I have A LOT of takeaways from the The Learning Guild Learning and HR Solutions Conference this week including if you are going to play Trivial Pursuit, you want Clark Quinn on your team. But my biggest takeaway? My entire career we’ve been talking about and around the same issue…what’s the organization issue? and what’s the best solution to that issue? How do we get to that spot that we ask first, what’s going on and how do we solve it? Why do we keep jumping to new tools and ideas and skipping the question “what’s the problem? “ If we can figure that one out I think we will change worlds. ------- Edited to add that everything is better with a Johanna (Joanie) Musser M.A. cake pop on it! Image Description: A stack of learning related books with a colorful cake pop with ribbon sitting on top.

People work to earn an income, achieve career goals, deliver results, and other rewarding reasons. There is also a deeper need for meaningful #connection with one another. Work is not the only place for connection. But it is one in which many of us spend a significant portion of our time. Today, I got to facilitate an engaging and powerful conversation with various colleagues at T-Mobile about #codeswitching and #belongingness. The conversation was empowered by the brilliant Kim Berney-Brooke, founder and belongingness coach at Uneven Surfaces (https://lnkd.in/empXj5Bd). I am blessed in that I get to co-create a courageous and safe space for conversations in which people may connect, learn, and be encouraged to show up as their whole selves and empower others to do so, too. I wish I could bottle up the resonance from today's conversation and share it with everyone I know. Some of my key learnings (and re-learnings): - Code-switching can be helpful but also cognitively taxing 🧠 - Belonging is an action; belongingness is a climate in which people can feel safe and belong 💡 - Belongingness is a fundamental human need ❤️ - Every day, through big and small actions, I can build a sense of belongingness around me 🤲🏾 Kim, thank you for sharing your expertise on belongingness, combining organizational psychology, neuroscience, and your experience in organizations. The work you do makes a difference at work and in the world. #Leaders and #HumanResourcesProfessionals, if you want to see more creativity, innovation, and collaboration in your organization, I highly recommend you see Kim. I am confident that Kim is the expert you want to help you and your team up-skill on cultivating belongingness.

As the workplace evolves beyond brick-and-mortar establishments, the concept of professionalism is also evolving. In Episode 6 of The Mindful Midlife Crisis, I had the pleasure of talking to Maurice Buchanan and Daleco James, owners of WURK Gym in Hopkins, Minnesota.  Maurice and Daleco shared their unique perspectives on authenticity, flexibility, and future aspirations. Their insights are not only refreshing but also thought-provoking, pushing us to reconsider what it truly means to be professional. Embracing Authenticity in Professionalism Maurice and Daleco redefine what it means to be professional in their field. They describe themselves as "professional chameleons," meaning they maintain professionalism without conforming to traditional dress codes and norms. By wearing casual attire and incorporating hip hop culture into their gym environment, they emphasize that true professionalism comes from knowledge, experience, and authenticity, not just appearances. This approach highlights the importance of being genuine and comfortable in one's professional identity, regardless of societal expectations. The Concept of Lane Changing Maurice introduces the idea of being a "lane changer" as a critical role in their careers. This concept involves breaking free from conventional limitations and exploring diverse opportunities beyond the traditional scope of their industry. For example, they envision using their gym space for various events, such as concerts or art shows, thereby diversifying their business model. This flexibility not only allows them to adapt and innovate but also ensures resilience against market fluctuations. It underscores the value of versatility and creative thinking in entrepreneurship. The Future Aspirations and Personal Growth Looking ahead, Maurice and Daleco reflect on their future roles, particularly emphasizing fatherhood, lane changing, and professional chameleonism. Maurice, a new father, hopes to embrace this role as his son gets older. Both men aim to continue evolving in their professional lives, adapting to new challenges, and maintaining their unique approach to professionalism. These aspirations illustrate the ongoing journey of personal and professional growth, highlighting the importance of setting future goals and continually striving for improvement. Listening to their story made me reflect: How often do we constrain ourselves to traditional definitions of professionalism? Are we open to exploring new lanes in our careers? Maurice and Daleco’s journey is a testament to the power of authenticity and flexibility. It’s a call to action for all of us to rethink our professional paths, embrace our true selves, and remain open to new opportunities. #Professionalism #Authenticity #Flexibility #Entrepreneurship #PersonalGrowth #WorkplaceEvolution #Innovation #MindfulMidlifeCrisis #FutureGoals #CareerDevelopment

What a great article illustrating the very thing we’re exploring in the Trauma Informed Coaching & Consulting certification program with Thomas Huebl and Amy Elizabeth Fox this year. Undigested trauma creates a certain flavor of leader, who then creates a certain kind of toxic organization. Fragmented, full of triangulation, backstabbing, toxic demands, gossip-filled, unable to address conflict, or listen to each other. Among so many other toxic qualities. Perhaps we’ve all at one time or another been in orbits like this, and suffered from the toxic effects. (I know I have!) I love that the author in the end gains insight, and moves toward trauma healing. This is the critical work of our time, I believe. Creating organizations where people heal, thrive, amd flourish.

In a Replenish workshop recently a teacher shared that they had resisted engaging with the content because they were focused on the big problems and crisis in the world. She made reference to the immigrant crisis that has had a tremendous impact on Denver schools and to the war in the Gaza. Certainly these are two giant and heart breaking issues. And this teacher cares tremendously about kids and people everywhere. What struck me was that she had made up somewhere along the way that she couldn’t be well until others were also well. In fact, our individual wellbeing is generative. It’s from our own sense of safety, security, connection to goodness and possibility that we fully step into our power to impact and transform local and global outcomes. We need well leaders. We need well teachers. In our lifetimes and in our history books it’s easy to spot when a global crisis was met by an angry, disregulated, fearful response. It wasn’t peace and freedom that followed, it was punishment and control. It’s time to figure out how to lead from peace, clarity, and inspiration. We’ve tried it the other way and the result is burnout and disillusionment. Just the other day a dear friend who is a principal texted me all the principal vacancies in her district. It was a lot! Try this mantra. See how you feel. And if you’re ready for a bigger step to claim your wellbeing in leadership, join me on retreat this June 19th-21st. It’s three days dedicated to educational leaders who want to rest, reconnect, and return to the work with a clear sense of possibility. All info is at this link:

#whatsyourthing? Authenticity. It’s that special spark that makes us who we are. So, what’s your thing? Last week at the Advanced Learning Partnerships, Inc Summit, Dean and I bonded over this question. Is it your Funky Tie Tuesday? Or maybe it’s your passion for bringing teams together in workshops? Perhaps it’s your knack for sharing the perfect meme in the Zoom chat? For me, it’s all about my faith, fashion, and learning! It’s what makes me unique and keeps me grounded. I've found that my showing up how I do has empowered others to do the same. I want to celebrate YOU and YOUR thing! Let’s light up LinkedIn with the quirks, passions, and little habits that make us, us. Share your thing in the comments, and let’s create a thread full of joy, individuality, and inspiration. After all, our authenticity is our superpower! P.S. Dean, here’s that other pair of funky glasses! #whatsyourthing #authenticity #beyou
