What's a family's role to a loved one who's dealing with addiction? Chris and Lisa discussed the family's involvement in healing from addiction. Making the phone call can make a big, significant change, especially since 90% of people with addiction don't get help for it as it's a general thinking for others to help them once that person hits rock bottom. They also discussed the misconceptions about addiction, treatments, and going to rehabs. There's always an intervention: love as the first method is a much better route than the threat of jail time.

As someone who loves a good dance party, I never considered the power of dance to transform how we view our bodies. I love how Lisa explains how dance helped her learn to connect to her body like she never had before! Lisa Ryding, a Swedish law graduate who ran a sports shop, went travelling and ended up starting a dance business in Colombia before starting to coach women on overcoming their fears and insecurities around their bodies to live life confidently right now. She believes that if we can accept ourselves more as we are, we will be more accepting towards other women, and this world will be a better place to grow up in. She loves travelling, chocolate, workouts, hugs, and wine and my biggest fears are the dark, and wasps. She believes that life is meant to be truly lived and enjoyed, whatever that means for YOU! We talk about: • How Lisa discovered dance • The impact dance has had on her body image • Why she believes dance can be so healing • How to get started with dance Resources: www.instagram.com/lisa_ryding www.facebook.com/lisa.ryding --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nurtureme/message

Lisa Princic is a trained business strategist and the host of the Scaling Deep Podcast. Lisa's clients turn to her for help with business growth when they are worn out from chasing the next mass marketing trick, but know they need to go beyond word of mouth. She is a results-oriented, deep thinker who has an innate instinct for “seeing” the value of a business and turning that into a pipeline of ideal clients. A staunch believer in business simplicity and intention, Lisa helps her clients accomplish their goals by focusing on what to do AND what to ignore. Here's what we covered on the episode: Lisa's Journey to Becoming a Business Strategist  How Lisa's team reached out to me about having her on the podcast to talk about starting and launching a membership and how it applies to a creative business owner    In 2008 Lisa decided she needed to get out of her day job and because she had a great experience with a life coach at that job, she decided to take life coaching  Within a year of life coaching, Lisa realized she loved working with small business owners and entrepreneurs Lisa explains business coaching can get tricky because you can be a trained coach but not have business experience, or vice versa and says coaching is about empowering people to make their own decisions  In 2015, Lisa came across Tara McMullin who was running a business strategy training program, she took it and became a business strategist Around 2018, Lisa decided she needed to go in fully and had a great experience getting on the networking outreach plan where she started connecting with people, which helped her feel more validated about what her true value was, and what her skill sets were  Shortly after, Lisa started her podcast which continued her networking and shares that from the beginning of 2019 to now, her business has really started to grow  The Membership Niche + Membership Models   Last fall, Lisa figured out that the membership niche was one she could dive into even further to help make herself more clear, easily referred and understood One area Lisa focuses on is helping people design their ideal membership and grow it along with helping her non-membership business owners Lisa's unique positioning even within the membership market is that she doesn't care about tactics and says you should focus on your best skill set or asset to focus your membership around The fears that surround memberships and how knowing your superpower can help combat those fears  Lisa explains the 3 main focuses of models when you're in the service business; the education and training model, the community model and the coaching model, which is the one she leans towards as a strategist    The first membership Lisa started was a membership for past clients and says they do 3 calls a month, which is easy for her and suggests sticking to one core thing, then adding onto it once it becomes more natural for you to help take the overwhelm out of it  How you should really pay attention to the customer journey/transformation and look at your membership like a program Lisa says choosing your technology and platform should be based on the kind of model you pick for your membership and says there is no perfect solution so you should focus on the one platform that will fit you best  Don't forget, you aren't locked in just because you have a month to month membership, Lisa says you can learn and change things as you go and know that it probably won't be perfect right from the start and doesn't need to be Lisa explains that a warm-up group/model is a group that might have a lower price range and says they're the first group you bring in to learn about you and sell to What Lisa Offers in Her Business  How Lisa's uses a coaching model, where she works with people in business design intensives, helps sort out their business model so they know what they need to do and all they need to do is implement — she keeps people on track and offers follow-up support  What Lisa loves offering in her business is VIP design days so she can help clients sort out their business model, she also offers her follow-up membership, and just launched her Profitable Membership Program for women led membership business owners Lisa shares good retention strategies that you can use for memberships, like different payment options, interviewing your members and getting clear on your customer client transformation How to set up boundaries within your membership and how Lisa is going to run her Profitable Membership a little like a course in terms of people getting hands on support and having a roadmap to work through   When entering into a membership it can be confusing where to start, which is why Lisa reminds us that people need guidance and that you need to have some intention for them because if people don't know what to do, they won't stay  Connect with Lisa on Instagram, check out her podcast, send her an email at lisa@scalingdeep.com and if you're into memberships, get her free training on her website  Lisa's podcast is called Scaling Deep and is all about helping online business owners learn how to grow; they go behind the scenes on what it really takes instead of following all the mass marketing tactics     Links mentioned: Scaling Deep Podcast   Profitable Membership Program Lisa's Website - Scaling Deep    Connect with Lisa on Instagram    Lisa's Free Membership Training   Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

