The Engagement Crisis Impacting Young Workers 19:35

vor 11 hours19:35

19:35

As a leader, how can you tackle disengagement on your team? Employee engagement is in crisis, and it’s costing more than just morale. According to Gallup, only 31% of the American workforce is engaged at work, while a staggering 17% are actively disengaged—cynical, vocal, and dragging others down with them. This outlook takes a toll on worker mental health, and it’s also a full-blown productivity problem with real financial consequences. In this episode, I unpack the findings of Gallup’s Q12 engagement survey and look at how leaders and managers can use it as a blueprint for creating meaningful, motivating work environments. From setting clear expectations to building genuine connections and offering real opportunities for growth, we explore the practical ways to shift your team’s momentum. Take a deeper look at what the numbers say about leading your most impactful team: What the generational divide in employee engagement might reveal; Why it’s not as simple as blaming remote work for all the problems; How expectations create the foundation for a more engaged workforce.

Directional Living for Aligned Fulfillment 44:57

What would happen if you stopped pursuing a career destination and focused instead on the best direction? Too often, we find ourselves checking the “right” boxes to get the best degree and climb the corporate ladder, only to find ourselves unfulfilled as we near the top. There’s something wrong with that picture. Megan Hellerer, the author of “Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life,” joins me to talk about the approach she has adopted and the one she now teaches. Directional living is about recognizing that human beings change over time. It’s about eschewing a Final Destination and the resulting roadmap and instead focusing on what aligns with our lives and goals as we go through life. Embrace Megan’s individualized approach to constructing a fulfilling life and career: Why the American Dream just isn’t serving us anymore; Why we can’t define fulfillment by society’s limiting perception of success; How recalibrating your inner thermostat can help you start living directionally; Why the idea of “failure” is overrated and what to focus on instead.

How to Think Like a Leader, Not Just a Manager 18:43

vor 14 Tagen18:43

What separates a good manager from a great leader—and why does it matter for your career? The important difference between these two mindsets is often overlooked, but recognizing and honing a leadership approach can help land you the promotion, raise, or amazing new job you deserve. In this episode, I share three key dimensions where making the shift from a management to a leadership mindset really lets you shine. Through practical examples and workplace scenarios, I explore how leadership isn't about abandoning managerial skills and their inherent structure—it's about thinking more broadly, connecting more deeply, and pushing for change when it counts. From writing memos to preparing a presentation, anyone can start zooming out, questioning the status quo, and influencing outcomes at a higher level. Think big-picture with these little mindset shifts: The difference between being task-focused and people-focused; The benefits of shifting from execution to innovation; What it means to do the right thing, not just do things right; How to sharpen your leadership mentality in any situation.

Autism in the Workplace: Inspiring More Inclusivity 39:04

What can you or your organization do to make the workplace more inclusive for people with autism? Recently, RFK Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, attracted considerable criticism following his disparagingly blanket statements about people with autism. Many people in the autism community lead fulfilling lives full of love, joy, and productive work—despite the hapless and hopeless depiction of this population that RFK shared. This is an excellent moment to draw attention to my conversation with Amanda Kelly, the president and CEO of Firefly Autism and one of the founders of the groundbreaking Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce (CNDCC). It’s impossible not to look at our growing talent shortage in this country and ask: why aren’t we hiring neurodivergent and autistic people? In this episode, Amanda dives into how we can all make our workplaces more welcoming for neurodivergent individuals, who make up one-fifth of our population. Whether you’re neurodiverse or neurotypical, Amanda’s jaw-dropping stats and pursuit of equity will inspire you: Learn about the shocking lack of career resources for autistic adults; Discover how organizations can make their workplaces more inclusive, for neurodivergent people and beyond; Break down the ongoing issues of neurodiversity and inequities in diagnosis; Understand the unique gender component of autism and its impacts.

The SAVE Act Threatens Women’s Ability to Vote 15:52

vor 28 Tagen15:52

How could the SAVE Act send us tumbling back to the Suffragette era? This bill that’s pending review in the Senate could jeopardize voting access for up to 69 million American women. It would require all voters to prove citizenship with a passport or birth certificate in order to register to vote, which is a big problem for anyone who’s name has changed since birth—including through marriage—as well as anyone who doesn’t have easy access to such documentation. In this episode, I take a closer look at whether the concern from women and voter rights activists across the country is legitimate or overblown. Spoiler alert: it’s worse than I imagined. Make sure you’re in the know about this major threat, including: The specifics of the SAVE Act; The challenges that make this legislation so alarming to women’s and voter rights activists; How you can make your voice heard to prevent this bill from becoming law.

