A little white lie seems harmless enough. But is it? Can small cracks in our conscience grow into something much more serious. Does a little fib on a resume result begin a path to uncontrollable lying? It might not be that bad, but Clinton Korver, an expert on ethics shares with us how these small rationalizations can deeply affect our character. Big Ideas: - Our ability to tell the truth, in the right way and when it is useful can serve to create much deeper and stronger relationships
- Developing and solidifying your own personal code of ethics can help you live a happier, more fulfilling life
Links: ethicsfortherealworld.com Books: Ethics for the Real World Comment from Clinton Korver: The Brad Brooks show has been one of my most enjoyable interviews. Brad was
prepared, asked great questions, and took the interview in unexpected and
fun directions. Thank you for the opportunity to be on your show.

Soaring gas prices and a tight labour economy are forcing employers to look at new ways to attract and keep staff. Unfortunately, simply sending workers home and telling them that they're telecommuters is a recipe for disaster. Dr. Karen Sobel Lojeski helps companies navigate these treacherous waters. During her conversation with Brad, she describes the causes of the problems and gives some practical steps a struggling manager can take to improve performance. Links: Virtual Distance International Future of Thought Conference Managing Virtual Distance (one day seminar) Books: Uniting the Virtual Workforce: Transforming Leadership and Innovation in the Globally Integrated Enterprise Comment from Karen Sobel Lojeski: Being a guest on The Brad Brooks Show was one of the best experiences I have had in a "virtual" media setting. I have participated in literally dozens of webinars, video conferences, television appearances and even virtual world presentations. But Brad's style and keen aplomb in conducting an interview is unmatched. Brad uses a conversational yet elegant style which made it simple and easy to discuss important issues. So too, he was extremely well prepared and was quick to take our discussion, discern key points, and make them relevant to the every day situations of the listeners. I am honored to have been chosen as a guest for the program and hope that we will have a chance to work together again.

Omar is the founder and senior partner of Sensei International, a global innovator in personal and leadership development, operating in the United Kingdom, the Americas, the Far East, the Middle East and South Asia. Khan's background, from his birth in Cairo to his travels as the son of a Pakistani diplomat growing up in New York, Kuwait, Germany, Holland, and Japan, gives him the global viewpoint that drives his vision today. His previous books include Synergy and Timeless Leadership, his articles have appeared in major publications, and he is an exceptional speaker in demand throughout the world. Global leadership consultant Omar Khan explains why and how many companies kill their employees' passion even if they don't mean to. They hire passionate people and, within a few months, they kill it with endless meetings, boring emails, and meaningless jargon about "motivating" people. Omar discusses what leaders can do to liberate passion instead by building meaningful, authentic relationships throughout their organizations. We think your listeners will be especially interested during this time when economic turmoil is beginning to sink morale in many workplaces. |
