What's the real reason some leaders instantly command a room while others struggle to connect? Katherine unpacks the secret sauce behind authentic leadership: executive presence. But don't mistake it for just charisma or a polished look. This is about substance over style, connection over performance, and leading with confidence, clarity, and calm. She explores why presence, not just words, shapes how people trust, respect, and follow you. You'll learn how to shift from filler words to powerful pauses, how to read a room and adapt with empathy, and why showing up with grounded confidence builds psychological safety for your team. Whether you're leading a team meeting or navigating high-stakes moments, this episode offers practical, people-first strategies to grow your presence, without losing your authenticity.

This week, I'm sharing a huge behind-the-scenes shift: I officially left Facebook.

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph opens up about one of the hardest—and most rewarding—parts of scaling a business: building a high-performing team. Drawing from her experience growing multiple businesses and leading The Wealthy Practitioner to new levels, Steph gets raw about what it really takes to lead at a championship level. From firing team members you love to setting "Netflix-level" standards of excellence, she shares the mindset, structure, and culture shifts required to build a team that truly wins. Steph walks through the evolution of her leadership over the last three years, the lessons learned from building teams across multiple companies, and how she's now creating her own TWP Culture Memo inspired by Netflix's Dream Team philosophy. You'll learn how to recognize when someone isn't the right fit, how to elevate your expectations without guilt, and how to attract A-players who thrive under high standards. Whether you're managing your first hire or running a full operation, this episode will challenge you to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction. Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Introduction: Why Team Is the Key to Freedom 02:12 – The Realities of Leadership: Gray Hair, Growth, and Hard Decisions 04:01 – Building the Early TWP Team and What Changed in 2024 06:14 – Setting Championship-Level Standards Before "Full Send" 09:20 – Letting Go of a Team Member and the Pain of Tough Calls 11:43 – The Netflix Culture Memo: The Dream Team vs. the Family Model 16:02 – The Core Values That Create A-Player Teams 20:34 – What Happens When You Raise the Bar (and People Step Up) 24:18 – Avoiding Complacency: How to Keep a Team Hungry and Driven 27:40 – Leading Without Permission: Developing Independent Thinkers 31:56 – Why Your Team Mirrors Your Energy 35:22 – The Hard Truth: Not Everyone Grows with You 38:04 – How Firing Someone Opens Space for Alignment 41:10 – Final Thoughts: The Stranded Island Test for Building Your Dream Team Key Takeaways - Your team determines your freedom. You can't scale or lead without people who are fully bought into your mission. - Set standards that feel uncomfortable. Leadership means making decisions most people won't. - You attract what you embody. If you want A-players, show up like an A-player. - Culture isn't perks—it's performance. Build a professional sports team, not a family. - Letting go isn't cruel—it's kind. Releasing the wrong person creates alignment for everyone involved.

Today, we are thrilled to welcome entrepreneur, philosopher, writer, podcaster, and author Robert Glazer as our guest.  Robert truly understands how values shape company culture. In his latest book, The Compass Within, he explores how values guide both personal and organizational success.  Join us to discover how strong values lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity. Robert's Journey Robert founded Acceleration Partners, a global partner marketing agency that became one of the first fully remote companies long before remote work became common. What began as an internal email to his team evolved into Friday Forward, a leadership newsletter with more than 120,000 readers. Writing became a parallel career for him, leading to several bestselling books, including his latest, a parable on personal and company values. As he stepped back from day-to-day business operations, Robert focused on helping people and organizations build capacity, lead better, and live by their core values. His mission now centers on leadership as the most powerful lever for meaningful change in companies and society. Core Values Robert developed a framework to help people identify personal core values. His philosophy is that people lead from their values consciously or unconsciously, so awareness is essential. The framework grew into a course and then a book, designed to make the process engaging and practical. Values are actionable principles, not one-word ideals, and their opposites should trigger discomfort to confirm their importance. Teaching Leadership Through Fiction Robert notes that leadership problems often arise from misaligned incentives rather than malice. In his latest book, The Compass Within, he combines fiction and nonfiction to make lessons relatable. Through the story, readers can see how misaligned values create frustration at work and in relationships. The main character embarks on a journey of self-discovery to reveal how value alignment influences experiences.  Alignment in Work and Relationships Shared values need not be identical, but they must be harmonious. Misaligned value systems create constant conflict. Early life experiences shape our core beliefs, which can later clash with or harmonize with those of others. In any setting, alignment drives trust and long-term success. Without it, relationships and organizations often fracture. Competition and External Validation Robert understands how some cultures pressure people into constant competition and comparison. Many people never stop to ask why they do what they do. True contentment begins when people stop chasing external approval and start to define success by their own standards.  Building The Compass Within The Compass Within offers a step-by-step approach for discovering actionable values. It begins with six reflective questions that explore life's highs and lows. Patterns in those answers form value statements that guide decisions. The opposite test (if the opposite of a value makes you cringe, it's genuine) ensures the values are real.  Creating a Values-Based Company Culture The company culture of entrepreneurs should evolve from the founder's authentic values, and must be collective. Effective values are actionable and measurable, not vague statements like "Integrity" or "Diversity." They should naturally arise in conversation and be evident in daily organizational behavior. Writing, Leadership, and Legacy Robert believes that leadership lies at the root of organizational change. Companies do not act. People do. When leaders understand and embody their values, their organizations thrive. His writing reflects his mission, offering practical tools to help people lead with authenticity and purpose.

