Most leaders believe they’re building trust and leading the right way, but their teams quietly experience the opposite. Are you experiencing an intention-action gap in creating the workplace culture you want?

In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with lawyer-turned-leadership expert Valerie Zolezzi-Wyndham, who breaks down one of the most overlooked problems in modern leadership: the intention–action gap, where leaders genuinely want to create inclusive, high-trust workplaces, but their actions fail to match those intentions. Drawing from her background in law, Valerie explains why relying on rules, compliance, or legal frameworks alone can actually damage workplace culture. She shares how leaders unknowingly break trust, why fast-paced environments amplify bias, and how companies often solve the wrong problems entirely. You’ll also learn about her company’s 8 Leadership Principles, why empathy and courage are often misunderstood, and how “hidden strengths” can reshape how leaders grow. If you’re a manager, entrepreneur, or team leader trying to build trust and engagement in your organization, this episode gives you a practical, science-backed framework to close the gap between intention and impact.

In reality, your silence might be the very thing destroying your organization from the inside out.

In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu speaks with leadership expert and author Ira Chaleff about the concept of courageous followership and why leadership success depends not only on strong leaders but also on followers who are willing to speak up. They explore how followers can influence leaders, the four styles of followership, and the balance between supporting leadership and constructively challenging decisions when necessary. Ira also explains the idea of intelligent disobedience and how individuals can develop the courage and critical thinking needed to question authority when actions conflict with shared values or organizational goals. This episode offers practical insights on navigating power dynamics at work, building healthier leader–follower relationships, and using your voice responsibly to strengthen teams and organizations. Whether you're navigating a corporate hierarchy or dealing with a toxic political environment, this conversation provides a roadmap for leveraging your influence, setting boundaries, and ensuring your voice is heard. Learn how to break the "freeze" response and use critical thinking to protect your career and your values.

They're grieving, and most leadership training never names it. That's why every "move on" conversation backfires and every engagement initiative fails.

In this three-part compilation of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu walks through what ambiguous workplace grief actually is, why restructures and layoffs create real loss that looks nothing like typical grief or depression, and how leaders keep mislabeling it as disengagement, low morale, or quiet quitting.

Part one shows you how to spot the difference between grief, burnout, change resistance, and institutional betrayal. Part two breaks down the three well-meaning leader responses that make everything worse (the minimizer, the false optimist, and the conflict avoider) and why even great change management fails without a grief-informed leadership framework. Part three gives you the exact framework, including specific language you can use with your team after layoffs, a merger, or a reorg.

If you lead people through organizational change, this is the episode that will change how you show up.

In this episode, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with Dr. Paul Damiano, executive coach and creator of "Funny Business," a methodology using cartoons and humor to deepen awareness in leaders worldwide, to talk about something most leadership conversations skip entirely: how humor actually works as a leadership tool. Not stand-up comedy, not being the funny person in the room, but using levity and perspective to build trust, disarm tension, and get to the truth faster.

Paul shares how he uses cartoons as a projective coaching technique with executives to surface what is really going on beneath the surface, and Mira goes through the exercise herself on camera to demonstrate the practice. What you see is a leader who is deeply self-aware, using a simple tool to sharpen that awareness even further.

Whether you lead a small team or a room of 100, Paul makes a compelling case that humor is not just a nice-to-have. It is one of the most underused and disproportionately powerful tools a leader can develop.

Discover how a well-timed humorous comment might resolve issues faster than another difficult conversation. And when it doesn’t.

In this powerful episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with experiential consultant, psychologist, and self-proclaimed “comedic philosopher,” Dr. Daniel Cruz Lattimore to unpack a critical, overlooked leadership tool. Humor isn't just about getting laughs; it's a strategic driver of psychological safety and team resilience. You'll learn when humor is misused and acts as cloaked bullying and damages trust, how to properly read your organization's unwritten cultural rules before attempting a joke, and why the improv concept of "yes, and" builds unstoppable, supportive teams. Whether you are dealing with heavy change management or simply want a low-risk way to spark genuine connection in your daily huddles, this episode proves that sometimes the heaviest work requires a lighter touch.

Here’s the hidden cycle that keeps high achievers stuck, burned out, and constantly doubting themselves.

In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu explores the vicious cycle that keeps high achievers stuck in burnout, overworking, and self-doubt, using the powerful story of Elaine, a high-performing physician who proved her capability repeatedly yet was still overlooked and undervalued in her leadership role. This episode breaks down why driven professionals push themselves beyond their limits, how people-pleasing and perfectionism develop as coping mechanisms, and why external success never truly fills the internal need for validation. It also challenges the common belief that these struggles are personal weaknesses, revealing instead how workplace environments and systemic pressures play a major role in creating imposter syndrome, fear, and exhaustion. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the recognition or results you deserve, this conversation will help you rethink your approach to success, leadership, and self-worth.

Whether you’re a leader trying to improve how you show up at work, or a coach or consultant looking to sharpen how you support others, this episode is designed for you. 

If you moved into leadership because you were a top performer, this conversation might change how you see leadership forever. Here is the science-backed framework from BetterUp's Chief Coaching Officer on how to actually lead in the age of AI.

In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with Dr. Woody Woodward, the Chief Coaching Officer at BetterUp, to unpack why so many leaders struggle after moving into leadership and how coaching actually drives real behavior change.

Dr. Woodward breaks down their proprietary "GUIDE" framework the 5-step system used to coach thousands of executives. You will learn why 72% of employees are "passengers" in the AI revolution , how to identify and avoid the "Vanity Coaches" who are scamming you , and the specific difference between therapy and executive coaching. The discussion also goes deeper into how AI and technology are reshaping coaching not by replacing human coaches, but by enhancing them and why leaders navigating constant disruption need more than advice: they need structured, science-backed support that helps them lead through others, not around them. If you want to humanize the work experience and drive actual results, this episode is your blueprint.

Career success isn’t built on hard work alone; it’s shaped by the people and relationships you build along the way.

In this episode of The Hard Skills, leadership advisor and psychologist Dr. Mira Brancu challenges two common career myths: that supervisors automatically become mentors and that networking is only for extroverts. She explores how mentorship can happen informally through observation and shared experiences, and explains the concept of “work netting,” an authentic approach to networking focused on meaningful connections rather than forced small talk. This episode offers practical insights on building supportive professional relationships, finding mentors naturally, and creating a strong foundation for long-term career growth and leadership success.

Most leaders believe career growth is a ladder. It's actually a series of "scary" leaps into the unknown. Most professionals wait for confidence before taking the next step but real career growth happens just outside your comfort zone.

In this episode, Dr. Mira Brancu explores why career growth rarely follows a linear path and how the most transformative opportunities often appear before we feel fully prepared. She breaks down the psychology behind stretch opportunities, explaining how stepping just outside your comfort zone within the Zone of Proximal Development builds real capability and long-term career momentum. Learn how to evaluate new roles using a practical five-question framework, why feelings of being underqualified are often misleading, and how social conditioning influences confidence in career decisions. Dr. Brancu also introduces the importance of building an “Informal Board of Directors,” highlighting how mentors, feedback, and strategic support systems help professionals navigate uncertainty, develop resilience, and turn intimidating career leaps into defining moments of growth.

