10
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.359
Well join in for our show of Next. And one

11
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.640
of the reasons I decided to call it next is

12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.560
because everyone has a next, no matter what age you are.

13
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.039
But in particular, I'm focusing on people who at the

14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.640
moment may be in a different stage in their life

15
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.480
and in their career, and what from their perspective is

16
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:17.879
making the remainder of their professional life and personal life

17
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.239
a great next for them. And I think that there

18
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:28.040
are some amazing things that people are doing out there.

19
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.680
And somebody said to me yesterday when I was chatting

20
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.200
with them, well, you know, you get gray hair. Women

21
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.400
have a way to deal with that, but you get

22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.599
gray hair and companies are not necessarily always interested in

23
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:48.760
keeping you on or promoting you to a next position.

24
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.599
And you know, you know personally that you have a

25
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:59.159
lot more to give. And my guest today is David Gallimore.

26
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.040
If it's a fascinating man, he's boat captain. He recreated

27
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.960
himself a number of times and has a fabulous consulting

28
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.159
practice around leadership. He worked for Boeing in cap Gemini

29
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:23.360
before he embarked on this new fantastic career, really focusing

30
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.280
around developing great leaders. And I have a philosophy I

31
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:33.120
suspect David does too, that no great ship is run

32
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.560
without great leaders, no matter where they are in the organization,

33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.719
and they may not necessarily be in the top of

34
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.280
the house. But we shall see, we shall see through

35
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:52.039
all these discussions with fascinating people who have regenerated. I

36
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.159
believe that's David's term, regenerated and recreated themselves many times

37
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:03.479
over for a happy, you're, more purposeful, and more productive life.

38
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:09.479
So let me introduce David Gyallmore. Hey, captain, how are

39
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.159
you well? You I'm good and you look pretty snappy there,

40
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.960
and you know, on the West coast and I'm on

41
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.360
the East coast. So that's how good technology is today.

42
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.879
So good to be here with you in Happy holidays

43
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:24.879
to you and your family.

44
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.800
Yeah, same, same to you, same to you. Are you

45
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.960
ready for the holidays?

46
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:29.560
Oh?

47
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.000
Absolutely yeah, I think thankfully. We're going to keep it

48
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.639
simple and the spirit of regeneration. We're just going to

49
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.080
kind of winter.

50
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.199
Right winter beautiful, beautifully said. So tell me, David, give

51
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.479
me the cliff notes on what got you to regeneration.

52
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.080
Linda, this has been, as you said in your kind introductions,

53
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.879
thank you for that a journey and to be completely transparent.

54
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.520
I think I'm still just kind of in the first

55
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:06.439
few tacks using salor language along this journey that thank

56
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.639
you me too. It's my happy place. I would say

57
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.520
that the catalyst for regeneration really started when I met

58
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.120
and married Margaret, who was a clinket in Teal Tan

59
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.120
Native American born and raised in southeast Alaska. And she

60
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.240
was already a diehard recycler, which I was, and I

61
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.920
thought that that was sufficient, but she took it way

62
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.360
way beyond and organic before organic produce was a thing.

63
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.240
And I think as a child.

64
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.519
Of parents who didn't have much and my parents who

65
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.480
were raised in the depression and then the war, we

66
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.759
were very frugal. And so this idea of regeneration, you know,

67
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.639
aligned with the logic of life, the seasons of nature,

68
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.920
and where are their opportunities in my own life to

69
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.199
go spring? I can summerlike into my career and my job.

70
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:03.600
And I was.

71
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.680
I was successful as an executive program manager developing different

72
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.040
businesses for IBM and Boeing and cap Gemini. But learned

73
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.839
from her that I can't just be working sixty seventy

74
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.879
eighty hours a week, which was my natural inclination type

75
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.920
a personality personality you can relate, I suspect, But she

76
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.759
was that wonderful gang to my yang. She was that

77
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.800
that keel that was keeping me stable. And I think

78
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.399
your generation really started there.

79
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.240
Oh that's such such a nice story. So how did

80
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.240
it move on into your career? Because I know that

81
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:48.279
you The last place you worked was cap Gemini, I believe, right,

82
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.759
And so you moved on through some major companies and

83
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.000
then decided to go into your own consulting practice, which

84
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.959
I might add is very successful. So how'd you make

85
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.439
those transitions?

86
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:02.680
Yeah?