Schickt uns euer Feedback zur EpisodeEntscheidungen ohne Sicherheit, Ziele mit Zielkonflikten, Fortschritt trotz Widerspruch: Wir nehmen dich mit in die echte Arbeitsrealität, in der Effizienz und Innovation einander brauchen und doch ständig reiben. Statt Paradoxien „wegzumoderieren“, zeigen wir, wie Organisationen aus Spannung Energie gewinnen – mit Systemtheorie als Navigationshilfe, klaren Beispielen aus der Praxis und einer Prise Humor gegen den Perfektionismus.Wir starten mit einem Denk-Rätsel und landen bei der Kernidee: Systeme erzeugen Sinn durch Unterscheidungen, jede Entscheidung ist kontingent. Das klingt abstrakt, wird aber sehr handfest, sobald Flexibilität gegen Koordination steht, SAP-Rollouts lokale Optimierungen beißen oder Sales und Marketing unterschiedliche Erfolgscodes verfolgen. Wir unterscheiden sauber zwischen Paradoxien (unauflösbar) und Dilemmata (operativ lösbar) und zeigen, wie man bewusste Trade-offs trifft, ohne in Scheinlogiken wie 100% Alignment, Dauer-Agilität oder the one best way zu verfallen.Dabei räumen wir mit drei verbreiteten Rezepten auf: reine Auslagerung von Innovation, Meta-Versöhnung via Purpose und das simple „Spannung aushalten“-Mantra. Stattdessen plädieren wir für minimale, klare Formalstruktur, explizite Entscheidungsprämissen, definierte Aushandlungsforen und den erwachsenen Umgang mit Nicht-Entscheidungen. Mikropolitik wird neu bewertet: nicht als Gift per se, sondern als notwendiges Schmiermittel, das dort Brücken schlägt, wo Formalität an Grenzen stößt. Und ja, wir entzaubern den „Extra Meile“-Mythos – Leistung braucht Differenz, nicht Gleichschaltung.Wenn du echte Werkzeuge für Entscheidungen unter Unsicherheit suchst und bereit bist, Widerspruch als Arbeitsmaterial zu sehen, bist du hier richtig. Abonniere den Podcast, teile die Folge mit deinem Team und sag uns: Welches Spannungsfeld treibt dich gerade am meisten um? Deine Perspektive macht die nächste Folge besser.

Emmett Shear, founder of Twitch and former OpenAI interim CEO, challenges the fundamental assumptions driving AGI development. In this conversation with Erik Torenberg and Séb Krier, Shear argues that the entire "control and steering" paradigm for AI alignment is fatally flawed. Instead, he proposes "organic alignment" - teaching AI systems to genuinely care about humans the way we naturally do. The discussion explores why treating AGI as a tool rather than a potential being could be catastrophic, how current chatbots act as "narcissistic mirrors," and why the only sustainable path forward is creating AI that can say no to harmful requests. Shear shares his technical approach through multi-agent simulations at his new company Softmax, and offers a surprisingly hopeful vision of humans and AI as collaborative teammates - if we can get the alignment right. Resources:Follow Emmett on X: https://x.com/eshearFollow Séb on X: https://x.com/sebkrierFollow Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Today we have Jenni Rawlings on the podcast, and we had so much fun diving into the technical side of the yoga practice- cues, anatomy, alignment, and how to update your practice to fit your own body so things actually feel good. We talk about her beginnings, how she built her career, and what it's been like teaching online. We even discovered some Chicago crossover and shared training experiences.We get into movement science, Yoga Alliance requirements, and why there's so much more to learn beyond a 200-hour training. We talk about the importance of self-inquiry, the structure of Ashtanga, strength, and adding load to the body, and whether we ever believed yoga was the end-all be-all. Jenni also shares about her time running a yoga clothing store, and we look at exercise science, pain, and what strength really means in a yoga context.Find Jenni Rawlings Online:Website: www.jennirawlings.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/jenni_rawlingsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jenni_rawlingsJoin us at the Castro Room, November 15th from 1-3 PM!Want to support our podcast?

