In this week's editing of the AmiSights Podcast, we speak with ⁠Alana Winter⁠, Executive Coach and Retreat Facilitator. Tune in as we discuss the significance of clarity in business operations and the necessity of effective communication within teams. Alana also shares her insights on how to implement structures like the RACI matric to improve accountability and efficiency in business. "Most people wait to ask for help until it's too late. A growth coach isn't going to help you when you can't meet payroll. At that point, the founder can't be delusional and has to be honest with themselves and recognize the real situation that they're in."The main topics of today's episode include how a client can align with the right coach to fit their needs, how to recognize early when it's time to seek help rather than waiting too long, and why it is essential to address the underlying reasons that created the original problem before moving on to the next step.Learn more about Alana: https://alanawinter.com/Recorded on 7/28/25

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Chad Hufford, founder and lead advisor, Veritas Wealth Management. He highlights how embracing failure as experimentation, focusing on intentional choices, and building life by design, not by default, can lead to real, lasting success and fulfillment.   In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of early role models. Examine who influenced you most in childhood and what values or lessons they modeled. Understanding these roots helps clarify the foundation for your present decisions and leadership style, guiding you toward more authentic, intentional living. Build resilience through stepping into the unknown. Consider experiences that pushed you out of your comfort zone, as Chad's Alaskan upbringing did for him. Cultivating tolerance for uncertainty sharpens your adaptability and prepares you for difficult leadership decisions, which is key for navigating change and adversity. Use blueprints as flexible guides. Develop clear strategies and plans (your “blueprint”), but remain open to adapting as circumstances shift. This approach keeps you proactive but nimble, allowing you to celebrate progress rather than judge imperfection—making goal achievement less overwhelming and more rewarding. Celebrate controllable actions over uncontrollable outcomes. Focus your efforts on the daily choices you can influence instead of external results like market trends or other people's behavior. This shift builds a sense of agency, boosts motivation, and creates sustainable progress toward long-term goals. Claim the driver's seat in your life. Acknowledge where you've been passive or reactive, and commit to making decisions that align with your values and vision. This empowers you to move from feeling stuck or at the mercy of circumstance to actively shaping your own fulfillment and success. Focus on mindset to create lasting change. Prioritize internal shifts in thinking and resilience, as Chad's book emphasizes, rather than just external “how-tos.” Cultivating an abundant and intentional mindset makes every step toward growth—financial or personal—feel more meaningful and achievable.   RESOURCES: Guest Bio Chad Hufford, a lifelong Alaskan, is a financial advisor, speaker, and bestselling author of “Forging Financial Freedom”. He leads Veritas Wealth Management, a boutique firm managing over $500 million nationwide, and is a Dave Ramsey Smart Vestor Pro.   Blending expertise in finance, athletics, and performance psychology, Chad helps people invest wisely and live with purpose.

Tracy Cherpeski shares insights into the Practice Growth Readiness Intensive, a four-week program designed to help healthcare practice owners move from feeling overwhelmed to gaining crystal-clear direction. This snack episode reveals the market gaps driving demand for this intensive format and the measurable outcomes participants can expect.  Key Highlights:  The number one complaint from practice owners is always time, followed closely by burnout and isolation  Most clients don't see bottom-line changes for 90 days, but the intensive provides immediate clarity and a strategic roadmap  Ideal participants have at least one year of practice ownership experience and are financially stable enough to invest in growth  Physical changes often appear first - better sleep, reduced tension, faster decision-making  Average client ROI is 10x within 12-18 months, with most recouping their investment within 90 days  The program bridges the gap between clinical excellence and business leadership confidence  Memorable Quotes: "There's such a difference between clinical excellence and confidence and business excellence and confidence."  "A lot of times once we get to know somebody, they'll confess later: 'Yeah, I feel like I don't really know what I'm doing,' and that's incredibly difficult for any highly trained professional to admit."  "You set the tone for the culture of your practice. And that can have an incredibly positive impact on your entire team, and that goes out to your patients and that ripples out to your community."  This episode offers a rare glimpse into the methodology behind helping healthcare providers reclaim their time while building thriving, sustainable practices. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready to scale, Tracy's insights provide a clear path forward.  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

I emphasize the importance of regular executive team meetings for alignment and accountability. Building on previous insights, I discuss the risks of over-functioning for team members, resisting structure, and overly relying on the CEO for decision-making. Empowering teams with autonomy, maintaining communication through structure, and shifting focus to strategic leadership are key principles I advocate for creating an efficient and resilient organization.

