Lauren Perna: Mental Health as a Superpower On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, Kelli chats with Lauren Perna. Her childhood anxiety was extreme and eventually segued into generalized anxiety, major depressive disorder, and other mental health issues. She has spent the majority of her life ashamed of her emotions and her diagnoses, but that all changed when she found her voice in mental health advocacy several years ago. Her goal is to help people understand that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of—millions of people deal with some form of mental illness, whether for a period in their life or throughout it. She is here to change the narrative that mental illness is anything but a superpower especially when you're an entrepreneur. Most importantly, she wants people that are suffering to know they are not alone. If she had known how many people were like her when she was younger, maybe she would've sought help or shared her story much sooner. Lauren Perna is the CEO and Lead Writer of Lauren Perna Communications, a New England-based firm that helps clients tell their story through content strategy and copywriting. Clients include life sciences companies, healthcare organizations, and other game-changers, all united by their passion for improving lives. Lauren is also a fierce advocate for mental health awareness and care. She is an award-winning community leader, recognized for her work as part of the Women's Business League Neponset Valley Chapter. She is also the Chapter Leader and Founding Member of the Chronic Boss Collective, and she's an elected Town Meeting Member. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Fordham University, and she holds a certificate in Digital Marketing from Columbia University/Emeritus.

If Agile is a “Copernican revolution in management,” as Ed Denning suggests, is it also a “Copernican revolution in leadership? That question spawns more questions before we can answer it meaningfully. Is management (the quality of managing) different in leadership (the quality of leading)? Are managers (people who manage) also leaders (people who lead)? Who are the managers (which people manage)? Who are the leaders (which people lead)?In this workshop, we'll address how to begin answering these questions for yourself, by introducing participants to “leadership models” and “how to build yours.” The session will be practical because we learn by doing; it will be interactive because we learn faster when interacting (doing) with others. The session will be thought-provoking because only you can develop a leadership model that's your own.The first learning objective will be focused on revealing and reflecting back to you on what your assumptions and understandings of leadership might be. Some of these assumptions may be unconscious, based on biases, or both. This section will be interactive using real-time questions to solicit data and feedback to help open our thinking about leadership. At the end of this section, participants will have tools to reflect on their leadership assumptions and some of those assumptions explored and declared.The second learning objective will be focused on how we traditionally study and teach leadership, and why those established practices make no sense in the Agile/Lean organization. This section will be a short lecture, using a statistical model to expose the limited utility of our traditional approaches to understanding and developing leadership in the organization. At the end of this session, participants will have some tools for beginning to tease out what they think “leadership” is, what is “good” leadership, what is “bad” leadership, and who the leaders are in their organization – as well as some references to continue this reflection going forward.The third section will introduce leadership as a systems model, including a meta-model for defining and improving that model. This section will involve an interactive group breakout exercise. At the end of this session, participants will have a good start on their unique leadership model to help them “show up with leadership in the moment” or perhaps not – because the task at have may fall outside the boundary of our leadership system.Speaker: Christopher CurleyAn ICE-CE, Chapter Leader ("People Manager") at a global financial institution serving a team of Agile Coaches, a graduate of the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State, with degrees in political science and history, and a student of leadership for the past thirty years (James MacGreggor Burner, Barbara Kellerman, Ahmed Sidky, Bela Banathy, Chris Argyris, et al.)

