Have you ever felt stuck, blocked, or that something you can’t quite put your finger on is preventing you from getting the business and personal outcomes that you desire? My returning guest and Business Healer, Marte Siebenhar , struggled with overwork and burnout for years. As she sought and applied a variety of tools to help herself, she developed insights into how our unconscious mental and emotional blocks influence and limit the results we produce at work. Eventually she developed a way to heal and release what was holding her back while transforming her relationship with and performance at work. Today she works with high-achieving professionals to help them overcome burnout and amplify their success while working fewer hours with greater joy and purpose.

Most of us want to be more influential, creative, and able to build key relationships in and out of work. But this isn't always easy to accomplish, and sometimes it seems it’s because someone is standing in our way. But that someone, more often than not, might just be ourselves. For this minisode I’m bringing back business ethnographer and empathy trainer, Karen Faith, to discuss a powerful approach to listening, communicating, and relating she calls the “Unconditional Welcome." In this conversation Karen and I discuss what Unconditional Welcome is, when and how to apply it, and recognizing how our judgements limit us. We also talk about why it can be a game changer for building trust and improving collaboration, creativity, and innovation in organizations. Karen invites us to be more accepting of ourselves and others, and discover the many possibilities that open up for us when we embrace Unconditional Welcome. Check out episode 26 if you’re curious to learn more about Karen’s work as a business ethnographer, her background in music and performance art, and how she pulls all of these experiences and skills together to teach leaders and teams how to be more successful by learning and practicing “cognitive empathy.” *A special thank you to Chris Baer for his voicework and creative contribution to this episode.

What if instead of thinking of you as an employee, your boss and workplace treated you like a valued customer? My guest and HR transformation expert, Dart Lindsley, knows that industrial-age management practices are not working. He champions a new approach to how we design our work in organizations by treating work as a product that every organization builds and sells to their employees. Dart believes that by treating work as a product and employees as customers, organizations can build and deliver work that makes employees feel alive while delivering better results for all stakeholders. In this conversation Dart and I had a wide-ranging discussion that includes his re-frame of work as product, how this approach opens new possibilities and benefits for people and organizations, the problem with the “working dead,” lessons learned from over 25 years of working in people operations functions at Cisco Systems and Google, his background as a student of literature and how he applies what he learned from literature and writing to his corporate roles, and more. Dart thinks deeply about the world of work and how to bring more humanity and satisfaction to our work life and beyond. *A special thank you to Karen Faith for her voicework and creative contribution to this episode. ABOUT OUR GUEST Dart Lindsley is the CEO and Co-founder of the work experience design firm 11fold . Previously he led Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google, and HR Transformation at Cisco Systems. With a unique background spanning two decades in literary arts and business architecture, he is the author of the Harvard Business Review article " Reimagining Work as Product " and host of the " Work for Humans " podcast. In his work, Dart argues that work is a product to which employees subscribe, so all companies are multi-sided with employees forming one side.

Most of us have sat through a mandatory class, training, or presentation at work that was pretty terrible. Worse yet, we probably felt like a hostage waiting to escape.

#028 Choreographing Work: Lessons from Dance with Renatus Hoogenraad 1:34:44

Ever heard the idiom “It takes two to tango”? For service design facilitator and executive coach, Renatus Hoogenraad, the spirit behind this idiom has a more literal meaning. As a former professional ballet dancer and someone trained in applied improvisation, Renatus pays special attention to how we show up and use our bodies at work. He thinks of work as an ongoing choreography where a form of dance is happening in the interactions among team members. Renatus’ perspective is a refreshing counterbalance to what many of us have been trained to do at school and work: live in our heads. We are led to believe that relying on our intellect will help us succeed while downplaying intuition, emotion, and relational skills that are key to achieving meaningful breakthroughs in any domain. If you look into the lives of legendary innovators, you will find that their breakthroughs were not solely a byproduct of thinking, but that other human faculties were key to their achievements. In this episode Renatus and I explore his approach to being more embodied at work, how to unlock better creative collaboration through greater embodied awareness, and how he applies learnings from his previous life as a professional ballet dancer to helping people be more connected and in sync at work. I hope this conversation inspires you to explore what being more embodied at work is like for you, and sense into what transformation you may be able to unlock for yourself and how you relate with others. *A special thanks to Karen Faith for her creativity and voicework in this episode. ABOUT OUR GUEST Renatus Hoogenraad , formerly active in the world of Performing Arts, now enjoys helping organizations develop the human-centric aspects of "working better together," creating a culture that people care for. Specializing in service innovation facilitation, combined with coaching, emotional intelligence, and leadership training, he finds fulfillment in witnessing people become world-class facilitators of co-creative work processes. He is passionate about developing authentic and charismatic people and teams at all levels who use human-centric work approaches for the benefit of their organizations and their lives. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Renatus speaks English, French, Dutch, and enough German to order a beer. He studied Business Administration and Performing Arts and is an accredited Coach.

