Hey Friends,  Have you ever thought about opening up your relationship? Maybe you’re curious about if it will really work or not, and the level of trust and communication that is needed in order to navigate it successfully. From having different partners, to learning how to communicate, and creating a deeper bond within their own marriage, Katherine Lazruk shares what the experience of opening up her marriage has been like.  Join us as we welcome Katherine Lazaruk, a poet and author of the collection Love is Not Pie: Variations on a Monogamish Theme. Love is Not Pie is a personal exploration navigating the world of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory.  Katherine Lazaruk wrote this poetry collection after her own experience of embracing radical honesty in her marriage, when she extended herself into the realm of non-traditional relationships. She has spent nearly twenty-five years exploring personal growth, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. She brings that knowledge to her poetry, sharing what it feels like to be fully embodied, fully yourself, and fully expressed in this limited world.  She is a huge fan of opera, jazz, and of course poetry—reading the work of others as well as creating her own. When she's not working or writing, she can be found enjoying live music, movies, good food and drinks and hanging out with her dear husband, David, and a plethora of chosen family and good friends. Listen in as we talk about:   What to know about Katherine off the bat   Giving yourself the ‘permission slip’ you’re looking for   Her dating history and how she met her husband   Knowing what your deal breakers are   Reconnecting with an old flame and realizing she liked flirting    Starting the conversation around having an open marriage    How polyamorous relationships work   The importance of open and honest communication    Non consensual non-monogamy   Can you trust someone to tell you the truth when you know they are lying to someone else?   The wedge COVID created   Starting the process of writing her book   The meaning of the book title   The aftermath of different relationships and going to therapy   More about her husband and other partners she has had   How do you tell your families about this type of relationship   Triangle Theory of relationships   Getting to learn different versions of yourself through your relationships    Episode Sponsors   Arbonne Greens Gut Glow Bundle.

104: We Just (Opened Our Marriage)!! Now What? with Katherine Lazaruk

Want to hear two passionate Canadians riffing about the systems that are not designed to support parity, equity or inclusion? You got it! My guest this week, Katherine Lazarus, shares her leadership journey from teaching music and singing opera to becoming an executive coach. We delve into the concept of executive presence - what it is and whether it is still relevant in today's world. We discuss the meaning of feeling empowered (and why that can be a cringeworthy word), the importance of balanced leadership and responsible exercise of power.  This is a conversation that illuminates hidden challenges manifest in the changing dynamics of leadership and why we need a new leadership paradigm that embraces diversity and authenticity. We also touch on the challenges faced by leaders in adapting to these changes and the power of vulnerability in creating a supportive and inclusive workplace. It’s a truly fascinating way to look at the evolution of leadership!  Shownotes See more at http://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/leadership-paradigm-katherine-lazaruk   Key Moments  *Feeling Empowered and the Death of Executive Presence [00:01:11]* Exploration of personal empowerment and the concept of executive presence, including a conversation with guest Katherine Lazarus.   *Gender Parity in Leadership [00:07:30]* Discussion about the lack of gender parity in leadership roles, the desire for more balanced leadership, and the challenges faced by women in positions of power.   *The happiest years of people's lives [00:09:54]* Discussion about research suggesting that the happiest years of people's lives are between the ages of 50 and 75.   *Moving from hierarchical to relational leadership models [00:10:23]* Exploration of the shift in leadership models from hierarchical and authority-based to more integrated and relational approaches.   *Challenges of relating and handling diversity in the workplace [00:14:41]* Discussion about the need for improved relational skills, social intelligence, cultural intelligence, and emotional intelligence to create a workplace where individuals can bring their whole selves and feel valued and understood.   *The Paradigm Shift [00:19:21]* Discussion on the outdated leadership model and the need for a new paradigm that is not based on gender.   *Leadership Behaviours [00:20:26]* Exploration of leadership behaviours that are divorced from gender and cultural norms.   *Challenging Old Paradigms [00:25:54]* Encouragement to look beyond traditional stereotypes and focus on the content, actions, and whole person when identifying leaders.   *The importance of human emotions in leadership [00:29:07]* Discussion on the portrayal of men as human beings with emotions in TV shows like Ted Lasso and the need to focus on universal human experiences.   *The need for systemic change in organisations [00:30:58]* Exploration of the need for systemic changes in policies, meetings, and expectations in organisations to create a mentally healthy and collaborative workplace.   *Challenging the default mindset and metrics in leadership [00:33:30]* Discussion on the need to challenge default metrics like return on investment and move towards measuring other metrics that ensure a mentally healthy and collaborative workplace.   *The Purpose of Business [00:38:46]* Discussion on the purpose of business and the idea of creating more for all, not just for some.   *Empowering Women vs. Gaining Power [00:40:22]* Exploration of the concept of empowering women and the alternative idea of women gaining power and exercising it responsibly.   *External Packaging and Executive Presence [00:45:40]* Reflection on the importance of personal presentation and guidelines for external packaging to develop executive presence in the workplace.
