Welcome to Notable Leaders Radio! I'm Belinda Pruyne, in this milestone 100th episode, I'm celebrating the incredible guests who've shared their wisdom, courage, and vulnerable stories over the years.  In today's episode, we discuss: Discover the real journeys behind "overnight success" stories—Because you'll see that even the most accomplished leaders face setbacks and internal challenges, giving you permission to honor your own slow burn to success rather than compare yourself to unrealistic narratives. Those “overnight successes” actually take 15 years of hard work and pushing through whatever is in your way. Learn about finding and using your unique voice, especially in male-dominated industries (Ivy Slater's, Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz's, Michelle Russo's, Amy Conway-Hatcher's, Dr Mary O'Connor's, stories)—If you're struggling to stand out or be heard, their insights will help you leverage your strengths in any challenging environment.  Hear diverse stories of joy, resilience, and strategic risk-taking—so you can build more joy, clarity, and growth into your own work, borrowing from actionable wisdom shared by a variety of leaders, from corporate executives to entertainers/authors to military figures, and the list goes on. See the power of “Being More You, Not Faux You” in tough situations (Amanda Hawkins' story)—You'll realize that authenticity isn't just a nice idea, but a winning strategy for building trust and influence with even the most senior decision-makers. Take away unique mindsets like architecting a life by design (Chad Lefebvre) versus a life by default—As a way to challenge accepted norms and intentionally create a fulfilling path, instead of just accepting what you're given. Understand how personal experiences outside of business (from dance to the board room, riding instructor to corporate executive…) can shape leadership strengths—Meaning you can tap into your own life story and skills for professional advantage, not just traditional credentials.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with David Steele, Founder + CEO of One Wealth Advisors and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group He highlights how applying the principles of service, goal-setting, and valuing people has shaped his journey from financial planning to building successful restaurant groups and supporting arts organizations. In today's episode, we discuss: True business success is rooted in serving others, not just making profits, because when work benefits others, it leads to deeper happiness and long-lasting impact, meaning you can feel good about making a difference while growing your business. Skills and principles are transferable from one industry to another, as David demonstrates by applying the same collaborative and organizational strategies across finance, food, and the arts, so you're not stuck on one path and can reinvent yourself in new fields with confidence. Pivotal life changes often start with self-awareness and honesty about dissatisfaction, like David's shift from being a successful stockbroker to a more fulfilling (but initially less lucrative) fee-based financial planning career. The lesson? It's okay, and sometimes essential, to pivot, especially if your values aren't being met. Caring for your team's well-being, even at a short-term cost, pays off through loyalty, retention, and greater future success, as shown by David's choice to keep his executive team during tough times, so you can build a lasting, supportive company culture.   Guest Bio David Steele, Founder + CEO of One Wealth Advisors and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group My primary role is as the co-founder and CEO of One Wealth Advisors, where we help people simplify their lives and achieve financial goals through Financial Life Planning. I am also the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Flour + Water Hospitality Group and the co-founder and Managing Partner of Great Gold Hospitality Group. Additionally, I bring extensive expertise and a range of resources to small business consulting, primarily in, but not limited to, the hospitality space. Alongside my teams, we support clients in various aspects of business development and operations to help them achieve their goals and vision. The culinary, health, arts, and entertainment worlds are particularly important to me, as reflected in my advisory roles with Noise Pop, Brilliant Corners, Rad Restaurant Group and Folk Studios. While my background may suggest diverse interests, everything I do follows a consistent, disciplined approach: working collaboratively with partners and team members, setting clear goals, developing and executing strategic plans to achieve those goals, and continually monitoring results to ensure success.   Website/Social Links https://davidsteele.xyz/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-steele-76088a?   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

Listening to him, I saw life through his eyes, opening me up to think differently.  I'm curious if you will have the same experience. Our Brain Rewards Us For Almost-Winning Behavior- Chad explains that our brains are wired to give us a neurochemical reward—specifically, a dopamine rush—not just when we win, but even more so when we almost win. He calls this the "near win" effect. Using the example of a slot machine, he describes how getting two out of three matching symbols (almost winning) triggers more dopamine than a real win. shedding light on why we often start but don't finish tasks. This realization can empower them to break those patterns and accomplish their goals. Navigate Emotional Challenges with Emotional Sobriety - The concept of emotional sobriety emphasizes the importance of processing and learning from emotions. This can help you better manage your emotions and align more deeply with your true self.

