You can read Brock’s full blog here.

Listening is a skill — possibly the most important skill a leader can have. Yet just because you listen doesn’t mean you are necessarily listening actively in a way that promotes meaningful dialogue.

In today’s mini episode, Janice and Michelle discuss three different ways to listen.

Our free resource is a tip sheet on  3 Powerful Ways Leaders Listen and we challenge you over the course of the next 7 days to try and stay in levels 2 and 3 as much as possible.

A Report from the Front Lines: Leading through Relentless Times

May 18, 2022 by Marc Cowell

As 2021 ended, from my desk in the Executive Director office of a family resource center in Longmont, Colorado, I found myself feeling optimistic that the beginning of a new year would bring about a respite from all the stress and hardship that was created by the pandemic. After all, we did have reason for hope.

We all face scarcity in our daily lives, whether goods, money, or time. However, we don’t have to have it as a mindset. Today David and Margaret tackle the scarcity mindset, which loves to play tricks on the mind.

David and Margaret offer you the generosity challenge: for the next two weeks, step into financial and emotional generosity EVERY DAY.  Each day, put your change (or even a dollar!) into the tip jar, the collection jar, a hand that needs it…AND, pause to acknowledge another human, to tell them something that is beautiful about them or something they’ve done well or skillfully or a place you know they’ve tried their best, regardless of the outcome. Feel free to email us and let us know how it went.
