Episode Synopsis

This is a revisit of an episode that was originally released on June 12, 2020, but the things we discussed are more relevant than ever.  Dan grew up in Hawaii and is a surfer. Dan believes that surfing a wave is a great metaphor for his career, passions and life. Meaning you have to drop in, commit, learn from your mistakes, paddle back out and do it again and again. Continued striving and continued improvement.Dan is also a coach here at Rewire who loves to support his clients through the valuable transitions and disruptions of life.  He has an extensive HR, consulting and coaching background. And the name of one of his companies is, get this, Flying Squirrel which is just cool! In this episode Jason and Dan discuss:The value of disruption.Decision fatigue: Building in self and team care. The role of a leader in uncertain times and looking to the team you built for answers. Learning to downshift.Key Takeaways: Growth comes from adversity and disruption to our “normal.” Use it as an opportunity to change and grow. Combat decision fatigue through acknowledgement and a very purposely structured schedule that includes self care and team care.Create a check in/check out system that respects your teams’ time while allowing them to discuss any subject. Downshifting allows us to take action while conserving energy.