87
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.879
And if I may just maybe step back slightly, sure,

88
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.720
because you said in your introductions that I have had

89
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.839
many transitions, many many pivots, many tax and part of

90
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.079
it is my neurodiversity ADHD, and I have a number

91
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.079
of clients like me that I think it's a little

92
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.399
bit of fear of missing out, a little bit of

93
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:32.319
oh shiny object, oh right, secret squirrels. And so those

94
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:37.360
pivots really, I think have formed my character and also

95
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:43.639
have created an amazingly rich life. So transitioning from systems

96
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.439
engineer at IBM to then founding a company by being

97
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:52.079
able to see around the corner and unbuddling IBM's technical

98
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:57.040
training from ten million dollars mainframe sales, and that was

99
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.000
hugely successful, and I got to apply my master's degree

100
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.920
in adult learning theory and technology. Another transition that was

101
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.519
very momentuous was realizing that as a as a lover

102
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.600
of teaching and learning and then sharing what I learned

103
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.000
and successful at that it was the first place where

104
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.000
organizations would cut their budget. So as the training director

105
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.199
of two different companies and getting laid off because it

106
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:31.439
just wasn't building product, selling product, supporting customers. And so

107
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.399
though I love teaching and I still teach sailing, and

108
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.040
I certainly teach clients, and in my writing, I think

109
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.000
of myself as as a teacher. It didn't put food

110
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.639
on the table as a sole provider. So then becoming

111
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.199
a program manager and bringing new technology, new disruptive technologies,

112
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.040
and new business models together to create value and had

113
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.360
the privilege of doing that at Boeing and at cap Gemini.

114
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.160
And then there's this thing called agism. And I know

115
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:05.480
you are finding in your own next chapter joy and

116
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.759
a sense of adventure that I'm sixty three and I

117
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.000
think of myself as still forty three, and yeah, I've.

118
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.800
Chopped twenty years off of me too.

119
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.040
Right, Yea, to me, it's not about calendar ad It's

120
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.639
about it right, how I feel and what I can do.

121
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.759
And the biggest thing I find is have to overcome fear.

122
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.079
We can maybe talk about that.

123
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.039
Yeah, let's talk about that in a moment. That's a

124
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:37.039
great concept because I think we all function at a

125
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.720
level of fear. And I'm just going to throw this in.

126
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.039
You know, I've done radio shows before, as you well know,

127
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.480
but I've been a while and I have a sense

128
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.840
of fear that oh is it gonna go? Well? Is

129
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.440
it all right? You know? All of that, So we'll tell.

130
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.559
Okay, And it's completely natural.

131
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.080
By the way, if you think that everybody else doesn't

132
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.360
have imposter syndrome, every one of my clients and I've

133
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.879
served over a thousand clients in my clinic at Sale University,

134
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.080
to private clients, to myself, and how do you manage?

135
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.240
How do you manage that? So the last pivot that

136
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:14.200
really I think addresses your question is this pivot to

137
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.399
coaching my wife after I got laid off with two

138
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.960
hundred and fifty five other cap Gemini vps and directors

139
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:27.039
at the time, it was very, very difficult for over.

140
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.679
A year as a sole provider.

141
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:33.240
But again, my wife, Margaret, coming up on thirty six

142
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.480
years of marriage, she asked me, what do you want

143
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.120
to be when you grow up? And frankly, I didn't know.

144
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.080
And I had to find my core values, which are love,

145
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.120
which includes family and community and compassion. So it's kind

146
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.679
of an uber value adventure. I used to have challenge

147
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:55.240
and then I was attracting far too many problems, so

148
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.799
I changed it to adventure and I have far fewer

149
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.519
issues and way more fun creating.

150
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.399
And how did you make that change in your attitude?

151
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.879
Well, part of my work with clients is to help

152
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.720
them really reflect on who they are at their core.

153
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.039
We all share across the globe, cross cultures, cross ages

154
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:23.519
and ethnicities, you know, peace, family, health, But those are

155
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.840
not sufficient. Excuse me, I get all choked up just

156
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.399
talking about this. It's not sufficient on a Monday morning

157
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.919
when really what you want to do is kind of

158
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.399
stay under the covers and eat pizza. The idea of

159
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.440
who am I now at this time? And the word

160
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.399
challenge when I reflected in my journaling in the morning

161
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:49.080
or when I was doing my Marshall Goldsmith Daily questions,

162
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:51.799
did I do my best too?

