Ever feel like you're stuck in the same patterns, unsure which way to go next? Wondering if there's more to life than just pushing through? In this episode, we talk about finding direction in life, how to break old habits and why getting unstuck in life often begins with learning how to lead from within.James Robbins is an International Keynote Leadership Speaker, founder, and author of The Call to Climb, a powerful book inviting you to lead your life with more intention, purpose, and inner clarity. He shares how tuning into your own “mountain”—that personal challenge or calling you're meant to face—can radically transform the way you live, lead, and serve others.This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt stuck, restless, or like something deeper is calling you to rise. James gives practical tools for identifying what that mountain is for you, how to listen to your inner voice, and why small, intentional steps matter so much more than you think. He also shares the story behind the book and how his own journey helped shape his message.We cover:

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with occupational health psychologist Dr. Christina Guthier, author of Joyfully Exhausted, about the often misunderstood concept of burnout. We discuss the idea that not all exhaustion is bad, explore the difference between joyful and harmful exhaustion, and examine the effort-reward imbalance that many self-employed people face. Christina emphasizes the importance of managing our energy and recovering from hidden efforts we may not even realize are draining us. Our conversation is a refreshing reminder that it's okay — and even healthy — to love your work, as long as you prioritize recovery and recognize your limits. Since childhood, Christina was fascinated to observe different states of exhaustion in adults after work (including unpaid care work). At Ruhr-University Bochum, she majored in organizational psychology, conducted corporate social responsibility (CSR) field-research as student assistant at the marketing department, and worked at eligo GmbH where she helped develop recruiting software. During her M.Sc. Psychology at Heidelberg University, she majored in Organizational Behaviour and Adaptive Cognition learning a lot about the complexity of performance ratings and leadership behavior as well as cognitive biases and decision heuristics. At the same time, Christina also completed her train-the-trainer certificate during her internship at the career services and development department at Mannheim Business School. Then she focused on occupational health psychology (particularly on burnout research) during her PhD at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. Christina's PhD thesis on "How to create healthier study and work environments" got awarded with the Alfred Teves dissertation award 2020. Additionally, her meta-analysis on the reciprocal relationship between job stressors and burnout (published in Psychological Bulletin) got awarded with the Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award 2022 by the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (division of the American Psychological Association). Finally, as a self-employed scientist, she has started to translate (her) research insights into actionable advice by giving a TEDx talk, getting interviewed for German media outlets (e.g., Der Spiegel, deutschlandfunk nova), and writing articles for different journals and magazines (e.g., Leader to Leader, change magazine). Additionally, she has supported organizations as a speaker, trainer, and coach with shifting their mindsets regarding exhaustion and recovery.

After NPR called me to weigh in on the Coldplay concert scandal and Astronomer's new viral ad starring Gwyneth Paltrow, a listener to the time to email to call me a “fussbucket.”You know what? I'll take it.Because here's the thing: clever marketing isn't a substitute for accountability. In this epsiode ofThe PR Breakdown, I explain why Astronomer's ad (produced by Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort and fronted by Gwyneth Paltrow) is a classic case of PR deflection wrapped in celebrity glitter.This episode unpacks:Why the real problem was never the kiss—it was the CEO-HR power dynamicThe danger of turning ethical breaches into punchlinesHow Maximum Effort's fastvertising campaign misread the assignmentWhat leadership accountability actually sounds like (hint: not “we've become a household name”)Want to learn what separates a temporary distraction from a lasting reputation hit?

