Michael Hein, MS, MD, MHCM, Associate Certified Coach (ACC), believes that when healthcare leaders don't fully understand complexity, it leads to burnout, turnover, and poor patient care—issues he considers preventable forms of human suffering. Healthcare is more complex than ever, and traditional top-down methods often exacerbate these challenges. Success today requires leaders who adapt, absorb uncertainty, and react quickly. For many, this means embracing new leadership mindsets. With over thirty years of experience in healthcare, Michael is Senior Vice President and an executive coach at MEDI Leadership, the top healthcare coaching firm in the US. Drawing from clinical and executive roles, he helps leaders make the mindset shifts needed for success in complexity.Previously, Michael was CEO of a nonmerger hospital network and Chief Medical Officer at Catholic Health Initiatives. He led transformations at the Veterans Health Administration and cofounded KPI Ninja, a healthcare data company.Michael holds degrees from the University of South Dakota, Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and St. Cloud State University. He is a certified executive coach through the International Coaching Federation, trained at the Hudson Institute of Coaching. His experience bridges frontline care and strategic leadership, coaching leaders to drive sustainable change in complex organizations.His book, Shifting Toward Unorthodoxy: Ten Unconventional Mindsets that HelpHealthcare Leaders Succeed in a Complex World, encourages a shift from outdated leadership mindsets to adaptive ones. A lifelong athlete, Michael enjoys cycling and swimming.Link to claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3DXCFW3CME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Phyllis Sisenwine discuss:The importance of networking and relationship-building for professional growthEffective time management and productivity strategiesHow to leverage speaking engagements and visibility opportunitiesThe role of follow-up, asking for referrals, and accountability in business development Key Takeaways:Interruptions can cost lawyers over an hour of billable time each day, so using strategies like time blocking, decluttering workspaces, and tackling the hardest tasks first ensures greater focus and productivity.Networking becomes far more effective when approached strategically by going early to events, bringing a buddy for support, wearing a professional nametag, and consistently following up multiple times to turn introductions into trusted relationships.Speaking engagements generate real business opportunities only when lawyers prepare by connecting with attendees beforehand, personalizing their talks with stories, gathering contact details, and following up afterward to continue the relationship.Lawyers often miss out on referrals because clients assume they are too busy, so they must directly but naturally ask for introductions by framing it as a way to be helpful and showing they want more clients like the ones they already serve. "You really can't be afraid to swing that bat. You want to be a successful lawyer. You can't be afraid to network, to reach out to big referral partners and just take risks." —  Phyllis Sisenwine Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In this episode, I am joined by Sharon Collon from The Functional Family. We discuss ADHD coaching and how it works to support students living with ADHD, their teachers and families. We focus on practical strategies for supporting executive function, increasing engagement, dealing with emotions, and solving predictable problems. Sharon is an award-winning, credentialed ADHD Coach & Parent Consultant (who is families trained). She is passionate about helping families navigating ADHD create joyful, functional lives with ADHD. She loves anything that makes life easier with ADHD! Her husband and her three sons all live with ADHD (throw in some Autism, Tourettes, ODD, OCD, SPD and SLD too). As well as Sharon's lived experience, she has been researching ADHD for over 17 years, studied at ADDCA in New York and is PCC credentialed with the International Coaching Federation. Sharon has runs on the board, assisting over 40,000 families since The Functional Family was created.  Sharon has won multiple awards, including Business Awards – Outstanding Education Service, AusMumpreneur – Disabled Business Excellence, People's Choice Leadership, People's Choice Making a Difference and the Cook's Community Award. Sharon lives in Southern Sydney and enjoys being near the sea, spending one-on-one time with her boys and her two boxer dogs… who are more like living cartoon characters than dogs.