163
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.759
Dot dot dot.

164
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.000
Live challenge? And I thought, yeah, I did so well

165
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.320
that I attracted way too many issues. And so I'm

166
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.799
going to reframe that into adventure. And I still have

167
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:08.240
problems and issues, we all do, but that explorer mindset

168
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.000
has been so game changing for me.

169
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:17.759
That's so important, you know, reframing that problem mindset to

170
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:22.759
explore mindset. I think people in our situation. I'm older

171
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.320
than you, I'm not going to say much, but you know,

172
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.080
changing that mindset to an explorer and an adventurer makes

173
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:38.399
it so much more exciting. And problems and weight and

174
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.360
I don't think that's easy for people. I mean, it

175
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.480
sounds easy, but it's not easy do that.

176
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.120
It was a muscle that I clearly had to strengthen

177
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:53.879
because our identity is so indelibly part of us, either

178
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:59.960
through how we were parented or society's expectations, the media right,

179
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.840
and if I hadn't had that year of unemployment, which

180
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.360
now I think it was a huge gift, I really.

181
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:12.519
Do because it was. It did it.

182
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.919
It forced me to confront what is it that I'm

183
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.720
really wanting to do in the world.

184
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.960
And when Margaret said what do you want to do

185
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.600
when I grow up?

186
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.679
I said, I really want to coach people, and not

187
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.879
necessarily the traditional just ask questions kind of a coach,

188
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.519
but that hybrid where a little bit of teaching, a

189
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.039
lot of deep listening, doing formulation, getting to the root

190
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.279
cause of somebody's challenges and opportunities. And then again, not

191
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.320
everybody wants to have a coach. They what they want

192
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.639
is the outcome. So it's not about me. It's not

193
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.960
about the billable hours, it's not about creating a client

194
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.600
for life. What it's about is can we do in

195
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.919
ninety days or what can we do in thirty days,

196
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:07.039
what can we what are the outcomes that people really want,

197
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.559
and focus like a laser beam on that. That was

198
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.440
the kind of coaching. So I brought a lot of

199
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.600
how I led teams, you know, create an environment where

200
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.919
teams can come and do their best and most creative work.

201
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.799
And if they get blocked, which happens all the time,

202
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.879
you know, using Eli Goldratch's theory of constraints, zero in

203
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.120
on this constraint, like the Toyota production line where the

204
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.879
assembly worker pulls the and on cord and stops the

205
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.120
line and the red light spin and the sirens and

206
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.039
the SWAT team comes.

207
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.159
Out and helps. That was the approach that I.

208
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.879
Was taking and I'm taking with clients so that they

209
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.000
get really clear about who they are, what is their brand?

210
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.120
In other words, how do they show up in the world,

211
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.960
how do people see them? And if we don't manage

212
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.799
our own brand, others are going to manage it on

213
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.840
our behalf. And so living more consciously I think has

214
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.759
been the biggest awakening that I had. And as a result,

215
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.639
when I've aligned, you know who I am at this

216
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.360
point in my life, and it does change I think

217
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.960
over time. But once that the thoughts and the behaviors

218
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:22.000
and the opportunities. It's easy then to say no, thank

219
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.639
you for an ADHD neurodiverse person to say no of

220
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.120
the hardest things to do. But with that, using the

221
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.240
core values as a as a decision criteria has been

222
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.320
game changing. And the other tool that I think has

223
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.759
been very helpful I discovered thankfully with the Google algorithm.

224
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.519
I saw a YouTube video about Ikey Guy, which is.

225
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:53.440
A Japanese fascinating Yeah Japanese philosophy about your reason for

226
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:58.000
being and if you are a student of the Blue zones,

227
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.039
these are the yeah seven eight areas around the world,

228
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:07.039
including Okinawa, Japan, where you've got fascinating per capita more

229
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.960
centenarians than anywhere else in the world. One of the

230
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.559
common traits is that they are living their passion. They

231
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.679
feel in contribution to others and services to others. They're

232
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.600
getting paid a reasonable amount, not too little, not too much,

233
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:29.279
but goldilocks just right, and they have that sense of

234
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.279
meaning and purpose what Simon Sinek calls are why and

235
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.679
once those things are aligned, well, now you can just

236
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.480
take off.

237
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.720
The boat just just flies down the water. You know.

