BB21-25 Bobby Albert & Values-Driven Leadership

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Bobby Albert, on air from June 21st

My name is Bobby Albert and I’ve spent the last 40+ years of my life, in business, around business, surviving business, and thriving in business.

A number of years ago, I had one of those light bulb, “aha” moments when I realized what I was truly all about.

I was sitting in a meeting with business leaders and entrepreneurs and we were talking about the tension between always being driven by bottom-line financial results and the desire to create a work culture where people enjoyed working and were able to grow to their fullest potential.

It was then I realized that “I want to be a Values-Driven company that achieves results; not a Results-Driven company that has values”.

You see, it had taken me years to figure out what my own values were and then figure out how to create a work place where everyone’s values were aligned with themselves, each other, and the overall values of the business.

As we implemented changes in our company and focused more on people and less on profits, an amazing thing happened: our profits increased.

Unexpectedly, we had business growth and success during some really rough times when others similar to us were struggling. As we looked at why we were doing well when others weren’t as fortunate, we realized that even though we had a great product, the difference came because we had invested in people.

We came up with principles, strategies, and implementation tools to intentionally create a culture that focused on our people and their skills and gifts. We invested in people, and they responded with work satisfaction, personal self-worth, and a willingness to “go the extra mile” for our company when it needed them most.

The experience, and the results were pretty extraordinary. But could this transformation be replicated in other organizations?

The good news is the answer is a resounding YES! In fact, the principles are universal. It’s how we applied them that created a culture where values made the difference.

And although I have a business degree, a lot of what I learned came directly from the “school of hard knocks” (an effective but costly teacher!).

RG21-24 Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, So Many Babies.

June 14, 2021January 26, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Susan Landers MD, on air form June 15th

Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, author of the new memoir So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career & Motherhood, will discuss the traumatic life and death choices many parents face when their sick or premature baby needs the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
In the United States nearly half a million babies are born preterm (before 37-weeks of pregnancy), have an illness, low birth weight (under 5.5 pounds), a multiple (twin/triplet), a major congenital malformation, or other critical care scenarios when admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Many of these children receive care and recover with the help of neonatologists and other specialists, and eventually leave the unit as healthy, thriving babies. However, for other babies who are extremely premature or those with an inoperable birth defect, there are traumatic and stressful times for parents – especially the moms – who are confronted with life and death choices for their babies.

In So Many Babies, Neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, shares the stories of the close relationships that NICU staff and parents develop during some of the most distressing times of their sick child(ren)’s lives. In addition, Dr. Landers’ memoir describes how the practice of neonatology shaped and influenced her life experience (So Many Babies: My Life Balancing A Busy Medical Career & Motherhood; publication date: May 4, 2021.

As a neonatologist for over thirty-five years and a mother to three of her own children, Dr. Landers describes how the full-time practice of neonatology influenced her experience as a mother. As a neonatologist, she survived and thrived during a lengthy NICU practice, and she relates her experiences of finding resilience and endurance, managing to postpone burnout until late in her career. The book describes many technological changes that she witnessed over decades in neonatal medicine and high-risk obstetrics, such as infertility treatments and multiple births. Also, her experience in the NICU is illustrated by many poignant life-and-death scenarios, including stories about complex, critically ill patients, and their worried parents, each one touching her life.

“Re: “I don’t see colour”

“We have to change the paradigm. I can be a person of colour and have value. You don’t have to strip me of my colour to help me rise in your regard.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t have a dream that suggested we not see colour in order to see the con- tent of character. Colour blindness implies judgment. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to make a point to not notice my skin. And not seeing colour can’t be the only way you see my value. I believe Dr. King was asking us to lean into both/and.”

“Turning in and away from results in “us and them” thinking, which leaves little to no room for building connection, creating opportunities for dialogue, to hear and be heard, or to really see the other and be seen. “

“Because we focus on either/or. And in an either/or world, someone has to win, and someone has to lose.”

“When we hold both/and, we have an entry point for a possibility, an acknowledgment, a conversation, without the weight of having to choose a side.”

“The goal of a both/and space is to move us away from polarization toward greater connection, seeing more, and ultimately, greater belonging—and change.”

“It’s when environments are inclusive, and employees feel a sense of belonging and systemic barriers are removed that companies reap the true benefits of di- verse representation. “

21-24 Putting Fear in its Place.

June 14, 2021April 6, 2023Sara Troy

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy on air from June 15th

FEAR, WE ARE SO CONDITIONED TO BE FEARFUL, THAT HALF THE TIME WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE ARE FEARFUL ABOUT.

Fear is necessary in times of danger, it serves us very well in telling us there is something to be fearful about. BUT, fear in our every day lives is crippling us and we only end up chasing shadows. Have you asked your fear why it is there? why it wished you to stop moving forward? why it holds you back? Maybe you can look at fear eye to eye and ask it to explain its self and justify its reason for holding on to you so hard.

I have known fear, real fear, and the fear of not being enough, not fitting in, of letting people down of never living up to everyone’s expectations, I know that fear, both fears very well. I had to have that conversation with fear, I had to face it and tell it that it could not control me anymore and that I needed to move on in wonderment, possibilities, and exploration.

Fear does have its place as a protector, but not as a dictator, and if we give it too much power it will take over and rule you in every way, then your life will be a string of excuses of why you can’t do anything instead of believing you can. We are so much more than we allow ourselves to be, so much more than we are told we are, and the only way to self-discovery is in the willingness to face that fear, discover our strengths, our incredible abilities, and see the possibilities that lay before us.

So even though your stomach is turning, you are shaking, even feeling sick, stand up, tune in to your divine senses and take that step forward, for when you do, again and again, you are telling fear where to go, and that you and the source energy is in charge and you are in the discovery of your true self and all the abilities you are here to share.
