- In every daring leader is the ability to rumble with vulnerability. ]]> 2022-03-16 14:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2098111914 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2099258974 - Conversations about perfectionism within trusting and brave teams can be healing and powerful. 
- The goal is to get very clear on where, as a team, you will most likely get swallowed by perfectionism. 
- Acknowledge any red flags, warning signs, or any indicators that the team as a whole can take responsibility for spotting in the future. ]]> 2022-03-17 03:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2099258974 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2099267005 - Gratitude is not just an attitude that you have, it's a practice that you put into place. 
- Practicing gratitude helps people to stay in the moment and feel proud of the work that they did. 
- Showing people recognition for the things that they did can increase employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention of employees. 
- Being able to celebrate what the company or an individual has done allows for joy to be had instead of having the fear of "celebrating too soon" come in and steal it. ]]> 2022-03-17 03:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2099267005 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100557466 - Resentment is almost always related to a lack of boundaries 
- Resentment can lead to numbing which is detrimental to the well-being of someone which will ultimately affect their work. 
- The cure for numbing is developing tools and practices that allow you to lean into discomfort and renew your spirit. 
- When you start to feel that edge of discomfort, ask yourself, "What are these feelings and where are they coming from?"
- Figure out what brings you real comfort and renewal, not just numbing. 
- The key to figuring out what is true renewal is to look at the motive behind what you are doing. If it is for something unhealthy, you may consider taking a different approach. ]]> 2022-03-17 17:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100557466 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100560380 - Integration is the act of bringing together all the parts of ourselves. 
- Having a strong back looks like having grounded confidence in yourself and boundaries. 
- Having a soft front is staying vulnerable and curious. 
- Having a wild heart means not living out of the either/or paradoxes in our lives. It means to show up in our vulnerability and our courage. 
- Being integrated with oneself helps bring the full person to the work place and allows them to contribute all of their ideas and unique perspectives. ]]> 2022-03-17 17:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100560380 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100586749 - They key is transform from "always knowing" to "always learning".
- There are three stages to encourage this change. 
1. Name the issue. 
     - Being clear is kind. 
     - Knowers often have a lot of people talking behind their back, and that is unkind. 
      - Gently lay out the problem that you are having and come along side them. 

2. Make learning curiosity skills a priority
      - Create a space where questions can be asked 
      - Encourage the "knower" to stay curious 

3. Acknowledge and reward great questions.  
      - Encourage the answer of "I don't know" 
      - This encouragement will help the individual shift from wanting to "be right" to wanting "to get it right". ]]> 2022-03-17 18:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100586749 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100608326 - The antidote to sarcasm and cynicism comes in three parts. 
1. Staying clear is kind
2. Practicing the courage to say what you mean and mean what you say. 
     - Cynicism and sarcasm often mask anger, fear, feelings of inadequacy, and even despair. 
     - Sarcasm is an easy way for us to share our emotions through a trial. They test how the person will react, and based on their reaction we can pass it off as a joke or not. 
     - Most of the time it ends with making one or the other feel stupid and confused. 
     - Saying what you mean is a way to avoid miscommunication or hurt in a relationship. 
3. If despair is driving the sarcasm or cynicism, then the opposite of that is hope. 
- This is the understanding that clinging onto hope does not make someone a sucker, and it can help uncover some of the hurt that the person may actually be covering up with their behavior. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100608326 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100609443 - If you are leading a team where criticism is portrayed more often than contribution, you may need to rethink what you are rewarding. 
- A good guideline to put in place may look like having people being able to share a criticism, but they have to share an alternative point of view in return.  
- If everyone comes to a meeting knowing that they are going to need to share a point of view, this supercharges contribution. 
- If there is more contribution, that creates an even better atmosphere for vulnerability, creativity, and trust to be built. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100609443 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100646243 - These three pathways of power in a company allow for team members to maintain their own agency and recognize their own source of power in a way that leads to the greatest good. 

1. Power with: 
     - This has to do with finding common ground among different interests in order to build collective strength. 
     - This is based on mutual support, solidarity, collaboration, and recognition and respect for differences. 

2. Power To: 
     - This is where everyone on the team understands their unique potential and have the agency on how it is best used. 
     - It is based on the idea that every individual has the power to make a difference. 
     - This can be multiplied into new skills, knowledge, awareness, and confidence. 

3. Power Within: 
     - This is the ability to recognize differences and respect others. 
     - It is grounded in the foundation of self-worth and self-knowledge. 
     - When someone operates from this power-within, there is a comfortability with addressing assumptions and long-held beliefs that may be wrong. 
- One can start to push against the status quo, and ask questions about if there are any better ways to do something. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100646243 kroseburrough1 https://padlet.com/kroseburrough1/a50apmopzufmv3r6/wish/2100648700 Brown, B.