238
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.000
It's fascinating, though I a couple of years ago. I

239
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.879
guess I went to Sardinia because it is one of

240
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.440
the Blue Zone countries and the sense of community there

241
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.559
is also a factor of Blue Zone organizations and you

242
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.200
could really, you could really feel it there. It was

243
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.519
not a materialistic place, as you know. And there is

244
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.759
a blue zone in the United States. I think is

245
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:11.200
Loma Linda? Is it? That's correct, it's named Linda.

246
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.159
It's a foreshadow.

247
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:19.000
It's a foreshadow exactly, exactly. Well, that's fascinating, right, right,

248
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:24.039
So what is your next for you now?

249
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.759
Thank you? This is still evolving.

250
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.440
And back in November of twenty twenty one, when I

251
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.080
was just fixated on the world leaders coming together to

252
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.159
help put a plan, single plan, and an alignment along

253
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.440
that plan about how we can improve the health of

254
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.679
our people across the globe, improve the health of our biodiversity,

255
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.240
because we're not the only species on the planet, right

256
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.080
and then if we arm an arm work together instead

257
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.480
of working against one another, we could actually improve the

258
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:00.639
health of our planet.

259
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:02.399
Despite what Elon Musk is.

260
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.599
Saying about we're all going to be going to Mars,

261
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.839
I can't imagine eight, nine or even ten billion people,

262
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.920
which is likely what the planet will support leaving the

263
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.799
Earth anytime soon. So as a captain, professional captain doing

264
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.079
deliveries on the ocean and enjoying ocean adventures, the first

265
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.279
priority is you take care of your ship, our only home.

266
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.519
So how do we do that right now?

267
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.799
The polarization of our country, not just in the US,

268
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:31.440
but all.

269
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.400
Over the glor worldwide.

270
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.640
Yeah, and if you saw the movie Don't Look Up,

271
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.359
which was a bit of a kind of a comedy,

272
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.079
a dark comedy about hey, how some of these topics

273
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.480
like climate and.

274
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.119
Social justice.

275
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:54.680
I mean, these are big, narrowly challenging, multi millennial challenges.

276
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.160
I would call them polarities to be managed, not problems

277
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.000
to solve, right, And I.

278
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.240
Like that perspective too. Not enough people have that understanding

279
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.720
the polarity. Go ahead.

280
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.359
I'm sorry, it's been really it's great. I'm so glad

281
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.559
that we're having this dialogue. It says what I love

282
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.000
about what I do right, get to meet with smart people,

283
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.880
thoughtful people that want to make a difference in the world.

284
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.359
So this pivot that I.

285
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:25.519
Made after November when frankly the world leaders were not

286
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:29.279
coming together, and I said to Margaret, I've been given

287
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.480
so much opportunity. I feel so blessed, you know what

288
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.279
can I do? And so that led me on a

289
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.039
four year journey and I'm still evolving. But my basic

290
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.680
belief is it has to start with each of us.

291
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.119
And I put my finger on my own nose. What

292
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.200
are my shadows? What are the blocks that I still

293
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.839
have that I'm not willing to actually do anything about?

294
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.720
Like sometimes I procrastinate, in fact on things that are

295
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.079
traditionally challenging for me, financial management or some of the

296
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.359
detail stuff. I'm more of a bigger picture person, and

297
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:12.079
I surround myself with people that are brilliant at managing

298
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.720
all of the details. Well now as a solo opreneur,

299
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.720
guess what, I get to do the vision, but actually

300
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:20.200
do everything.

301
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:25.680
Else rights that path myself, so I understand completely.

302
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319
So I'm still working through that and asking for help

303
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.880
has been huge, right, lowering one's ego and pride and

304
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:37.480
just saying, you know what I suck at this?

305
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.079
Can you help me? So beginning with me.

306
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.079
How do I create more emotional resilience and more emotional capacity.

307
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:49.839
There's been a lot of inner work looking at why

308
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:54.400
am I feeling in some venues, like writing my book

309
00:19:54.680 --> 00:20:00.039
why do I think, Yep, yeah, it's about regeneration and

310
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.400
and how can we do that at a personal level.

