Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, we sit down with Heather Cronk, founder of Project 21:12, to talk about what happens after people leave evangelical Christianity—and why that story matters politically, socially, and morally. Heather shares her own journey through fundamentalism, seminary, deconstruction, and organizing, and explains why roughly 15 million Americans now identify as exvangelicals. We discuss why LGBTQ treatment is one of the leading reasons people leave evangelical churches, how Christian nationalism distorts faith into a tool of power, and why organizing—not just healing—is central to accountability. The conversation wrestles honestly with Jesus, doubt, labels, and pluralism, while asking a forward-looking question: if this movement becomes visible and organized, how might it reshape the national conversation about faith and democracy?Relevant LinksProject 2112: https://project2112.orgGuest Bio Heather Cronk is a longtime community organizer and the founder of Project 2112, an initiative focused on connecting and organizing Americans who have left evangelical Christianity. After deconstructing from fundamentalist evangelicalism more than two decades ago, Heather spent years working across progressive movement spaces, bringing organizing tools to issues of power, accountability, and harm. Through Project 2112, she works to make exvangelicals visible, connected, and equipped to challenge the political and social damage caused by authoritarian forms of religion—while building healthier forms of community and public engagement.Support the show

Dennis Scooter Abrahamsen called upon Amanda's sex worker services in May of 2010. He hired her to come and satisfy him and his two friends. After Amanda completed her work for Scooter, she still had business to take care of, and called in her boyfriend Jason.Our True Crime quickie is from Gastonia, North Carolina in 2021.https://www.patreon.com/c/rainbowcrimesPromo for Murder in the PNWIntro: Shire Girl by David FesilyanOutro: Beating Heart by David RendaResources:https://abc7.com/archive/7559039/https://www.local3news.com/former-adult-film-actor-arrested-in-chattanooga-for-sledgehammer-murder/article_071ae49f-50b0-50b5-ab0f-d5a054647db3.htmlhttps://baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2012/5/21/porn_actress_takes_p?cid=rsshttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/porn-actors-accused-of-killing-tattoo-artist/https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/2021/09/03/new-port-richey-porn-star-murder-case-reexamined-on-cnns-sex-murder/https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/porn-actor-pleads-guilty-in-murder-of-new-port-richey-tattoo-parlor-owner/1212272/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2147839/Amanda-Logue-porn-star-Sunny-Dae-pleads-guilty-killing-tattoo-shop-owner.htmlhttps://www.oxygen.com/in-ice-cold-blood/crime-time/florida-biker-brutally-murdered-porn-star-couple-scooter-abrahamsen#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIn%20my%20career%2C%20I',could%20do%20such%20a%20thing.%E2%80%9Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjZOH9bgSdUhttps://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/tahj-wall-guilty-first-degree-murder-2021-shooting-boyfriend/6C2EODVN7ZH6ZBSFMMNC7DMOYU/https://lawandcrime.com/crime/man-shot-his-boyfriend-in-the-head-and-then-drove-around-with-dead-body-for-6-hours-to-show-people-the-corpse/https://x.com/TrueCrimeUpdat/status/1944634660421804470Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beyond-the-rainbow-podcast--4398945/support.

Born in Libya to a Christian family, abandoned as a young child in a Pakistani boarding school after her mother's sudden death, and later facing rejection and hardship in the UK, Tia spent eight years living as a lesbian—finding temporary belonging in gay clubs amid heavy drinking, chain-smoking, and profound emptiness. Yet through a series of divine interventions, terrifying dreams, and a life-altering supernatural moment, God dramatically broke through, leading her to encounter Jesus in Scripture and walk away from that life entirely. This raw conversation uncovers the deep impact of trauma, the emptiness of alternative lifestyles, and the unmatched freedom and satisfaction found only in Christ—no going back to “Egypt.” A must-watch if you're wrestling with same-sex attraction, rejection, addiction, doubt in God's love, or wondering how the church can better welcome those leaving LGBTQ+ identities.

