Police Chief Sanchez on Journaling for LeadershipDid you know that journal-writing can be used to further your career and develop valuable leadership skills?

In this episode, meet Gina Rae Hendrickson, a friend and colleague whose company, Genius Leadership Tools, helps bring out the genius in you and your team. Together, we interview the Santa Barbara Chief of Police, Camarino Sanchez.

Chief Sanchez shares how journaling has helped him keep emotionally balanced, focused on what’s important, gain clarity and insight, deal with different people and difficult situations, and more. The Chief has been an icon of leadership in the California police force for several decades. He also explains why he encourages his entire staff to keep a private journal.

Write Your Way (From Manager to Leader) WorkshopThis interview is one snippet of a larger workshop series that Gina Rae and I are conducting on Journaling for Managers later this year. You are welcome to join us to learn powerful yet simple exercises that promote healthy leadership skills, including decision-making; prioritization; and crafting a message with authenticity, collaboration and trust. (JournalTalk, Episode #59, July 28, 2015)

Thai Nguyen on JournalTalk podcastJournalTalk has offered me the pleasure of interviewing some interesting people. People who have developed a habit of asking themselves tough questions, listening to the voice(s) within, and staying present to the answers that unfold. This week’s guest is a great example of such a guy.

Thai Nguyen writes with a candid, authentic voice. His articles about personal growth and development have been featured in MindBodyGreen, the Huffington Post, and other popular sites.

Thai’s life has taken many interesting turns. His family fled from Vietnam after the war, and made it to Australia. He’s been a 5-star chef specializing in nutrition-rich menus, an international kick boxer and personal trainer, and he attended seminary school with a drive to help people on their spiritual journey. While earning a Masters degree in Psychotherapy, Today Thai writes for his own authentic news site, TheUtopianLife.com.

Our conversation explores several topics, but what felt most profound to me was our agreement that our words and our stories matter — the more we seek to understand ourselves, especially if we want to be a positive influence on others, the more important it is to listen for and give attention to constructing the words of our personal journey. (JournalTalk, Episode #58, July 14, 2015)
