Leaders today are being called to do more than ever - increasing complexity, constant change, and growing uncertainty. Many are noticing that the conventional leadership wisdoms we've been taught are no longer effective in today's evolving workplace.
These times call for a modern way to lead - one that works within reality, instead of arguing with it.
This podcast features Alex Dorr, CEO of Reality-Based Leadership sharing his latest insights from his speaking engagements across the world. Sometimes it may be audience questions that sparked great discussion, new ideas or techniques to address sources of drama or even, off the cuff topics from the amazing conversations after keynotes.
Work can be effortless and teams can be drama-free. Each 15-20 minute episode will show you how to make it happen.

S4E6: Hope Makes A Comeback
We are certainly heading towards some pleasure, some decadence. Many predict something similar to the roaring 20’s that followed the Spanish flu pandemic – pleasure does most certainly follow pain but the two are kindred spirits in the same cycle that is predictable and always returns to pain – why?
S4:E5 Self Reflection
Feelings have good information – goal is to experience them completely. Important for leaders to develop the ability to hold space for people to share their experiences AND important for individuals to learn to self-regulate and take ownership for their own feelings and their own emotional experience.
S4E3: Breaking Projection
This week we break down Projection and how it is showing up in our hybrid workplaces. We need to change the way in which we are having conversations and managing our energy to open up the opportunity for the BIG conversations that will determine how we move forward. Join me as we work through the Thinking Inside-The-Box Tool as well.
Challenges and Coping with Covid ft. Jacqueline Anderegg, LCMSW
Uncertainty and ambiguity are universally difficult mind states for all human beings that inevitably produce stress, anxiety, and fear. If this is pervasive in the culture, we are all affected. It is pervasive now.
Join me as I discuss these challenges and more with Jacqueline Anderegg, LCMSW.
What We Mean When We Talk About "Trust"
When I hear people talk about trust in the workplace, I get concerned because we make it sound like something we can create for another. But that leaves us dependent on other people and creates situations where people end up waiting to be offered something. When you say there is a lack of trust in your organization, is it due to leadership or due to your own choices? That's what I want to get into today. Whether or not you trust someone has a lot to do with you.
