How to Have Hard Conversations (Like a Hostage Negotiator!)

jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Durée 26:44

Hear Scott speak live at the Intentional Leader Summit on August 6th, 2025

Connect with Scott Tillema on Linkedin
Watch Scott's TED Talk: The Secrets of Hostage Negotiators
Recommended Book: Hostage at the Table by George Kohlrieser

Can you lead through conflict—even without trust? Scott Tillema shares hostage negotiation skills that every leader can use to navigate difficult conversations and rebuild trust at work.

What does a hostage negotiator know that can help you manage workplace conflict?

A lot, actually.

In this episode, I’m joined by keynote speaker and former SWAT negotiator Scott Tillema, who brings decades of real-world experience to the conversations leaders dread the most—those awkward, uncomfortable, or downright tense interactions we tend to avoid.

We talk about how to build connection fast (even when trust is gone), what it really means to lead with influence, and why courage—not confidence—is the skill you need to move forward.

And while most of us aren’t trying to talk someone down from a ledge, we are leading people—often without the clarity, tools, or language to move things in the right direction.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between avoiding conflict and wanting a better work culture, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

Why connection—not trust—is the real starting point for influence
How to coach team members through conflict without being the villain
What to say to shift someone from combative to collaborative

difficult conversations at work, workplace communication, leadership podcast
new manager tips, managing workplace conflict effectively, how to lead with influence
how to have hard conversations as a manager, conflict resolution strategies for leaders, how to build trust at work after it’s broken

9 Life Lessons to Cut Your Learning Curve in Half

jeudi 12 juin 2025 • Durée 22:25

Book List (Leadership, Personal Development, Parenting)
List of Assessments (Take DISC or Working Genius and get a free coaching debrief!)
Read the Book: Taking Intentional Action

These 9 life lessons aren’t in a textbook, but they should be. Whether you're a new grad, a new manager, or someone guiding the next generation, this episode helps you grow with purpose, confidence, and self-awareness.

Most of us don’t learn life’s biggest lessons in high school, college, or even from a mentor.
We learn them through awkward conversations, missed opportunities, and figuring it out one hard moment at a time.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever typed “life advice for new graduates,” “how to be more confident,” or “personal development tips” into a search bar. I’m walking you through 9 things I wish someone had told me at 18 (and again at 28).

These are hard-earned lessons about identity, emotional intelligence, self-leadership, confidence, and growing into the kind of person others want to follow. Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role or mentoring someone who is, this episode gives you practical tools to become more self-aware, make better decisions, and build resilience before life forces you to.

It’s everything I wish had been taught in the common sense class we never got.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll learn:

How to build confidence through action instead of waiting for it to appear
What it means to frontload your life so you’re ready when things get hard
Why self-awareness is the most underrated leadership skill
How to mentor young adults without judgment or frustration
The mindset shift that changed everything for me: you’re responsible to people, not for them

The Superpower You Have, But You're Not Using

Épisode 88

jeudi 13 mars 2025 • Durée 19:34

Not everyone loves networking. Maybe you’re not a fan of small talk, maybe you feel like you never get anything out of it, or maybe you just don’t see the point. But here’s the reality, whether you love it or hate it, in-person networking is one of the most powerful ways to grow your career, build influence, and open new opportunities. And the best part? You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room or work the entire crowd for it to work for you.

In this episode, I break down three reasons you can’t afford to ignore in-person networking and how to make it work for you—without it feeling forced or transactional.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why my first management job was a disaster—until I got out of the office.✔️ How getting involved with the right groups can fast-track your opportunities.✔️ The mindset shift that will make networking feel natural instead of awkward.✔️ Why your presence matters more than just showing up.✔️ How executive presence plays a major role in your networking success.

Mentioned in This Episode:

📖 Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi – A must-read on building authentic relationships that create opportunities.

📢 Quote by John Burton Adams:

“There is no such thing as a self-made man. We are made up of thousands of others; everyone who has ever done a good deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement, has entered into the makeup of our character, our thoughts as well as our success.”

