Donald Forgione — Former Director of 175 Florida State Parks, with 40+ years in ecotourism, leadership, and public service. Now a business owner, speaker, and coach, Donald connects leadership lessons from nature to business. Mike Simmons — Founder of Find My Catalyst, leadership coach, and sales strategist, helping people identify and act on their catalyst for change. Three Key Quotes Donald Forgione: “Trust is the key to absolutely everything… If they're not feeling what I'm saying, I might as well throw it out the window.” Mike Simmons: “A revenue challenge is often a culture challenge in disguise. Culture starts with leadership. Leadership starts with self.” Donald Forgione: “Superman ain't coming. You have to be your own Superman, your own Wonder Woman — and figure it out.” Mike and Donald explore the deep connections between nature and leadership, revealing how adaptability, trust, and asking the right questions can transform teams and culture. They share real-world lessons from state parks to sales, showing leaders how to align purpose, overcome obstacles, and create environments where people thrive. 5 Key Takeaways – Finding Your Catalyst in Leadership 1. Adaptability is Essential Nature changes daily, sometimes hourly — so do business environments. Leaders must adjust “sails” when conditions shift, not fight the wind. Like a river finding a new path, flexibility keeps momentum moving forward. 2. Trust is the Foundation Without trust, communication falls flat — people must feel you're genuine. Consistent standards and fairness build credibility. Trust enables teams to follow direction, even in tough changes. 3. Ask Better Questions Leaders have an obligation to ask questions others won't. Tone, timing, and context matter — the “tailgate” setting often works best. Asking opens doors to insight; telling can shut them. 4. Sales is Everyone's Job Selling is solving problems, not pushing products. Every role in an organization impacts customer experience. Internal and external “customers” both require thoughtful service. 5. Break Down Silos Customers don't care which department “owns” the problem. Internal collaboration is as important as external service. Remove political barriers so the mission comes first.

Listener Challenge: Your Catalyst Connection This week, take 15 minutes to connect one lesson from nature to your work. Step 1 – Observe: Go for a walk in a park, your neighborhood, or any outdoor space. Notice one thing that stands out — a tree's growth pattern, the way water flows, how animals interact, or even the weather. Step 2 – Reflect: Ask yourself: What obstacle is this natural element facing? How is it adapting or overcoming? How does this mirror challenges in my team or business? Step 3 – Act: Identify one small change you can make in your leadership or work this week inspired by that observation. Example: If you see water rerouting around rocks, consider how you can redirect your team's energy around a roadblock rather than trying to push through it.

In today's connected world, corporate executives and board members live in a digital space that extends far beyond their company's networks. Chris Pierson, CEO and Founder of BlackCloak, explains how protecting leaders requires more than traditional enterprise security—it calls for securing their personal digital lives.The threat landscape for high-profile individuals includes everything from compromised personal email accounts and hacked home networks to deepfake attacks and targeted identity theft. These risks not only threaten the individual but can cause significant financial and reputational damage to the companies they represent.BlackCloak addresses this by providing digital executive protection—securing executives, their families, and their homes with a blend of technology, privacy measures, and concierge-level service. This includes monitoring and removing data from brokers, detecting threats in the dark web, safeguarding home IoT devices, and even protecting yachts, jets, and vacation properties. The company also acts as an on-call cybersecurity and privacy advisor 24/7/365.A key component is the BlackCloak app, which serves as a security dashboard and communication hub. Through it, clients can see privacy risks being addressed in real time, receive alerts, and contact their dedicated concierge team. Behind the scenes, deception networks and active monitoring provide an extra layer of defense.Pierson highlights the growing convergence of cyber and physical threats. High-profile attacks and incidents in recent years underscore the importance of integrating cybersecurity with physical security, particularly for executives who are constantly in the public eye. With AI accelerating both the speed and sophistication of attacks, organizations need to consider a holistic approach—protecting not only networks and devices but the digital personas of their people.Ultimately, Pierson sees this as part of a broader shift toward making security a lifestyle component for executives, much like comprehensive healthcare benefits. It's about creating an always-on layer of protection that travels with them—whether they're in the office, at home, or halfway around the world.Learn more about BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebNote: This story contains promotional content.Learn more.Guest:Chris Pierson, Founder & CEO, BlackCloak | https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchristopherpierson/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com______________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from BlackCloak: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/blackcloakLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-storyKeywords: Black Hat 2025, zero trust security, cybersecurity conference, ThreatLocker, default deny strategy, endpoint protection, application control, threat detection, enterprise security, network security, cybersecurity solutions, security automation, malware prevention, cyber threats, information security, security platform, Black Hat USA, cybersecurity innovation, managed detection response, security operations

