Living in The Silver Lining

I had the incredible pleasure of interviewing Mark Crowley for my first ever vlog on The Silver Lining Podcast. Mark began speaking about a radical way to lead a handful of years back -  his "radical" approach was called "Lead from the Heart" and he captured my attention immediately as he was speaking my language!  I was nodding my head pretty much our entire conversation, as Mark shared...

Leadership is about Love. Full Stop. Let’s work together to create cultures where people actually want to go to work on Monday morning. Let’s Go! Let’s bring more humanity and reality into our workplaces ❤️ Claude Silver is the Chief Heart Office at VaynerMedia, where she serves over 800 people, infusing the company with empathy. You can find her here: https://www.claudesilver.com https://www.link...

Name your fears and put them in the backseat. You get to drive the bus, not them! ❤️ I love hearing from you! Your comments and questions mean the world to me. Email me at claude@claudesilver.com

It's my firm belief that "HR" needs to act as guides and coaches in today's organizations. Yes, we do need to know the hard skills of employee law etc.. but we need to have a heart that wants to actually serve and coach others. Everyone deserves to have a coach, not just the employees who struggle, but everyone.  

I’ve always leaned much more right brained than left - and balancing these sides has been a life long journey for me . The payoffs have been massive and given me an ability to see multi sides of situations.

To face vulnerability can be uncomfortable for people both in and out of the workplace, but when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, the world opens up.

The way I look at any and all employees is through a holistic lens of the whole human. This view allows us to keep in mind who they are as people, and what their personal boundaries are, and from there we can set them up for success!

Uniqueness in the workplace creates belonging and contributes to the growth of the company. 

My friend Bill Cummings asked me a powerful question that I don't get every day; "How has faith and spirituality shaped who I am today?" This was my kind of question! Spirituality is very much at the core of who I am, it is a compass for my life, and it's based on a lot of the great teachings - mainly Love. Give this episode a listen - I'd love to know your thoughts!

On this episode, I share insights into how we changed the hiring at Vaynermedia from Culture Fit to Skill Set fit and Culture Addition. Also, if everyone is a learner & everyone is a teacher, who is the smartest person in the room? Is it you? Is it me? Listen in and share your thoughts with me.

What inspired you when you were a kid? One of the questions I ask when someone is stuck. We only have one go around, so why not make it the best years of your life. Listen in to this episode if you are feeling stuck right now and need help.

How do you help someone become self-aware? I share a little bit about my own personal journey and how at Vaynermedia this has evolved from concept to real application with everyone we work with.

Transparency is a an interesting thing... It can be the gateway to your freedom...But how? And why is it that accountability and responsibility are kissing cousins when it comes to being transparent..? On this episode, I share with you my thoughts on the power of transparency.

On this episode, I share what for me is the true essence of what it means to lead your life and what is the role of a leader or a coach in someone's life.  If you have questions or thoughts on this topic I would love to hear from you.

When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control.

Slaying Your Dragons: Emotional & spiritual growth await all of us. Slaying our fears and limitations is what brings us to a place of endless possibility and freedom.

Being Human: WYSIWYG. What you see is what you get. Let's imagine a world where we don't feel the need to put shields and armour up with one another. A world where we can simply be respectful, kind, generous and grateful.

We are invited into people's personal cultures every day. That is an invitation to take up space. So how do you want to show up when you are there?
