Cyrus, a retired hospital chaplain turned mindset coach, has been helping people release limiting beliefs and negative self-talk through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) since 2018.

Jim Benson joined host Jamie Flinchbaugh on People Solve Problems to discuss his approach to collaboration and visual management as the foundation for successful Lean and Agile implementations. As Inquisitor at Modus Institute and creator of Personal Kanban, Jim brings a unique perspective on how organizations can remove workplace toxicity while dramatically improving effectiveness. Jim defines collaboration simply yet powerfully: two or more people working toward a common goal with systems in place that allow everyone to act with confidence. This definition cuts through the confusion often created when collaboration gets mixed up with consensus-building or other diluted interpretations. The key insight Jim shared is that confidence drives everything in business, just as consumer confidence drives the free market economy. Jim illustrated this concept through the story of a young procurement agent at Turner Construction who was responsible for purchasing everything from structural steel to toilet paper for a billion-dollar construction project in New York. Initially working from spreadsheets, he had to justify every decision to three levels of management, creating a cycle of criticism and second-guessing that undermined his confidence. When Jim helped implement an obeya with visual controls, everything changed. He could display his work transparently, allowing managers to see when projects were on track, in trouble but manageable, or requiring their expertise. The transformation was remarkable. Instead of commenting on everything he did, managers could now apply their expertise strategically when needed. He could act with confidence, knowing that everyone had visibility into his work and could provide help when necessary rather than criticism after the fact. Jim emphasized that this visual management approach removes toxicity from the workplace by creating clarity around roles, responsibilities, and when intervention is needed. Jim challenged the current trend of CEOs instituting longer work weeks while people are already working at 300% capacity, but only 25% effectiveness. He argued that most knowledge workers are operating far beyond sustainable levels, and the solution isn't more hours but better systems. By creating a better understanding of what people can handle and properly defining work upfront, organizations can increase effective throughput by 200-300% while making work easier and more enjoyable. The conversation touched on problem-solving approaches, where Jim distinguished between everyday operational issues and strategic thinking opportunities. He noted that most bottlenecks in modern business are actually collaborative opportunities that get addressed through non-collaborative means like new software or individual assignments. Instead, these issues often stem from information flowing between people in the wrong formats, which can be fixed simply by understanding what each person in the value stream actually needs. Jim offered a provocative alternative to traditional strategic planning, where leadership teams retreat to develop strategy in isolation. He suggested that companies have exponential strategic value equal to the number of employees raised to the power of the number of employees. Rather than excluding people from strategic planning, Jim advocates for involving everyone in developing strategies, tactics, and measures collaboratively. When people understand how their daily tasks connect to broader strategic goals, achieving corporate objectives becomes much easier. The underlying theme throughout Jim's insights is that most workplace dysfunction stems from people wanting to contribute meaningfully but lacking the systems and clarity to do so effectively. By implementing visual management and collaborative approaches, organizations can tap into this existing motivation while removing the barriers that create frustration and inefficiency. Jim's work can be explored further at modusinstitute.com, and he can be found on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/jimbenson.

How much should you charge for a talk? This the question Alyssa Zajdel has been trying to navigate recently as she was invited to speak at small, local organizations and a larger college group. As a graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, she's confident with her 1:1 pricing and the financial management of her solo practice. However, getting invited to speak on stage to a bigger crowd requires an entirely different math equation and goals conversation. Linzy coaches Alyssa through aligning her service offerings with her personal passions, business goals, and value delivery to arrive at some price options, based on the audience she'll be speaking to. They talk through establishing a starting point for her pricing, the topic, and what the modifiers might be. Linzy presents the concept of value-based pricing versus commodity-based pricing therapists are often used to.

(00:35:32) "Pricing is a conversation. So, it's only when we put out our pricing that we can get feedback on how close that is to what our ideal target audience is looking and able to pay." - Linzy Bonham Interested in working with Linzy?

