Quote: “We have to take those hard moments and see what lessons can be learned and what can be applied from them, because that's where the growth happens.” Jevon Wooden As we go through life, many of us are searching for our purpose or our reason to keep improving.  Leaders are no different.

Quote: “We need to invest in ourselves, in the strength of our mind and the strength of our well-being.” Mike Pagan If there is anything that we have learned during COVID, it is that isolation is not good for our mental health and our overall well-being. Whether we are in a leadership role or a team member, we need to have support to help us feel connected and part of a team. Working in isolation, be that in a company or as part of a team (yes, team isolation is very real), can often cause a lack of direction and creativity, which prevents the ability to make decisions. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome Mike Pagan, who will share his “Mental Wealth” philosophy and how we can all help each other feel less isolated and alone. Mike is an executive coach with more than 25 years of combined corporate business management, coaching and consulting experience who coined the phrase “Mental Wealth.” He is an expert in helping clients achieve positive mental wealth through building hand-picked support networks and helping them unlock significant performance improvements. His expertise includes working with entrepreneurial small businesses through to corporate board members and professional sportsmen and women, both in the UK and internationally. Authentic Touch Points: Mike's path to mental health. 2:30 Being proactive and accountable. 5:00 Unintentional isolation. 8:30 Trust and empower your team. 13:30 CSR vs HSR. 16:00 Fill your own cup first. 19:00 Being vulnerable as a leader. 22:00 Creating team connection. 24:00 Mike has found himself lost at points in his career, alone and isolated due to a lack of meaningful proactive support. By surrounding himself with his own hand-picked Mental Wealth team of supportive people, he's now happier in life, more successful in business and feels more mentally and physically able to navigate the path ahead.

Quote: “I am an empathetic leader, and I do lead with my heart, but a lot of things are very factual and statistic-based, so I have to balance both of those things.” Lori Lococo Lori's episode was so popular that we decided to use it as a classic rewind. This information is so important, and teams need empathetic and caring leaders now more than ever! What is your leadership style? Are you a very fact and process-based leader or are you more driven by your heart and feel a connection to those you lead? Both are important traits, but in today's work climate, you really do need to have a good relationship with your team in order to succeed. Working to create a bond not only helps to put your people on a productive path but also helps you retain your best and brightest stars. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Lori Lococo to talk about her leadership experience and how those skills and lessons have assisted her in serving others. Lori is a current Niagara Falls City Councillor.  She is seeking re-election in the October municipal election. Lori has worked for over 25 years in Niagara's legal community, 14 years as the Administrator of a large firm. Lori has also worked for Census Canada in 2016 and 2021 and as a Court Reporter for the Ministry of the Attorney General. Authentic Touch Points: Lori's journey to city council. 1:30 The benefits of Toastmasters. 3:00 Authentic mentors who helped along the way. 6:30 Being genuine creates connection. 9:00 Strategically dealing with issues. 12:30 Balanced processing and perspectives. 16:30 Choosing to serve others. 18:00 One of the most rewarding experiences was her term as International Director of Toastmasters International, a non-profit communication and leadership organization. Her leadership on the world stage as a Board Director for Toastmasters has expanded her role as an ambassador for Niagara everywhere she goes.

Quotes: “Silent suffering is suffering without the possibility of hope.” Marla Thomas“No matter how dark things get, things can get better.” Dave Thomas With so much being said in the media and posted on social media about mental health, the stigma has lessened, but mental health issues are not without preconceived prejudices. With more celebrities speaking out and sharing their own mental health struggles, it's better, but we're still nowhere near ending the discrimination that many people face every day. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Marla and Dave Thomas to share the story of their adult children and how you can help stop the biases. Dave Thomas is a 10x Grammy Award-winning member of TAKE6. Marla is a celebrity realtor and motivational speaker. Together, they are fierce and vocal mental health awareness advocates. Married for 35 years, which is nearly unheard of in Hollywood, this power couple has raised three children in the glow of the spotlight - two of them have been diagnosed with a litany of mental health challenges. Authentic Touch Points: A bit about Marla and Dave. 3:30 Values and respect. 8:00 Staying grounded at home. 13:00 A continued connection. 18:30 Compassion for the diagnosis. 27:00 The stress of division. 37:00 Advice for parents. 44:00 Marla and Dave are dedicated to helping families find resources to care for their loved ones with mental health challenges and ending the stigma attached to mental health. Their foundation, Loving Beyond Reason, is committed to helping people with brain differences become productive and healthy members of their communities. According to the Harvard Center for Health Decision Science, the estimate for the global burden of mental disorders is approximately $5 trillion USD. They also estimate that at a regional level, the losses could account for about 8% of the gross domestic product in North America. Just how much of that amount is your company paying out, and what can you save by being proactive? It's time to take action and make a difference!

Quote: “Do what helps you to think straight, then you can start taking action.” Steve Judge How are you when something traumatic happens? Do you sit and wallow in self-pity? Do you spring into action right away? Or do you take some time, figure out how to proceed and move ahead carefully? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're privileged to welcome Resilience Expert Steve Judge to share the journey that took him from sitting in a wheelchair to standing on the stage as a keynote speaker and resilience coach.