During this call, Sharon will learn more about you and provide information about what services best suit your needs. Show notes I invited Sharon on because ADHD and learning difficulties often go hand in hand, with around 40% of people living with ADHD also living with dyslexia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia. We know that attention, attitude and positive relationships have a significant impact on learning outcomes, particularly for students living with learning difficulties. Sharon shares some fantastic strategies for engaging students and supporting their (and our) mental health. What does an ADHD coach do? We start by looking at what ADHD coaching covers. It's about making day-to-day life easier for students living with ADHD and their families and teachers. That includes things like time awareness, transitions, getting started on tasks, and building routines that actually work. Coaching is not therapy. It's focused on how you make practical day-to-day activities easier. One of the big ideas in Sharon's work is “predictable problems.” These are the same kinds of friction points that show up every day like getting dressed, brushing teeth, leaving the house and doing homework. The example Sharon gives about the toothbrush is a great one. The assumption was that it was a sensory issue. But it turned out the real problem was needing to go back upstairs after breakfast. The solution? Move the toothbrush downstairs. Done. Co-designing solutions A big part of Sharon's process is co-designing solutions with the child. When students living with ADHD have a say, they often come up with smart ideas, and they're more likely to stick with them if they've been part of designing the solution. You'll hear us talk a lot about building autonomy and doing the planning when everyone is regulated. Not during the heat of the moment. What do Pinball Flippers have to do with ADHD? Sharon also explains her brilliant “Pinball Flippers Open / Closed / Neutral” model. It's a way to quickly understand what state a student is in and how to respond. When a brain is open, it can take things in. When it's closed, it's overwhelmed and in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode. Our job is to help open the brain through praise, encouragement, novelty and whatever it takes to get our students engaged and open to learning. We also talk about how to support students in tutoring and classroom settings. I share one of my own strategies a collaborative whiteboard story that students add to each week. This builds in anticipation and (almost) guarantees a positive start to each session. Sharon suggests small “important jobs” like delivering a note to the office to give students a chance to regulate and reset. She also talks about planning exits in advance, so students don't wait until they're overwhelmed to step away. Body-doubling (getting expert help like tutors) can help a lot. Kids often respond well to the novelty of an external person, and as parents, we can't take on everything! Homework – often a predictable problem Homework is a big, predictable problem for many students. For younger students, Sharon often works with families to step away from homework altogether unless it's something that really matters. For older students, she focuses on breaking tasks down, setting time limits, and choosing the right time of day to work. Often, that's not after dinner! Five-minute entries work well: “Let's give it five minutes, and if it's awful, we'll stop.” And if you say five minutes, you stop at five minutes. That trust matters. We also touch on rewards and motivation. Reward charts with delayed incentives usually don't land well for students living with ADHD. “Now” matters. “Not now” doesn't. Immediate wins, visible progress, and having the end in sight make a much bigger difference. Throughout the episode, you'll hear both of us come back to the same idea: home needs to be a safe space. School can be full-on, especially for students living with learning difficulties. If home feels the same, there's nowhere for kids to self-regulate and get a break from the demands of school. Sharon's approach is all about reducing pressure, supporting regulation, and building routines that give everyone, kids and adults, more gas in the tank.