Discover the "Invisible Architecture" that determines success or failure in complex organizations. This is Part 2 of our Strategic Clarity series.

In this deep dive, Dr. Mira Brancu reveals the hidden dynamics that an organizational chart will never show you. Most leaders fail because they play by the written rules while the "Invisible Architecture"—unspoken rules and hidden dynamics—runs the show. We break down the three pillars of corporate survival: Mapping true influence, navigating the weight of organizational history, and uncovering how decisions are really made. Learn how to "slow down to speed up" and move from being reactive to a proactive, strategic leader.

]]> <p>You followed the framework and built the plan—but your project still got blocked. Discover the &#34;Invisible Architecture&#34; that determines success or failure in complex organizations. This is Part 2 of our Strategic Clarity series. </p><p>In this deep dive, Dr. Mira Brancu reveals the hidden dynamics that an organizational chart will never show you. Most leaders fail because they play by the written rules while the &#34;Invisible Architecture&#34;—unspoken rules and hidden dynamics—runs the show. We break down the three pillars of corporate survival: Mapping true influence, navigating the weight of organizational history, and uncovering how decisions are really made. Learn how to &#34;slow down to speed up&#34; and move from being reactive to a proactive, strategic leader.</p><p><br></p><p>Ready to stop being reactive?

Stop firefighting and start diagnosing your leadership bottlenecks with this 2x2 grid.

In this episode, Dr. Mira Brancu addresses the "Black Hole Reactivity Vortex"—a common trap where high-performing leaders feel busy but fail to be strategic. Most leaders jump straight to solutions, but Dr. Brancu argues that we often solve the right problem at the wrong level. By applying a diagnostic framework used in complex medical fields, she introduces a 2x2 grid to identify the Vertical Systems Level (Individual, Team, Organizational, Societal) and the Horizontal Responsibility Level (Me, Team, Someone else, Organization). Through real-world case studies, you'll learn why "personality conflicts" are often system failures and how to use triage protocols to reclaim your time.

In this episode, Dr. Mira Brancu and Dr. Jeffrey Greene use a spicy sauce challenge to reveal why you must embrace "desirable difficulties" to truly lead and grow.

Are you suffering from an "infodemic"? In a world of infinite information, the most important skill you can develop is "critical ignoring"—the ability to filter out the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle for your career. Dr. Jeffrey Greene, a professor of educational psychology, breaks down the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and explains how to stay in the growth zone without hitting a breaking point. Meanwhile, Dr. Mira Brancu discusses the high-stakes world of leadership emotion regulation, proving that how you handle "the heat" in the boardroom determines your team’s psychological safety.

If you try to "business as usual" your way through it, you will lose your best people. Here is the exact framework to heal the damage.

In this final episode of the Ambiguous Grief series, Dr. Mira Brancu reveals why standard corporate responses to loss actually increase toxicity. When leaders minimize change or force false optimism, grief "spills over" into poor performance and resentment.

Dr. Brancu introduces "Grief-Informed Leadership," a 4-step framework designed to restore psychological safety. You will learn the "Name It to Tame It" technique, how to become an "Emotional Container," and why seeking closure is a trap. She also provides a word-for-word script on how to address your team after a layoff to rebuild trust and dignity immediately.

Matt Paddock, Director of Recruiting at AKQA, reveals how the stories we tell about our careers unlock hidden strengths, clarify values, and shape our professional futures—especially when navigating layoffs, AI disruption, and career pivots. From jazz musician to talent strategist, he shares why career storytelling isn't soft—it's survival.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Can you clearly articulate what you spend most of your waking hours doing? Most leaders can't. And when disruption hits, that gap between the work we do and the stories we tell costs us clarity, advancement, and resilience. From 20+ years leading talent strategy working with global brands and conducting thousands of successful hires, our guest, Matt Paddock, discovered that career storytelling is a core leadership and career competency. Whether you're navigating layoffs, succession planning, mass organizational transitions, or wondering where AI fits into your professional value proposition, your ability to craft and articulate your career narrative determines your trajectory. In this episode, you will learn lessons from Matt's unconventional path from jazz musician at Oberlin Conservatory to recruiting leader and from high-stakes moments like managing mass layoffs, leading succession planning, and rebuilding after his own layoff. We'll explore how storytelling functions like journaling: helping us reflect, learn, and map out better futures in an uncertain world.


This episode is essential listening for leaders rethinking their professional identity, managing career transitions, or supporting others through change.

Or why it's hard to give good feedback successfully? If you've ever struggled with giving feedback that doesn't stick, managing teams that feel disconnected, or making decisions with incomplete information, this episode offers a mindset shift that transforms not just conversations, but organizational culture itself.

You've been there: a colleague asks for help, you offer your hard-won wisdom, and it lands like a lead balloon. They've already tried it. Or worse, they nod politely and do nothing. Or you offer mentorship to help a new team member or someone earlier in their career avoid the mistakes you made. You thought you were doing them a favor but instead, it felt unappreciated. The problem? You diagnosed and told before you understood.


Peter Schein—consultant, author, and collaborator with his late father, legendary MIT Professor Ed Schein—joins me to explore Humble Inquiry, a deceptively simple practice that transforms how leaders navigate complexity and improve organizational effectiveness. This isn't about active listening techniques you learned in your last training. It's about fundamentally shifting a culturally-embedded mindset from transactional, efficiency-focused exchanges to one that requires the art and attitude for greater human effectiveness.


We dive into why efficiency often sabotages effectiveness, how AI and remote work make this skill more critical than ever, and what types of conversations unlock breakthrough thinking.

It's a common challenge among all leaders a in this episode, we'll be learning about how to tackle this from a very unlikely and different perspective: someone who teaches frameworks to military leaders who manage geopolitical crises that can help you build a stronger workplace culture, lead through disruption, and stop feeling so reactive.

When disruption becomes the new normal, from AI upheaval to geopolitical instability to constant organizational change, it’s easy for leaders to lose sight of workplace culture and long-term strategy. In this episode, Dr. Jill Goldenziel brings an unexpected lens to understanding workplace leadership: lessons from teaching colonels, generals, and senior government officials as a full professor at the National Defense University. You’ll learn how to think like a strategist, how to build trust and calm in chaos and how to align people around purpose in times of change. She will also discuss why most leaders are thinking about AI wrong and what that means for workplace culture.


This conversation is for leaders who are tired of feeling reactive, who want to move from firefighting to strategic thinking, and who need practical tools to lead their teams through disruption without losing what makes leadership human.


She also she also shares her own leadership journey of getting promoted to be the only female full professor at Marine Corps University and being a civilian working in a male-dominated, leadership-focused organization, and teaching strategy to military and government leaders in the context of cyber, information, and disruptive tech like AI.

