When you invest in appropriate relationships with the people you lead and make them feel valuable, you become all the more effective as a leader.    In today's episode, host Jeff Mask sits down with Kimberly Holmes, CEO of Marriage Helper to talk about some universal principles that work across all relationships, whether personal or professional. Kimberly is passionate about championing marriages and creating strong families. She and her team want to take over the world with hope for great relationships.    Listen in as she shares how you can implement these powerful relationship principles into your leadership.    How Kimberly Became CEO of a Successful Company   Kimberly's story starts back in the mid-1980s. The founder of Marriage Helper was a very successful speaker whose schedule was booked five years out. He was married with two daughters when he fell in love with another woman, and left his family to be with her. He was divorced for three years, became a drug addict and an alcoholic, lost his friends, was living out of his car, and almost died. He told God he was going to turn his life around, called his ex-wife, and asked her to take him back, which she did, against the advice of her loved ones.   They remarried, even though they weren't in love, and they had a third child in celebration of their remarriage. That child was Kimberly. She says, “I literally would not be on this earth if it weren't for two people committed to trying to make it work, to put it back together.”   She entered the family business part-time and saw the amazing change that was happening in the 3-day workshops her parents hosted. The service worked, but they had no marketing whatsoever. Her dad was considering shutting it down, because it wasn't profitable. She knew they had to get the message in front of people, because it was needed. They were an organization driven by mission and believed the stakes were high.   Kimberly became CEO with a staff of four. They started an email list, and experienced 100% growth for two consecutive years. There was really nowhere to go but up. In 6 years she had 5x'ed the company. She learned marketing, got clear on her why, and worked hard to scale. And now they have a staff of 75.    How to Invest In Relationships   You have to invest in people if you're going to take your business from 4 people to 75. Kimberly has invested in relationships on her team, and the team helps people invest in their marriage relationships. What are some things she has learned about relationships over the years that can apply to us as leaders?   Kimberly says people want to leave a relationship for one of three reasons:   They don't feel liked. They don't feel loved. They don't feel respected.    At the core, if someone feels liked, loved, and respected, they'll feel more attachment to the relationship they're in. So, ask yourself: what am I doing that is showing the other person that I like, love, and respect them? People are attracted to those who evoke emotions that they enjoy feeling. Am I helping people feel edified, uplifted, supported, liked?   If leaders can do this in an appropriate way in their relationships at work, it makes all the difference. It changes us and the people we're leading. People need to feel valued, like they're not just a number. You want them to like the way it feels to be a part of your team and a part of your company.   The Four Stages of a Relationship   There are four stages to any relationship, and understanding each one of them can help you make your relationships stronger, whether at home or at work.   Stage 1: Attraction    Attraction isn't just physical. There are four components to attraction: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual. (PIES, to help you remember) As a leader, how are you providing intellectual stimulation? How do you make people feel emotionally? And spiritually, we're attracted to people who are aligned with our core values. Attraction is what makes us want to get closer to a person. When team members are attracted to our organization, they want to get closer, stay longer.   Stage 2: Acceptance    Once I'm attracted and move closer, as I learn more about them, can I accept this person for who they are without trying to change them? In business, sometimes people do need to change. They need to be coached into who they can be. But how do we approach this? I see your giftedness and potential, and what you can grow into. I accept who you are now, but I'm also not going to leave you here, because I see what you can be.    Stage 3: Attachment    The bottom line of attachment is I will be there for you, no matter what. That's powerful. Sometimes it's just sitting there, just listening. The way you build attachment and show someone you'll be there for them is done in the small things consistently over time when the person needs you. You show up the way you say you're going to show up.   Stage 4: Aspiration    You have a vision for your relationship, something you can look forward to together. When we can give the people on our team a vision of where they can go, the conflicts and drama at work don't seem as big, because we remember our vision and our mission.    Leading As a Woman in a Male-Dominated World   As Jeff listens to Kimberly speak, he hears clarity, confidence, and conviction. He hears her knowing how to lead from her place of strength, leading as a female CEO powerfully and consistently. “How do you lead from a place of power and confidence in a very male-dominated world?” he asks her.   “I'm going to be completely vulnerable and open,” Kimberly says. “It probably hasn't been until the past 2-3 years that I've trusted my voice. As a child, someone did and said things to me they shouldn't have, and when I spoke up about it, nobody believed me. It wasn't until I went to therapy and EMDR and faced my demons that I realized I wasn't wrong. I was right. What happened to me was wrong. I can trust myself. I have discernment. I'm learning to know when to trust myself and when to get support from the people around me who believe in me.”   She goes on to say, “I've never seen men as the enemy, but I also want to empower women to trust themselves. We actually have innate parts of us that come naturally to some of us that can make us exceptional in our own way. I don't see it as competition but as a collaboration.”    Jeff leaves us with some wisdom: The sooner we can be clear and calm with our past, the more powerfully we can lead in our present and future. We put those stories in our minds that tell us why we can't do certain things, and they're just not true. We have to find our voice, find our core values, and humbly and authentically lead from our strengths.    Richard and Jeff want to hear from YOU.