https://youtu.be/w1ZbzfSrdFk Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, is driven by a mission to help people overcome challenges and find the clarity to act. His Marathon Mindset Framework includes Purpose, Preparation, Pace, and Perseverance—four guiding principles that help individuals and teams sustain momentum and avoid burnout in pursuit of long-term goals. We dive into Michael's journey from a 30-year corporate career to coaching, inspired by a desire to live with purpose and help others do the same. He explains how leaders can use the Marathon Mindset to navigate overwhelm, maintain strategic focus, and build resilience. Michael also shares the concept of DMAs (Difference-Making Actions)—intentional, goal-aligned tasks that counter reactive busyness and drive daily progress. --- Make a Difference Each Day with Mike Viane Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to overcome challenges and find the clarity to take action. Michael, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Thank you for that nice introduction. I copied it from your LinkedIn page, so it wasn't my creation, but I think it's a good one. So as an introduction, by way of introduction, Michael, why don't you share what is your personal “Why” with our audience? I will give you a rather lengthy answer on it. My “Why” started after 30 years in corporate America of having the recognition that I was waking up each day without any passion for what I was doing, without any sense of fulfillment at the end of my day. And the recognition that I needed to find the courage to move forward and do something that I deserved. And that was to have passion and fulfillment in my everyday life, to want to wake up in the morning and do things. And I had the very obvious and rewarding recognition that my greatest accomplishments in my career were always in coaching and mentoring people on my team to be greater organizational contributors, to be future leaders. And when I said this to people, they said, let me introduce you to somebody. And I met a coach. I met a business coach who explained to me what he does. And then I was introduced to Focal Point Business Coaching. And at Focal Point, we have the idea that we are a pebble in the pond, and that when we help one person and we drop that pebble into the pond, we see the ripple effect go out. My “Why” is literally to help others, to teach others, and make even the smallest of difference in their lives and in their business worldShare on X so that it creates that pebble in the pond ripple effect and it affects and makes people who work for this business owner, their lives better, their family lives better, the community stronger. This is my goal, this is my “Why,” this is my passion. Okay, love it. To be the pebble in the pond and create the ripple effect, that is awesome. And definitely coaching can create that, especially when you coach executives who then coach their direct reports and their family life gets better. Let's talk about how you do that and one of the things that you talked about earlier when we chatted really struck a chord with me when you talked about the marathon mindset. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. And how do marathonists think about the race and how they pace themselves? So, what is the Marathon Mindset and what are the four Ps of the Marathon Mindset? Yeah, and this was actually the topic of our Focal Point conference this year. The Marathon Mindset and the four Ps. The four Ps are Purpose to begin with. And we just talked about this and “Why.” Our “Why.” So we talk about our purpose. then we talk about Preparation. Preparation is our process, our ability to plan, our ability to practice, to set goals, to have a mental readiness,

In this episode, I examine habits that CEOs often believe support growth but actually hinder progress. I caution against the allure of new ideas that can distract teams from effective strategies, advocating for a focus on refining what works. I discuss the risks of micromanaging and emphasize the importance of empowering team members. Additionally, I highlight the necessity of addressing tough conversations and providing feedback to foster a healthy workplace culture. This discussion sets the stage for reevaluating CEO habits and aligning leadership strategies with growth objectives, with more insights to come in future episodes.

We're often operating under the false illusion that the career track we have now is the career track that we somehow have to follow under any circumstances - it's easy to snap to common conventions around progression, where you work, and how you work. But what if there's more to the "choose your own adventure" track that we do not know about? To get to the bottom of this question, I sat down with Lenn Pryor, a seasoned executive who used to work at many well-known companies, but decided to carve out his own niche where he found both joy and professional satisfaction. It's a risky bet that paid off, and I was keen to learn more about how he justified it and what decision points helped him navigate the overwhelming ambiguity. What I really enjoyed about recording this episode is that the learnings are broadly applicable no matter what role you are in or are looking to jump into.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kijuan Amey, Chief Motivation Officer of Amey Motivation LLC. He highlights his extraordinary journey living his dream of working in the Air Force to an accident that changed him forever. He shares how redefining his life through resilience, faith, and the power of vulnerability, gave him what he needed to thrive again.   In today's episode, we discuss: Reframe vulnerability as a source of strength. Embrace open self-expression and honesty about your struggles. This can foster healing, help you confront past pain, and empower both yourself and others. Acknowledge and address mental health openly. Recognize the reality of emotional struggles, such as depression after trauma. Seeking support and being transparent about difficulties can reduce stigma and provide relief. Remind yourself that setbacks do not define you. Internalize the mantra, “my situation does not define who I am.” Use this belief to separate your identity from your circumstances and maintain hope for your future. Appreciate the hidden lessons in adversity. Understand that challenges during childhood or unexpected setbacks build resilience and self-reliance. Apply this mindset to reframe today's difficulties as opportunities for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio From serving in the US Air Force to becoming a CEO, mentor, and bestselling author, Kijuan's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Durham, NC, he's a true testament to the power of determination and perseverance.  - Serving 10 years in the Air Force, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant.  - Former Vice President for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association.  - Mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.  - A talented drummer with 25+ years of experience.  -On-stage actor. - Author of the bestseller, "Don't Focus on Why Me."  In a life-altering moment on May 5th, 2017, he lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident.

No matter the audience or location, he's ready for the task, from captivating crowds of 1,500 to one-on-one sessions, he is now the chief motivational officer of Amey Motivation LLC.   Website/Social Links: ♦      LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kijuan-amey-783889121?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app   ♦      Instagram:     https://www.instagram.com/kijuanamey?igsh=NmZtNHRqbW1meWNy&utm_source=qr   ♦      Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bq7zzDeV5/?mibextid=wwXIfr   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

In this episode, I discuss the key components of creating a transferable company that thrives independently of its current leadership. I outline five essential elements: a strong, inspiring vision; effective communication through regular executive meetings; robust accountability systems that empower team members; distributed leadership to avoid dependency on a single individual; and the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for operational continuity. I emphasize the importance of adopting these strategies early and invite listeners to join our upcoming training sessions for deeper insights into fostering organizational transferability and sustainable growth.
