Pilot

In the pilot episode of this podcast, we dig into the pilot episode of the “Ted Lasso” series. What is “The Lasso Way,” how does it apply to the real world – and how can we use it to live happier, more positive lives? “This ability to kind of let things roll off your back a little bit more and not take them seriously, I guess, have that faith that they’re gonna come around, like it’s gonna be okay.” - Dimple As a pair of diehard Ted Heads (who just happen to have backgrounds in leadership and positive psychology), we love Ted’s flexible, supportive leadership style.  In this episode we explore “The Lasso Way” and dive into various themes including the virtue of being uncomfortable, toxic positivity, connecting through kindness and a whole lot more. “You’re gonna come across a lot of people who just aren’t gonna see things the way that you do.” - Dimple In This Episode: [02:15] If you’re comfortable doing something, you’re probably doing it wrong [04:42] Introducing “The Lasso Way” [06:40] “Other people matter” mentality [09:40] Ted Lasso and Coach Beard’s chemistry [18:13] Jason Sudeikis’ SNL stint [20:17] Not everything is about you [24:19] The importance of connecting to people, especially during the pandemic [29:52] Making an impact on other people’s lives through kindness [34:04] Ted Lasso and the idea of toxic positivity [43:59] How the word “believe” resonates with us [46:48] “What Would Ted Lasso Do?” lessons to put into practice Resources & Links: We’d love to hear from you! #WWTLD  https://www.wwtldpodcast.com/ https://twitter.com/wwtldpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/wwtldpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/wwtldpodcast/ Learn More About Dimple Dhabalia  https://www.rootsintheclouds.com/ https://twitter.com/dimpstory https://www.instagram.com/dimpstory/ https://www.facebook.com/dimpledhabalia https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimpledhabalia/ Why Radically Human Leadership Is More Important Than Ever  https://www.rootsintheclouds.com/blog/why-radically-human-leadership-is-more-important-than-ever 4 Steps to Creating A Human-Centered Organization https://www.rootsintheclouds.com/blog/004-4-steps-to-creating-a-human-centered-organization Learn More About Jeff Harry: https://www.rediscoveryourplay.com/ https://twitter.com/jeffharryplays https://www.instagram.com/jeffharryplays/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffharryplays/ https://www.youtube.com/jeffharryplays https://www.tiktok.com/@jeffharryplays Building Psychological Safety At Work https://www.rediscoveryourplay.com/building-psychological-safety Solve Your Problem With Play https://www.rediscoveryourplay.com/coaching Jeff’s Positive Psychology Playlist https://www.rediscoveryourplay.com/playlist
