John Robertson – Leadership Tools in Crisis

Download the Show Audio Here

Show Topic:

While companies would prefer to operate “crisis free,” such a goal is usually unobtainable.

 

The crisis could be small—a difficult employee who takes up significant time and energy and appears uncoachable—or a larger crisis—supply chain issues, recalls, active shooter situations.

 

The question, however, that should be asked is whether managers in the organization have the skills and resources to decrease crises before they occur (in addition to respond fully and efficiently when they do occur).

 

In this episode of HR Power Hour join host Tawny Alvarez while she discusses these issues and the tools that we can provide to managers to help them be more effective in crisis with John Robertson, workforce wellness expert and culture alignment specialist of FORTLOG Services, Inc.

About The Guest:

John Robertson is the Founder and President of FORTLOG Services. John built his services with a focus on an encouragement-based approach, resolving root causes as opposed to treating crisis and transition in the workplace symptomatically, as is often the practice. A trusted thinking partner with 30+ years of assisting individuals and organizations in managing all forms of crisis/ change, John leverages a values-anchored ethos as a leadership development specialist, helping organizations and individuals to define the new norm and thrive.

 

Over the years, John has gained extensive and diverse experiences working with Indigenous peoples [First Nations], first responders, small-medium businesses, nonprofits, churches, communities, municipalities, educational, health care, families, and EAPs. John’s qualifications include Conversational IQ™, psychological health and safety advisor, ICF coach, Resilient Leadership, crisis intervention instructor, numerous psychometric tools, Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist (CTTS), Certified grief counselor, and a Masters’s and Bachelors’s degree.

Show Topic:
Every day we wake up determined to engage with life—to overcome work challenges, finish that novel, reach fitness goals, or repair a strained relationship. Despite our best intentions, we fall short. Why is it so hard to finish what we start?

Reaching goals after repeated frustration starts with understanding the impulse known as the Swipe, a side effect of our high-tech culture.

In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with bestselling author, internationally recognized organizational psychologist, educator, CEO and Co Author Dr. Tracy Maylett of the new book Swipe: The Science Behind Why We Don’t Finish What We Start.

Listen and learn as we discuss how this mechanism works and how to short-circuit the Swipe, reengage, and finally finish what we start.

Carol Bowser – Conflict Management at Work

Download the Show Audio Here

Show Topic:
Have you ever heard a team member tell an employee to “calm down?” Has this ever resulted in the employee calming down, or instead does this simply escalate the situation?

While employers spend significant time on training managers on how to do their job or what employment laws require, very rarely do we see companies focusing on providing tools and resources for employees to manage conflict and de-escalate conflict at work.

On this episode of HR Power Hour, join co-host Tawny Alvarez as she talks to Carol Bowser, attorney and founder of Conflict Management Strategies as they discuss conflict management at work.

This episode will have important takeaways for all individuals who spend their day in a work environment engaging in any way (virtually and in person) with other people.

About The Guest:

Carol Bowser, J.D is a workplace conflict expert. After practicing Employment Law for several years, Carol founded Conflict Management Strategies when she realized a lawsuit can’t deliver the level of resolution and satisfaction that is gained when people are actively involved in creating solutions to their workplace conflict.

Carol’s clients come with a wide range of employers because conflict is universal across all industries and types of organizations. Where there are people, there is conflict. The key is to help people recognize and address conflict before it damages working relationships and creates organizational drag.

In her over 20 years of experience, she has discovered some universal themes about workplace conflict and loves to share how people at all levels can

strengthen their conflict resolution muscles.
