This week on the podcast, we're back to answering fan letters! And this letter is from a person who is in a complex, goal-oriented team that is frustrated by "unattainable" goals set by their boss, indicating that the team is also frustrated and unmotivated as a result. Said boss is also resistant to feedback and a poor communicator. Alex and I are going to deconstruct this letter and see if we can get down the facts!

Things we'll cover:

A live edit your story exercise
The difference between leading with sympathy vs. empathy
Shifting energy from "why we can't" to "how we could"
Questioning what you know to be true, and more!

So often in the workplace and elsewhere, I see folks quick to judge the ways of younger generations (especially if that younger person is your boss or leader!). And conversely, I see younger folks judging older generations.

Rather than judging or critiquing or getting righteous, what if we could embrace what the other generations have to bring to the table and have the courage to look honestly at what skills we need to work on?

Here's my secret to bridging the gap between generations.

Dear Cy, I'm not the problem, they are!

This week on the podcast, we're diving into two fan letters where the ego really wants to take hold and be right.

One letter deals with trying to get a co-worker to change their victim behaviors, lack of accountability and unwillingness to get on board.
The second letter asks how they can deal with a new manager that is less experienced than they are.

Tons of juicy content in this episode that you can't miss!

You hear me talk a lot about the ego as a main source of drama at work - and it is the #1 source, coming in at 32% of drama, according to my research. But did you know that my research revealed 4 other sources of drama that we all experience in the workplace?

In this 12-minute video, I briefly explain each of the 5 major sources of drama. It's a great overview to share with your team or leaders!

Working with your teams to remove each of these sources of drama will be the #1 thing you can do this year to increase results individually and as a team.

Podcast: How to be happier and more successful at work

On the podcast this week, I'm doing a little something special. I'm sharing a full keynote that will help you understand the why behind your stress and frustration at work, or why you don't get the results that you want.

I also share the tools and techniques you can use immediately at work or at home. No matter if you are a leader or an individual contributor, this episode will help you find greater peace, happiness, and success in life.

Good morning,

Recently gratitude has been our minds, even when it feels like there is a great deal to be upset about. In one of our recent team meetings, Cy said:

"If it is difficult to be grateful FOR what's happening in the moment, you can still be grateful IN the moment that is happening."

As a company, we''ve been sitting with this specific reflection as well as all of the amazing ideas covered in this recent podcast episode.

This subtle shift is the first step to experiencing gratitude from a higher perspective.

Want to learn a transformative approach to gratitude? It is just one of the many practices that Cy will cover in the new Life's Messy, Live Happy Group kicking off in October.

THE LIFE''S MESSY, LIVE HAPPY GROUP

This year-long experience will give you exclusive access to Cy as your personal teacher covering practices (like gratitude) that will completely transform how you live and how you lead. Get your spot today.

So, what''s in it for you?

If Cy or this testimonial doesn''t have you ready to join us, let''s think about this: 2.5 hours per day are spent in drama per person. That''s 600 hours a year where you are continuing to navigate the chaos of life with a less than modern skillset.

We''re talking lost time that could be used for things you may not remember like: naps, hobbies, vacations (or not talking about work while on vacation), Netflix binges, and actually spending time with your loved ones.

Sound too good to be true? The simple leadership tool below is one of many you will learn to quickly reduce drama by the end of our day together.

You''re one step away...

It is time to invest in yourself and your team''s happiness. Better results, more peace, and more sanity at work is as simple as getting your tickets below!

I have an important topic to cover this week that I think many are experiencing right now or have at some point during this pandemic: anxiety.

Most of us tend to blow right by anxiety and right into numbing behaviors, denying those feelings or avoiding the work to process it.

In this week''s podcast, I ask you to notice where anxiety has showed up in your life right now. Then, I share how to better understand your anxiety and work through it.

This week on the podcast, we''re back to answering "Dear Cy" letters, and I think you''re going to love this week''s topic: Burnout.

This is a big topic right now, especially for healthcare folks, but it''s something we can all experience at any time regardless of our role or industry.

We''re going to dive into handling burnout from a management standpoint, as well as managing your own wellbeing and self-care. I''m also going to explain something I call the energy cycle and why unplugging is not always the solution!

Watch now on YouTube or listen on the No Ego Podcast.

We are processing so many emotions right now in this pandemic.. "I have too much time." "I don't have enough time!" "I'm not feeling productive." "I'm feeling anxious." "This isn't the time to live like I'm on fire." "I'm finding what's most important to me in life." "I''m overwhelmed."

Allow yourself to feel your emotions, welcome them in. AND... remember, our ego wants certainty over accuracy, so it''s not going to edit your thoughts for the truth. We have to actively edit our stories.

Going on Facebook LIVE over the last week has given me the chance to not only connect with you in an amazing, new way, but to offer my guidance on how to process all of these emotions.

It''s like one big therapy session for all of us!

I trust that if you''re one of my fans, you are heartbroken about the events of the past week. I know that I certainly am not only heartbroken for what has happened this week, but also for what my friends and colleagues have been enduring for a lifetime due to the racism in our country, in our communities, in our hearts and even in their own lives.

