S4-Ep8: How Your Personal Practices Make You an Exceptional Leader, According to Kathryn Goldman ...

Guest: Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, Ph.D.
From fostering smiles in the office to mindfulness, your personal practices have a major effect on your team - and your success. In fact, what you do as a person - not just as a leader - can ripple through your organization.
That’s one major takeaway from Dr. Kathryn Goldman Schuyler in this episode. She’s conducted extensive research on “waking up at work” - a greater awareness of workplace systems and how your actions affect them. Having a sense of humor, spending time outdoors, journaling, meditation: they can all boost positivity and morale in your team, and that boosts productivity and engagement in the process.
Here's what Kathryn and Maureen cover:

1. How personal practices impact your professional growth and leadership effectiveness;

2. The many ways journaling, walking, and “mindful moments” unlock your full potential in the workplace; and

3. How to inspire and motivate your team with a sense of humor and generally boosting joy at work.
