In this episode, I discuss the vital concept of leading with intention, focusing on self-reflection and key questions for personal growth: "Who are you being that gets in the way of what you want?" and "Who are you becoming as a leader?" As a CEO coach at Core Elevation, I've learned that my clients seek insight over traditional accountability. I share practical tools for documenting intentions that guide effective leadership, illustrated through a case study of a VP navigating a performance challenge by embodying her intentions. I emphasize that intentionality influences all interactions, laying the groundwork for lasting growth and offering resources for further development in leadership.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast: Executive coach and former Microsoft leader Sabina Nawaz talks about her book, You’re the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need) — and why she believes pressure, not power, is what truly corrupts leaders. We discuss the thinning layer of middle management, how AI tools are changing the landscape, and why many younger workers no longer aspire to lead. Sabina shares actionable strategies from the book, including Micro Habits, the power of Blank Space, and how managers can stop micromanaging and start serving as the “container, not the content.” She also reflects on her time advising Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer — including a memorable moment involving an umlaut — and explains why getting promoted might be the riskiest moment in your career. Topics Covered: Why pressure is more dangerous than power Managing when the middle layer disappears The double-edged sword of AI-powered management Tools: Micro Habits, the Yes List, Blank Space Communication fault lines and “sage speak” Leadership lessons from Gates and Ballmer How to lead without burning out With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop; edited by Curt Milton.

Send us a textIn this moving first episode of a two-part conversation, you'll meet our guest, Michael Zacharia—an Executive Coach, Mediator, Attorney, author, and peacemaker whose life embodies a question the world is still wrestling with: Can one life hold both Palestinian and Israeli identity?Born to a Palestinian Christian father and a Jewish Israeli mother, Michael's early life was steeped in complexity, contradiction, and deep cultural richness. Raised in the United States, he grew up at the intersection of global conflict and personal formation—where hospitality met independence, where ancient tensions lived around the dinner table, and where identity was never a simple checkbox.In this episode, Michael shares how he learned to live in the in-between—with courage, compassion, and curiosity. He reflects on how both the beauty and the messiness of his story shaped his journey of becoming a mediator and peacemaker.This is not just a conversation about heritage. It's a call to wholeness in a world of division.

In this intimate snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the power of community in healthcare practice management. Tracy shares why she believes the traditional approach of "going it alone" leads to burnout and how a community of practice model provides both practical business support and crucial emotional backing for healthcare entrepreneurs.  Key Highlights  The difference between community of practice and traditional networking - it's about taking off your masks and being raw  How isolation and solitude plague healthcare business owners, even those with great teams  The three-pronged challenge: full-time practitioner + practice owner + chief strategist roles  A real client story: discovering thousands in monthly losses due to double-billing text reminders  Why solo providers need creative business solutions while multi-provider practices need leadership focus  The value of 360-degree feedback systems for practice owners  How community support creates a sense of limitless possibility  Memorable Quotes  "When we feel as humans supported, we feel pretty limitless, like we can do anything."  "The blessing and curse of being a practice owner who's also a practitioner is pretty much working full time providing healthcare services and then the full time job as the practice owner."  "You get to take off your masks and just be yourself and be raw and talk about the hard stuff with other people who get it."  This episode reinforces why the Thriving Practice Community exists - to ensure healthcare providers have the support, systems, and community they need to build sustainable, thriving practices without sacrificing their well-being.  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