Have you been feeling alone and questioning your self-worth? It's actually one of the worst emotions anyone could feel. That restricts you from being fully present and doing what you are capable of. In today's episode, Lisa gets to acknowledge the mixed emotions she has been feeling these past months that have taken a toll on her mental health, relationship with her kids, and even herself. With the pandemic still not letting up and people not getting together as they used to before, it is indeed frustrating. With someone like her who just moved to a new place with no other adults beside her, only kids around, this sometimes triggers emotional thoughts that would send you nuts. And if you do nothing about it, chances are, you will get stuck where you are and not move ahead. And that is something we don't want for ourselves and anyone, for that matter. Let's accompany Lisa and see for ourselves how Leslie uses one of Hypnosis' tools and coaches Lisa to get into her body and transform from being that scared woman who is full of self-doubt and fear to one who is brave and empowered.  "Even though it's scary, I am brave enough. I can be scared and be brave, and feel a whole lot better about doing it and still get what I want." - Lisa  What you will learn from this episode: 02:40 - How Lisa has been doing right now 04:55 - Lisa getting a feeling of empty space inside 06:33 - How those swirling thoughts affect her daily life, relationship with her kids, and even herself 10:03 - Leslie coaching Lisa to get into her body and acknowledge what she's feeling and slowly bringing her out of that scarcity mindset 19:39 - The positive outcome after coming out of Leslie's coaching 24:17 - What she wants to tell anyone who is going through the same situation as her Connect With Leslie Thornton: WeighLossAlbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Although the materials and trends change, the desire to make things beautiful is deeply human. Lisa Koenigsberg, President of Initiatives in Art and Culture (IAC), joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about this phenomenon, as well as IAC's series of conferences covering a variety of jewelry topics. Read the episode transcript below.  Sharon: Hello everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. Today, my guest is Lisa Koenigsberg, President of Initiatives in Art and Culture, an organization which is committed to educating diverse audiences in the fine, decorative and visual arts, with particular emphasis on jewelry. The organization offers some intriguing conferences and live stream events. We'll hear all about those today as well as Lisa's own jewelry journey. Lisa, welcome to the program. Lisa: Thank you. I'm so glad to be here. Sharon: Tell us about your jewelry journey. I know you covered a lot of ground prior to founding the organization. Lisa: It's actually a more complicated question than that, because our journeys—the personal and the professional are always intertwined. I'll start with one memory from my childhood, which is of my mother getting dressed for special evenings. She had an outfit that was red and shoes that were printed with a raspberry print—perhaps it was floral and I remember it as that—and she had earrings that were two rounds of small rubies with little diamond flowers and a ring that matched. That association is very profound, one of beauty with my mother, one of the meaningfulness of adornment, the specialness that it denotes. Special can mean many things, of course. I happen to be an extremely visual person. I was born into a world, if you will, a culture, and I have always looked at materiality from across a disciplinary perspective. How does the mother's jewelry indicate that? On the one hand, you have the emotion that resonates, the association, which is a powerful way that humans think. When they see something they associate with X, and if you do it often enough, then you have an accepted, codified language. If we always see, for example, a steeple and then think “church,” then we've created a convention of meaning. The other thing is that her jewels were beautiful objects made of materials, meaning what? You'd have stone; you'd have metal; you'd have artisanry that shapes material, crafts material—another loaded word—into something that is then worn. I think one of the great challenges about jewelry is that adorning ourselves and crafting objects to which we give significant value—and by that I don't mean monetary value, but we imbue it with spiritual value, we load it with emotional association and the resonance of love, of friendship, the power of faith, for example, a cross, or a more singular object would be the Pope's ring. This is an innate instinct in us to want to adorn and to create adornment.  I'm steering away from the word “jewelry” in this context, simply because any word, as we're discovering these days—we had the War of the Roses, and now we have the War of the Words. What exactly do words mean? Wearing and creating what we could call jewelry is so innately human, and yet we burden it with the weight or the negotiation of associations that can come with the word “luxury.” Luxury, to many people, implies something that is superfluous; it is frivolity. One of the ways people are trying to resolve that dichotomy is in contemplating how the materials that go into the adornment are sourced, how the adornment is made, which gets at “good, better, best” and this idea of fewer, better things, which is not anti-materialist; it is actually an affirmation of the importance of materiality and the importance of being selective, purposeful, considerate and deliberate about choice. But it's a heavy burden that jewelry bears. Sharon: That's true, and in Initiatives in Art and Culture you've explored this. Tell us about the organization, your webinars, the conferences you're doing. Tell us more so we know when we get something in our email about an upcoming event. I know you've explored a lot of this. Lisa: The organization launches and then stewards projects, very often conferences, symposia or series. Now we're looking at publications that focus on—I'm going to borrow my term back “visual culture,” and by that we mean what you see. From the earliest point in my life which is preschool, pre-everything, I have seen the visual as a language. You have the language of form; you have the language with which you execute form: Is it classic? Is it baroque? Is it spirit? Is it colorful? You have the materials out of which it's made. What value do we ascribe to those materials? Is one better than the other? Does material value influence our concept of whether something is better or not?  With this general swirl, what does a picture of Andrew Jackson astride a horse tell you? It references a whole tradition of visual culture. It reinforces the mythology of Jackson, which you may wish to unveil to see some ugly subtext. It is about communicating effectively to a culture with imagery that conveys extant but perhaps not articulated messages that need to be articulated. If you think about religious art, much religious art is not only glorious, but it also serves as a visual manifestation of something so we think, “Oh, that's a textual narrative.” Before the universality of text, we had images, and how those images are created impacts us as much as the words with which a statement is crafted.  