But what if the answer lies in between? In this episode, you'll learn about micro-adjustments: small, evidence-based shifts that help you lead through chaos without losing yourself. We're getting into ambiguous grief, organizational betrayal, and what kind of resilience mechanisms can help versus harm.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Most leaders right now are in survival mode and don't even realize it. What does it look like when you're no longer thriving but rather just enduring? What's the difference between resilience that sustains you and resilience that just helps you tolerate more damage? In this episode, we'll unpack what positive psychology offers leaders dealing with organizational upheaval, chronic stress, and betrayal. We'll discuss how to evaluate where you are on the surviving-to-thriving continuum, why micro-adjustments aren't about minimizing broken systems, and what actually sustains people versus what just delays their breaking point.

This conversation is for anyone who's been running on empty and wondering if there's another way. If you're barely holding it together and don't have time to fix it, start here. You'll walk away with one thing you can do tomorrow that won't add to your load.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Julie Fischer is a transformation coach, well-being consultant, and host of Nine to Thrive: The Well-Being Podcast. With 25+ years of corporate and nonprofit experience in sales, marketing, and fundraising, Julie's career took a dramatic turn when a family crisis forced her to rebuild her life from the ground up. That transformation ignited her coaching practice, where she now helps individuals, teams, and organizations move from survival to sustainable thriving through evidence-based tools rooted in applied positive psychology. She specializes in uncovering the unconscious narratives and limiting beliefs that keep high-performers stuck, then creating clarity and actionable strategies for lasting change.

Certified as an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and in Applied Positive Psychology through The Flourishing Center, Julie works with leaders navigating burnout, career transitions, work-life integration, and building resilience under pressure. She delivers corporate workshops, one-on-one coaching, group facilitation, and speaking engagements focused on well-being science, mindset shifts, leadership presence, and creating meaningful connection in work and life. Through her coaching and her podcast, Julie is on a mission to address what she calls the "un-well-being crisis"—helping people harness agency, shift from merely surviving to truly thriving, and meet their most audacious goals without losing themselves in the process.

What is the difference between the organizations that spend millions on technological advances that ultimately fail and those that can unlock unprecedented innovation? You'll learn the one thing that makes a difference in this episode.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

"WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Most companies are approaching AI completely backwards. We're going to talk about what actually breaks organizations when they adopt AI — and the human-centered approach that puts them back together. You'll hear how high-achievers in HR and organizational development are sabotaging their own AI initiatives by focusing on the technology instead of the people who use it. We unpack the emotional mechanics behind why leaders make costly AI decisions, and the critical thinking skills that separate successful adoption from expensive failure.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by AI's rapid evolution but couldn't name exactly what felt wrong about your approach, this episode will offer some insight from someone who's built a framework that flips traditional AI adoption on its head — putting human-centered design at the core of artificial intelligence strategy. Our guest shares the one mindset shift that separates organizations thriving with AI from those drowning in it. We're diving into the intersection of artificial intelligence and human-centered design, exploring why the future belongs to leaders who can balance automation with authentic human connection. Let's rethink your AI strategy.

You're still exhausted. What if the problem isn't that you need more coping strategies - but that your entire system is set up for failure?

This is the 4th and final of my Bonus 4-part Burnout series, talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a psychosocial perspective. 

In this episode, we're talking about when research-backed practices help, when they harm, and why small fixes can't solve systemic problems.

But sometimes it seems like every person you spend time lifting up depletes your capacity. How do you build organizational capacity without depleting your own or creating dependency on you?

For the next few episodes, I will be talking with you about taking a deeper dive in understanding burnout from a perspective I personally don’t hear enough of: the psychosocial drivers of burnout – what we as individuals bring to it, how social conditioning perpetuates it, and how organizational culture impacts it – and what we can do about it. 

In this episode we're talking about how sometimes the very strengths that make you an effective leader can become the source of your burnout. Those caretaking instincts that make you a great people developer? They can directly conflict with your strategic leadership responsibilities! This isPart 3 of my Bonus 4-part Burnout series.

This is a critical conversation about naming the grief, loss, healing, and transformation for inclusive leaders and experts—and what it takes to stand with and through change.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

How do we cope when decades of progress disappear overnight—and the work you dedicated your life to is suddenly illegal, unwelcome, or irrelevant? We're not just talking about inclusive leadership—we're exploring the emotional damage that nobody wants to admit is happening right now. You'll hear how even the most seasoned change agents are grappling with profound loss, identity crisis, and the question: "What now?" We unpack the grief cycle that inclusive leaders are experiencing as legal mandates strip away the very foundation of their expertise, and why processing this loss is essential to finding the way forward. If you've ever felt like the ground moved beneath your life's work, or if you're wondering how to lead when the rules keep changing—this episode holds a mirror up to that moment. Today we're interviewing someone who's witnessed inclusive leadership go from underground movement to corporate mandate to cultural battleground—and lived to tell the story of each transformation. Our guest shares what it means to grieve, separate the work from the vehicle, and why standing with change requires a radical act of presence, humility, and humanity.

It’s harder to look in the mirror and confront the bad boss staring back at you. In this episode, you'll discover how anyone can fall into the trap of becoming a bad boss—often without realizing it—as well as strategies managers and employees can use to make work more manageable.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

During the course of her career, top workplace strategist Mita Mallick has worked for a wide range of bad bosses:


The bad boss who fell asleep in meetings.

The bad boss who took credit for all her work.

The bad boss who once threw her designer shoe at Mita's colleague.

The bad boss who told her she was a rat and demanded loyalty.

The bad boss who told her she was overconfident and needed to stay in her lane.

The bad boss who gossiped about her to others and told her peers she didn’t really know what she was doing.

The bad boss who was so nice and so profoundly incompetent and as much as she wanted to, it was really hard to hate him.


In this episode, we'll explore a few of the many ways bosses can create an unhealthy workplace and disengagement, how any one of us could be susceptible to becoming one of those bad bosses for someone else, and how we can manage and mitigate against this.

We unpack the legal, cultural, and human cost—and how leaders can protect psychological safety.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Imagine discovering that the same workplace tech meant to make your job easier is quietly dismantling trust, blurring boundaries, and draining morale. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we pull back the curtain on how tools like productivity trackers, AI decision-making, and remote monitoring reshape not just workflows—but the culture, safety, and well-being of entire teams. You’ll hear how leaders face a growing legal and ethical duty of care in tech-integrated workplaces, and what it takes to meet that responsibility in real terms—not just policy statements. We explore the blind spots that make even well-intentioned technology harmful, the risks that can spiral into legal exposure, and the choices that can either protect or undermine psychological safety.


If you’ve ever wondered whether the systems you’ve built are quietly shaping a culture you didn’t intend, start here. This isn’t theory—it’s a deep, unflinching look at the human side of workplace tech.

This episode reveals the 11 risks that can derail even the most promising careers.


