A recent poll found that on average, people waste over 12 hours a week on non-value-added stuff. If you extrapolate that out, that's 624 hours a year, equivalent to 26 DAYS. That means we lose 26 days a year, or almost a month, to non-value-added activities! That does not include the time we are sleeping, only waking hours.

What if we could take back that time and apply it to our personal development? What if we took that time to improve our organizations, our teams, our families, and our communities? What if everyone on your team focused on the same value-added exercises such as working with an executive coach? The possibilities are endless.

So the next time you are asked the question, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years," instead of mumbling through some cheesy answer that equates to I plan on wasting 5 months on stuff, you could say I plan on investing 3,120 hours into being a better version of myself.

Join Doc and Rich on the Protect Your Patch podcast as we discuss the importance of time management and personal development.

Do you hate going to work to feel like another cog in someone else's machine? Is there a dart board at your home with your boss's picture on it? Do you cringe when it is annual review time, or question if communication from senior leadership is a myth? Perhaps even pointing fingers and laughing at those who claim to have seen the CEO? If so, you may be suffering from Toxic Culture Syndrome (TCS).

If you are suffering from TCS, you are not alone. According to research from Deloitte, only 12 percent of employees think their employers are “excellent” when it comes to driving the right company culture. Because culture is a top-down function and must begin with the CEO, this indicates poor or struggling leadership. This research indicates that 88 percent of organizations need to take a serious look at why their company is struggling with TCS.

Fortunately, there is a cure for TCS. Join Doc Smith and Rich on this episode of Protect Your Patch as we discuss Toxic Culture and some of the signs that indicate you are struggling with TCS.

In our last episode, we discussed the 7X ROI that can be realized from executive coaching. But what does that look like? What real values can you get from working with an executive coach? And how exactly do you get the ROI from coaching?

Rich and Doc Smith talk about the value of executive coaching in this episode of Protect Your Patch.
