In this insightful episode of "Journeys of Not So Ordinary People," hosts Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett are joined by guest Bridgett McGowan, a professional speaker and publisher, to delve into the crucial topic of "Breaking The Pattern." Bridget defines this as boldly rejecting the status quo and the self-imposed limitations—be it mindset, habits, or fear—that hold individuals back. It's about consciously deciding "enough is enough," stopping the rehearsal of limitations, and starting to live out one's possibilities by rewriting personal scripts and raising one's own standards. Bridget emphasizes that breaking patterns isn't accidental but requires a combination of awareness, courage, and action. She outlines a process: recognizing the unhelpful loop, being brutally honest that it's not working, making a firm decision to change now, taking action (even small steps), and then consistently repeating the new, desired pattern. Key themes include the power of tiny, consistent steps over grand gestures (referencing "Atomic Habits"), understanding that confidence is a consequence of action rather than a prerequisite, and the importance of showing up authentically, with purpose, even when scared. Overcoming "analysis paralysis" (which Bridget calls "fear wearing a lab coat") by setting deadlines and taking immediate, small actions is also highlighted as crucial for moving forward. The episode powerfully encourages listeners to stop waiting, take control of their narrative, and actively build the future they desire.JONSOP https://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.com Bridgett McGowenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bmcgowen/https://www.connectwithb.comDr. Joe Hamlett ⁠dr.joehamlett@gmail.com⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠PeltzCS@outlook.com⁠ ⁠https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠ https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.

In this episode of "Journeys of Not So Ordinary People," Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett speak with guest Jeni Yelton who offers a "Tangible View Of Purpose," breaking down the often abstract concept into three distinct, understandable levels using a Starbucks barista analogy. Level one purpose is transactional, like working purely for a paycheck to meet basic needs. Level two involves finding purpose in relationships, company culture, and a sense of belonging, which is more fulfilling but still self-focused and vulnerable to change. The most profound, Level three, is achieved when individuals understand their work as serving something larger than themselves, making an impact beyond their immediate experience, even if unseen—like a barista enabling new business connections. The hosts and Jenny emphasize that discovering and living this deeper purpose requires ongoing self-reflection on one's core values, natural strengths, and who one wishes to serve, allowing individuals to find fulfillment across various roles and navigate life's transitions with resilience, ultimately encouraging listeners to actively "make a turn" in their journey towards a more purpose-driven life.JONSOP https://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.com Jeni Yeltonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniyelton/Dr. Joe Hamlett ⁠dr.joehamlett@gmail.com⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠PeltzCS@outlook.com⁠ ⁠https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠ https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.

In this episode of Journeys of Not So Ordinary People, Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett host Denise Griffitts, a seasoned podcaster and web developer, to explore the theme of podcasting as marketing. Denise shares her personal journey into podcasting, highlighting how it organically evolved into a powerful tool for visibility and connection—especially for introverts like herself who value privacy yet need a voice in the digital space. She emphasizes that podcasting, done ethically and consistently, builds trust, nurtures authentic relationships, and expands networks through meaningful collaboration—not through vanity metrics or gimmicks.

In this episode of Journeys of Not So Ordinary People, Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett welcome communication expert and prolific author Dianna Booher, who shares her insights on creating executive presence. Dianna explains that executive presence is built on four key areas: what people see (body language, posture, attire), how they think (response to unexpected situations), how they speak (clarity, confidence), and their overall reputation and behavior over time. She emphasizes that executive presence is not about superficial polish but a blend of competence, confidence, and clarity that shapes how others perceive an individual. Dianna highlights her coaching process, which involves observing clients in different environments, gathering feedback from peers, subordinates, and superiors, and providing targeted, actionable suggestions to enhance their presence. She also underscores the importance of synthesizing complex information into concise, persuasive communication to project authority and leadership. Through real-world examples, Dianna illustrates how small changes in communication and behavior can drastically alter perceptions and open doors to executive roles.JONSOPhttps://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.comDianna BooherHttps://www.BooherResearch.comHttps://www.BooherBookCamp.comDr. Joe Hamlett ⁠dr.joehamlett@gmail.com⁠http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠PeltzCS@outlook.com⁠ ⁠https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltzMusic intro & Outro provided by David T.
