7 days ago
7 days ago
Are you incorporating joy into your life?
If you aren’t, why not?
If you are, are you being intentional about it? Are you incorporating enough?
My friend, Lisa Even, shares ideas on how to intentionally incorporate more!
Lisa is a speaker, best-selling author, and JOY Connoisseur. Her podcast, "Have Good Ripple Effect," and her book, "Joy is My Job," embody her entire approach to life.
Lisa challenges organizations and individuals to look beyond their backyards and realize they happen to the world, not the other way around.
From her humble beginnings waitressing at the R&R Café in small town Iowa (serving coffee and breakfast to locals, farmers, and truckers) to leadership roles in corporate America and raising a family, Lisa understands the pressures of designing a life (work and play) that is impactful yet enjoyable. Her authentic connection, contagious energy, and wealth of real-life experiences captivate audiences, inspiring them to create meaningful ripple effects.
Lisa has addressed diverse audiences, from corporate giants like Disney and ESPN to universities, associations, and over 30 industries, consistently delivering content and insights that resonate deeply.
And I’m thrilled to have her here, too!
In this episode, Lisa & I discuss:
Her journey from healthcare leader to JOY Connoisseur
Joy postponement…I’ll have time for joy when…
Happy to crappy…It’s your choice.
Sock parties, camping in the living room, mini dates, and pre-vacation staycations
Perspective shifting and the possibility of being two things at once
Her book, Joy Is My Job
Strategies for adding joy to your life without creating another list

32. Being Quietly Effective with Thinking Strengths
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
Wrapping up our focus on strengths and diving into the fourth type, Thinking strengths, the strengths that explain how someone views the world.
Individuals who have two or more are often considered quietly effective and tend to prefer mental work, a preference that can be wildly confusing to someone without such strengths.
Are you quietly effective? Does it seem your efforts are underappreciated? Perhaps unnoticed? This may be why.
Do you question why other people require a level of detail that seems unnecessary from your perspective? Do you work with people who seem all over the place? And the guidance and expectations they provide change daily? Anyone who seems stuck in the details from the past?
Does it seem they’re deliberately making your life miserable? They likely aren’t and simply have Thinking strengths you don’t instead.
This episode will help you understand yourself and others even more. Why you operate the way you do and why others don’t.

31. Harnessing the Strengths of People with Neurodiversity with Gina Brown
Thursday Sep 26, 2024
Thursday Sep 26, 2024
I strongly believe everyone has value, and my friend, Gina Brown, believes it, too.
In this episode, Gina shares her story of being diagnosed with ADHD in 2020 and the positive impact her diagnosis has had in her life and business.
After her 20-something career in the corporate world, Gina started MAGNIFY Innovation & Leadership to increase her impact on the employee experience. Through her roles in leadership and innovation, she realized how pivotal leaders are to creating an environment where innovation thrives.
Taking a step deeper, she is now coaching and consulting on the topics of leadership and innovation through the lens of neurodiversity.
Through her own experiences of having ADHD, she coaches leaders by building awareness of the nuances of neurodiversity through the trifecta of mindset, skillset, and toolset to create an environment where people thrive.
When leaders and companies harness the power of the neurodivergent mind, wonderful things happen, and research proves it.
In this episode, Gina & I discuss:
What led to her ADHD diagnosis
Her challenges with understanding her own needs and her desire to help others understand theirs
The problem with methods, not potential
Her pre-diagnosis coping mechanisms and beliefs
Strength building vs flaw fixing
What ADHD is really is
How she helps companies harness the strengths of people with neurodiversity

30. Influencing with Influencing Strengths
Thursday Sep 12, 2024
Thursday Sep 12, 2024
We’re continuing down the CliftonStrengths path and diving deeper into the third type of strengths, Influencing strengths…the strengths that explain how people move others to action.
I share examples of the Influencing strengths I have, as well as the ones I absolutely do not, including Competition. If this is a strength of yours, and if you care about winning even a little, I’m the last one you’ll ever want to play Monopoly, basketball, or pretty much anything with because I don’t.
Have you ever felt less than enthused about a particular project? Because you felt the outcome could never be more than mediocre? You might have one of the Influencing strengths I do have. Listen to see.
This episode will help you understand yourself and others even more. Why you operate the way you do and why others don’t.