311
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.640
So when you throw a pebble into a pond, a

312
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.599
very pom pond, it creates ripples, and I believe the

313
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.680
ripples that I can help in that environment where people

314
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.400
can come and do their best, most creative work. This

315
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.319
is now aligned around the improving the health of our

316
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.200
people and biodiversity and our planet. And I believe that

317
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:28.039
business is a huge lever also beginning with me, my family,

318
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:34.039
my teams, organizations, our community. If we can arm in arm,

319
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.640
just continue to level up or tack our way to

320
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:43.519
healthier day by day, and then we create more capacity

321
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.039
to maybe not be so selfish. And again I put

322
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:50.359
my finger on my own nose as a recovering someone

323
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:54.440
who sometimes just thinks nothing but his own needs and

324
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:59.680
objectives and goals. It is about this need for creating

325
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:06.119
a collective and consciousness, raising that we are not necessarily

326
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.079
at the top of the pyramid, but were in fact

327
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.559
are part of this ecosystem. And frankly, to be blunt,

328
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.200
Mother Nature, the planet Earth, she doesn't really care if

329
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:21.119
we live. She doesn't There have been five previous mass extinctions,

330
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.000
and we're in the sixth and there's no guarantee that

331
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:29.680
we will survive unless we adapt. And I think that's

332
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:34.039
where my father, Peter Gallimore, who is an executive at Boeing,

333
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.960
he said, you know when people get their nose and

334
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.839
their toes over the precipice, so imagine you're leaning right

335
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.559
over the Grand Canyon. That's when our inventiveness, our creativity,

336
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:50.359
and when we come together. We've seen that just here

337
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.960
in Seattle with our two atmospheric rivers. People are pulling

338
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.559
together to help our neighbors that have lost everything in

339
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:01.759
the floodwaters. I'm sure you've seen it where you are

340
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.480
in New England and New York where they've had all

341
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.720
sorts of hurricanes and flooding and other things over the years,

342
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.799
and people come together. We came together after nine to eleven,

343
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.319
so we know it's in us and I just want

344
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.200
to be that again, create that environment, lead by example first,

345
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:24.400
and just share like Marshall Goldsmith does, as really as

346
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:28.519
I possibly can, to help others with their own journey

347
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.359
and realize that they can be who they want to be.

348
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.920
So that's my mission right now is to help leaders

349
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.599
purpose driven leaders and their organizations to be who they

350
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.759
want to become and in the process of that create

351
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:49.000
capacity to maybe look at their own behaviors, their own decisions,

352
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:55.759
how to improve the health of our people, biodiversity and planet.

353
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.160
You know, that's so interesting because it's very difficult. You

354
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:02.440
know this, and I know this most a lot of

355
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.519
our colleagues know this. It's very difficult to look yourself

356
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.319
in the mirror, at yourself in the mirror and recognize

357
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.559
those things that you really have to change. And you

358
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.440
may know it deep down in your heart, but it's

359
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.440
it's very, very hard to do.

360
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.119
You know.

361
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.359
How Marshall Goldsmith is, for those who don't know, is

362
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.799
a very I guess David I would say, the world's

363
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:33.480
leading executive coach. And interestingly enough, he has decided that

364
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:35.759
he doesn't want to do that anymore because he thinks

365
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.720
he's past, you know, his prime. But he's still doing

366
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.839
a lot of really interesting things. You know. It's really

367
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.599
tapping into those values that are so so important and

368
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.559
really trying to live them. So give us a little

369
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.480
insight when your book, what's the title of your book,

370
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:58.839
when's your book coming out? What can this audience get from.

371
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.920
It well, thank you you I do. If I may

372
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.960
just talk just briefly about fear.

373
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:06.160
Yes, that's very important. I love that.

374
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.279
And then and then I'd love to talk about just

375
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:14.720
where the Regenerate You is the title of the book. So,

376
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.559
as you described earlier, there are this tension between what

377
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:21.160
we know and then what we do.

378
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.839
About what we know, and that's the fear factor.

379
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.880
I think fear is a part of that. Also lack

380
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.039
of clarity for me anyway, like if I have too

381
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.160
many options, if I've been watching too many YouTube videos

382
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.720
or read too many books, and I'm just diverging at

383
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.720
some point. And again, in their spirit of regeneration, you

384
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.400
can't always be living spring and summer. Sometimes you have

385
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.960
to let the leaves fall right, then tend to your

386
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.920
soil in the winter right, and then you can, you know,

387
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.119
grow anew in the spring.

388
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.240
Great analogy. I love that.

