Is your calendar telling the truth about your workload — or are you silently drowning in invisible tasks? My Ideal Weekly Schedule Guide Now  https://stan.store/thatcareercoach/p/get-my-ideal-weekly-schedule-guide-now    Most professionals plan their day as if eight hours equals eight productive hours.

"If it doesn't fit in the hours of the day, you are objectively trying to do too much. And that's just the end of it." In this episode: How to measure your real capacity (hint: your calendar is lying to you) Why an eight-hour workday rarely holds eight productive hours How to tell your boss you have too much work — without looking incapable The meeting audit that frees up hours of focus time every week Why saying no, backed by data, is leadership — not weakness What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

What if we've been asking the wrong question?For years we've asked:• Who controls the world?• Who are the powerful bloodlines?• Who really pulls the strings?But what if the greatest inheritance isn't blood...What if it's belief?In this fascinating Coffee Chat, Brice  @EsotericAtlanta   and I explore a side of the bloodline conversation that almost nobody is talking about.What if the greatest power passed down through generations isn't DNA... but programming?The beliefs we're taught.The identities we inherit.The stories we never question.Because perhaps the real power isn't in the bloodline...It's in the beliefs that bloodline passes on.And if that's true...What beliefs are shaping your life today?Together we explore:✅ Are powerful families shaped more by blood... or by belief? ✅ Why identity often matters more than genetics ✅ How subconscious programming influences every decision we make ✅ Why awareness alone doesn't create transformation ✅ What elite athletes, entrepreneurs and successful families can teach us ✅ How inherited beliefs shape our health, wealth, confidence and freedom ✅ Why the most important bloodline to investigate may be your ownThis isn't about fear.It's about taking our power back.The greatest freedom comes when we stop asking who's controlling the world......and start understanding what's been controlling us.If you're ready to uncover the subconscious programmes shaping your life, reach out. I'd love to help.I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.What's the biggest belief you've inherited that no longer serves you?————————————————Behavioural Coaching – Freedom From Self-Sabotage:https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/————————————————Connect with Brice 

“Connection is the foundation of effective leadership.” -Dr. Rosalind Cohen In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Dr. Rosalind Cohen to explore why authentic human connection is the foundation of effective leadership. In a world filled with engagement surveys, Dr. Roz makes the case that what people truly want at work is something much simpler: to feel seen, valued, and like they belong. If you've ever wondered why some workplace cultures thrive while others struggle, this conversation is for you. Using research and practical examples, Dr. Roz shares how leaders can create radically connected cultures where people feel safe, included, and inspired to do their best work. Inside This Episode: Engagement and Belonging Are Not the Same Thing: Dr. Roz unpacks the critical difference between employee engagement and belonging, explaining why participation alone isn't enough. True belonging happens when people genuinely feel seen, valued, and included. Why Perks Can't Replace Connection: Free snacks, flexible work policies, and office perks have their place—but they cannot substitute for authentic relationships. Dr. Roz explores why meaningful conversations remain the heart of strong workplace culture. Small Moments Create Big Culture Shifts: Culture isn't built during annual retreats alone. Dr. Roz shares how simple practices like coffee chats, intentional check-ins, and curiosity-driven conversations can strengthen trust and connection every day. Inclusive Leadership Is Built Through Behavior: Creating a connected culture requires more than mission statements and slogans. Dr. Roz discusses the leadership behaviors that foster psychological safety, including curiosity, thoughtful responses, and a "yes, and" mindset. Belonging Is a Leadership Strategy: Dr. Roz explains how intentional rituals, leadership habits, and human-centered communication create stronger teams and higher-performing organizations. What to Do Now: Schedule One Connection Conversation: Reach out to a colleague for a coffee chat or informal check-in with no agenda other than getting to know them better. Create a Ritual of Belonging: Introduce a simple team ritual, such as personal check-ins or moments of appreciation, to strengthen connection and trust. Remember That Culture Happens in Small Moments: Every interaction is an opportunity to build belonging. Notice how the everyday conversations you have shape the culture around you. About the Guest Dr. Rosalind Cohen is an organizational psychologist, speaker, researcher, and workplace culture strategist dedicated to helping organizations build more inclusive, connected, and human-centered workplaces. Dr. Roz specializes in employee belonging, engagement, and leadership development, partnering with leaders and organizations to create cultures where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. Through her research, consulting, and thought leadership, she challenges organizations to move beyond surface-level engagement efforts and intentionally cultivate cultures rooted in trust, inclusion, and authentic connection.

