Welcome to the Saturday post. This is where I summarize podcasts that inspired me throughout the week and give a quick recap of what was covered on both blogs. Enjoy!
PodList
This week, four podcasts make the list. The last two are interviews with the same author. If the shorter interview is interesting, I would encourage you to dive into the longer one as well.
Value Shifts: How to Craft Compelling Change in Every Story – 25 minutes. Your Next Draft. This podcast is focused on creating fiction. However, this episode is all about how to move an audience from one state to another state. No matter your role, you likely do this every day in a conversation, a presentation, or a strategic POV. This podcast will have you thinking about the journey more intentionally.
Honor Others Time – 7 minutes. Before Breakfast. This short podcast gets you thinking about how your actions impact how others spend their time. At the organizational and team level, these tips are worth some time and consideration.
Breaking Through When You Feel Stuck – 28 minutes. HBR Idea Cast. This is a session with author Adam Alter about hitting plateaus and roadblocks and how to break free. He shares ideas from his book Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most.
Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck and Achieve Anything – 1 hour, 7 minutes. The Next Big Idea Club. If you enjoyed the podcast above, take a listen to this one and dive even deeper with Adam Alter.
