Phyllis Newhouse has quite the resume. She is the first African American woman to lead a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), the first woman ever to win the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of the Year award in the technology category, she's on the board of the Women's Presidents Organization and is a pioneer in business. She is a retired senior military officer, a CEO, an investor and serial entrepreneur. Phyllis also happens to be a “frientor” to Amy Jo (a friend and mentor). Phyllis is changing the game and rewriting the business play book, especially for women. One way she does this is with “ROCs,” which stands for Resources, Opportunities and Connections. Phyllis generously gives these out all day every day. Amy Jo has personally been a beneficiary, as Phyllis has opened many doors for her. In this wide-ranging conversation, Amy Jo and Phyllis talk about business, their relationship with money, how Phyllis looks at wealth versus revenue, and how Phyllis' power always enters the room before she does. Phyllis also shares the impactful story about how she met Serena Williams and what has happened after that meeting. We could all take a page from this playbook. Phyllis supports women and fosters community so well. She recently just launched a program called Shoulder Up To Lead where she shares her 11 Principles of Leadership.

While the Kahn Center is a cardiac clinic, Dr. Kahn deals with issues throughout the body as many conditions produce a network of diseases.   One example is the very common condition called NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NASH).   A new term is MAFLD for metabolic associated FLD to stress the whole-body connection.   This week the focus is on detecting NAFLD, searching for heart disease risk in those with it, and reversing it with data and supplements. Weight loss and the fasting-mimicking diet (PROLON) are also of use. 

Char Harryman faced a life-limiting diagnosis with extraordinary courage and faith, and she used the time she was given to be a gift to others. On Easter Sunday back in 1995, Char suffered a grand mal seizure. And then another. And another. This eventually led to numerous tests where doctors discovered a golf ball-sized malignant tumour on her brain.  Doctors gave Char two years to live, but God had other plans. She lived 24 more years and didn't waste any time touching the lives of thousands before she passed away in 2019. Today on Connections, Steve  shares Char's amazing story and how she impacted lives around the world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Regardless of your position in your organization, you are in sales.  As a representative of your company's brand and a customer service representative in projects and processes, you are in sales and relationship management. In this episode of The Forward Thinking podcast, host Stephanie Barton, VP Marketing and Communications, FCCS at FCCS is joined by Aaron Tigert, Regional Vice President of Core Markets, Compeer Financial.  Aaron will also be a featured speaker at the upcoming Learning Conference in San Antonio and at this fall's Forum for Ag Lending. Together they discuss a new podcast topic — relationship management and sales.  Together they highlight the importance of building the networking and sales relationships that every one of us have with both coworkers and clients.    Episode Insights Include:   Strengthening new and existing client relationships First consider the business model you are aiming to achieve.  Both Covid-19 and the current economic environment have had a significant impact on perceived competitive advantages.  Commit to having a desire to meet clients where they're at and help them accomplish their goals.  Identify the value that you are offering your clients beyond being a low-cost provider.  Trust is the key to building strong relationships with every client.    Building and achieving trust Trustworthiness is the combination of credibility, reliability and intimacy.  Achieving trust is an on-going process that must be addressed in every interaction with clients.  Being considered trustworthy by your clients should be behind your ‘why' of all that you do.  Understand the ways that you might undermine your clients trust in you.  Your personal brand and your organization's brand both play into your trustworthiness.    Making connections with clients on their level  Repeated positive experiences are key to making meaningful client connections.  The process of building relationships will take an extended amount of time.  Providing value to your client through intellectual property is essential.  Your credibility will increase as you continually provide excellent value to your clients.  Identify the role that each step of the sales funnel plays in enhancing client relationships.  Seek the answers to questions about your clients that will help you understand their goals.    Differences between networking and prospecting If you are a relationships manager and expected to bring in new clients, you need to take time to reflect on your previous year and the development of your business line.  Your mindset matters- whether you are networking or prospecting, how are you developing your relationships and communication skills?    How to increase sales without seeming ‘salesy' Begin by grounding yourself in the problem that you are solving for your client.  Always keep sales in mind, but don't start every conversation with product specific pricing.  Have 3 pieces of insight ready to share with clients at all times.  Ask open-ended questions about your clients current concerns.  Connect the dots between your product offerings and what's happening on the farm.    This podcast is powered by FCCS.

After years of running her own ventures, Maya Lynn Harris realized that her greatest passion was to help women monetize their skills and talents. As a business design strategist, Maya teaches women of color how to develop customer-centric, sustainable businesses. However, she also recognized the need for entrepreneurs like herself to have a safe space to grow their businesses as a community. So, she founded W.O.M.B. (Woman-Owned Minority Business), a business networking and development organization committed to empowering women entrepreneurs of color through establishing purposeful connections and profitable collaborations to create lasting change in their communities. Maya shares the importance of why Women Entrepreneurs should make purposeul connections & collaborations.

