Key Discussion Points:
Mike’s Journey and Overcoming Trauma:
  • Mike shares his background and how he was shaped by childhood traumas and the need to prove his worth: “I had a great foundation, but I was still missing something.”
  • He discusses the repetitive nature of stressors and how unresolved trauma affects mental health and success: “When I realized that it was gonna deal with me one way or the other if I didn’t deal with it, I really started to wonder, why didn’t I do this sooner.”
  • Mike emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health issues when feeling good, rather than waiting for a crisis.

    “If we can tackle these things when we’re feeling decent, we can enter into a healthy process of improving our mental health.”
The Unlimited Worth Project:
      • Mike introduces the Unlimited Worth Project, which evolved from his previous initiative, Grow Get Give Coaching: “It’s morphed into something I call the Unlimited Worth Project.”
      • The project aims to connect past experiences and current behaviors, helping leaders fill gaps and elevate their performance: “The Unlimited Worth Project is exactly that – connecting the dots between what happened to us and what we’re repeating.”
      • Mike works with male leaders, CEOs, and leadership teams to identify and address these gaps in a straightforward and comfortable manner: “In a plain-spoken way that makes people comfortable and gives them clear and understandable viable pathways to success.”
Services Offered by Mike Skrypnek:
      • Mike offers keynote speaking, workshops, and one-on-one coaching for senior leadership teams and individuals: “I’ll come in and do keynotes, workshops with senior leadership teams, and one-on-one coaching with senior leadership people.”
      • He invests time in discovery conversations, offering a generous 28-minute free consultation to explore potential benefits and ways to work together: “I give of myself. And I’m doing that through this program in particular. 28 minutes of my time to investigate through a discovery conversation.”

Unlimited Worth Book:

        “It has to be ‘Unlimited Worth’… my most recent book, written and published in 2022.”
      • The book provides insights into becoming whole by addressing and overcoming past trauma: “It describes my journey and the connection I made to what happened to me on one side of healing, and then the other side, the better side, of becoming whole.”

Key Takeaway:

  • Mike’s primary tip for the audience is to recognize that everything is connected: “It’s all connected, and it will be connected until we take action to unconnect or disconnect it.”
  • He encourages leaders to take proactive steps to break these connections and improve their overall well-being and performance: “What happened to us will happen to us continually until we deal with it.”

The Transformative Power of Coaching in Career Development with Randi Roberts

Welcome to another insightful edition of Training Unleashed! Today’s episode brings us a compelling conversation between our host, Evan Hackle, and the esteemed guest, Randi Roberts, CEO of Randi Roberts Coaching. The focus of this discussion revolves around the world of coaching and its profound impact on individuals, teams, and organizational growth.

Why Coaching Matters

Evan begins the conversation by addressing a significant question: Why do some people undervalue coaching, and why isn’t it a more prominent part of the executive world? Randi expresses her belief that awareness of coaching is on the rise and emphasizes the transformative nature of coaching relationships. As someone deeply passionate about coaching, Randi emphasizes that coaching isn’t about telling people what to do; it’s about guiding them to find their own path forward.

The conversation evolves to highlight the changing landscape of coaching acceptance. Randi notes that once individuals understand the support and possibilities coaching brings, they become more open to it. Coaching, however, isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. While it may not be for everyone, those willing to engage in inner work and move forward find tremendous value in the coaching relationship.

Introducing Coaching Effectively

The discussion touches upon the crucial aspect of introducing coaching effectively within organizations. Randi and Evan share their experiences of coaching within corporate settings, highlighting the positive impact on individual and team performance. The key, they suggest, is framing coaching as an investment in personal and professional growth rather than a corrective measure.

Confidentiality in coaching engagements is a pivotal aspect that Randi emphasizes. Whether coaching is initiated by individuals or companies, setting clear objectives and maintaining confidentiality creates a safe space for clients to explore and grow.

Leadership Team Development: Nurturing High Performance

Transitioning into leadership team development, Randi underscores its essential role in organizational success. With teams constantly evolving, from forming new teams to assimilating new leaders and diagnosing team challenges, the need for ongoing development becomes apparent. Trust is identified as the foundational element, and addressing both strengths and deficits is crucial for fostering high-performance teams.

One Tip for Career Success

As the conversation concludes, Randi offers a valuable tip: If something doesn’t feel right in your career, invest time in inner work to identify the root cause. Ensuring you solve the right problem is crucial for making informed decisions about your career path.