What exactly is Conscious Capitalism? It's a way of looking at business responsibly, ethically, and mindfully. It's a global movement that redefines how we look at business and asks us to look at not just shareholder value, but STAKEHOLDER value. Here's a bit from the Conscious Capitalism Credo:We believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity.Today, I talk with Frank Smith. Frank is the founder of Mosaic Personnel, a recruiting firm in Oklahoma City but he's also a leadership trainer and the leader of Conscious Capitalism's Oklahoma City chapter. Frank shares the definition of Conscious Capitalism and its four core tenets - and you won't be surprised to learn how empathy fits in nicely when it comes to leadership and culture. We discuss the relationship between recruiting and culture development, and some ways that companies big and small are creating intentional business cultures rooted in conscious capitalism.  Key Takeaways:Even if someone has the same credentials, they may not fit at different companies. Conscious Capitalism is about elevating life through work, both internally and externally within an organization. Younger generations want to feel like they are making an impact in the world. Conscious Capitalism resonates with them as it gives them an environment where they can feel seen and heard and know they are making a difference. Curiosity is an underrated skill. It is the number one trait of empathetic people. "If, as leaders, we do this the right way, we actually are a force for good in the world, and not somebody that's creating more and more of the problems in the world." —  Frank Smith About Frank Smith:Founder, Mosaic Personnel and Chapter Leader, Conscious CapitalismFrank has been a business owner for 30 years in various industries. He is the founder of Mosaic Personnel and the leader of the Oklahoma City chapter of Conscious Capitalism. During this time his real passion was creating a workplace people want to come to work at. Whether Manufacturing, Retail, Distribution or Professional Services the same rules apply to accomplish that. Frank spends his time as a trainer and executive coach to help people create Intentional Culture in the workplace. Frank has been married for 33 years and when he isn't working, he enjoys traveling, golf and car racing. Connect with Frank Smith:  Mosaic Personnel: https://mosaicpersonnel.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/frank-smith-5b74795Driving Happiness at Work: https://drivinghappinessatwork.com/ Other References Mentioned:Conscious Capitalism - Global Organization: https://www.consciouscapitalism.org/Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business by John MackeyFirms of Endearment by Raj SisodiaThe Motive: Why So Many Leaders Abdicate Their Most Important Responsibilities By Patrick Lencioni  Don't forget to download your free guide!

Michael (Mike) was born and raised in San Jose CA. Prior to receiving his Master's Degree in Speech Pathology, he served in the US Navy for 24 years. Although he has been retired for 10 years now, he still remembers that part of his life just like it was yesterday. Mike has two grown children and has been married to his wife Teresa for 28 years. They currently live in the greater area of Sacramento CA.   Like a lot of people who stutter, he spent numerous years receiving speech therapy as a child. He remembers his mother taking him to Dr. Greenleaf's private practice, where he would introduce puzzles to him. Back then he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, other than solving various types of puzzles. Now thinking back, he says that the puzzles were meant to be a motivator to get him to talk… but he just solved the puzzles like he was asked. Mike says, his mother quit taking him there just before he started Kindergarten. Mike recalls being in the third grade and the class having to split up into reading and math circles. This was when he noticed he did not communicate in the same manner as his other classmates, as he was the only one who stuttered. Mike started speech therapy once again and continued to receive speech therapy from the public schools until the 7th grade. He said, he finally spoke to his mother and said he wanted to stop. He said was tired of having to go to the special education classroom (which was smaller than a broom closet) and he was fed up with reading catchy phrases over and over, “I guess my SLP felt good about her treatment procedures, knowing I was speaking fluently during her activities.” Another reason was all about the stigma, the stigma of being lessor than his peers, even though he knew he was not! Mike first heard about the NSP (before it was called the NSA) back in 1986; however, it took him over a decade to get to a chapter meeting. He recalls transferring from sea duty to shore duty in Washington state and had read about the Seattle Conference. He said, he signed-up, even showed up, but did not have the courage to walk in. He said, he just sat in the lobby for about 2 hours and watched person after person walk by. Fear, shame, and quilt are powerful! He eventually walked back to his car are drove home. Later that Fall he did attend his first NSA meeting in Seattle, which he later became Chapter Leader of. Being a Navy man, he was transferred a lot. Once he retired and settled in Sacramento, he joined their chapter and has now been Sacramento's Chapter Leader for 10 years. He is also the Southwest Regional Coordinator for Adults and Family programs and has been a Stutter Social Host for over four years. Mike was asked what he would tell the younger him. He said, not much gets in his way as an adult… While serving in the Navy, he was a shipboard Damage Control and Engineering Team trainer, a Fire Marshal, a facilitator, led 100+ people… meaning he had to talk a lot. He has given numerous interviews to local newspapers, been interviewed on TV, and was asked to be the commencement speaker when he graduated with his master's degree in Speech Pathology. Just prior to giving his commencement speech, he was interviewed by the local NPR station in Sacramento. He said, he was asked why he would agree to give a commencement speech in front of about 10,000 people, knowing he would stutter. He simply said, “they are giving me 2 minutes (which extended to nearly 3 minutes) to bring awareness to stuttering, it was an opportunity that I could not pass up.” As far as telling the younger me something: Don't worry about teasing, don't worry about bullies, don't worry about making phone calls, don't worry about going through the drive-thru, don't worry about what other people might think or what you might perceive them to think about you! Just be yourself, and at the end of the day, let being yourself be enough. Sure, there will be shame and fear, but you will eventually forge them into purpose, and purpose is why we are here! Mike is a tattoo enthusiast (total number, unknown), likes relaxing outdoors, likes hikes, and enjoys riding his mountain bike when the weather is nice.   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00-04:22: Intro, why Mike is a "superhero" SLP and lessons from the school of life 04:23-12:43: The path of life, growing up with a stutter, the anxiety, speech therapy, reading books and feeling, "I'm not stupid!" 12:44-18:39: Middle school, rolling in poison oak and other ways to hide and avoid the fear of speech; using fists to fix people who make fun 18:40-20:34: 7th grade, the courage to tell my mom, "No more of this speech therapy" and how she responded. 20:35-25:09: Dealing with my speech on my own.