https://youtu.be/w1ZbzfSrdFk Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, is driven by a mission to help people overcome challenges and find the clarity to act. His Marathon Mindset Framework includes Purpose, Preparation, Pace, and Perseverance—four guiding principles that help individuals and teams sustain momentum and avoid burnout in pursuit of long-term goals. We dive into Michael's journey from a 30-year corporate career to coaching, inspired by a desire to live with purpose and help others do the same. He explains how leaders can use the Marathon Mindset to navigate overwhelm, maintain strategic focus, and build resilience. Michael also shares the concept of DMAs (Difference-Making Actions)—intentional, goal-aligned tasks that counter reactive busyness and drive daily progress. --- Make a Difference Each Day with Mike Viane Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to overcome challenges and find the clarity to take action. Michael, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Thank you for that nice introduction. I copied it from your LinkedIn page, so it wasn't my creation, but I think it's a good one. So as an introduction, by way of introduction, Michael, why don't you share what is your personal “Why” with our audience? I will give you a rather lengthy answer on it. My “Why” started after 30 years in corporate America of having the recognition that I was waking up each day without any passion for what I was doing, without any sense of fulfillment at the end of my day. And the recognition that I needed to find the courage to move forward and do something that I deserved. And that was to have passion and fulfillment in my everyday life, to want to wake up in the morning and do things. And I had the very obvious and rewarding recognition that my greatest accomplishments in my career were always in coaching and mentoring people on my team to be greater organizational contributors, to be future leaders. And when I said this to people, they said, let me introduce you to somebody. And I met a coach. I met a business coach who explained to me what he does. And then I was introduced to Focal Point Business Coaching. And at Focal Point, we have the idea that we are a pebble in the pond, and that when we help one person and we drop that pebble into the pond, we see the ripple effect go out. My “Why” is literally to help others, to teach others, and make even the smallest of difference in their lives and in their business worldShare on X so that it creates that pebble in the pond ripple effect and it affects and makes people who work for this business owner, their lives better, their family lives better, the community stronger. This is my goal, this is my “Why,” this is my passion. Okay, love it. To be the pebble in the pond and create the ripple effect, that is awesome. And definitely coaching can create that, especially when you coach executives who then coach their direct reports and their family life gets better. Let's talk about how you do that and one of the things that you talked about earlier when we chatted really struck a chord with me when you talked about the marathon mindset. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. And how do marathonists think about the race and how they pace themselves? So, what is the Marathon Mindset and what are the four Ps of the Marathon Mindset? Yeah, and this was actually the topic of our Focal Point conference this year. The Marathon Mindset and the four Ps. The four Ps are Purpose to begin with. And we just talked about this and “Why.” Our “Why.” So we talk about our purpose. then we talk about Preparation. Preparation is our process, our ability to plan, our ability to practice, to set goals, to have a mental readiness,

Was genau unterscheidet eigentlich „klimaneutral“ von „net zero“? Und warum sind Investitionen in verlässliche CO₂-Zertifikate und sogenannte negative Emissionen für Unternehmen unverzichtbar? Das klärt Podcast-Host Zackes in dieser Folge mit einem absoluten Experten: Sebastian Manhart, Vorsitzender des Deutschen Verbands für negative Emissionen: ✅ Der wichtige Unterschied von CO₂ Vermeidung, CO₂ Verminderung und negativen Emissionen. ✅ Darum ist Pyrolyse zum dauerhaften Binden von CO₂ so hoch im Kurs. ✅ So funktioniert der verpflichtende Emissionshandel (ETS) und so der freiwillige Emissionshandel (VCM) und das wird das Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) verändern. Und natürlich kommen wie bei jedem anspruchsvollen Nachhaltigkeitsthema auch die Akronyme nicht zu kurz: DACCS, BECCS oder CCS? Nach dieser Folge weißt Du, was sich dahinter verbirgt und kannst in jedem Small Talk unter Sustainability Professionals locker mithalten. Diese Folge ist ein Deep Dive in ein Thema, an dem kein Nachhaltigkeitsmanager vorbeikommt. Zudem wird der verpflichtende Emissionshandel künftig auf weitere Industriezweige ausgeweitet, die bislang außen vor waren. Ein guter Zeitpunkt also, um tiefer in das Thema einzutauchen: negative Emissionen, CO₂-Zertifikate sowie zentrale Begriffe, Vorschriften und Technologien rund um dieses Feld. *** Wiederholung einer der beliebtesten Folgen während der Sommerpause.***

Communicate Trust & Respect through body language  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Communicate trust and respect through your body language. And this is a universal communication strategy, and we will practice that.

One of them is your voice qualities, and the other is your physiology, meaning how you stand and how you move. So words of the three, all three make up 100%, words, would you guess, make up what percentage of what influences another person to your point of view? 30? Seven? Any other guesses? 15? 16? I like it. He goes to auctions. I'm going 60.  You go 15, I'm going 16. All right, add them all up, okay? And it's 7%. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

