Reduce digital anxiety and optimize your communication no matter the distance. EPISODE NOTES Did you know that 50% of the time the tone over email, Slack, and text is misunderstood?

Kathryn Mannix: How to Die Well
Prepare for your own death—and live life more fully in the meantime. EPISODE NOTES Does talking about death freak you out? No wonder, it's something many of us avoid thinking about and prefer pretending it's not there.

Diana Chapman: Take Radical Responsibility
Eliminate drama and create better relationships by owning your 100%. EPISODE NOTES Most of us learned how to do relationships from a state of victimhood. According to Karpman's Drama Triangle, there are three different roles to play: the victim, the hero and the villain. Regardless of these parts we take on, we're avoiding taking full responsibility for our experiences and our results in the world, which in turn causes a lot of drama and suffering. In this episode, Diana Chapman explains what it...
Jim Dethmer: You're Allowed to Be Scared
Become a conscious, authentic leader by befriending your fear—and every other emotion, too. EPISODE NOTES One thing most leaders have in common is that they want to perform well. And that often leads them into the trap of believing that to be a great leader, you’re not allowed to be scared—or at least that you'd better not show it. In this episode, Jim Dethmer invites us to embrace the opposite: allowing yourself to be fully present and fully alive—including feeling all your feelings—is the firs...

Farai Chideya: You’re More Than Your Job
Keep your career thriving in today’s volatile job market with a new perspective on identity and jobs from Farai Chideya. EPISODE NOTES For a lot of us, our job is a profound expression of selfhood.