Leadership failure rates remain shockingly high—studies show that 50% to 75% of leaders are ineffective. Why? Because their hidden personality-based risk factors are quietly sabotaging performance, communication, and team results. Most leaders don’t even know these risks exist, let alone how to manage them. In this episode, we’ll uncover what’s really behind poor leadership—beyond skills or knowledge—and explore a breakthrough approach to improving leadership effectiveness at every level. You’ll learn why traditional development falls short, how to recognize your own derailers, and what leaders must do differently to succeed. It’s time to stop tolerating mediocre leadership and start raising the bar—with data, accountability, and coaching that goes beneath the surface.

Imagine this: You’re confident in your skills, respected for your expertise—and yet, under pressure, something subtle starts eroding your impact. Missteps you can’t quite explain. Tension in conversations you thought you handled well. That’s not bad luck—it’s likely your personality-based risk factors at work. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we go beneath the surface of leadership. You’ll hear why half of leaders fail—not because they lack ambition or know-how, but because of how their hidden derailers quietly sabotaged their performance, relationships, and results. We unpack the 11 risks that can wreck even the strongest careers, how to recognize them in yourself and others, and what to do to stop them before they stop you. At the end, our guest will offer a free eBook so you can start your own self-awareness journey!

What if tension isn’t a threat—but the key to breakthrough thinking and faster decisions? What if the conflict you’re avoiding is the conversation your team desperately needs?


In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why the conflicts they're avoiding are actually the breakthrough conversations their organizations desperately need

- Why "keeping the peace" during rapid change leads to slower decisions, missed opportunities, and eventual explosions

- A practical framework for distinguishing between destructive drama and productive friction that accelerates results

- How to transform exhausted, resistant teams into engaged problem-solvers who thrive on complexity during rapid change

We’re not just talking about friction—we’re reframing it. This episode invites you to rethink everything you’ve been taught about conflict in leadership. Most high-achievers believe that success comes from maintaining control, smoothing over disagreements, and keeping the peace. But what if that’s exactly what’s holding your team back?


In this raw and real conversation, we dig into how avoiding tension delays progress, waters down innovation, and breeds quiet resistance that shows up when it matters most. You'll learn how to move from suppression to strategic friction—where tough conversations fuel creativity, unlock alignment, and accelerate results.


This episode is a mirror for leaders who feel stuck in endless consensus-building or exhausted by invisible resistance. It’s a wake-up call for those who fear conflict but crave momentum. If you’ve ever wondered why your smartest teams still stall out, this one’s for you.


You’ll walk away with:

- A blueprint for productive conflict that accelerates change

- New language for managing competing priorities under pressure

- Real-world stories of what actually works when the stakes are high

If you’re ready to stop walking on eggshells and start leading with clarity—press play.

Tune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

]]> <p><strong>WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN? </strong></p><p><strong>What if tension isn’t a threat—but the key to breakthrough thinking and faster decisions? What if the conflict you’re avoiding is the conversation your team desperately needs?</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, you’ll learn:</strong></p><p><strong>- Why the conflicts they&#39;re avoiding are actually the breakthrough conversations their organizations desperately need</strong></p><p><strong>- Why &#34;keeping the peace&#34; during rapid change leads to slower decisions, missed opportunities, and eventual explosions</strong></p><p><strong>- A practical framework for distinguishing between destructive drama and productive friction that accelerates results</strong></p><p><strong>- How to transform exhausted, resistant teams into engaged problem-solvers who thrive on complexity during rapid change</strong></p><p><strong>We’re not just talking about friction—we’re reframing it. This episode invites you to rethink everything you’ve been taught about conflict in leadership. Most high-achievers believe that success comes from maintaining control, smoothing over disagreements, and keeping the peace. But what if that’s exactly what’s holding your team back?</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this raw and real conversation, we dig into how avoiding tension delays progress, waters down innovation, and breeds quiet resistance that shows up when it matters most. You&#39;ll learn how to move from suppression to strategic friction—where tough conversations fuel creativity, unlock alignment, and accelerate results.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>This episode is a mirror for leaders who feel stuck in endless consensus-building or exhausted by invisible resistance. It’s a wake-up call for those who fear conflict but crave momentum. If you’ve ever wondered why your smartest teams still stall out, this one’s for you.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>You’ll walk away with:</strong></p><p><strong>- A blueprint for productive conflict that accelerates change</strong></p><p><strong>- New language for managing competing priorities under pressure</strong></p><p><strong>- Real-world stories of what actually works when the stakes are high</strong></p><p><strong>If you’re ready to stop walking on eggshells and start leading with clarity—press play.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>***</strong></p><p><strong>ABOUT OUR GUEST:</strong></p><p><strong>Alexandra Prassas is an Organizational Effectiveness leader with 20+ years in the People &amp; Culture space.

It’s not riches, it’s impact and legacy.  In this episode, you will learn how you can quantify mentoring, volunteering, and philanthropy so you can better understand how much impact you make every day, how to build and leave a rewarding legacy, and how to create a highly generative life. 

We all want to have impact, whether it is at work, at home, or in our communities. And while we are striving to make an impact, we might not even realize the impact we're already making! There is a way to find out about our impact and just how deep our footprint is by understanding mentorship, legacy, and generativity. We'll also unpack the emotional science behind mentorship—and how to give, find, and recognize it when it’s real. If you’ve ever craved guidance but didn’t know how to ask… or if you’ve been called a mentor without knowing what that really meant… this conversation will name what’s been missing.

Tune in for an honest, inspiring, and research-backed conversation that might just change your perspectives on sports, yourself, and leadership.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

In this episode, Dr. Erianne Weight joins us to examine the leadership pipeline in sport—from the foundational levels of youth coaching to the high-stakes environments of college and professional athletics. We explore the systemic flaws that limit both athlete and coach development, and how these challenges reflect broader issues in leadership and education. As Dr. Weight puts it, "If we truly want to develop leaders and experts—not just in sport, but in life—we have to stop treating sport like a sideshow and start recognizing it as a core part of education." Dr. Weight will describe how sport and education should go hand-in-hand and how it can be a powerful vehicle for developing expertise, identity, and leadership capacity. This conversation is for anyone interested in personal growth, organizational change, or rethinking the role of sport in society.

Vincent What We Overlook When Measuring Organizational Success, with Dr. Mark L. Vincent Dr. Mira Brancu What if the way your organization measures success is quietly setting you up to fail? What if you've been measuring the wrong things to meet a strategic outcome. This episode unpacks how avoiding failure—not just chasing wins—might be the smarter strategic move, and a smart farmework for how to do it. 

We’re not just challenging metrics—we’re rethinking meaning. In this conversation with Mark L. Vincent, we explore what organizations don’t measure, why qualitative signals matter more than they seem, and how chasing only what’s easy to quantify can quietly corrode strategic progress.

You’ll hear how seasoned leaders fall into traps by overlooking process in favor of performance, and how shifting your lens to include failure-prevention and systems-level insight can transform how you lead. This isn’t another conversation about KPIs—it’s a deep dive into the hidden architecture of impact. If you’ve ever been part of a strategy that looked good on paper but broke down in practice, this episode will name what you felt but couldn’t quite explain.

