Podcasts about Authenticity

In this second part of my conversation with sales expert Justine Beauregard, we explore how to sell with authenticity. Justine, who helps scale businesses to as much as $300 million, shares more of her proven approach to sales, focusing on how to secure the right clients without relying on manipulative tactics.   You'll learn to see sales as a natural extension of your work of supporting others by offering them something they need, rather than pushing a sale. If you're still grappling with discomfort around sales, this episode will help you rethink your mindset and give you the confidence to step into sales with clarity and ease.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/249

Join host Justin Forman for a crucial conversation with Dave Blanchard, CEO of Praxis, as they pause to reflect on where the faith-driven entrepreneurship movement stands today. In a year marked by uncertainty and rapid change, Dave shares insights from Praxis's annual letter, exploring how entrepreneurs can navigate challenges while staying true to their calling.This episode dives deep into the "moral ecology" that defines authentic faith-driven entrepreneurship - moving beyond buzzwords to examine what it truly means to build redemptively in today's marketplace. From practicing what we preach to embracing meaningful risk, Dave and Justin unpack the essential code that separates genuine Kingdom builders from those merely using faith as a marketing tool.Key Topics:The moral ecology of faith-driven entrepreneurship: 8 core principlesWhy "practicing what you preach" is the foundation of authentic leadershipThe three types of risk every entrepreneur must consider: money, comfort, and reputationHow to maintain Kingdom identity while building in the marketplaceThe difference between driven leaders and called leadersWhy people are eternal and projects are temporalNavigating the shift from faith being risky to mention to potentially exploiting itBuilding businesses that demonstrate redemptive practices, not just talk about themNotable Quotes:"People are eternal and projects are temporal. So how do we operationalize that?" - Dave Blanchard"Culture is not codified until someone loses their job because they violated it." - Dave Blanchard"There's a chance anytime the door opens up for us that we say, 'Oh, man, we felt exploited for so long by not being able to say this.'" - Dave Blanchard"When you find yourself exploding at a situation, something's gone haywire with your need for an outcome, your desire for control." - Dave Blanchard

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Listen in this week as Jill proposes a challenge for listeners - to give 11 genuine compliments to 11 different people over the course of 11 consecutive days, beginning on August 11th! She notes that so many people struggle to give sincere compliments, often defaulting to insincere ones, so the challenge is intended to push listeners to be more present, observant, and generous with their praise of others. While Jill acknowledges that this can initially feel uncomfortable and/or vulnerable at first, she encourages listeners to step outside of their comfort zones and to push past those feelings, outlining some steps to help prepare such as taking time for self-reflection and self-compliments each day before giving them to others. Jill also suggests that going through this process of intentionally complimenting others can be eye-opening and transformative and may even reveal things about yourself, your relationships with others, and/or the general social dynamic of withholding genuine praise. She is really excited about this challenge and invites you to listen in for more details! We could all use a little personal growth, increased mindfulness, and social connection after all! Show Notes: [01:36] - Jill is inviting listeners to give 11 authentic compliments daily for 11 days! [03:39] - Jill argues that compliments need to be truthful, not just people-pleasing attempts. [06:25] - You'll discover self-awareness, connection, and emotional depth via consistent, sincere compliments, even when it's hard. [08:42] - Hear why so many of us tend to be guarded and stingy with compliments. [10:43] - Authenticity starts with grounding your body via breath and sound before taking outward action. [13:13] - Jill encourages listeners to start each day of the 11 days off with compliments to themselves. [15:14] - The 11-11-11 challenge begins on August 11th, so reflect beforehand, and share the journey with others!

