Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 240: The “Kudos Folder” Mindset: Owning What You’ve Achieved with "Unapologetic" Author, Nicole Stephenson
Q: How can listeners combat self-doubt and recognize their achievements?
Practice using a kudos folder, collect verifiable metrics of success, seek feedback from mentors, and surround yourself with people who inspire you rather than competing negatively; celebrate genuine progress.
Episode 240: The “Kudos Folder” Mindset: Owning What You’ve Achieved with "Unapologetic" Author, Nicole Stephenson
Q: What does it mean to be unapologetic in professional life, and how do you apply that without crossing lines?
Being unapologetic is about staying true to your morals and values, seeking authenticity, and avoiding compromising core principles for others, all while maintaining respect for others; it's not a license to be disrespectful.
Episode 233: The Art of Rising: Finding Resilience Through Creativity with Pia Mailhot-Leichter
Q: What would you say to someone who doesn't feel creative to help them access that part of their life?
Start by reframing creativity as a design act in life itself, not just art; slow down, look for small scenes you can direct in daily life, and treat the life design as a creative project. This shift makes creativity accessible to everyone and demonstrates that you are already directing your life continually.
Episode 233: The Art of Rising: Finding Resilience Through Creativity with Pia Mailhot-Leichter
Q: How do you work with businesses and make collaboration a core part of the creative process?
Partnership is key; there is no lone creative genius. Teams should create a safe ideation space where all ideas are welcome, then use structured evaluation to connect ideas to business objectives while keeping egos at the door. This collaborative mode helps unlock more innovative outcomes than trying to work in isolation.
Episode 233: The Art of Rising: Finding Resilience Through Creativity with Pia Mailhot-Leichter
Q: So is there a part of this where you have to continually give yourself permission to be creative? And you used one of my favorite words, play.
Yes. Creativity is a practice, not a destination, and you have to keep showing up to let go of judgment, allow the space for ideas to come, and remind yourself that the stage of 'sucking' is a normal, essential part of growth that leads to better work later.