Send us a textToday, I'm honored to introduce you to Brandon Young and Blayne Smith—co-authors of the impactful book “Perseverance is Greater than Endurance: Lead with Resilience. Grow through Adversity. Win Together.” What do Brandon, a former US Army Ranger, and Blayne, a former Green Beret, know about leadership? Quite a bit. Their experiences in high-pressure environments have shaped a practical, values-based leadership philosophy that's both insightful and relevant.When I received this book, I immediately read it from cover to cover and have even begun re-reading it. And I did something I don't typically do: I highlighted the heck out of it, I scribbled in the margins, I dog-eared pages, all the things.  It was too good not to! The parallels to nursing really resonated with me, as their insights about leadership apply equally whether you're in a war zone, a corporate meeting, or on a busy hospital floor. Brandon and Blayne are the driving forces behind Applied Leadership Partners, and they've formed strategic partnerships with major companies like Nike, Walmart, Starbucks, Microsoft, and Amazon. They emphasize the importance of adopting impactful leadership practices to create strong, cohesive teams. And if anyone belongs here, they do. As I told Brandon and Blayne, their credibility got them in the room, and their humility keeps them in the space. On top of their achievements, they also host the Applied Leadership Podcast, which I genuinely enjoy. The format is refreshing: two friends, one question, half an hour, zero script. Their conversations are not only thoughtful but also sprinkled with fun, addressing topics about life, business, and leadership. Nurse or not, you need to hear Brandon and Blayne's powerful messages delivered with experience, humor, and humility.In the five-minute snippet: You'll get to see just how well they know each other—it's a fun take on the Newlywed Game! For Brandon and Blayne's bios, visit my website (link below).Contact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Dr. Keith Dorsey. The two talk about the journey toward greater gender diversity in corporate boardrooms, the importance of cognitive diversity as a business imperative, and actionable strategies women can use to position themselves for board opportunities. In this episode, we discuss:  Dr. Keith Dorsey's transition from a career as a turnaround specialist in corporate America and the U.S. Air Force into board advisory and executive coaching, and his eventual focus on increasing diversity on corporate boards. What inspired Dr. Dorsey's recent book, The Boardroom Journey, which provides strategies for women pursuing board seats, and how this work stemmed from both his academic and practical experiences. When recent progress in women's board representation saw a spike—from under 15% to over 30% in California and among Fortune 500/SP500 firms after 2018—but why these gains may have plateaued and what needs to happen next. Why women must control what they can, actively building their personal brand, networking widely, and repairing old relationships, to ensure future opportunities. How the “who knows you” factor is a game changer for board placement, visibility, reputation, and even relationships, to unexpected connections can make all the difference. Dr. Keith D. Dorsey is an executive coach, thought leader, and author with 25+years of experience in leadership development, corporate governance, and OptimalDiversity™—a framework pairing visible demographics with hidden strengths like unique experiences and perspectives to boost performance. His book, The Boardroom Journey, delivers practical strategies for women pursuing board seats. Keith holds a Doctorate in Organizational Change and Leadership from USC and an MBA from Pepperdine. As a trusted advisor, he empowers professionals to break barriers, build social capital, and lead with purpose at the highest organizational levels.

Rosalia Rivera, a fervent Founder and Co-Founder for Consent Parenting and Brave Movement.org joins us to dissect the multifaceted challenges of raising children in a tech-saturated era. Together, we discuss the urgent issue of online harm regarding the lack of tech transparency of CSAM, (Child Sexual Abuse Material) sexploitation of teens and youth being targets through online apps, social media platforms and online gaming. By describing the internet and the app store to a bustling mall that kids can actively browse and instantly download, without any age gating or device age regulation, we underscore the need for parental vigilance and legislative measures like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to shield our youth from unintended digital dangers and predatory harms. Our conversation emphasizes the critical role parents, our communities and our non-profits continue to advocate for tech KOSA policy, which was a supported issue by both parties of Congress in 2024, but has since been sidelined. However, with the proliferation of AI Sexual Content on the rise, KOSA and AI safety regulation need to be that play a vital role in the digital landscape as we are moving faster into the AI stratosphere. As we both do support technology as critical tools to help our daily lives, we turn our attention to the innovative technologies and organizations dedicated to child safety, such as BARK PHONES, THORN and HEAT. Companies like Bark and Pinwheel offer phone solutions alternatives for monitoring digital interactions, while organizations such as Thorne, Heat and Child Rescue Coalition work tirelessly to combat child exploitation. The discussion pivots to our own tech habits and the powerful influence they wield on our children. By advocating for mindful technology use and supporting companies that prioritize child safety, we encourage listeners to take an active role in shaping a safer digital future for all. Join us on Latinas from the Block to the Boardroom as we champion a proactive approach to technology, empowering parents and particularly women of color, in these essential conversations.