Life at work can feel dull, transactional, and exhausting. Fortunately, it does not have to be that way. In fact, our work can be turned into a vehicle for transforming how we relate and connect with others, while making other areas of our lives feel bright, inspired and nourishing. For this minisode I’m bringing back innovation and leadership development expert, Chris Baer , to discuss “working with love,” a key foundation of his leadership development work through his Mandala Institute . Chris’ work focuses on helping leaders develop more relational skills so their organizations can have better culture, more wellbeing, higher performance and growth.

Developing the inner skill of working with love will transform your life at work and elsewhere. If you are looking for inspiration to reimagine approaching a process of transformation to make work and other areas of your life feel bright, inspired and connected, this conversation is for you.

Henry Ford once said that “if there is any secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from [their] angle as well as from your own.” What Henry Ford was talking about is practicing “cognitive empathy” also known as “perspective taking.” My guest and founder of Others Unlimited, Karen Faith, teaches people in organizations how to be more successful by learning and practicing “cognitive empathy” to achieve better results in communication, trust, culture, collaboration, and many other benefits.

If we want to be an effective leader, team member, and problem-solver, we must be skilled at understanding what is really going on with ourselves and others.

Keeping up with the accelerating pace of change and complexity in our world can feel daunting. Fortunately, there are people like global improv consultant and comedy teacher, Belina Raffy, who can show us how to re-energize how we relate with our teams and bring more joy, creativity, and connection to our organizations. Belina makes the case that practicing improv is the gym to strengthen our ability to deal with complexity. In this conversation Belina and I discuss the benefits we can derive from practicing applied improv at work and other areas of our lives, improv’s triangle model, the distinction between serious and solemn, how to let go of being constrictive and embrace being more expansive, genuine vs. toxic positivity, teaching activists stand up comedy to help them reach and connect with audiences, and the genius of her friend Tolu and how he devised a program to train CEOs through his office cleaning service. ABOUT OUR GUEST Belina Raffy is a global improv consultant, climate comedy teacher, and giggler, helping people and organisations to bring more love, expansiveness, and ability to engage with complex systems into our responses to climate and social issues. She has worked with many organisations including the science accelerator lab Frontier Development Lab (a collaborative partner with the European Space Agency and NASA), giz (a German sustainable development organisation), and the Inga Foundation (which applies a scientifically proven, organic agroforestry system that helps farmers thrive). Belina has been designing and facilitating different forms of improv workshops for people working in sustainability since 2008 to help build collaboration, engagement, and our ability to engage with complex issues. She was on the board of the Applied Improvisation Network for six years, co-chaired many of their international conferences, and initiated a collaboration between the Applied Improvisation Network and the Red Cross Climate Centre. Belina wrote a book, ‘ Using Improv to Save the World (and me) ’ about her experience of letting go of having a home and travelling to 11 countries around the world to facilitate applied improvisation workshops. And since 2015, Belina has been delivering one of her favourite brainchildren - ’ Sustainable Stand Up ’ - a course which teaches people working on climate and social issues how to use a loving form of humour to think more expansively about the issues they care about, and to communicate them in a more engaging way. In June 2023, Belina became a facilitator of the powerful peer-coaching tool the Flow Game, so she could help people gain clarity about their work and lives in a deeper way. Belina is based in Berlin, Germany and giggles a lot because she loves what she does.