Today, Eric is delighted to welcome Melva LaJoy Legrand as his guest. Melva is an icon in our industry, having built an impressive career that spans the US, France, and Europe, earning numerous recognitions along the way. In this episode, she shares her journey and discusses the honors she received within the industry, offering inspiration and insights for solopreneurs and small business owners. Her Journey Melva began her career as a teacher, but her creative spark kept pulling her in a different direction. A volunteering stint at a radio station one summer introduced her to concerts, festivals, and events, and she discovered her true calling. With the unwavering support of her parents, she stepped into event planning, starting at the bottom, and soaking up every lesson she learned along the way. With the help of her mentors, she managed to overcome her fear, learn about leadership, and shape her emotional intelligence. With perseverance, faith, and resilience, Melva built her own business, LaJoy Creative, weaving together her professional achievements and her personal trials.  Her Early Career Melva describes her early years as a "preparation season”, where she embraced every small task with humility, absorbing lessons from behind the scenes. That shaped her professional values, helping her decide the kind of leader she wanted to become. Mentorship and Growth Melva had several mentors who were all central to her development. One of her mentors encouraged her toward a leadership position at a major festival, creating a breakthrough moment where she discovered her own capacity to lead. This experience highlighted the importance of humility, teachability, and persistence in building effective mentor relationships. Building Confidence and Starting Over Melva restarted her business in 2019 during a deeply challenging period while caring for her ailing father. His encouragement gave her the courage to relaunch her business, and she also received additional confirmation from her mentors and unexpected encounters, fueling her belief that her business was her purpose. Overcoming Trauma and Anchoring in Faith As a survivor of abuse and trauma, Melva knows that therapy, faith, support groups, and resilience are an essential part of the healing process. Her faith and clarity about her values have shaped her leadership and business decisions, ensuring she only accepts work that aligns with her principles. Awards and Recognition Melva has received numerous honors, including recognition for organizing survivor-focused events, being named a Top Female Founder 500, and winning Silver for International Event Agency of the Year. Those awards affirm her parents' belief that the world would always make room for her. She also takes pride in recent collaborations, including honoring cultural icons at a major beauty and artistry event. Cultural Perspective: US vs France Living between the US and France has given Melva unique insight into the work-life balance. She contrasts the American culture of overwork with the French emphasis on rest and leisure. While she acknowledges higher US salaries, she credits her best creative breakthroughs to the mental clarity she gained during her time abroad.

You'll hear how past experiences, identity “totems,” and cultural conditioning quietly erode our confidence, and why fear, vulnerability, and inherited stories often dictate where we doubt ourselves most. More importantly, Kris shows you how to begin repairing that trust—through awareness, reframing, and practice—so you can finally stop second-guessing and start standing fully in the leader you already are. Here's what we explore in this episode: The surprising gap between visionary trust and day-to-day confidence The different domains of self-trust—and where women most often stumble How identity, environment, and old narratives shape what you believe about yourself Why it feels safer to trust money or process than people or intuition Practical ways to build competence and leverage your strengths to close the gaps This episode calls you to stop treating self-trust like a mystery and start treating it like a skill. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to start believing yourself again. Contact Information and Recommended Resources Your journey starts with clarity.

You've already done impossible things. So why are you doubting your next mountain when you've outrun the odds more times than you can count? April challenges listeners to stop underestimating themselves by revisiting their own “4-minute miles.” Just as Roger Bannister shattered the barrier once thought impossible, you too have overcome odds that most people never thought you could. April dives deep into reframing past wins as fuel for future breakthroughs—and shows you how to apply this mindset shift to the mountain in front of you now. Key Takeaways: The Bannister Effect: Once Bannister broke the 4-minute mile, dozens followed. Your wins create the same ripple effect for yourself and others. The Odds You've Already Beaten: From trauma, business hurdles, and personal setbacks—you've already outrun impossible odds. Don't forget your own track record. Rewrite Your Narrative: Stop letting doubt speak louder than proof. Your past wins are undeniable evidence of what's possible next. Challenge of the Day: Write down your personal “4-minute miles” and use them as ammunition when doubt creeps in. Action > Doubt: Momentum builds when you start—success stacks like dominoes. Quotes & Action Items: “You don't need to borrow belief from anyone else—you've got proof written all over your own life.” – April Garcia Action Step: Make your list of every 4-minute mile you've already broken (big or small). Keep it visible and use it as fuel for your next challenge. April reminds us that breaking barriers isn't about waiting until you feel ready—it's about trusting the evidence of your past victories. If Bannister could run what the world said was impossible, and if you've already outrun impossible odds, then your next 4-minute mile is not only possible—it's waiting for you. ______________________________________

In this episode, we break down what every parent should know about raising confident, capable kids while building an enduring bond that lasts through adolescence and beyond. We cover: How lighthouse parenting balances guidance, protection, and trust Why boundaries, connection, and listening are the foundation for resilience The 7 Cs of resilience and how to weave them into everyday life To connect with Dr. Ken Ginsburg check out all his resources at Fosteringresilience.com and  Parentandteen.com .