When 32-year-old Kimberly Avila didn't return home after a night out in May of 2017, her family knew something was wrong. Kimberly was a woman of color and part of the LGBTQ+ community, living in a heavily religious Texas town, just on the border of Mexico. Rumors and accusations have circled the case, with no actual evidence, but Kimberly's family remains unwavering in their search and in their belief that they will one day have answers. Kimberly was last seen just before 3:00AM in the 1200 block of E. Washington Street in Brownsville, Texas. She was on foot and wearing a black wig, a black short sleeve dressy blouse, a black skirt, fishnet pantyhose, and high heel stiletto shoes. She has brown eyes, but was wearing grey contacts.

Brian is the co-founder of QueerTheology.com (a resource hub, podcast, and online community exploring how queerness and spirituality enrich one another) and the founder of Relationshift, a coaching practice supporting LGBTQ+ and polyamorous folks in building thriving relationships on their own terms. Brian is also the co-author of Queers The Word, and his first solo book, Love Beyond Monogamy.Together, they explore:Moving beyond the “clobber passages” and why queerness doesn't belong in a defensive posture.Polyamory + non-monogamy as a spiritual path and what monogamous folks can learn from it.Sex, smut, and the sacred: how hookup culture can be approached with intention instead of shameQueer ritual in plain sight (Fire Island as pilgrimage, weekly rhythms, chosen family as spiritual practice).Taboo topics with tenderness: orgies, douching-as-ritual, and what “purity/contamination” stories do to the soul.Kink, light, and healing and how “taboo” can become a site of liberation.What it can look like to return to (or leave) Christianity with agency after religious trauma.Why progressive spiritual spaces need to define their terms (God, miracle, resurrection) so people feel safe to receive.This is a conversation about queerness as holy, pleasure as portal, and choosing a shame-free spirituality that actually feels like good news.Connect with Brian: Queer Theology: https://www.queertheology.com/ Queerness Every Day Challenge: https://www.queertheology.com/challenge/Love Beyond Monogamy Book: https://www.queertheology.com/books/ Brian's website: https://www.briangerald.com/ Relationship coaching (Relationshift): https://www.briangerald.com/relationship-coaching/Connect with Wil: Website: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Instagram: @wilfish99Watch the interviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@willfullyliving4357Support the show

Episode 117: Towards an Equitable and Inclusive Future: LGBTQIA+ ArchitectsWhat would an equitable future for LGBTQIA+ people look like? What's the role of architecture in designing an equitable future?Expanding our equity, diversity, and inclusion series, episode 117 explores the perspectives of LGBTQIA+ architects and designers working to create a more equitable future for all. One of the earliest episodes in this series, “Voices from the Future of the Profession,” episode 016, was recorded in 2020. Since that recording date, a number of anti-LGBTQIA+ bills and legislation have been passed across the United States - risking protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. As architects and designers, we believe there is much more we can do to create safe and inclusive policies and spaces in the built environment and within our communities. We've invited leaders to share their stories and discuss what matters most in this moment of change.Guest Moderator:Dedicated to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and visibility of LGBTQIA+ architects, architecture adjacent, and design professionals, Sarah Nelson-Woynicz, AIA, is the Founder of Pride by Design. As a Project Architect with HKS, Inc in Atlanta, Georgia, Sarah's professional practice focuses on commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family markets, while also amplifying and engaging in HKS' justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion work. Sarah has served on the AIA Atlanta Board of Directors and currently serves at the AIA Young Architects Forum Advisory Committee, Community Director. Guests:Rajas Karnik is a Project Architect with over 20 years of varied project experience in urban design, transportation, commercial and residential buildings. Raj grew up in India, where he was surrounded by a family of artists. As a child, he spent many days in his father's architecture office and felt it was his destiny to follow in his footsteps. He attended the Academy of Architecture in Mumbai, his father's alma mater, before moving to the United States to pursue his Master of Architecture at Texas A&M University. Raj believes a strong team drives a successful project. It's a combination of personality and communication, but mostly it's about respect. Architecture is one of the few professions where you are literally learning new every day—from different building parameters, to changing client needs and goals, and new consultant teams. He feels that you have to form personal relationships and learn from everyone, so treating everyone equally and with respect is most important.Rajas is also the co-founder and Past President of Build Out Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes and advocates for the LGBTQ+ community within the building design and construction industry. Through this group he helps create visibility for Out LGBTQ professionals and create a safe environment for them to celebrate who they are.Beau Frail is a poet, artist, and architect. Beau is passionate about community-engaged design and advancing equity and justice, including within the LGBTQIA+ community. Beau has served on the Texas Society of Architects (TxA) Board of Directors, where he helped launch the EDI Committee, and on the AIA National Associates Committee. He helped start LGBTQIA+ Alliances at AIA Austin and AIA New York. Beau was honored with the 2020 TxA Presidential Citation and the 2018 AIA Austin Honor Award for Community Service. Beau was selected as a Next City Vanguard, an AIA Design Justice Fellow, and an Association for Community...