389
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.279
Well, this is the logic of life. Three point eight

390
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.720
billion years of evolution of life, and we human beings

391
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:07.440
have been around roughly two hundred thousand years, and we

392
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.920
think we've all got it all figured out well. I

393
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:12.640
think a lot of the indigenous people of which my

394
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:18.079
wife is an elder now and a loving spirit. I

395
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.160
think we can learn a lot from others that are

396
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.119
more aligned with nature.

397
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.359
More aligned with nature, I think that's really great. Yeah, concept, but.

398
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.200
That may be another conversation that we can have and

399
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.160
I would yeah, I would love to do that with

400
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.960
you if that you serves this audience and yourself. So

401
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.079
back to fear briefly, I think acknowledging that I have

402
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:46.799
a fear about, say, detail work and financial management, and

403
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.000
exercise that I don't like to feel uncomfortable.

404
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.759
Those are probably my big three. I have to acknowledge those.

405
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:01.200
And then this idea of atomic habits and little steps.

406
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.079
How do you hate this analogy but we all know it.

407
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.240
How do you eat elephant? You a bite it at

408
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:06.400
the time?

409
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.920
Oh right, I actually haven't heard that in analogy, But

410
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.839
okays it is the small things.

411
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:17.680
Yeah, everybody I think wants this immediate transformation. I tell

412
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.160
my clients who said, well, what can you how you

413
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.519
how do you help me transform in three days?

414
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.240
And I go, that's a miracle, And I don't do miracles.

415
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:28.680
That's right, If.

416
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.680
You want to work for ninety days, I can help you.

417
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.240
And and so it's really about acknowledging the fear and

418
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.799
letting the fear bubble up. Michael a singer who yeah,

419
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.039
the untethered soul and the surrender experiment. That was a

420
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.920
huge catalyst for me. He was referred to me by

421
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.359
my mentor and friend, Bert Eckert, who runs a company

422
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:57.839
called qlx dot com. And I just know that by

423
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:01.359
letting those emotions well up, the full emotions well up,

424
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.799
putting a label on them, that was very helpful. To

425
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.759
have that emotion wheel where you've got maybe fifty or

426
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.279
sixty different emotions that are written down. So now I

427
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.640
have language, and then I can ask for help from

428
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.960
people that are better at detail work and better at

429
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.119
financial management, and better at exercise and being kind and

430
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.480
gentle with myself when I suck at this for a while.

431
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.440
And that's important, and not just to give up, you know,

432
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.960
sundering never you know, it's like, oh God, I really

433
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.279
can't do that, but you know whatever. So David, one

434
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:43.279
final quick question. When is your book coming out?

435
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:45.559
Oh? It came. It was supposed to come out seven

436
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:46.000
years ago.

437
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:49.559
Linda, Oh yeah, well, I understand.

438
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.400
That all katting aside. I have a literary agent.

439
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.599
We're in the process of putting a book proposal together,

440
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:57.680
I've written the book.

441
00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:58.359
I just don't know.

442
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.000
Oh, you just got to get a public Yeah.

443
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.640
I thought about self publishing, but I also recognize that

444
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:11.480
a more traditional writing publishing relationship can create more impact.

445
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.160
And that's what I as my sixth value is impact.

446
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:18.720
And so I'm hopeful now if I can't get a

447
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.240
publisher for in twenty twenty six, then I will self publish.

448
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.480
Yeah. Well, you know, I hope you get a publisher

449
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.440
and if I can help you in any way, I

450
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:33.599
Wiley Press and McMillan Press published my books.

451
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:35.359
That's what we're looking at, is Wiley.

452
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.000
Yeah. I had a good experience with them, and we

453
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.240
won't borrow our audience with that. But you know it.

454
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.960
I will just tell you personally that I think there's

455
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.279
so much self publishing going on and there's no monitoring

456
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.519
in my view, and if you go with a publishing

457
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:58.200
house that is credible with a lot of experience, you

458
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.079
get I guess the good house does it? Even good

459
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:05.240
house keeping still exist? I don't know, but you know

460
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:10.839
you get the seal of approval of a very credible organization. Well, David,

461
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.319
this was great. Any last words you want to share

462
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:15.680
with the with the audience.

463
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.720
I would say this one thing that when you think

464
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.440
about the beginning with the end in mind, Stephen Covey

465
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.799
one of those seven habits, and there's a terrific book

466
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.599
and I'm I'm sorry, I'm forgetting the woman's writer's name.