Today on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of separating ourselves from bad influences. As followers of Christ, it’s crucial to surround ourselves with a community of fellow Christ-followers, as being surrounded by a worldly community can significantly influence our walk with Christ. We see this affirmed in 1 Kings 12, where we see how a young king, Rehboam, took the advice of bad influencers, and it led to destruction. We then turned to the phone lines to hear stories about good and bad influences from our listeners. Then we had Dr. Geoff and Cyd Holsclaws join us to talk about the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and spiritual formation. The Holsclaws are hosts of the podcast Attaching to God and wrote the book, “Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.” Dr. Geoff has also authored several other books and is a visiting professor of theology at Western Theological Seminary. At the same time, Dr. Cyd is a Spiritual Director and a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach with the International Coaching Federation. She is also a Certified NLP Master Practitioner and Master Coach. We also had Asheritah Ciuciu join us to talk about being sensitive to the presence of God in our lives and embracing it. Asheritah is a national speaker, bestselling author, and founder of One Thing Alone Ministries, an online ministry that helps overwhelmed women find joy in Jesus. She also has a YouTube Channel where she posts guided prayers, bible tips, and other resourceful videos. She has also authored several books, including “Delighting in Jesus-Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Podcast Notes   Episode 478 Brushstrokes & Breakthroughs with Mark Ross Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Mark Ross Date: August 14th, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller talks with Mark Ross — a coach, artist, and founder of Next Thing Group — about the parallels between painting and coaching, the value of curiosity, and the journey of navigating career transitions. Mark shares how art serves as a creative escape and a process of discovery, while coaching provides a similar space for exploration and growth. He recounts how burnout in his former career led him to seek coaching, eventually becoming a coach himself, and emphasizes the power of intentional relationships and openness to new opportunities. Key Highlights: Mark's art process mirrors coaching — both involve starting without knowing the exact outcome and staying curious throughout. Painting serves as a form of mental reset, drawing Mark into a world of focus, experimentation, and discovery. Mark's transition into coaching began during a period of burnout, sparked by guidance from influential mentors like Dan Miller. The International Coaching Federation's (ICF) competencies gave Mark a clear framework to assess and grow his coaching skills. Relationships and intentional conversations have been the driving force behind Mark's personal and professional growth. Takeaways: Creativity and coaching both thrive in environments of openness, exploration, and adaptability. Burnout can serve as a catalyst for reinvention when paired with intentional action and mentorship. Structured professional standards, like those from ICF, can provide valuable benchmarks for skill development. Building genuine relationships through curiosity-driven conversations can open unexpected doors and opportunities.

In 2023, Dale fully immersed herself in her health and wellness journey, becoming a certified wellness coach by attending the National Academy of Sports Medicine's Wellness Coaching certification program. She is working on her Nutrition Coaching certification through the same organization and is expected to graduate in October 2025.  Through her opportunities to coach and educate others on their health and wellness journey, Dale has committed to fighting against and dispelling the misinformation that companies and uninformed individuals are spreading to the community of people desperately looking to improve themselves.Walter Sellers, a seasoned expert with 25 years in the health and fitness industry, is the visionary founder behind The Butterfly Effect Studio for Training.

