We’re told to be resilient. To tough it out. To stay the course. In reality, that may not be possible at the moment. But, eventually, we have to look ahead. It’s pointless to stay mired in disappointment, defeat, or depression.
What does looking ahead entail? That's what we're going to explore in this episode.

Today I want to talk about how we speak, hope for, pray for, cheer for other people. What I’m talking about is affirming another person.
When we think of affirmations we often think of the things we say to ourselves. The positive self-talk. The statement on the post-it on the mirror that we repeat regularly.
What we don’t realize is that we can affirm other people. We can affirm them in our heads, in our hearts, and with our words. And that's where we're headed in this episode...

If you listen to these podcasts, you know I get some of my best inspiration at church. Some of the sermons leave indelible imprints on my heart. Two Sundays ago the minister asked this question: What kind of vision does God have for your life?
That question made me think about what kind of vision I have for my life. I know I’m not living in darkness or denial. But I think it’s probably time for me to think about my vision for Joanne. In this short podcast I want to get you thinking about some of the questions I've been asking myself. They may be useful as you delve deeper into your vision for your life.

Many people, myself included, have held or do hold resentments. Resentment towards other people, towards organizations, towards societal systems…resentment can be directed anywhere and it has tremendous power. It can control or impact our thoughts and our actions. The power of resentment is generally negative. It is generally not life-affirming. It often depletes our energy and derails our focus. Let's explore ways to identify and move beyond our resentments.

This summer I had the pleasure, tongue in cheek, of planning and conducting an estate sale…a three day estate sale for a home that was lovingly occupied for almost 50 years. Lovingly occupied by two people who bought everything they wanted in multiples. That being said, there was a LOT of stuff. They had so much stuff that the three-day one weekend sale was actually a six-day two weekend sale. We encountered some real characters who had interesting negotiating styles, many quite ineffective. I am going to share some of the things they taught me.

So many leadership theorists, scholars, and consultants like myself talk about transforming organizations, transforming leaders, transforming the world. I don’t know if we say this enough: there is no transformation without application.
This podcast focuses on application. My first question is this: Which leadership styles, practices and principles are you applying? What are you being intentional about? Understanding what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how you're doing it are all essential in creating the kind of application that can be transformative.