Overturning Roe unleashed a wave of urgent threats to abortion and bodily autonomy, fueled by overt white supremacy, racial and anti-immigrant hatred, and support for traditional gender roles and sexual identities. But the resistance is fierce, led by a new generation of activists of color dedicated to building an inclusive movement. In Abortion and Reproductive Justice: An Essential Guide for Resistance, widely recognized movement leaders Marlene Gerber Fried and Loretta J. Ross provide a history of abortion politics through a reproductive justice framework that centers those most vulnerable.The book emphasizes that the right to have and raise children is as important for reproductive choice as the right not to. This critical approach—originating in Black feminism—provides grounding for radical abortion advocacy. Calling on us to join in, the book highlights abortion stories from individuals and organizations who are putting this analysis into action on the front lines, in the United States and beyond. By linking abortion rights to broader social justice initiatives, including Black Lives Matter, immigrant and refugee rights, disability justice, and LGBTQ+ rights, the authors expand the conversation at a critical moment. Our guest is: Dr. Marlene Gerber Fried, who is professor emerita at Hampshire College. Her scholarship and teaching focuses on abortion rights and access, reproductive and sexual rights and health, and legal theory. Her honors include the Felicia Stewart Advocacy Award, and the Warrior Women Award from SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. Our guest is: Dr. Loretta J. Ross, who is an activist, public intellectual, and Associate Professor of the Study of Women & Gender at Smith College. Her co-authored books include Calling In, Abortion and Reproductive Justice, and Women Who Change the World. She has also published numerous articles and book chapters.

In 1770 a weird and amazing machine known as "The Chess Machine," or "The Mechanical Turk," was created by Civil Servant and Engineer Wolfgang von Kempelen. He claimed it could play chess as an automated machine, and indeed it played and defeated many talented players and well-known people, including Napolean and Benjamin Franklin. This device kicked off the type of thinking that influenced the development of the computer, and probably even AI. Unfortunately it was all a hoax... Thursday Thistory is a look at psychological or cultural history. Half today's episode is available to all listeners, while the other half is only for Patreon members.  This month's highlighted charity is Stand in Pride, a nonprofit helping LGBTQ+ individuals find support after facing rejection from family.

Reaction to City Club forum with Center for Christian Virtue The Center for Christian Virtue began as an anti-pornography group more than 40 years, but has since become what the Cincinnati Enquirer recently called a "policy powerhouse" in the state, influencing hundreds of bills, from expanding Ohio's EdChoice voucher system to banning transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The Center's President Aaron Baer spoke at The City Club of Cleveland Friday, amid protestors on the street, and following an open letter from members of the LGBTQ community and nonprofit leaders who pointed out the group's designation as an anti-LGBTQ hate group in 2023 by the Southern Poverty Law Center. City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop said the group's major influence in shaping state laws is why he invited Baer to speak. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we're going to spend time talking about this organization and its impact in the state, and discuss the reaction to Baer's invitation and speech. Guests: - Jessie Balmert, State Government Reporter, Cincinnati Enquirer - Greg Lawson, Senior Research Fellow, The Buckeye Institute - Maria Bruno, Executive Director, Ohioans Against Extremism - Tom Sutton, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Political Science, formerly at Baldwin Wallace University