The Puerto Rican superstar is in the midst of a historic 30-show residency in San Juan, an event fans and culture writers are calling a defining cultural moment for Puerto Rico. These concerts have become more than just performances—they're celebrations of heritage, resilience, and Bad Bunny's connection to his roots, drawing thousands and captivating his hometown of Vega Baja.

Dr. Greg Williams—a globally recognized negotiation and body language expert known as the “Master Negotiator.” He joins me on the show to share insights from over 30 years of experience and his Harvard training. We discuss the importance of meticulous planning and how to recognize and counter aggressive negotiating maneuvers. Dr. Williams shares real-world examples—from complex business deals to high-pressure hostage situations—highlighting the power of adaptability, reading nonverbal cues, and understanding motivation in every negotiation. Packed with actionable advice and memorable stories, this conversation is designed to empower you to approach every negotiation with confidence and integrity. Whether you're facing internal politics or tough procurement professionals, Dr. Williams' expertise will inspire you to refine your negotiation skills and achieve win-win outcomes. Outline of This Episode [03:16] Negotiation tactics vary based on context and goals, requiring adaptability in approach and tone [07:59] Strategies to use in internal conflict in negotiations  [11:16] Use questions to assess if demands are genuine or a negotiation tactic [13:27] Take note of background information for future leverage [17:56] How a hostage situation involving a father with a gun to his son's head was resolved by a body language expert  [20:19] You're always negotiating—what you do today influences tomorrow's activities Closing in High-Stakes Sales Deals A common misconception is that negotiation strategy and tactics are interchangeable. Dr. Williams clarifies the distinction: strategy is the guiding plan you lead with, while tactics are the tools you use to implement that strategy. Tactics support, build upon, and adapt to your strategy as the negotiation unfolds. For example, if your strategy is to make the opposing party feel valued and appreciated, a logical tactic might be to extend an unexpected, thoughtful gift. This gesture utilizes the power of reciprocity—people tend to give back when they receive, which can open the door to more concessions and a friendlier negotiation environment.  Building Adaptive Negotiation Strategies No two negotiations are the same, so an effective negotiator remains flexible and tailors their approach to the unique personalities, organizational goals, and circumstances involved. Confidence, amenability, assertiveness, or neutrality—each can be powerful, but only when used at the right moment. Reading the room and even modulating your voice are subtle yet powerful indicators that shape the dynamics at the negotiation table. The Crucial Role of Preparation and Planning “Planning is everything,” Dr. Williams insists. Entering a negotiation underprepared puts you at a sharp disadvantage. Effective negotiators plot out “what-if” scenarios, establish mile markers to track progress, and construct exit strategies in case the deal veers off-course. Preparation also means looking inward—evaluating your objectives and the motivations of all stakeholders at the table. Dr. Williams highlights how, in complex sales involving multiple internal divisions, misaligned teams can be their own worst enemy, sometimes negotiating harder with each other than with the external party. Internal alignment through clear objectives, information sharing plans, and even mock negotiations helps ensure the team is unified and prepared for whatever the other side brings. Recognizing and Countering Aggressive Tactics Professional procurement negotiators often deploy aggressive moves like last-minute demands or “nibbling” for additional concessions at the end. Dr. Williams advocates assessing the true intent and long-term value of the deal before reacting. By calmly asking probing questions—such as “Why do you need that?”—the negotiator can reveal whether these are genuine concerns or just red herrings designed to extract further concessions. Information gained during these exchanges is invaluable. As Dr. Williams demonstrates through a mock scenario on the podcast, even casual comments about personal or organizational motivations can be leveraged in future negotiations. Top Dos and Don'ts of Negotiation Dr. Williams also shares his top three negotiation dos: Never confuse lack of preparation with being prepared. Enter with your facts, scenarios, and exit plans in hand. Seek to understand motivations. Every party brings hidden drivers to the table—learn them before negotiating. Don't assume a verbal agreement is the end. Post-negotiation follow-up is crucial to ensure all parties stay committed. Conversely, avoid entering deals blindly, neglecting to clarify the other party's interests, and failing to validate the agreement after the negotiation ends.  As Dr. Williams recounts from his own challenging experience negotiating a hostage situation, the most effective negotiators blend empathy, preparation, and adaptability. Whether a life-or-death standoff or a multi-million dollar business deal, the underlying principle remains: leverage your value by viewing every interaction as part of an ongoing negotiation. The best negotiators plan, listen, adapt, and always look for the motivations that move the deal forward.

