Recently I had the pleasure of being a guest on Dr. Greg Ketchum’s “Coach on Demand” podcast.
Dubbed the “Frasier of the Cubicles” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Dr. Greg is a former clinical psychologist-turned executive coach and radio talk show host. A unique mix of psychology and coaching expertise gives Dr. Greg a great understanding of people and what it takes for career success. Combined with his keen insight into today’s workplace, and infused with his trademark quick wit, Dr. Greg challenges his listeners and clients to reach for career success on their own terms—and to have a good time doing it. I had a blast in our visit, where we talked about how uncertainty has always been a part of our world. But with Covid 19 and all the disruptions, it has caused uncertainty is now a permanent, unrelenting worldwide fixture rather than something that happens in response to a particular crisis and then recedes. Despite how much we may dislike uncertainty, learning how to not only accept but truly embrace it and the new possibilities it brings is one of those fundamental leadership skills for our time.