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into critical mindset, leadership, and business growth strategies for coaches aiming for six and seven-figure practices. They break down the psychology of self-sabotage, share frameworks to reprogram negative thinking, discuss the power of humility, and reveal why breaking complexity into "threes" is a game-changer in coaching and business leadership. The episode also offers tactical advice on creating effective demonstrations for client acquisition, maximizing wealth, and learning from industry giants like Elon Musk. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Coaching Karl Bryan and Rode Dog outline a four-step mental pattern for self-sabotage, including how coaches attach setbacks to their identity and spiral into negative action. The solution: shift focus to learnings and gratitude, solidify a stronger self-identity, practice self-forgiveness, and set big, audacious goals to play bigger. The Power of the “Three Framework” The hosts explain why breaking concepts into sets of three—be it frameworks, leadership techniques, or messaging—enhances recall and action. Examples abound, from “lead gen, conversion, fulfillment” to Amazon's focus on “low prices, vast selection, fast delivery.” Zen and Humility in Business They discuss how humility is a superpower for entrepreneurs seeking long-term wealth and freedom—not just flashy material wins. Professionals focus on what could go wrong, guard their wealth, and aim for optionality, not just accumulation. Amateur vs. Pro Mindset Amateurs practice until they get it right; pros practice until they can't get it wrong. Thought patterns, decision-making, and actions must all level up for true mastery in business coaching. Leadership Through Threes CEO essentials: visual scoreboard, leverage, structure. Founders' three reflection questions: What don't I see? Where are my assumptions incorrect? What do I need to learn? Leadership in practice: Ask, listen, learn. Elon Musk and First Principles Thinking Break big problems into small parts and don't fear starting at the fundamental level—applicable for coaches needing to revamp their demo, offer, or client acquisition process. Vulnerability and Authenticity in Coaching Why trying to appear perfect hurts coaching conversions and authentic rapport; admitting flaws and sharing real stories is a conversion superpower. Notable Quotes “When you succeed, you party. When you fail, you ponder. There's a lot of money in pondering.” “You want your present to be better? You need to make your future bigger.” (attributed to Dan Sullivan) “Amateurs practice until they get it right, pros practice until they can't get it wrong.” “The person that comes across as too perfect… is the person that will screw you over 10x.” “Defense wins championships. Are you and your clients playing defense as well as offense?” Actionable Takeaways Rewire for Success: When facing setbacks, actively seek out lessons, practice gratitude, and attach positive, aspirational “I am” statements to your identity. Forgive yourself often and set bigger goals to avoid playing small. Harness the Power of Three: Break down complex strategies, presentations, or learning models into three key points for maximum retention and clarity. Examples: Lead Gen, Conversion, Fulfillment; Ask, Listen, Learn; Visual Scoreboard, Leverage, Structure. Practice Humility: Focus on optionality and long-term wealth, not just flashy success; stay humble, and aim to be trainable and open to learning like an investor rather than just a producer. Demonstrate Don't Explain: Develop and perfect a dynamic demonstration of your coaching value to secure clients—don't just rely on explanations. Prioritize Defense: Regularly assess risk, improve financial “defense,” and focus as much on wealth preservation as on new client acquisition. Embrace Vulnerability: Be authentic in your story and interactions—share failures as well as successes to build deeper client rapport and trust.

In this episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay welcomes back counselor, neurodiversity educator, and yoga facilitator Caz Pringle-Bowden for a deep dive into a transformative concept for ADHD families — the Family Operational Manual. If parenting your child with ADHD often feels like chaos without a game plan, this episode offers a unique and practical tool that could change the way your household operates. Dana and Caz explore how understanding each family member's brain wiring can shift a household from reactive to regulated. With real-life examples, creative metaphors, and small, actionable tips, they walk you through how to create a shared playbook tailored to your family's needs — helping you move from daily friction to connection and confidence. Link Mentioned in the Show: Caz's first Soaring Child Podcast episode on Equine-Assisted Therapy - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-155/ Free Breakfast Guide - https://bit.ly/4b98NZe    Key Takeaways: [3:14] Introduction to the ADHD Family Manual [4:10] Understanding Brain Differences Through Metaphors [6:20] Creating Shared Language in Families [10:20] Practical Steps for Manual Creation [19:35] The Importance of a System Over Discipline Memorable Moments: If parenting your child with ADHD feels like coaching a team that doesn't know the rules or the plays or even what sport they're playing, you are definitely not alone. You're yelling instructions, your partner is doing something else entirely, and your kids are off in the corner melting down. The operational manual is sort of like a brilliant metaphor for externalizing a person's pathway to best and calmest functioning. If we are in a calm, regulated state, we can really enjoy ourselves. We're supposed to move in and out of those states, but ultimately we do want to set things up for success. This isn't a discipline issue, it's a systems issue. Creating a family operational manual removes assumptions and builds understanding. Authenticity is contagious. It's not bad. It's not them doing anything wrong. It's just the wiring. Rome wasn't built in a day, listeners. Remember that one. How to Connect to Caz: Website: https://www.cazpringlebowden.com.au/  Dana Kay Resources:

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Jessica Fairchild—an extraordinary lawyer, entrepreneur, and advocate for a new kind of workplace culture. Jessica's story is one of continual reinvention, courageous pivots, and an unwavering commitment to values-driven leadership. Jessica is the co-founder and partner at Fairchild and Bair, a Chicago-based law firm built on flexibility, trust, and purpose. As you'll hear in our conversation, her 25-year legal career has not followed a traditional path. And that's exactly what makes her story so compelling. From Accounting Major to M&A Trailblazer Jessica didn't grow up dreaming of being a lawyer. In fact, she studied accounting in college and only considered law school after enjoying a business law class. With no attorneys in her immediate family, this leap was both unexpected and bold. But as she puts it, “I followed my gut.” After cutting her teeth in a large Chicago law firm, she took a big risk—leaving to become general counsel for Chicago's Olympic bid. That three-year detour turned out to be a pivotal moment in her journey. The experience showed her how law could intersect with leadership, creativity, and impact. It also sparked her entrepreneurial spirit. Building a Firm with Flexibility at Its Core Jessica founded her own firm in 2010, without a business plan but with a clear sense of purpose: to build a law practice where she—and others—could bring their authentic selves to work. In 2019, that mission expanded with the merger that formed Fairchild and Bair, alongside like-minded partners. Today, the firm boasts nearly 100 lawyers and a business model that reflects the realities and values of a new generation. What sets Jessica's approach apart? It's the deliberate culture of flexibility and inclusion. Whether accommodating a lawyer working remotely from Madrid or welcoming professionals who've stepped away from the workforce, the firm embraces nonlinear career paths. “We meet people where they are,” Jessica explains. That philosophy has helped them attract top talent from firms where rigid structures no longer fit. If you would like to watch our interview, it is on YouTube: Law as Business, Practice, and Purpose Jessica is as much a business leader as she is a legal expert. She emphasizes that today's law firms must be more than traditional billable-hour machines. They must be responsive to change, open to new technologies (including AI), and built around human-centered leadership. Her firm is exploring how AI can make legal work more efficient—not to replace lawyers, but to empower them. And in a profession where many still define themselves by their titles or roles, Jessica is carving out space for lawyers to live full, multidimensional lives. As she wisely notes, “You've got to find a place where you can be your authentic self.” Key Takeaways Jessica offers two powerful insights for all professionals—not just lawyers: Find a place where you can be your authentic self. If your current environment doesn't support who you are, there are others that will. Think of your career as a journey, not a destination. Jessica's path has included pivots, risks, and new beginnings. That's what made it rich and meaningful. Why This Matters Now This episode couldn't come at a better time. With workplaces in flux, AI reshaping industries, and the next generation demanding purpose and flexibility, Jessica's story provides a blueprint for a new kind of leadership—one that balances innovation with humanity.

Unleashing Purpose and Prosperity with Pushkar Anand In this compelling episode, I sit down with Pushkar Anand, a transformational leader whose 15-year journey from high-achieving banker to purpose-driven author is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a quest for personal success evolved into a mission to uplift humanity and empower others to unlock their highest potential. From Success-Seeker to Soul-Driven Leader Pushkar shares his evolution—rooted in voracious learning, with over 500 books read, countless seminars attended, and deep mentorship. His goal shifted from decoding the formula for success to creating a roadmap for others, helping them accelerate their growth without the long detour. His book is the result: a guide for those ready to step into their truth, purpose, and power. Authenticity as the Gateway to Purpose We dive into the heart of living authentically—what it really means to embody who you're meant to be. Pushkar's core belief is that once you're aligned with your true self, abundance naturally follows. I add that living with purpose makes us more resilient, magnetic, and inspiring. The answers we seek aren't “out there”—they live within us. Vibrational Alignment and Financial Freedom Pushkar breaks down how aligning your self-image with your financial vision can unlock exponential results. It's not just about goal-setting—it's about becoming the person who already has what they desire. By embracing “inspired action,” we can shift from hustle to harmony, planting seeds today for the wealth of tomorrow. The Power of Belief and Wealth Consciousness We unpack the deep power of self-belief, the rarity of human existence, and how our internal dialogue shapes our external reality. Pushkar introduces his “6 Statutes of Money,” challenging the myth that wealth is dependent on family background or formal education. The real key? Vibrational alignment and mindset mastery. Mastering Wealth Through Inner Work Pushkar explains that wealth isn't just earned—it's tuned into. Financial success is the byproduct of purpose, belief, and inner alignment. One of his key principles: there's no universal definition of “wealth”—it's as unique as each person's mission. Rewiring the subconscious can shift everything. A Book That Shifts Paradigms We close the conversation by exploring the impact of Pushkar's book—crafted to serve those ready to evolve. Whether you're starting your journey or looking to deepen your alignment with purpose and prosperity, Pushkar invites listeners to explore more through his site: PushkarAnandsWorld.com, where you'll find free resources, transformational programs, and tools to master your wealth from the inside out.  Pushkar Anand is the author of the #1 international bestseller Manifest Your Infinite Riches and founder of the Centre for Infinite Riches. Educated at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics, Pushkar was in the early stages of his traditional corporate career when a profound moment of insight in 2008 led him to evaluate his life expectations and priorities. This moment of insight set Pushkar on his quest as a seeker: an extraordinary quest of endless research and self-discovery that covered more than 500 books, thirty seminars, workshops and immersive learning experiences, and an intense four-year period of study with his teacher – Blaine Bartlett, whom he fondly addresses as Grandmaster B². Pushkar's fifteen-year journey resulted in his founding the Centre for Infinite Riches and authoring Manifest Your Infinite Riches. The Centre is best defined as a movement; a movement, whose purpose is to Uplift Humanity by empowering everyone it touches to become the person they were always meant to be. The Centre's vision is to uplift four million people by Pushkar's 50th birthday on October 21, 2026 and 100 million people by Grandmaster B²'s 80th birthday on September 9, 2026. https://pushkaranandsworld.com/about/ Book:  Manifest Your Infinite Riches

Some Challenges in Neurodivergent Communication Summary In this episode, Patricia discusses the challenges faced by AuDHDers and other neurodivergent individuals in communication, particularly regarding lack of responding to messages. She explores the concept of internalized ableism and how it affects self-perception and interactions. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on the importance of flexibility in relationships and the need for authenticity in communication. The conversation emphasizes the struggles of neurodivergent individuals, including executive functioning challenges, and the significance of self-acceptance and understanding in navigating social situations.   HIGHLIGHTS It's not uncommon for neurodivergent individuals to struggle with responding to messages. ·       Internalized ableism can affect how we perceive our struggles. ·       Flexibility in relationships is helpful for understanding each other's challenges. ·       People often have their own timeframes for communication. ·       It's important to give ourselves permission to not always follow plans. ·       Authenticity in communication can foster better relationships. ·       Neurodivergent individuals often attract other neurodivergent friends and partners with similar experiences. ·       Comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy among neurodivergent individuals. ·       Being open about our struggles can help others feel validated. ·       Sensitivity is a natural part of being neurodivergent and should be embraced.  SOUND BITES "I have so much room for that." "We have a hard time taking breaks." "It's hard for me to not compare." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED ·      You have a right to be joyful, forgetful, ableist, non-ableist, stimmy, non-stimmy.  ·      You're not for everyone.

