79: The Red Threads of Engagement

79: The Red Threads of Engagement

In a variety of European countries, the expression “red thread” refers to the core idea or theme of something. It is as the “throughline” that allows everything else to make sense. In this episode, Kasey and Brian discuss some "red threads" that weave through all types of engagement and hold them together - that allow them to make sense.

The "6+1 Types of Engagement" come from episode 68: "Rethinking that which shall not be named." which are:

  • Social
  • Emotional
  • Physical
  • Cultural
  • Intellectual
  • Behavioral
  • Personal

The Red Threads that tie all types of engagement together are:

  • The impact of Environment
  • The power of Story
  • The importance of Authenticity
  • The need for Optimism
  • The demand for Respect
  • Resist the desire to Rank