Building Resiliance with Agile2025 Keynote Speaker Tricia Broderick Dave Prior interviews Tricia Broderick for the Agile 2025 pre-conference, focusing on her keynote on building resilience. Tricia discusses the challenges of the current job market, including high unemployment and overworked employees. She emphasizes the importance of resilience and community support. Tricia also highlights the upcoming AI Readiness for Professionals course, starting August 6, which aims to help professionals stay competitive in an AI-driven world. The conversation touches on the emotional toll of supporting others and the need for empathy and practical support. Tricia looks forward to the Agile 2025 conference, particularly the opportunity to honor past community members. Key Takeaways - Resilience is essential in our current world of work due to a challenging job market and overwhelming workloads. - Empathetic people struggle with the emotional toll of trying to support numerous friends and colleagues who are out of work or struggling. - Community and in-person connections, like at the Agile conference, provide a vital source of restoration and support. - Building personal resilience can be achieved by focusing on what you can control, such as limiting news consumption and performing small acts of kindness. - Tricia will use her keynote to honor four mentors who are no longer with us but had a significant generational impact on her career.

People are typically very uncomfortable exisitning in what appears to be a paradox. I think where we often get tripped up is when we believe we have to resolve these tensions—pick one truth and discard the other. But what if wisdom and life comes from learning to stand in the paradox? To hold both truths at once.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kijuan Amey, Chief Motivation Officer of Amey Motivation LLC. He highlights his extraordinary journey living his dream of working in the Air Force to an accident that changed him forever. He shares how redefining his life through resilience, faith, and the power of vulnerability, gave him what he needed to thrive again.   In today's episode, we discuss: Reframe vulnerability as a source of strength. Embrace open self-expression and honesty about your struggles. This can foster healing, help you confront past pain, and empower both yourself and others. Acknowledge and address mental health openly. Recognize the reality of emotional struggles, such as depression after trauma. Seeking support and being transparent about difficulties can reduce stigma and provide relief. Remind yourself that setbacks do not define you. Internalize the mantra, “my situation does not define who I am.” Use this belief to separate your identity from your circumstances and maintain hope for your future. Appreciate the hidden lessons in adversity. Understand that challenges during childhood or unexpected setbacks build resilience and self-reliance. Apply this mindset to reframe today's difficulties as opportunities for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio From serving in the US Air Force to becoming a CEO, mentor, and bestselling author, Kijuan's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Durham, NC, he's a true testament to the power of determination and perseverance.  - Serving 10 years in the Air Force, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant.  - Former Vice President for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association.  - Mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.  - A talented drummer with 25+ years of experience.  -On-stage actor. - Author of the bestseller, "Don't Focus on Why Me."  In a life-altering moment on May 5th, 2017, he lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident. But as Kijuan says, "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."  Now, Kijuan is a motivating force, empowering others to overcome odds and achieve success. No matter the audience or location, he's ready for the task, from captivating crowds of 1,500 to one-on-one sessions, he is now the chief motivational officer of Amey Motivation LLC.   Website/Social Links: ♦      LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kijuan-amey-783889121?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app   ♦      Instagram:     https://www.instagram.com/kijuanamey?igsh=NmZtNHRqbW1meWNy&utm_source=qr   ♦      Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bq7zzDeV5/?mibextid=wwXIfr   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