Women in leadership AI roles face unprecedented challenges as artificial intelligence transforms the workplace, yet their ability to empathize and act ethically positions them to lead organizations into a future where technology serves humanity rather than replacing it. Bottom Line Up Front: Women in leadership face systemic challenges as jobs traditionally held by women are much more exposed to automation, yet the ability of women to empathize and act ethically makes them ideally placed to lead us into a future where AI benefits all society. The key to thriving as a female leader in 2025 is leveraging AI and leadership strategies that preserve your authentic voice and human-centered approach. The Great Leadership Inflection Point: Why Women Leaders Must Act Now. Women in Leadership AIWe're standing at what thought leader Faisal Hoque calls "one of those inflection points" - similar to when the printing press was developed or we transitioned from horse and buggy to automobiles. This isn't just technological change; it's a fundamental shift that will define the rise and fall of leaders and companies over the next 3, 5, 10, and 30 years.For women in leadership positions - whether you're a manager implementing AI tools, director overseeing technology strategy, VP of innovation, C-suite executive governing AI policy, or founder building AI-powered companies - this moment presents both unprecedented challenges and remarkable opportunities. Jobs traditionally held by women are much more exposed to AI than those traditionally held by men, but paradoxically, women were found to have a 28% higher share of soft, interpersonal skills that help us work well together, such as team leadership, strategic leadership and collaboration.The Hybrid World Reality for Female Leadership DevelopmentAs Hoque explains in his groundbreaking book "Transcend," we've entered a hybrid world where we must live not just with human beings, but with human beings enabled by artificial intelligence, and sometimes with AI itself. This reality demands a new approach to AI and leadership - one that women leaders are uniquely positioned to excel in.What Makes Us Uniquely Human: The Foundation of Leadership AuthenticityThe Complexity Advantage for Women in LeadershipHuman complexity is our superpower. According to Hoque, what makes us human is "our complexity, the complexity of freedom, complexity of purpose, complexity of survival, complexity of how we treat each other." This isn't a bug in human leadership - it's a feature that AI cannot replicate.For women in leadership implementing AI strategies, this complexity often manifests as:Multi-dimensional thinking shaped by navigating workplace bias and systemic barriersEmpathetic problem-solving that considers multiple stakeholder perspectivesAuthentic vulnerability that builds trust and psychological safetyIntuitive decision-making that balances data with human insightThe Leadership Authenticity ImperativeIn a world where AI can now mimic empathy, generate creative content, and even simulate love, leadership authenticity becomes your competitive differentiator. Women leaders at every level are more likely to be concerned about AI's most pressing issues in the workplace, including misinformation perpetuation and introducing bias into talent processes.This heightened awareness of AI's risks positions women in leadership to:Champion ethical AI implementation in their organizationsProtect human dignity in increasingly automated workplacesBuild trust through transparent communication about AI's role and limitationsPreserve company culture that values human connection alongside technological advancementAbout Our Expert: Faisal HoqueFaisal Hoque is a renowned thought leader, best-selling author, and technology entrepreneur who has dedicated his career to exploring the intersection of humanity and technology. As the founder of multiple companies and author of several acclaimed books including "Transcend" and "Everyt...