High performers love speed. But speed without alignment kills clarity. In this high-impact episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Sayan sits down with life coach and founder of Silverman Coach, Loren Silverman, to decode why burnout sneaks up on the smartest people in the room. They break down the psychology of overthinking, somatic cues of overwhelm, and why high achievers mistake chaos for productivity.Loren offers a tactical roadmap for listeners. Pause. Reboot. Grow. His framework helps professionals replace mental load with value-based action, set boundaries without guilt, and build momentum with small strategic choices instead of unrealistic overhauls.If you've been running on fumes, telling yourself you're “fine,” this episode gives you a brutally honest reset. Practical. Grounded. Actionable. Exactly what high achievers need to stay human while staying ambitious. About the Guest: Loren Silverman is a life coach and founder of Silverman Coach. With nearly two decades in tech and digital transformation, he now helps overwhelmed professionals and self-identified nerds align their values, create boundaries, and build sustainable habits. He is the creator of Life Reboot: Nerd Edition, a 90-day coaching program that blends behavioral psychology with gamification to help people pause, reboot, and grow with clarity. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't caused by doing too much. It's caused by being misaligned. When values aren't driving your decisions, overwhelm builds silently. Overthinking tricks high achievers into feeling productive. In reality, it's worry disguised as strategy. One minute of intentional pause interrupts mental spirals faster than any productivity hack. Don't underestimate micro-rest. Small, consistent actions outperform dramatic life resets because they rebuild trust with yourself and reduce overwhelm. Boundaries protect your focus and set mutual expectations. Clear communication prevents emotional leakage and reactivity. Somatic signs like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and short breath are early indicators of emotional overload. Listen to them before they escalate. Delegation is a leadership skill, not a compromise. High achievers burn out when they try to be the “go-to person” for everything. Gamified coaching frameworks, like Loren's character-building system, help individuals understand their strengths, energy levels, and personal metrics. Identifying core values clarifies decision-making and eliminates unnecessary friction. Alignment is the antidote to burnout. When actions reflect core values, resilience becomes natural instead of forced.   How to Connect with the Guest:   Website: https://silvermancoach.com/Book a free 30-minute strategy session directly on the site.

In this episode, I talk about why soul alignment often feels uncomfortable, foreign, or “off” at first, how God uses unfamiliar seasons to break old patterns and build new identity, the emotional stages of stepping into calling (ridiculous → miraculous), the difference between the world's path and God's path, how to stay faithful when everything in you wants to turn back, why the hardest part of alignment is unlearning, not becoming and more.

This is a really powerful conversation, especially if you are facing doubt or uncertainty in your life. Dr. Zeb Tally III will bring his Self-Awareness Tour to the Ambiance Event Hall for a live event tomorrow titled “The Power of Honesty.”

John 7 invites us to examine what life with God truly looks like. Jesus shows that life with Him isn't about seeking recognition, maintaining appearances, or correcting others—it's about reflection, alignment, and communion. As we look back on God's provision and look ahead to where He's calling us to trust Him more, we're challenged to ask: What has God done for me this year, and where is He inviting deeper alignment in the year ahead?

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Alejandra Rojas, entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money, a financial mentoring platform that helps women overcome financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Alejandra's story is such a powerful reminder that financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about emotional healing, self-awareness, and redefining success on your own terms. Originally from Colombia, Alejandra left home at 19 on a scholarship and went on to live and study in Spain, the U.S., and New Zealand. She shares how her journey from financial burnout in Washington D.C. to finding balance in New Zealand completely changed how she views money, success, and happiness. We talk about what it means to truly know yourself with money, and how understanding your emotional patterns can help you build wealth that feels aligned and sustainable. Alejandra also breaks down her B.R.O.W.N. Framework, a tool she uses to help women heal from financial trauma and create lasting change. In This Episode I Discuss: How Alejandra's global journey and scholarships shaped her view of money and opportunity The moment she realized her financial burnout was connected to deeper emotional patterns What she learned about consumer culture and self-worth while living in the U.S. How life in New Zealand helped her slow down, reconnect, and build a new definition of success Watch the video to this episode on YouTube below or click here.