In this episode, Julius Young and Kimberly Holmes analyze what went wrong with the Gates's relationship and what the couple might do moving forward. Bill and Melinda Gates's relationship has been one wild ride. Bill and Melinda began their decade long relationship in 1987 after crossing paths at a dinner during the Trade Convention in New York City when Melinda was hired on as product manager at Microsoft. Melinda and the “Tech Wizard” tied the knot on January 1, 1994 in Hawaii.Bill's marriage to Melinda contained sundries of sputters on the way to their pending divorce after 27 years. In the Gates's relationship, the tech honcho was allowed by his wife to spend time with an ex girlfriend, Ann Winblad, thanks to a built in arrangement Bill had with Melinda French prior to the now former pair exchanging nuptials. Ann and Bill bonded fondly over their mutual love of all things science, and they dated exclusively from 1984 until they split in 1987. In fact, they were so close that in 1997, Bill sought approval from Ann before he took the plunge and proposed to Melinda.Throughout their 27 years married, Bill and Melinda welcomed 3 children, Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe, and started their wildly philanthropic Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. The pair shares a net worth of 130 billion. The couple has high hopes of continuing to run the foundation together for their dreams of winning a Nobel Prize. Can the couple find a way to transition their relationship from the bedroom to solely the boardroom? Can the effects and consequences of divorce be bought away? Find out today in Young & Holmes.

In the next few episodes, we will be switching things up! Starting today, I will be answering your questions about attraction. In this episode, I share my answers to Phil's question about physical attraction:"I've always been very active, and my wife and I used to run together and work out together quite a bit. I'm currently in a season of life where I feel I honestly have zero time I can spend working out without either completely neglecting my family or never getting enough sleep. There are so many get fit quick schemes out there that I don't know what to believe. What would be the least number of days I can work out that would still provide physical benefit. And what would you recommend as a good full body but short on time required workout?"If you also feel like time has slipped away and you don't have time to work on physical attraction, tune into this episode to hear key tips to working out when you're short on time.

David DeAngelo famously said, 'Attraction isn't a choice.' But what then IS it? The first notion that comes to mind is that it has to do with looking good. 'Attractive' is synonymous with 'beautiful' or perhaps 'sexy' for many people. But the true connotation of the word is more, well...magnetic, isn't it? In this episode my co-host Kimberly Holmes and I delve into the intricacies of attraction. As you may have already guessed, there are many facets to it, most of which go way beyond the surface of it all. Indeed, if you want to achieve true connection with a significant someone, it's all about depth rather than superficiality. So what then are those deeper aspects of attraction? How do we recognize them...and explore them? How do we get past swiping on pictures and vapid profile narratives to recognize true potential for real attraction? How do we cultivate it once we find it? And for sure, how can we ourselves be as attractive all-around as we can possibly be? It's a huge, important topic that ironically isn't often discussed with the amount of depth it truly deserves. But this sometimes scientific but always fun and decidedly rambunctious episode changes that once and for all. And by all means, if you're finally ready to enjoy the great benefits of mutual attraction in your life, talk to me free for 25 minutes about how to achieve that with the right woman.

