Key Points:   You must first learn to lead yourself before you can lead other people, other teams or organizations.   Enlightened principles have been around for 2500 years, but we can incorporate them and draw inspiration from them in our modern workplace.   There is an opportunity to move beyond our own self-interest and start to recognize places for compassion, mindfulness and wisdom in today’s leadership.   Author Bio: Matt is a father, a leadership expert and “The Godfather of Talent Optimization”.

Why aren’t financial planning conversations more inclusive to women?   What do wealth and financial security mean to you and how do you bring them into your life?   On this episode of the Creator community, you’ll learn how to discover and align with your goals and your WHY, to create the life you want today and the future you want tomorrow.   Key Points:   Looking to the future, discovering where you want your money to end up, how you want to spend your time and your life can help lead you to how to use and invest your money today.   Oftentimes in a household, one partner is in charge of daily spending while the other makes many of the long-term financial decisions.

What happens when soldiers who survived overseas military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan come home?    We might believe that once they get home, everything will be fine. Life will go on like it was before the war, back to normal. That’s what the soldiers thought, and that’s what their spouses and families thought. The reality is different because war changes everything.   What keeps our most important relationships working?   On this episode of The Creator Community, we’ll hear of the stories of couples that have found a way to effectively navigate the challenges of military deployments.   There is no 1 solution but you’ll learn common themes, especially resilience, that help to keep military couples together and that we can all learn from.   Key Points: Any marriage has its difficulties, but a military marriage has a different set of diffuculties. Not only does one have their responsibilities to their family, but also the duties and responsibilities that have been taken on for the country.   Though oftentimes only one partner is deployed, both partners make sacrifices for the military. Both have stories of strength, heartbreak, growth, and resilience.    Communication,connection and commitment are the keys to resiliency post deployment and a bulletproof marriage.   Author Bio: Briana S.

Are you frustrated with working virtually with your teams? What would you tell those that blame the system for their burnout? What does leadership really means to your daily work?   What does being more human mean? How can it benefit you, your career and others?   In this special panel episode of the Creator Community with 3 Doctors and now authors, we explore humanism and how we can bring more of it to our lives and positively impact those in our lives.   We will never live in a world without stress, systems, or people. It is the attitude we take in viewing these elements that make the difference in how we live each day.   When we see the world as a place of discovery and learning, we connect more deeply with others and ultimately become more human.   Key Points: Leadership is not about the leaders, it is about the people you lead. Humanize the process and reconnect with yourself and others to bring out the best in everyone.    Goals start your journey, grit is required for the journey, and growth is the result of your journey.   The future of the workplace isn’t just technology. The future of the workplace is being a better human.   Author Bios   Dr. Miriam Zylberglait Lisigurski (Dr. Z) is a triple Board Certified Physician in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Obesity Medicine with extensive clinical and academic experience.

Is a world of inclusivity truly possible? How do we all get there?   In the episode of the Creator Community, we meet professor, executive coach, and author Jason Patent, who shares his views and mistakes on creating impactful inclusivity.   He openly shares he has not mastered inclusivity and has negatively impacted others in his life but knows we can do better.   As humans, if we acknowledge the challenges of inclusion and see this work as a lifelong journey of constant improvement, we will find a better path forward for all of us.    Key Points You already have what you need to create radically different workplaces and a radically different world. We can learn how to shift from our knee-jerk reactions and calmly respond and think collaboratively to allow everyone to shine.   Power amplifies the ability to do harm to others and makes it harder for us to see the impact of our negative actions towards others.   Historically, those with less power have been the ones who have had to adapt- this book flips that idea on its side and instead gives tips on how those with the power can actually adapt and give preference to those with less.   Author Bio Jason D. Patent, Ph.D., is father of 2, ultramarathon runner and the founder and principal at JP Global Lead LLC, and co-founder of BridgeLabs. He is an organizational leader, consultant, author, thought leader, instructor, and workshop facilitator in the fields of global leadership and global diversity, equity, and inclusion. A fluent speaker of Mandarin Chinese, Jason directed the Robertson Center for Intercultural Leadership (CIL) at U.C. Berkeley’s International House for seven years. Prior to that, he served as American Co-Director of the Hopkins–Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies in Nanjing, China; Inaugural Director of the Stanford Program in Beijing; Consultant at Gap International; and Vice President, Communications & Marketing at Orchestrall, Inc. 👋CONNECT WITH THE AUTHOR👋 Author: Jason D.
