  • #028 The Power of Healthy People
    Mar 12 2024

    Episode Highlights, Links and Resources:

    In the introduction, Jeremie mentions there is a need for re-establishing base communication and relational trust. Having Sherpas in the organization is the key. As a Sherpa goes, so goes the team. As a team goes, so goes the organization. If you want to fix your culture, it will take a minimum of three years to put the systems in place. Once you do, though, it will last you 10+ years. You'll create a culture of empowerment instead of just compliance.

    Our guest this episode is Ryan Mayfield. He is a Guardian/Nurturer who has learned so much about himself through the 5 Voices. To learn more about the 5 Voices and to understand your Voice, take the assessment here.

    Ryan explains the power behind the Team Performance Assessment and how it can transform a team by creating awareness of what areas need strengthened. It allows you to measure the effectiveness of a team and give you a baseline so you know what direction in which to focus. The goal is to create healthy leaders, teams and organizations.

    Ryan works with clients in various industries both in-person and virtually. If you'd like to reach out to him to see ways he could work with your team or organization, reach out to him here.

    Our favorite episode quotes:
    Jeremie, Once someone figures out the power of the Sherpa and they empower them, then the organization sees growth happen. You have to develop team leaders because as the team leaders so goes that team. As the team goes, so goes the organization.
    Ryan, "If your people aren't healthy, you'll never rise to the greatness of your systems."
    Steve, "Learn to harness the super powers of everyone on a key for effective communication".

    Masi shared a piece of wisdom she has heard before. "What you win your teams WITH, is what you will win them TO." She emphasizes the need to live out what your saying within your organization. The culture within an organization needs to be living out their values. In other words, LIVE what you're selling!

    So, if you are leading an organization, "What are you selling to your employees?" It's not a one-and done. It must be an on-going living out of your values.

    Our favorite episode quotes:
    Steve, "Work can be incredible, but if a key relationship is off, no amount of business success brings peace when misalignment in key relationships is there."
    Jeremie, "When I am at peace, I'm really good. When I'm not at Peace, I'm really average. Peace is power."
    Masi, "What you win your teams WITH, is what you will win them TO."

    Episode Takeaway from Steve: You only have finite time and you must prioritize what is most important. How do I disappoint people who want more of my time, in a healthy way?
    Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: Peace is power! If you want to empower people, you must have internal peace. Fight being at peace.

  • #023 Change Within
    Apr 25 2023

    Episode Highlights, Links and Resources:

    In the introduction, Steve and Jeremie discuss  Vision. Do you have a Vision problem? Do others have Vision for you that is higher than your Vision for yourself? Are the opinions of others dictating your Vision for yourself? Steve mentioned that the primary responsibility of a leader is to set direction and cast Vision. Dream outside what you think is possible outside of your to-do list.  Five years from now, what are the things that you want to see happen?  

    Our guest on this episode is Dr. Jessica Rimmer. Jessica runs a GiANT agency called Solomon. To learn more or do reach out for her consulting services, check out her website.

    Jeremie asked Jessica what she sees working in businesses right now. She responded that people are tired of the conflict in the world. It's an important time for leaders to become healthy. There is an urgency around getting healthy and staying healthy. Leaders must think for themselves, own their point of view and be proactive in leadership. She sees the importance of helping leaders focus on what really matters from a sense of peace.  People don't have reserves yet, so if they are going to be able to function they have to work to get healthy.


    Our favorite episode quotes: 
    Steve, "The primary responsibility of a leader is to set direction and cast Vision."
