Anger in Leadership with Dr. Julian Barling PhD and Dr. Simon Rego, PsyD
Text me a question I might answer through the show
You’re in a leadership role and the anger bubbles up. Or . . .you’re the subject of the leader experiencing anger. Learn about anger in leadership as well as transformational leadership from the best selling authors of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Leaders: How Improving your Mental Health is Essential to Avoiding Burnout and Leading More Effectively, Dr. Julian Barling PhD and Dr. Simon A. Rego, PsyD. I have started sharing my podcasts on YouTube as well – find this one under @AlexandraMillerClark. Some gems I learned from this interview include:
* just a little bit of anger can be motivating
* showing anxiety can be more effective than showing anger as a leader . . . But not too much!
*sometimes it helps to say “I don’t know” or “I’m sorry”
*it’s good to prepare for future crises as leaders
*leaders who show anger are just humans with a range of emotions

Bravery, Risk and Reward
“God will not have his work made manifest by cowards” Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Join us for this delightful conversation with Dr. Beth Rom Rymer and Neill Clark on the topic of risk taking in our lives. We contemplate ideas by Machiavelli, Goethe, Lincoln and George Washington. We discuss psychological and moral risks – courageous action for things aligned with our values and even better, for principles greater than ourselves.

Dr. Beth Rom-Rymer’s distinguished career includes groundbreaking work with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence advocacy, and forensic geriatrics. She had been a lecturer at The University of Chicago and Northwestern University for over two decades; led the successful legislative movement for prescriptive authority in Illinois and is a national and international leader with Prescriptive Authority Movements around the globe. Dr. Rom-Rymer co-founded and is President of the Association of Jewish Psychologists. She has won numerous awards for her work, including: Distinguished Illinois Psychologist from the Illinois Psychological Association (2012 and 2014); Outstanding Psychologist of the Year from APA’s Division 31 (2014); APA Presidential Citation for Outstanding Leadership (2015); APA Karl Heiser Award for Legislative Advocacy (2015); Wellner Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Register of Health Service Psychologists (2016); Social Impact Leaders Award from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (2018).

Bring back the Family Meal
In this episode I share
1) What research has found about the impact of family meals
2) Tips on how to get started again for those who have gotten away from the practice
3) My own practice with our family dinners, including three conversation starters that we have used for years. These conversation starters are helpful in other contexts, including for divorced parents and their children when they do “phone time” when away from one another. Enjoy!