Summary When you're promoted into management, the shift can feel like you're suddenly in charge, but with very little guidance. In this episode, Andy chats with executive coach and author James Turk about his insightful book The Giving Game: A Manager's Playbook for the First Year of Leadership. James brings decades of experience helping leaders navigate that tricky transition from individual contributor to team leader. They explore why being a subject-matter expert doesn't automatically make you an effective leader, and why the first 45 days in a new role are so critical. James shares practical advice for building a strong team climate, coaching instead of controlling, and why clarity is one of the greatest gifts you can offer as a manager. Plus, they discuss what new managers often miss about feedback and delegation (and how to avoid those traps). Whether you're newly promoted or preparing to step into a leadership role, this conversation is filled with actionable insights. If you're looking for real-world advice on how to lead when you're suddenly in charge, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “The number one reason employees don't do what they're supposed to do is that they don't know what it is.” “Leadership isn't about being the smartest person in the room. It's about creating the conditions for others to succeed.” “Climate is how it feels to work for you, and as a leader, that's something you have the power to shape every day.” “Coaching isn't fixing the past. It's investing in someone's future performance.” “Most people, when they're promoted, don't have the skills, and they're afraid to admit it.” “If I want people to do the work, they need to know what's expected of them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:57 Start of Interview 02:06 What early experiences shaped how you think about leadership? 05:30 Why call it 'The Giving Game'? 08:39 What would you coach me to do differently in my first 45 days as a new manager? 11:01 Why focus on climate instead of culture? 15:57 How do we shift teams from renter mode to ownership? 20:18 Why do so many managers think we're being clear? 21:42 How can leaders delegate in a way that builds ownership? 22:47 When did you make a delegation mistake because of lack of clarity? 25:25 What's an example of feedback that changed your career? 27:59 What do you think about the 'feedback sandwich' technique? 29:44 How can these ideas help parents at home? 32:10 End of Interview 32:31 Andy Comments After the Interview 36:15 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about James Turk and his work at TheTurkGroup.com/TheGivingGameBook.

“Self-fulfilling prophecies are real things. It's not going to happen for the person who says it's not going to happen. But if you convince yourself that you're going to make this happen, you'll achieve whatever it is. Your brain will look for ways to prove you right.” —Amy Chambers The difference between who you are and who you want to be begins with a single moment of radical self-belief. And that moment often arrives not when you feel strongest, but when you're most vulnerable—when you're willing to admit you don't have all the answers and are ready to embrace the discomfort of growth. Amy Chambers is a transformational coach, author, and ultra-marathon runner who pivoted from a 21-year career in financial services to walk the path of personal development. With two bestselling books on leadership and personal growth, she's dedicated her life to helping individuals break through mental barriers and create extraordinary lives.Tune in as Heather and Amy explore how embracing discomfort, challenging limiting beliefs, and taking radical responsibility can transform your career, relationships, and inner landscape, as well as the power of personal accountability, leadership strategies, and the transformative journey of self-discovery. Connect with Heather: WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedInEpisode Highlights:01:06 From Finance to Coaching05:51 Leadership Decoded: 7 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders 08:37 Leadership Beyond Titles14:10 The Ownership Principle19:01 Rock Bottom Transformation25:47 Authoring Change33:42 The Ultimate Life Hack: Self-BeliefResources:Books

Chris Alder, an executive coach and Zen priest, shares his fascinating journey from working as a chef at ski resorts around the world to finding his calling in spirituality and coaching. He recounts the experiences that shaped his passion for meditation, including a life-changing retreat in India and his ongoing exploration of traditions from different cultures. Chris talks about integrating his Zen background into his coaching practice, learning to embrace it more as his unique brand, and how it attracts clients seeking deeper transformation. He also reflects on the importance of owning one's unique “And," those passions outside of work that truly light us up. Chris encourages listeners to lead with what makes them come alive and to be unashamedly themselves, as it's our authentic interests that create genuine connections both personally and professionally. Episode Highlights · Chris shares how stepping fully into his identity as a Zen priest and weaving his spirituality into his coaching has helped him stand out and attract the right clients. · He emphasizes that our hobbies and passions (“Ands”) are our true differentiators and bring light and energy into our lives, workplaces, and relationships. · Chris encourages people to own their unique interests and passions without shame or fear, highlighting that it's how you talk about what you love, not what the interest is, that draws people in. · His story evolves from adventuring in the physical world (like snowboarding across European borders) to exploring the inner world through meditation and spiritual practice, showing that adventure can be both outward and inward.

https://youtu.be/GigFOIkP3BI Doug Gray, Family Wealth Advisor, Succession Planning Expert, and Founder of Action Learning Associates, is passionate about helping leaders flourish through agency, curiosity, and collaborative frameworks. We discuss Doug's ADFIT Protocol for Leadership Development, a simple and effective framework that assumes people don't need to be “fixed” — they need the structure to grow.

