Podcasts about Get What You Want

Thursday 8/28/25

Ever walked away from a conversation with a senior leader and wondered, did they even hear me? It's not just what you say that matters. It's how you say it, when you say it, and whether you've thought about what they need from you. Executive communication isn't about filling space or adding polish. It's about clarity, timing, and making it easy for someone to say yes.In this episode, I'm sharing what actually works when you need your message to land, whether you're presenting in a room, sending a high-stakes email, or making a quick ask in the hallway.In this episode, I'll cover:How to structure your message so decision-makers stay engagedWhy considering their interests (not just your own) changes everythingThe common missteps that get smart professionals ignored_____________________

In this week's mastermind, Ed Lane shared his proven systems for building long-term success through client referrals and engagement. With 80–90% of business coming from referrals, Ed emphasized that the key to growth isn't chasing leads—it's staying top of mind with your sphere and past clients. Key highlights included:Referral Power – How trust transfers from one client to another and why consistent touchpoints drive results (Ed generated 3 new listings in a week from referrals).Engagement Strategies – The impact of handwritten notes, a 70/30 personal-to-business social media mix, and client events with a charitable twist.Relationship Framework – Categorizing clients into A, B, and C groups, rewarding referrers as VIPs, and using the “Mayor Campaign” script to generate loyalty.Smart Automation with a Personal Touch – Combining CRMs, AI-driven market updates, and thoughtful seasonal gifts to make lasting impressions.Standing Out as a Broker – Crafting a unique, compelling response to “What do you do?” that sets you apart from every other agent.Irresistible Value Propositions – Why your offer should feel like presenting a $600,000 gold brick—so good clients can't say no.Ed wrapped the session by encouraging agents to refine 3–4 consistent activities to stay connected, underscoring that referrals come from connection, not just transactions.

Instead, they invite us to lean into curiosity, optimism, and self-awareness to get what we want out of love and dating.Together, they dive into:Why the concept of “settling down” needs an upgrade—and what it means to “settle up” instead How understanding your “why” of dating shifts your whole approach Using the peak-end rule to reframe past dating experiences How showing up enthusiastically and with trust as the default right from the start can amplify your dating and relationship experiences            And so much more!“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandraThe Opposite of Settling: How to Get Everything You Want Out of Love and Life Without Losing Your Spark by Case KennyInstagram @case.kennyLearn more about Case Kenny: https://www.casekenny.com/Order Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubmit a Listener Question

We wait. For permission. For someone to notice. For the timing to be right. But the truth is, your career doesn't move forward just because you're doing great work. It moves when you opt in.Cerys Goodall, COO of Vetster, knows this firsthand. She went from biotech dropout to C-suite leader by saying yes before she felt ready. In this conversation, we talk about what shifts when you stop waiting and start raising your hand. Whether you're trying to grow your influence, navigate internal politics, or lead people with real intention, the most powerful thing you can do is show up for yourself first.This isn't about being loud or aggressive. It's about seeing opportunity and saying: yes, I'm ready.In this episode, we'll cover:How to use the RAISE framework to speak up with confidenceWhy advocating for yourself teaches others to do the sameThe mindset shift that helps you lead people through change, not just manage itMentioned in the episode: RAISE Framework: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bbivWHdMAyIi_PARJ1-JeeGi1rGqjHDJ/view?usp=sharingConnect with Cerys: www.linkedin.com/in/cerysg00dall_____________________

In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I'm so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I'm meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others. I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we're stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn't build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you're becoming. This conversation is raw, honest, and such a beautiful reminder that you don't need to wait to become her—you can be her now. Liked this episode?

And the more that you can really own who you are. You say what you mean and mean what you say, and you don't say it mean, and you just own that with every bit of you. That is actually the ripple effect in the mirror that magnates people to you.” - Julie Solomon  “ What I really get hooked on is like, okay, what are you making up and telling yourself that, that person has? Because that's going to allow you to drop more into what it is that you want that's already inside you. If it wasn't inside you, you wouldn't see it in other people, good or bad, right? You can also do this with what you're wanting to shed, right? Because it's all a reflection in a mirror of either what you no longer want or what you're wanting to lean more into.”- Julie Solomon GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Cherylanne on The Brilliant Balance Podcast RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

Ever notice how fast you jump in to fill a quiet moment? But what if silence isn't something to avoid, it's something to use. In this episode, I'm digging into why silence might be the most powerful thing you don't say. Whether you're negotiating, leading a meeting, or just having a one-on-one, those few seconds of quiet could be the difference between misunderstanding and connection. I'll walk you through the research, the mindset shift, and why silence isn't awkward. It's intentional.You'll never sit in a pause the same way again.In this episode, I'll cover:How even a 3-second pause can shift the outcome of a conversationWhy silence builds trust and creates space for collaborationWhat happens in your brain (and theirs) when you stop talking_____________________

Don't confuse Human Hacking with Manipulation...Like Everything there can be a Dark Side, but Now When It Is Used for Good What if you could ethically influence others, build instant rapport, and create lasting positive impressions—just by understanding human behavior more deeply? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Christopher Hadnagy, world-renowned social engineer, cybersecurity expert, and bestselling author of Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You. This is not your average conversation about relationships or persuasion—this is a masterclass in human connection rooted in psychology, empathy, and real-world application. Chris has spent his career studying how people think, communicate, and make decisions. In this episode, he reveals how the same principles used in cybersecurity and social engineering can be powerfully applied to everyday life through social engineering or "human hacking"—whether you're leading a team, building a business, networking, or simply trying to be a better version of yourself. From decoding body language to navigating tough conversations, Chris breaks down the tools to ethically influence outcomes while making others feel seen, heard, and valued. We'll dive into practical techniques of human hacking that go beyond manipulation and into the realm of authentic connection—where the goal isn't just to get what you want, but to genuinely elevate the lives of those around you. Chris calls it “leaving people better off for having met you,” and he'll show us how to make that mindset the foundation of everything we do. If you're a leader, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to have more meaningful and effective interactions, this episode is for you. Join Coach Jay Izso and Chris Hadnagy as we explore the hidden power of human behavior—and how mastering human hacking can change your relationships, your business, and your life. If you are looking to hire a great speaker and master of practical influence, please go to Chris' website Social Engineer | The Experts in Social Engineering Chris Hadnagy book, "Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You" is absolutely phenomenal!  He starts by taking in to one of his jobs trying to break into a high security facility and then moves us into how he is able to get past security to find sensitive information.  Hold on...it's his job!  He is paid to do this. But what is even better, Chris pulls back the curtain and literally shows us how to use social-engineering or "human hacking" for the good in our everyday conversations and relationships.  Wait!  Before you go down the road of thinking this is some form of "manipulation"...it's not.  Chris acknowledges there is a "dark side" to human hacking, but what if we could use these skills for good?  What if we used them to enhance our relationships, communicate more effectively, be better sales people, be more authentic sales  people and yes, even increase our bottom lines by doing things the right way. The book is filled with detail after detail of how we can use "human hacking" for good, and not for evil.  He also gives us the secrets behind the darker side of manipulation by showing us what exactly a "con artist" is trying to do to you and how they use their skills to phish out information. Powerful and fun.  Practical and authentic.  This book is an eye-opener for anyone who really wants to understand the psychology of ourselves and others and how we can use these powerful tools to truly make the world a better place.

We tend to picture negotiations happening in boardrooms, but the real opportunities? They show up in hallways, at the end of meetings, in the quiet moments when you're not quite ready but should be.