🔹 My quote:

“Your experiences can only rise to the level of energy that you bring to them.”

How To Establish a Feedback Culture That Builds Trust Instead of Destroying It | Jen Recla

Épisode 83

vendredi 7 mars 2025 • Durée 29:07

Feedback can feel awkward, whether you’re giving it, receiving it, or wondering if it’s even worth it when nothing seems to change. But without a strong feedback culture, your team won’t grow, and you’ll keep running into the same issues. Today, Jen Recla is back to break down what psychological safety actually looks like at work, how to make feedback feel useful instead of personal, and the biggest mistakes leaders make when trying to create an open culture.

Ever asked for feedback, only to hear crickets? Or worse, your team gives input, but nothing changes? That’s a fast track to disengagement, and today we’re talking about why.

In this episode, Jen Recla joins me to break down what it really means to build a psychologically safe workplace, one where people feel comfortable speaking up without fear of judgment or backlash.

We’re covering:

✅ Why candor is not the first step in building trust, it’s actually the result✅ How to get useful feedback from your team (instead of vague, unhelpful responses)✅ The biggest mistake leaders make after asking for feedback—and how to fix it✅ Why anonymous feedback can backfire if you haven’t built trust first✅ The simple framework for giving meaningful recognition that actually lands

Plus, we discuss why some companies avoid using Radical Candor (and what to do instead), how to navigate negative feedback without spiraling, and why your team stops giving feedback if they don’t see action.

Key Takeaways:

Feedback isn’t just about asking, it’s about acting on it so your team knows it matters.
If you don’t have a psychologically safe workplace, anonymous feedback might not give you the full picture, it could just open the floodgates.
Recognition isn’t one-size-fits-all. Learning how your team prefers to receive praise makes it more impactful.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll learn:✔️ Why “I don’t have time” is a lie, and what it really means✔️ How to transition from task execution to leadership without burnout✔️ Practical strategies to set boundaries and protect your time

How to Finally Hold Yourself Accountable (Without Relying on Motivation)

Épisode 81

jeudi 27 février 2025 • Durée 23:44

We all know holding others accountable is tough, but what about holding ourselves accountable? Life has a way of getting in the way, making it hard to stick to our goals. In this episode, we’re talking about why self-accountability is so challenging and the strategies you can use to finally follow through.

Have you ever set a goal, felt motivated at first, and then watched it slip through your fingers as life got in the way? Maybe you’ve tried time blocking, accountability partners, or even sheer willpower—but none of it seems to stick.

Here’s the truth: Self-accountability is one of the hardest things to master because no one is watching. You can make excuses, shift priorities, and let things slide without immediate consequences. But over time, it adds up, leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck.

In this episode, we’re diving into:✔️ The real reason we struggle with self-accountability✔️ How to shift from motivation-based action to discipline-based action✔️ The "accountability mirror" method and how to use it effectively

By the time you finish listening, you’ll learn:

How to identify what’s truly stopping you from reaching your goals
A powerful shift that makes accountability feel easier
Why setting smaller, adaptable habits is more effective than rigid time blocking

Struggling with self-accountability? I’d love to hear from you! Send me a message on LinkedIn at Desiree Petrich and let me know what challenge you’re working through. Let’s tackle it together.

Épisode 75

jeudi 13 février 2025 • Durée 27:10

Becoming a manager for the first time can feel overwhelming. You think you should have all the answers, but instead, you’re second-guessing everything. I know because I’ve been there. In this episode, I share the biggest mistakes I made when stepping into leadership at 24 and what I wish I had known to make the transition easier.

Have you ever felt like you have no idea what you’re doing as a leader?

Most first-time managers struggle with imposter syndrome, micromanagement tendencies, and feeling like they need to prove themselves. When I became a manager at 24, I thought leadership meant fixing every problem myself and making sure my team liked me. Instead, I burned myself out, made my team frustrated, and didn’t gain the respect I was hoping for.

This episode is all about the leadership mistakes I made so you don’t have to.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

The biggest mistakes I made as a first-time manager and what I should have done differently