His latest book, The Success Playbook for Next Gen Family Business Leaders, gives rising leaders the tools to step into their future with clarity and confidence. --- Enable Family Transitions with Doug Gray Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Doug Gray, Family Wealth Advisor, Business Change Management Agent, Organizational Leadership Facilitator, Succession Planning Advisor, and Executive Coach. He's also the founder of Action Learning Associates and the author of three books on leadership. Doug, welcome to the show. Thanks so much, Steve. Pleasure to be here. Yeah, great to have you. And let's start with my favorite question. What is your personal “Why” and how do you manifest this in your practice and in your activities? I like to go big. So, to serve tens of thousands of leaders, I'm not sure how to quantify it, but I think the idea of serving others in their leadership development journey is the most important “Why” I can imagine. Yeah, well, that certainly can be rewarding. Any particular reason it's important to you to serve others? We don't use the verb serve enough. I live in the south where Chick-fil-A is abundant and people will openly ask, how may I serve you? Which is a delightful question. Greenleaf was an academic and a Quaker who asked, how may I serve you? And service servant leadership emerged from that philosophy. And I think we need to do a better job of serving one another's needs. Yeah, I love that. Really, this mindset of looking at the other person and thinking about the other person rather than ourselves and not be self-serving, but be other serving. It's definitely a resonance with me. It's primary also in leadership development, but also in learning. Curiosity is the result of, like you worked in executive coaching for a long time. And curiosity is the currency of learning. To what extent can you become curious about the other person on the call? Similarly, right now, your podcasters are thinking, oh, this Doug Gray guy, he's fairly weird. And they get curious about various things. And they ask questions or they invite you to do so. And that curiosity is what impels us to learn. It's what enables us to use tools like AI. Coaches are great at writing prompts, thankfully. What I love about AI is that anything that comes to mind, I'm a very curious person. And I hear a word, I say, where does this word come from? And then I can immediately ask AI and then I can go about my business. It doesn't take any effort and better insight. So yeah, I agree. I was talking to a client just the other day, a new client, and he asked whom should I bring to the team into discussion? And we went through different perspectives and still there was some uncertainty in his mind about who has the potential to be leader. And I asked him, which of these people are curious? He says, oh yeah, some of them are not curious. And then he connected the dots that if they're not curious, they're not going to learn, they're not going to grow, they're not going to be leaders. That's right. Yeah, totally agree with that. Okay. So I'm very curious about the framework that you're bringing to this show. And we discussed in the pre-interview about this idea that people don't need to be fixed because they have agency and capacity.

Andro Donovan shares her remarkable path from motivating disadvantaged youth in London to transforming organizational cultures worldwide. Her passionate approach to helping leaders find their true essence rather than chasing external symbols of success creates a compelling framework for anyone feeling stuck or unfulfilled despite outward achievements.The conversation reveals powerful concepts like distinguishing between "form" (material success) and "essence" (deeper meaning), the life-changing practice of intentional visioning, and the transformative power of creating "forums" where leaders can safely explore their deepest challenges. Particularly fascinating is Donovan's description of how many professionals unconsciously "clock out of their soul" upon entering work environments that fail to embrace their full humanity and creativity.Through personal stories and client examples, Donovan demonstrates how asking deeper questions—Who am I around when I'm happy? What lights me up? What do I want to be remembered for?—can fundamentally redirect our lives toward greater fulfillment. Her insights on moving from "head space" (analytical, problem-solving) to "heart space" (empathetic, vulnerable) offer practical wisdom for leaders seeking more meaningful connections with colleagues, family, and themselves.Whether you're questioning your career direction, struggling with work-life alignment, or simply feeling there must be more to success than what you've achieved, this episode provides both comforting validation and actionable pathways forward.

“Happiness is often around an external event or external situation where joy is internal.” “You can't pour from an empty soul.” “You can choose how to show up.”   Episode summary | In this episode of ROG, Shannon Cassidy speaks with Linda Shively, a neuroscience and mindset coach, about the importance of joy, resilience, and generosity. Linda shares her personal journey of overcoming adversity, including escaping an abusive marriage and dealing with her daughter's health challenges. She introduces the concept of 'joy-stealing dragons' that hinder personal happiness and offers strategies to tame them. The conversation also explores the significance of laughter yoga, the difference between joy and happiness, and the importance of self-generosity. Linda emphasizes the power of gratitude and small joys in cultivating a fulfilling life.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Joy-stealing dragons can hinder personal happiness. Laughter yoga promotes intentional joy and connection. Joy is an internal state, while happiness is often external. Generosity can manifest in many forms beyond money. Self-care is essential for personal well-being. Traveling provides perspective and joy. Unexpected connections can lead to profound mentorship. Being present is crucial for mental well-being. Gratitude can spark joy even in difficult times.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Joy and Resilience 02:17 Linda's Journey: Overcoming Adversity 05:30 The Joy Stealing Dragons 08:30 Taming Your Inner Dragons 12:13 The Power of Storytelling 14:18 Understanding Joy vs. Happiness 15:32 The Essence of Generosity 16:36 Self-Generosity and Personal Care 17:06 Filling the Soul: Nourishment and Joy 17:40 Travel as a Soul-Filling Experience 18:36 Unexpected Connections: Mentorship and Friendship 20:22 The Power of Presence in Communication 24:04 Rapid Fire Insights on Joy and Mindfulness   Guest Bio | Linda Shively has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and is a best-selling author, international award-winning speaker, and neuroscience and mindset expert.

