In Episode #033 of CrisisCast 2020 | Jos Willard Jos Willard - An Alaskan American describes Alberta, Canada (where he lives) as the Texas of Canada! Before he was a coach, he used to blow up tanks and jump out of airplanes for the US Army. In this episode, we discuss how wargaming can help us, staying focused on the journey and gives a good reminder of why we all need to get out from behind our computer screens.  About Jos: Are you a coach or service professional who's tired of having to make decisions based on what's in the bank account? Do you want a profitable practice, full of your ideal clients, that supports your family - WITHOUT taking advantage of your clients, feeling slimy, or stressed out? I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR VALUES-  NOT YOUR BANK BALANCE.  I also believe that the best way to do that is to have a full bank account. Do you want the freedom to work with only your ideal clients, and to make your decisions based on your values, rather than “what you can afford?” Would you like to have control over your schedule, so you can have the time to recharge and bring your best work to your clients every day, without shortchanging your family? My mission is to help good coaches build profitable practices so that they are rewarded for making a positive impact in the world, living from their values, and helping exactly the people they’re meant to serve. Not to brag, but I have more than two decades of international experience mentoring, coaching, training, and making millions of dollars for my clients’ businesses. I’ve been lucky enough to befriend (and smart enough to hire!) some amazing coaches and mentors in my life and reaped the benefits. Now, I “pay it forward” by coaching and mentoring a select number of clients “behind the scenes.” My clients have run the gamut from single coaches and service professionals to multi-location regional businesses, to international organizations. If anything I’ve said here resonates with you, and you’d like to explore working with me as a client, then we should schedule a conversation.    Discover… An overview of life in Alberta, Canada • Who’s spending money now • How Jos stays sane through outrage, stress, and fear Connect with Jos Profit For CoachesJos on LinkedIn Instagram: @Jos_Willard Facebook: @realcoachjos Twitter: @joswillard Feeling Pod-Curious?

In Episode #030 of CrisisCast 2020 | Abigail Rose Clarke I connected with health behavior expert Abigail Rose Clarke through Lena West (episode 17) and I immediately knew she would give a unique perspective from her home in Mexico. It’s normal that I’d ask guests to close windows for sound quality reasons… but in this case, I wasn’t able to because Abigail has no windows where she lives! So all the pleasant animal sounds in this show are real and of course, none were harmed in the making of this podcast. Our conversation covers COVID-19, global protests, history, pleasure, and her work as helping people have better relationships with their bodies through her ‘Embodied Life Method’. “A revolution must be an evolution” - Grace Lee Boggs My Guest: Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic educator focusing on strategic, tangible, embodied methods to create lasting change in our personal and communal lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change. By helping people truly inhabit their own skin and blood and guts and bones she offers a way to re-enter into a true relationship with the world.   Abigail holds a degree in Health Behavior from Smith College and focused her undergraduate work on the use of mind-body modalities in the treatment of anxiety disorders as classified by the DSM-V. Her work focuses on the class and race access barriers to wellness, and the ways wellness and the wellness industry are inherently political, even as the body transcends politics. In 2014 Abigail began developing The Embodied Life Method™. In courses and workshops throughout the United States and online, Abigail teaches embodiment as a practice and a responsibility. As the world shakes and burns and floods we are tasked with remaining present to the world as it is, which requires we remain present to ourselves as we are. Only when we are willing to be present with the world and ourselves and one another does the way forward become possible. There isn’t a single binary in your body. Nature knows no hierarchy. When we remember that we have more in common with the stones and trees and mossy woods than we do with steel buildings and supremacies of any kind, we live into the future. This is The Embodied Life Method™   Discover… How COVID has impacted life in Mexico • Why we should put healing at the focus of how we’re living now • Thoughts on post-COVID education • What ‘The Embodied Life Method’ is • How governments are changing • Why relationships with the world start inside Connect with Abigail Abigail Rose Clarke.com Abigail Rose Clarke on Facebook Abigail on Instagram Feeling Pod-Curious?

From her home in Chicago - Shelley Paxton. After 26 years in the corporate world where her last position was Chief Marketing Officer at Harley Davidson… To the shock of her family friends and coworkers She left and went on her Soulbbatical (have no fear this term is fully explained). Shelley has gone on to become a coach, an author, and has truly started her life all over again. Along with the health crisis, Black Lives Matter is now at the forefront of our lives and the conversation. I was so grateful to Shelley for speaking with me about the deep work she is doing, how she plans to be part of the solution, and books we need to read. We’re so proud to be publishing her new podcast Rebel Souls - coming in August. Here’s just a sample of the treat your ears have in store.  My Guest Authenticity is the truest form of rebellion. What are you rebelling for? At the height of my 26-year career as an accomplished marketing executive and global brand leader – having become CMO of Harley-freaking-Davidson – I discovered that the view from the top of the corporate ladder lacked the fulfillment I expected. In fact, it was taking the joy out of my life—and the life out of me. I had been playing by someone else’s rules for so long that I didn’t even realize what I'd lost: a connection to my own soul. It would take a couple years, several international flights, and innumerable moments of self-reflection to regain my deepest, truest sense of self. It took a full blown Soulbbatical to get reacquainted with my purpose: to teach people how to rebel for who they are, what they want, and the impact they want to have in the world. I’ve reached a point in my life where I’ve realized that to rebel against something—the establishment, the rules, the red tape—isn’t nearly as productive, meaningful or fulfilling as rebelling for something. I started Soulbbatical, the company, with the mission to liberate the souls of leaders and organizations by inspiring them to realize (and rebel for) their greatest purpose, possibility, and impact. As an ICF-certified professional coach, I work with executives at Fortune 100 companies as well as fellow rebel soul individuals and entrepreneurs. I’ve trained with some of the top teachers in the world, including Brené Brown, researcher and five-time New York Times bestselling author, and Rich Litvin, master coach and author of The Prosperous Coach. I wrote Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel’s Guide to Finding Your Best Life (published by Simon & Schuster in January 2020) as a manifesto on breaking free from the traditional shoulds and should-nots of life and leadership. It’s about rewriting the script of success—personally and professionally. It’s not the six-figure salary and corner office. It’s not external validation. Success is radical self-commitment – giving yourself permission to be YOU. It’s saying yes to what serves you and no to what doesn’t. It’s carving your own path. It’s becoming success-FULL instead of success-EMPTY. If you’d like to hire me for coaching or book me to speak, email me at shelley@soulbbatical.com or InMail me. Graduated from Boston College with a B.S. in Marketing, from the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program (with Omnicom University), and from the iPEC Coaching Program. I’m also a Certified Dare to LeadTM Facilitator. Connect with Shelley Soulbbatical LinkedIn Feeling Pod-Curious? Maybe it’s time to start your own Podcast?

In Episode #026 of CrisisCast 2020 | Mark McRae Recorded on June 3rd. A word from Australia’s Sunshine Coast with Scottish business owner, investor, and mentor Mark McRae. Mark shares his thoughts on mindset, being a good buyer, the importance of respecting legacy, and why the IQ of the wealthy isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. 

 My Guest: Mark McRae There are thousands of emerging businesses, some with life-changing ideas that we will never hear about. The unfortunate fact is that they just do not have the skills and knowledge to get them to the next level. My mission is to work closely with small business owners to help them achieve dramatic growth in both profits and lifestyle.

 I want to share with you how to grow profits, scale your business, and avoid things that cause most CEOs and Founders to fail. Over 25 years, I have owned 30 different businesses in 6 different countries.

When I started my first company, the profits were slim, and I was battling with how to grow my business. Even with barely making any money, I invested in a mentor to help me expand my vision. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made and the experience I have gained from these multi-million-dollar companies ignited my passion for helping other professionals build their companies to the success that they envisioned.

 I provide one on one consultation with individuals and companies to present them strategic solutions both financially and personally. The real-world experience and knowledge I have gained are from the challenges every business owner may face. My goal is to help your company save time and money by breaking down the problem, providing insight, and creating strategic solutions that are manageable to complete.

 If you are interested in learning more about how I can help your business see higher profits and better efficiency, feel free to connect with me.

Today on Crisiscast2020 - I take you to Amsterdam for a chat with Sander Den Boer where lockdown seems to be fairly relaxed compared to the UK and much of the rest of the world. We talk, mental health, dog ownership, and SaaS - In case you were unaware - SaaS stands for Software as a Service. S think ‘apps’. Sander uses his skills to help the nerds behind these SaaS products sell their stuff to those who need it. So here’s my chat with my European neighbor Sander Den Boer. My Guest: I help SaaS companies finding new clients by writing website content, sales funnels, and emails that generate and convert leads and improves their brand recognition.  I always strike a balance between being conversational whilst always using a professional tone. I know what it takes to convince decision-makers that you can successfully help their company and its employees. The principle is simple: show that your tools provide value, help people, and ultimately increase the company’s bottom line. Getting the right tools is incredibly important in advancing any business. This is something I take to heart as I constantly learn new things about marketing, copywriting, and – in my spare time – making music.

In Episode #023 of CrisisCast 2020 | Laura Prisc Coach and strategic thinker Laura Prisc. A woman who loves a meaningful conversation… I spoke with Laura back on the 24th of April, fairly early on in the lockdown. Laura gave me her view of life in West Virginia, USA, and shared her feelings on leadership, community, reflection and why short bursts of creativity will help keeps us all sane.  My Guest: Laura Prisc is The Most Trusted Authority on Conscious Leadership for High-Performance Organizations. For more than 20 years, she's worked side-by-side with leaders at all levels in organizations of every size imaginable, from one-location operations through the full continuum of multi-site global organizations. As a keen observer of human nature, Laura has always been fascinated by people and has sought to understand how they think and why they do what they do. This has served her—and many others—very well in the area of navigating the people-related challenges within business organizations. Laura finds that there are people in many organizations who seem to be functioning on autopilot rather than actually thinking about what they are doing and the impact of their actions on the business. They have talent and expertise, yet they don’t appear to be bringing it to their work. In her book, Conscious Leadership®: Are Your Leaders Wide Awake? Laura dispels common myths about leadership and motivation while demonstrating the tools she uses to allow her clients to see self and others more clearly—to recognize, understand, and acknowledge each individual’s unique strengths, styles, and preferences. Laura has made it her mission to help leaders in business view leadership and team-building holistically, thereby allowing them to engage everyone within an organization optimally. Laura's previous experience includes positions held at Constellium Global Aerospace, and Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, Inc., TreeTop, and Premera Blue Cross. She is a member of the John Maxwell Team and holds several professional certifications. Laura holds a Master's Degree in Communication/Leadership and a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational and Mass Communication from Eastern Washington University.

In Episode #012 of CrisisCast 2020 | Erin Baker Today on CrisisCast 2020 Erin Baker has locked herself at home in Michigan since coming back from Mexico 30 days ago. As a coach with a scientific and corporate background Erin works with clients on their mindset and helps them prepare for their next act so they can make an impact. In our chat today, Erin reflects on past personal crisis and how she is drawing strength from those experiences. While fully acknowledging the seriousness of the state of the world today, Erin also brings so much infectious energy and (if it’s not too much of an oxymoron) tangible hope for the future. My Guest: My clients are visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, and coaches who are ready to launch their next act - a startup, business, innovative product or service, or career - and make a difference in the world. They have a track record of success, nail every challenge that they take on, and on paper are a paragon of success. But they often find themselves... • Bored or burned out. They feel disconnected and out of touch with what really matters. • Feeling like something is missing. They wonder “is there something more than this?” • Noticing that the rush of achievement wears off quickly, and immediately asking “what’s next?” • Wanting to do something different, but despite their track record of success, are terrified that *this* time they will fail. • Wanting to make a more meaningful impact on the world, but unsure of where to start. Or they have an idea, but ask themselves “who am I to do that?” • With very few, if any, people they can talk with about this. If any of this rings true for you, you are not alone. Through my work, I have discovered that some of the most successful people in the world are bored, burned out, or disillusioned with the impact they are having on the world. Many people continue on, changing nothing, living in a world of what they *should* be doing rather than what they *want.* Discover… Finding strength through past traumas Why ignoring the online masses is a good thing What to do if this crisis has led to you longing to take your next step Connect with Erin Erin’s Website Feeling Pod-Curious?

