In this episode, Phil and Salvatore Manzi delve into the art of communication, particularly in educational settings. They discuss the significance of building trust through authentic communication, the importance of engaging introductions, and the impact of presence on audience perception. Salvatore shares insights on overcoming imposter syndrome and the balance between planning and spontaneity in communication. The conversation also highlights the role of storytelling in effective communication and concludes with Salvatore's upcoming book, 'Clear and Compelling,' aimed at empowering individuals to express their authentic voices.   Glossophobia is a prevalent fear that affects many people. Effective communication is essential for creating impact and influence. Building trust with participants is crucial for facilitators. Vulnerability in communication fosters deeper connections. Engaging introductions can capture audience attention. Presence and body language significantly affect audience perception. Charisma can be developed and is not solely innate. Imposter syndrome can hinder effective communication. Practice and feedback are vital for improving communication skills. Storytelling is a powerful tool for engaging audiences.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Let's be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It's burning you out. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who've been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working. You'll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I've used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama. In this episode, I riff on: ↠ The real reason you're procrastinating (hint: it's not laziness) ↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote ↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards ↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices

In Ephesians, we see a powerful message about finding our true identity in Christ while standing firm in spiritual battles. This sermon shines a spotlight on Ephesians 6, urging us to recognize we inhabit not just a playground of faith, but a battleground where forces beyond our sight wage war against our destiny. Through personal stories of supernatural encounters, reminders of God's power, and scriptural truth, we learn that the key to victory is standing firm in God's strength, rather than our own.

It's pressure that corrupts.” “If nobody's giving you the full truth, what are the ways you might be going off track?” “When you're under pressure, do nothing.

What does that mean and how do you apply it?” 21:07 “What is a singular story and how do we rescue ourselves from believing them?” 26:20 “What's the ‘shut up muscle' and how do you develop it?” 29:02 “Can you think of ideas from the book that apply to parenting as well?” 31:44 End of Interview 32:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 37:40 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Sabina and her work at SabinaNawaz.com/book.

Even the most successful, driven experts can hit a wall—and often, it's not because of the wrong strategy or a missing skill. It's the hidden fears that stall high achievers when they step into growth mode – and it can quietly sabotage their momentum. In episode 446 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I unpack the most common fears I see show up for high-performing leaders, coaches, and changemakers as they expand their visibility, impact, and revenue.  These aren't surface-level fears that you commonly recognize - they're often disguised as a belief you just aren't ready, or a simple desire to appeal to more people. I'll show you how these hidden fears keep you stuck in a loop of hesitation,  burnout, and invisibility – and more importantly, how to shift into a bolder, confident mindset so you can lead with confidence and take aligned action again. If you're ready to unhook from sneaky fears and grow with momentum, this episode will guide you back into forward motion.   Key Takeaways:  [2:59] The invisible fears that keep high achievers in a cycle of overworking or hiding. [4:27] Why perfectionism can be a fear-based pattern disguised as “excellence.” [7:46] The fear of being seen—and why it often hides under people-pleasing. [11:28] How fear of success shows up in sneaky ways that keep you from scaling. [14:55] The cost of comparison and how it dilutes your voice and momentum. [17:40] The mindset shift that breaks the fear loop and activates bold visibility.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Authority Accelerator 6 month Cohort: Discover your Lighthouse Message, and your hottest selling offer, then amplify the reach of your message by borrowing other people's audiences.

“I realized- dam, I'm causing them shit now and I'm not able to take it…I almost need to save them from me now. I'll come save you from anybody, and now, I have to come save you from me.” Draymond Green In one of the most personal and revealing episodes of The Pivot Podcast, 4x NBA champion and outspoken leader Draymond Green joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for a raw, unfiltered conversation that dives deep into the mind of one of sports' most polarizing figures. Draymond opens up about his journey from Saginaw, Michigan to the NBA spotlight, the evolution of his role with the Golden State Warriors, and the challenge of balancing intensity with leadership. He reflects on the highs and lows of his career—including that infamous punch—and how holding teammates accountable has shifted into something deeper: holding himself to an even higher standard. He speaks candidly about the moments he regrets—on and off the court—and how his passion, at times unchecked, has shaped him as a teammate, a leader, and a man. Offering rare insight into who he is beyond the headlines, Draymond contrasts public perception with personal truth, sharing emotional stories of fatherhood, the sacrifices of family, and one pivotal moment that nearly made him walk away from the game he loves. He also addresses Steph Curry's recent admission of imposter syndrome—why it surprised him, and why it didn't—shedding light on the bond between teammates whose dynasty was fueled by doubt and relentless drive. Draymond also breaks down LeBron James' take on ring culture, offering clarity on a message he believes was misunderstood, and shares thoughts on KD's future and the shifting nature of loyalty in the NBA.
