Podcasts about consultants

REAL-WORLD ROLES- If you've ever wondered how your life experience could become a coaching offer, this episode is about the Consultant Coach model- how you can blend wisdom, strategy, and mentorship into a sustainable business that helps others grow. I'll walk you through specific niche examples that combine listening and guiding with teaching and advising. Whether you're drawn to business, parenting, ministry, or purpose work, there's a way to build an offer that reflects your story and serves someone else's transformation. Key Takeaways: You don't have to choose between coach or consultant. Consultant Coaching allows you to guide and give, offering both support and strategy. Your experience is enough. You don't need a fancy title to help someone solve the problem you've already walked through. You can build a niche that fits your real life. Whether you're a ministry leader, homeschool mom, entrepreneur, or creative, your story already holds the seeds of your offer. Listener Challenge: Pick one niche that resonated with you most and write down why. What have you lived, learned, or led others through that could become part of your offer? Then ask yourself: Who needs what I now carry and what would it look like to serve them well?

In this episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Andy Crocker, author of The Unconditionals, to explore how five core values, unconditional love, gratitude, integrity, accountability, and endeavor, can transform how we face challenges and build resilience. Andy shares powerful insights and real-life stories that reveal how grounding yourself in these values can help you recover from failure faster, pivot with purpose, and live a life defined by meaning, not perfection. In this episode, you'll learn how to: See failure as a launchpad, not a dead end. When you stop viewing setbacks as defeat, you recover faster and grow wiser, equipped to seize new opportunities with greater clarity and courage. Define success on your own terms. Ditch the societal checklist. Pursuing fulfillment, not perfection, leads to greater joy, authenticity, and personal achievement. Pivot with purpose when life shifts. Unexpected turns are inevitable. A values-based mindset empowers you to adjust course with intention and rediscover meaning, even in the midst of change. Embrace imperfection as a path to progress. Mastery isn't about getting it right the first time—it's about learning, evolving, and moving forward without fear of failure.

In this episode of French Insider, Agathe Benoit, Chief Operating Officer and founding team member of Giftory, joins Sheppard Mullin attorneys Karl Buhler and Inès Briand to discuss the company's business model and the challenges of launching the “experience gifting” concept in the United States.   What We Discussed in This Episode: What is Giftory, what are its core offerings, and where does it operate? What motivated the company to expand into the corporate gifting and B2B market? What challenges have been faced in bringing the experience gifting concept to the U.S.? Given the concept of experience gifting is relatively unfamiliar in the U.S., how did you initially connect with providers, engage customers, and assemble a team? Does Giftory offer the same experiences across all locations, or do offerings vary by city and state? What criteria does the company use when deciding to partner with a provider? How does Giftory ensure a premium experience for both the gift giver and the recipient? What are the advantages of purchasing through Giftory, rather than directly from the provider? What key achievements and challenges stand out in the process of building and expanding the business? What advice would you offer others looking to launch a business in the United States?   About Agathe Benoit Before co-founding Giftory, Agathe Benoit served as Head of Seller Operations at Back Market, the global leader in refurbished technology. There, she led a team of 20, overseeing critical areas such as sales, seller engagement, support, communications, and partnerships.

Previously, she spent six years as a Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, advising clients on complex business challenges and strategic initiatives across multiple industries. Earlier in her career, Agathe served as Product/Marketing Manager at OMB Labs, Teaching Assistant at Columbia University, Part-time Consultant at PRODIGY NETWORK, and Visiting Student Researcher at the University of California. She also volunteered at ASS INDE ESPOIR. Agathe was educated at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand, specializing in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science, before earning an International Baccalaureate from the Centre International de Valbonne. She later attended École Polytechnique, where she earned an Engineering degree in Applied Mathematics. In 2012, she completed a Master of Science in Management Science and Engineering at Columbia University, in collaboration with Columbia Business School.   About Karl Buhler As an associate with the Corporate and Securities Practice Group and French Desk in Sheppard Mullin's New York Office, Karl Buhler focuses on domestic and cross-border transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and complex commercial agreements in industries such as technology, communications, life sciences, energy, defense and aerospace.

He then relocated to Paris, where he continued to focus on corporate transactions, but also expanded his expertise to international arbitrations and litigations arising from contracts and transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, joint venture, and infrastructure agreements. Karl moved to New York to further build his corporate experience in cross-border transactions and disputes at a U.S.-based firm, where he worked closely with French companies implanted in the United States.   About Inès Briand  Inès Briand is an associate in Sheppard Mullin's Corporate Practice Group and French Desk Team in the firm's Brussels office, where her practice primarily focuses on domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisition transactions (with special emphasis on operations involving French companies).

Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Brand Called You! In this episode, host Frits Bussemaker sits down with Mike Lipkin—a truly multifaceted personality: part-time academic, part-time consultant, and part-time bridge teacher. Mike shares his fascinating journey from graduating early at MIT, exploring both mathematics and chemistry, pivoting into academia, and ultimately finding his way onto Wall Street as a senior trader.But how does a passion for bridge—a game he learned as a child from his mother—intersect with the world of finance? Mike discusses the serendipitous moment when his love for this strategic game opened doors on Wall Street, and how the skills required for competitive bridge actually parallel those needed for high-stakes trading. We also dive into what makes great teaching, his adventures in writing, and the importance of pursuing intellectually satisfying work over mere financial goals.

As many of us know from the statistics, the research, the news, and even through our own experiences or the experiences of friends and family, fertility issues are commonplace, with different journeys and experiences for everyone going through fertility, pregnancy and everything that goes with it.

Send us a textWe rarely talk about those moments when the business you've built with passion suddenly feels heavy and disconnected. That's exactly where I found myself recently - not quite burnt out, but definitely feeling a sense of "meh" that I couldn't shake.Have you ever built something that once lit you up, only to hit a stretch where you feel completely numb to it? In this raw and unplanned episode, I'm sharing my current struggle with feeling disconnected from my coaching business.After returning from vacation, I've been questioning everything - my approach, my content, and whether I want to continue doing things the way I've been doing them.For me, the realization was that I'd drifted from alignment. Despite teaching others to build businesses without constant hustling, I found myself resorting to Instagram DMs and sales calls during a slow period - the exact tactics I'd moved away from.But here's what I'm discovering: sometimes we don't need a dramatic pivot or to push through. Sometimes, what we need most is to slow down enough to soften and reconnect with what matters.If you're feeling lost in your business right now, I want to remind you that you're not broken or failing - you're evolving. And evolution requires stillness before strategy. Maybe the business you truly want is still waiting to be built, and maybe today isn't the day to build it.Let's make it okay to talk about these moments of disconnection too. They're not just normal; they're necessary for growth.Reach out to me at gary@garyredmond.net if this resonated with you. I'd love to hear your story of reconnection.

In this special episode recorded live at the 2025 FCCS Learning Conference, host Stephanie Barton, SVP of Marketing and Communications for FCCS sits down with keynote speaker Tom Morrison to explore the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern organizations—and how leaders can harness it to expand capacity, not replace people.  “As leaders, we need to focus on sharpening the uniquely human skills that matter most—strategic thinking, relationship building, and emotional intelligence. Let AI handle the tactical, repetitive tasks so we can devote more time and energy to the work that truly drives connection and impact.” — Stephanie Barton, SVP of Marketing and Communications, FCCS  Tom shares his perspective on the power and promise of AI in transforming the way we work, offering real-world examples of how it can eliminate tedious tasks, unlock bandwidth, and help individuals and teams focus more on strategy, creativity, and human connection.  “Humans have an unmatched ability to apply common sense, adapt to change, and build meaningful relationships—skills AI simply can't replicate. Let technology handle the repetitive, administrative work so you can focus on what truly matters: connecting with people and driving impact.” — Tom Morrison, Life Coach, Consultant, and Author  Key Highlights:  AI as a Capacity Multiplier Tom explains why AI should be viewed as a tool to expand human potential—not as a threat to jobs.  Using AI for the Everyday and Extraordinary From helping parents plan birthday parties to assisting CFOs in analyzing complex data sets, AI can simplify life and business.  Debunking AI Myths Common fears around AI—like job displacement and misuse—are addressed, with advice on how to navigate them proactively.  Human Skills Still Matter Despite advances in technology, AI lacks empathy, creativity, and common sense—skills humans will always bring to the table.  Practical First Steps Tom encourages listeners to subscribe to ChatGPT and start experimenting daily—whether it's writing emails, planning meetings, or preparing for tough conversations.  The Future of Work and Leadership The conversation wraps up with insights on how AI will evolve in the next five years and why staying curious and adaptable is key for leaders and organizations alike.  Resources Mentioned:  Tom Morrison's Blog – Explore posts on association growth and leadership.  AssociationStrong Podcast – Tom's podcast focused on member engagement and association innovation.  PropFuel – Technology for associations to enhance member communication.  Betty Bot AI – A closed AI model designed for associations, supporting 140+ languages.  Forward Thinking Advice from Tom Morrison:  “Don't wait. Get the $20 paid version of ChatGPT and start using it every day. Use it to save time, spark ideas, and focus on what really matters—relationships, strategy, and growth.”
