What becomes possible when solutions to modern urban society's most pressing challenges—housing the unhoused, corporate innovation, designing more beautiful places & objects—originate from the communities who have inhabited this place from time immemorial? Guiding us through this multifaceted exploration is Colleen Echohawk. Currently CEO of the Native lifestyle brand Eighth Generation, Colleen's resume encompasses city politics including a Seattle mayoral run 2021. Earlier, as Executive Director of Chief Seattle Club for seven years, she oversaw the creation of 300 new units of affordable housing. Collen spotlights today's rising generation of indigenous government and business leaders as well Indian Country's most admired cultural creators. She suggests that a more enduring and just society would be place-based. In the case of Seattle, this involves incorporating Native values including those of the region's indigenous Lushootseed-speaking Coast Salish peoples. Inspired by Potlatch culture, for example, Colleen challenges corporate leaders to reimagine established notions of prestige and prosperity. Colleen's mellifluous tales fuse with the harmonies of Black Belt Eagle Scout and the rhythms of Supaman. These young recording artists amplify the critical and ongoing dialogue between tradition and invention, a dynamic embedded in Colleen's heartening life, work and stories. "We talk in Indian Country about how we are trying to help reframe folks to say, hey; ‘we are not just in these museums, we are not just artifacts…we are actually living, thriving communities." ~Colleen Echohawk

This is the first episode in the series: Mastering Imposter Syndrome: interviewing senior leaders in the technology industry, overcoming their inner imposter. Nat Schooler and Kim Adele introduce the series, they explain a little bit about what they have learned so far and then they interview Ms. Jayne Archbold CEO. These are some of the things they discussed:  Finding Voice. Understanding the technical landscape and all kinds of other situations. Ms Jayne Archbold CEO - A seasoned executive with a record of driving product innovation, operational transformation, integration of acquisitions and delivering business growth.  Currently CEO & Managing Partner of Iptor, a global ERP provider with HQ in Sweden.   Formerly with Sage for 18 years, latest position CEO Europe Mid Market.   Now Jayne is a non executive director and investor in Notify Technologies & Saberr, both are UK start ups. Jayne is passionate about people and making a difference. From Newcastle originally and like many other people right now she is in Lockdown. She is step mother to 4 grown up sons and has two dogs. Challenges overcome, being in her late 20s, at Sage.  Headhunted by them and it was a local job, she had an intimidating boss.  Didn't like the way her boss wanted her to be a certain type of person. Wasn't happy and wasn't making a big difference and realising her potential. Wasn't happy as wasn't being herself. Not being able to be authentic was a big turning point for Jayne. Not fitting in was very difficult and the networking events have been the most challenging thing for Jayne.  Used to cope by thinking of three interesting things to talk about.  Like many others Jayne still feels uncomfortable at these events.  She flipped her intent on it's head and decided to make it more about them and not her. She was originally terrified people would judge her. She found it needed to be fixed by working with a coach. They also discussed:  When do you feel most vulnerable? When walking into a meeting with highly intelligent people and highly technical people. Intellectual technology conversations also being a struggle. They agreed that acronyms were ridiculous. Being not afraid to ask questions if you don't understand is key. Jayne explained that the ERP solutions they offer make a real difference for businesses and she explained this simply. Which is what Jayne is great at! Explaining this in a simple way makes things a lot easier. How do you manage your imposter syndrome? "Mindful firstly when and where this is going to happen, so preparation is crucial. Thinking about what is the worst thing that can happen and continuing to be yourself is key." Asking people questions is really useful in these situations for Jayne. "Being honest if you don't know the answers to any questions is key.  Tell the truth, be open and give as much as you can to the best of your ability. Coming back with the answer at a later stage is a good strategy if you don't know it there and then." Jayne's major tip is being authentic. https://iptor.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaynearchbold/ https://www.facebook.com/jayne.archbold https://twitter.com/JayneArchbold https://www.instagram.com/jaynearchbold/ https://www.influentialvisions.com/mastering-imposter-syndrome

Martin Ward knows people and numbers. Growing up in the UK, it was these skills that would take him through the Middle East and Singapore before settling into the automotive industry in Australia. Currently CEO of Eagers Automotive, Australia's largest vehicle retailer, Ward has been instrumental in driving a 700% share price appreciation over the last 15 years.  A staple of Ward's time in management has been his ability to quickly identify shifting market trends. This pre-emptive mindset has underpinned two recent initiatives - the development of auto malls and acquisition of used car retailer Easy Auto 123 - both of which will allow Eagers to retain a dominant position and continue growing. With auto companies such as Tesla and Carvana Co. reaching sky-high valuations, Ward retains the view that nothing beats the underlying quality of operations in the long term. As a result, his commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability places Eagers Automotive in good stead for the future. If you're going to have physical retailing, it sure as hell better be exciting In this episode of the Success and More Interesting Stuff podcast, we discuss Martin's ascent through the business world, his plans to allow Eagers to continue dominating, and ultimately a deep dive into the future of the automotive industry.