Then there are many dimensions to value of material. So, it's made of aventurine and it's blue, and therefore it's one of the most costly colors. Is that the product of a society that relies upon it for its subsistence? Then there's what we might call social sustainability as a dimension. All of these things are, from my perspective, summarized in visual culture. So, our purpose is to explore from every angle—and we welcome new thoughts as to what those angles might consist of—but to explore from every angle possible that which you see. Jewelry is of central importance in that canon of objects.  Sharon: In a different lifetime when we could travel, I attended one of your conferences, the Gold Conference. You have an upcoming virtual conference. Tell us about that. It really sounds interesting, and it focuses on jewelry and some of the issues you've been talking about, sustainability.  Lisa: With pleasure. We have two conferences that have focused on jewelry that are fairly long-running. One of them tends to look at fashion, cultural zeitgeist, materials, and it often uses color as a lens. It was the 10th anniversary of that conference, which was called Green. It was in 2008 that we made an effort to rework our significant commitment to that and transitioned into exploring jewelry and materials related to jewelry. In the process of working on that conference, we met many people with whom we still have wonderful relationships today, ranging from Toby Pomeroy, who was a pioneer in what was then called ecoluxury and who has such an important mercury-free mining initiative underway, to Benjamin Zucker, who is a gem merchant but also an extraordinary novelist and collector. He came and spoke about green diamonds because we wanted, one might say, a polymorphously perverse approach to green and gold and how it is mined. That was a focus of that conference, and that was the beginning of a leg of a journey. We did a Coral Conference; we did a Diamond Conference. I woke up one day and said, “Oh golly, we've never done gold,” but the nuggets were there, if you will. It's a corny metaphor, but that was the beginning of what you referred to, a decade as the “Gold Conference,” which has explored the emotional power and resonance of artistic potential residing in gold, associated values attributed to gold and how it is yielded from the earth. As the cultural conversation has become more complex and look into more angles, so has ours with a pronounced emphasis on craft or artisanry as well as on our responsibility to the planet and to one another. It's something we would call responsible practice. At the same time, I've been very interested in pushing the boundaries so that we do more comparison, for example, of gold and diamonds and established categories or vehicles of value and the different ways they are produced, to use the industry terminology, or mined. What are the society implications; what are the different ways we consider value; what's the relationship between, say, stone and metal in creating something of beauty? We were very fortunate to partner with Ronnie Vanderlinden and a number of groups he's associated with and do something called Day of Light. Sharon: Who's this person? I don't him; I'm sorry. Lisa: Ronnie is very prominent in the diamond world. He's an extraordinary human being of great kindness and immense connectedness throughout that world. When I say “that world,” I mean the world of diamonds in particular, which is a very complicated and interesting universe. We were asked to partner with him and a group of colleagues to produce a day called Day of Light. Out of that day—which looked largely at diamonds, everything from their significance, to the range of colors in which they come, to the moral ramifications of extraction, all of that—out of that, came the idea of pushing the borders of the Gold Conference so the Day of Light shone brightly on the Gold Conference. So, we married the two, or one has expanded to include the other, which is something I've been quite interested in. Of course, that doesn't preclude our looking at colored stones at all, but that, in effect, is the upcoming virtual conference. So, it's our 11th year of what is now the Gold and Diamond Conference. We are doing it virtually July 13-15. The reason for doing this virtually is, one, I had an extraordinary epiphany. The first time we did a webinar and understood the impact we have or did have, we were really honored because we had 44 countries listening in. That was enormously exciting to me, and I guess unfortunately meant more work, because I was so excited that I said, “All right, we're going to do this even if this is whatever the world looks like.” The conference is in person because there's a criticality to being in person that you cannot replicate. On the other hand, the virtual and web context provides other things that also are irreplicable and important, so together they are more than the sum of their parts. Sharon: What are the dates of the conference? Lisa: The conference is going to happen July 13-15, which is a Tuesday through Thursday, approximately 10:30-2:00. Sharon: Is that Eastern Time, 10:30-2:00? Lisa: Yes, ET. The reason for that is that we try to be mindful of as many time zones as we can be; West Coast, U.K., Europe, etc. and that seems to be a good slice. Those are not precise hours. We are working to have an elegantly crafted program, because the way people experience time virtually is different than they do when you come together for something in person. That's something we've been quite aware of. Sharon: First, I want to make sure everybody listening knows we'll have a link to your website and that they can get more information about the conference if they want to sign up for it. I also want to emphasize, just from my own experience, that you're talking about deep, profound issues, but at the same time you had makers; you had designers. I'm not in mining or manufacturing, but I want to make sure everybody understands that you had guests that were of interest to a lot of people. Lisa: We have a tremendous cross-section of people participating in the program, from makers to curators to collectors to yes, manufacturers, which is a bit of a separate realm, to people who cut stones, to people who write about value in the world. You pick up the newspaper and there's a column, “Should I Buy Gold Today?” That's actually related to what's on your finger, and the people who come to our conferences mirror that diversity. We have collectors. We have people who love jewelry and are interested in it for a range of reasons, and it is not what they do for a living or their day job. Then we have a range of people who do come from different aspects of it. You can have somebody who works in mining sitting next to somebody who has the breath of god in their hands. That actually brings up something interesting, which is the hand aspect. The open door to everyone is something that has been fundamental to me forever, and I have to say I'm very indebted to my father for this. My father was deeply, deeply interested in American art all his life. I was immersed in that world; I still am. My father approached that world as the amateur. He read everything. He looked at everything, but this is not what he did for his day job. This was a passion to which he was deeply committed. That enthusiasm and joy in the field of endeavor was something that was transmitted. That spark, that is the most interesting thing to feel that and to bring whatever question, whatever interest, whatever approach you have.  