Send us a textOkay so… you know how you sometimes hear someone drop a sentence like, “Oh, I can't make it that week; I'll be racing horses across Mongolia,” and you're like WAIT WHAT NOW? That's basically been me for years every time my friend Callie King casually mentions her life.So in this episode, I finally scratch that itch and go full nosy bitch mode. Because Callie is one of those people who lives so boldly and so intentionally that you kinda want to hate her, except she's also really chill and generous and has zero ego about it. Like, this woman has lived in a Chevy Tracker with her dog, owns multiple income properties, built an adobe house in Mexico by hand, and manifested a partner straight off her dream board. And she makes it all look effortless.But here's the thing. None of this happened because she was born rich or “just lucky.” It's mindset. It's values. It's choosing freedom over fear, again and again and again.We talk about how to make bold, “unreasonable” choices even when your bank account says nope, how to check yourself when you're operating from hustle-and-grind scarcity mode, and what it actually means to create a life that feels like yours.This episode is a wake-up call, but like, the loving kind. The kind with pancakes and a puppy and a side of "You're capable of so much more than this."What's Inside:How Callie built a wildly unconventional life (without a trust fund or tech-bro energy)Why your mindset around money might be what's actually keeping you stuckThe difference between taking action from fear vs. fun (and why it matters)What it really looks like to manifest a partner (hint: she didn't just light a candle and hope)So, yeah. If you've been dreaming about selling everything, living in a treehouse, or just getting the hell out of a life that no longer fits, this might be the episode you didn't know you needed.Spoiler alert: You don't need a five-year plan. You just need to start.Mentioned In This Episode:HorseClass on FacebookHorseClass on InstagramCallie on InstagramByron Katie's “The Work”Dr. Joe DispenzaOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

We're Julietta and Graciela, and we're sooooo excited to invite you into our Cacao Conversations—your weekly dose of heart-opening chats, all served with a warm cup of cacao. You'll feel like one of the family during this podcast where we speak frankly, and humorously, about some of life's big questions. We share wisdom we've picked up along the way and wonder out loud about lots of life's mysteries. Whether we're diving deep into transformation, laughing at life's quirks, or simply talking about the weather (which is, like, a much bigger deal at this age, isn't it?!?), you get a front row seat to our sometimes crazy, mostly spiritual and always authentic lives. From sweat lodge ceremonies to sweaty teen socks, we cover it all. So, grab your favorite mug, fill it with cacao and join us for some profound laughter. Cacao Conversations is about empowering you to remember who you are and step into the life that feels authentically yours. How do you embrace imperfection in your healing journey? We've all been there—wanting to “get it right,” to heal perfectly, to check all the boxes and finally feel “done.” But healing isn't linear, and it definitely isn't perfect. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to embrace imperfection as part of the journey. We talk about the messy, non-glamorous parts of healing that no one posts about on Instagram, the magic of showing up as you are, and the deep liberation that comes from letting go of unrealistic expectations. We'll share our personal stories, the missteps that taught us the most, and how we learned (and are still learning!) to love ourselves through every phase. If you've ever felt like you're “failing” at healing, this is your permission slip to breathe, laugh, and keep going. So pour your cacao, drop the pressure, and let's celebrate the beauty of being a perfectly imperfect work in progress—together. Your cup is ready. Your journey is waiting. Let's sip, chat, and transform—together. Find out more at https://www.bodyandsoulevents.love/ Hey! Thanks for listening!

Sabina Nawaz: You're the Boss Sabina Nawaz is an executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions. During her 14-year tenure at Microsoft, she went from managing software development teams to leading the company's executive development and succession planning efforts for over 11,000 managers and nearly a thousand executives, advising Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer directly. She's the author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)*. Every leader I know intends to be authentic. Unfortunately, we sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the critical work of calibrating our actions. In this conversation, Sabina and I discuss how to avoid that trap so we can show up more genuinely for others. Key Points “Yeah, but…” signals justification and holds us back from what we most need to learn. Your success comes despite unhelpful traits, not because of them. Pure authenticity is a complete fallacy. Authenticity is not singular. We sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the important work of calibrating our actions. Don't let the smokescreen of past “authenticity” get in the way of growth. Authenticity is not static. Reading your old past social media posts will remind you of this. When shifting, start with small experiments to nudge you in a new direction. Language that may be warning signs of the authenticity trap: “That's just how I am.” “I'm not the kind of person who…” “I'm not being true to myself if…” “That's the way I've always done things, and it's worked for me.” Resources Mentioned You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)* by Sabina Nawaz Interview Notes Download my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).
