Leo & Randy On Fear

America is now slowly opening back up from the coronavirus pandemic. The past 6 weeks or so have provoked fear and uncertainty all over the planet. From school teachers to corporate leaders, from local city government leaders to factory workers, we’re all fearful about the present and the future. How long will this last? What will things look like once our lives resume to something more like our past normal? We have more questions than answers. Time like these can help us better understand the value of peers and others – people who can help us see things more clearly as together we try to figure out ways to build our brightest future.

Leo & Randy On Virtual Meetings

Virtual meetings have become the norm during the coronavirus pandemic, as every industry and organization has been disrupted.  While most of us are becoming more proficient at participating in virtual meetings, presenting at virtual meetings, especially during a pandemic, is just not the same as presenting in person.  Seminar leaders, content presenters, and others are likely having to make some major adjustments in order to create and maintain high engagement using video conferencing platforms.

Leo & Randy On Coronavirus

Covid19 has created a level of global uncertainty that cuts to the heart of our collective humanity.  It seems like yesterday people were enjoying a great start to the new year.  Today, many are now wondering if they’ll survive – economically or physically.  Such a seismic shift in market, physical and emotional conditions is rocking the very foundation of our society.

Who you surround yourself matters. Especially now. As we distance socially from physical contact, it’s more important than ever that we remain connected.  We’ll get through this, but it will take all of us working together to make that happen.  Today, we talk about the importance and value of doing so.

For ideas on how you can lean on your peers and serve them at the same time, listen to our podcast.  If you have questions or ideas for us, contact us today.

Leo & Randy On Trial & Error

Leo kicks off today’s discussion with a phrase that speaks to what inhibits too many of us from taking meaningful action – psychological safety. Quite simply, we’re afraid. The result? Inaction.

The highest achievers lean into doing things and figuring it out as they go. It’s largely trial and error activity unbothered by imperfection.

Leo & Randy On Truth To Power

Leo published an article at CEOWORLD last May (2019) about speaking truth to power. He approached it from the vantage point of both the leader (CEO) and those who report to the leader (employees).

Mark Twain said, “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.” However, Leo and Randy maintain we’re all worthy of it. Speaking the truth to power isn’t always easy, but there’s value in pursuing the ideal. Today, Leo and Randy discuss the main points of the CEOWorld article (see the links below).

Leo & Randy On Challenge (Season 2020, Episode 5)

“Don’t limit your challenges; challenge your limits.”   ― Jerry Dunn

Jerry Dunn was known as the “Marathon Man” because in the year 2000 he ran 200 marathons. His quote speaks to this episode of the What Anyone Can Do Podcast – the high value derived when others will caringly challenge us to help us achieve more. Specifically, sometimes it’s about helping people achieve exactly what they say they want. High-performing teams and groups are able to openly and safely challenge each other for ongoing improvement and growth.