Something that's important that needs to be talked about more is how we wear jewels. We tend to think, “Oh, we're going to put the broach on the shoulder. That's where it goes.” Well, that's the idea of a coat pin, but in fact the brooch unbelievable. It is positioned in many ways, has many functions. It becomes quite related to fashion, and by fashion I don't mean “It's got to be pink or navy blue,” but literally, “Well, if I'm going to wear it at my waist, can the structure of my outfit, whether it's pants or a skirt or a dress, accommodate that positioning?” What does positioning mean? We know innately that we respond to these things, because all you have to do is scroll your media feed and say, “Oh my goodness, somebody has an engagement ring and it's a portrait cut. Somebody else has worn it. It's a pearl. Somebody else set a magnificent stone and created a highly original ring.” We see these things. We may not be drilling down into the particulars in the footnotes, but we're all susceptible to the buzz, the power, the cultural associations of needing to do better. There's the example of the impact of “blood diamond” and what the industry has done and the efforts that inspired them to do better, to be better. Frankly, some of the people who consider this on the most important level, they're the consumer. Jewelry is a powerful vehicle that touches us all. Take a look at your left hand or your right hand. Are you wearing something? It probably says something to you, and that's what we're here to explore and talk about.  Sharon: You've had series of—I call them webinars, but they're live streams with a variety of people participating from all over the world with live discussions. Lisa: Yes, our Child of Covid. This was sparked by one of our partners. We were going to have our 10thanniversary conference in April of 2020, and fortuitously it was going to be on Earth Day. Then circumstances prompted us to push it back to October, and we were asked, as was everyone, “What are you doing to meet the circumstances that exist now? What are you putting in front of people? How are you engaging them, how are the issues and the beauties and all the rest of it being brought to bear?” I had no experience in the realm, but I said, “O.K., we'll do three webinars, one a month, between now and when the conference is meant to happen.” I say meant to happen because we ended up doing a virtual manifestation, but it was that experience, the first episode or webinar that we put forward, and the breadth of audience and the responsiveness of audience that moved me to say, “We're going to continue doing the conferences, absolutely; they're critical and irreplaceable, and at the same time this is something important, too.”  One of the things we strive for is unscripted, guest-prepared lectures, and always with people who are speaking from a perspective of accomplishment, whether they're an amazing jeweler or somebody who represents a particular part of the government or a particular part of the industry, whether it's retail or women's issues. People who bring, from their own informed vantage point, a readiness to talk with each other about questions and shared interests, even if perhaps they come from different avenues. We've been excited to welcome people as participants from all over the world, as you suggested, and we also receive questions, comments and responses in real time from people who are all over the world wanting to have answers or make comments about what's going on. That's our Child of Covid, but we will find another name because it is here to stay, I hope.  I like to turn that on its ear and say it's something that prompts in me a thought about this interlude or period of time that has been Covid. Interlude maybe suggest something a bit too pleasantly musical. Along with the devastation and the very traumatic impacts, loss of life and transformed social structure, have also come some very positive outcomes, even if the way one defines that outcome is a period of reflection to think about how we can do something better, how we can have better lives, how we can be more reflective or conscious or kind. What is the meaning of what we do? Do we want to be a bit deeper with less of the frequency that seems to have characterized culture prior to the pandemic?  Sharon: I understand why you've had so many conferences, virtual or in person, because these are deep issues. You bring in people from across the board, people who are working hands-on, bench jewelers, designers, people who are familiar with mining and manufacturing. We could talk about that more, but what was interesting to me in your last webinar was a lot of people saying, “We're not there yet. We have been working on environmental consciousness and how and where things are mined.”  I want to make sure everybody knows that your next conference is July 13-15, and it's Gold and Diamond. For me, being on the West Coast, I'm thrilled when these things are virtual, even though I've been fortunate enough to go to New York to attend some in person. To sit on my living room couch and listen to these is great. Lisa, thank you so much for being here today. Lisa: May I leave you with a parting thought? Sharon: Absolutely. Lisa: O.K., I'm going to take this off. On my right hand, I wear two rings. One of them was given to me by mother on my first Mother's Day as a mother. Imagine that I'm holding up this ring, which is beautiful; it is Greek in expression, timeless looking, very, very warm gold. Those are the attributes visually. Then there are all the associations the ring has, because my mother wore it for years and years, and I was actually present when my father gave it to her. So, that ring is on my hand. Clearly that ring is important to me. In a way, the jewelry journey starts with each of us. The fact that jewelry is meaningful in whatever way it is actually prompts a quest for the materials. That opens up the world of questions about practice and sourcing, for example. Then, as it's transformed, you have other questions regarding taste, etc. But it all begins with us and our deep-seated connection to jewelry. I think the personal connection there is something that we celebrate, and hopefully it is a universal touch point for all of us as we go forward to talk about it in whatever ways we will.  Sharon: There's so much to talk about. We can talk for hours about some of these subjects, and I'd love to do that. Hopefully we'll have you back again and we'll continue the conversation, but thank you so much for being here today. Lisa: It's absolutely a pleasure. I'd love to come back anytime. Sharon: O.K., thank you. We will have images posted on the website. You can find us wherever you download your podcasts, and please rate us. Please join us next time, when our guest will be another jewelry industry professional who will share their experience and expertise. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

There's a myth about passive income. People have this idea that you do nothing at all and money somehow magically appears in your account. After all, it's passive right? Not true, I'm afraid!