In today's episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I explore strategies for designing the next chapter of your career and life in a constantly evolving marketplace. We dive into building powerful networks and uncovering the areas of learning that will enhance your relevance and impact. In this episode, we discuss: The Power of Releasing the Outcome: Shifting your focus from specific outcomes to purposeful actions can free you from the stress of rigid expectations. This mindset not only reduces pressure but also creates space for unexpected and rewarding opportunities, transforming how you approach both challenges and successes. Building Authentic Connections with Ease: Meaningful relationships develop over time through genuine interactions, not transactional exchanges. By allowing connections to flourish naturally without immediate expectations, you can cultivate a powerful network that brings unforeseen opportunities to your professional and personal life. Embracing Lifelong Learning and Experimentation: In rapidly shifting industries, relevance requires an unyielding commitment to growth and adaptation. Embracing new learning experiences with an open mind positions you to thrive amidst change, turning challenges into catalysts for advancement. Transforming Setbacks into Strategic Insights: Perceived failures are, in fact, your greatest assets on the path to higher success. Each setback provides valuable data and insights for course correction. By detaching self-worth from specific outcomes, you can maintain emotional resilience and strategic clarity. Commit to Action, Stay Open to Outcomes: The journey to your goals is where true fulfillment lies. Maintaining commitment to purposeful actions while embracing diverse outcomes ensures a rewarding experience, regardless of how the specifics unfold. Tune in to discover how to elevate your career trajectory with intention, resilience, and a mindset open to limitless possibilities.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Amy Armstrong. Amy, a conflict resolution specialist, shares her incredible journey of overcoming fear, people-pleasing, and codependency. In today's episode, we discuss: Setting boundaries can be gentle yet firm. Knowing this encourages you to establish clear limits without feeling you must be harsh or confrontational, which can improve your relationships and overall well-being. Amy learned the importance of telling the truth and developing a personal identity at 45. This revelation reassures you that it's never too late to discover and embrace your true self, promoting lifelong personal growth. Fear often highlights areas for personal growth. By reframing fear as a tool for self-improvement, you can embark on personal growth rather than avoidance, empowering you to face challenges head-on. Amy emphasizes authenticity as the core of credibility and personal integrity. This encourages you to be true to yourself, fostering deeper and more genuine connections with others. Inviting others to share their perspectives promotes openness. This approach helps you build more inclusive and understanding relationships, enhancing communication and conflict resolution skills. Overcoming codependency and learning not to control life is crucial. This lesson encourages you to focus on self-awareness and authenticity, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Amy's "boundary blueprint" (VOICE) guides people in setting personal boundaries. This practical framework helps you establish effective boundaries, encouraging healthier interactions and greater self-respect. Amy has a new book "Reclaim Your Power to Resolve Conflict" coming next year. Anticipating this resource prepares you to enhance your boundary-setting skills and improve your ability to resolve conflicts.   RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: Free Conflict Quiz:  https://www.thecenterforfamilyresolution.com/  Guest Bio Amy Armstrong turns conflict into fuel for personal empowerment.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Andrea Sampson, Founder, Talk Boutique & The Thought Leader Academy. She highlights our neurodiversity and uniqueness as strengths, and implores us to walk into our brilliance with confidence. In today's episode, we discuss: Identify patterns in your early interests. Reflect on your childhood experiences and passions. Use this self-awareness to understand the roles you naturally gravitate toward and how you can challenge or embrace them. Leverage neurodiversity as a strength. If you identify with neurodiverse traits, see them as a unique advantage rather than a limitation. Focus on how your brain's unique way of processing information allows for deep focus and creative problem-solving, and build strategies to manage potential challenges like distractibility. Embrace leadership and visibility. If you've been comfortable as a supporter or in the background, consider stepping into leadership. Recognize when external forces or past beliefs might have held you back, and challenge yourself to take the lead, especially in areas where your voice and presence can create the most impact. Embrace your uniqueness. Give yourself permission to fully be who you are, without judgment. Recognize that past self-criticism was unfair and doesn't reflect your true value. Harness curiosity for growth. Let curiosity drive you to learn and explore deeply, even in areas where you feel uncertain. Dive into subjects that interest you and turn them into strengths, as growth often comes from curiosity. Share your story. Your unique experiences and perspectives are powerful. Share them with others through storytelling, as it fosters connection and can inspire others who may be in a similar place.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Tammy Klotz, the Chief Information Security Officer at Trinseo.