Unser heutiger Gast begann seinen Weg alles andere als geradlinig: Mit 15 flog er von der Schule, ohne Abschluss, ohne Netzwerk, ohne Plan. Heute ist er Senior Director bei SAP, Bestseller-Autor, TEDx-erprobter Keynote-Speaker und Gastdozent an der EBS Universität. Dazwischen liegen Stationen bei Radio, bei Red Bull, in der Start-up-Szene und eine beispiellose Karriere, die vor allem eines zeigt: Wie kraftvoll der unkonventionelle Weg sein kann, wenn man sich traut, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gilt als kreativer Wegweiser für Wandel in Unternehmen, als Vordenker für Mindful Leadership und als inspirierende Stimme für eine Arbeitswelt mit mehr Menschlichkeit, Neugier und Mut zum Unperfekten. In seiner Rolle bei SAP entwickelt er nicht nur marktorientierte Innovationsnarrative, sondern begeistert mit Storytelling, das Tiefgang und Leichtigkeit verbindet, immer mit dem Ziel, komplexe Ideen verständlich und emotional zu machen. Sein Buch trägt den passenden Titel: „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt.“ Es ist eine Einladung, sich spielerische Leichtigkeit, kindliche Neugier und kreativen Mut zurückzuerobern, gerade jetzt, wo KI und Komplexität die Arbeitswelt umkrempeln. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In 500 Gesprächen mit über 600 Menschen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich noch ändern muss. Warum lohnt es sich, die kindlichen Fähigkeiten wie Neugier, Mut und Verspieltheit wieder freizulegen und wann haben wir sie eigentlich verloren? Was können Führungskräfte lernen, wenn sie wieder mehr fragen, spielen und zuhören, statt zu bewerten, kontrollieren und zu optimieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Christian Wehner. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Scaling franchise growth in today's competitive and tech-driven economy is no small feat. If you're a brand looking to expand nationally or internationally, how do you structure your business to support sustainable growth without sacrificing brand consistency or operational quality? That's exactly the kind of question this week's episode of Fordify LIVE! The Business Growth Show sets out to tackle. This episode dives deep into the world of franchise development with Troy Hooper, CEO of Hot Palette America and one of the driving forces behind Pepper Lunch's rapid expansion throughout North America. With over three decades of experience in hospitality and restaurant operations, Troy has helped revitalize legacy brands, roll out high-performing new concepts, and build franchise systems that are not only scalable but also rooted in operational excellence. His leadership is responsible for adding over 85 new units to the Pepper Lunch pipeline in just a few short years—all while ensuring franchisees are set up for long-term success. Troy joins host Ford Saeks for a timely, high-impact discussion on what it really takes to build and scale a brand that performs in any market. They explore what brand leaders need to consider before pursuing franchise growth and why creating a strong infrastructure behind the scenes is just as critical as selecting the right franchisees. From building effective systems and processes to working with vendors and suppliers in a way that supports aggressive expansion, Troy pulls back the curtain on the realities of modern franchise leadership. If your goal is scaling franchise growth without losing the DNA that makes your brand special, this episode brings fresh insight from the trenches of the restaurant and hospitality world. The conversation also touches on what makes a franchise model work—and more importantly, what can cause it to stall out. With candid stories and sharp business strategy, Troy shares how his team built a system that works not just for today's market but for the evolving consumer and tech landscape ahead. And while the episode centers on the restaurant industry, the strategies discussed are applicable to any brand serious about building something that lasts. Throughout the episode, Troy emphasizes the importance of leading with empathy, clarity, and a commitment to operational rigor. Whether you're working with a team of ten or managing hundreds of units across continents, the principles behind scaling franchise growth remain consistent: strong leadership, proven systems, strategic partnerships, and a mindset focused on constant improvement. Ford and Troy explore how businesses can prepare internally to support external expansion—and why the readiness of your infrastructure can make or break your ability to grow effectively. The episode also highlights how technology, including AI and automation, plays a growing role in franchise operations. From improving guest experience to scaling brand messaging at a local level, Troy shares how his team has adopted AI tools to stay ahead of the curve while still delivering on the core promise of hospitality. This conversation is a must for entrepreneurs, franchisors, and executives thinking about growth beyond their current footprint. It offers thought-provoking ideas and a refreshing look at what's possible when you combine experience with innovation, and vision with execution.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Keller Wood, Montessori educator, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance. We challenge the myth of work-life balance and instead explore the powerful metaphor of a life mosaic—how different aspects of our life can align without rigid separation. Katie shares how purpose-driven work, often viewed with guilt or skepticism, can actually be a vital source of personal meaning and fulfillment. She draws from Montessori principles in order to emphasize the importance of not losing oneself in their meaningful work, but instead cultivate awareness, alignment, and joy in all areas of life. This episode is for anyone wanting to do their purpose work and create a meaningful life without burning out.   Dr. Katie Keller Wood grew up in the world of education, and delights in helping people find new ways of thinking about the world. Discovering Montessori education, both as a pedagogy and a philosophy, was pivotal for her, and she is on a mission to bring a Montessori perspective of work to everyone.    Katie has had the great honor of working with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs, called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. Any given semester might find Katie teaching undergraduates at the University of Virginia, where she earned both her bachelor's and her doctorate degrees, master's students at Xavier University, or doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She is active in the Montessori research and teacher education communities.    Katie does her work because she believes that a more peaceful, just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible, and that it takes all of us leading our aligned lives to bring this world forward. Katie lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a TEDx and keynote speaker and a sought-after presenter for workshops and conferences. Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance is her first book.     Guest's Contact – Linedin Website Book Contact Jeffrey – JeffreyShaw.com Books by Jeffrey Shaw Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs Watch my TEDx LincolnSquare video and please share!