Lisa Berger, Director of Tourism for Ulster County, has more than twenty years of government experience, starting at Ulster County Tourism as the Director of Marketing and Group Sales. She was promoted to Deputy Director in four years, and from there, was asked to lead the county’s Office of Employment and Training and Workforce Development Board. Over the next six years, Lisa worked with businesses, economic development, and education leaders to create policies and programs that help ensure that the labor force meets the needs of local businesses and industry. Berger became the Director of Ulster County’s Department of Economic Development in September 0f 2019, where she developed strategies that promote sustainable economic growth, which will help all Ulster County residents. In November 2020, Lisa found herself back at the county’s Tourism Department, this time as the Director. She brings an innovative, creative flair for robust partnerships and original promotional campaigns. Berger is currently looking at reinventing the standard travel guide, making it a meaningful touchstone for the creation of authentic experiences. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Lisa Berger about transferable skills and why it’s so critical to spread the word about various routes into a successful career in the tourism industry. As Lisa explains, we need to show people the path to follow and where being a travel and tourism professional could lead them. We also dive deep into Lisa’s plans for Ulster County to lead recovery in the tourism sector – including expanding the visitor base, building partnerships, and helping travelers make a deeper connection with the experiences available in the area. What You Will Learn: How transferable skills and the ability to use previous experience and a passion for helping your community can lead to a successful career in tourism Why the tourism industry needs to promote the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusion Some of the things that Lisa is working on to help Ulster County lead the way into recovery Lisa’s new travel guide project with curated experiences that will help expand their visitor base How Lisa is making partnerships work for businesses, communities, and visitors and why they are stronger together Why building deeper connections through partnerships and with their visitors is driving Lisa’s approach to recovery Making Deeper Connections Lisa shares her passion for finding and fostering deeper connections between visitors and what Ulster County offers in terms of local activities, arts, and experiences. She shares the region’s plans for expanding their visitor base by shifting the focus onto the cultural heritage traveler and looking at their history as a center for art and music. The county’s plan to really speak to a diverse audience in a welcoming way, to let them know that they’re going to feel comfortable, is at the heart of Lisa’s plans for moving forward into the future. A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats Cooperation is also one of the key principles of Lisa’s roadmap to leading recovery in the tourist centers of her region. Integral to their plans to build partnerships and find ways for visitors to connect with the region is their carefully curated travel guide — complete with COVID-safe QR codes — which will showcase the unique partnerships that the county has built so they can offer visitors more recreation opportunities than ever before. Lisa also outlines her philosophy of creating connections by asking businesses in the tourism sector what they feel they need from her department, listening, and working to give them what will help them most.

Programming a robot, and "fun", were once two unrelated concepts. iRobot's Root® Coding Robot brings them together. Root® teaches coding by engaging the imagination of students, "ages 4 to 99".   Interacting with the robot, they may not realize just how much they're learning. They're busy playing  games, getting the robot to draw, write, climb, make music, and a host of other beginner-friendly coding activities. "Students need to be exposed to (STEM in elementary school), even pre-K," says iRobot STEM Program Manager Lisa Freed. Accordingly, the Root®'s coding lessons start with simple drag-and drop procedures.  Then, as students grow and learn, they progress through three learning levels .   Text-based Level Three is based in the Python programming language. "We're always adding (curriculum) to support users who are going beyond Level One," says iRobot Learning Designer Anna Elzner.  And a key concept, she says, is keeping the lessons engaging. Sparking educators' creativity, as well as students', is a high priority as well.   Anna designs many of the curricula for the Root® robot. "We have this library of really fun, engaging games," explains Senior Learning Designer Rebecca Attia.  "I'm really looking forward to (supporting teachers)." Students don't even need to have the physical robot, to learn to code virtually.   iRobot's resources include a virtual robot simulator! Lisa, Anna and Rebecca talked about their experiences, shared the story of iRobot's Root® Coding Robot and offered a look at the upcoming resources iRobot will be offering in the near future. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How Lisa, Anna and Rebecca first became engaged in robotics; The story of the Root® Coding Robot; A look at some of the educational resources which iRobot offers; Considerations involved for Anna, as she creates lessons for the Root robot; Some of her sources of creative inspiration in this process; Advice for teachers who are just getting started, teaching  and learning with the coding interface; A look at how the robot can work, for participants of all ages; How the three "Learn Levels" work; Some of the arts-related activities that will get everyone coding and having fun!; How iRobot is reaching out to classrooms all around the country, and reaching underserved students with coding training; How the "virtual robot" works, for students who may not have the physical resources; Some of the ways iRobot is supporting teachers, especially those new to coding; Upcoming new programs and resources (which are constantly being updated) and how to access them; Some favorite creative experiences which Rebecca, Anna and Lisa had with the Root®. Check out iRobot's free curricula on their webpage.  And don't miss a chance to program their virtual robot simulator!   Here's where to subscribe to iRobot's newsletter!