Define and communicate each person's responsibilities and how they impact their teammates and the overall project to develop strong collaboration across teams and functions.

Use these experiences to fuel determination, individual growth, and more profound team resiliency. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” In Cyber Security, there are no “I will get to it later” crisis calls for immediate action. Once calm has been restored, it is time to gather your team(s), dissect all that happened, and identify the elements that need to be altered, enhanced, deleted, newly developed….   Foster individuality and motivate your team. Encourage your team members to develop their unique strengths and identities. Avoid forcing conformity; instead, celebrate their uniqueness and energize them with motivational moments. Use quotes, stories, or insights to keep them focused and positive. Building trust and respect. Cultivate trust and respect within your team by consistently demonstrating empathy and grace. Recognize the impact of your actions and words on others, and strive to create a supportive environment.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Jose Berlanga, Real Estate Investor, Author, and Speaker. He shares his life experience of being on death's door at age four and how he developed an enlightened perspective on using his challenges for good.   In today's episode, we discuss: “Life carves you into the person you eventually become,” says Berlanga. Overcome obstacles with the knowledge that there is learning in every experience that will guide you on your journey.  Use your challenges to your advantage. Approach them with a problem-solving attitude rather than a victim of the challenge.  “Don't let yourself be taken over by these circumstances.” “Did my situation bother me? Yes, it affected me. Was it difficult? Extremely. But I made it a point not to stop living, to listen to myself/intuition and do what I needed to do.”  Successful entrepreneurs take risks, understand uncertainties, know from the get-go that it will be difficult, and learn the lesson in every "failure".   RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: NOTABLE GUEST INTERVIEWS: Business Owners & Entrepreneurs Podcast with Peter Boolkah: Lessons Learned: Wins, Losses, and the Raw Truth About Business Growth W/ Jose Berlanga Stories that Empower: Jose Berlanga GET UNSTUCK: Talking about entrepreneurship with Jose Berlanga ARTICLES ABOUT JOSE: MSN: The Comeback Miracle Yahoo: Jose Berlanga Unveils the Blueprint for Success with Book, 'The Business of Home Building' Guest Bio: In every facet of his life and endeavors, real estate investor, author, and speaker Jose Berlanga is a force of unwavering tenacity.  At only four years old, Jose found himself at death's door following a devastating accident that left his body covered in third-degree burns. He spent his childhood growing up in various hospitals, leaving behind both physical and emotional scars that would carry into his adulthood. Determined not to let tragedies solely define his life story, Jose set out to make a name for himself. Led by his passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship came naturally to him. Jose's entrepreneurial pursuits have spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant: his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits, Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real estate transactions, both buying and selling.  Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery for the Petrochemical industry, investments including a chain of Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and lastly, land development & construction.  Each success was a feat of starting from ground zero and meticulously building his wealth anew. His journey has involved constructing complex business infrastructures, only to lose them to factors beyond his control, such as economic downturns, currency fluctuations, and world financial crises. Alongside his four multimillion-dollar endeavors, there have been countless other businesses, too.  Despite facing monumental setbacks, Jose has consistently risen from the ashes of lost enterprises, reinventing himself, venturing into new industries with renewed vigor and determination, and found even greater success in each new endeavor.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I will be responding to some questions sent in by listeners about wisdom. You don't have to wait until you're in your 50s or 60s to live with wisdom. You can step into it at any age. However, you will need to choose curiosity rather than judgment.   In today's episode, we discuss: today's episode, we discuss: Living in wisdom requires curiosity, compassion, forgiveness, grace, self-awareness, and intentionality. Learn to move forward on a new path without bringing past issues/stories with you. You can't solve today's technical issues with yesterday's technology. The same is true for you. Is it the journey or the destination that creates sustainable success and fulfillment? One of the big gifts of choosing to live in wisdom is that you get to dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, and curiosity opens endless possibilities.   RESOURCES: The Saboteur Assessment  https://assessment.positiveintelligence.com/saboteur/overview   Recommended Books: Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff Brave Not Perfect: How Celebrating Imperfection Help You Live Your Best, Most Joyful Life by Reshma Saujani Radical Self-Forgiveness: The Direct Path to True Self-Acceptance by Colin Tipping Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown Master Class on Taming Your Gremlin: A Surprisingly Simple Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way by Rick Carson No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering by Thich Nhat Hanh   Belinda's Bio: Belinda is a sought-after Leadership Advisor, Coach, Consultant and Keynote speaker and a leading authority in guiding global executives, professionals and small business owners to become today's highly respected leaders.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I'm going to talk about how to set yourself up for more successful communications. There is a way to really be heard. Tune in to learn my top communication hacks.     In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in establishing rapport. This one step turns a potentially challenging conversation into a productive/successful meeting.   Learn to communicate in a way that defies triggers. How do you handle things when the person you are speaking with gets triggered or even more challenging, when YOU get triggered?   The transformation that takes place when you understand the best way to connect with people.   Successful conversations must have a pre-planned beginning, middle, and end. Be clear on what you want to say and where you want it to end.   Leaders should show up to hard conversations with the intentions of creating safe space, and valuing the recipient. So even though the conversation may be challenging, they should know that it is being shared for their benefit and to meet their goals.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Nelson Nigel, founder of MOTO NATION, Kidmoto, Busmoto, and Babymoto. He highlights the importance of the relentless pursuit of following your dreams, shedding dead weight, and tells us that his success is deeply connected to his emotional intelligence.     In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.  Work to have an incredibly deep level of emotional intelligence. Success is determined by not only your ability to dream big and push yourself, but also by your resilience in the face of adversity. The transformation that takes place when you get rid of dead weight, shed negativity, and remove the inconsequential energy or people from your life. Never give up, and keep working hard. He tells us, “We can really do a lot of things if we push ourselves. Dream big, and just keep going.” Leaders should show up ready to keep learning. Your studies should never end, you should always be creating new levels of insight. RESOURCES: Invest in MOTO NATION: https://www.motonation.us/  Guest Bio: Nelson is a Guyanese entrepreneur who, at 5, emigrated with his family to Queens, New York. He has lived a life of triumph and trials; his most significant moment was getting hit by a moving express subway train at age 13. Nelson miraculously survived three weeks of coma after surgeons permanently removed the top part of his forehead. Having lost all memory before that day, he has only looked forward since, unapologetically living his life aloud (as seen in Nelson's eccentric color choices with his hair and attire). Nelson studied cultural anthropology in college and loved meeting the world as an NYC yellow taxicab and Uber driver. A defining period of his life, this is where Nelson saw a recurring issue: underserved consumers having trouble with navigating child car seats in taxis, ultimately birthing what is now known as Kidmoto. Nelson started Kidmoto with a dream, $600 to his name, and a relentless passion to succeed. He worked hard to grow Kidmoto to 52 cities across the US. He started MOTO NATION in 2023 as the leading brand behind new companies, BUSMOTO and BABYMOTO. Nelson is a natural-born hustler, survivor, and fighter and continues to push forward with innovation and entrepreneurship. nelsonnigel@kidmoto.taxi   www.kidmoto.taxi  www.motonation.us  https://www.facebook.com/NelsonNigelNY  https://twitter.com/NelsonNigel  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nelsonnigel/   https://www.pinterest.com/nelsonnigelny/  https://www.instagram.com/nelsonnigel/  Belinda's Bio: Belinda is a sought-after Leadership Advisor, Coach, Consultant and Keynote speaker and a leading authority in guiding global executives, professionals and small business owners to become today's highly respected leaders.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Perry Yeatman, Head of Corporate at Save the Children. She highlights the journey that brought her to the nonprofit world, and the importance of self awareness in finding your meaning and purpose.    In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in focusing on what you can control and where you can make a difference, and just continuing to move forward.  Work to have an incredibly deep level of self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly related to your self awareness. The transformation that takes place when you choose meaning and purpose over reputation and money. You can do anything you set your mind to. Perry tells us, “It's not magic, it's work. It's about being smart, and you can do it… forgive what you are not, and learn to play into your strengths. Leaders should show up as change-makers. Passive gratitude doesn't change the world. We need people who've got a lot, to give a lot.

Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created. Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage. Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's performance. Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.