This episode of The Hard Skills isn’t just about burnout or ambition — we’re exposing the invisible blocks that sabotage even the most successful women — and the real shifts that unlock creative power, self-trust, and meaningful momentum. If you’ve ever felt overqualified but undervalued, this one will hit home. 

You’ve got the title, the accolades, the resume. So why does it still feel like something’s missing? This isn’t imposter syndrome. It’s the result of trying to lead from a leadership and achievement model that was never built with you in mind. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we go beneath the surface of traditional success with former military officer and federal executive turned woman-centered leadership coach, Tina Parker — someone who led 70 all-male drill sergeants through the biggest training overhaul in Air Force history while navigating cancer, loss, motherhood, and reinvention. If you’ve ever been told to “just go for it” and wondered why that doesn’t work for you, Tina’s story — and her insights — will connect the dots.

You’ll learn:

- Why traditional success strategies leave women stuck or burned out

- The deeper reasons women undervalue their lived experience — and how to change it

- A practical path to move from reactive, hustle-based leadership to creative, aligned action

This episode cracks open the myth of busyness and builds a bold new definition of real productivity — one that actually holds up in today’s complex, chaotic work world. Because endurance in leadership isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters, for the long haul.

Imagine this: You’re checking every box, attending every meeting, and still wondering: Is any of this actually moving the needle? Or you are a manager or leader wondering, "Is this the best I can get out of my people? Are the performing at their highest levels? Are we efficient enough?" In this episode, we pull apart the illusion of productivity that keeps high-performing teams spinning and introduce a sharper, saner standard rooted in long-term impact. You’ll hear insights gained from a study of 30 senior leaders across industries who’ve worked with the most productive people and teams of their careers — and what they’ve learned about real, sustainable output. We explore why the old metrics are failing, what effective leaders do differently, and how to reset the conversation about work that actually matters. If you're ready to stop sprinting on autopilot and start leading with intention, hit play.


Emma Browning is a management consultant and founder of Paradox Consulting Partners, a woman--owned consulting company and Certified B Corporation that aligns talent strategy with business strategy to create high-performing, great places for all to work.

In this raw solo episode, Dr. Mira Brancu shares two very real, very different stories that led her to rethink how—and when—we speak up. If you've ever struggled to find the right words at the right time (or said nothing at all), this one’s for you.

In this candid and timely episode, Dr. Mira Brancu explores the complex dance between truth-telling and diplomacy in leadership and team dynamics. Prompted by a last-minute guest cancellation—and an emergency surgery of her own—Mira contrasts two real-life situations that raise important questions about responsibility, trust, and communication. She reflects on her personal journey from being celebrated for diplomacy to realizing its limits when it comes to confronting dysfunction. Drawing on research, client stories, and her own leadership path, Mira offers a framework for knowing when and how to speak up, including practical tools, reflection prompts, and sentence starters for navigating hard conversations without causing harm—or staying silent. Whether you lead teams or work within one, this episode helps you build the courage and skill to surface truth with clarity, care, and impact.

Dr. Mira Brancu, host of The Hard Skills, is a consulting and coaching psychologist who specializes in leadership identity development and building adaptive, high-performing teams. She is also an Associate Professor at Duke University, author of the Millennials Guide to Workplace Politics and companion workbook, and a Psychology Today columnist. Some of her specialties include working with leadership “misfits,” politics, upheaval, and transitions. Her award-winning social impact firm, Towerscope, empowers and elevates leaders and teams within disrupted and complex learning and innovation industries.

Nowack and Mashihi The Most Effective Performance Feedback Strategies, with Drs. Nowack and Mashihi Dr. Mira Brancu Providing performance feedback is one of the most challenging tasks leaders face. Feedback often sparks frustration and fear for both leaders and their teams. Why? Because there is a disconnect between what leaders think they are communicating and what employees receive. It's rooted in neuroscience and psychology research that we don't always apply effectively in the moment. 

EPISODE SUMMARY:

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

There are a lot of moving parts to provide effective feedback, including the content, valence, purpose of the message, the feedback recipient's characteristics, and the feedback provider's characteristics. In their new book, Performance Feedback Strategies, published by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), Drs. Nowack and Mashihi introduce a model of performance feedback coaching for leaders with structured exercises, techniques, and tips to help leaders become better performance coaches. After over a decade spent developing, testing, and refining their model with leaders around the world, they are now ready to share their four-part Performance Feedback Coaching Model, based on research in neuroscience and psychology, to help us all become better at providing performance feedback that is received well and translates into real behavior change.

How can we better prepare ourselves and our leaders when the moment arises? This is that episode. 

Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace. Drawing on actual experience and scholarship, GVV fills a long-standing critical gap in the development of values-centered leaders. It's not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively and successfully. In this episode we'll explore how to raise those odds.

She will explore differences between feeling empowered vs disempowered and then provide a 3-Part solution:


Part 1: Identifying How You Want To Show Up

- Includes five mechanisms: reflect, temper responsiveness, be present and steady, manage your energy, and practice self-care and compassion


Part 2: Communicating Clarity Even When You Don’t Have Clarity

- Clarity doesn’t mean certainty, nor does it mean perfection, and transparency doesn’t mean oversharing. We will provide examples for how to be clear and transparent even in the face of uncertainty or lack of personal clarity.


Part 3: Increasing Connection and Communication Opportunities to Maintain Morale

- How to counteract our current society’s increasing isolation, polarization, and degradation of interpersonal care.


Each of these build on each other to help you manage fear, uncertainty and anxiety and help others do the same.


Dr. Mira Brancu is a leadership consulting and coaching psychologist, founder of the Towerscope and Towerscope Leadership Academy, Associate Professor, Psychology Today columnist, author of the Millennials Guide to Workplace Politics and the associated recently published Workbook version, and had a leadership career before transitioning to helping teams and high-achieving women navigate their leadership complexities.

How do we, as leaders, help our employees navigate uncertainty and maintain morale when we ourselves are working through the same challenges? In this episode, listeners will gain insights around how to navigate the stress and overwhelm of the current national landscape, and importantly, how to communicate effectively with employees to maintain morale and gird resilience, even when you don't have all the answers. Listeners will also be provided with access to a free resource: a Tip Sheet for Communicating During Times of Uncertainty.

What if you could actually figure out what people want of you in a way that would help you become more successful professionally and in your personal life? The greatest challenge to that is how different each person's reality contributes to confusion, misunderstandings, conflict, and missed opportunities. In this episode, we'll learn how to break into those insights. 


In this episode, you'll have a chance to reflect on the influence of your values and drivers, and how to identify, tap into, and integrate those of others to create a more inclusive and robust depiction of our diverse reality, improve emotional intelligence, and become better and more effective at everything we choose to do.