Gary Gattis spent his entire career making video games, AI/Space was a late life industry transition. Why? When Gary decided it was time to move into the next adventure in his professional career, he asked everyone (yes, everyone) two important questions that led him to Hypergiant, where Gary and the team believes that AI is essential to secure our place in the universe via space exploration. “We started looking at ground control, and saw there was a lot of room for disruption.”- Gary Gattis on Casual Space Podcast  When it was time to move into the next chapter of Gary’s professional journey, he went to friends and colleagues and asked everyone two questions:  “1. What’s the coolest stuff going on in the world, and 2. If you weren’t doing what you were doing, what WOULD you be doing? That was a fascinating time in my life! I was doing 10+ coffee/ lunches a week! It was full time!”  “I call it my journey of discernment. Really, three things came out of it. The first was a deeper connection to myself. I was talking to people I’ve known 20-30 years ago- old friends. Second, I got to see myself through other people’s eyes.  Third, it really helped me hone my personal brand. It took a lot of external conversations for me to validate [what my personal brand was] through other people. It was a great experience for me, and I highly recommend this experience.” -Gary    Oh by the way, He’s been to Space Force HQ.    About Gary Gattis: Gary is an Interdisciplinary leader guiding people and process to improve our world. Specialties include growth, operations, and management. Founded several companies at the intersection of technology and design, led extremely diverse teams to success.Currently CEO for Hypergiant Galactic Systems, focussed on integrating Artificial Intelligence with the commercialization of Space. More about Gary and his work and career at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garygattis/ Interesting stuff about Hypergiant from Texas Monthly: Hypergiant aims to help its clients gather and analyze vast amounts of data. You’re working on improving the sensory perception of machines. You’re aiming to launch a network of small satellites gathering data from above. And you’re looking to empower “smart cities,” stitching together data from cameras that are increasingly everywhere Hypergiant does sell—artificial intelligence-enabled software and hardware—and you’ll appreciate Lamm’s problem. Even many people lacking in technological savvy have heard of AI as a force with the potential to shape much of humanity’s future—for better or worse. Some of those people look to get into business with Hypergiant without any real idea of what it is they’re buying. They just know they want some. “It’s like the most addictive drug that no one’s ever had,” says Lamm, who serves as the company’s CEO.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.Date: 28 April 2020 Is your industry in a downturn? (Join the club)... But when it turns around, are you ready to hit the ground running? Small Biz Matters is here to help you pirouette, pivot, adapt and revolutionise your business with two thought leaders from the Events and Real Estate industries. Two worlds turned upside down these past few weeks.They’re going to share with us two great examples which ANY business can learn from on how to adapt quickly using technology, out-of-the-box thinking and a bit of hard work. A self-confessed real estate tragic, first we chat to Daniel Gunning who has taken his wealth of industry experience in commercial real estate and developed a strategy which any business could turn into a very different revenue stream. Then Event Industry heavyweight Luli Adeyemo teaches us how Best Case Scenario flipped an event from traditional face to face to online in under 2 weeks whilst still maintaining the mantra that Content is King.   ****************************************************************   Welcome to the show Daniel. Topics we’ll be covering: Can you share insights into the current issues small businesses are facing when it comes to the under-utilisation of business space? There's always been an issue of under-utilised/unused business space, which represents a loss for businesses -many pay rent for space that they are not using to its fullest. But up until now that was quite an unseen loss, and one they could afford. With the current lockdown that issue has become top of mind, with unused space a prominent loss and threat to many businesses' survival around Australia. There is going to be a complete recalibration of how businesses operate, not only following the lifting of the lockdown measures but in the longer term. The transition period post-lockdown will be long, and new working and operating habits created, with flexible working and flexible business operations levels becoming the new normal. I will be key for businesses of any type to learn how to optimise space and create extra revenues via a better space utilisation. Why and how should small businesses rethink their use of space to adapt to a new world order, a new business reality? Changes to the market, new rules and adapt There's an opportunity for businesses to reduce their footprint, and adapt to an increasingly risk heavy environment and increasingly a new world order where markets, economies and Government-led directives change a very rapid pace Building resilience means becoming flexible, scaling up and down - including with physical business space - almost on demand to adapt to constant changes from the market or to face crises like Covid, bushfires. etc. Small businesses can build resilience and better balance their 'Rent to Revenue' ratio by both saving and making extra money with a better utilisation of space. What can businesses do now, in preparation for that new reality and transition period post lockdown? For many industries, the road to recovery is going to be long. Businesses cannot afford to sit on space they pay a rent for but that is underutilised. Right now is a very important phase for all small businesses, in particular in industries affected by the lockdown (i.e retail, hospitality, arts & culture,...). Now is the time to PREPARE the return back to a 'new normal' Businesses need to start thinking of new creative ways to use and optimise their space, either by renting that space out to others (i.e sole traders, other companies), or by even thinking of the creation of new services out of that space The idea is to foster more flexibility, and build a win-win scenario where someone in need can find cheap and flexible ways to use space, on-demand, while allowing the company woning the space to create extra revenue without needing extra investments Now is the time to invest in the technologies and digital platforms that will allow that scaling up and down and that flexibility that the business and economic world now requires 4.What are ways businesses, in particular in industries such as retail, hospitality, as well as for sole traders to use their space differently, to think more creatively and create new services? Examples of new services that can be created while social distancing restrictions are still in place : transform parking into drive-ins for cinemas, locations for live streaming for health and well being activities and retail, ghost kitchens for home delivery services, locations to park food trucks, retail/food drive through, delivery services, home delivered cocktails. Examples of ways to create win-win scenarios where an unused space can be rented out on demand by the hour, day or week (i.e a sole trader needing an office or just a desk 5h/week - they can get access to a great office space cheap, while the renting company can make an easy extra revenue) - The most common under utilised space in an office is usually the board room and unoccupied desks, car parking spaces. An example of a win/ win scenario is a business offering their boardroom and unused desk in the office to a sole trader for an agreed amount of time per week. alternatively, a company may operate their business between the hours of 8am - 5:30pm each day, the can rent there office to another business who may deal in international markets and they can use the office between the hours of 6pm to 9pm at night or they may rent there office out the a small business that rents there office from them on Saturday and Sunday when the other business is closed. Examples of ways the hospitality & retail industries can reach out to a corporate clientele by offering corporate packages during non-peak hours - Food and cocktail delivery packages, group retail sales via live streaming. Once self-isolation measures will be lifted, some restaurants and cafes can transform into mini coworking centres, rent out some of their tables/space to sole traders and freelancers, cafes closed at night can offer their space for corporate team building events, etc. To find out more go to their website: https://spacenow.com/  About Daniel Gunning: Daniel has Real Estate in his DNA with he and his family being prominent figures in Australia’s real estate industry, he has acted as director of commercial real estate group, Gunning Real Estate.