You can love someone and still outgrow the version of yourself that exists around them.  And nobody warns you about this part of changing your life.  We talk about the habits you'll have to change, the risks you'll have to take, the courage it takes to walk away from something familiar.  We don't talk nearly enough about what happens when the people you love are still connected to the person you used to be.  This episode is about friendship, growth, and the strange, sometimes painful experience of realizing that a relationship that once fit your life may not fit the life you're building now.  Because every room has an invisible definition of what's normal.  What you're allowed to want. What feels possible. What seems too ambitious, too risky, too expensive, or simply not like you.  And sometimes, all it takes is getting close to one woman who is already doing the thing you thought was impossible.  She doesn't have to coach you. She doesn't have to give you a ten-step plan.  Sometimes another woman gives you evidence.  In this episode, we're talking about:  What it actually means to outgrow people  Why the people you love may still be relating to who you used to be  How the people around you shape what feels normal and possible  Why outgrowing a room isn't the same as abandoning the people in it  Why courage, desire and aliveness is contagious  Powerful questions to audit the spaces you're spending time in  Why I created The Society and why it's the antidote to being stuck  This isn't about deciding your old friends aren't 'good enough' anymore  It's about recognizing that you may need people in your life who have evidence of where you're going, not only memories of where you've been.  And maybe the question isn't simply, 'Who have I outgrown?'  Maybe it's, 'Who do I become when I'm around the people in my life?'  You're invited to The Society's Opening Weekend  From July 24-26, we're gathering for three live experiences:  Happy Hour, Coffee Chat, and Sparkle Party.  Come to one. Come to all three. Opening Weekend is completely free.  SAVE YOUR SEAT HERE  Your next chapter may begin with one conversation, one new room, or one woman who makes you realize that the thing you want isn't nearly as impossible as you thought.  Go find her....or maybe, come find us.    

I worked 24/7 thinking it would get me promoted. It did the opposite. Here's how slowing down made leadership finally notice me — and how you can do the same. High performers are often the worst at one thing: rest. We wear busy like a badge of honor, convinced that constant productivity is the path to career growth. But here's what nobody tells you — career progression requires strategic thinking, vision, and influence. When you're buried in tasks, you have zero space for any of it. In this episode, I share exactly how I went from working around the clock to creating the space that got me noticed as a leader  no burnout, no career sacrifice.

 Kendall Berg and Katy Culver challenge the job title identity trap that keeps high performers tied to outdated roles, titles, and versions of success. If your career identity is built around overworking, control, weak boundaries, or proving your value through corporate achievement, professional growth starts to feel harder than it needs to. Katy explains how future self work and the "I'm the type of person who…" framework can create a real identity shift before your next big move. This episode is for anyone ready to separate who they are from what they do, make stronger career decisions, and grow into the career, business, and life they actually want. What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

We've never had access to more information than we do today.Despite this, many people feel more anxious, more divided and more confused than ever before.So where's the line between learning and simply consuming?Between healthy curiosity and information overload?Between discernment and dependency?In this Coffee Chat, Brice and I explore this important question:When does information stop making us wiser... and start controlling us?We discuss:• Why knowledge without implementation changes nothing• How to recognise when information has become entertainment• The danger of outsourcing your critical thinking• Why real freedom comes from asking better questions, not blindly following better gurus• How to develop discernment in an age of information overloadOur goal isn't to tell you what to think.It's to encourage you to think more deeply, question more honestly and ultimately become more self-governing.If this conversation resonates, we'd love to hear from you.When was your biggest "Oh wow... I really believed that?" moment?Share it in the comments.————————————————Connect with Brice 