However, following a multitude of operations and intensive care from the NHS, he was able to progress forward. Not leaning on his excuses, he set goals, turning his excuses into challenges; he eventually learned to stand and walk again.

Quote: “My summary of what resilience is, is that it's not bouncing back…it's about growing through.” Mark Black Managing change is not always easy, but it is necessary in order to grow and maintain a healthy and resilient mindset. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're thrilled to welcome Mark Black to share his story of embracing adversity to thrive through change and talk about his brand-new book, The Resilience Roadmap. Mark is a heart and double-lung transplant recipient, turned 4-time marathon runner. A resilience expert, coach, and author, he helps people “Thrive in Challenging Times.” His programs provide the tools to transform your adversity into your advantage. Mark doesn't just teach resilience, he embodies it. Born with a life-threatening heart defect, Mark underwent two open-heart surgeries before the age of one. He battled his condition and its limitations for twenty-two years until he was forced to deal with the biggest obstacle of his young life. His doctor informed him that his heart was failing, and without a rare and dangerous heart and double-lung transplant, he would not see his 25th birthday. In 2002, Mark was fortunate that a suitable donor was found. He not only survived the surgery, but less than 3 years later, Mark became the only man in history to run a marathon with someone else's heart and lungs. Authentic Touch Points: Mark's long and arduous health journey. 3:00 It's part of my “normal”. 7:30 Don't worry about what you can't control. 11:00 Connecting with, not comparing stories. 18:00 Quiet reflection breeds acceptance. 22:00 The Resilience Roadmap. 24:30 Resilience is formed by making mistakes. 30:00 Adaptability tips for leaders. 34:00 Mark is now a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation held by less than 1000 speakers in the world. He has inspired more than 150,000 people in more than 450 presentations and has worked with global brands including Exxon Mobil and Mercedes Benz, as well as many national and regional associations. Mark lives in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada where he spends as much time as possible with the most important people in his life; his wife Marise and their three children.

Quote: “A Scientific America study found that the most effective meetings are those meetings that have a lot of humour and joking around & banter in them, because people are more honest, people open up more and they're more creative and innovative.” Michael Kerr  We are not all blessed with the humour gene.

Gender equality works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders; today we're focusing on women and their rights. Quote: “There's really a need to invest in the empowerment of women underground. Whether it's economically, socially, culturally, it has to be a package.” Tacko Ndiaye The Women's Equality Movement started almost 200 years now. Every decade has had more and more women speaking up and speaking out in an attempt to create a more equitable world for women and girls around the globe. Women's rights are human rights! These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're privileged to have Tacko Ndiaye join us to talk about her book Women and share her experience of more than 25 years fighting for women everywhere.

Quote: “In the survey that we did, the very great majority of organizations don't have a formal approach to enabling their senior leaders to leave well and therefore create the space for new leaders to arrive.” Oliver Johnston  This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here's the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/senior-leadership-with-oliver-johnston/ Senior leaders work hard to claim their place in the company, but how do they know when it's time to let someone else take over the reins? No one is given a best-before date, so how are they supposed to know the best time to transition into an encore career or retirement? Senior leaders can step out too early, and they can step out too late.  Getting it just right isn't as easy as it might seem. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top, Oliver Johnston, to share his ideas and expertise on offboarding and the support that may be required for this significant career and life transition. Oliver is the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top Team. Stepping Out is a specialist coaching practice that helps senior leaders step out from the executive suite successfully. In December 2020, Oliver retired from his professional coaching practice in order to concentrate solely on leading the Stepping Out practice. He is an accredited Stepping Out Coach and a highly experienced top team advisor and facilitator.  Authentic Touch Points: Retirement is a relatively new concept. 2:00 How companies can prepare for change. 5:00 It's never too early to start planning. 10:00 The 3 Horizons. 13:30 Where do we go from here? 22:30 What companies should consider. 27:30 Oliver was a highly successful business consultant with an international reputation in change, organizational and leadership development.

Senior leaders can step out too early, and they can step out too late.  Getting it just right isn't as easy as it might seem. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome (all the way from Belfast, Ireland) the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top, Oliver Johnston, to share his ideas and expertise on offboarding and the support that may be required for this significant career and life transition. This was such a great interview packed with so much interesting information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Be sure to tune in again next week for part II. Oliver Johnston is the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top Team. Stepping Out is a specialist coaching practice that helps senior leaders step out from the executive suite successfully. In December 2020, Oliver retired from his professional coaching practice in order to concentrate solely on leading the Stepping Out practice. He is an accredited Stepping Out Coach and a highly experienced top team advisor and facilitator.  Authentic Touch Points: Oliver's 2nd encore career. 2:00 What is The Goldilocks Dilemma? 4:30 How do you know when it's time? 10:30 Exploring options to transition. 18:30 Arrivals and departures. 27:00 How companies prepare for succession. 31:00 Oliver was a highly successful business consultant with an international reputation in change, organizational and leadership development. He has extensive experience working in a wide variety of sectors, including accounting, banking and finance, academic and research, law, consulting, IT, pharmaceuticals, engineering & manufacturing, food & beverage, retailing, public service & administration, energy & utilities, transport & logistics. Oliver's passion is supporting senior executives as they think, plan and execute their journey from the top team to the exit door and move on to new adventures. As I offer executive coaching, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic selves to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict. Click here to contact me at your convenience, or click here to Chat with Roxanne!

