Everyday Leadership Conversations

We at the Jorgensen Learning Center are huge fans of the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz… It teaches us how to reconcile one of the most important relationships we have: the relationship with oneself.

In this installment of the JLC Podcast, Ray, Colleen and Julie talk about different ways to apply The Four Agreements in our effort to have meaningful conversations, not just with our colleagues, but also with ourselves.

An organization’s most valuable asset is its people, and the most successful organizations are the ones who take the time to develop those people, and regularly encourage them to perform at a higher level.

In this episode, Ray Jorgensen and the JLC team talk about how creating your own “Personal Learning Container” can help you and your team realize tangible results and desired outcomes.

The Jorgensen Learning Center offers a variety of programs for individuals and organizations to enhance their communication and leadership skills… To find out more, visit our Events page at https://www.gojlc.com/inlearning-events

Have you considered the difference between a "casual" conversation a more formal "leadership" conversation? As we say so often, professional conversations among knowledge workers are a key to success...

In this episode, the JLC team discusses the importance of designing a conversation to elicit the outcome you desire… Listen in as the group explores the differences between a "casual" conversation and a more mindful "learning" conversation -- one that's held in Safe Space, which then leads to professional Commitments from each of the meeting participants…

Checking Out of a meeting is similar to checking in; its purpose is to continue enhancement of accountability and engagement among team members. 

In this episode, your hosts Coleen and Julie illustrate how the “Check Out” can shift your conversations from thinking the team will perform the expected action, to ensuring every member has a clear understanding of next steps. 

People walk into a meeting with many different things going on in their mind; we call this cognitive noise. Studies show the first ten minutes of any meeting are “lost” while people gather their focus and become mentally present. The way to regain this time is to do a simple check-in. A check-in allows the participants to clear their minds of other issues, settle in, and focus so that they are ready to learn. This simple activity gets participants engaged, present, and committed to what you are trying to achieve.

In this episode, Julie and Nichole will discuss the different ways to "check in" to a meeting, and how those check-ins enhance accountability and engagement throughout your organization.

Conversational safe space is key to open dialogue and trust. People expose their thinking and open themselves up to possible judgment.

In this episode of the Everyday Leadership Conversations podcast, hosts Colleen and Vince show you how to create and foster psychological safety in your organization... 

You'll learn how to "STEAR" your meetings to create safe spaces for your colleagues, leading to more risk-taking, stronger teams, and market breakthroughs.

Are you trustworthy? Do you trust your colleagues? 

The practice of trust is both deeply personal and inherently collective. In this episode, hosts Vince Starks and Julie B. Wise will discuss how environments of fear, trust and trustworthiness can negatively (or positively!) impact relationships and results in the workplace.

During this podcast, you'll learn how to establish intentionality to enhance a trustworthy environment. And you'll learn how being specifically aware of your everyday conversations aligns with trust and trustworthiness.

In this episode, hosts Vince Starks and Colleen Sullivan discuss how human interaction can lead us to a conclusion and a successful outcome or on occasion, slow us down...

Talk can be cheap and sometimes distracting. Talk and meetings happen all the time in either our brick and mortar or virtual world. The most impactful leaders work to achieve results through relationships. Once high-quality professional relationships are in place, everyone wins. Winning means helping the team win by accomplishing desired results in a way that reflects the values of the individual or team. 

By the end of Vince and Colleen's discussion, you'll learn how to understand and identify the different interactions that you engage in on a daily basis and focus on the ones that sustain and enhance quality relationships.