Dr. Laura welcomes Kirkland Shave, co-founder of the Mountain Trek health reset retreat, and Dr. Kelly Tremblay, neuroscientist and certified coach, to Where Work Meets Life™to explore the connection between holistic health, burnout prevention, and the mind-body connection. Kelly and Kirk discuss the prevalence of stress and burnout in today's society and our lack of meaningful connection to nature and our own bodies and minds. Dr. Laura investigates these issues from a neurological perspective and a practical wellness approach with both Kelly and Kirk, learning what can be done to reset our healing.Forest bathing, flow trekking and sensory health practices that involve engaging with sound, scent, and visual natural experiences are all part of the conversation. Connecting with our senses and the reality of nature while separating ourselves from screens and demands can dramatically reduce stress and enhance brain function. While Kelly shares neuroscience research linking stress to actual structural brain changes, Kirk offers transformative stories from Mountain Trek, where guests can unplug from digital overload. Dr. Laura highlights the importance of understanding the causes of our burnout and how we can take control to heal our body and mind.“You've probably heard about it's Shinrin-yoku, a Japanese-researched way of being moment to moment, mindful of the sensorial information that's coming through our sense organs into the brain. And you're doing that in nature, and you're in a state of flow… where you're not thinking about other things. You're paying attention to what do I see? Or what do I see in motion in front of me? Or what do I hear out of this ear versus this ear? Or what do I smell as I go by the bark of this tree? Or which direction is the sun landing on my skin? These moment-to-moment awarenesses have been proven to lower the stress hormone cortisol. The Japanese researched this, and the main reason why they did this research is because in the 80s, as the tech industry took off in Japan, people were working 12-hour days already that we're working now, and the work burnout was through the roof.” - Kirkland ShaveAbout Kirkland Shave:Kirkland Shave, founder and president of the world-renowned Mountain Trek program, now offers off-site interactive and eye-opening workshops — grounded in anthropological health science — to help professionals integrate lasting steps in reaching optimal wellness. With an inspiring, practical, and actionable message, Kirkland helps people see their own health through a fresh and practical lens.With half- and full-day interactive health workshops and keynote presentations — designed specifically for a corporate audience — held at your company's headquarters, Kirkland's life-changing interactive presentation can be tailored to meet a number of health issues: Fitness, Nutrition, De-Stressing, Sleep Hygiene, Physical and Digital Detoxification, Habit Formation, Mindfulness.His proven approach increases energy, productivity, and establishes long-lasting health habits. The program incorporates scientific anthropology blended with a distinctly mountain-centric approach to health. With 18 years' experience as president and founder of Mountain Trek's holistic health and vitality program, Kirkland brings more than 40 years of health-focused lifestyle expertise, with experience as a fitness instructor, lead hiking guide, wellness coach, Wilderness Park Manager, yoga instructor and meditation practitioner.Kirkland's off-site workshops for executives and employees have been hosted by leading organizations, such as Google, Young Presidents Organization of Western Canada, Fortis Gas, the CEO Network, European Entrepreneurs Organization, and more. Contact Kirkland Shave and Mountain Trek:Website: MountainTrek.com  https://mountaintrek.com/Instagram: @mountaintrek https://www.instagram.com/mountaintrek/Facebook: @mountaintrek https://www.facebook.com/mountaintrekInstagram: @mountaintrek  https://www.instagram.com/mountaintrekLinkedIn: Mountain-Trek  https://www.linkedin.com/company/mountain-trek/YouTube: YouTube.com/MountainTrek  https://www.youtube.com/mountaintrekKirkland Shave on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkland-shave-66865b29/TripAdvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g499116-d223075-Reviews-Mountain_Trek_Fitness_Retreat_Health_Spa-Ainsworth_Hot_Springs_Kootenay_Rockies_British.htmlAbout Dr. Kelly Tremblay, MSc PhD CEC-ACC:Dr. Trembly is committed to making aging better by innovating in the areas of health, tech, and education through leadership, research, and advocacy.She is a consultant, neuroscientist and clinical audiologist who has worked in healthcare, tech, and higher education for 25+ years.

"So by that definition, all stories are useful. The question is: to what end?" Jay Perry   Jay Perry and I explored what happens when we begin to see story not as decoration or distraction, but as data - the language we use to survive, connect and create. Jay shared his definition that “a story is language put to use” and reminded us that “all stories are useful” - the real question being to what end? Together we examined how some stories serve connection, while others become what Jay calls “story infections” - narratives shaped by fear, judgement or diminishment. We talked about the stories that get “archived,” the ones that still run in the background long after we've outgrown them and what it means to interrupt or catch those stories before they shape our choices. Jay also introduced Storysphere, his community platform for engaging with stories consciously and creatively.    Jay Perry, (aka Wonder Man), has spent the last 45+ years creating communities to explore how to make the most of our human experience. In addition to Storycatchers he has created The Actors' Information Project, The Coaching Collective, The Listening Games, and Wonder-shops. He also participated in the creation of Coach University and the International Coaching Federation. Jay is a Master Coach (MCAC), personal champion and creative partner for performers, artists, entrepreneurs, and the neurodiverse community. He is known as one of the world's leading mentors for new coaches seeking professional certification. He is currently on the teaching faculty of The ADD Coaching Academy and the Board of Directors for the Re-Entry Coaching Academy. As co-author of Take Charge of Your Talent: three Keys to Thriving in Your Career, Organization, and Life, Jay has led workshops for thousands of people around the world on diverse topics such as business planning, leader­ship, transformational change, personal mastery, coaching skills, communication, and career planning.