Quote: “We have to express our accomplishments and our roles to inspire others to be daring and to be courageous to bring our hearts and leadership to the table.” Wendelijn van der Leest This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here's the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/female-leadership-and-happiness-with-wendelijn-van-der-leest/ History books are full of facts and stories about men that have been written since the beginning of time, but what about their female counterparts? It has only been in the last few decades that much research has been done to showcase women in ancient history. To help bring some of their stories to light and discover their amazing accomplishments, we're thrilled to welcome Historian and Female Leadership Expert Wendelijn van der Leest to share some of her knowledge about women in history and how they have paved the way for current female leaders. Wendelijn is a historian, female leadership expert and mom of two living in the Netherlands. Although she holds degrees and Ph.D. work in both ancient and contemporary history, her heart and research lies at the intersection of female leadership and the themes of happiness and success in ancient Roman society. Her research on Roman women has inspired her own life and work, generating the courage to deal with internal and external limitations, communicate her accomplishments aligned to her heart and have trust in her network of support.  Authentic Touch Points: Female leadership through the ages. 3:00 Transformational qualities that women need. 8:00 Women need to be each other's allies. 12:00 Happiness and female leadership. 18:00 For the greater good. 22:00 The 3 Key Learnings. 26:00 The state of Sisterhood. 32:00 With ‘Geschiedenisschrijven' (‘Writing History') Wendelijn connects people and businesses to their magnificent histories, to utilize the knowledge, inspiration and solutions that so often lies dormant. Wendelijns motto: I am committed to history. Not just for what it reveals about the past, but for what it reveals about me, my community, my nation and the world at large. History is a tool to help us into the future.” As I offer executive coaching, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic selves to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict. Click here to contact me at your convenience, or click here to Chat with Roxanne!

Quote: “It's good to listen to the other side. Listening to people in an atmosphere of respect without judging them, no matter what they say, just listen to the other side and their perspectives.” Dr. Karyne Messina This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here's the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/blame-shifting-with-dr-karyne-messina/ We have seen a major shift in the political landscape over the last several years. It seems that we have become fairly desensitized to hearing outrageous statements made by those in power.

Her latest book, Resurgence of Global Populism: A Psychoanalytic Study of Projective Identification, Blame-Shifting and the Corruption of Democracy (Routledge Publishing, August 2022), offers evidence of how populists can wrest power and sow discord while eroding democratic processes in a slow decline towards authoritarianism. Authentic Touch Points: Perpetuating a fear-based mindset. 2:00 Finding common ground. 5:00 How fear is affecting business. 11:00 Trauma is ongoing. 14:00 Karyne's book intentions. 16:00 Taking responsibility. 18:30 Karyne is a supervising and training analyst at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis and is on the medical staff at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD, part of Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Quote: “When you're owning it, the expression of your brand becomes almost effortless.” Julianna Bootsman This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here's the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/conscious-leadership-with-julianna-bootsman/ There is so much talk lately about love in the workplace (no, not that kind of love), and we know that some are not yet willing to embrace the concept. There is a lot to be said about leading with your heart, and I discuss this in-depth in my soon-to-be-released book ROR: Return On Relationships. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're thrilled to welcome Conscious Leadership Coach Julianna Bootsman to share her expertise on the topic of love as the foundation for leadership and business. Julianna is the Chief Spiritual Officer who works with companies and leaders around the world. She builds and facilitates Conscious Leadership training programs that guide companies and leaders to live and operate from the foundation of love, with both heart and head working together to create outcomes where everyone thrives. As Chief Spiritual Officer, Julianna is a leader in human growth and cultural change, connecting the spirit of who you are to the spirit of what you do. Authentic Touch Points: It starts at the top. 4:00 We're all in the same boat. 6:30 Integrate company values into your operating system. 10:30 K-O-A 13:00 How we impact the bottom line. 18:00 Tips to get started. 20:30 Connecting to the “breath” of your company. 24:00 Love is what resurrected Julianna from years of secretive bulimia and a traumatic divorce. It's what fuels her fire for motherhood and lights the way for her company. Today, she is an ICF-certified coach, certified mindfulness and meditation practitioner, award-winning communicator, and speaker. Working with leaders on all levels, she has a unique ability to guide people through topics, conversations and experiences that inspire and creates shifts in perspective and long-lasting change and transformation.  As I offer executive coaching, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic selves to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict. Click here to contact me at your convenience, or click here to Chat with Roxanne!