Today, we're going to go deeper into the world of cyber attacks than we have ever done before. We'll be looking at the insurance claims that they produce as well as the longer-term consequences for their victims Often as journalists covering cyber insurance we focus on the big hacks, the headline numbers, and gloss over the detail of the personal stories and the real hard yards that have to be run to recover from an attack and the potential long-term consequences for a business, its directors, its customers and all other stakeholders. As the immediate damage and business interruption triggers potential regulatory, statutory and other serious third-party consequences, these hard yards often have to be run down multiple different paths simultaneously. The in-depth interviews that follow will deepen your understanding of the more complex and long-tail nature of this peril. I'd like to put you right in the room in the shoes of the Directors of a company as an attack unfolds. We're going behind the scenes to uncover what it's really like when a business becomes the target of a digital assault, from the immediate shock to the long-term repercussions that are often ignored by boards. We're also going to go into detail on how the nature of the cyber threat and the tactics of cyber criminals are evolving. To help me in this task my guests are: Magnus Jelen, (pictured top) Director of Incident Response EMEA for Coveware, a firm that helps victims of cyber extortion recover their data; and three senior executives at Beazley: Raf Sanchez (pictured 2nd from top), Beazley's Head of Cyber Services, Cyber Risks. Melissa Collins, (pictured 2nd from bottom) Head of Third Party Cyber & Tech Claims, and Wayne Imrie, (pictured bottom) Head of London Market Wholesale Executive Risks. Magnus and Raf are right on the front line, dealing with the immediate consequences of a hack. Magnus even deals with the hackers themselves. Melissa deals with the external insurance claims that result and Wayne is a Directors and Officers (D&O) specialist who has a deep understanding of how the D&O and Cyber insurance products interact. LINKS:  As promised, here is the link to Beazley's latest Risk and Resilience Survey Spotlight on Tech Transformation & Cyber Risk 2025: https://www.beazley.com/en-001/news-and-events/spotlight-on-tech-transformation-cyber-risk-2025/

Ken Banta is the founder and CEO of The Vanguard Network, a by-invitation-only community for top-level executives. He and his firm help C-Suite executives and business owners fine-tune their management skills, build valuable new relationships, and elevate the performance of their organizations. One of Ken's surprising recommendations is that companies do away with long-term strategic plans and instead focus primarily on the immediate horizon. “The way things move today is so quick and so unpredictable that having detailed strategies …seems to me to be really antiquated,” he says, akin to trying to predict the location of the next lightning strike. Ken is the author of Seeing Around Corners: C-Suite Wisdom from America's Most Insightful Leaders, a powerful collection of leadership insights from dozens of wise CEOs, general counsels, and boardroom veterans. But Ken's insights aren't only applicable to large companies and for-profit organizations.

  In this special episode, I sat down with Peter Bissonnette—former President of Shaw Communications—to talk about his remarkable leadership journey and his upcoming book, Count on Me, launching July 18th. Peter's story is anything but conventional. From life in a monastery to serving in the Air Force, and ultimately leading one of Canada's most recognized telecommunications companies, his path to leadership is rooted in humility, adaptability, and service to others. Leadership Lessons from a Life Well-Lived Peter and I explored how his unique experiences shaped a grounded, people-first leadership style. Whether navigating high-stakes negotiations or union agreements, Peter emphasized that values like empathy, accountability, and active listening were key drivers of his success. His book Count on Me captures these moments and lessons, offering a compelling case study in transformational leadership. Shaw Communications: Embracing Change, Staying Human We reflected on Shaw's evolution—from its early days in cable to becoming a major player in internet and wireless services. Peter shared how strategic investments in infrastructure and top-tier talent enabled the company to stay ahead of technological shifts. He also highlighted how Shaw's unwavering commitment to employee well-being and customer experience helped it weather the pandemic's unprecedented challenges. It's a blueprint for change management done right—with heart. Culture as a Catalyst for Success Peter opened up about Shaw's intentional leadership culture, grounded in trust, care, and shared accountability. He described how these values created a sense of belonging and mutual respect across teams. I couldn't agree more—when employees feel supported, they deliver their best. That culture doesn't just drive business results; it builds loyalty and resilience. Why Count on Me Matters Now More Than Ever Peter spent three years writing Count on Me, a legacy project meant to inspire current and future leaders. The book explores the deeper purpose of leadership—how it's less about personal accolades and more about empowering others and leaving things better than you found them.