Can Public Policy Encourage Women to Have More Babies? 22:28

vor 6 weeks22:28

How might public policy positively impact our drastically declining birth rate? President Trump has suggested that all new parents receive a one-time $5,000 payout in the hopes of encouraging people to have more children. You likely had some kind of strong reaction to this statement. Whether that was surprise at a Republican recommending a social support, concern about forcing people to have more kids, or annoyance at how insignificant an amount is on the table—you’re definitely not alone. It’s clear that people are having fewer babies these days. But it’s the reasons behind this fact that are sometimes in question and need to be addressed. In this episode, I take a closer look at, and share my thoughts on, how policy has—and potentially could—impact plummeting birth rates in the U.S. and beyond. Consider the interplay between public policy and early childhood care, including: The statistical divide between how many kids women want and how many they’re having; The glaring problems that get in the way of having children in today’s economy; The family-friendly policies we’ve seen proposed, passed, and tabled til now; How far we need to take these initiatives if we want to reverse the birth rate decline.

Girl Power and the Faux Feminism of the 1990s 36:19

Were the 1990s really the “girl power” era of women’s empowerment we remember? If you were “coming of age” or raising young girls 30 years ago, you probably remember the tumult of scantily clad celebs and brand-backed messaging ostensibly celebrating women’s empowerment. Sophie Gilbert, an author and The Atlantic staff writer, dives into just how empowering this period really was in her new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves , which drops today. On today’s episode, Sophie leads us through her lightbulb moments and research for the book, exploring the social messaging that planted some pretty problematic ideas in the minds of young and teenage girls and people of all genders. This is an important history to examine, as is the question of how we avoid the same missteps in the future. Start talking about the real past and critical future of feminism, including: How we were fooled into believing sexual power was the only kind we could possess; Why the goal of commercial feminism changed so drastically from the early to the late 90s; How we can start to claim the power we deserve (even when it feels like we don’t have the time).

What happens when your career becomes your whole identity? Passion for our careers can drive us to achieve great things. But a laser focus on the job can become the only thing in our lives, edging out the personal goals, hobbies, and relationships that make us well-rounded human beings. My guest today, psychologist Dr. Janna Koretz, founded Azimuth Psychological to help individuals in high-pressure positions who experience career enmeshment: the complete entrenchment of their identities in their work. Dr. Koretz and I discuss the potential pitfalls of living for work and how recognizing and aligning with our values serves as a compass to help us remain passionate and committed without losing ourselves to our careers. Dive into Dr. Koretz’s insightful take on career enmeshment, including: When single-minded passion for your work becomes problematic; What happens to your identity when your one-and-only focus is forced to shift; The inextricable interplay between values alignment and a satisfying career; Free tools that will help you name your values and start applying them purposefully.

How to Inclusively Celebrate DEI Holidays & Heritage Months at Work 32:57

What can your workplace do to celebrate holidays like Women’s History Month the “right” way? Whether you’re proud of how your organization shows support for marginalized groups in the workplace or feel like it could be doing more, my conversation with DEI educator and Ampersand Workspace founder Veronique Porter is just as (if not more) relevant today as when it first aired in May of 2023. Veronique shares what her experience as a Black American woman, her education in international development and American studies and culture, and her work as a facilitator has taught her about the best way to approach this often fraught topic—a way to create company events and initiatives for heritage holidays that uphold both company and employee values and stand to make a real difference. Learn how your organization can host outstanding and inclusive cultural events: Why workplace wokeness doesn’t detract from the financial bottom line (and actually does the opposite); The significance of spending money and resources on heritage events; Why it’s vital to give every employee the chance to get involved; The importance of getting clear on the company’s values before diving in.

How can you reclaim your power in a job that’s just “good enough”? It turns out The Perfect Job isn’t nearly as common as the LinkedIn posts would have us believe. Most of us spend our working hours in a job that’s okay but far from perfect. The good news is that you can thrive in a just-okay career if you embrace the art of “leading yourself.” In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Lotardo to talk about this very concept, which doubles as the title of her new book, Leading Yourself. Elizabeth has spent years helping people at all different stages of their careers discover the potential that awaits when they stop pursuing perfection and begin taking charge of the job they’re already in. Learn to maximize the job you already have by uncovering: The reason we feel like we’re failing if we aren’t holding out for the perfect job; Why it can be empowering to “give up on the dream” of getting a paycheck from our passion How small changes in your day-to-day can make a huge difference; And when you might need to phone it in before you fall apart.

Feel like you’re the only one keeping your friendships going? Recently, I received a letter from a listener about an extremely relatable issue: how to build or rebuild stronger friendships when it seems to be increasingly difficult to do so. You’ve probably experienced some shifts in friend frequency and intensity throughout your adult years. Making plans and finding the right people to share platonic relationships with gets harder as our priorities shift and our lives get more hectic. In this episode, I explore some of the ways I’ve dealt with this increasingly common and publicized problem myself. Spark some hope with these actionable approaches to fixing your friendships: Identify exactly what’s missing from your relationships; Normalize and ritualize casual hosting; Keep resentment from curbing your call for companions.