You've heard it repeated by nonaffirming Christians and right-wing politicians: “traditional values.”But listen closely — and notice what's missing.Honesty. Fidelity. Compassion. Justice. Kindness.So what are “traditional values,” really? Whose tradition are we talking about? From which era? From which culture? From which Bible — and whose Christianity?In this episode, we expose the myth of “traditional values,” how the phrase became a political weapon instead of a moral compass, and what real, Jesus-shaped values actually demand of us.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

This week on the Nonprofit News Feed, the hosts dive into pressing digital safety issues and uplifting philanthropic news. The episode covers the alarming rise of deep fakes and their implications for nonprofits, and celebrates a significant donation to support LGBTQ+ youth. Main Topics: Global Crisis of Deep Fakes: The episode highlights the disturbing trend of deep fakes, particularly on the AI platform Grok, which is generating non-consensual and sexualized images. The hosts stress the urgent need for nonprofits working with vulnerable groups to advocate for stricter regulations and educate communities on digital safety. Implications for Nonprofits: The conversation emphasizes the critical role of nonprofits in combating AI-enabled cyberbullying and gender-based violence. Organizations are called to update internet safety protocols and engage in advocacy to protect affected communities. Mackenzie Scott's Transformative Gift: In a beacon of hope, Mackenzie Scott's $45 million unrestricted donation to the Trevor Project is celebrated. This lifeline comes after federal funding cuts and highlights the importance of substantial, unrestricted support for nonprofits in crisis.

On this episode, we're going back-to-basics to discuss the rules that apply when nonprofits engage in lobbying activities. With legislative sessions ramping-up in several states, it's important to take time to understand the lobbying limits and definitions that apply to your organization's advocacy. But, it's even more important to recognize that public charities can lobby and advocate for or against legislation at the local, state, and federal levels. So, rally your staff and volunteers, and speak up, because your nonprofit can play an important role in impacting public policy.    Attorneys for this Episode  Brittany Leonard   Tim Mooney  Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort    The Importance of Lobbying  Big business often pays for expensive lobbyists to represent their interests in front of legislators, but normal community members cannot foot that bill. Nonprofits who lobby can step up and fill the void.   501(c)(3) public charities can use their experience, funding, and passion for their mission to represent communities by advocating for or against changes to law.   For example, Movement Advancement Project tracked the 2025 spring legislative session and found that every state except for Vermont had an anti-LGBTQ bill proposed but 88% of them did not become law. This was due in part to great nonprofits lobbying against these bills.   How Much Lobbying Can Public Charities Do?  Internal Revenue Code provides two ways for public charities to measure their lobbying limits  Default, Insubstantial Part Test: Public charities can lobby so long as lobbying is an "insubstantial part" of their overall activities (around 3-5% of total activities).  Activities based test, not dollar-based  Broad definitions of lobbying  501(h) Expenditure Test: Most public charities can opt in to using this test to measure their limits (as opposed to the insubstantial part test), and when they do, it provides a mathematical formula to calculate lobbying limits.  Dollar-based test (unpaid, volunteer activities don't count against limits)  Narrower definitions of what qualifies as lobbying  Many organizations can put up to 20% of their budget toward lobbying using the 501(h) election, but the exact amount depends on the organization's annual exempt purpose expenditures.    What is Lobbying?  The definition of lobbying depends on which of the two Internal Revenue Code tests your public charity uses to measure its limits  Insubstantial Part Test: anything that advocates for or against legislation at any level of government is lobbying. For example:  Advocating against a proposed ordinance in your city that would update the housing code in a way that would negatively impact the communities you serve  Supporting a ballot measure that would codify reproductive rights in your state's constitution  Talking to members of Congress to oppose the "Nonprofit Killer" bill  Engaging in advocacy in an attempt to influence what gets included in your state's budget  501(h) Expenditure Test  Direct Lobbying: Communication to a legislator (or their staff) that expresses a view on specific legislation. For example:  Calling your Senator to encourage them to vote for an upcoming bill that will give every family a free puppy  Emailing your State Rep's Chief of Staff to recommend an increase in funding for animal shelter improvements in the state's budget  Grassroots Lobbying: Communicating to the general public your organization's view on specific legislation with a call to action (only four types). For example:  Placing an ad in the newspaper that says "Call your Senator and express your support for legislation that would give every family a free puppy."  Putting a web form on your public charity's website that encourages supporters to input their name and zip code to have a letter in support of a state-level bill automatically sent to their legislators  What about a Threads post encouraging the public to vote in support of a local bond initiative or other ballot measure?  Direct Lobbying. Why? The public is a legislator in the ballot measure process, because the public decides whether the measure passes (and becomes law) or fails (does not become law).   Keep in mind that in addition to counting ballot measure advocacy against your lobbying limits, your ballot measure advocacy may also trigger state or local-level campaign finance reporting (since it happens in the election context).   Examples of activities that do not count as lobbying include education about legislation without expressing a view, advocating for or against executive agency action, for or against executive orders, public education with no call to action under 501h, litigation, etc.  Lobbying definitions can also vary according to state law.  State laws generally don't limit how much lobbying a public charity can do, but they do require lobbyist registration and reporting when certain thresholds are met.  State laws often define lobbying differently from the Internal Revenue Code and can include both legislative and executive branch advocacy activities.    Resources  Being a Player: A Guide to the IRS Lobbying Regulations for Advocacy Charities  Public Charities Can Lobby: Factsheet  State Law Resources: Nonprofit Lobbying Practical Guidance  501(h) Lobbying Limit Calculator 

