How to Motivate and Inspire

Épisode 261

jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 20:47

After a leader turns around the performance of one of his direct reports, he and his coach explore how it happened. And how to make it stick.

Core ideas in the episode:

Workplaces improve when positive feedback is present
Our natural human negative bias is a barrier to giving positive feedback.
Learn to notice when things go well.
Tell people how they are helping solve the puzzle that is work.
Research says the most effective feedback ratio is 4-to-1, positive to developmental.

Positive Feedback might sound like this:

Recognize what’s going well – and be specific
Appreciate how it’s helping solve the puzzle
Express your thanks

Developmental Feedback might sound like this:

Describe what happened – and be specific
Explain how it affects the puzzle solving effort
Express your hope for a different outcome

How to Guarantee Psychological Safety

Épisode 260

jeudi 2 octobre 2025 • Durée 22:44

A toxic boss destroys psychological safety on her team. One of her direct reports talks to his coach about how to survive. And how to keep his own team safe.

Core ideas in the episode:

Don’t take other people’s bad behavior personally.
You are not a victim. You have choice.
Document repeated bad behavior.
Openly discussing mistakes without blame creates safety on a team.
As the leader, be willing to admit your own mistakes.
Ask people: “How do you think that went?” and “What could we do differently?” Then listen without debate or rebuttal.

Acting on the Corporate Stage

jeudi 7 septembre 2017 • Durée 23:25

This month's episode introduces "Acting on the Corporate Stage." That phrase was Tom's original branding phrase, before "The Look & Sound of Leadership" became his branding phrase.

"Acting on the Corporate Stage" aims at helping you be perceived in the workplace the way you want to be perceived, which, of course, is the reason d'etre of every episode.

Also this month, Tom shares reflections on attending his first-ever podcaster's convention. And his reflections are all about YOU!

He also points you to two very different interviews on other podcasts:

The Everyday Innovator with Chad McAllister, episode 137. He and Chad deconstruct the "Sorting & Labeling" tool. Very helpful!

Fatherhood 360 with David Wissore, episode 11. While exploring how parenthood influences leadership, Tom reveals some very personal stories.

The four related episodes this month are:
Act “As If”
Creating New Behaviors
Self-Awareness and Self-Management
The Mindful Executive

Performing Like a TED Talker

jeudi 3 août 2017 • Durée 16:35

Delivering a top-notch presentation requires you to master your ideas. Of course! But even more, you need to master yourself. Your audience won’t be able to lock onto you unless you are “in focus.” This month’s coaching conversation shows you how to get “in focus.”

Prepping Like A TED Talker

jeudi 13 juillet 2017 • Durée 17:21

Preparing a presentation raises many questions. How much are you going to rehearse? What will you actually do during your rehearsal? Are you going to memorize your talk? This month’s coaching conversation covers all that and more.

Four core concepts this month:

Rehearsal is obligatory.
Manage your self-talk.
Find your throughline.
Rehearsal means “out loud.”

In the archive is a whole set of Tips about “self talk.” It’s at:

Short Sounds Confident

jeudi 1 juin 2017 • Durée 17:07

Holding each other’s attention is a constant challenge. But you can’t achieve The Look & Sound of Leadership if you can’t keep people listening to you.

This month’s coaching conversation emphasizes three little slogans to make sure you aren’t driving your listeners away from you. All three slogans are just three words long: “Short sounds confident.” And “Communication takes effort.” And “Stop talking sooner.”

There are so many reasons why embodying those slogans is hard. And, in truth, it’s easier for some people than for others. But everyone can get at least a little better at this. This month’s podcast will give you lots of practical tips – and some metaphors!—to help get you there.

Talking Like a TED Talker

jeudi 4 mai 2017 • Durée 18:32

TED Talkers turn us into engrossed detectives, absorbed in solving the mysteries unfolding before us. But TED Talking doesn’t have to be saved for special events. This month’s coaching conversation explores ways to turn everyday presentations into compelling content that will hold people's interest ... like a TED Talk.

If you're crafting an actual TED Talk, use Chris Anderson's terrific book: "TED Talks."

I have a nifty 3-page reduction of Anderson's book. Reach out to me at info@essentialcomm.com and I'll send it along.

The Voice of Authority

jeudi 6 avril 2017 • Durée 17:54

Authority. It’s a slip-sliding sort of thing, isn’t it? Do we get it automatically along with a title? Sometimes. But sometimes not. This month’s coaching conversation examines both the thoughts and the words that give us authority.

The ideas in this month's episode echo motifs embedded in many other episodes. Just a few related Executive Coaching Tips are:
