Every high performing athlete has a coach. No matter how talented we might be, there is always a benefit to receiving impartial, independent, outside, perspective on how to improve our performance. It's been said that if you don't have a coach…get one! That said, it takes a great deal of work and dedication to even begin to hone one's skills, learn their craft, improve their performance. A great deal of that work has to be done by the individual. Antonia Bowring is a very highly credentialed executive coach. She works with founders, C-Suite executives, and leadership teams. During her career, she's come to believe that there is a definite need for guidance for people not quite ready to engage a professional coach, for any number of reasons. Seeing that need, she's authored a book to help fill that need. Coach Yourself!: Increase Awareness, Change Behavior, and Thrive provides keen insight and advice for anyone seeking to improve their performance, whether they currently have a coach or not. Listen as Antonia discusses with host Bill Ellis, the importance of coaching and keys to coaching yourself!

Throughout our lives, we are exposed to countless outside influences. Family - in particular our parents. Geography and local culture. Economics and financial status. How we incorporate these experiences into our lives…how we choose to react, behave, engage with others…is up to us. Michael “Tate” Barkley allowed those factors - in particular, his relationship with his father - to lead him down a path of self-destruction, shame, guilt, and regret. But with time, comes experience, perspective, self-reflection, and the opportunity to change and evolve to a greater version of ourselves. Listen as Tate addresses the impact of his life's challenges, his decisions, and their impact, and how he ultimately was able to overcome them and flourish.

The question becomes: “What am I willing to do to adjust and adapt?” For Dr. Stephen Stowers, the first insurmountable challenge came when his patient-focused, empathetic approach to his practice was crushed when the “corporate” bottom-line-focus became paramount.

When it comes to purpose, passion, and persistence, few have as compelling a story as Dr. Salvatore Forcina! As a child born in Italy during World War II, Dr. Salvatore's early years were spent poverty-stricken and without any proper shelter. Like many Italians at the time, his parents followed a popular migration to Argentina, a stable country that offered rich natural resources and the chance for a more stable life. Shortly after arriving in Argentina, he was sent away to live with an order of priests for seven years, as they offered the only available avenue for educating the boy.

As a Mental Toughness Coach, Chris Dorris is ultimately in the business of Success Coaching. He helps people close the gap between how their lives are and how they want them to be. Starting his career as a social worker working on the streets of Atlantic City, helping the mentally ill, drug addicted and homeless populations upgrade their lives, provided Chris with a unique perspective on persistence and the power of belief. That insight led him to marry his passion for the power of the human spirit with his passion for sports. He enrolled at the graduate school at Arizona State University, where he created an internship with the Men's Golf Team. That position evolved into a paid position as the team's formal Mental Toughness Coach. Over the course of ten years, Dorris really learned a ton about the mechanics of training the mind.

In Marc D. Braun's own words: "If you really knew me, you'd know that I love growth. I love the uncomfortable feeling I get when stretching and growing as a leader." Growth almost always entails some level of discomfort, challenge, and fear. The best way to get past those concerns is to go at them head-on...and that takes courage. For most, tapping into that courage is helped by having the right mindset. Getting the right mindset is more easily achieved with the help of a coach. Marc D. Braun is such a coach. As he puts it: "My life's purpose is to encourage (breathe courage into) others to become everything they were created to be. This passion has led to a lifetime of pursuing challenge after challenge, testing my potential, and encouraging others to do the same." Listen to Marc's insights as he shares his experience with What's the Point? host, Bill Ellis.

When your middle name (Madat) translates to "help", there's a high probability that there's a reason. Likky Madat Lavji's purpose in life is to help others, through his coaching, speaking, and his book. What got him on that path? Our childhood experiences can have quite an impact on our lives - and, in turn, those we encounter on our journey. Likky was born in Africa, moved at a young age to Pakistan for a short while, then his family immigrated to Canada. Kids being kids, he was teased mercilessly by his school mates because he looked and sounded differently than they. The result was that he developed a stutter that would stay with him well into adulthood. That stutter left in an almost unbelievable scenario as Likky worked to hone his craft of helping others. It's a perfect example of the Go-Giver Law of Receptivity and the Law of Left Field.

What makes a successful and enduring marriage or meaningful relationship? Many answer with one word - love. Love, of course, is essential. However, to say that love is the singular key, is similar to saying that oxygen is the sole key to life. Creating and maintaining love takes commitment. It takes care, effort, and giving - lots and lots of giving. Not giving material things (though that is often nice) - but giving consideration, support, understanding, thoughtfulness, and true care for one's partner. John David Mann, is the co-author of more than 30 books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers. Ana Gabriel Mann earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as an educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. Together, they've authored the Go-Giver Marriage, a book inspired by their own story of lasting love. Whether you're in a relationship or hope to be, this book is for you! It's a book you'll want to own for yourself- and gift to people you care about. A loving, healthy, caring relationship carries over into every aspect of a person's life.

Calum was in command of the flight having been certified as a Captain the day prior. The senior pilot who had signed-off on his captaincy, Peter Docker, was in the cockpit merely as a ride-along, hitching a fight home to England. Shortly after leaving SFO, just a few hundred feet from the ground, the flight encountered unexpected and significant turbulence - rocking and bouncing the plane and its passengers like ragdolls. Knowing it was Calum's first flight as full Captain, Peter Docker knew exactly what he needed to do. He sat, hands folded in his lap, with full confidence in the abilities of the pilot he'd certified. That experience was the start of Peter Docker's philosophy of Jumpseat Leadership. It's a fascinating, powerful, and surprisingly effective approach to leading. In this episode of What's the Point?, Docker speaks with host Bill Ellis, sharing the essence of Jumpseat Leadership, lifting up others so they can be extraordinary, and how love is at the very heart of leadership!

While working as a journalist on the West Bank, Steve Sosebee met two Palestinian children who'd suffered traumatic injuries when their home had been bombed. Their innocence and injuries touched Steve's heart. He became determined to find treatment for them and through his efforts, they received free care in Akron, Ohio. Returning to the Middle East, he was determined to help more of Palestine's children and others throughout the region get the care they so desperately needed. With that, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund was born. Politics was pushed to the side in favor of humanitarianism and love. For the past nearly 30 years, Sosebee has been steadfast in his purpose - bringing aid, compassion, and love to children who are so gravely in need.

Living a fulfilling life is everyone's goal. Suzanne Bird-Harris is doing just that! It's not been easy - not even simple. Her story is one which we can all learn from. She's determined, humorous, flexible, driven, and caring. Suzanne is an ideal example of what we can achieve through the Purpose Principle. Finding one's purpose is absolutely critical. Our purpose might change, evolve, expand - we might have multiple purposes. That is part of life's journey. In all cases, our purpose must ignite our passion, which fuels our journey. The third factor in living a fulfilled life is persistence. Not giving up. Being open to change and adjust our path - our purpose. Moving through those times when our fuel - our passion - may be low. While she has countless talents and positive attributes, persistence is Suzanne's superpower, as you'll hear in her conversation with host Bill Ellis.