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Ben Appel, author of Cis White Gay, The Making of a Gender Heretic, for a candid conversation about ideology, identity, and the cost of dissent. Ben Appel shares his personal journey from LGBTQ activism to becoming a prominent critic of modern gender politics. He explains how his views evolved, what led him to question prevailing orthodoxies within his own community, and the backlash he faced for speaking openly. The discussion explores the rise of identity politics, debates surrounding trans rights, and the growing pressure to conform within cultural and political movements. Karol and Ben also examine the broader implications for free speech, political polarization, and the future of public discourse in America.

In this special episode of Real Talk for Real Fundraisers, Jeff Schreifels is joined by Christopher Beck—Associate Director of Individual and Planned Giving at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and a 20-year fundraising veteran—as a new co-host for an ongoing 2026 series centered on equity, inclusion, and the real-world challenges facing fundraisers of color. This conversation centers around the practical, financial, and strategic realities of a sector that is already changing faster than many organizations are prepared for. Together, Jeff and Christopher dig into five foundational questions that will guide the series ahead, from who actually holds decision-making power inside non-profit organizations to the measurable revenue impact of building a more diverse donor base. With the great wealth transfer underway, next-generation donors on the rise, and communities of color holding more philanthropic power than ever before, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at what's at stake and what's possible for organizations willing to adapt.  It's an honest, forward-looking conversation about where fundraising is headed and how leaders can meet the moment without losing sight of relationships, mission, or results. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… The single biggest equity barrier limiting revenue potential in most fundraising offices, and why homogeneity in decision-making is a financial risk The business case for donor diversification, including why engaging Latinx, Asian American, African American, LGBTQ+, and next-gen donors is essential for long-term growth How inclusive internal culture directly impacts donor retention, staff turnover, and relationship continuity A five-year forecast comparing equity-embracing organizations with those that resist change, and why the gap between them will continue to widen  Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey. We believe that the key to transformative fundraising is a disciplined system and structure, trusted accountability, persistence, and a bit of fun. We specialize in mid-level fundraising, major gifts, and planned giving, helping our clients to develop compelling donor offers and to focus on strategic leadership and organizational development.

In this second of two episodes, Julie asks Savannah about the journey she and other gender-expansive persons have experienced from a tender age of 5-years-old, to the draw to the feminine, to the resulting shame and guilt one might experience during their secretive discovery of self, to accepting and fianlly becoming expansive in a still-gender-rigid world. Savannah and Julie talk frankly and emotionally about a life with some regrets, and a lot of hope.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States.

