The Porch with Lindsay Boccardo

I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. David Rakel to The Porch to talk about compassion in the Workplace. He’s the author of The Compassionate Connection, where he outlines the research behind compassion and healing in doctor-patient relationships. This book turned treating people compassionately from a ‘nice to have’ to a ‘critical’ status.  Three things Dr. Rakel said today on the Porch that I am pro...

I had an incredible time with Ann on the Porch this week. We talked about the importance of having a Chief People Officer with the sole focus of paying attention to and caring for humans in an organization.    Here are a few take-aways:   1. Safe relationships help us moderate the stress that we encounter every day at work and in the world.  2. We are designed to neural regulat...

I’m sitting in an audience of 200 other public speakers waiting to hear from Broadway playwright and performer, Bo Eason. He is brilliant. When he’s on stage I ignore my cell phone entirely (which says a lot coming from a millennial). He walks on stage, puts his arm around Joan Rosenberg and says “if you want to be an incredible public speaker, you need therapy. You need a therapist on your team t...

I can't wait for you to meet my next guest on The Porch, Robb Holman. He's an internationally recognized leadership expert, executive coach, keynote speaker, podcast co-host, and best-selling author. He has a heart for authentic relationships and a true talent for equipping people with the skills and the knowledge necessary for their success. In his most recent book, All In - he outlines his count...

Join me as I chat with Adam Weber, Chief People Officer of Emplify. We will be discussing employee engagement, culture, and team development – because in the year of COVID, these topics seem more important than ever (right?!). You’ll love hearing about how Emplify takes a data driven approach to understanding employee engagement, and I can promise you we’ll be talking about how that data helps us...

Oh, 2020. The year of ups and downs, pivots and new ways of… well, everything. If you’re like me, you probably feel like you have a few emotional bumps, bruises and battle scars from navigating the past few months. I always love sharing my go-to resources with you, but especially when times are tough and we all need a little boost. That’s why I invited my friend Ryan Stanley to join me on The Porc...

Oh, believe me. This one is going to be good. I’m turning up the volume on The Porch with my good friend, Amy Woodall. One of the reasons I love and appreciate Amy so much is because she is obsessed (in a good way) with keeping it real. ​She’s a straight shooter, a to-the-point trainer and advisor to many, and truly practices what she preaches. On this episode of The Porch, Amy and I wil...

Don’t you wish you could predict the future (especially this year!)? I’m hearing from so many of you who work in Human Resources that you’re constantly being asked what will happen if/when/maybe things go back to normal… if we even know what “normal” is anymore! ​I decided it was time to bring in one of the brightest minds in the state of Indiana to help us all understand where the trends in HR ar...

Jill Castilla is the president of Citizens bank in Edmond, OK and is most recently in the news for partnering with Mark Cuban from Shark Tank, to help get much needed funds into our hands QUICKER during a national crisis. Anytime in the last 3 years when I've talked about the future of banking, I pull up a slide with Jill's face on it. Not just because she's making huge strides as a leader in...

We know that you worked so hard to get here. You beat out your peers, won awards, and your work ethic is impeccable. There’s a chance now that you’re tired. You’re feeling crispy, spread too thin, and everyone depends on you to make it happen. Sound like you? Join me and Lauren Moffatt on The Porch to learn about three things you can do to build your Emotional Intelligence. Seriously, this changed...

Is there room for LOVE in the corporate setting?  DID I JUST USE THE “L” word professionally?! The emotional and psychological state of our teams has a direct impact on our client experience. If our team doesn't feel loved, how are they going to pass that on to our clients? There is a HUGE culture shift coming. Nick and I talk about this constantly. When Millennials want to experience love an...

Ready for a radical (and I suspect much more effective) point of view about leadership? I’m so excited to bring Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer of VaynerMedia to The Porch. We all hear people say it’s time to bring humanity to the workplace and create more empathy, but what does that actually look like? Join me and hundreds of others as we sit with Claude to hear how she is doing this ever...

The first time I saw Tiffany Sauder speak, she ran up on stage in her bomber jacket and t-shirt and owned the place. I knew I needed to get to know her. I'm so excited to have her join us on The Porch! If there was ever a time to dig deep into who we are and utilize social media to build social and professional connections, it's NOW. Tiffany is the perfect person to talk about this, and not just b...

There’s been so much buzz about mental health during quarantine. How do we control our own stress, anxiety and fears? And keep our families sane? And keep our teams engaged? What if there was a secret sauce that could help with all of these? Join me on Thursday, May 21st for a conversation with Sherry Richert Belul to talk about how you can find impactful ways to help the peopl...

Join me and Colleen Hauk on The Porch to talk about how it is critical that leaders know how to pivot their influence for a virtual setting. We will discuss the three critical strategies to do so. 1. Connect (why establishing trust is more important now and the best way is through personal story) 2. Competence (competence/respect is second thing people look for and how to demonstrate competence vi...