29. What Mountain Are You Climbing and Why? with Eric Recker
Thursday Aug 29, 2024
Thursday Aug 29, 2024
How often do you accomplish something, then immediately wonder, “Now what?” It’s a common occurrence for my friend, Eric Recker. And in this episode he shares the importance of asking ourselves why we’re doing it in the first place.
Eric first joined us in Episode 26, where we talked about burnout, perfectionism, and the importance of selflessness.
In this episode, Eric talks about his most recent challenge, climbing Snowbasin 13 times in 36 hours. Totaling 29,029 feet, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest.
Eric is a dentist, success coach, keynote speaker, workshop facilitator on performance & burnout, two-time author, recovering triathlete (who’s really just doing other crazy stuff instead), husband, and dad.
Eric’s life took an unexpected turn when he was faced with a near-death experience due to a rare medical condition, a sobering moment that forced him to confront his priorities & reassess his approach to life. Now, he strives to support individuals & teams in achieving their goals while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
In this episode, Eric & I discuss:
The climb…Climbing Snowbasin 13 times in 36 hours (and paying to do it)
Loosening his grip on the outcomes
The importance of community and not climbing alone
Community vs competition
The importance of knowing why he was climbing the mountain
Enjoying the journey, not just reaching the destination, and the importance of celebrating along the way
Chasing happiness
His constant support from his wife, Amy
How one person’s version of fun may be another’s suffering
The inspiration for his book, The Dam Analogy
The importance of being honest with ourselves to prevent burnout

Thursday Aug 15, 2024
Thursday Aug 15, 2024
Are you a “get sh*t done” kind of person who has a hard time understanding people who aren’t?
Or do you feel surrounded by those people, & they annoy the sh*t out of you because they have unrealistic expectations and don’t understand why you don’t operate the same way?
In this episode I dig deeper into Executing strengths…the strengths I affectionately refer to as “get sh*t done” strengths. You’re unlikely to find that on Gallup’s site…That’s all me.

Thursday Jul 25, 2024
How are strengths similar to coffee mugs? I share how in this episode as we dig deeper into CliftonStrengths, the assessment developed when this question was asked…
“What if we studied what was right with people versus what was wrong with people?”
Plus I dig into each of the Relating strengths, the strengths my clients most often wish they didn’t have…But should & eventually do appreciate. In this episode, I share why.

24. Life Is An Epic Adventure with Steve Fredlund (AKA The Safari Dude)
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
A truly fun & relatable discussion between a recovering accountant & a recovering actuary, my new lifelong friend, Steve Fredlund…AKA The Safari Dude.
Steve & I discuss his journey from incredibly successful, yet unfulfilled actuary, to multi-passionate visionary, keynote speaker, best-selling author, & leader of African safaris.
For ten years, Steve’s journey included two parallel paths: a good life that was becoming increasingly unfulfilling, and humanitarian trips to east Africa that ended on safari. Like chocolate and peanut butter, Steve’s research into happiness and his experiences leading African adventures blended into something remarkable. He discovered the “Big 5” factors that impact both, becoming the foundation of his approach to life, work, & leadership. “The Safari Way” has become a movement increasing the happiness & success of people around the world.
Additionally, Steve is the best-selling author of the hysterical & incredibly relatable book, Do the Unright Thing: Memoir of a People Pleaser…which I encourage you to buy immediately right here.
In this episode, Steve & I discuss:
His history of doing the “right” thing as defined by others
His realization that he was living someone else’s life, & his journey of figuring out who he really was & what he wanted to do in this world
His “throwing up in his trombone” moment & request to be homeschooled
The awkward moments that cause us to question our adequacy as humans
The TEDx fail that ultimately led to two successful TEDx presentations & his keynote speaking career
The processing speed of actuaries & accountants relative to others
Permission to speak
The exhaustion of trying to “fit in” where we don’t truly belong
His invitation to start seeing our day-to-day experiences as part of our epic, safari-like adventure
The importance of having the right peeps in your jeep
Doing the “unright” thing, even as a people pleaser
My new offer…being in the front row at speaking gigs