In this episode, I explore how growing companies can effectively maintain their culture as they scale. Drawing insights from my experience with over 800 CEOs from the Inc. 5000, I address the challenges that arise when transitioning from small teams to larger organizations. I argue that attempting to preserve the original culture can be misguided; instead, leaders should focus on adaptability while upholding core values. I emphasize the importance of establishing clear values, aligning new talent with these principles, and viewing hiring as fostering a shared mission. Additionally, I discuss the necessity of evolving cultural values to keep pace with rapid changes in technology and market demands. I invite listeners to connect for resources that can aid in cultivating an environment where growth and culture harmoniously coexist.

Do you have a tendency to say YES - or saying nothing at all - when really, you want to say NO? Today I am exploring 6 different scenarios where you might need to say 'No!' more often in your career!I am sharing some powerful reframes so that you can say 'no', without having to say 'no' at all!We are talking too about how saying 'no' can result in huge benefits to you, as well as greater ROI for your organisation! Pushing back, and saying 'no', has never been easier! I'll see you inside!Something I said today:"Saying 'No' can be presented in lots of different ways to make it more palatable. For example, you can say, "Look, I don't agree with this" or 'I think we need to take a step back and discuss this more" or "I feel like this is the wrong decision to take, can we look at this again? Working on reframes like this can make it extremely easy to push back and say 'no'."

Off we go then….!Stephen Kirk has so many more stories and depth to him, than this 50 minute podcast can convey. To give you a flavour. He founded one of the first UK cable TV companies - Cable London. And then simultaneously, Broadsystem, which pioneered interactive services for newspapers and TV companies, which he sold to Rupert Murdoch. He's also held many NED positions including the Shine Group and and Chairman of the Ink Factory. All aided by…“I'm blessed with an ability to see the future and this gift enabled me to establish companies, with varying degrees of success, in technology”His life is a continual stream of synchronicities, maybe because of his meditation practice, but also, what feels like an absence of fear of what could go wrong. He's narrowly avoided death from colon cancer, saved by a witch (a story for another time), which led him on another path, this one to love, with his wife Luiza. He's trained as an Executive Coach and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner to help him better understand the needs of aspiring entrepreneurs and himself. He now works with individuals and businesses, whether as a Board Advisor or Coach.His new book ‘Wild Card' is based on fictional characters and any link to people or businesses is purely coincidental!!! It has now come to ‘market' some 20 years sitting on his computer hard drive, as you'll hear more about today. I didn't want to write about my life and all the dramas in it and all that sort of stuff. What I wanted to do, however, was to piece together all the weird synchronicities that have happened during my business life and weave them into a story that had a middle, beginning and an end.Stephen and Luiza (a fabulous chi-gong teacher) have been part of the Soulhub community, supporting and sharing all of our work together, so it's with great pleasure to host this conversation with Stephen.

