Pivoting and self correction, piece of cake and the dessert of our 4 part series.

The entree of the 4 course meal. The key to emotional intelligence and my favorite coaching topic.

Part 2 of a 4-part series. Ted talks about intuition: what it is, what it isn't, and how to grow it as a skill. Intuition is a human skill that sets us apart from AI.
Ted starts a four-part series on why humans are better than AI, at least for now. Acknowledging these skills and working to improve them not only makes you better than a bot, but it also makes you a better human. "Judge well in complex or morally significant moments."

In this episode of Germ: An Idea in 90 Seconds, Ted talks about the word "Woke" and how he wants to reclaim it. #workingtobewoke

S2 E7 Germ: Search for the Guilty by Ted Tuerk

Ted discussed the concept of confession as a means of personal growth and creating a safe environment for open communication. He shared his idea of initiating conversations with "I confess" to acknowledge mistakes and take responsibility for their impact. Ted also mentioned interviews with Ta-nehisi Coates, Malcolm Gladwell, and Ryan Holiday, who shared their own confessions and reflections on their work and personal growth.

Ted discusses the idea of role reversal in team dynamics and encourages managers to try this approach to enhance empathy, build mutual understanding, and spark creativity. The speaker suggested asking team members for their insights and perspectives and specifically proposed the question, "What's the one thing about our processes or culture that slows down our progress?" Get out of your comfort zone and push boundaries in thinking and showing up for each other. He also mentioned the idea of having managers journal about their observations and reviewing feedback in an open forum.

Ted warned that season 3 might be a little more biting! Today's "Germ: an Idea in 90 Seconds" addresses bad behaviors, particularly bullying and intimidation. He highlighted specific examples of such behavior in society, including political figures, and emphasized the importance of calling out such behavior and supporting leaders who demonstrate integrity and compassion. Ted also encouraged individuals to model the behaviors they want to see in others. Support more content like this, or help with the legal defense fund?? https://venmo.com/VojoVentures

Ted emphasizes the importance of vulnerability in building connections, fostering innovation, and growing as a leader. He suggests simple ways to practice vulnerability, such as asking for help, offering help, admitting mistakes, and seeking feedback. Ted frames vulnerability as a human superpower that AI currently lacks, enabling authenticity and relationship-building. He encourages his clients to set boundaries while embracing vulnerability to stand out and get promoted.
