Episode 272: Overcommitting begins one "yes" at a time -- until you have said yes SO many times you run out of hours in the day. This is especially dangerous if you are overcommitting to volunteering. Whenever we volunteer, that is time taken from family, friends, and personal pursuits but it impacts our work too if we burn out. This week, I spoke with Kelsey Casselbury, PCM, CDMP of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) about the lessons she has learned from her own experiences volunteering. She learned quite a lot when she agreed to be the chief volunteer leader of TWO nonprofit organizations during the 2020 lockdown. And yes, both organizations relied on in-person events for revenue. Are you gasping yet? Kelsey also shares her advice from the staff perspective about helping our organization's volunteers have a balanced schedule of volunteering. You don't want to miss this one!

Episode 271: One of my favorite guests, Carl Weaver, is back and he has brought a doozy of a question: How are Associations like the "Planet of the Apes?" We do our best to answer this question but, as we often do, we get distracted by our curious minds and the marketplace of ideas! We talk about associations, confusion of purpose, tiered societies, the history of certain behaviors, knowing the "why" of things like budget line items, the evolution of societies, good and bad tension in organizations, and of course, books! If you like to meander through the world of ideas, join us for this virtual walk as we look at connections differently and do some name dropping. Get to know us better too! What do you think associations have in common with science fiction? Share a comment!

Episode 265: When things change too fast for us to keep up, and it seems like the things that made sense are gone, it can be frightening. In a novel of an incredibly disruptive time, the French Revolution, Charles Dickens wrote "A Tale of Two Cities," and he started the story with: "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." It is a story of disruption -- just like the era in which we live today. The 21st century is just about 25 years old -- it's time to change the way you lead. How can we do our best in a changing world? In this episode, I talk with Michael Butera of Association Activision and Cheryl Ronk, CAE, of SoRight LLC about the importance of Adaptive Leadership and how it helps you Define Your Impact. We discuss purposeful evolution in real time, intentional agility in a disruptive environment, and making the most of the patterns and differences affecting your organization. We all agree that adaptation is the new super power! What do you think? Share a comment!

Episode 264: Did you know there is something out there holding people back? It's called The Bamboo Ceiling and it affects people of Asian descent. My guest, Khánh Vũ, CEO of the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), explains what it is, who it affects, and why we need to be aware of it. The Bamboo Ceiling can prevent your team members from achieving their potential and it can deprive them of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Understanding culture and adopting different ways of interacting with your team can break down stereotypes and help your entire team overcome challenges. This is an insightful and fun conversation about breaking down barriers to understanding. How do you address The Bamboo Ceiling? Share a comment!