467
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.279
We put it in the show notes. But five Regrets

468
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.759
of the Dying.

469
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:36.319
Oh interesting, I've seen that book.

470
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.799
Looking at your you're on your your last gasp, just

471
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:47.519
before you transition, right, What what do you want to

472
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:48.119
be known for?

473
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.960
What? What is your legacy?

474
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.319
That's a great question, and I'm still in the process

475
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:57.359
of answering that question. But I'm much much clearer about

476
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.880
what I do on a Monday morning, living my core values,

477
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:04.240
being in service to others in a way that also

478
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:05.799
lights me up.

479
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:06.920
So it's not.

480
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.799
A forced march, but it's a joyful adventure. And if

481
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.880
you can get as clear as you can, as early

482
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.160
as you can, and you can thrive at any age,

483
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:24.319
then you will live a life of joy and ease.

484
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:27.640
You'll make your work your play. I don't intend to retire.

485
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.160
I don't think you do either. I just will be

486
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:35.680
choosing forms and fun people to be with and interesting,

487
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:40.160
challenging problems to solve until I can't. So that would

488
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.759
be my closing wish is everybody thinks about there just

489
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.359
before they pass, what do they want to be known for?

490
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:53.160
And to not wait momento Marey the stoics say, remember death,

491
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.880
not in a day of downer perspective, but in a

492
00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:59.960
this is a day that might be our labe.

493
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.799
How do we just squeeze all the juice out today?

494
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.759
Right? Yeah, that's really great. You know you've inspired me

495
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:12.799
in this conversation. I really feel a new breath of

496
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:16.400
excitement because of our discussion, and I thank you a

497
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:19.559
lot for that. And I'd like you to just say

498
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:22.319
to the audience how they get a hold of you, David,

499
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:27.160
because I think, you know, people need that opportunity to

500
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.000
really get to their core values and understand what they

501
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.480
are and understand what they look like in action, and

502
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:35.920
you could be great help the people on that score.

503
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:37.279
So how do people get a hold of you?

504
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.759
I suspect that you'll have a couple links in the

505
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:45.000
show notes and people can go to Regenerative World Group

506
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.119
Okay dot com. It's quite a mouthful, but Regenerative Worldgroup

507
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:51.359
dot com and you can learn a little bit more

508
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.880
about me and I have a number of free resources,

509
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:58.200
and it'd be a privilege to speak to any of

510
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:02.440
your listeners. There's a fifteen minute Discovery call if people

511
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.880
want to just have a chat about something that's priceless

512
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.559
and essential to them, Oh okay, and help them maybe

513
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.720
reframe something so that they can move forward.

514
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:14.200
Yeah, well that's a great those are two great criteria

515
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.720
we're thinking about things. Well, thank you so much, David.

516
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:21.440
This was enlightening. It was great, And you know, I've

517
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.839
known you for a while and I learned a lot

518
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.960
of stuff on this discussion that I did not really know,

519
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.680
so that was really good.

520
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:31.000
Is the best part of being a podcast host?

521
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.279
Yeah? Well, like I said to you, you know, it's

522
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.480
not about me. It's about the guests and what they can,

523
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.039
you know, bring to the party. So you have a

524
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:45.279
wonderful rest of the holiday season and a great twenty

525
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:45.960
twenty six.

526
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:47.039
Thank you so much.

527
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.440
Okay, Well, thank you everybody for listening. I hope that

528
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.759
you got as much out of this discussion as I did.

529
00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.519
And this show is going to be on every two

530
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:04.160
weeks with interesting and exciting people who've done a lot

531
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.359
in their lives and are continuing to do a lot

532
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.359
in their lives, no matter what stage they're in. And

533
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:17.160
you know, I coach some students at UNCW Wilmington in

534
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.480
North Carolina, and it's funny. Every it's not funny, really,

535
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:25.200
but every person, no matter what age they are, at

536
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.160
a certain point are thinking about what's their next. So

537
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.480
I want to break the attitudes and thoughts about people

538
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:40.839
who are older, who can't continue to contribute to the

539
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:46.880
world in a really meaningful way. Change our thinking about that,

540
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:51.839
because we're all going to live supposedly somewhere closer to

541
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:58.079
one hundred than people in the past have. Anyway, it's

542
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.440
been a pleasure. I hope you got some thing out

543
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:21.039
of it, and stay tuned look for me again. Bye.
