  • Built by creative professionals for creative professionals, at Optimize Yourself we believe it is absolutely possible to love what you do for a living…without having to sacrifice your health, relationships, or sanity in the process. Creative burnout is NOT inevitable!In a nutshell this podcast is a combination of Tim Ferriss meets Ted Lasso (minus the mustache). Hosted by Zack Arnold (ACE) - an award-winning Hollywood editor, producer, and director, a career coach, an American Ninja Warrior, and most importantly a father - these raw, honest, and candid conversations will both provide you with the necessary tools to optimize your creative potential as well as inspiring you to believe that you can.Whether it’s American Ninja Warrior superstar Jessie Graff (Zack’s ninja trainer), P90X creator Tony Horton (Zack’s fitness trainer), or Ramit Sethi (Zack’s business mentor)...or perhaps industry legends such as Walter Murch, Jeffrey Ford, Roger Barton, or Eddie Hamilton…or productivity gurus such as David Allen (GTD), Cal Newport (Deep Work), or James Clear (Atomic Habits),…we’ll provide you with the strategies, resources, and mindsets to help you design a clear path towards the more balanced, more productive, and more fulfilling life you deserve.

Amy is also an author and speaker focusing on gender, interpersonal dynamics, difficult conversations, feedback, and effective communication. Today, we're delving into her book, Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People), because, like it or not, collaboration is an inevitable part of our professional lives.In our conversation, Amy challenges the common belief that creative introverts, like myself, work best in isolation. She explains why collaboration is essential and highlights the importance of developing the skill to get along with others to achieve our best work. We explore the various types of colleagues we may encounter, including the difficult ones, and discuss how to transform these challenging relationships into productive and collaborative partnerships.Amy's insights are invaluable, regardless of your industry or whether you work independently. Given that interaction with others is a certainty, it makes more sense to turn these into positive, productive connections.Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn:How organizational strategies can collapse (even good ones) if people aren't getting alongWhy workplace relationships are more important than hard skillsHow creative introverts who think they work best alone are actually hindering their creativityKEY TAKEAWAY: The best idea didn't start as the best idea but as an idea that had some potentialThe importance of disagreements and creative friction to bring about the best possible productKEY TAKEAWAY: Relationships lead to better creativityThe first question you ask when you're overwhelmed and how it can reduce your stressWhy people don't like to work with peopleKEY TAKEAWAY: Even with difficult relationships, you can gain somethingWhy you need to learn how to work with difficult peopleCareer advice: Follow the relationshipsWhy we need 'work friends' aside from friends outside workWhat are the 8 archetypes of difficult people and how to deal with themKEY TAKEAWAY: The traits that bother you most often are the ones that are just like youHow to have an environment of creative collaborationHow to frame disagreements so you're all on the same side instead of competing with each otherThe 'fluffy little squirrel' strategy and how it can dampen aggressiveness in disagreementsGender differences and conflict: how to deal with biasesHow to deal with conflict brought about by generational gapsThe most important metaskill to learn: strategic empathyWhat is the 9th archetype of difficult people and how to deal with themHow to know if it's time to quitUseful Resources Mentioned:Ep260: How to Build Collaborative Cultures & Fix Toxic Creative Environments | with Chris DeaverEp218: How to Know (Without a Doubt) If It’s Time to Quit | with Annie DukeAmy’s newsletterContinue to Listen & LearnEp259: Overcoming Communication Fears for Introverted Creatives | with Bridget SampsonEp261: Meetings Don’t Have to Suck: Learn a Better Way to Create and Collaborate | with Dr. Steven RogelbergEp154: Using Humility to Cultivate Relationships and Land Your Dream Gig In Network TV | with Scott Powell, ACEEp139: Fostering Better Relationships and Improving Team Culture | with Jason BargerEp126: On the Importance of Building Relationships, Asking Questions, and Never Giving Up | with Andi ArmaganianEp78: How to Build Meaningful Relationships in the ‘Real World’ | with Camille VirginiaEp251: Building Skills, Relationships, and Weathering Industry Storms | with Shie RozowEp129: How to Cultivate a “Service-Centric” Mindset (and Why It Will Make You More Successful) | with Agustin RexachEp106: On the Vital Importance of “Being Nice” | with Jesse Averna, ACEEp133: Improve Your Networking Skills By Serving First (Instead of Selling) | with Liston WitherillEpisode Transcript[fusebox_transcript]Guest Bio:[caption id="attachment_21278" align="alignleft" width="400"] Amy Gallo[/caption] Amy Gallo is a workplace expert who writes and speaks about gender, interpersonal dynamics, difficult conversations, feedback, and effective communication.

We also talk about why meetings are so important in any organization, including the creative space, despite our collective aversion to it.