In Episode #010 of CrisisCast 2020  | Memories of The Eastern Block and Staying Secure Online with Christo Angelov   Today on CrisisCast 2020 - Having seen the collapse of the eastern block as a child in Bulgaria and moving to Atlanta USA - Christo Angelov has also lived through 911 and the financial crisis of 2008. 

The result? A man who exudes the level of calm many of us is aspiring to right now… 

Christo’s in the business of helping his clients protect their businesses through his work at FireBrand Security. Specifically Customer and employee data. Intellectual property. Supply chains and beyond. So I was happy to take his advice about how to identify an opportunistic scammer as we all spend even more time online. Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with my friend Christo Angelov.    Discover… The collapse of the eastern block The pandemic through the eyes of a Bulgarian in Atlanta, USA Avoiding the opportunists and keeping safe online     My Guest: I’m originally from Sofia, Bulgaria where I was born and raised until age 10.  My father was invited to work at the University of Georgia in 1992. The rest of the family soon followed.  I attended the University of Georgia and obtained an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems from the Terry College of Business.  Post-graduation, my first job was with a Big 4 Accounting firm, specializing in IT Advisory services. Soon after joining, information security captured my interest and I quickly gravitated to the space.  After almost 10 years at the firm, it was time for a change and a new challenge.  The next chapter in my career took place at a bank as a part of the Information Security Operations team. This was another terrific learning experience that provided ample opportunities for personal and professional growth. I was responsible for the team’s metrics, compliance, and strategy. After 2 years of working at the bank, I created my own company to provide cybersecurity advisory services.  The company is called Firebrand Security.  This is year 3 of being on my own and the current pandemic is by far the most significant challenge to date.    Connect with Christo Firebrand Security

I give you behavioral change pro, who’s finally getting to know his neighbors after 20 years… Murray Cowell.
 Discover… 
•  The marketing opportunity today
 •  Why some permanent change will lead to a better future
 •  Why we shouldn’t make decisions out of fear 
 Murray’s Bio: For over 25 years I've been designing and delivering training workshops and blended learning programs, specializing in sales and business negotiations in the tech sector. I also consult with training companies and associates on how to generate more revenue and deliver better outcomes. 

Every project starts with an in-depth consultation with the client to establish how training can deliver on their goals, in order to design a program that not only leads to measurable results but also means their people will permanently change their behavior, leading to a solid return on the training investment. 

I have extensive experience in training and coaching trainers to deliver better results, hiring trainers, designing and delivering train-the-trainer programs and coaching and mentoring trainers to ever-higher levels of performance.

 My motivation comes from seeing people achieve results that they thought were beyond them. I love to see people do things that they thought were beyond their capabilities, and grow and develop beyond what they thought was possible. I like to show people a different way of looking at a situation so that they see new opportunities and find novel approaches to problems that spur them on to greater success.

 I believe in building on people's natural talents, strengths, and abilities, showing them how to integrate new skills and behaviors into their existing styles.

 If you’ve got a team that you would like to see achieve greater results, or if you're a trainer yourself or run a training company, and you'd like to know how to make your training more "sticky", please call me on 07775 768192 and let’s talk about how we can work together to produce a measurable improvement in your training outcomes.