Hey sis, here is hope. You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities, and you can surely find freedom from the debilitating disease of an eating disorder and disordered eating. In this powerful episode, host Lindsey Nichol speaks truth directly to your heart, spirit, and mind. If you're stuck in the same place year after year - same worries, same wishes, same Thanksgiving anxiety, same holiday struggles - this is your wake-up call. Lindsey reveals why your worries and anxieties can actually HELP you move forward (or keep you stuck in the safe zone), and why your wishes and dreams must become greater than your fears. She introduces her 3-step battle plan for turning wishes into reality: align with your biggest challenge, align with your greatest dream, and study your enemy - that nagging voice keeping you in the cycle. This isn't just another motivational episode. This is a strategic battle plan for warriors ready to stop wishing and start living. Because girlfriend, warriors don't go into battle without a shield, a sword, or a plan. And you're not meant to go alone. If you've been waiting for the "magic pill" to create peace in your life, this episode will show you that YOU have the power to transform everything - starting right now. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Worries Can Help You (Or Keep You Stuck) Your worries and anxieties can nudge you toward the future you're dreaming of They can propel you forward on your journey to freedom But they can also keep you stuck in the safe zone if you do nothing about them The difference between productive worry and paralyzing worry Why Wishes Aren't Enough Wishes and dreams are great, but they can keep you stuck too Without action, wishes remain fantasies year after year Life is hard, especially with an eating disorder - but wishes alone won't change that Your wishes must become greater than your worries to create real change The Biggest Challenges Women Face in Recovery When Lindsey asks her one-on-one clients "What is your biggest challenge?" she hears: Fear of weight gain Recovery feels totally impossible "I want to eat the way I should, yet I don't" Anxiety around food Over-exercising and calorie counting Worrying about how others see me Struggling to give up control Rigid routines and bad habits that are hard to break Eating differently than family Decades of disordered relationship with food and body Always relapsing when life happens The Greatest Wishes Women Have When Lindsey asks "What is your greatest wish?" she hears: I want to live life FREE I want to be healthier and better I want to eat "normal" (whatever that is) I want to nourish my body I want to be happy and healthy I want to stop thinking about food constantly I want to eat without fear of weight gain I want to go out to eat and enjoy it without looking at the menu beforehand I want flexibility I want to be present I want to LIVE The Bridge: Freedom IS Your Reality Freedom is possible no matter how you feel right now Feelings aren't forever - they change If you feel stuck year after year, same holidays, same struggles - it's time to stop the madness You have to stop the nagging voice keeping you in the cycle The Hard Truth You Need to Hear YOU have the power to transform your life completely - you, no one else If you had the "magic pill of power" to create peace, would you take it? You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries This only happens when you come PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE Warriors don't go into battle without a shield, sword, or team You need a PLAN and you need to EXECUTE The 3-Step Battle Plan to Turn Wishes Into Reality: Step 1: Get in Alignment with Your Biggest Challenge In order to defeat the enemy, you need a strategy What is your biggest worry? Your biggest challenge? You have to identify it clearly to fight it effectively Be specific - name the fear, the behavior, the thought pattern Step 2: Get in Alignment with Your Greatest Dream What is your biggest wish? Your greatest desire? Close your eyes - where do you see yourself in 1 year? 5 years? Your dream is achievable if you can imagine it This becomes your "why" - what you're fighting FOR Step 3: Study Your Opponent (Your Enemy) How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put in your all when you can't define it? How can you go to battle if you don't know what you're up against? What is your reward when you conquer? Study the enemy like no other: What does that voice inside your head say to you? She's constantly bargaining, right? "You don't need that" / "You can eat later" / "It's too early for a meal" What is she trying to manipulate you with? When you can SEPARATE your thoughts from HER thoughts, you can build your plan of attack Key Takeaways: ✨ Worries can work FOR you or AGAINST you - they can propel you forward or keep you stuck ✨ Wishes without action keep you in the same place - year after year, holiday after holiday ✨ Feelings aren't forever - no matter how stuck you feel right now, it can change ✨ You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle - the cycle only continues if you participate ✨ Your wishes must become GREATER than your worries - this is the tipping point ✨ Warriors don't go into battle unprepared - you need a shield, sword, helmet, and plan ✨ You're not meant to do this alone - going solo into battle is a losing strategy ✨ YOU have the power to transform your life - no one else can do this for you ✨ Freedom is already yours - it's been granted to you, you just have to claim it ✨ Commit to ONE action today - your future self will thank you Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "You can turn your worries and your wishes into your true realities" "Your worries can help you move forward or keep you stuck in the safe zone" "Wishes can keep you stuck if you do nothing about them" "If you feel like year after year you're stuck - Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving, Christmas after Christmas - you have to stop the madness" "Feelings aren't forever, friend. Feelings aren't forever" "You have power to completely transform your life. You. No one else" "If I gave you the magic pill of power to create peace in your life, would you do whatever it took?" "You have to stop loving the drama of the cycle" "Your wishes and dreams have to become GREATER than your worries and anxiety" "You will only find freedom if you become prepared for the battle" "Warriors don't go into battle without a shield. Would you go into battle without a sword? How about going into battle alone?" "Why are you going to battle without a plan or without others fighting with you?" "How can you fight what you can't see? How can you put your all when you can't define it?" "When you can separate your thoughts from HER thoughts, then you can build your plan of attack" "You are a mighty warrior. There is no doubt you're strong" "What are you waiting for? Freedom is yours. It's already been granted to you" "Feelings aren't forever. You are a warrior" "It's time to stop going to battle without a helmet and a sword, and it's time to stop going as if you're going at it alone" Scripture: You Are a Mighty Warrior Zechariah 10:5-12 (paraphrased): You shall be mighty in battle, trampling the foe in the mud of the streets. You shall fight because God is with you and you will put to shame the riders on horses. He will strengthen you. He will save you. He will bring you back because he has compassion for you. And you will be enough. You won't be rejected. For he is God and he will deliver you. You shall become a mighty warrior and your heart will be glad and your children will see it and rejoice. God will whistle for you and gather you in because he is redeeming you and you shall be as you were before. He will bring you home from the desert land and gather you. He will pass through the sea of troubles with you and strike down the waves, and all the depths will dry up. The enemy shall depart. He will make you strong and you shall walk in his name. Questions to Reflect On: About Your Challenges: What is your BIGGEST challenge right now in recovery? What worry keeps you up at night? What anxiety feels heaviest on your shoulders? Be specific - name it, define it, see it clearly About Your Dreams: What is your greatest wish for your life? What is your deepest desire? Why are you here? What do you truly want? If you close your eyes and see yourself in 1 year or 5 years free from this - what does that look like? About Your Enemy: What does that nagging voice say to you? What lies is she constantly telling you? What manipulations does she use to keep you stuck? How does she bargain with you throughout the day? Can you separate YOUR thoughts from HER thoughts? About Your Battle Plan: Do you have a strategy, or are you winging it? Are you going into battle with a shield, sword, and helmet? Are you trying to do this alone? What is ONE action you can take today that your future self will thank you for? The Big Question: What are you waiting for?