They'll know we're Christians because... we don't vandalize buildings? In this special episode of The Narrative, Aaron Baer, Maria Baer, David Mahan, and Mike Andrews pull back the curtain on Aaron’s recent appearance at the historic City Club of Cleveland and the firestorm that erupted around it. The team unpacks what it was like to share the Gospel in a room defined by spiritual oppression and LGBTQ activism, while protesters outside resorted to vandalism and intimidation. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes stories legacy media refused to cover—including the "gotcha" questions that backfired and how accusations of "hate" collided with basic statements of reality like men can’t get pregnant and children deserve protection. Beyond the headlines, this conversation reveals the deep cultural divide on display and why Christians cannot retreat from the public square, even when the cost is real.

The discussion in this episode centers on the transformative work of Future Church, as articulated by our esteemed guests, Russ Petrus, Olivia Hastie, and Martha Ligas. They elucidate how Future Church endeavors to amplify marginalized voices within the Catholic Church, thereby promoting inclusivity and fostering a spirit of ecumenicism. The conversation delves into the pivotal changes that Future Church has initiated, particularly regarding the roles of women and the LGBTQ community within ecclesiastical structures. Furthermore, we explore how these efforts resonate with the broader themes of unity and reform across various Christian denominations. The insights shared by our guests illuminate the ongoing challenges and hopeful possibilities for a more equitable future within the Church. The discourse in this enlightening episode delves into the profound implications of Future Church's mission and its pivotal role in shaping modern Catholicism. I find the conversation both timely and critical, as we explore the rich tapestry of diversity within the Church, drawing from the sacred text of Galatians where St. Paul articulates a transformative vision of unity in Christ. The guests, including Russ Petrus and Martha Ligas, elucidate the challenges and victories of advocating for inclusive practices that echo the early Church's embrace of varied leadership roles, particularly emphasizing the necessity of amplifying marginalized voices. Through thoughtful reflections, we navigate the intersection of scriptural interpretation and contemporary ecclesial challenges, ultimately calling for a re-envisioning of our communal worship practices. I am particularly struck by the emphasis on how these discussions not only reflect theological considerations but also resonate deeply within the socio-political landscape of the Church today, urging us to confront our historical legacies and aspire towards a more equitable future. The conversation presented in this episode is a profound exploration of the Future Church's mission and its implications for the Catholic Church at large. I am drawn to the articulation of a vision that seeks to reclaim and uplift those voices that have historically been marginalized within ecclesiastical structures. The guests, including Olivia Hastie and Russ Petrus, challenge us to envision a Church that not only acknowledges but celebrates its diversity. Their insights into the ongoing efforts for women's inclusion within the diaconate highlight the intersection of faith and justice, as they advocate for a liturgical renewal that reflects the fullness of God's creation. As I listen, I am inspired by their commitment to fostering a culture of listening and dialogue that transcends traditional barriers, encouraging all of us to engage actively in the pursuit of unity within the body of Christ. This episode serves as a poignant reminder that the journey towards inclusivity is not merely a goal but a continuous process of transformation that requires our collective effort and unwavering faith.Takeaways:The Future Church organization strives to amplify marginalized voices within the Catholic Church, fostering inclusivity and active participation.Russ Petrus highlights the need for the Church to embrace diversity in its community, particularly around issues of gender and identity.The ongoing discussions surrounding women's roles in the Church reflect a broader movement towards reform and justice within Catholicism.Martha Ligas emphasizes the importance of listening to one another in building church unity and compassion across diverse communities.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Jeremy Robinson about how executive coaching will impact HR in the future. Jeremy Robinson's career as a leadership coach and trainer/developer of executive coaches has had breadth and depth since it's inception. His executive coaching work skyrocketed in the early 2000 as buzz about the benefits of training key talent in emotional intelligence was starting to get loud. Robinson was sought out by several major pharmaceutical and financial service corporations which had just put serious efforts into designing executive coaching initiatives for key talent and high potentials. He migrated success at those companies through his knack at winning an over eighty-percent rate of coaching chemistry meetings with prospective clients. Soon, he became known as an executive coaching generalist who worked with both large and small organizations that had a commitment to empowering female, African-American, Latino and LGBTQ+ leaders. His practice has continued to develop as Jeremy has added a team coaching certification and group coaching work to his executive coaching remit. To date his has coached over 400 executive coaching clients. Check out all of the podcasts in the HCI Podcast Network!
