Margie and Andy explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions at work and at home, how overachievers can unknowingly be held back by fear, and why rescripting the stories we tell ourselves is essential to growth. You'll learn about the “courage muscle,” the power of embodiment, and practical steps to face difficult conversations and bold decisions. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or navigating life transitions, Margie offers encouragement and tools to help you close your own courage gap. If you're looking for insights on facing fears, speaking up, and leading with greater confidence, this episode is for you!

Fear thrives when we focus on what we don't want.” “Stand guard at the doorway of your language—your stories shape your reality.” “We need to parent—and lead—from purpose, not from fear.” “Every conversation is improv—and that's what makes it feel risky.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:06 How Did Your Upbringing Inspire Your Courage Work? 05:12 Did You Write This Book Because It Was Easy for You? 07:24 Should We Try to Get Rid of Fear? 09:15 How Do Smart People Hide Their Fear? 13:13 What Was That Story About the First Lady? 16:00 What Does Courage Look Like in Daily Life? 17:58 How Do You Focus on What You Want Instead of What You Fear? 21:40 How Can a Manager Use This to Give Feedback? 23:50 How Do You Apply These Ideas as a Parent? 25:49 How Do You Stop Fear-Casting and Catastrophizing? 28:20 What's a Personal Story You Had to Rescript? 32:40 What's the Role of Language in Shaping Our Stories? 35:00 How Do You Prepare to Speak with Confidence? 39:16 What Reps Did You Put In to Build Courage? 42:20 What Role Has Failure Played in Building Courage? 44:34 How Do You Help Kids Build Courage? 46:34 End of Interview 47:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 52:53 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Margie and her work at MargieWarrell.com.

Technický a hospodársky pokrok neustále napredujú – no ľudia nie sú šťastnejší. Prečo? Lebo progres jedným smerom sa spája s regresom v inom smere a celkovo stojíme na mieste. Ak vôbec existuje skutočný, trvalý a celkový pokrok, tak vďaka čomu? Je možný a dá sa merať len pokrokom hodnôt. Inak nové vymoženosti vytvárajú ďalší priestor len pre úpadok charakterov. Hosťom dnešného podcastu je doktor Emil Páleš, autor viacerých kníh, filozof a predstaviteľ sofiológie, ktorá sa usiluje o celostný pohľad na svet. Zhovárame sa o vzťahu medzi technikou a hodnotami, o nenahraditeľnosti duchovného kapitálu, rastúcej pseudorealite v mentálnych bublinách či zákonite sa opakujúcich dejinách.

From October 10, 1995: Author and science journalist Dr. Daniel Goleman discusses his New York Times best-selling book, Emotional Intelligence. He explains how to handle our anger, how controlling impulses affect our lives and how we can increase our EQ at any point in our lives. Also, Dr. Martin Seligman—psychologist, educator and author of The Optimistic Child—explains the three aspects of optimism, how optimism increases emotional intelligence, and the correlation between pessimism and depression. 

In this deeply insightful episode, we unpack the profound role emotional intelligence plays in coaching and client success. The discussion opens with a reflection on the "soft skills" that elevate coaching beyond systems and programs. Emotional intelligence is explored not just as a buzzword, but as a functional toolkit—one that allows coaches to become more effective, trustworthy, and transformational.Our hosts explore five practical applications of emotional intelligence: empathetic active listening, regulating emotions in high-pressure situations, building self-awareness, navigating conflict, and adapting communication styles. With rich examples, real-life client stories, and thoughtful frameworks, listeners gain clarity on how to build trust, respond to client needs, and guide behavior change from a place of grounded emotional stability.Whether you're a new trainer or a seasoned coach, this episode offers a compelling case for doing the inner work. As one speaker emphasizes, “Your limit in your efficacy as a coach is going to be in how grounded you can be in the face of someone else's discomfort.” Tune in to learn how emotional fluency isn't just a nice-to-have—it's the foundation for lasting client transformation.

While most entrepreneurs are stuck in the hustle, David Henzel has built a portfolio of thriving companies that practically run without him, and he credits it all to one unexpected shift: choosing to lead with love, not fear. David has a portfolio of startups, including LTVplus, TaskDrive, Shortlist.io, 50saas, and his passion project, Managing Happiness. He has also had multiple exits, including MaxCDN. In this conversation, he opens up about automating himself out of daily operations, how he helps others define personal vision and values, and why empathy doesn't always come naturally, but can be cultivated. You'll also hear how his rare neurological condition (aphantasia) affects his memory and emotions, and how he's turned that into a leadership advantage. From hiring practices to product development to AI's role in modern teams, David shares a full-stack perspective on building aligned, purpose-driven companies.

The Power of Empathy in Leadership with Doug NollIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Douglas E. Noll, owner of DougNoll.com, emotional intelligence expert, mediator, and award-winning author. Doug brings decades of insight into how empathy—often misunderstood as weakness—is in fact the foundation of strong, effective leadership. With a background that spans law, neuroscience, and international peacebuilding, Doug shares transformative tools for emotionally intelligent leadership in today's complex world.Leading with Empathy: Why Emotions Matter More Than EverDoug opens by dismantling the myth that emotions have no place in leadership. In reality, empathy is one of the oldest and most powerful human tools for communication and connection—far older than language itself. For over a million years, humans relied on nonverbal emotional signals to form social bonds and navigate conflict. That legacy is still with us today.Through his work, Doug has developed affect labeling, a neuroscience-backed technique that helps leaders de-escalate tension by naming and reflecting others' emotions. This method calms the brain's emotional centers, creating space for rational thought, trust, and clarity. Whether you're managing a team, facing conflict, or navigating change, Doug's approach makes emotional intelligence both teachable and tactical.Doug also warns leaders about relying on “gut instinct” during high-stakes decision-making. Gut feelings are often just pattern recognition—and without emotional clarity, those patterns can be misleading. The best leaders, Doug argues, are emotionally attuned, vulnerable when needed, and skilled in human behavior—not authoritarian by default.About Doug NollDouglas E. Noll, JD, MA, is the owner of DougNoll.com. After leaving a successful 22-year career as a trial lawyer, Doug became a full-time peacemaker. He is an award-winning author, mediator, teacher, and trainer whose work ranges from international conflict resolution to helping life-sentenced inmates become mediators inside maximum-security prisons. He is the co-founder of the Prison of Peace project and the creator of the Noll Affect Labeling System. His fourth book, De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, has been published in multiple languages and is now in its second printing.About DougNoll.comDougNoll.com is the home of Doug's consulting, speaking, and training work. He helps leaders, educators, mediators, and organizations master emotional intelligence to build trust, resolve conflict, and foster stronger relationships in any setting. Through keynotes, workshops, online resources, and his best-selling books, Doug equips people with science-based strategies to lead with clarity and connection.Links Mentioned in this Episode:DougNoll.comDoug Noll on LinkedInDe-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or LessPrison of Peace ProjectEpisode Highlights:Why empathy is one of the oldest human leadership traitsThe neuroscience behind affect labeling and how it calms conflictHow military leadership prioritizes...

Charting Your Course: A Business Navigation System That Aligns Strategy, Intuition & Purpose In this episode, we dive deep with Tim Dwyer, a visionary who has spent over three decades developing a true "Google Maps for business"—a navigation system that integrates logical strategy, heart-centered leadership, and deep intuition. Tim's entrepreneurial spark ignited at age 12 during a petrol strike in Australia, selling coffee to stranded drivers. That ingenuity evolved into a career dedicated to helping leaders and organizations find their true north in complex business environments. Emotional Intelligence: The Leadership Edge We Can't Ignore Tim and I explore how tapping into our emotional intelligence is not just a personal growth strategy—it's essential for leadership effectiveness. When decisions flow from inner alignment, clarity and momentum follow. When there's chaos? That's your signpost that something's off. Tim shares his emotional mapping system, while I add insight on how untrained managers often default to poor leadership patterns due to lack of emotional grounding and practical guidance. Emotional Ownership: The Cornerstone of Healthy Work Cultures We take an honest look at the drama that unfolds when leaders deflect emotional responsibility. Tim breaks down how full ownership of our emotional responses dismantles blame and invites maturity into the workplace. I couldn't agree more—teams thrive when leaders stop pointing fingers and start showing up with accountability and self-awareness. Foresight in Leadership: Seeing the Iceberg Before You Hit It I share a recent conversation with an organization considering a bold move they may not be ready for—an all-too-common scenario. Using an oceanic analogy, I explain why leaders must develop foresight to navigate risk and avoid future burnout. It's not about playing it safe—it's about making sure your ship is seaworthy before you launch into deeper waters. Capability Development: Growing Beyond Your Comfort Zone Tim outlines the predictable stages of business growth and the leadership capacity needed at each level. Whether you're leading a team of 10 or scaling to 1,000, the same principles apply: sharpen your skills, solidify your culture, and develop internal navigational systems that support sustainable growth. And yes, this applies whether your team is made up of employees, freelancers, or AI tools—culture and capability remain your anchors. Curiosity, Reflection & Purpose: A Blueprint for Leadership Renewal We talk about the often-overlooked power of self-reflection. I encourage listeners—whether you're on the front lines or in the C-suite—to step back, get curious, and revisit past experiences with grace, not judgment. The goal? To realign with your purpose and reignite your leadership impact. Distraction is the disease—curiosity is the cure. Authentic Culture: More Than Ping-Pong Tables and Mission Statements Tim shares a powerful case study of a software company that had great perks but lacked true cultural alignment. Once the leadership reconnected with their original vision and re-established meaningful cultural agreements, collaboration and energy returned. The result? A culture that magnetized both top talent and ideal customers. As I often say—culture isn't what you write on the wall, it's how your people feel every day they walk through the door. Tim's Upcoming Book: A Must-Read for Every Leader Navigating Change We wrap with a preview of Tim's upcoming book, launching August 2025. Packed with stories, case studies, and actionable strategies, this book is designed for businesses of every size—from startups to scaling giants. You can pre-order your copy now at tolemy.com. If you're serious about leading with clarity and growing without losing your soul, this one's for you.

In this deeply moving episode, we are joined by Sally Raymond, a Marriage & Family Therapist and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), whose life was forever changed by the tragic loss of her 23-year-old son, Jon, to suicide. Through unimaginable grief, Sally embarked on a powerful journey of healing, rediscovery, and advocacy. Her book, “The Son I Knew Too Late: A Guide to Help You Survive and Thrive,” offers a raw, honest, and profoundly educational look into youth development, trust, and the emotional intelligence we all need—but often lack.Sally courageously shares how her personal tragedy became a mission to help others survive, thrive, and understand the inner world of young people. She draws from the wisdom of Erik Erikson and her own clinical training to explore how emotional wounds from childhood, unmet needs, and trust issues can silently grow into life-threatening despair.This conversation is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone seeking a more compassionate and informed approach to mental health, parenting, and personal growth.

Send me a text!“Where do we go from here” is a common question when we encounter a crossroads in life. Whether a transition is big or small, each point is an invitation learn more about yourself and choose what is aligned for the person you are becoming. This episode engages two types of transition reflection. First the riptide transition point, when you realize you've unconsciously slid back into ways of being you thought you'd moved away from. Second the seismic transition point, when something outside your control cracks your stability. Though vastly different levels of outward impact, they both impact who you understand yourself to be in relation to your life. Radical self-compassion and connecting with trusted others for support allow the room to intentionally answer where do we go from here.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore ways we answer the question “Where do we go from here” through reflections on this podcast and speaking to federal workers facing layoffs.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Why I started this podcastMy relationship to podcasting & perfectionismMy background in SociologyA letter to Federal Workers LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Assigned Reading by Becky Mollenkamp CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration call This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters CollectiveSupport the show

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Michael Martin, raised in a hardworking blue-collar community, embraced the same ethic. An entrepreneur at heart, he hustled from cutting grass when he was 12 to working all types of jobs including golf caddying and waiting at restaurants to starting businesses. Determined to transition into the white-collar working world and being at the right place at the right time, he was exposed to the financial markets.   He subsequently worked on Wall Street, managing commodity accounts. Despite the significant commissions, he realized that he could potentially earn more through an incentive fee. After three years at a brokerage firm, he started his own CTA. Emphasizing the importance of risk management, discipline, and emotional intelligence, and maintaining a mental edge in trading, he discusses his early experiences with commodities, the evolution of his trading strategies, and the significance of networking and mentorship.