Zack Cooper of the American Enterprise Institute returns to the podcast to discuss the recent Trump-Xi meeting in Seoul. Who got the better deal, and is the year-long “truce” a stable one?  As both sides look to use this window to de-risk, who will have more leverage over the medium term? More broadly, Trump's Asia trip was a very important data point in helping us all understand what US foreign policy is now, how it is made, and what direction it's going in. The answers are not satisfying and very uncertain, but it's the most important question in international affairs today. There is no-one better than Zack to help one build a model of US foreign policy in the Trump era.

When was the last time you showed up as your whole self — messy bun, bold dreams, coffee cup in hand — and said, “This is me”? In this episode of The Communication Queen Podcast, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with Marianne Hickman, professional speaker, storytelling coach, and founder of The Elegant Office. Together, they unravel the truth that every Queen in business needs to hear: authenticity isn't optional — it's your greatest business strategy. From her journey as a single mom of five on food stamps to becoming a powerhouse on global stages, Marianne reveals how owning your story — every raw, unfiltered, audacious bit of it — builds unshakable trust. Kimberly and Marianne go deep on the “cost of conformity,” how to stop shrinking to fit, and why storytelling that comes from the scars (not the wounds) transforms audiences and careers alike. If you've ever felt like your story wasn't “professional” enough to share, this conversation will shake you awake. Because when you stop performing and start being real, your people don't just listen — they lean in.

Ever wake up and feel like you're living on autopilot — running a business, showing up for everyone, but feeling completely disconnected from what you actually want? In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really means when you're sick and tired of your day-to-day — and how to find clarity on what's next for you. If you've been craving change but can't quite see the path forward, this one's your sign to pause, reflect, and realign with what your soul's been whispering.

In today's episode, I sit down with sales coach and behavioral science expert Nick Graz to explore the moments that reshaped my understanding of success, control, and fulfillment. I share how losing over $100 million became the catalyst for rediscovering gratitude, empathy, accountability, and effective communication—and how surrendering control led to intentional living. Nick and I discuss what it means to build happiness through purpose, community, and daily discipline, and how success isn't about arriving somewhere new but about aligning who you are with what you're becoming. This conversation is about humility, faith, and finding meaning through service.