When the flood came, the warnings didn't. In this episode, a deadly cascade of communication breakdowns and the consequences of delay. At least 129 people are dead, with dozens still missing, after historic flash flooding swept through central Texas. The timeline reveals a gap between federal alerts and local action. Lives were lost in those hours.We examine what went wrong, why the local warning system never materialized despite years of requests, and how messaging from state and national leaders continues to fail the public in real-time. From delayed sirens to political deflections, this is a story about infrastructure, accountability, and the high cost of silence.Plus: the Camp Mystic aftermath, FEMA's delayed deployment, the governor's football analogy, and the backlash to a viral video that reframed the tragedy through race and privilege.The floodwaters receded. The questions haven't.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

In this episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Andy Crocker, author of The Unconditionals, to explore how five core values, unconditional love, gratitude, integrity, accountability, and endeavor, can transform how we face challenges and build resilience. Andy shares powerful insights and real-life stories that reveal how grounding yourself in these values can help you recover from failure faster, pivot with purpose, and live a life defined by meaning, not perfection. In this episode, you'll learn how to: See failure as a launchpad, not a dead end. When you stop viewing setbacks as defeat, you recover faster and grow wiser, equipped to seize new opportunities with greater clarity and courage. Define success on your own terms. Ditch the societal checklist. Pursuing fulfillment, not perfection, leads to greater joy, authenticity, and personal achievement. Pivot with purpose when life shifts. Unexpected turns are inevitable. A values-based mindset empowers you to adjust course with intention and rediscover meaning, even in the midst of change. Embrace imperfection as a path to progress. Mastery isn't about getting it right the first time—it's about learning, evolving, and moving forward without fear of failure.

"Third time's the charm" is a saying that suggests perhaps the third attempt will be more successful than the two prior failures. By no means has the past two versions of Test Track been failures. But it seems like this is a huge opportunity to learn from the previous experiences and truly come up with something that could be loved for years to come. We chart out not only all three, but also talk about its forefather, The World of Motion. On our journey I pick up my friend and colleague Nick Grande, to talk about our experience testing Test Track, where it works, where it doesn't and where it retreads. Great news! There is much to love about this new version. And while we've seen people either completely love or hate it, we'll give you a complete sense of how you can get both responses. Join us for Test Track 3.0. Is the third time the charm? ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life podcast, I had the great pleasure of speaking with learning scientist, curriculum expert, and the “Workshop Whisperer”, Julia Phelan. In this episode we explore how well-intended coaches, consultants, and course creators can unknowingly do harm when they don't understand how people actually learn. Julia shares insights into why oversimplified advice discourages learners and how to design effective experiences for people at all levels. We also dig into the myth of learning styles, the difference between good content and good delivery, and what it really means to create learning experiences that empower rather than overwhelm. Whether someone is leading a team, creating a course, or crafting a keynote, this conversation will help anyone build with purpose and make a lasting impact—without ever losing sight of your learner. Julia is the co-founder of To Eleven an innovative education consultancy firm specialized in using evidence-based principles and approaches to develop, evaluate, and improve learning experiences. Julia and Ellen co-founded To Eleven to utilize knowledge of how learning works to shape the design and development of meaningful and engaging learning experiences for learners of all ages. Julia has a Ph.D in Education from UCLA and spent much of her career as a research and learning scientist at UCLA as well as consulting and advising for school districts, philanthropic organizations, academic publishing, ed tech, corporate training, and government agencies. She is currently an advisor for the National Laboratory for Education Transformation.

July appears quiet. It isn't.This episode outlines why summer is a high-risk period for reputation management. With newsroom staffing reduced and audience attention low, deeper stories start brewing. Reporters have more time. Leadership is often distracted. That's when reputational cracks start to widen.The timing is rarely accidental. Many of the biggest PR crises in recent years—from Lizzo's lawsuit to Drew Barrymore's strike backlash—began simmering in July and erupted by September.What's covered:How reduced oversight and lower engagement create space for reputational damageThe patterns behind summer stories that spiralCase examples including Diddy, Cuomo, Barrymore, Lizzo, Fallon, Baldoni, and LivelyThe role of social media in sustaining backlashWhy July is a critical window for transparency, not silenceAlso featured: a breakdown of how MuckRack supports proactive monitoring and sentiment tracking.Referenced Stories:Sean Combs trialAndrew Cuomo's primary upsetLizzo legal falloutWriters strike flashpointsCelebrity missteps and media strategyKey takeaway: July is not the time to disappear.