While the murder of George Floyd (and so many others before him) is a horrendous act, we can now see that it isn''t an outlier. It''s a horrifying example of a reality that has been normalized.

Our favorite "Cyism" this week...

As you take a look at the gratitude list you''ve created for your day and greet things that come into your life, welcome them WITHOUT judgment or naming them. My mother often said, "It''s all okay in the end, or it''s not the end."

As we live with this new reality during a crisis, it''s important to get out of the victim mindset and into being the co-author with the universe.The first step to evolving your mindset is to remove judgement, preference, or attachment to ''what is'' and to stop allowing your ego to censor your gratitude list down to only what is preferred in the moment with short-sighted viewpoints.

Check out this short clip from Cy, or listen to the full podcast episode here.

CY IS COMING TO YOU!

Evolve yourself and your gratitude practice by enrolling in Cy's new experience, the Life's Messy, Live Happy group, where using gratitude to transform yourself is just one of the many topics we will be covering and connecting to being a great leader, awesome friend, better parent, enlightened colleague and supportive up-stander.

My biggest hope for all of us right now is that we can find peace amidst the chaos.

Even though we are suffering, we can still find hope. When we are lost and lonely, we can still find a connection. When we feel fearful, we can spread love. When life is really messy, we can still find peace and happiness.

That why this week''s new podcast answers 4 of your questions related to finding peace and sanity:

I want to continue working from home, while my co-workers are at the office. How do I ask for what I need?
I feel anxious and distracted working at home right now. How can I refocus and get back to productive work?
I am extroverted and realize that I get a lot of my motivation and confidence from others. How can I nip that insecurity in the bud and stop being such people pleaser?
How can I help my team and co-workers rise above the chaos, drama, and anxiety and stay focused on the task at hand?

Dear Cy, I''m struggling to put my ego aside

This week on the No Ego Podcast, I''m answering a fan letter with one of my favorite people and personal lifestyle coach, Steven Matthew Adams. This letter is all about how to move beyond your ego on a daily basis (in real life!).

What can I do to stay neutral in my behaviors and responses?
How can I toggle up in spite of my new reality?
How can I give myself more grace when I screw up?
What do I say to others when I screw up?

Be encouraged: This isn''t difficult to do, it just takes some daily practice. I hope you enjoy!

My emotions are on a rollercoaster right now. One day I feel hopeless and a little scared, the next hopeful. One day lonely and missing my family and friends, and the next feeling connected. One day feeling like I got this, and the next unsure how I''ll make it through. Anyone else?

Guess what? All of this is totally normal and expected when we go through times of big change.

This week''s new No Ego podcast is a rapid fire of answering your questions all related to how we''re doing - emotionally. I hope this podcast brings you some comfort this week and helps you work through the myriad of emotions you''re feeling right now.

This week''s Dear Cy letter is from someone leading a multi-disciplinary team that takes care of patients with chronic diseases. She isn''t a nurse herself and believes that her team doesn''t respect her as a leader because of it. She admits being conflict-averse and should have taken a more pro-active approach. Ultimately she wants to know how to hone her skills and put her ego aside to be a more effective leader.

Whether you are self-described as conflict-averse or just want to know how to handle tough conversations better, this one''s for you!

(Reality check!) Why we are the cause of our own suffering

No one wants to hear they are the cause of their own suffering. That said, I strongly believe that there are two ways to go through life: with joy or with misery. Our choice. And even though there will be pain and discomfort and suffering in our lives (reality), there are some things we can do to reduce that suffering. Watch this video to find out how to do it.

New podcast: How fear holds you back

Whether you are a new leader or a seasoned one, it''s common for your ego to come out to play. On this episode of the No Ego podcast, this new leader allowed fear to take over her ability to move to action, allowed stories to override facts, and victims and villains were alive and well. Steven Matthew Adams and I will share our best tips and techniques for moving beyond your ego and the fear, and giving yourself (and others!) some compassion.

I believe it was Einstein that said, "Together we are genius." And it turns out that together we are resilient, as well. Please take that in.together we are genius, we can craft solutions and focus on creating a better workplace and world place. Together we are resilient. Resilience is a team sport. It''s all about asking for help, using your network, and crowdsourcing for solutions.

Find out what defines the most resilient people in this video.

That is why I am so confident that we will emerge from these times more appreciative of each other, of our own privileges, more willing to share ideas, resources, opportunities, and more convinced than ever that we are not only all connected, but dependent upon one another for grace, mercy, tolerance, and action.

And that is why I am so hopeful. I am confident in us and in our ability to be impacted for the better and not just traumatized by our current situations. It is so important to evolve ourselves. And what amazing fertile ground for fast-tracked evolution!

Don't waste the moment; add your spot of genius to the outcome.

In these challenging moments of life, I find myself going back to my favorite poetry for wisdom and comfort, and this Rumi quote always brings me such peace and hope. I hope it does for you, as well.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I''ll meet you there." - Rumi

Are you resilient?