We hear from people who say things like, "My spouse is involved with another person, but also seems interested in me. Is this something other people face?"The answer is... Absolutely. As a matter of fact, we have a name for it. We call it "The Valley."Your spouse is having a good relationship with the affair partner as well as with the spouse that is being abandoned. This double life has pros and cons. The pro can be that he or she is spending time with you, and if it appears to be working well. As long as you can tolerate this, it may well be to your advantage. It can with time bring him home. The con is that he is still with the other woman or man, and that relationship may be going well also. If so, he won’t feel any need to change anything.If your spouse is in The Valley, you may be feeling confused.Your spouse is doing things that lead you to believe your marriage is going to end. Yet, at the same time, they may be showing signs they don't want to let go of you. The Valley is about your spouse being in-between two things and not having to make a choice right now. People may say they are getting the best of both worlds.You may be asking yourself, "Should I allow my spouse to be in the valley?" Or, "Should I set a boundary for myself and  force my spouse to make a choice?"If you want your spouse to finally make a choice, ultimatums typically do NOT yield the results people are hoping for.Instead, we will share with you practical steps to bring you the sense of peace you are searching for.If you are ready to learn what TO DO and what NOT TO DO when your spouse is in The Valley, listen to this 50 minute episode where Dr. Joe Beam and Kimberly Holmes share what has worked best in the thousands of marriages that have been saved.Links Mentioned:Should I Have Sex With My Husband During His Affair VideoFree How To Get Your Spouse Back Mini Course

All the time people come to us saying, "We tried to reconcile, but it's just impossible. We got back together thinking we can do it, then it didn't work.”You know why? Because they didn't know how.Think about it like this… Imagine you want to replace the spark plugs in your car. You can have every intention of doing it. But if you don’t know how or where the spark plugs even are... You’re gonna fail.People are blindsided because they think they’re reconciling when they're not. So how can you know if you’re actually reconciling or not? Or how to make it happen?These people struggled but figured it out with our help:“We had been to three different marriage counselors in the first 10 years of our marriage. We got like one decent takeaway. There was just so much pain, so much hurt. It just seemed impossible.”“We're sitting here seven years later, and it is a daily impact on our marriage, on our children, regardless  of how lost, how broken, how hopeless you believe the circumstances. If you're just willing to invest a little bit of time, it's incredible the long-lasting impact that it can have.”“At the end of the day, he chose not to even show me the divorce papers. He took them with him and he  chose to continue talking. So for the first time, in a long time, I face the future of our marriage with hope.”Do you want to know how to have a complete breakthrough right away? No years of counseling necessary. In fact, bringing up the past is the worst way to fix a marriage.Instead, there’s a MUCH better way to reconcile… Even when it seems impossible, and like your marriage is still falling apart despite your best efforts. If you want to know how, listen to this 41 minute podcast where Dr. Joe Beam and Kimberly Holmes share how to get back the marriage you first had when you said “I do."

PIES University's Kimberly Holmes joins this episode of The SavvyCast to discuss what makes someone physically attractive and why looks are only a small part of the equation. Physical attractiveness is about more than looks. Looks are one small part of what makes a person physically attractive. There are myriad different "standards" for what "looks attractive" based on culture, history, media, and other factors. Not only are looks subjective, they are only a small part of the physicality of someone. It starts with how we feel about ourselves. Kimberly points out that how we feel about ourselves and our bodies is the first and most important aspect of our physical attractiveness.  We can feel better about ourselves if we do (or don't do) several things: Stop comparing ourselves with others. We are all different and cannot be anyone else physically. Stop trying to meet the criteria of what U.S. culture defines as physically attractive.  Strive to be our best version of ourself. It is also about feeling good and being healthy. Several important elements of being physically attractive are feeling good and being healthy. What we eat is important. How we move is important. How we feel is important. If we are eating right, exercising, and staying healthy and strong, we will be our most attractive self. What this looks like is not the same for everyone. My diet, exercise regimen, and health goals should be the best for my body and my goals.  There are so many other tips on staying physically attractive that Kimberly shares in the podcast.
