In this episode, Steven Morris, Lori Schwanbeck, and Scott Shute discuss: The three components of self-compassion Mindfulness is observation without judgment Expanding your view of your circumstances Practicing empathy and kindness in your self-care Key Takeaways: Practice self-compassion. The three components of self-compassion are these: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness. Mindfulness is observing inner experiences without identification or judgment. Use the concept of “what else is true” to challenge negative thoughts. Ask your inner voice if it has the full story. When we go through something difficult, we tend to adopt a narrow view of ourselves and of the world. Remember the concept of “common humanity” when you go through hardships. Always remind yourself that you are not alone in your struggles. Once you have practiced mindfulness and have made yourself aware of common humanity, the next step is to bring in kindness to yourself. Ask yourself, “What do I need most right now?” and “How do I want to meet this moment?” "Gratitude primes us. It's an attentional strategy, like noticing what it is that we're usually taking for granted. It's a self expanding emotion. " — Lori Schwanbeck “It starts with us… so what's the light that we can cultivate from within and be the lighthouse for others?” — Scott Shute Lori Schwanbeck and Scott Shute’s book recommendations: Connect With Lori Schwanbeck: Website: https://www.lorischwanbeck.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-schwanbeck-43187a7/ Scott Shute: Website: https://www.scottshute.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottshute/ Get "The Beautiful Business" book by clicking on this link: https://the-beautiful-business.com/ Connect With Steven Morris Website: https://matterco.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenmorris111/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matter_smorris/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/StevenMMorris Steven Morris, CEO of Matter Consulting is an ever-curious life-seeker, brand and culture building expert, advisor , author , and speaker .

Show Notes: Brand as Olympic Torch Metaphor: A brand embodies its core values and vision like the Olympic torch represents the Games. Role of the Torchbearer: Initially lit by a leader or founder, the torch’s flame should be carried and shared by the entire organization. Sustaining the Flame: Successful brands like Apple and Nike keep their flame vibrant through continuous innovation and adaptation. Consequences of Neglect: A brand that fails to adapt risks becoming irrelevant, similar to how Blockbuster's flame dimmed. Shared Responsibility: Every member of an organization plays a role in maintaining and passing on the brand’s flame. Power of Connection: A strong brand creates a shared experience and connects with customers on a deeper level. Rekindling the Flame: Regularly assess and renew the brand’s purpose, values, and promises to keep the flame burning bright. Impact Beyond Origin: Like the Olympic torch carried globally, a well-managed brand’s influence can reach and inspire beyond its immediate scope.

In this episode, Steven Morris and Michael Bungay Stanier discuss: Psychological safety enhances workplace dynamics How leaders can nurture the best relationships Side-stepping the drama triangle and focusing on clear communication Redefining your meaning of success Key Takeaways: Cultivating healthy working relationships is imperative for both personal happiness and success. Conversations that create psychological safety can enhance workplace dynamics. For leaders to nurture the best relationships possible, they should aim for safety, vitality, and repairability. These discussions are pivotal for cementing a successful and harmonious rapport. Conflict, if not managed well, tends to devolve into putting each person or party in the role of either the rescuer, the victim, or the persecutor. Clear out boundaries and remind everyone that the goal is to communicate effectively, not for either side to win or lose. Seek growth through overcoming challenges rather than simply amassing wins. Redefine your meaning of success; set meaningful goals, learn continuously, and know when to feel content and how you can contribute positively. "Keep asking yourself what success is, and then keep finding opportunities to do work that is thrilling and important and daunting, that gives you some principles to figure out some interesting stuff and be fulfilled." — Michael Bungay Stanier Michael Bungay Stanier’s book recommendations: Connect With Michael Bungay Stanier: Website: https://www.mbs.works/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mbs_works LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbungaystanier YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdFUOWjr4uI6T45zN1uJZ3Q Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mbs_works-113849977032317 Get "The Beautiful Business" book by clicking on this link: https://the-beautiful-business.com/ Connect With Steven Morris Website: https://matterco.co/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenmorris111/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matter_smorris/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/StevenMMorris Steven Morris, CEO of Matter Consulting is an ever-curious life-seeker, brand and culture building expert, advisor , author , and speaker .

In a recent conversation, I engaged with a CEO who shared their experience of feeling overwhelmed by the imposition of an external "brand process" by an agency, a phenomenon they termed as being "agencied." This encounter sparked a profound reflection on the alignment between brand and culture, as the CEO emphasized the importance of delving into the essence of their organization rather than adhering to superficial branding exercises. This resonated deeply, highlighting the intrinsic connection between brand and every facet of a company's operations. The imperative of ensuring this alignment was underscored, as fragmentation between brand, culture, and business strategy can undermine long-term viability. Trust emerged as pivotal, emphasizing the necessity of consistent delivery and fulfillment of promises to sustain customer loyalty and employee engagement.
