In a world defined by uncertainty-funding cuts, global instability, and constant change-what if doubt isn't something to overcome, but something to lead with?In this episode, I sit down with Marc A. Pitman, founder of Concord Leadership Group and a leading voice in nonprofit leadership, fundraising, and executive coaching.With more than two decades of experience coaching CEOs and training over 25,000 leaders across the globe, Marc brings a deeply practical and refreshingly human approach to leadership. He is also the author of Ask Without Fear! and his latest book, The Surprising Gift of Doubt.At a time when nonprofit leaders are facing unprecedented challenges such as shrinking funding streams, rising demand for services, team burnout, and global instability, Marc offers a powerful reframe: doubt is not a liability. It's a leadership advantage.In this conversation, we explore how leaders can navigate ambiguity without losing clarity, make thoughtful decisions without perfect information, and foster trust even when the future feels uncertain. Marc shares practical frameworks, coaching insights, and real-world examples to help nonprofit professionals turn uncertainty into a source of strength rather than stress.Whether you're leading an organization, managing a team, or responsible for fundraising in a volatile environment, this episode will challenge how you think about confidence, control, and what it truly means to lead.

AI is changing the way organizations think about performance, coaching, and day-to-day work. Yet for many teams, the challenge is not simply adopting new technology. It's understanding how to use AI in a way that feels practical and genuinely useful for the people doing the work. In this episode of Bring Out the Talent, we're joined by Tim Harrison, executive coach, founder of the Coaching Innovation Lab, and one of eight experts selected for the International Coaching Federation's Global Task Force on AI. Tim works with organizations to help leaders and teams integrate AI into their workflows in ways that support growth, strengthen capability, and keep humans at the center of the process. We discuss how organizations can build confidence with AI, where leaders often get adoption wrong, and why the people closest to the work are often best positioned to discover meaningful use cases. Tim also shares his “Do GOOD DEEDS” framework, a practical approach to experimenting with AI in ways that create measurable value without overwhelming teams. Throughout the episode, we discuss how AI can amplify human strengths rather than replace them, why access and experimentation matter more than perfection, and how organizations can move from fear and hesitation to curiosity and momentum. From executive coaching and leadership development to productivity, workflow design, and organizational change, this conversation focuses on what AI adoption actually looks like in practice today.

What if work-life balance feels impossible not because of your schedule, but because of what's happening inside your head? In episode 259 of Joy Found Here, international life coach Rebecca Olson unpacks why so many ambitious working moms are stuck — and it starts with asking better questions. From her own motherhood identity crisis to coaching thousands of parents through theirs, she makes the case that balance isn't a dream. It's a skill set.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(04:50) The motherhood identity crisis that made Rebecca a coach (07:46) When ambition and new motherhood feel like an impossible battle (10:36) Why the guiltiest generation is also the most present (13:05) The workplace bias against working moms that won't quit (16:02) The two conversations working moms keep conflating (21:34) The one question Rebecca asks to cut through the noise (25:42) Work-life balance is a feeling state, not a calendar fix (28:03) Clarity, Confidence, and Control — Rebecca's 3 C's unpacked (39:20) Why you never think in fact — and the flashlight vs. floodlight shift (43:44) Retraining your thoughts with Rebecca's Daily KickstartRebecca Olson is a Certified Professional Life Coach, international keynote speaker, and host of the podcast Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms. A member of the International Coaching Federation, she has spent seven years helping career-focused parents stop feeling overwhelmed and "not enough" — so they can be present at home without sacrificing their ambitions. Her passion was ignited by her own motherhood identity crisis, which led her to leave a successful corporate career and go all-in on coaching. Through her signature group program and weekly podcast, she has helped thousands of working parents redefine success on their own terms and build the skillset for real work-life balance.In this episode, Rebecca shares her framework for helping working moms untangle two conversations that constantly get conflated: what do I actually want from my career, and how do I manage the chaos of my current life? She introduces her 3 C's — Clarity, Confidence, and Control — making the case that lasting balance starts from the inside out: get clear on what success means to you, build an internal voice that supports your decisions, then develop the emotional regulation to follow through. She reframes work-life balance not as a calendar problem but as a feeling state driven by thought — illustrated by her flashlight-vs.-floodlight metaphor — and closes by sharing her free Daily Kickstart, a 10-minute daily practice designed to retrain thought patterns and build the mindset muscle working moms actually need.Connect with Rebecca Olson:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubePodcast: Ambitious and Balanced Working MomsThe Working Mom's Daily Kickstart: A simple morning practice to stay ahead of stress and overwhelm – so you feel in control of your time, your mindset, and your priorities.Let's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, L. Michelle and I discuss: L. Michelle's remarkable professional journey — from making VP before 30 and SVP before 40, to running her own agency for nearly a decade, to becoming one of the most sought-after leadership strategists and executive coaches in the country The two pivotal moments that sparked the book — including a stunning black-and-white photograph handed to her by her mother on the eve of Thanksgiving, and a question asked after a keynote that garnered 25 million social media impressions The Call & Response Leadership Revival Framework — built on three pillars: history and culture, applied science, and leadership theory — and how those three work together Why this is emphatically NOT a faith-based leadership book — and why that distinction matters deeply The ten leadership lessons spanning three domains — Self, Relationships, and Impact — and how each one is anchored in neuroscience and positive psychology The central tension of the book: can the Black Church still sustain the leadership pipeline it once produced? How the book speaks directly to mid-career professionals navigating what I call the "Magical Middle" — and which leadership lesson they most often overlook And so much more!   L. Michelle's Personal Theme Song "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J Resources L.

