This past week, I was short on sleep, which led to rising tension at home, and my husband and I found ourselves butting heads. After delivering two workshops on handling conflict and difficult conversations, I decided to practice what I preach when addressing the situation with him. Good news: the methodology works! In this week’s Two-Minute Tip, I share the one key strategy that changed the course of our disagreement—and how it can help you resolve conflicts faster too. https://lnkd.in/gRSAtWuQ #conflictresolution #givingfeedback #leadership #twominutetip

My #BoiseState Broncos were struggling last year. Performance was lagging and team morale was low—until Coach Danielson stepped in with three regular-season games remaining. From that point on, the mood shifted and so did performance on the field, ending the season with three straight wins and a conference championship. Fast forward to this season, and the Broncos continue to climb the ranks. What's the magic behind Coach D's leadership? I think it all comes down to this... #twominutetip #leadership #servantleadership

I was recently on a trip with a delayed flight. Naturally, passengers were getting antsy as we waited.   Then, the gate agent came on the loudspeaker and made an announcement that went against all the advice I'd ever give a leader or organization. I was shocked.   I share it all in this week's quick tip video. https://lnkd.in/gy4X-jmk #leadership #ownership #culture #organizationalhealth #twominutetip

This week's Two-Minute Tip is inspired by my daughter's reaction to her recent birthday gift. Her selflessness and thoughtfulness moved us so much that we decided to take the gift up a notch.   This got me thinking about the unassuming colleagues on our teams—the ones who quietly and selflessly contribute without seeking recognition. Join me as we address our tendency to inadvertently neglect those who may not seek the spotlight and discuss how crucial it is to intentionally elevate them. https://lnkd.in/gc3pQpFY #leadership #management #twominutetip

Have you ever been on a delayed flight, forced to stressfully sprint to your connecting flight? The one thing that would have helped most is if passengers without tight connections let you exit the plane first—but no one followed the crew member's request on the matter.    I've been there many times. But recently, I witnessed something different—a flight attendant who took a new approach in this exact scenario that solved the chaos and benefited everyone involved.    As leaders, I believe we can learn from his approach and apply this strategy to boost shared accountability within our teams. https://lnkd.in/ga5A4KWd #leadership #accountability #ownership #clarity #twominutetip

Recently, my daughter was asked what she thought of her two parents and our unique parenting styles. Her answer was both surprising and hilarious—watch the video to find out what she said!   But what if your team was asked a similar question: what do they think of you and your leadership style? How would they respond?   Dive into this video to discover a simple yet profound exercise that will help you align your leadership style with the qualities you aspire to embody. It's a quick check-in that could make all the difference in how you connect with and lead your team. https://lnkd.in/eRmEGucU #selfawareness #selfleadership #leadershipstyle #leadership #management #twominutetip

This summer, my daughter was doing something every single day that I wanted her to change, but no amount of feedback was fixing the situation.   Finally, I took a different approach—and guess what? It worked!   If you're tired of addressing the same frustration over and over again with your team, this quick video is a must-watch. #leadership #management #changeleadership #twominutetip

Ever feel intimidated by the "put-together" leaders around you? You know, the ones who appear perfectly poised and confident in all settings. I know I do.   Whether we realize it or not, we can all come across as a little intimidating at times. While sometimes this works in our favor, it can also very quickly create unwanted barriers.   I believe one of the greatest superpowers a leader can possess is the ability to come across as exceedingly approachable. In this week's video, I'll share my best strategy for getting there. #leadership #trust #connection #twominutetip

Many years ago in high school, I had a rough basketball season. Instead of continuing to improve over time, my skills and execution deteriorated. Why? Because I was missing the three things that every team member needs in order to perform at their best.   Do your employees have these three things from you? Watch this week's Two-Minute Tip to find out. https://lnkd.in/gs-U3Nka #leadership #management #employeeengagement #twominutetip