We'll explore what societal norms have rewired us to sabotage our relationships, how to debunk some deeply-held notions and replace them with more appropriate and expansive ways of perspective adoption, and how to better understand ourselves and make ourselves and our own expectations better understood by others, while we stay open to better understanding them and theirs.

But why? What is the deeper reason behind this and how can leaders, especially those holding marginalized identities, attend to their own inner experiences to ultimately shape a more human-centered world? That's what Laura Phoenix will be sharing this in episode and we explore the the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

This episode explores the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health. Many leaders holding marginalized identities face multiple traumatic stressors in life that are often replicated in high-pressure work environments, and in a number of cases that can add up to invisible pressure that harms our wellbeing. We'll talk about how pressures to conform to dominant culture might show up unseen, how those might be felt, and how that feeling might lead us to lead more authentically or to leave organizational structures and leadership roles that perpetuate harm. We'll also discuss how boundary repair work and somatic healing methods can help leaders create healthier organizations or exist in less healthy organizations.

Truly bringing inclusion to life can sometimes feel quite challenging, especially when there seem to be forces pulling in many directions, and various inherent dilemmas involved in working with and across differences. In this episode, we will explore how to bring inclusion to life and how to understand and manage some of the paradoxes and tensions of inclusion. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Leading in a diverse organization can often feel very challenging, especially given some of the pulls and pushes these days related to DEI. What is involved in inclusive leadership geared toward helping oneself and others work well with our many differences and toward gaining the benefits of diversity? In this episode, we will discuss how to bring inclusion to life -- the essence of inclusive leadership, what makes it challenging, and how to manage the inevitable tensions involved in working with and across differences. Bringing inclusion to life involves being authentic and helping others do so, fostering more experiences of inclusion for more people, and behaving and leading inclusively. But inclusion is also difficult. We will discuss and unpack core dilemmas that are part and parcel of inclusion, including the tensions between fostering self-expression and requiring mutual adaption, between being flexible and open about boundaries and norms and keeping them stable and well-defined, and between increasing comfort and safety and leaving our comfort zones and taking more risks. Join us to learn more about the everyday work of inclusive leadership.

Why? What should we be doing differently? Discover why many well-meaning leaders are left scratching their heads as underrepresented talent slips through their fingers, and employees push back against diversity initiatives. In this eye-opening episode, we'll unravel the mystery behind failed DEI strategies and reveal the missing pieces of the inclusion puzzle. This isn't just another DEI discussion – it's your roadmap to meaningful, lasting change built on psychological science, with our guest expert today, Dr. Gena Cox.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

This episode will unlock the secrets to building a genuinely inclusive workplace with insights steeped in Industrial/Organizational psychology. You will discover a 3-point framework that cuts through the noise and become laser-focus on what truly moves the needle on organizational inclusion. We will move past the concept of "Respect" as a corporate buzzword and instead consider how it can be a powerful construct that can set your leadership apart in today's diverse business landscape.

You can easily find yourself having to make tough decisions about which projects to take on. Our guest, Rebekah Miel of Miel Creative, will share practical tips pulling from years of experience about how she has managed these experiences, lessons she has learned the hard way, what she learned about how to avoid the overwhelm, and how to make decisions that still align with your values. 

“In my younger years, I aspired to changing the world. Then reality kicked in, and I settled for 500 square feet.” - Betty Soskin, 102 year old, retired park ranger

In their career, Rebekah Miel has had the good fortune of being able to travel around the globe to hear the stories of frontline community members impacted by everything from climate change to natural disasters to harmful industry. As an empath and an impact-focused entrepreneur, it can be overwhelming. There are too many directions to go in. While it is a noble pursuit to want to change the world, it’s important to recognize that making an impact often starts with small, intentional acts close to home. 

Rebekah notes: "The question I find myself asking over and over is: how can I create change in my industry while staying true to my values? It’s not about the size of the impact I make, but the depth and authenticity of it. A common mistake I see is the belief that impact has to be massive to be meaningful. This often leads to burnout or a sense of inadequacy when the reality doesn’t meet the ideal. What I want people to understand is that focusing on smaller, manageable projects can often lead to more sustainable and genuine impact. True change is a collective effort, and sometimes the best thing we can do is inspire and empower others to take action alongside us. Other times the best thing is simply show up and listen." 

Rebekah Miel is that lone pair of headlights driving in the opposite direction during a hurricane evacuation. You’ll no longer find her sweating through a Tyvek suit in the lower 9th or eating curry in a refugee camp in Unawatuna, but that doesn’t mean she is any less risk-averse. These days she’s balancing the death-defying feat of raising pre-teen twins with the act of listening hard for how to be a good citizen in her adopted hometown of Durham, NC. Her current job title is Creative Director of her own creative shop, Miel Creative where she helps make beautiful sense out of a complex world for B corps, non-profits, and other purpose driven organizations.

Her current job title is Creative Director of her own creative shop, Miel Creative where she helps make beautiful sense out of a complex world for B corps, non-profits, and other purpose driven organizations. </span></p><p><span>https://mielcreative.com/</span></p><p><span>https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekahmiel/</span></p><p><strong>:#BCorp #BeTheChange #BeautifulSense #TheHardSkills #OrganizationalImpact</strong></p><p><strong>Tune in for this empowering conversation at </strong><a href="http://talkradionyc.msnd26.com/tracking/lc/55a823b6-3838-404f-b133-bd448f75a057/e39b8abf-4cb7-426c-827f-565623b8b2bd/f25fc686-2a52-46eb-9d50-40591187f976/" rel="nofollow"><strong>TalkRadio.nyc</strong></a></p> ef38266b-db98-4bf3-8f69-a2b1e931d699 https://redcircle.com/shows/f3fe96c1-ee1c-4854-8f8c-e881d3e477ab/episodes/3844f143-2298-41c9-ac2f-b6d826578fcd Tue, 17 Sep 2024 21:00:00 +0000 3644 no full Leadership Presence Preparation: Unlocking Joy and Impact Under Pressure with Christopher Rawden Leadership Presence Preparation: Unlocking Joy and Impact Under Pressure with Christopher Rawden Dr. Mira Brancu Do you get stage-fright, performance anxiety, or tongue tied whenever you need to deliver a presentation, whether on a large stage or even in a meeting?

This is unfortunately not uncommon in today's public cancel culture and polarized black-and-white society. In this episode, we unpack when it's toxic and when it's simply constructive feedback and how you can handle it. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

How do we distinguish toxicity from supportive critical feedback? What can people from marginalized underrepresented communities who are passionate about making a great impact do to avoid or address this situation in an empowering way? Is it possible to turn this into an empowering experience? We will learn how to maintain a healthy community culture that centers social justice without de-stabilizing its community members.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:


Kim A. Case, Ph.D. is a social psychologist and tenured Professor of Psychology, as well as affiliate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, at Virginia Commonwealth University. As a mixed-methods social psychologist, she applies critical theories to examine how social justice academics and underrepresented scholars contribute to intentional creation of inclusive spaces within workplace and educational settings. Currently, Dr. Case's research focuses on the systemic impact of workplace cultural mismatch on how social justice academics navigate job demands with particular attention to health, performance, and retention outcomes. Her research investigates how dominant cultural norms and applied practices result in exclusionary or inclusive experiences for scholars deeply involved in DEIA (diversity equity inclusion accessibility), for example, by invalidating or rewarding DEIA work in faculty promotion. Her national and international faculty development work (www.drkimcase.com) including her Enough Y’all podcast and consulting, focuses on support for social justice academics tackling topics such as job crafting, values alignment, invisible labor, self-worth in the academy, imposter feelings, and toxic people. On the fun side, Dr. Case can be described as a karaoke addict, working-class academic, Appalachian clogger, crocheter, kitty momma, and aspiring student of Spanish.