Topics we’ll be covering: Why in your experience is it important to remember that regardless of the platform - online or in person - content is always king? Should you lower your expectations for an online event in terms of attendance and retention? Have you got any tips on how to keep your audience engaged throughout? Is this different to the face-to-face model? What tools do we have at our disposal (polls, breakout rooms, ways to engage the audience?) Does the prep change? Do you need to train your speakers, experts and panellists for this new online version? How is this different? Does the brief include lighting in their homes, presentation (such as clothing) and HOW they need to address the online audience? Why is a professional moderator so important when conducting events online?

Hello Coaches!This Prosperous Coach Podcast episode is a departure from the usual format because this episode is the first ON AIR COACHING episode where you get to listen in on a real strategy session with me and a coach who is ready to choose a smart niche.First, let me introduce you to Marshall Stern ... then we'll get into the session.Over the past 35 years Marshall has started & led several businesses. In 2009 he published a book Now is The Time... The Stern Truth on Growing a Business in Any Economy. In 2011, he partnered with Leadership Expert, John Maxwell, and became one of his certified Leadership Coaches & Speakers.Currently CEO of Sandbox Signs + Graphics and also Business & Life Mastery, Marshall believes that self-leadership is the key to business & life success. Over the years he has seen many businesses fail and he is passionate and committed to helping others not just build a business that works but also a life they desire and deserve. Marshall became inspired to coach partially through a John Maxwell leadership training. With 25 impressive years running his own sign and graphics company, Marshall knew he wanted to work with business owners.Up until now, Marshall has been on the journey of letting his more specific niche find him. The uncertainty has been confusing.He heard my podcasts, applied for On Air Coaching and was accepted.This session covered a lot of points that are valid to all coaches:The downside of a broad or ambiguous audience is that the Universe is also ambiguous with your results. When you put your certainty, commitment and persistant action behind all you do, then everything you do has a greater impact.Not all potential audiences are seekers -- people who readily invest in their own personal and professional growth. See Episode #12 - Why Do Some Coaching Niches Fail? for a definition of seekers.There are several ways to narrow an audience so you have more leverage building your business.Language has the power to attract or detract. It's important to use the language that resonates with your audience.Clicking on the certainty button for one specific audience helps you leverage the power of language to attract ideal clients to your Discovery Sessions.What you learn in a training program may not be fully applicable until you are crystal clear about who you serve and exactly what they want.Let your integrity tell you whether something is right for you.If you have several good choices for your target audience, know that there is NO WRONG CHOICE. What draws you the most?If you target a narrow audience, don't worry, you can absolutely work with people who are outside that audience.Choosing a specific audience is about marketing power and ease in enrolling, not about excluding anyone.Marshall knew that he wanted to work with business owners / entrepreneurs and along the way he's worked with financial professionals, business owners of all sorts and also with mompreneurs. He resonated with the moms who were also solopreneurs and they resonated with him, especially around his leadership philosophy.But, Marshall was hesitant to pick one clear direction even though he felt it would help him in several ways to choose.He was considering:Mompreneurs. But he had concerns that, as a man, he couldn't compete with the women coaches whose messages were about women's empowerment. (At the same time he thought that letting that hold him back was hogwash.)Parents who are also business owners. Maybe it would make sense to include Dads because, after all he is a father who has prided himself in attending all the important family events even while he ran his graphics and sign company for 25 years. But he has found women more inter