The story was always there. It just took the right storytellers to find it. That's the central lesson of Formula 1: Drive to Survive, and it's the same one B2B marketers keep missing. Michael Londgren, CMO at Responsive, joins us to unpack why Drive to Survive is one of the best modern case studies in brand building, and what it teaches us about storytelling, category creation, and why the best product doesn't always win. Together, we dig into why optimizing for serendipity beats optimizing for control, why nobody actually cares about your product features, and why treating marketing as a favor to your team might be the most expensive executive mistake of all. About our guest, Michael Londgren Michael Londgren is CMO at Responsive, the category leader in strategic response management - helping companies win more business with faster, trusted responses to RFPs, security questionnaires, and due diligence requests. He joined the company when it was still known as RFPIO and helped lead its rebrand and category creation strategy. Before that, he held senior marketing roles at DocuSign and Ariba. He's also a committed McLaren fan and a reluctant F1 convert who has since gone fully down the rabbit hole. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Formula 1: Drive to Survive The story was always there — your job is to find it. F1 racing existed for decades before Drive to Survive. The rivalries, the drama, the characters - none of it was invented. What changed was that someone decided to actually tell the story. Ian's point is direct: "In B2B, we do the same exact thing where we just make excuses for ourselves about how boring we are. It's not boring to the people whose life's work it is." Michael connects it to the 15,000 SaaS solutions all competing for a slot in a company's stack of roughly 30: "If you're a standard B2B marketer doing the standard B2B things in a sea of 15,000 competitors, you're not gonna win." The brands that break through aren't the ones with the best features - they're the ones who found a human story worth telling. Don't brief your way to authenticity. Go find the story. Optimize for serendipity, not control. When Drive to Survive's producers started filming, they didn't know what the show would look like. They didn't know if teams would open up. They didn't know what rivalries would emerge. Season 1 was imperfect, messy, and completely riveting. Ian draws the line to B2B: "What people do is they don't do that, because they want to optimize for control. Whereas optimizing for serendipity is a far better strategy." B2B marketing teams script every word, engineer every answer, and then wonder why nobody engages. Michael connects it to something he learned from Keith Krach, co-founder of Ariba: "Luck is when opportunity meets preparation." The grind is still required — you just can't design the outcome. Sometimes the thing that makes the show is the character you didn't plan on finding. Nobody cares about your product. They care about value. Michael puts it plainly: "Let's be honest, nobody cares about the product. They don't." Drive to Survive runs eight seasons and barely covers how the cars actually work. The engineering matters enormously. But it's not the story. The story is the drivers, the rivalries, the decisions, and what it costs to win. Michael connects it directly to Responsive's rebrand from RFPIO: "RFPIO is very product focused. Responsive is a higher value, more interesting concept. Everyone wants to be responsive. That's an aspiration." The lesson for any B2B brand: lead with what the value unlocks, back it with customer voices, and let the product prove itself rather than trying to prove it upfront. Marketing is a strategic imperative, not a favor. Ian heard something on a recent shoot that stuck with him: a senior executive said, "Anything to help marketing." It sounds generous. It's actually the wrong frame entirely. "You're not helping marketing," Ian says. "You're doing the thing that is strategically imperative for our business." He identifies three people any audience most wants to hear from: the CEO (who sets the vision), customers (who validate the value), and anyone inside the organization who happens to be genuinely interesting. Michael adds the Responsive example - a team member who started small-group Coffee Chats with customers, grew them to hundreds of regulars, and became a mini-celebrity in their community: "Identifying who really resonates and putting investment behind that person. That's it." "The future of marketing is customer success — how customers are getting value — and bringing that to life authentically. Back to Drive to Survive: authentic human storytelling within the context of high-stakes racing. That combination is a winning combination." — Michael Londgren Time Stamps [1:33] Meet Michael Londgren, CMO at Responsive [2:25] Why Formula 1: Drive to Survive?

He explains how he initially had an individual contributor mindset and the need to change it. Mathooshan discusses the importance of explaining the "why" behind tasks and providing guidance.

There is a very loud version of entrepreneurship online right now: quit the job, burn the safety net, go all in, and figure it out later. I get the appeal. I also think that advice can get expensive very quickly, especially when the business has not been validated yet. Mike Shannon joins me to talk about the much messier, smarter side of starting a business. Mike has built multiple companies, appeared on Shark Tank, worked in AI, and wrote Sweaty Equity, a book about the unglamorous middle of entrepreneurship. His story is not the polished founder myth. It is Shark Tank one day, Chicago Bulls laundry room the next, then years of pivots, investor pressure, customer discovery, and learning how to actually build something that works. If you are a corporate professional, side hustler, first-time founder, or future entrepreneur wondering whether you should quit your job to start a business, this conversation is your reality check. We talk about why keeping your day job can create runway, why "build the thing, sell the thing" matters more than startup hype, and how to use messy action without blowing up your career stability. Inside this episode • Why quitting your job too early can create unnecessary founder pressure • How Mike Shannon went from Shark Tank with Mark Cuban to the Chicago Bulls laundry room • Why business validation matters more than investor validation • The simple startup framework: build the thing, sell the thing • How customer discovery helps you avoid forcing the wrong idea into the market • What Sweaty Equity reveals about the messy middle of entrepreneurship What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

What if success isn't the problem — it's that you've outgrown it? Lauren Kerr introduces the concept of "unbecoming": shedding who you were to step into who you're becoming — without burning out in the process. Lauren Kerr is a bestselling author and high-performance coach who helps high-achieving women lead with clarity, recover from burnout, and redefine success — without blowing everything up to do it. If you've hit every goal and still feel like something's off, this is the episode that names what you've been feeling. What we get into: → What "unbecoming" actually means — and why it's not about starting over → The silent handbrake keeping ambitious women stuck in a version of success they've outgrown → Why the drive that built your career may now be working against you → What feminine leadership looks like in practice (empathy isn't a weakness) → The "feather or the truck" — why ignoring small intuitive nudges leads to bigger crises → Time audits, Parkinson's Law, and how to design a week that actually fits your life → Lauren's personal goal this year: just enjoying motherhood (and why that had to be a written goal) What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

Hiring managers decide who they want within the first five minutes of an interview. If your answer to "tell me about yourself" sounds like everyone else's, you are already behind. In this episode, I break down how to lead with your personal brand, handle small talk strategically, and explain your experience in a way hiring managers actually remember — so you stop losing offers to people with the same qualifications. In this episode: personal branding in interviews · how to answer tell me about yourself · interview communication strategy · how to talk about your accomplishments confidently What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

Dr. Matthew Lynch, author of "Flood and Fury," joins Ryan and Mike to discuss one of the most contested topics in scripture--the flood and war texts in the Old Testament.Lynch explains how violent biblical narratives—from the flood to Joshua's conquest of Jericho—are often stripped of their fuller context.The discussion delves into how both conservative and critical readers tend to oversimplify these texts. Through careful literary and historical analysis, Lynch demonstrates how the Old Testament reveals God's mercy while acknowledging persistent mysteries we must sit with rather than resolve neatly.Tune in for this honest conversation about reconciling biblical violence with faith.Learn more about Dr. Matthew Lynch here: https://www.regent-college.edu/faculty/lynch-matthew/CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 - Cold Open: Understanding Violence in Biblical Stories00:04:32 - Coffee Talk and Canadian Gas Prices00:06:55 - Coffee Chat and Faith Journey Begins00:09:03 - Faith, Bible, and Critical Questions00:13:05 - From Academic Study to Lay Audience00:15:36 - Understanding Violence and Complexity in Biblical Texts00:20:11 - Understanding Biblical Context Through Hebrew Worldview00:22:12 - Chronological Snobbery and Biblical Violence00:26:34 - The Hidden Costs of Solving Problems00:30:40 - Wrestling with Violence in Biblical Texts00:33:30 - Understanding God's Justice and Mercy in Scripture00:38:09 - God's Mercy Outweighs His Justice00:41:41 - Judicial Equivalence and Proportional Justice00:43:14 - Teaching Faith Through Unresolved Questions00:46:22 - Understanding Old Testament Violence Through Historical Context Hosted on Acast.

You're qualified. So why does it feel like no one notices? The problem usually isn't your experience. It's how you talk about it. In this episode, I sit down with career coach, Amazon best-selling author, and self-proclaimed "interview ologist" Nicolette Hemingway to unpack one of the most costly — and completely fixable — mistakes professionals make: assuming their work speaks for itself. Spoiler: it doesn't. And that belief alone could be what's standing between you and the job, promotion, or recognition you've already earned. Nicolette brings over 25 years of experience across every level of government, military service, and a career coaching practice built on one thing: helping talented people finally get seen. In this conversation, we go beyond generic interview advice and get into the real reasons qualified professionals get overlooked — and exactly what to do instead. What we cover: Why 98% of people fail interviews — and it has nothing to do with their resume How to tell your professional story in a way that makes hiring managers lean in The difference between listing tasks and communicating impact (and why it matters) Three questions that will completely change how you talk about your accomplishments What thank you emails actually signal to a hiring manager How to track your wins so you're never caught off guard in a review, interview, or promotion conversation Why staying in the background is quietly killing your career growth If you've ever walked out of an interview feeling like you didn't do yourself justice, or watched someone less qualified get the opportunity you deserved, this episode is for you. What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

Send us Fan MailMen get sponsored. Women get mentored. And even women leaders tend to sponsor men while mentoring other women, leaving high-performing women with plenty of advice and not nearly enough advocacy. In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton shares the one strategy women leaders can use this week to start closing the sponsorship gap, and it begins with a 15-minute coffee chat.If you are delivering strong results but still watching less-qualified peers get tapped for stretch projects and promotions, this 5-minute episode breaks down why sponsorship rarely starts with a formal ask and how to create the conditions for influential leaders to see your strategic value up close. What you'll learnWhy the sponsorship gap costs women leaders promotion opportunitiesThe difference between being mentored and being sponsored, and why both matterHow to identify the right person to invite for a coffee chatYour action stepPick one person, two or more levels above you, who has already noticed your work. Email Template:“Hi [Name], I really appreciated your feedback on [specific result they noticed].

Too many people wait until work becomes unbearable before they start looking, and that is how smart professionals end up making desperate career moves. I have seen it happen over and over again. A toxic boss, a role that stopped fitting, a project that drains you, and suddenly you are trying to escape fast instead of thinking clearly. A strong job search starts long before you hit that breaking point. I walk through how to define what actually matters to you, how to build your personal brand, how to identify target roles and target companies, and how to use networking and internal mobility to create better options. The goal is not just to get out. The goal is to make a smarter move. This is for anyone who knows something at work is off, but does not want to panic quit and end up in the same situation somewhere else. If you want a more strategic job search, a clearer career direction, and a better way to evaluate your next opportunity, start here. Inside this episode How to know you are waiting too long to start a job search Why your personal brand matters before you apply anywhere How to define your passion statements and unique value Better interview questions to test company culture and job fit Why networking is the most important part of a job search How internal mobility can help you leave a bad role faster What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

Qualified professionals are getting rejected for jobs they should absolutely be landing. That's why I wanted to chat with fellow career coach Irina Posan. We've both seen too many smart, ambitious professionals treat interviews like a memory test instead of a strategy exercise. Irina knows this world well as a former HR director and the host of the Career Cravings podcast. In our conversation, we get into why overpreparing can actually hurt your interview performance, how candidates lose clarity under pressure, and what it really takes to stand out in a crowded job market. We also talk about the mindset shifts that matter before you ever apply, including how to get clear on the right role, how to communicate your value without sounding rehearsed, and why hard work alone is not enough if you want to get promoted. Irina shares her Top Five Story Method for interview preparation, plus a powerful reminder that career growth often comes down to visibility, advocacy, and relationships. If you are job searching, preparing for interviews, or trying to position yourself for your next promotion, this is the kind of career advice that can change the way you approach your next move. In this episode, we discuss: • Why do qualified candidates still fail interviews? • How can I stand out in a competitive job market? • What is the best way to prepare for interview questions? • Why does overpreparing make interviews worse? • How do promotions really happen at work? What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?
