Right-side Up Leadership Podcast

Interruptions. They're all around us. They're bad, but also good. The problem is when we allow interruptions to overtake our schedules and distract us from things that matter.  On today's episode, Alan and Jonathan are going to guide you through a process of identifying interruptions in your life and leadership, understanding the importance of margin and a rhythm of sabbath, and why we need these in our daily lives to continue getting healthy and reaching more sustainable impact. 

Form and function exist in just about every facet of our life. From clothing, to technology, to automobiles, homes, etc. But what about our leadership? We place so much emphasis on the things we use everyday but what about ourselves?  As we grow, our systems need to grow with us in order to continue living and leading from a posture of health.  So when is it time to redesign your weekly rhythms?

The tension of the past and present is something we all navigate in our life and leadership. It's easy to be so forward focused that we lose sight of important facets of our lives and leadership and leave things behind that we need as we move forward. On the flip side, we can also hold on to things from our past that are no longer useful or beneficial. So what do you do? Join us as Alan and Jonathan guide you through part 2 of our summer series as we address the topic of reinventing. On this episode you'll be guided through a process of looking back at things you need to return to, things you need to let go of, and how to reinvent important areas of your life and leadership as you look ahead.    

Welcome to summer and episode 1 of our guided podcast series. We've been planning this for about a year now and we're excited to finally kick off this series.  On today's episode we're looking at what it looks like to reimagine innovation and change. Alan and Jonathan are going to guide you through this interactive episode with what it looks like to look back, diagnose what needs to be reimagined, the importance of cultivating inward, and finally, how to activate forward. Whether you're sitting on a beach somewhere, headed out for a run, a hike, or simply sitting and relaxing, we hope you take time to reinvest in your life and leadership with this interactive series.       

This is the last podcast that will feel like our other 300 plus episodes for a while.  We've been cooking up a summer podcast series for over a year now. We’re really excited about it because it’s different than anything we’ve ever done. It is a risk for us, but we take risks when we know that you guys need something else.  You don't just need more information. You don't just need more good interviews. Although our interviews are great. Go back to our last episode and you'll hear some of our favorite highlights.  We believe that you need an encounter and an experience with the living. God, we believe that there are some things that you need to reengage in your life and in your leadership and in your family.  We also know it’s summer and summer brings travel, adventure, and experiences with different people, places, and spaces. And that’s where this interactive podcast series fits. We created it to accompany you as you spend time outside, on the road, or at the beach.  Maybe you run, maybe you hike. Mayb

Once a month we host coaching calls for high capacity leaders in our Right Side Up Collective, a private community of like minded investing in their leadership in a way you wont find anywhere else.  This months coaching call featured leadership and anxiety expert Steve Cuss. Steve unpacked the common types of anxiety leaders often carry, how to identify them in yourself and others, and how to take steps to reducing the anxiety we carry.  This conversation is ripe with application and we wanted to share it with our podcast listeners.  About Steve   I cut my teeth on leadership anxiety when I served as a chaplain at a level one trauma hospital. The hospital sent us into every conceivable human experience and we had nothing but our wits and the presence of God to get us through. In that baptism of fire, I learned how to pay attention to what was going on under the surface of my own life, and also the dynamics between family members. I was steeped in family systems theory and then later studied cybernetics i

Jonathan recently had a conversation on the community and purpose podcast about advice giving versus taking the posture of a guide. Neither are bad and there is a time for both but because our culture is so fast paced, we often miss golden opportunities to guide someone toward major transformation because we only opened the doorway with advice where we could have walked them through it.  Level your leadership Apply for Leap Year Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining Right Side Up Collective Check out the Right Side Up Journal