We often talk about self-care at a surface level. We have images of drinking latte's, taking baths, and silent retreats. But that is the full picture of self-care at work and for your leadership. How can you support true wellbeing at work? That's what we'll be delving into in this episode.

Well-being at work is more than yoga classes and mental health days. Our daily actions as leaders have an outsized impact on employee well-being. In this episode we'll explore how to care for yourself as a leader and how to lead employees towards well-being, using Taylor Elyse Morrison's CARE framework (Being communicative, aware, receptive + responsive, ecosystems thinkers).

ABOUT OUR GUEST:

Taylor Elyse Morrison turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. She’s the founder of Inner Workout, and the award-winning author of a book by the same name. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she makes well-being and personal development more accessible. You're just as likely to see Taylor facilitating a workshop at a Fortune 100 as you are to see her talking about TikTok and body image with a high school class. Wherever she goes, Taylor's sure to use her coaching, mindfulness, and movement training to meet people where they're at and offer actionable steps towards creating a world without burnout.

We will be celebrating what we learned from 1 year of hosting a live radio show and podcast, looking back at some of the highlights, and also sharing specific data on a group coaching program that follows the framework that our seasons have been focusing on this past year: Navigating Uncertainty, Developing Leadership Identity, Mapping a Strategy, Navigating Complexity, and Making a Greater Impact. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:


How do you make an impact on leadership development in a large healthcare system where people generally work in siloes? How can you help clinical and academic leaders feel more prepared and more supported to create organizational change and lead in times of uncertainty? 


We will review our proprietary research-based 5-stage Strategic Leadership Pathway model and the results from a program evaluation study of this model conducted at Duke University and presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting.


We'll explore questions such as:

1. What might be the impetus for starting a group coaching program within academic healthcare - what was the need identified and why group coaching?

2. What can you expect to gain from such a program and what are the implications?

3. What impact could this kind of program potentially serve in highly complex academic medicine and healthcare environments in supporting leaders in those environments. 


And we'll also celebrate 50 episodes and 1 year of doing this radio show!

As we navigate the workplace, this flexibility can be helpful, except when it causes us to lose touch with our truer selves or deprives us of our deepest connections. We may be so responsive to others that we lose what makes us special. On the other hand, we may protect our identities so fiercely that we close ourselves off to the potentially positive influences of others. Based on personal and professional experience as psychologist in federal corrections, Dr. Lyn will help us learn how to identify and embrace our unique combination of life experience and world view and use them to connect with others, express our individuality, and manage seemingly conflicting roles. 

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Based on the experiences of a unlikely leader in federal corrections, listeners will be inspired to embrace the complexity of their identities and create ways to fit in, stand out, and make peace with seemingly conflicting roles in their own challenging work environments.

Listeners will learn a new way to think about managing up, including how to safely navigate through the political landscape at work.

But do we have to take responsibility for them all? Can we instead be responsive? In this episode you will learn the guiding principles of Responsive Leadership. This includes the seven core values and seven essential skills to approach leadership through a stance of being Responsive TO rather than taking Responsibility FOR in your work.

We will discuss the ways in which many of the pressures of work are often framed from an assumption that we have to take responsibility for expectations that are placed on us, when we are more likely to be effective when we can be responsive to the expectations instead. 

We'll talk about the importance of Clarity Skills, which are tools to help leaders create Role Clarity, Systems Clarity, and Communication Clarity. Additionally, we'll spend some time talking about how Dr. Callandrillo came to create this model after working in an industry with high levels of stress and expectations from leaders, particularly middle managers. Finally, we will go over ways that listeners can apply these ideas to their own work or with their own teams.

Dr. Traci Callandrillo is an expert in Responsive Leadership with over 25 years of experience leading diverse teams. She has worked in higher education administration and healthcare, and led a large student services team through their pandemic response, supporting more than 15k students. Traci has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and is a former VP for Professional Practice for the Society of Counseling Psychology. She is the owner and chief consultant at the Callandrillo Consulting Group and is working on a book focused on her leadership framework, Responsive Leadership.

Do you ever feel like, “I don’t even know where to start!” Like you have so many different paths you can take, you’ve gotten so much advice, but now you are left feeling overwhelmed with which path is right? Well, this might be the right episode to help you gain some clarity around where to start. Leaders need to spend time develop the right strategy to navigate the complexities of internal and external personal factors required for leadership success. And our guest today will bring a different take - how business owners in particular can develop the right strategy to navigate the complexities of business development and growth. Together we'll explore the overlap between how she thinks about business development strategy with how I think about leadership strategy when it comes to decision-making and actions for success. Michelle Warner designs tiny companies that are built for the long run. With an MBA from one of the world’s top business schools and 15+ years growing small businesses, Michelle knows how to figure out what’s wrong and get it fixed when you hit a revenue plateau, and how to stabilize your business when you’re growing too fast and can’t keep up. She’s also the creator of Networking That Pays, the introvert-friendly, always awkward-free connection system that brings in reliable leads, consistent referrals and meaningful connections for your business in just one message a day.

That’s not the case, and we’ve all met the people that we wish would be a little bit *less* authentic. Listeners to this episode will be invited to consider:

1.        What authenticity actually is (and is not)

2.        That being authentic is a form of privilege (we don’t all have equal access!)

3.        That authenticity is important if and only if authenticity is important to you (values matter). 

4.        If authenticity is important, how it can be harnessed and utilized at every point in the career journey. 

Authenticity is a current buzzword and authentic leadership is an exploding topic of interest. But do we really understand what it means? Is it something we should all pursue? Do all people have equal and equitable access to pursuing it? This episode pulls listeners back from the ‘authenticity as panacea’ mindset and takes the construct on a DeLorean ride back to its philosophical, sociological, and psychological roots. We’ll spend time exploring whether authenticity is universally important for leaders (or just for leaders that find authenticity important), consider nuanced ways about what authenticity might mean for and to you, and finally, in cases where authenticity does matter, give thought to how to strategically map out a dynamic and authentic career from start point to end point (spoiler alert: life audits required). 

Dr. Alexis Franzese is the Department Chair and an Associate Professor for the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Elon University, and a licensed psychologist with a small private practice. With academic training in the fields of sociology and psychology, her teaching and research interests are at the intersection of these fields and her main area of expertise is within issues of self, identity, and well-being.  She is especially passionate about her study of authenticity- being one’s true self and is currently conducting research on authenticity and identity within travel and tourism, with Disney as a strategic domain of focus. Her work has been published within edited volumes and other peer-reviewed collections, including journals that span the breadth of her scholarly interests. She is a graduate of Union College (B.A.) and Duke University where she completed two separate doctoral degrees, in sociology and in psychology (clinical).  She loves debating the ethics of authenticity and tries to incorporate her knowledge into her own approach and adventures.

How do I hone this? Our guest Nancy Parsons will share her insights on this question along with assessment and data-based ideas for mapping a strategy for effective development.

Deep self-awareness is critical to mapping an effective strategy for development and performance improvement.  Research shows that leaders tend to lack the clarity and personal objectivity needed to recognize, build upon, or leverage their inherent character talent, gifts and acumen; while understanding, managing and neutralizing their risks and short sides. This means that leaders spend a lot of time trying to develop the wrong things or have difficulty honing in on what matters most. In fact, an HBR study (Eurich, 2018) of 5000 participants found that while most people think of themselves as self-aware, only 10 to 15% actually are!  Nancy Parsons will share insights and stories of how accurate self-awareness leads to breakthrough success and fulfillment.

Nancy Parsons is one of today’s foremost experts in combining the science of assessments with the art of developing people. She co-founded CDR Companies, LLC and developed the break-through CDR 3-Dimensional Assessment Suite® an in-depth coaching tool used by global clients. The Suite measures:  character traits, inherent risk factors for derailment, and drivers and rewards.  In 2020, Nancy and her team launched CDR-U Coach, the first of its kind digital avatar coach providing individualized feedback and development for all employees. In 2022, CDR-U Coach was awarded the international Gold Star Winner of the “Best New Product” by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business.

We talk with a lawyer who has a passion for intellectual property to get a unique perspective on this.

We hear about branding and intellectual property protection as methods to developing and protecting our work and reputation. But we don't often think about how they connect to a leadership identity or transform us and others.

Her mission is to build a world where women at the highest levels of leadership and success are so common it's no longer noteworthy.

This is a new way to think about the alignment of inner change and social change. You will be invited to recognize that empathetic and emotionally intelligent leaders have first built bridges in their inner worlds. We will explore example of leaders who show up in wholeness, revealing how they build the capacity to celebrate societies polarizing forces as dialectical challenges and optimize the fertility of diverse ecosystems with centeredness and connection.

How can storytelling, authentic relating, and inductive growth-work help leaders and teams use polarities as a strategy to unleash unrivaled creative advantages? How do we subconsciously conform in ways that inhibit leadership capacity? In relationships and leadership styles, our emotional intelligence, empathy, and capacity to be effective is limited by the extent to which we unconsciously allow social roles to govern our dynamics. Once we unpack these conformities, we begin to relate with our unique identity differently. This doesn’t mean we give up what makes us unique, it simply means we begin to relate with ourselves differently. This is the pathway to personal liberation that unlocks profound leadership capacities while simultaneously transforming social issues. 


Gareth Gwyn is the author of the book “You Are Us: How to Build Bridges in a Polarized World.” The 13 stories in the book are from the perspective of 13 people who are radically different but are also unified by having done the work of inner reckoning with their trauma, pain, and socialized identity. Through the vulnerable illumination of each story, we learn how inner work translates into liberated leadership that serves community, workplace, and ultimately societal transformation. She is the founder of Let’s See Labs, a think tank that is the leading advocate for the radical notion that polarity is a creative engine in organizations. This work recognizes that our differences in identity are highly compatible, and can be a source of connection rather than conflict.

]]> <p><span>Practical tips and suggestions for making leadership role transitions during uncertain or turbulent times; e.g., how can a technically oriented manager of individual contributors (ICs) shift from leading a team of other managers when an organization is restructuring and culture is evolving? How can a subject matter expert (SME) become a Team Lead when their manager leaves with a mess to clean up? Dr. Mockler will pull from her years of experience coaching leaders and her organizational psychology expertise to share advice and common ways she&#39;s helped them navigate through these challenges.</span></p><p>In this episode, we will discuss the topic of navigating leadership role changes during uncertain times. Dr. Stefanie Mockler will share (anonymous) stories from the front lines of her coaching work where she has supported leaders going from (1) subject matter expert (SME) to people leader, (2) Managing a small team to leading other managers, and (3) Specialized technical lead to a generalist needing to drive results through other experts. All while navigating incredible amounts of disruption, uncertainty, and change. We&#39;ll discuss tactical strategies and advice for how to navigate these situations while keeping your identity, values, and honestly - sanity - intact!

We will identify several unhelpful societal messages that hold leaders back from leading as successfully through uncertainty. We will consider ways leaders can extract themselves from falling trap to those unhelpful messages and what they can do instead to meet the needs of today's worforce, especially when leading through uncertainty.

Dr. Patti Weiter is a dynamic executive coach who aims to create and sustain work environments that maximize human potential. Patti integrates her training as a Clinical Health Psychologist into her consulting approach by expertly blending the biological, psychological, and social aspects of leader and organizational behavior to drive change and sustainable results. Her passion for positive leadership is grounded in well-being science. She is the President of the Kentucky Psychological Association, a Professional Affiliate for the University of Louisville Center for Positive Leadership, and Owner of Shine Psychology. Patti has three young daughters, and finds meaning in coaching other working moms navigate alignment in their career and home life. 

In this episode, we will talk about some expectations leaders place upon themselves, based in schemas handed down about leadership, and will tease out whether those messages fit today's work landscape. For example, some of the unhelpful messages might be that a leader is in charge, controls the direction of the organization, and knows what to do next (like steering a large ship). In taking a more humble approach, a leader can recognize their strengths and fallibilities. They can uplift the team of experts around them to respond to the uncertain future by nurturing social connection, creativity, and a sense of belonging (which is more helpful in a whitewater rafting environment like we are in today). This can only happen if the leader first understands how societal messages have shaped their perspective and how to adjust for the needs of today's workforce.

Welcome to “The Hard Skills” radio show and podcast, a practical and research-driven show that explores the core leadership skills needed to fuel leadership to activate real change, such as creating inclusive and healthy workplaces. In this inaugural episode, your host, Dr. Mira Brancu will take you back to her early childhood years after she immigrated to the US as a refugee, what that taught her about leadership identity development, and how that led her down the path of developmental, clinical, and organizational psychology to develop her current thinking about how to help leaders move from the hard technical skills they needed to become subject matter experts in their field, to the new set of skills required to serve in leadership roles. Some call those "soft skills," but we all know they aren’t that soft or easy. That’s why we call it like it really is: The Hard Skills. 

She then shares her 5-stage leadership identity development framework, the questions she'll tackle with expert guests and leaders on the show, and get you ready to start thinking deeply about Season 1's topic: Facing Uncertainty as a Leader.
