504: Speak Up or Stay Stuck with Pam Marmon

by

Today’s guest is making her second appearance on the podcast. Her first was back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. That book, called No One’s Listening and It’s Your Fault was geared to leaders.

Her new book is intended for managers and employees. It’s all about navigating the inevitable periods of change within an organization. It’s called Speak Up or Stay Stuck: Get Your Voice Heard When Fast and Forced Change Happens In the Workplace.

Your company is changing, Pam says, whether you like it or not. As a manager, you are expected to make that transformation happen, yet you feel voiceless, unseen, and unrepresented.

Change is not the enemy. It’s inevitable and it could be the key to your success. In Speak Up or Stay Stuck, Pam unpacks a practical framework for implementing organizational change while ensuring your voice is heard. Finally: the key to amplifying your message without jeopardizing your job.

You’ll discover how to communicate with senior leaders while effectively advocating for yourself and your team. Reclaim control and ownership of your work, grow your organizational change resilience, and find new ways to thrive when fast and forced change hits your workplace.

489: How to Work with (Almost) Anyone with Michael Bungay Stanier

by

This week’s guest wrote a book that is considered to be the best coaching book of the century. He and I spoke about that book here several years ago.

His latest book is another winner in my view. His name is Michael Bungay Stanier and the book is How to Work with (Almost) Anyone.

The hard truth, Michael says, is most of us leave many of our relationships to chance. Few of us approach them with any amount of intentionality.

Relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre. Carry on.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. Every working relationship can be better.

Michael’s book shows you how to build the best possible relationship.

439: How to Future-Proof Your Business with Jonathan Brill

by

My guest today says that, at this moment, rogue waves are forming under your business. Emerging technologies, changing demographics, the data economy, automation, and other trends―the undercurrents of radical, systemic change―are crashing into each other.

When they converge, they’ll produce sea changes that sink companies and wash away entire industries overnight. If your competitor can’t ride out the next wave and you can, you win.

That guest I’m alluding to is Jonathan Brill, and he’s written a book called Rogue Waves: Future-Proof Your Business to Survive & Profit From Radical Change.

In it, he shows you how to prepare your business to survive and thrive through the most radical upheavals.

His book has been called a must-read survival guide that provides the predictive tools you need to take advantage of randomness, turn chaos into profit, and set your company on the course for long-term success.

416: The Extraordinary Unordinary You with Simone Knego

by

Sometimes you record an interview and it gets mangled by the technology. Something beyond your control goes wrong. It happens.

Then, sometimes, the person responsible for recording the conversation forgets to click the record button. Yep. I did that. The second time in nine years.

But, thankfully, most people are really forgiving. That’s certainly an apt description of Simone Knego, who, upon learning of my slip up, graciously agreed to do it all over again. And, you know what, it turned out even better. A blessing in disguise.

I’m delighted to share with you about her new book. It’s called The Extraordinary Unordinary YOU: Follow Your Own Path, Discover Your Own Journey.

In it, Simone shares that what you do matters and it inspires others. And, by sharing your story, you can motivate and encourage those around you – and in doing so, change the world.
