Coffee with Claire

Many of us face challenges early on that shape us and could define us. But how we react to those forces and experiences is what truly makes us the people we are.Life is about choices. Choosing a fork in the road and then understanding the related consequences is a part of life. If you can harness the power, positive or negative, of a given life experience, then one can move forward in the direction of their choosing.Our guest today has overcome many obstacles in life and used them as stepping stones for his next phase of life.

It’s been called the amazing hidden industry because billions of dollars are spent each year on it and the public rarely sees the output.Just how does the business-to-business trade show industry work and who is behind it all?Companies doing business with other companies rely on the face-to-face marketing and selling that trade shows offer. In the past year, over $13.2 billion dollars were spent on trade shows in the US alone with projections of 2 percent growth per quarter. A big part of trade shows are the exhibits and displays that companies rely upon.Our guest today has spent her career building and managing relationships and exhibits around the world.

Our family history is a major part of who we are. Being able to record or write down that history is a special thing.An important and impactful part of that process is capturing the memories of our senior family members. Seeing the past through their eyes as recalled in the stories they tell, makes life from another time come to life. It also helps cement a bond between generations that can’t be done in other ways.Our guest today calls his experience working with his father to write his dad’s memoir one of the most inspiring times of his life.

Let’s face it, the world of work is changing. Who does what at a company isn’t what it used to be.And that’s okay.The outsourcing of jobs, responsibilities, and skillsets beyond the core capabilities of a company is an efficient way to get things completed. Bringing in talent specific to a function is a great way to maximize people power. It is a way of ensuring everything in a company gets done and done well.Our guest today knows what it is like to have to navigate a variety of organizations and their numbers from the back office to the boardroom.

In today’s buying and selling markets we always hear about “the experience.”Well, just what is the buying experience and why should it matter to me?When it comes to buying a home, probably the biggest purchase anyone makes in their lifetime, it is incredibly important. Having the right team in place to help you find and then buy the home of your dreams is more than salesmanship and bravado. It’s about experience, market savvy and a passion for the business – and your clients.Our guest today has made a career from building relationships and focusing on outstanding results for her clients. Let’s talk with Tonya Walker about what sets her apart from her peers and how she creates the “Ultimate Real Estate Experience.”

And it can help give you power you didn’t know you had.My guest today has helped thousands of people discover their core identity and with it the value in life they have coming to them.#selflove #identity #valueinlife

Life is an adventure to be experienced. And done so intentionally. When you take responsibility for your personal growth, you put yourself on the path to fulfilling your life’s purpose.Being intentional in your life also opens you up to conversation and to learning. It helps you build a network of friends and business contacts and also builds your self-confidence. You have to lead yourself before you can become a leader.Our guest today is Nancy Canada, a principal consultant with New Paradigm Advisors, an executive director with The John Maxwell Team and a former human resources leader responsible for finding, evaluating and integrating talent into organizations.

Obesity and being overweight are two very significant health care issues in our world today with over 70 percent of our population suffering from these maladies. Beyond surgery and invasive procedures, what are people’s options when it comes to overcoming these health challenges?Back and neck pain, joint aches, muscle aches and soreness, chronic pain and gastrointestinal conditions are mostly caused by weight issues.What if you could combat these health conditions by treating them naturally and accelerating the healing process and maintaining your health long term?My guests today use their skills as doctors of chiropractic as well as their knowledge of anti-inflammatories and health and wellness products and practices to treat these pains and accelerate weight loss in their patients.Let’s learn about Health Factor Weight Loss, the natural solution to losing weight.

Let’s talk with Taffie Lynn Butters about how she made her jalapeno dream a reality and does good at the same time.

Whether it’s choosing a doctor, hospital or other medical provider, or paying for high cost prescription medications, health care is front and center in most of our lives these days. People are looking for solutions to spread their financial resources without sacrificing quality or skipping necessary care. It can feel like a rat race with no way out.One of those solutions is something many of us are not aware of, something called destination medical care, the idea of traveling to medical center other than the closest one to come up with the best outcome, timely access to care and manageable costs. Where this was once seen as only for wealthy, individual patients, it’s now become a practical option for companies trying to manage benefit costs and individual patient alike. Our guest today has taken this concept to the next level and not only made good care available to more people he’s found ways to make it affordable, available and practical.

So much of our lives are marked by special occasions: engagements, weddings, milestone birthdays and anniversaries and just plain important days.A big part of these special days and times are the gifts we give one another.

During storm season in the U.S., it seems no one is immune to the ravages of the weather.When your home and livelihood are at stake, timing is everything.

We’ve all been asked “how are you feeling today?” Sometimes we know how to answer and sometimes we don't.Being able to sort out our feelings from our emotions can be a challenge.While emotions are related to physical conditions, feelings are sparked by emotions. Feelings are the product of your brain’s perception of things. So when we suppress or unleash our emotions, those actions can have a tremendous impact on our physical health and life.Our guest today has spent her career helping people identify and cope with their emotions and feelings.

Drama and conflict are everywhere in our lives today. In the books, movies and popular media we consume.

It’s their imagination that dreams up the idea, their strategic thinking and planning that allows the plan to unfold, and their determination and will power that gets them through the uncharted waters.