Today, I want to introduce you to another wonderful human being whose story is as powerful as it is inspirational. Lisa DeLugo is a certified running coach, nutrition coach, and host of her own podcast, ‘Not Another Mother Runner’. She has a B.S in Biology, an M.A. in Counselling and Community Psychology, and, after overcoming a difficult divorce and other obstacles as a single mom, she now combines her education and life lessons to share them and inspire, motivate and empower other women. In our very real and raw conversation, we begin by looking at how Lisa has managed through the past year and how she’s doing today, and then we delve deeply into her story. She walks us through the challenges experienced in her marriage and divorce as well as the role that running played and continues to play in her life. We also explore her desire to feel everything and learn from it, coming to terms with being on her own, bringing her therapy background into her coaching, and her current perspective on relationships. Lisa also movingly shares what she feels her daughter sees in her, and finishes by letting us know what she is up to these days. As you will quickly learn, Lisa DeLugo is a true badass whose gift of ‘empowering women through fitness and health and everything in between’ is undeniable, and is clearly on full display here today. Please remember, if there is ever a topic you would like me to discuss or a guest to interview on the podcast, please feel free to contact me at pr@kellytravis.net - I would love to hear from you!

On top of being a BCEN Distinguished Award winning pediatric emergency nurse, our guest today has made it her mission to educate and empower other nurses to reach their full potential as well. Lisa Chambers is a clinical educator and registered nurse at what was the fourth busiest children’s hospital in the United States, pre-COVID. Lisa finds joy in even the most challenging parts of her job and her passion to help others is unwavering. In today’s episode we discuss the ways in which Lisa breaks down barriers in education and how she helps other nurses to find their purpose and the motivation they need to excel.

Lisa Cummings is the Clifton Strengths Finder Strength Coach, who 100% believes that it's a lot better to become great at what you are good at and leave behind the poor stuff. She has built an amazing coaching business all around the work done by Gallup as we discovered the last time she appeared on the show back on episode 510 . As she says "I sometimes call myself the Chief Strengths Sleuth because I spend my days uncovering hidden talents on your teams. Remember that song "It's Your Thing" by the Isley Brothers? I use those lyrics like a spotlight glass to amplify people's differentiators. It's how I help you and your team figure out "your thang" so you can be more productive at work. Starting her career as a Sales Executive for Business To Business back in 1998, it appears that the path best trodden for her actually started when moving into staff development. Like myself she has spent most of her working life, building the strengths of individuals in corporations to make better, higher functioning teams. Getting people to feel inspired by the working day instead of dreading that ringing sound by the side of the bed. How The Dots Joined Up For Lisa But what interests me is what personally was driving her back in the day. As with a career strewn with employment lasting a couple of years at each time, it is clear to me that her ambition, was equally matched with a desire to find her thing too. And now as a podcaster herself, or as she calls herself the Chief Strengths Sleuth: Host of the “Lead Through Strengths”​ Podcast: she helps people find and leverage their strengths at work. Complimenting her workshops, keynote speaking and by performing a role of StrengthsFinder Performance Coach, which as you know is a publication that I have recommended many times on the show she is busier than ever.. So what is it about keynote strengths that lit her up inside and made her want to build a business around it? And with all the issues that the world has seen in the last year, has she found more personal strengths that she didn't have. So lets bring her onto the show to start joining up even more dots with the one and only Lisa Cummings Show Highlights During the show we discussed such deep subjects with Lisa Cummings such as: How Lisa and I both share how we both went through the dark times of entrepreneurship and the steps we took to climb back into the light. Why you should only do the things that fill you up with energy and not depletes you. and lastly...... Why your strengths can be so powerful in every area, but can also be used for evil and work against you if you are not careful.

