Keeping It Real with Jac and Ral – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We often take on a lot… more than we should which is stressful.

 

So Ral shares a fascinating concept from Harvard when it comes to better prioritising what we take on. It’s called the water we carry and she talks us through a great exercise you can do to help you manage your daily life.

 

Jac could feel something in her waters… Ral told her it was more than likely the great wine offer she could get from Wild Duck Creek Estate which is exclusive to our Keepers.

 

What we water, grows…Enjoy Keepers!

88% of people feel extremely valued when given a compliment… yet 70% of us feel embarrassed or uncomfortable giving and receiving compliments.

 

Enter Pookie! And Tony, Phil, Wes and Digger… our characters in this episode.

 

Find out the impact of giving a compliment at work – and why we should get more deliberate in handing them out.

 

But equally important is how you receive a compliment. It’s very simple but often not done well. We teach you in this episode how to give and receive compliments and what a complisult is and why you should never offer one

Does everyone at your work agree with you all the time?

Do they also laugh at your jokes regularly?

 

If the answer to these two questions are ‘yes’ and you’re a senior leader, more senior than those agreeing and laughing… you might want to listen to this podcast.

 

Success delusion. The higher we move up the organisational ladder, the more our employees let us know how wonderful we are. And we all want to hear what we want to hear.

 

We want to believe those great things “the world’ is telling us about ourselves. Our belief in ourselves helps us become successful. It can also make it very hard for us to change.

Find out who don’t find Jac & Ral’s jokes funny, and who they both turn to for the ‘real story’ about their success (or not). There are many tips in this podcast to help you identify if you suffer from success delusion and what to do to change.

Critical Thinking. Creativity. Collaboration. Communication.

 

Once upon a time you’d be taught reading, writing and arithmetic which was helpful but not enough… especially when it came to entering the workforce!

 

Today we need to learn differently and we need to know more in order to achieve in life and as leaders at work. The 4 C’s are a framework to broaden your mind, help you solve problems, learn more and articulate what you know and don’t know.

 

Asking great questions to broaden your mind. Listening to different perspectives. Recognising when you are at your most creative and identifying the power of collaboration (with who and for what) can set you up for big success.

 

Jac added a 5th C… coaching! And Ral added a 6th C… Chardonnay! Whatever helps you critically think, be more creative, collaborate and communicate, we think is worthy of being included.

At any given moment you are in control of how the story ends. Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it.

It was a beautiful day and then it could have gone to sh*t… but I didn’t let it. Because we all have a choice… a choice about our attitude.

 

Perspective is everything and so is a good memory! Ral reminds us of the FISH training program from the 90’s and 2000’s which had 4 philosophies for creating positivity - and she remembered all of them!  

In this episode, we reveal how Rhonda from the FBI had to choose her attitude – it was a switchboard moment, why sulking doesn’t work (especially in marriage!) and justification of your bad behaviour is not okay so self check because everyone has the power to choose their attitude.

Learn the art of questions to gain a career advantage.

 

Do you ask (enough) questions?

 Most of us don’t and it’s holding us back. We need to ask more and better questions so we can deepen our knowledge, challenge beliefs, uncover new opportunities and be considered a curious and intelligent leader.

 

In this episode, Jac reveals the key to asking great questions and she shares a story about her and Jimmy Barnes… Ral comes up with a genius invention (who wants to invest??) which could be a game changer for more women speaking up and asking questions!

Would you go to the opening of a wound?? If so, maybe you have FOMO!

Do you experience the Fear of Missing Out…Or maybe you embrace the Joy of Missing Out?

 

Which ever one it is, you can learn from both these acronyms born out of social media. Jac did some research and learned there are 2 processes to FOMO, both are a bit sad… so it’s good to be aware when you get FOMO, and then make a decision based on what really drives  you.

 

They say comparison is the thief of joy. And even Genius’s like Ral can get FOMO – listen in to hear when this happened and how this experience has made her likely to embrace JOMO in the future.

Imagine if someone came up to you and gave you the title GENIUS. And you had to just own it.

You would be more reluctant to self censor, you would be more confident to speak up and act, you would demand more from others and yourself. You would dare more, learn more and commit more.

SIGN US UP!

Listen in to really understand the true meaning of the word Genius. It has nothing to do with academia or intellect... Thank you Romans! The genius lives in all of us so we tell you how to unlock your inner genius – it happened to Ral at Harvard, it happened to Sid the Sloth in Ice Age… and it can happen to YOU.  

 

Maybe you need to write yourself a letter to fear…

They create legends. And we create keepers!

“They”… are the team at Eleven Madison Park (EMP), one of the world’s top restaurants who we are a bit fascinated with. Not because this restaurant is fancy, and not because it is in one of our favourite cities in the world, New York, but because the leadership at EMP believes in the remarkable power of giving people MORE than they expect.

 

In today’s episode we talk about a fabulous book we are both reading which inspired this episode, called “Unreasonable Hospitality” written by previous EMP co-owner Will Guidara, which is all about the psychology of others, and creating experiences people NEVER forget.

 

We talk about leadership, service, creativity and most of all the acts of generosity and surprise and delight that everyone can adopt in order to be remembered. Ral shares a few great stories of her dining experience recently at EMP and as always we share tips on how you can also deliver on more than what is expected every day in your life, so your brand is also remembered.

Enjoy Keepers!

This episode could be a coaching session to ourselves… we both could talk under water and we’ve never met a microphone we didn’t like but that doesn’t mean we should keep talking. In fact we need to remind ourselves regularly to shut the f**k up! If you find you talk too much when it comes to interviews, public speaking or presenting, when introducing others or in meetings then it’s time you learned a few tips and techniques on how to stop talking too much. There are many reasons why you might talk too much – You love attention? You’re an extravert? You’re nervous or excited? You lack self awareness? You have an ego and an opinion… whatever it is, you need to get a handle on it and shut the f**k up! We share what we know works like seeking feedback, looking for cues, the power of the pause, having empathy for others and essentially how to NOT be a conversation narcissist. Enjoy Keepers!
