    Before You Call Them Negative… Listen to This

    · Create Magic At Work®

    Ever worked with someone who seems to always spot the risks before you do?

    Maybe you've even labeled them negative, paranoid, or too intense—but what if they were actually the Guardian of your team?

    In this episode, Amy breaks down the Guardian Archetype—the ones who scan the horizon for danger, ask the hard questions, and protect people and systems from harm before the rest of us know it's coming.

    🛡You’ll hear:

    A real-world story of a Guardian in action (and how they saved the day) What makes this archetype indispensable in fast-moving teams How to distinguish fear-based reactions from strategic foresight Why most people misunderstand Guardians—and how to support them better

    ⚡️ And if you're a Guardian yourself? This episode will feel like a deep exhale. You’re not negative. You’re necessary.

    🎧 Tune in to learn how to work with (not against) the energy of Guardians—whether you lead one, love one, or are one.

    Key Takeaways: The Guardian archetype sees potential risks and protects organizational integrity during change. Guardians can be misunderstood as resistant, but their concerns are often rooted in deep care and foresight. Teams that ignore Guardians risk repeating past mistakes or missing hidden landmines. Guardians need to be seen and engaged constructively—not just tolerated.

  • "We Tried That and It Didn’t Work”: The Power of the Placeholder

    · Create Magic At Work®

    Ever been told: “We tried that and it didn’t work”?

    Most people hear that as resistance. But what if it’s something else entirely?

    In the 2nd episode of the Archetypes of Change Summer Series, Amy Lynn Durham introduces you to the Placeholder archetype—a vital, often misunderstood role in the workplace. You’ll meet Teresa, a steady leader who held her team together during a messy system rollout—not by pushing forward, but by protecting what was already working.

    🎧 In this episode:

    What defines the Placeholder Archetype (and why every team has one) The real reason “we tried that already” gets said—and what’s hiding underneath it How Placeholders create safety, structure, and rhythm in times of uncertainty The risks of ignoring their wisdom—and how to engage them in change without steamrolling

    This isn’t a personality quiz. It’s a lens for seeing your team—and yourself—more clearly. And it might just change the way you lead your next change initiative.

  • Rethinking Change: What Your Team Wishes You Knew

    Rethinking Change: What Your Team Wishes You Knew

    · Create Magic At Work®

    In this first solo episode of the Archetypes of Change™ summer series, Amy Lynn Durham invites you to rethink everything you thought you knew about change in the workplace.

    Forget the buzzwords. This isn’t about forcing alignment or pushing people to “get on board.” It’s about something deeper: how we each relate to change—and how that’s shaped by our relationship to time itself.

    You’ll learn:

    Why change efforts often feel personal (because they are) What most leaders miss when they try to “logic” people through transition The 5 Archetypes of Change™—and how they show up in every team Why giving your people language for how they move through change can transform your results How this framework goes far beyond personality tests—and why it matters now more than ever

    Whether you’re leading a reorg, rolling out a new strategy, or just trying to hold the center in a rapidly evolving culture—this episode is your grounding point.

    Key Takeaways: People don’t resist change—they resist being changed without feeling seen. The “Archetypes of Change” reveal instinctive responses to transition based on time orientation. Leading change well requires understanding—not forcing—how individuals naturally move through change. Executive coaching rooted in these archetypes fosters trust, alignment, and innovation. Misalignment during change is often due to misunderstanding, not resistance.

  • The Truth About Coaching vs. Therapy (and What You Actually Need) with Rivka Geoghegan

    The Truth About Coaching vs. Therapy (and What You Actually Need) with Rivka Geoghegan

    · Create Magic At Work®

    In this episode, Amy teams up with executive coach and former psychotherapist Rivka Geoghegan to unpack the real difference between therapy and coaching.

    They dive into how each can support your growth, when to choose one over the other, and why so many founders tie their self-worth to their business.

    It’s a deep yet down-to-earth convo full of practical wisdom, inner critic callouts, and mindset shifts you won’t want to miss.

    Key Takeaways: Therapy is insight-oriented and focused on healing; coaching is action-oriented and forward-looking. A strong sense of self is crucial for founders to avoid tying their worth to the business. Being affected by outcomes is natural—but letting those outcomes define you is not. A supportive relationship with a coach or therapist can help clarify your needs and direction. Your internal narrative—especially your inner critic—shapes your experience of external events.

    Key Takeaways: Communication styles are often misread—especially when emotional expression and directness are involved.

Boundaries are about honoring both yourself and others—without resentment. Emotional intelligence starts with curiosity, not judgment.

    Key Takeaways: Psychological safety is about recognizing when someone is in a fight, flight, or freeze state—and understanding how to respond with compassion. Direct communication doesn’t have to mean discomfort. Leaders must balance authenticity with awareness of how their style impacts others. Fear often disguises itself in workplace dynamics. Learning to identify and address fear-based reactions can transform team relationships. When people feel psychologically safe, they function at a higher level. The brain shifts from survival mode to creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. Psychological safety is a team effort. It’s not just about the leader—it’s about building a culture where everyone understands and supports it.

    Key Takeaways: Employee experience is often misunderstood. Leaders believe they’re offering clarity, but employees often experience confusion and frustration. Feedback must balance care with candor. People need honest, actionable input—delivered with respect and intent to help them grow. Brain chemistry plays a role in workplace motivation. Work should be designed to naturally trigger positive brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Power skills are the future. With automation handling routine tasks, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration are becoming the most valuable human skills.