This week on the No Ego podcast, I am diving deep into the topic of resilience because I believe that for individuals and businesses, it''s one of the most important competencies we can develop if we want success, peace and happiness.

Want to know if you are resilient? You don''t want to miss what my research says about the most resilient people!

Self-reflection is a core tool I use to move beyond my ego, to get out of venting, to find within myself a way to have impact rather than blame my circumstances, and to open my mind when I am convinced I am right about someone or something.

I use self-reflection questions to help others get out of their own way, as well. In this video, I''m sharing my favorite self-reflection questions and how I use them in real-life scenarios at work.

Podcast: How leaders may be fueling drama rather than defusing it

I know many of you have heard me talk about ego as a main source of drama, but did you know there are 4 other major contributors? And here''s the kicker, folks. I find that a lot of leaders are guilty of fueling these 5 sources of drama, rather than defusing them. So, let''s use this podcast episode as a way to dive in, get reflective and find a way to move beyond drama in our workplaces (starting with YOU)!

You are not alone if you''ve ever been tempted to jump in and fix your team''s problems yourself (or, let''s be honest, you DID jump in and do the work). Even though we know this type of behavior will rob them of the chance to learn and experience their reality directly, we still do it.

For those of you out there who are implementing RBL techniques with your team, this video is going to explain how to use the question, "What would great look like?" when you feel stuck or the questions don''t seem to be working as you hoped. Watch now.

In case you missed it...

I posted this video on Youtube last week, which explains the energy cycle. It''s something I learned from my time in healthcare working with nurses and have applied to my own life. When we can manage our energy cycle, it actually helps us prevent burnout at work. Watch now

Dear Cy, I''ve worked too hard to be in this role!

Alex and I are answering a letter this week on the podcast from a mom who is working hard to get a degree in early childhood education, but then finds herself in a completely different role as a cook in the center where she is working.

She wants to know how she can find the opportunity in this role when she has worked so hard to obtain a career in teaching. We''re going to talk about how your ego gets in the way and reframing this situation to grow where you are planted.

On the No Ego Podcast this week, I''m back to answering more of your questions as we live through this pandemic. Two themes are emerging for me in your questions: finding space for others and getting perspective.

Our egos are flaring up right now and seeing insult where there isn''t any. More than ever, we have to be ready to combat it.

Questions answered in this episode:

I am a nurse manager. How can I give good communication to my team and help them focus on the task at hand when there is so much fear, anxiety, and stress?
My director is micro-managing me and not letting our team do our jobs.
What are your tips for defusing my anger when I get unwanted feedback?

As long as we''re on quarantine, I''d love to keep answering your questions about the challenges you are facing - whether it be challenges related to home life or work life. Each week I am answering several questions on the podcast and I''d love to have more!

The world health crisis had certainly revealed our true state of resilience as individuals and as teams. And for many, the reality is that our teams are just simply not as resilient as we had hoped. While they are able to "muscle through" a major challenge their stamina for sustaining new ways of working is dwindling, perhaps showing us that we are relying on a very old model of resilience - one that needs to be modernized.

Great news, resiliency is a competency that cannot only be developed, challenges are the perfect environment in which to develop resilience in the short-term and readiness for the future.

Even greater news, Realty-Based Leadership is offering two new online workshops (learn more below) to accelerate the development of resiliency, while leading teams through these disruptive and uncertain times.

We found that resilient people do two things differently:

They build networks of positive relationships.
They ask for help early and often.

To get you started on this topic - listen to this week''s No Ego podcast: Building Your Resilience During Uncertainty

Two New Workshops for Leaders and Teams

While we are certainly doing more virtual training these days due to the pandemic, it''s not anything new to us! Our team has been delivering virtual and live online training for over ten years and are well equipped to bring any of our sessions or experiences to your teams virtually.

In response to the challenges our world is now facing, we developed these two new workshops:

NEW Session For Leaders: Leading in Uncertainty and Crisis*
NEW Session For Teams: Finding Peace, Happiness, and Greatness in Transformative Times*

*Wellness Credit: Check with your organization''s insurance provider to see if they offer credits for wellness programs.

Your ego is going to grab onto anything to stay angry right now.

Someone asks you to account for what you''re doing at home. Ego: That''s so insulting. They must not trust me to do the right thing.
Someone points out an error. Ego:They must think I''m not good at my job.
Someone asks you about how you are coming along on your project. Ego: They don''t believe I am doing my work at home and are micro-managing me.

Do you see how the ego instantly adds meaning to a happening or event?

This week, I want you to strip away all the judgment and assumptions and give benefit of the doubt. You might find that there really isn''t much to be angry or stressed about.

Watch this top video of the week for more on this topic.

ON THE PODCAST: What we''re learning about ourselves right now

Boy, are we learning a lot about ourselves and others during this quarantine! Have you stopped to notice and pay attention? This week''s new No Ego podcast is all about what you have discovered about yourself during this time.

What has been better?
What has been worse?
What has surprised you?

The more we tune into how this time has changed us, the more we can grow.