In Episode #007 of CrisisCast 2020  | Lessons from 911 to help us through the pandemic with Leadership Coach, Jeff Munn

 Today On CrisisCast 2020 - A recovering lawyer, corporate refugee turned leadership coach in a remote town in Colorado…  talks to me about how he and his family are living through the Crisis. I only knew Jeff Munn by name before this chat but something told me he would be a good guest.. and it took me about half a second to realize I was in the company of a man who has done some serious self-work. I felt lighter after our chat and I hope you do to after listening.
Jeff shared wisdom and insights and was even open enough to look back on his experience of how 911 changed him. So enjoy this interview with a man who helps his clients create extraordinary futures… I give you Jeff Munn. Jeff’s Bio: After over 25 years in the corporate world, I finally had to come to terms with the bigger mission that had been whispering in my ear for many years. But I didn’t do it voluntarily. I didn’t do it knowing how everything would work out. A door opened, and I decided to step through it. On August 2, 2016, everything changed for me. Because of a corporate restructuring, I suddenly went from a successful role at a leading financial services firm to not having a job. I only knew two things. I knew I didn’t want to be an employee again. And I knew I wanted to change people’s lives. I didn’t know exactly how I was going to do that. But I took the next step. And the next. And the next. And today, just a few years later, I live in the mountains of Colorado and help amazing people step into lives of greater presence, purpose, and possibility.

In Episode #006 of CrisisCast 2020  | Escaping NYC and Flying the Flag For Women with Helen Appleby from The Unwritten Rules Of Women’s Leadership   Today On CrisisCast 2020 -  A Brit escapes Manhattan at the peak of the pandemic, drives 13 hours and self isolates with their kids in an Air B’n’B. 

Despite all of this, Helen Appleby continues to lead and is starting to think seriously about how she will continue to fly the flag for the female workforce, as data shows… This crisis will disproportionately and negatively affect women. 
Sitting on a box in an unfurnished house in South Carolina. I give you the wisdom from an always lovely, very wise and grateful Helen Appleby.
 
Discover… How the pandemic has affected Helen’s life in the heart of New York City
• Helen’s thoughts on how the pandemic will affect businesses and women in business
• Why what great leaders do now matters for the future     Helen’s Bio: I work with CEO's and senior leaders to grow their leadership style, build high performing teams, take their career to the next level or design their legacy.

Being senior means that it is so much harder to get the feedback you need, to grow. I get honest feedback for my clients and I tell them the truth, even if it’s tough so that they can be grounded in the reality that they need to grow.

Being successful can also be lonely. I understand the "loneliness of leadership" because I have been there. I know firsthand how it feels to be surrounded by people and still feel alone because there is no-one objective that you can ask. I am that confidential, judgment-free sounding board for the big vision, the critical decisions, and the highs and the lows on the journey too.  Connect with Helen Helen’s Website: The Unwritten Rules of Women’s Leadership https://www.theunwrittnrules.com/

An author, partner and executive producer at the hugely trendy podcast media company Double Elvis - The team responsible for producing hit podcasts including Disgraceland, Dear Young Rocker, Citizen Critic, and 27 Club. 
Just a few weeks back because of Brady, I witnessed in real-time what happens when Hollywood gets interested in great podcasts.
Brady gives us the low down on life in Boston right now and how the pandemic has changed his workflow.

We develop and produce original podcasts and have established partnerships with key media and technology companies to ensure broad distribution, marketing, and audience development.

In Episode #004 of CrisisCast 2020 | Breathing, Crying and Getting Your Energy Moving with Mark J Silverman Today On CrisisCast 2020 - If I told you there was a man in Washington DC in a big house with a big heart and a love for humans you might not believe me but I can tell you it’s true because I’ve seen it with my own eyes…

 A considered, caring, Self-effacing Executive Business Coach and genius of life … Mark J. Silverman shares his wisdom and perspective as someone who is a father, who’s been married, divorced and remarried, a learner, a podcaster (over 160 podcasts and counting) I give you my dear friend and host of the Mastering Midlife Podcast…. Mark J Silverman.  