Life is short. Look beyond the money, assess what you really want, what brings you joy, and build your life and career from that place.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the 3rd of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today.  In this episode we speak to the power and impact of intentional communication and influence.   In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in leading with influence. To be a stand out, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.  Intentional communication creates influence. Fergus tells us, “the most interesting people are the ones who are the most interested.” Listening is the very first communication skill. This has you fully planted in the moment, so you are able to understand what is really needed and where you can be of greatest value. Practice self awareness. Understanding your presence and how your demeanor influences is a key part of  what allows you to have greater success and lasting impact.  Find ways to assist your team to excel. This creates an environment of higher performance, and greater success that is sustainable.  RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: Intentional Communication Leadership Brief Episode #1 of the Next Level Leader podcast series  Episode #2 of the Next Level Leader podcast series www.fergusconnolly.com https://www.ted.com/talks/fergus_connolly_leadership_vulnerability_and_sheep_dogs BOOKS -  '59 Lessons: Working with the World's Greatest Coaches, Athletes, & Special Forces' by Fergus Connolly - 'Game Changer - The Art of Sports Science' by Fergus Connolly Guest Bio: Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance.  He has coached CEO's, professional athletes, head coaches, elite special forces units, integrating holistic best-practice in organizations such as Google, Verizon, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Liverpool Football club, Welsh Rugby Union, University of Michigan Football and many other NBA, MLB, NHL teams and elite military units.  His 2019 Tedx Talk "Leadership, Vulnerability, and Sheepdogs" explored the value of Authenticity in High Performance.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach. We return to our series today with the intent of helping you to realize your leadership potential. We highlight the very real correlation between self-reflection and success, and the impact that addressing your limiting beliefs has on reaching your full potential. In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in creating space for self-reflection. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's behavior. Intentionally setting roadblocks is imperative in leadership. Rather than relying on external factors for success, it forces one to be more mindful and self accountable. The transformation that takes place when you practice self-awareness. Creating space for self-awareness and reflection will help one to better understand how we react and respond in every interaction. Any and all success begins within. Fergus tells us that this is one of the most critical pieces in reaching your full potential. What's the role you played as a child? If you don't make peace with your natural inclinations when tensions arise, you miss the opportunity to learn, adjust, and grow.  RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: First episode of the Leadership Series: https://belindapruyne.com/episode70 www.fergusconnolly.com https://www.ted.com/talks/fergus_connolly_leadership_vulnerability_and_sheep_dogs BOOKS -  '59 Lessons: Working with the World's Greatest Coaches, Athletes, & Special Forces'  https://amzn.to/3WwcIZi - 'Game Changer - The Art of Sports Science' https://amzn.to/3q9E5My  Guest Bio: Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance.  He has coached CEO's, professional athletes, head coaches, elite special forces units, integrating holistic best-practice in organizations such as Google, Verizon, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Liverpool Football club, Welsh Rugby Union, University of Michigan Football and many other NBA, MLB, NHL teams and elite military units.  His 2019 TEDx Talk "Leadership, Vulnerability, and Sheepdogs" explored the value of Authenticity in High Performance.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dan Rockwell, Leadership Freak and co-author of The Vagrant. He highlights the value of structured self reflection and tells us, “Somewhere along the way, you learn to trust the things in your heart - the frustrations, the joys, the aspirations - and somehow give them away in a way that makes sense to other people.”  In today's episode, we discuss:  Leaders who show up with openness, a curiosity to listen, and learn, have the ability to bring out the best in people. If you're not listening well, you're not serving yourself or others very well. Be yourself, and bring value. Don't worry that you're not the perfect solution to every situation, just give what you have. Self-reflection in isolation leads to self deception. Dan tells us, “I'm encouraging leaders to invite others into the process.” There is great power in understanding the value and importance of others on your journey. There are a lot of other people in the world who want to help when you invite them. The transformation that takes place when you engage in structured self-reflection daily, as a constant re-evaluation of who you are.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, (one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance) and I launch a new series titled “Next Level Leader,”  where we focus on, elevating your leadership in a meaningful, impactful, and sustainable way. All to assist you in advancing to the next level on your leadership journey. Highlighting the very real correlation between self awareness and success, and the impact that your personal leadership style offers. In today's episode, we discuss: The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. (mic drop) Making increased self-awareness the foundation that all future success stands on. The transformation takes place when you dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, curiosity opens doors to your brilliance and expands opportunities! There's not just one way to lead. Fergus tells us, “So many different leaders lead wonderfully in so many different ways.” What you do naturally is of great value. Rather than discounting what comes easiest to you, understand the importance and impact it offers. There is more value in what you do naturally than you think! Ongoing development is imperative in leadership. When you further develop areas and improve, you become a more resilient leader over time.

He shares his story, how he helps top CEO's, Elite athletes, and Coaches (think, NBA, MLB, NFL…) around leadership, authenticity, and high performance.
