MYNDDCAST.LIVE, “PFEW now, more than EVER!”, Ep.30

Mark Burke — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 20:34:16 +0000

Join me and guest Scott Lee, VP of Marketing and Development, Foundation for Free Enterprise Education, along with 20 guest participants as we explore why now, more than ever, Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week (PFEW) is needed. PFEW is a one-of-a-kind summer program that offers in-coming high school juniors and seniors a unique and challenging opportunity to see what it is like to run their own business. Our conversation moved past WHAT the students do and focused on the WHY. I guide the group in applying the Conceptual Age Leadership THINKING mindset to influence the student’s SEEING (seeing reality as it is), BEING (aligning behaviors to reality), ACTING (creating for reality), and EXPRESSING (impacting reality). Now, more than ever, we need to think deeply about how we foster young minds. PFEW is well positioned to do this important work. To learn more about PFEW, visit https://pfew.org In 2018, I wrote Applying Thinking Patterns to Ethics Case Study Activity: Destructive Emotions Avoided, a review of the power of thinking on emotions at PFEW.

Social Distancing, Business Shifts, BIG CHANGES! Knowing ourselves & others to THRIVE, Ep.27

Mark Burke — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 13:29:37 +0000

The coronavirus has caused businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs, schools and hospitals, pretty much every segment of business to shift norms, ways of working and doing business. How we respond as organizations depends on how we as individuals unite, each with our unique combination of behaviors and attitudes. In this episode, we’ll explore what we know about behaviors and attitudes and how understanding these human traits helps us in times of dramatic change and how an organizational effort to grow our understanding of ourselves and others is a timely investment. There are many ways organizations are shifting. The themes include 1. Digital Transformation (Building new digital tools and services)2. Changing Delivery Modes (Schools, Restaurants, Health Clubs, Human Services)3. Ramping Down (Manufacturers, Hospitals, Entrepreneurs)4. Forced Closures (For compliance, for the safety of staff and those we serve) 5. Forced Continuance Planning (Maintaining business as usual) 6. Telework (The new reality for a significant percentage of our population)How do these shifts affect us, each with our own natural behaviors and attitudes toward new things, our environment, learning and others? Limited time, high risks, countless unknowns, little to no budget, a development cycle nightmare. The model of try-fail-iterate-try again can teach us much. Failure, the kind that pushes us to new answers, the act of building, getting feedback and making changes to products and services without high investment, while incredibly promising, pushes us to understand ourselves and others at a time when the stakes are high.

You know you need to create thinking time and space but how do you do that in a structured manner that leads to results.

MYNDDCAST Moments, Correct Solutions or Corrective Actions?

Mark Burke — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:37:17 +0000

Counting on the existence of proven, Correct Solutions can lead leaders to avoid taking on the development of Corrective Actions. While both have their place in a leader’s toolkit, it’s important to not get tied to always seeking only proven, Correct Solutions. Often, they simply don’t exist. Or, worse, counting on them holds back great innovation.