Barriers to entering the DevSecOps community are becoming much weaker thanks to its provision of free resources and through the work of diversity activists too. Much praise can be given to Vandana Verma in this regard, who we were lucky to have as our guest on the show today. Vandana is an experienced application security practitioner, currently working at IBM's India software labs as a Security Solutions Architect. She's OWASP Bangalore's Chapter Leader, OWASP's Women in AppSec lead, as well as an advocate for WoSEC, Infosec Girls and Women in Cyber Security. In today's discussion, we hear about Vandana's journey into the DevSec and Cloud security world from her early days as a developer. Vandana speaks about the scope of AppSec and Cloud security, weighing in on the ‘left shift', the app in the context of the cloud, and different focus areas that she implements in her training sessions. We hear about the burgeoning tech scene in Bangalore, how helpful the community is and all the free resources to be found at the OWASP Seaside conferences. Vandana also speaks about her journey into diversity activism, sharing about the many workshops and keynote presentations she gives globally, and the benefits her broad understanding of diversity can give to security teams. For some great tips on how to think about Cloud vs AppSec, as well as how teams with broad backgrounds can benefit security work, make sure to listen in on today's show. Show notes and transcript can be found here

Ryzer explains, "One of our main focuses is physically patrolling our streets, deterring crime, being the eyes and ears for our police, helping and watching over those in need, as well as mentoring and being positive role models for our youth." Members go through a 12-15 week training which focuses on learning The History of The Guardian Angels, First Aid/CPR/AED certification, PATROL Training, Physiological communications training, Gang Awareness and Self Defense. Many children look up to them and call themselves 'Junior Guardian Angels.' They are closely involved with 'The Easton Block Watch.' Ryzer and Gypsy are on the Board as well as Sector Coordinators for the West Ward, The Weed & Seed summer nights program, and this year started a Summer Program Called 'Angels in the Park.' They're also involved in many other social activities, after school programs and in awarding scholarships. Besides patrolling local area streets, the Chapter has worked in many other communities and does Missing Persons Search and Recovery missions. Ryzer writes, "We search for runaways, missing kids and adults. With boots to the ground we dare to care and keep things safe beyond the streets."