Episode Overview  In this candid snack episode, Miranda Dorta turns the microphone around to interview Tracy Cherpeski about her specialized consulting approach for healthcare practice owners. This unscripted conversation reveals the genuine dynamic between the hosts while exploring the unique challenges facing healthcare providers who own their practices. Tracy shares insights on identifying scalability readiness, overcoming time management struggles, and the evolution from one-on-one consulting to building the Thriving Practice Community.  Key Highlights  The Business Acumen Gap: Healthcare providers often lack the business training needed to successfully operate their practices, despite their extensive clinical expertise The "Too Busy" Pattern: Practice owners frequently get caught in cycles of handling tasks that could be delegated to practice managers or administrative staff Scalability Assessment: Practices need solid operational foundations—including clinical, front office, and back office operations manuals—before they're ready to scale Community-Driven Support: The Thriving Practice Community was launched to create a peer ecosystem where healthcare providers can crowdsource business solutions and build a social safety net Delegation Dynamics: Many practice owners hesitate to delegate not from a need for control, but from concern about overwhelming their already busy teams Memorable Quotes  "In all the places for people to be struggling in their business, healthcare just really should not be one of them. It shouldn't be so hard."  "You provider owners are wearing two full time professional hats, maybe even kind of like a third one if you separate strategy from leadership."  "Just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Unless your entire staff is down with some stomach virus, you're not going to be doing your blood draws—your team is going to be doing that because that's what they're really good at."  "If we can smooth over the strategic aspect of it, the leadership aspect of it, the operational side and get it running like a well-oiled machine, then life is so much better and easier on the clinical side and outside of work."  "We wanted to take the focus off of me as the provider and build an ecosystem that's truly supportive, that creates that social safety net for people."  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A. (she/her/hers) is the Manager of Operations and PR at Tracy Cherpeski International. A graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design with expertise in writing and creative storytelling, Miranda brings her skills in operations, public relations, and communication strategies to the Thriving Practice community. Based in the City of Oaks, she joined the team in 2021 and has been instrumental in streamlining operations while managing the company's public presence since 2022.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community. As a Business Consultant and Executive Coach, Tracy helps healthcare practice owners scale their businesses without sacrificing wellbeing. Through strategic planning, leadership development, and mindset mastery, she empowers clients to reclaim their time and reach their potential.

Panagiota Hatzis is the VP of Human Resources at HexClad Cookware, a hybrid cookware company. With over 15 years of experience in HR, she has led people and teams through hyper-growth, global expansion, and major cultural transformation. Panagiota is also an Executive Coach at MentorPass and Leaderology. Before HexClad Cookware, she was the Vice President of Human Resources at Common Thread Collective, where she helped scale the company from 20 to 80 employees across 10 states. In this episode… Scaling a company from $10 million to $100 million requires more than just great products or marketing; it demands an intentional and strategic approach to building and leading teams. Yet many leaders overlook people operations as a vital growth lever, treating HR as an administrative function rather than a revenue and culture driver. How can businesses rethink their people strategy to avoid burnout, misalignment, and stalled growth? People operations and organizational psychology expert Panagiota Hatzis emphasizes repositioning HR as a strategic business partner aligned with EBITDA goals. This requires maintaining relational equity — trust and mutual respect — between leaders and teams and optimizing processes to minimize burnout. Building culture intentionally through frequent communication, transparency, and accountability is crucial for maintaining alignment as you scale to the next stage of revenue.  In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris interviews Panagiota Hatzis, VP of Human Resources at HexClad Cookware, about using people operations as a strategic growth engine. She explains how to encourage guilt-free time off for employees, the difference between effort and authentic business results, and how to close the gap between leadership intent and the employee experience.

Episode 385 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Julia Austin - Board Member, Executive Coach, HBS Senior Lecturer, Operator, Angel Investor, and now - Author. Another repeat original guest! Julia was a guest for Episode 30 of The VentureFizz Podcast back in 2018 where we do a deep dive into her background plus cover lots of interesting topics like what it takes to become a great Product Manager and others. In this interview, we catch up to discuss her new role as an author and the details about her new book called After The Idea - What It Really Takes to Create and Scale a Startup: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/julia-austin/after-the-idea/9781541705296 https://www.amazon.com/After-Idea-Really-Create-Startup/dp/1541705270 Julia is a seasoned operator who has served in leadership roles at several scaled technology companies like Akamai, VMware, and DigitalOcean.

What I also appreciate the most about this book is the fact that it is very comprehensive, yet easy to understand and implement. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * A quick run through Julia's background - check out Episode 30 for the deeper dive. * How Julia became a member of the faculty at Harvard Business School and the impact of The Startup Operations course that she created. * The inside look at what it's like to write a book. * How proper discovery can help avoid false positives. * Why entrepreneurs don't always need a co-founder. * The importance of ABR - that being Always Be Recruiting - for founders. * The difference between Founders & Joiners * Comparing the Boston and NYC startup ecosystems. * And so much more.