Podcast Notes Episode 465 Creating Space for Awareness Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC and Chad Hall, MCC Date: May 15, 2025 In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries podcast, Brian Miller and Chad Hall dive deep into the core coaching competency of evoking awareness. They explore how the International Coaching Federation reframed this concept to shift the focus away from simply asking questions and toward generating new insight and understanding for clients. The conversation includes practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real-world examples to help coaches foster meaningful breakthroughs. Key Highlights The Evolution of a Core Competency: The ICF shifted from emphasizing “powerful questioning” to “evoking awareness,” highlighting that questions are just one of many tools to spark insight. The Role of Deep Listening: Evoking awareness begins with truly listening — not just to words, but to tone, patterns, and what's left unsaid — with a deep sense of curiosity. Avoiding Entrenchment: Coaches should be careful not to challenge clients in ways that provoke defensiveness; gentle observations or reframing can lead to more open exploration. Multiple Paths to Awareness: Beyond questions, awareness can be evoked through metaphors, observations, reframing, or offering models and distinctions (like the “3 Ps” for leadership issues). Shifting the Coaching Mindset: Tools like the hourglass model are not instructions for the coach but frameworks to understand and support the client's thought journey. Takeaways Awareness is the goal, not the question itself — be flexible in your approach. Curiosity is foundational: great coaches listen beyond the surface. Evoking awareness means meeting the client where they are, even if that's uncertainty or resistance. Effective coaching requires patience — allow clients the space to discover rather than forcing insights.   Evoking Awareness eCourse Available for $79 at http://coachapproachministries.org/awareness    Stay Connected: Website: coachapproachministries.org Email: info@coachapproachministries.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538 Follow us on social media for updates and resources!

Today, I interview Holly MacCue, who used to walk into work feeling sick with dread, afraid she would be exposed as a fraud. Even after being recognized by her boss as a “shining star,” she couldn't shake the fear that she didn't belong. A high achiever since childhood, Holly placed enormous pressure on herself to succeed—and it eventually made her physically ill. She lost her voice to laryngitis, and with it came a wake-up call: something had to change.As a sensitive, creative child, Holly had always expressed herself through writing, but she was never the loudest in the room. She was thoughtful, disciplined, and driven. Though her parents never pushed her, she pushed herself hard. That drive followed her into adulthood, until one day, sitting at dinner with friends, she thought, “I guess I'll just be happy when I retire.” That moment cracked something open.She began redefining what success meant to her. She left corporate life, started her own business, and gradually built a life aligned with her values. The turning point deepened when her newborn daughter struggled with undiagnosed health issues. Despite being dismissed by professionals, Holly trusted her instincts and fought to be heard. That experience became a powerful lesson in using her voice for what matters.Today, Holly helps entrepreneurs do the same. Through her Magnetic Selling Method, she shows them how to speak clearly, connect deeply, and stop hiding. Her message is simple: your voice already exists—what matters is choosing how to use it.__________________Holly MacCue is a Sales and Messaging Strategist for service-based entrepreneurs, running a multi–six-figure business while raising two young children.

So unlike regular generosity, which can feel really great and benefit our relationships, people pleasing tends to be a chronic pattern of behavior that really negatively affects us over time. And the costs are high. First of all, because we're always centering other people and putting them first, we become really disconnected from ourselves. So we struggle to access our own dreams, our own desires, our own needs, and that can lead to life feeling kind of hollow and one dimensional. On top of that, our emotional health can suffer because we're often over committe...

Keren Eldad is an executive coach, speaker, author, and mentor to high achievers. She helps them break free from burnout, escape the perfectionism trap, and redefine success and true fulfillment on their own terms.Keren's journey began with her own wake-up call. Despite holding a prestigious C-suite role, being in a marriage that looked perfect on Instagram, and living what seemed like a dream life, she found herself deeply unfulfilled. Trapped in what she now calls a “gilded cage,” she realized that no amount of external success could fill an internal void. After years of personal transformation, she now helps others escape the relentless pursuit of more and build lives filled with purpose and joy. She's been named a Top 10 Executive Coach by the International Coaching Federation and is the author of her most recent book, Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More.In this week's episode, we chat with Keren about the hidden struggles of high achievers, including perfectionism, self-judgment, and the pressure to always do more.

She also shares why self-compassion is key to real growth, how recognizing burnout and unfulfillment can be the first step to real change, and how shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset can open the door to more happiness and success.