Expounding on the theme of ‘creating your own good luck' discussed in a recent episode, today my guest Jen Nash and I talk about how the things that so many of us want – career success, financial security, an exciting life, or just ‘getting lucky' – may be achieved simply by the power of connection. If, like me, you don't like “networking,” this enlightening conversation provides a helpful alternative. By looking at connection-building as a series of ordinary, everyday occurrences consisting of tiny connections – instead of as onerous “networking” activities – connecting with others to achieve big outcomes becomes unintimidating…and even fun!   Jen Nash helps us take a deeper look at how anyone can create deeper more powerful connections in modern life, one interaction at a time. She is an executive coach, facilitator, speaker, and author of The Big Power of Tiny Connections: How Small Interactions Spark Awesome Outcomes. Trained in the field of communication, Nash has a powerful grasp on what is required to turn a brush of fate into a life changing event. When she's not empowering others to live a more connective life, Nash lives between New York City or Los Angeles or San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.     And be sure to subscribe to The Self-Employed Life in Apple Podcasts or follow us on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss an episode.

Today we discuss the top relationship problems that affect couples the most. We look at ways in which these problems manifest and at possible ways of addressing them. We discuss 10 items plus one bonus one. 1. Arguments: disagreements in any relationship are entirely to be expected. However, if the relationship is dominated by endless and repetitive arguments, then you may want to stop and consider what the typical contentious issues are in your relationship and to also think about the underlying causes. We are currently developing a mini course on effective arguing. Watch this space. -2. Lack of connection: When you never find time to sit down and find out about your partner's experiences, then there is little engagement with your partner, the relationship will be suffering in the long run. Connections needs to be paid attention to and actively nurtured. -3. Stress: Too much stress is the enemy of connection. When we are stressed we are too wrapped up in our own 'survival' and therefore cannot connect well with others. If chronically stressed then there won't be much room to empathise and understand your partner. -4. Boredom: Many couples struggle to move on from the exciting hay days of the honeymoon period in their relationship. You start to see your partner in a more realistic light and might find it difficult to adjust to the more mundane daily routine of your life together. -5. Children: As lovely as they are, children are frequently a stressor in relationships because of different views that partner's have of parenting and the competing demands of childcare, work and time for your partner. Couples with children often play out old relationship and family patterns from their family of origin which need to be brought into awareness. -6. The wider family: You may struggle to get on with your partner's parents or siblings, finding them too interfering for example and/or your partner may not be keen on yours. The relationship with partners' wider family can frequently cause very serious difficulties in relationships. - 7. Trauma: When one or both partner's have experienced relational or developmental trauma in their lives, this is likely to impact the current relationship (unless the trauma has largely been worked through). - 8. Fidelity: If one or both partners have cheated and the understanding is that you are in a relationship where this is not acceptable, you will need to make a decision whether your relationship can survive this breach of trust or whether it's unforgivable. Affairs cause serious hurt and may take a long time to get over. Most affairs don't just happen spontaneously; if you decide to stay together there will need to be understanding on both sides whether there were any underlying issues that need addressing in order to move forward. -9. Communication: Without the ability to talk effectively to each other, you are likely to struggle in your relationship in addressing challenges you face. A key to successful communication is the capacity to listen. -10. Sex: A frequent difficulty for couples is the disparate desires for sexual contact in couples; one partner may want more contact, the other less. Many couples have relationships where sex died a long time ago. Often it is too painful and scary to address this topic openly and the couple remain silent for year. Desire and sexual contact can be re-established with exercises such as Sensate Focus. -11. Money: Couples get into difficulties over money if they money has a very different symbolic value for each partner. Money may stand for security or control for example, depending on your associations with it. - To build a strong, long lasting and satisfying relationship, sign up for our course The Relationship Maze, where we explore all of the above topics in much more detail.

Business mindset mentor Anna Furu joins me on this episode of the podcast! This is extra special for me because I've coached Anna and been a big part of her business journey. I'm super proud of her - and she shares how she's reached the six-figure earnings mark in four years, among other useful tidbits about her journey. Anna also gets into how she uses DMs as a tool to reach more people and potential ideal clients. She's received a lot of pushback on this process when she first brings it up, but it's not spamming people or cold pitching them at all. It's actually quite the opposite! She fully explains how you can use this process, too, in this episode. Here's exactly what we chat about in the episode: Anna's Business Journey Discovering Her Quirkiness Growing Her Business Through DMs Being Genuine in DMs Transitioning the Conversation I hope that this conversation with Anna opens your eyes to the fact that using DMs as a way to forge genuine connections with potential dream clients is very much to your advantage - and it's totally possible!
