In Season 1 Ted said he loves meeting people's moms, because "it is like reading an instruction manual as to why they're nuts". Now, in the second to last episode of the series we finally get to meet Ted's mom, and yep... it explains a lot! But Ted is doing his best to break generational cycles of trauma and harm. We draw parallels to how the younger generations are actively breaking the cycles of trauma and harm in the work place.

Many of us have an uncomfortable relationship with the idea of "quitting" anything -- a relationship, a project, a hobby, a job, etc. We are quick to assume that we weren't good enough. In this episode we talk about how to reframe and navigate the moments when you are thinking of moving on from a situation.

Rebecca gives him some extra-tough-love feedback when he skips a press conference, reminding him that there is only so much wiggle room a person can get for their personality if they fail to meet the requirements of their role. We discuss when are the moments that call for toughness, when all other forms of communication fail.

The Ted Lasso episode we unpack touches on the tension between wanting information from others while also wanting privacy from others. We also discuss the conundrum most companies are facing: How to get people to come back to the office, for even 1-2 days a week.

We depart from our typical format in this episode for a couple of good reasons. We added a guest interview with Jen Casimiro -- a Systems Designer with a focus on Equity -- at the end of the episode to take a deeper dive into one of our topics. Additionally, since we recorded this episode right after a two month summer break, we spend some time up front catching up on all the TV episodes we have watched and plan to watch.

For this very special episode of Ted Lasso (S3, E6 Sunflowers), we invited a very special guest. Our friend Alexis Gonzales-Black is a Partner at August Public and is an expert in empowered decision making. She helps us break down what's happening in the scene when Isaac, the captain, is trying to get the team to make a collective decision about their evening plans. Of course we also talk about Rebecca and her gezellig experience in Amsterdam.

Shandy has proven to be a liability to her employer, and Keeley needs to now fire her. We unpack both sides of that conversation and share our thoughts on the "compliment sandwich" approach to feedback.
-
Coach Beard and Roy tried to rally the team around a "common enemy" as a way to motivate them on winning. But, the players went deep into their feelings of anger, lost focus, and the plan backfired. We discuss the pros and cons of using anger as a motivator.

Zava shows up and assumes a leadership position on the team. Some folks are happy and eager to follow. But Jamie doesn't buy the whole hero / savior narrative, and worries the team is forgetting their own strengths. We discuss what it looks like to add a "super star" to an already healthy and trusting team. We go on a tiny tangent about childhood crushes (Jared Leto). And we compare Rebecca's experience at the psychic to the experience we had with a roadside psychic in North Carolina.
Notes: Virginia embarrasses herself by referring to the classic 1995 film "Now and Then" as "Then and Now". If you haven't seen "Now and Then" please do so. She usually records at 7am, so probably didn't have enough coffee. The Japanese art of mending broken things with gold is called Kintsugi.

This episode has a lot of interesting introductions and re-introductions. In this episode we discuss what it looks like to dim your own light, or dim the light of others. And alternatively, what it looks like when you are able to *shine a light* on others (for better or worse). Keeley identifies potential in an old friend and makes her first hire, the team is adapting to the addition of Zava the Superstar, and Trent takes accountability for his hurtful criticism of Roy many years ago. We talk about it all and ramble into many other areas.

We're back and ready to talk about Season 3 of Ted Lasso. It's obvious Ted is feeling out of sorts, and we contemplate whether he's contemplating how much longer he wants to stay at this job. We gush about Rebecca's personal and professional growth to date (swoon). And we provide "audible eye-rolls" at how the show decided to launch Keeley's entrepreneurial journey by making her seem naive and helpless.

We love when our listeners reach out and recommend shows for us to talk about. And for the most part, we enjoy the shows themselves. But that doesn't mean they lend themselves to great conversations about leadership development and/or organizational design. So this three part series is dedicated to the shows you want us to talk about, but we can't really talk about.

We're not sure everyone realizes that we met over Instagram during the pandemic, and had never met in real life. That is... not until Virginia flew out to North Carolina to surprise Kara for the Ted Lasso Season 3 premier party she was hosting. Of course, Virginia traveled with her microphone. And also of course, Kara booked them an appointment with a local psychic to hear what the future has in store for the podcast.

Thanks to social media, there is no shortage of hashtags relating to being a boss. And... also thanks to social media, there is no shortage to backlash to those hashtags and the various flavors of boss-culture they represent. In this episode we explore themes of becoming a boss and/or stepping into one's boss-like qualities. Which we would describe as: embracing the responsibilities of leadership with the right amount of self-confidence
On March 15th, Kara will be hosting a watch party for the Season 3 Premier of Ted Lasso. If you are in the Cary, NC area please join! You can find more info and RSVP here

When Rebecca's father passes away, we get a glimpse into how others deal with the topic of death. Everyone seems to be thinking about loved ones they've lost, how they want to spend their short time on earth, and what it means to say good bye. In this podcast episode we discuss how the sad, scary, and disappointing experiences of our childhood inform who we become as adults -- especially with those challenging moments feel as if they were unacknowledged or unresolved.