Discover… What you should focus on now
 The value of crying
 Focusing on what is real 
Guest Bio: The people I work with are already very successful. They are top in sales, run companies, lead divisions and execute on big visions. A common thread is that they know they could do so much more if they could just focus. Life’s demands, day-to-day business, and the ability to keep to clear priorities slow their march to the next level.

 Each engagement is tailored to the individual or group:

 Vision – We will get very specific and clear on what you want to create.
 Strategy – Here we focus on what it will take to achieve this vision, making adjustments in real-time.
 Skills/Resources – What do you (and your team) need in order to get where you want to go?
 Mindset – Most often the barrier to success is our self. Together we will uncover blind spots, limiting beliefs, and the edge of your leadership to clear the path to your goal or vision.
 Action Plan- The clear road map for you and your team to achieve your vision.

 What you can expect: After working with me you will more effectively direct your valuable time and attention to get beyond where even you thought you could go.

 Increased effectiveness by taking the right actions
 Increased confidence and quality in your decision making
 Dramatically transform limiting behaviors and habits that hold you back
 Uplevel to a more impactful and meaningful leadership style
 Elevate your day (your focus) from “Tactical” to “Strategic”
 Transform team dynamics and develop direct reports
 Build your personal brand
 Address challenges in more innovative ways
 Communicate more directly and with more influence
 Increase sales and grow your business

 As a Sales Leader, I generated over $90 Million in Revenue at some of the fastest-growing companies like NetApp, VMWare, EMC and Service Now. My clients benefit from my vast experience working with CEO’s and Senior Leaders because I know their world. I coach and consult successful individuals in focusing and delivering what is most important in their business and life.

Specifically focussing on manufacturing businesses and drawing from his experience of a frequent visitor to China, Bradley shares wisdom on how we can navigate the coming months and what things might look like on the other side.

I particularly enjoy challenging business problems. The more diverse the better. I'm a compulsive learner.

 ► I've learned a ton of lessons from my many successes. But the deepest lessons I've learned have been from my 'failures'. It's from these combined experiences that I serve my clients. 

I've worked with top ad agencies on the production of marketing & ads for TV, radio, multimedia, and print. Worked on the corporate ladder and run my own businesses in a variety of industries.

 I've spent my own money on marketing my own businesses, felt the pain of it not working. But also experienced the elation of hitting the sweet spot.

In Episode #002 of CrisisCast 2020 | Acronyms, Support and Clarity with David Ventura 


My Guest: 
David is a thought-provoking speaker who helps Senior Leaders and their teams improve the profitability and performance of key customers, bringing to life the principles of increasing results by improving relationships with your most important customers. David has spent over 12 years in a variety of commercial and leadership roles across numerous sectors, including Retail, IT and Telecoms, with a proven track record in driving business growth across new business and the existing customer base. His ability to adapt to any given group, sector and culture makes him an ideal facilitator to bridge the gap between ‘best practice’ and creative and innovative solutions. Having started his career in the ‘entertainment industry’ working as a resident Entertainments Manager for Holiday Parks, Cruise Ships and Nightclubs, the transition into Sales and Leadership 12 years came naturally, bringing with him some core principles of Customer Growth; 
 
The key to any great ‘performance’ is integrity and authenticity. The same applies to business.
•If ‘people buy from people’ then rapport and relationship skills are the most powerful skills to master in business
•Sales can often be seen as a downstream result of Service Excellence   Discover…

 •Why focusing on short-term objectives matters and this would be a perfect opportunity to discover exactly what Key Account manager does and more to the point… what he makes of this situation. And by the way, if you’re wondering about the service station…  It’s Beaconsfield - Because parking is great and Pizza Express is always a winner.

Living in Hertfordshire, with his wife and two young children, David is most ‘at home’ cooking up a feast for friends and family and making a ‘mean’ G&T! Contrary to common belief, he is no relation to Ace and believes that happiness comes from achieving an abundance of love, laughter, and learning.
