S2E3 The Power of Collaboration with Danielle McCombs & Kristy Olinger
Manage episode 407385529 series 3560695
Do you prefer to partner up with people while achieving a goal or to run solo? Do you create best with others or on your own?
Join Amanda and her guests Danielle McCombs, a Co-Active Certified Professional coach & Kristy Olinger, a communication consultant, as well as co-hosts of The Opposite of Small Talk podcast—a show that focuses on connection, reflection, and social justice—to discuss the importance of partnership, and learn how Danielle & Kristy tackle tough conversations (aka Big Talk), topics they purposefully do not shy away from.
Other valuable points of conversation include:
- Finding purpose through podcasting/spreading a message.
- The sense of belonging that comes from aligning with and being a part of a larger community.
- Why Danielle & Kristy (and Amanda & Ginny) were drawn to each other for their podcasting endeavor, and how their natural gifts complement each other.
- Kristy describes how difficult conversations and certain perspectives will result in losing listeners and how that indicates they are having meaningful conversations.
- Kristy's experience with negative comments and her decision to leave them up for others to learn something through the exchange.
- How their willingness to listen to alternative perspectives creates humility and open-mindedness.
- Growing through the process of feeling supported as well as criticized.
- Hard conversations break down the walls to allow vulnerability and honesty to appear, and how these moments help to foster intimate conversations in their personal lives.
