In this installment of the Schmidt List, host Kurt Schmidt sits down with leadership expert Dave Pygon to dissect the role of self-awareness in ineffective leadership. Pygon, the mind behind Pygon One Consulting and author of "16 Principles and Strategies to Optimize Your Day," delves into the need for leaders to be aware of their values and the impacts of their leadership styles on their teams.
A critical theme of the episode is the need for clarity in setting expectations for team performance while moving away from the glorification of 'busyness.' Pygon champions a shift towards discussing positive, productive aspects of daily life, noting that negative talk can be demotivating and unhelpful.
The conversation turns to the pitfalls of micromanagement, pushing for a culture that empowers individuals rather than fostering dependency. Pygon encourages the practice of regular self-improvement through coaching and mentoring to enhance leadership skills like communication and mental resilience.
Kurt and Dave concur on the essentiality of adapting and staying open to change rather than remaining tethered to familiar, old-fashioned methods of operation. Pygon suggests that facing challenges with a positive outlook and communicating effectively can dramatically improve professional and personal outcomes.
Illustrating his book's principles, Pygon advises avoiding micromanagement by entrusting teams with tools and autonomy. He shares anecdotes that further demonstrate the positive impact of communication in both business and personal spheres.
Most of the episode discusses the importance of prioritizing and effectively managing time. Pygon shares his strategies for fitting high-priority tasks into busy schedules, emphasizing the need to compete with time to achieve better outcomes.

In this inspiring episode of "Schmidt List," host Kurt Schmidt welcomes Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, a distinguished expert on resilience with a background at esteemed organizations like Cigna and Nike.
Their conversation revolves around the theme of resilience, with Dr. Taryn debunking the idea that time alone heals, and emphasizing active engagement in our healing processes.
Dr. Taryn introduces the novel concept of "cilliance," which signifies discovering our inherent strengths to navigate life’s adversities. The episode challenges the misconception that resilience is an external acquisition, advocating instead that it’s an innate trait we can cultivate, particularly by embracing vulnerability.
Highlighting "real-time resilience," Dr. Taryn discusses the ability to access resilience in the present, not only in hindsight. She suggests that resilience broadens our self-belief, encouraging individuals, especially women, to ambitiously pursue opportunities despite self-doubt.
Addressing "fake" against authentic resilience, Dr. Taryn criticizes the "fake it till you make it" approach, promoting a life vision backed by actionable steps. Resilience is metaphorically described as a muscle powered by our dreams, which we need to actively develop.
The power of words and expressions, such as how a smile can influence our sense of happiness, is also covered, underscoring the significant impact our language choices have on our psychological states.
The duo discusses professional resilience, with Dr. Taryn advising on the importance of establishing boundaries in toxic work environments. A personal story of her handling a stressful parenting moment exemplifies resilience in action, as she decides to respond with composure rather than react with stress, influencing her son’s experiences positively.
Dr. Taryn clarifies that resilience is not about imperviousness but entails evolving through adversities by learning and integrating the experiences they grant us. Resilience encompasses a gamut of emotions, and effectively managing these emotions is key.
Resilience, as per Dr. Taryn, is intrinsic to humanity, a process involving the adoption of skills and practices. Despite personal challenges, including facing a stalker and living with undiagnosed dyslexia, she asserts resilience as a cornerstone for success in life and leadership.
In conclusion, Dr. Taryn points listeners to her resources, like her book "The Five Practices of Highly Resilient People," and the pair exchange accolades on their insights and the value of the discussion on the "Schmidt List" podcast.

Here are some key takeaways from the conversation.
Networking Mindset: Brent emphasizes the importance of genuine interest in others—rather than viewing networking as a transactional process, approach it as an opportunity to connect, learn, and potentially contribute to someone else’s journey.Active Networking: They discussed the misconception that networking is only for those in career transitions. In reality, staying engaged and nurturing professional relationships can benefit individuals, whether employed or seeking new opportunities.Leveraging LinkedIn: Brent and Kurt highlighted the significance of using LinkedIn strategically to participate in conversations, align with industry values, and increase visibility within specific professional circles. Kurt and Brent also touched on the benefits of actively engaging with your network during the holiday season and dispelled the myth that hiring pauses during this time.
Additionally, they shared practical tips for carving out dedicated networking time and finding conversations that resonate with your professional interests.