When it comes to how to make the RV Lifestyle a reality, it's as simple a matter as deciding "I will." Not "someday." Not "I hope." I will. That's what our guests on this week's podcast said. And did. And today, Lisa Maas and her husband Dr. Gary Daniel, are traveling the nation in a Class C motorhome, experiencing all the joys and fulfillment that comes from living out their passions to help others, while at the same time working remotely as they explore the country. You can listen to our RV Podcast Interview with them in the player below. Or keep scrolling down for a transcript. As the couple approached their retirement years, they wondered what to do. Both agreed that traveling in their RV was at the top of the list. But they wanted more than just travel. They wanted purpose. Dr. Gary is a longtime behavioral psychologist. He now practices from the road, working remotely and helping to motivate others to find their passions and purposes, often by embracing the RV Lifestyle. Lisa - wait for it!- has become a Professional Archer. She was a realtor and had a corporate job. Now, in her late 50s she plans to crisscross the country attending archery tournaments, competing for prize money, and selling a new line of clothing and archery gear she developed that is aimed just for women. The process they followed and the process they recommend to others has three simple but powerful steps. Step 1 - Count the Cost Don't go into this naive. Do your research. If you are planning to go full-time, realize that the RV Lifestyle is not cheap. It costs much more than many suggest and it takes emotional maturity to adapt to a life constantly on the move and away from family and traditional support systems. Step 2 - Make a decision Once you conclude you can afford it, don't waste time overthinking about it. Decide. Buy the RV. Make your travel plans. Book those reservations. Or don't. But decide and don't look back. If it doesn't work out, you can return to your previous life, the richer for the experience. Time moves very fast. Go for it. Step 3 - Stop with the what-ifs Don't hope this will work out. Say to your selves I will. I can. The power of positive affirmation is huge.  How to Make the RV Lifestyle a Reality - Lisa and Gary's Interview Here's an edited transcript of our interview with Lisa and Gary: Mike Wendland: Well, joining us now from Twin Falls, Idaho are Lisa and Gary, and we are delighted to have you guys on the program this week. How are you? , Dr. Gary Daniel: To be any better. Mike you'd have to have two of us. Mike Wendland: Well, I do have two of you, so I'm pretty excited. There are so many people who think they're going to retire, but you're not really quite ready to give all that up, but you almost feel a little guilty and just throwing yourselves into the party lifestyle of constantly vacationing. But we all need purpose. That's the way Jennifer and I like to tell people, and I think we can tell everybody through your story and particularly through your expertise, Dr. Gary. Lisa tell us your background. And then Gary we'll get into yours and, and then we'll get into the meat of this operation, which everybody wants to hear about how to really make the RV lifestyle fulfilling and everything you'd hoped it would be. And then some, so Lisa talk, start off with your story. How Lisa and Gary came to the RV Lifestyle Lisa Maas: Okay, thank you first for having us. I've had a really interesting life and an interesting story. I started out in the travel business after I graduated from college and traveled all over the United States and Canada as a guide and owning a travel agency. And then I retired from that. I didn't really want to travel out of a suitcase anymore and hotels and moved to Hawaii. I had never been there. I went there sight unseen and got into the real estate industry and became quite successful, then eventually owning my own agency.

As organizers and productivity professionals, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients prepare for inevitable challenges. But how can we best go about it, and what are some of the key challenges? To better understand this, along with how to help clients prepare for the unexpected, NAPO member and professional organizer, today’s guest is Lisa Witzleben. Lisa spent over 13 years working in logistics and worked alongside the State of Alaska, Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management as a logistics planner. She holds a Master’s of Science in Global Supply Chain Management and became a solopreneur in 2015, running Unclutter Me to assist clients in leading a simpler life through an intentional process of decluttering then organizing. Listen in as Lisa explains what stops people from preparing for known and unknown risks and what she does to help people face the unknown, create a plan, and act on it, all while providing support and fostering a sense of safety. Lisa also has some key tips for getting your own preparation plans in order, starting with a “go folder”, which she describes in detail. Both business owners and individuals can learn a lot from this episode, so make sure to tune in today!   Key Points From This Episode: Lisa starts by asserting our ability to take control of situations, both known and unknown. [00:03:06] The one thing that stops people from preparing for known risks, says Lisa, is fear. [00:04:42] What business owners can do to help people in positions of fear and overwhelm. [00:08:09] The importance of starting the conversation around support and organization with clients. [00:03:06] Lisa explains why no one necessarily wants to talk about preparedness. [00:10:33] An example of how Lisa uses to start this conversation with her clients, and how she works with them, step-by-step. [00:12:46] Letting her clients know she can help them face the unknown, create a plan, and act on it. [00:14:06] How Lisa creates urgency about acting while also fostering a sense of safety by being direct. [00:18:22] While not specific, Lisa has a rough list of the unknowns that must be prepared for – from minor healthcare issues to natural disasters. [00:21:22] Why holding her clients accountable is another crucial part of the process. [00:24:28] The starting point Lisa suggests is creating a “go folder”, and she explains it in depth. [00:26:39] Digital versus physical, and why Lisa highly recommends having physical copies. [00:28:43] What COOP means, and why business owners should be aware of it in preparing for their own unknowns. [00:31:44] Conversations to have with your employees about these unknowns, large or small.

