Create Magic At Work®

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Tim Cakir, a Growth Consultant who helps companies, entrepreneurs, and students achieve fast and consistent growth. I’m so excited to have Tim on the show, we connected through mutual friends and I instantly knew I had to invite him to talk about how to include everyone on your team because that’s what Create Magic At Work is all about! 

Tim is a tool addict, so we start off by talking about brainstorming tools he recommends and how to use them to create a common technological space when the idea sparks. Tim explains what is collective intelligence, why should leaders care about it, and how to use it to their advantage so everyone on the team can benefit from it.  Tune in as we talk about the difference between data-informed and data-driven leaders and how to hold big leaders to account in making sure that they are being good leaders.

In this episode, we discuss:

• A new perspective on how to make everyone on your team feel included
• Tools for effective brainstorming sessions
• Tim’s ideas around tapping into the collective intelligence of your team
• Why being data-informed is better than being data-driven

Resources from this episode:

• Brainstorming tools Tim recommends:
  • Confluence by Atlassian
  • Notion 
  • Evernote

In this episode, I’m joined by Brian McComak, the founder of Hummingbird Humanity. Brian started Hummingbird Humanity as an initiative to bring humanity back to the workplace.  Brian shares his wisdom on how to bring a new approach to the workplace, so you can support your employees emotionally, make them feel seen and heard, help them thrive, and feel more like their authentic selves at work. 

Tune in as Brian gives tips on how to get started on bringing humanity back to the workplace and the concepts to use so you can become a better servant leader.

Quote from the episode:
"So I said, I'm going to try something different, and see if I can be one of those humans, who is challenging the ways that we think about creating workplaces. That's what I get to do now. My hope is that I am making a difference for certainly at least one person, but hopefully lots of people, and how they lead, how they manage and how workplaces are embracing and creating spaces where everyone can thrive. Particularly, those who have been historically most marginalized and underrepresented in the workplace." - Brian McComak

Do you hold yourself back from being your authentic self at work for fear of being judged?

Join Amy and Maya in this episode as they discuss authenticity at work and the role a gender dominated environment can have on our experience. 

Maya has been in a leadership role for over ten years in corporate America as well as small startups. She feels extremely passionate about leading women and has found great success in her career. She has worked in corporate retail, startups, and the event production space for most of her career. Maya’s goal is to assist in creating successful individuals and that is different for every direct report. Maya takes traditional leadership thoughts and concepts and pushes them even further. She translates these concepts to speak to women who are aspiring leaders or leaders who want to grow. Maya currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Jackson, who is a Chef and her three dogs. When she isn’t speaking passionately about women in leadership and empowerment, she likes to volunteer at the humane society, meditate, drink an awesome glass of wine, taste test her husband’s food, do yoga or travel somewhere new.

In this episode, Amy and Maya discuss:

• How working in a masculine dominated environment at the start of her corporate career affected her. 
• The difference Maya felt when she moved into a more feminine workplace.
• Insights into what might be holding you back from showing up as your authentic self at work.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Actionable tips to help you sit less in the workplace 

Quote from the show - ‘‘If you have a job that requires you to have good creative and/or decision making skills, you need to be able to get up and move. When you sit for more than 30 minutes, at about that 30 minute mark, you have less blood flowing to your brain, This means you're not able to make as many good decisions. At about the one to two hour mark, we increase the amount of errors that we make in creative tasks by 50%.’’. -  Dr. Stefan Zavalin

Do you vent to your partner or to other close relationships in your life about work? You may think this is harmless. After all, you’re just letting off some steam but it could have a long term affect on your relationship.

Raven Shamballa is a Master Energy Healer, a spiritual counselor and senior yoga teacher for over 25 years. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and is formerly a marriage and family therapist. She has a unique perspective on psychological disorders and believes that clearing the energy body of discordant energy can heal most psychological ailments. Raven has authored four books and her most notable title is the 100 Chakra System, An Introduction to Negative Energy Release Work.  

The 100 Chakra System book describes an expanded perception of the energy body up to 100 Chakras, and discusses different types of negative energies that can invade the chakra system.  Her other titles are 10 Cosmic Dimension, A Spiritual Guidebook to Ascension, 3 Pendulum Languages, and 7 Primary Chakra System.

Join Amy and Raven in this episode as they delve into how bringing your work home can affect personal relationships. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• How to make the shift from the workplace to home life at the end of the day
• Why you should limit how long you vent to your partner 
• How leaders can reframe employee complaints into a more positive conversation
• How to eliminate toxic workplace energy

Quote from the show - ‘‘Keep venting to 15 to 20 minutes. And if you need to vent longer than that, seriously, find a life coach and save your partner because what is it your partner wants? They want the beautiful person they fell in love with. They want the beautiful side of them. They know that work is challenging and they want them to release that, but they cannot be the only vehicle of release.  That will end up destroying a relationship.’’

Quote from the show - ‘‘I think sometimes seeing their unique ability, seeing their gifts, seeing their highest potential, a great manager will evolve that person and raise them up to their highest potential. And a poor manager will see the potential and do nothing because they don't want that person to outshine them or because they don't know how to do it. ’’

A TABOO TOPIC IN SOME WORK SPACES? THE SECRET SAUCE TO FEELING RESTED...

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY SOME LEADERS LOOK SO RESTED AND PUT TOGETHER?

Samm Smeltzer has passionately pursued the missing elements for employee engagement within organizations, and this path has led her to a place the working world often avoids, Spirituality and Eastern Medicine. She has since combined both her roles as an HR Visionary and a Medical Qigong Healer to heal disengaged workplaces and guide leaders and employees to discover their own professional purpose and passion.

Prior to this journey, Samm began her career serving as an HR Manager within two U.S. based retail companies and was responsible for multiple store sites in various states. She then transitioned industries to healthcare where she developed and implemented company-wide educational programs for leadership and staff at a large Central Pennsylvania Healthcare System. Samm has functioned as a consultant to enhance team and individual performance. She is certified by the HR Certification Institute as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and by the Society for Human Resource Management as an SHRM-CP. Samm’s dedicated efforts resulted in multiple awards, two of them being 2013 Organizational Learning & Development Educator of the Year and Penn State’s 2015 Outstanding Graduate Student in Training and Development.

Samm’s experience combined with her desire to create workplaces with thriving employees resulted in the creation of the HRart Center (pronounced “heart”), a boutique consulting firm devoted to corporate wellness and growth. She is the author of three books, the newest of which is called Workplace Healers. HR leader, Qigong healer, coach, author, and avid podcaster, Samm Smeltzer is on a mission to revolutionize HR and heal the working world.

Join Amy and Samm in this episode as they delve into being intuitive and qigong meditation. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• What it means to be intuitive and how Samm applies it to help corporate leaders
• What Qigong is and how it relates to energy and wellness
• How Samm uses Qigong to help leaders find their authentic selves in the workplace

Quote from the show - ‘‘ Part of me thinks, you know, the pandemic is a horrible global situation that we're going through. However, one of the gifts it has generated is this massive, even reflective, movement through quarantine. And so for the first time, we were all forced to look at ourselves and go inward. We couldn't have all the distractions to allow us to not do that. And when we looked inward and we realized that we haven't been working there, people were like, oh crap. Now what?  What do we do?’’