#021 How Small Stories Solve Big Problems with Ellie Snowden 1:34:54

Big complex problems don’t necessarily have to be overwhelming. My guest and applied anthropologist, Ellie Snowden, harnesses the power of small stories to help people in organizations turn big intractable problems into manageable ones. She argues that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. Instead, we can create much more impactful interventions by quickly gathering many small and granular stories related to a complex problem and then bring together multiple expert perspectives to envision the best path forward. The approach employed by Ellie and her colleagues is helpful in identifying what is truly needed to effectively address a big complex problem while opening fresh possibilities for the future. In this conversation, Ellie and I discuss her unique approach to work at The Cynefin (pronounced kuh-nev-in, it’s a Welsh word) Company; how she uses a software tool called SenseMaker to gather stories and facilitate collaborative problem-solving work; how studying medical anthropology, yoga, and massage has shaped her approach to her work; and her take on embodied knowledge, humanizing business and doing meaningful work. ABOUT OUR GUEST Ellie Snowden works at the Cynefin Company as a senior research consultant focused on enabling clients to make use of distributed ethnography (SenseMaker®), and participatory sense-making methods. The Cynefin Company is a centre for applied complexity: bridging principles from the natural sciences, with narrative inquiry. Ellie's academic background is in the anthropology of social development and transformation, with a specialism in medical anthropology. After working as a qualitative researcher in public policy and employment research, she found herself coming back to her roots and joining the Cynefin Centre in 2016. Ellie currently leads development of the Centre’s Health Programme. Some of her more recent projects include: identifying drivers of child and early forced marriage with the Women’s Refugee Commission in the Philippines and Zimbabwe; an oral history of Nurses experiences during COVID-19 with the Royal College of Nursing (Northern Ireland and Scotland). The work currently in development is focused on how best to support the healthcare workforce in the years to come. Ever a proponent of embodied knowledge and exploring the epistemological and ontological possibilities of different modalities of health and healing, Ellie is also a trained massage therapist and yoga teacher.

Is there an aspect of your work you find beautiful? While we might not think of beauty as a property that arises in many domains of work, my guest and sociology professor, Brandon Vaidyanathan, is finding beauty at work in unexpected places. After unexpectedly stumbling into the topic of beauty at work during research projects, Brandon is now devoting time to explore how we might expand our understanding of beauty and how it shapes us in our work and personal lives.

Have you ever thought about what gets in the way of teams achieving the results they want? My guest, Andres Marquez-Lara, makes the case that it’s not due to a lack of tools or technology, but rather due to miscommunication, misaligned agendas, ego and conflict. Or, as he calls it, “messy human stuff.” Andres is a leadership development and collaboration expert who combines his training in clinical psychology with his background in improv and theater to create connections that help people come together and get past the barriers that get in the way of accomplishing great work. In this episode Andres and I discuss how he works with leaders and organizations to navigate the “messy human stuff” that gets in the way of team engagement, trust, alignment, and the achievement of organizational goals. We also talk about how he learned to use skills from improv and theater to build community, how creating trust is an ongoing activity, the importance of self-awareness for leaders, the lessons he learned through his experience as an immigrant, and his book writing experiment using Chat GPT. ABOUT OUR GUEST Andres Marquez-Lara is Founder and CEO of UFacilitate . He helps high-performing teams in nonprofit and philanthropic institutions deal with the “messy human stuff” that creates silos that put their mission at risk by breaking down barriers to collaboration across people, departments, and organizations. Andres is Adjunct Faculty at the Executive Master in Policy Leadership (EMPL) and Master of Policy Management (MPM) at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy, Adjunct Faculty at Georgetown University Institute for Transformative Leadership and a Guest Lecturer at the Georgetown University’s Latin America Leadership Program (LALP). He is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (CEPL) at George Washington University, and an Advisor at the Emergence Project for Purposeful Entrepreneurship at Stanford University. He was named one of the emerging social innovators of the year in North America by Ashoka and American Express back in 2014. He also received the George C. Askew Award from the American Academy of Certified Public Managers for his exceptional curriculum when he worked at the DC Department of Behavioral Health. He earned a BA in psychology from Duke University, and a graduate degree in clinical community psychology from the Universidad Catolica Andres Bello in Caracas, Venezuela. He lives in the triangle area in North Carolina with his wife and two young children.
