PITY PARTY OVER by Stephen Matini

Hi, I am Stephen. I created a podcast called Pity Party Over, dedicated to professionals, teams, and organizations seeking practical ideas for results and happiness. Pity Party Over is when after stumbling on the same issue a million times, we finally get genuinely fed up and decide to take one final step to overcome it. The podcast's name is an invitation to leave a painful situation behind after feeling self-indulgently sorry.

I TALK ABOUT

Change, Communication, Conflict, Decision-Making, Diversity, Influence, Innovation, Leadership, Management, Negotiation, Strategy, Teamwork, Time, and Stress.

Leveraging people’s potential and boosting motivation entails integrating a consultative-training approach with honest, kind, authentic conversations. Human-to-Human conversations mean creating space where people can be seen, heard, and acknowledged as whole beings.

Not knowing how to deal with mortality hinders our ability to be compassionate and caring towards others and ourselves. By developing a deeper understanding and awareness of this natural process, we become advocates for our loved ones.

A good strategy questions all certainties and assumptions with a curious, open, and flexible attitude. Strategy is not a rigid plan based on dangerous false assumptions but the smallest set of choices that optimally guide or force other choices.