This week’s amazing guest is Lisa Wimberger. Lisa is the founder of Neurosculpting and co-founder of NeuroPraxis….and her story behind her work is incredibly profound. On her 15th birthday, Lisa underwent a rare trauma experience of being struck by lightning directly on the base of her spine. With it being such a rarity, this trauma escaped the acknowledgment of reality for years...aside from ongoing seizures that occurred ever since. With each recurring episode worsening and intensifying over time, Lisa didn’t come to a full understanding of what was truly going on until her 30s, when she had a heartstopping moment (literally!) at a routine doctor’s exam. It was then that she launched herself into discovering the ways in which her body worked, the organs it comprised, and the responses it controlled so she could rewrite her script and conquer her condition. In this insightful and high-powered episode, Lisa and I get into…. What neuroplasticity is and why it’s so important for our path to self-optimization The variations of stress and how to use them to enhance productivity The power found in meditation and hypnotherapy (combining to bring you Neurosculpting) What fuels the juiciness of passion and how desperation can be a wild motivator to healing The 5 step program Lisa uses to rework the brain’s stress response (fight, flight, freeze) How Lisa wrote her own script, rehearsed it, and won her fight against seizures once and for all Finding affirmations that resonate and prove physiological, mental, and emotional results There are so many rad and powerful takeaways in this episode. And it’s so fascinating, as Lisa and I talk about, that we were given these bodies without any “instructor’s manuals.” It’s up to us to learn about them, tune into our collective experiences, and empower our mindset. It’s essentially our responsibility to own our health and create the remedies that will revitalize our well-being.  There are many valuable sparks of inspiration + insights in this talk that are supportive of your health, wellbeing + empowering your MINDSET. ENJOY xRx PS. #QUEENDOM⚡️ is officially open❣️To all my badass girls here who are ready to take their #SELFLOVE,  #SELFCONFIDENCE + SELFTRUST to #BLACKBELT status; let’s DO THIS. Queendom⚡️ is both your supportive community + the empowered journey that will get you there- with me as your TEAMMATE.

Lisa had a massive stroke at age 30. Her husband fought and overcame prostate cancer. Lisa's daughter has struggled through debilitating mental health issues. Lisa Wolny has overcome a lot of tragedy in her life. She has a depth of courage and perseverance that most people don't. But she feels that the last 10 years were the training ground for what will be the greatest build in her network marketing career. Listen to this episode of My Extra Mile with David T.S. Wood as they discuss her journey through life and network marketing. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   Why Lisa got into network marketing What she learned before she was “all in” How to prepare to pivot and adjust Lisa's secret weapon: The WGAS Factor How Lisa navigated her business's sudden decline Why Lisa started teaching trainings on “How to Save Money” How her business carried her family forward How Lisa became a network marketer   Lisa hit rock bottom. After recovering from a stroke and trying to handle four children, Lisa was desperate for a solution for her health. Lisa was being heavily recruited to become a network marketer, but it wasn't until she hit rock-bottom that she was ready to give it a shot. She needed flexibility and income, so why not? She understood the numbers quickly and thought “Who wouldn't want to do this?”   David believes in the right vehicle at the right time with the right you. You have to be ready for it.   The product experience that she had is what changed her mind. She wanted to be a better version of herself. When she saw the numbers and paired it with her experience, she felt she had a responsibility to impact thousands of lives. She wanted to share the message with the world. So, she went all-in on network marketing. Network marketing is about pouring into other people   Lisa's first year was all about herself. It was about getting her transformation down. But during that process, she enrolled a ton of people. She was all in—but not all-in to pouring into other people. She made $27,000 from home her first year while becoming the best version of herself physically.   Then she went to an event and started questioning, “How does this really work?” She figured out what she needed to do. It had to stop being about her and become about other people. The next year she made $133,000.   The next year her father-in-law passed away. Her mother-in-law has dementia, so they took her in. It was a huge transition. It was the first time she had to rely on residual income. It's usually during a crisis that you realize the impact of that residual income.  When she was out of commission caring for her mother-in-law, her income didn't drop. The two years of hard work she put in kept her afloat. Her team was working, her customers were ordering, and the work she put in was her saving grace.   She spent 5 years building her business from there. In 6 years, she hit the $1 million mark. She drew inspiration from other leaders that went before her. She modeled after those who had success. She never doubted that she'd find success. Her first check was $7. But she told people she was going to be a millionaire in her company. Her neighbor told her “I have no doubt that you will.” As long as you believe it, it's game on. Life is full of roadblocks—so you change course   Lisa has had more than her share of adversity to overcome. In 2017, her daughter became very ill and was hospitalized. Her parents were ill. Her husband was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. Her youngest son got severely sick. But her income was still coming in.   While it could be easy to wish that 2017 never happened, it opened up so many beautiful things. Her husband educates other men on prostate cancer awareness. Her daughter is bipolar and has shared her story to help other people. She's an advocate for the LGBTQ community. They've spent 4 years pouring into people that are struggling. Which, in turn, helped them get through everything that's happened.   Lisa continues to face challenges, but her level of belief and her faith pushes her through. In this episode, Lisa talks about how she's navigating the ebbs and flow of business. She talks about how to go deep and ask yourself powerful questions. She even delves into saving money and what she's looking forward to in her future. Do not miss this one! Connect with Lisa Wolny Lisa's website Lisa's book: The Identity Shift Connect with David T.