Maybe today is the day you begin to see opportunities instead of limitations. Maybe today is the day you embrace the abundance that already exists within you.You were created for more. You were created for success, greatness, purpose, and destiny.In this episode, I challenge you to embrace your birthright of abundance and begin developing a mindset that aligns with the life you were designed to live.The coaching question for today is: What would you do if you had access to one million dollars?Welcome to the Winners For Life Coaching Podcast.

Are you willing to pay the price to walk in your greatness? Greatness is not accidental. It is intentional. It is cultivated. It is developed over time.Living an extraordinary life requires a decision, an internal commitment you make to yourself to become who you were designed and created to be. Greatness is not about ego. It is about obedience. It is about alignment. It is about fully stepping into your God given purpose.Greatness is a journey and a process. It requires discipline, growth, sacrifice, stretching, and faith. It requires you to evolve beyond comfort and commit to continuous development.You were placed in this world not to live average, but to walk boldly and confidently in your greatness.The price of greatness is growth. The price of greatness is consistency. The price of greatness is responsibility. The price of greatness is becoming.Your greatness is already inside of you. It must be tapped into and released. It must be developed, refined, and maximized. It must be strengthened through discipline and revealed through action.In this episode, I challenge you to embrace the journey, tap into your full potential, and maximize every gift, talent, and ability within you. Do not die with your greatness still inside of you. Walk in it. Live in it. Become it.The coaching question for today is: Are you willing to embrace the journey and pay the price to fully walk in your greatness?Welcome to the Winners For Life Coaching Podcast.

It is powerful.In this short meditation, I guide you to cherish, protect, and embrace your peace.

Stay focused on your assignment, your mission, your purpose, and your calling.Not everything that shines is meant for you. Some distractions may look good, but they are designed to pull you away from God and your destiny.We live in a world filled with constant noise and endless distractions. Not every opportunity is your assignment. Some distractions look good, sound good, and feel good, but they are designed to pull you away from what God has called you to do.In this episode, I challenge you to guard your focus and protect your purpose. Distraction does not always come in the form of something bad. Sometimes it comes as something good, but it is not good for you. If it pulls you away from God and your calling, it is a distraction.The primary purpose of distraction in your life and in this world is to shift your attention away from God and away from your assignment. You do not have to be destroyed to be defeated. You only need to be distracted.Shiny object syndrome causes many people to chase what glitters instead of committing to what they were called to build. When you lose focus, you delay progress. When you delay progress, you delay purpose.Welcome to the Winners For Life Coaching Podcast.

Burnout does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like a successful career, a stable job, and a life that makes sense on paper. And still, your body knows something is wrong. If you have ever found yourself in the middle of a midlife career shift, questioning your work, or wondering why you feel exhausted even when everything seems fine, this conversation will meet you right where you are.In this episode, I talk with Ellen Whitlock Baker about the quiet unraveling that led to her line-in-the-sand moment. Years of people-pleasing, pushing through, and trying to belong in systems that were never built for her finally caught up with her in the most unexpected place. Sitting in a theater, watching the musical Beetlejuice, Ellen broke down. Not because the show was sad, but because her body had reached its limit. What followed was a brave decision to walk away from a very stable job and begin rebuilding a life and career rooted in alignment instead of obligation.This is a story about workplace burnout and listening to yourself before everything falls apart. About honoring the signals you have learned to ignore. And about trusting that even when the next step feels risky, there is another way to live and work that does not cost you yourself.What You'll HearWhat burnout feels like before you have language for itHow belonging, or the lack of it, quietly shapes our career choicesThe moment Ellen's body finally said enoughWhy leaving a stable job can feel terrifying and deeply right at the same timeWhat rebuilding looks like when you choose alignment over approvalA reminder that it is not you that is broken; sometimes it is the systemGuest BioEllen Whitlock Baker is the founder and CEO of EWB Coaching, where she helps professionals learn how to prioritize themselves in a world that often tells them not to. With empathy and honesty at the center of her work, Ellen supports leaders in understanding their strengths and building careers that feel sustainable, human, and aligned.With more than 20 years of workplace experience and certification through the International Coaching Federation, Ellen works with individuals and organizations through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and courses. After navigating her own experiences with burnout and self-doubt, she is on a mission to help others never reach that breaking point. Ellen is also the host of the Hard at Work podcast, which identifies what isn't working in today's workplaces and explores how we might change them.Connect with EllenWebsite: https://ewbcoaching.comPodcast: https://hardatworkpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellenwhitlockbaker/Instagram: @ellenwbcoaching------Listen and follow: www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com/followSupport the show for ad-free and early release episodes: www.patreon.com/thelifeshiftpodcastSubscribe to the newsletter:
