Coming to you from Park City Utah, we’ve decided to unleash a number of issues on you. This episode, you’ll hear us ranting about the meanness we see all over social media, disrespected step-parents, entitlement and much more. We’ll also be sharing a new feature of our website where YOU can get your ranting out anonymously. If you find yourself getting frustrated with social media these days or the disrespect felt in your parenting situations, this episode is for you. We will not only be sharing our rants but also sharing some insight and possible solutions that can make things so much easier for you and the people you interact with and have relationships with. 4:19 – 5:34 - Why we’re ranting in this episode. 5:35 – 7:25 - A safe place where you can rant and get things off your chest. 7:26 – 12:46 - The meanness we’re seeing on social media and what to do when you get fired up. 12:47 – 16:05 - How to deal with feeling disrespected as a step-parent. 16:06 – 23:42 - The entitled mentalities people have and expectations that ruin things. 23:42 – 33:38 - The problem with black cars, perpetually messy kitchens and other fun rants you’ll most likely relate to. Takeaways: A place where you can write and rant anonymously – and the benefits of that. How to know when to engage (or disengage) from certain people or conversations. Why entitlement steals away appreciation and joy. How disagreement does NOT warrant insults or rudeness. Breaking away from the negative things that pull you down. Quotes: “You have the ability to mute someone or just see less of their content.” “When you earn something you appreciate it so much more. Things that come easy that you didn’t struggle for, that you didn’t earn – you don’t appreciate. You’re literally stealing the joy of this thing.” “When you’re in a disagreement—when is it ever the right thing to do to insult somebody or cut them down? Why is that ever the right way to handle it?” 3 Interesting Clips: 7:50 – 8:25 – Protect yourself and your brain from too much of the wrong stuff. 11:45 - 12:42 - The irony in how the phrase “with all due respect..” is used. 18:42 - 19:24 - Why your ego and expectations are ruining things.

In this episode, I talk with Lolita E. Walker about the power of sitting in your pause and how it “will revolutionize your mindset to action.” Lolita shares about her experience of transitioning into motherhood and bringing her infant son home after spending 52 days in the NICU. We dive deep into the importance of setting boundaries, communicating our expectations, starting our day with intentionality and the responsibility we have in shaping our children’s positive mindset.   Lolita shares how she takes moments each morning to “create my space and [my son and I] communicate about it so that the expectations are set and he is a respecter of my space, similar to me to his space.  Affirmations make up a big part of my DNA and I stand upon a strong foundation of faith.  These bring intentional movements into my morning before we start the Walker & Walker routine.” Lolita is a small business owner, a published author, podcaster, and speaker but at the end of the day she’s a Change Champion. She wants to help you navigate where you are to where you absolutely DESERVE to be!

We can all agree that we want the best for our children. However, when you are a co-parent, it can be hard not to feel competitive with your ex-spouse as to who is doing the better job. So today I want to discuss how to avoid conflict with your ex-partner to ensure you are not putting your children’s mental health on the line, and instead keeping your home a safe and happy place for them. Listen in as I explain the different types of competition between co-parents, describing some that you may even be unaware of. You will learn the importance of remembering that your child’s opinion will form naturally of their other parent and it does not need to be influenced by your negative thoughts toward your ex-partner. Your children deserve to have both of their parents, and it is possible to make that work, so don't miss this episode! 1:54 - 6:24 - How to avoid co-parenting conflict. 6:24 - 11:45 - Common types of competition that are seen. 11:45 - 16:16 - Why it is actually up to the child to form an opinion of their parents. 16:16 - 25:25 - What if we didn’t have to label one thing as good or bad? 25:25 - 33:22 - How to create a healthy and loving environment for your child. Takeaways: Common types of competition between co-parents. Why “buying” your children’s love is not healthy. It’s not up to us to decide a child's opinion of their other parent. There are different ways of parenting. Don’t taint something because it is not your ideal. Quotes: “The thing that really breaks my heart is seeing a child that is suffering emotionally.” “Children already want to please both parents. That’s a natural thing to get that love and pride from their parents.” “Shouldn’t it be up to the child to decide their opinion of their parent as they get older?” 3 Interesting Clips: 2:33 - 3:00 - Why competing for the love of your children can be toxic. 12:20 - 13:16 - Why it should be up to the child to decide their opinion of their parent 18:10 - 20:20 - There is no good or bad—just different.

Ruthie recently stirred up quite the conversation when she posted that God’s not in control Find out why! We also discussed decision making and authority, and how our business depends on understanding these principles. And...what’s a conversation with Ruthie without a little talk about the roots of our issues...bloodline curses and selling our birthrights. TOPICS: - Having a fatalistic mindset - Saying. “God must want it this way.” - Taking back the reins of control - Knowing your authority & not doubting - Bloodline curses at the root of physical issues - Tower of Babel blood - Buy, sell, trade in iniquity - Perfect patterns & perfect design - Layers/iterations of curses - Chaos theory and trigonometry - Gematria & numerology curses - Saturn’s cube - Babylonian power structures - Selling off the family line: Time, Money, Energy, Resources - Ancestors know what your inheritance is - Loss of spiritual understanding over the generations - Amanda Buys of Kanaan Ministries - Flipped, inverted, and vortexed curses - Sowing blessing and resources into your future bloodline - Cleansing the seed - How many seeds in our life have been altered - Genetic info held in seeds and passed down - Vortexing a curse - Intel coming from a demonic entity or a witch, etc. - Myth of “The Lord knows my heart.” - Webbing or tunnel systems in curses - Ancestors tricked and manipulated, as well as evil - Nephilim influence - Flowing Holy Spirit in your temple - “Game of Thrones” vying for your territory and authority - Erasing your Father imprint - Medications, GMO, non-organic, refined white sugar - Giving imprint to another power source - DNA, RNA & chromosomes - Blessing in making a decision, activation - Holy Spirit is interested in seeing what you’re going to do. - God gave you a massive powerhouse decision maker - use it! GOLD NUGGETS 1. Once and done may not cut it when it comes to breaking off bloodline curses. You may have to dig for intel and break it off layer by layer - even to 30 or 50 layers because the curse goes down that far. 2. Constantly ask questions to get intel on what curses to break off. Where did we leave off? What needs to happen next? How far did we get? What’s happening now? What do you see? What is your level of understanding? What happened when we worked on the last piece? And so on… 3. Cover what your ancestors rec’d from trading the blood, and pieces of your inheritance with the blood of Yeshua. Call it back in times seven! 4. You’ve GOT to get to the level of specificity to cleanse the seed. You can’t expect God to do it for you. YOU have to do it. Be bold, get in the driver’s seat, and do it. 5. Regarding “God is in control,” we need to break alignment, and repent for coming into agreement with the ideology and belief system and acting on that belief. Ask for forgiveness and serve it a bill of divorce. Make an agreement that you are going to activate and make alignment instead with your destiny scroll and assignment. Partner with Yeshua in making the decision. When you progress forward you’re demonstrating that you’re acting in faith. QUOTES: - The blessing is in the decision; the blessing is in making the choice. - One of the most beautiful gifts you can give your grandchildren is a clean bloodline. ~ Amanda Buys - You have to get all the way down to the meat of the curse that needs to be cleared, and not just circle the drain. - Don’t lie to yourself and say that God wanted it this way when you can’t get rid of a curse pattern in your life. No, he doesn’t. He wants you to do the work and get that thing cleared! - Tell them to decide. Tell them to activate. Tell them to make the decision. ~ Holy Spirit - We just need to trust that God trusts us.

As a pioneer in the contemporary Enneagram movement, Ian is a highly sought-after speaker for large conferences and corporate boardrooms alike.  Ian is a master teacher of the Enneagram, an ancient personality typing system that identifies nine types of people and how they relate to one another and the world. The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding why we behave the way we do, and how our personalities are powerfully influenced by our motivations. It provides a framework for how we can begin to live into our most authentic selves, and also reveals the wisdom each personality type can offer to others. The Enneagram is therefore not just a powerful tool for personal growth, but also a great resource for transforming our relationships in every sphere of life. In daylong workshops, Ian can provide an overview of the Enneagram, describe the nine personality types in-depth, and speak to the myriad ways in which the Enneagram can enrich our personal, professional and spiritual lives. The Enneagram is perfect for marriage and parenting seminars, church staff and lay-leadership training, corporate settings, non-profits, and board of director’s retreats.

Thanks for tuning in to the second episode of our conversation with Kate Dixon, the creator of Pay UP: Unlocking the Secrets of Salary Negotiation. On our last episode, Anthony discussed all things salary from the perspective of the sales organization. They touched on the generation of a package, commission versus base pay, retention, relationships with sales representatives, and more. Today, Anthony and Kate are shifting their point of view to that of a sales professional. How do you negotiate a compensation plan? What are the first steps to approaching that conversation? Find out this and more on today’s episode of Catapulting Commissions.   When we’re thinking about starting a job search, Anthony and Kate discuss the first steps you can take to prepare yourself for an upcoming negotiation. First and foremost, Kate says, is to get clear on what’s important to you in a compensation plan. Do you value having the ability to blow the ceiling off your sales commission? How much weight does vacation time play for you? These are all things to consider when looking for a new position. Secondly, and equally as important, is having a “floor.” This is the minimum you feel you would need to take the job. When you’re crafting that minimum, research is certainly crucial--there are tons of online sources you can use to get a sense of what a respectable plan could look like. Have conversations and know your worth. It’s not about how valuable you are as a person, it’s how a company values that role. It’s okay if it’s not a match--it’s better to find out earlier than later.   There are two types of salary negotiation: there’s offering a job to someone, and there is the kind of negotiation where someone is already working at the company who feels they may be in line for more compensation.   When a job is being offered, it’s the consensus among sales recruiters that getting a ballpark in the open early in the conversation is the way to go. It doesn’t make sense to waste everybody’s time if there is a complete disconnect. Expectations regarding salary may not come up in the first conversation, but the second is a good time to be prepared to state what you want or bring it up more passively.   If you’ve been with the company for an amount of time, and you feel as though the value you bring is worth more to the dollar, approaching a salary conversation can be complicated. The key, Kate says, is to really lean into your value. Come with a list of achievements and impacts! Lead with what good you’ve done, and demonstrate your commitment to the organization. Bring up your research and how it relates to your target salary. It’s about emotionally disconnecting and making the sale. You can be collaborative and still be firm without being threatening. Kate encourages people to lay the target on the table and see how close “we” can get to that. Avoid saying “meet in the middle.” Don’t cheat yourself! As Kate puts it, “There’s no harm in asking. There’s harm in being a jerk about it.” You are selling yourself and the value you bring. People make decisions based on the pain you can help them avoid and the pleasure it is to have them on their team. Anthony and Kate shift gears into startups. They are popping up exponentially all over the country. If you’re ready to shift into something like that, it’s important to realize the balance between equity, commission structure, and base salary. Startups are often difficult to get off the ground, but they need exceptional salespeople. They’re a great way to express your values in a meaningful way. Don’t settle for nothing--while equity COULD be valuable, it could be worthless as well. Whenever negotiating with a new company, be sure to understand what happens in every scenario. Oftentimes we can be sold the dream without thinking about it first.   What you’ll learn   In this episode, you’ll learn the in’s and out’s of pay negotiation from the perspective of a sales leader. Kate breaks down how to start the conversation, how to approach a negotiation, and some pitfalls to keep an eye out for.   LINKS Connect with Kate: Her website: https://katedixon.org/ LinkedIn: Kate Dixon, Coach

This week on Inside the Greenroom, we have the top three finalists from our recent Speak Off. As you know, the Speak Off looked different this year as we shifted from our annual Reach Live event, into A360i. The stage was set, the signature talks were written, rehearsed, and ready to go, and the speakers were managing the butterflies in their stomachs in the weeks leading up to what we call “The American Idol of Speaking.” Then, in what felt like a split second, everything changed. The Speak Off contestants went from preparing to wow a live crowd to speaking into a webcam. These top three contests represent the best in the business. Speakers who can flip on a dime, go with the flow, and approach the stage and the screen with the same energy and passion is something we all can learn from in a digital age.   Join Blair Bryant Nichols Inside The Greenroom as he interviews Ganelle Elliott from Essentially Woman, The Founder at Extreme Martial Arts, Garrett Poole, and Grand-prize Speak Off winner and music therapist, Tim Ringgold.

More About Garret: Over the last 20 years, I have devoted my life to self-defense and training with professionals, even winning a world championship, but none of that touches my heart more than the 9,654 students I have taught in-person to date how to defend themselves. I founded “Lady In Defense” a roadmap for abused women that focuses on the whole person. Mind, Body, Heart & Spirit. Where we focus on escaping the chains of our past, healing our wounds, rediscovering who we are and finding our courage and bravery again   More about Ganelle:  Ganelle Elliott is an IT professional, speaker, and women's empowerment coach.  With a 19 year career in IT, Ganelle understands the unique challenges that professional women face when attempting to balance career aspirations with creating a fulfilling home life.   Building a successful career in a male-dominated industry held its own unique challenges. The years were full of chronic stress, fleeting confidence, and crippling fears of rejection... all exacerbated by the relentless need for perfection.  After being hospitalized from spontaneous lung collapse, Ganelle needed a change.  She sought out other women who could help her navigate the jungle of burnout, but that pool of mentors was completely bare.  In 2014, she decided to educate herself on burnout and study personal development.  After 4 years of trial and error, Ganelle finally discovered how an ambitious woman could break the vicious cycle of burnout and overwhelm.    Today, Ganelle lives burnout free with her husband and step-daughter.  She has stepped into her courage and determination, faced her inner critic, and gave herself permission to live a fulfilled life.  Now Ganelle is on a mission to help other professional women break free from burnout, step into their power, to live their most epic lives.

Netflix in the TV industry, Uber in the Taxi industry, Airbnb in the hotel industry, Tesla in the car industry, and countless others. These are just some of the incredible brands or companies that came into an industry and disrupted the norm with brilliance and innovation.  The emphasis in 2020 on digital events isn’t a company or service but has disrupted the industry just the same. That’s not always a bad thing you can embrace disruption and push yourself to new heights, or you can be the person dreaming about the “good old days” or waiting for everything to be “normal again”. The choice is up to you. In today’s podcast, Blair interviews Greg Beach from Event Strategy Group. Greg has 27 years of experience in the event space. From running an exhibit house that serviced the event industry,  helping companies grow through events, booking speakers, planning, coordinating, and everything in between, Greg is a true industry expert.

Main Points:Joia walks us through her journey in being an artist and how art has always been at the core of who she is. “I wanted to make my mark in the world in a way that lasts forever so even when I am gone and no longer this vessel, I can still have a piece of me here to tell people who I was and who I am.” We get into the style of art she creates and the inspiration behind her work. Joia speaks to how white individuals can be allies for the black community. She talks about how important empathy is and taking the time to learn. “You become a part of the problem if you turn a blind eye to it.” She encourages us to really understand why we are supporting certain things and letting it come from a real place & to be aware of only doing things for attention / recognition.We touch upon how everyone’s way of showing up during these times is going to look a little different.Joia shares some of her own personal experiences + encounters she has had being black. “They love the culture, but they don’t love the people behind it.”She shares her thoughts on defunding the police, reformation, and having higher standards + qualifications in the police force. The importance of there being a connection to the police and the communities in which they are working.We discuss our vision for the future. Joia speaks to the importance of accountability in achieving a world full of peace, love, and harmony. She encourages us to remember this time as a deep lesson of respect for one another; that when we look back in time, we will always remember that we went through this together and we looked out for one another.

Apart of Elyse’s “Best Of” Series, the following episode is a reposting of Episode 54 - Diversity and Inclusion in Your Business w/ Brittany Cole. ---  Welcome back to the Instant Impact podcast with your host, Elyse Archer. Today’s guest is Brittany Cole, a speaker, coach, and consultant that is passionate about equipping leaders to cultivate an inclusive culture where diverse talent believe they belong. In addition to her corporate achievements, Brittany founded Career Thrivers, which is a leadership development firm that partners with organizations to engage, develop and retain diverse talent through targeted leadership development. She’s here to talk with Elyse about diversity and inclusion in marketing, how we can be more intentional about being more inclusive, how to have those tough conversations if we’re not sure where to start, and she shares some tactical tips and strategies you can apply to your work today.  Brittany first breaks down three cornerstones of this important conversation. Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity are often used interchangeably when in fact, they’re very different things: Diversity: This is ‘difference.’ This can mean many different things. Primary Diversity--things you can’t change (age, ethnicity, race, etc.) and Secondary Diversity (things like education).   Inclusion: The intentional act of including that difference.   Equity: Outcomes that aren’t determined by difference.    Being diverse and being inclusive are two separate entities. It’s important to be intentional and ask how you are including difference. Brittany touches on how it starts with a culture of inclusion. Adding diversity for the sake of adding it won’t retain valuable perspectives--perspectives you would’ve otherwise left on the table.   They discuss the idea of customer Avatars and how we can avoid unintentionally passing over other populations. Brittany talks about the key practice of testing, expanding, and reevaluating your avatar. Sometimes this can turn into an entirely new avatar! As you test the waters, listen to the feedback and don’t hesitate to pivot.  Brittany offers insight into some of the biggest mistakes she sees in terms of messaging. The number one mistake, she says, is business owners wanting to START with visuals and copy. It’s crucial that you have a strong understanding of how you’re serving people, who you’re serving, how you measure that, and really what your brand is. Social media is a way to scale a message, not build it. Your strategy should inform the creative assets, not the other way around. As Elyse puts it, it’s like building a house without a blueprint! Finally, Brittany shares three tactical steps we can take today to implement intentional inclusion and how to have those tough conversations.   Be aware. Take inventory! What does it take for you to achieve awareness of an opportunity to improve. Find people you feel don’t look like your average client. Have those conversations with a different audience! Make a commitment to take action. Implement what you’ve learned and live it! And to have those conversations, these are the steps she recommends:   Address the problem and be open to talking about the opportunity you have within your organization.  Lead your vulnerability. Have that emotional connection with those you’re trying to reach.    LINKS Connect with Brittany at CareerThivers.com  Request a free Brand Strategy Call: http://thebrandbuildersgroup.com/callelyse

Your day to day environment will either bring out the best of your talent and energy, or will cause them to lie dormant and fade away. For years, my energy would fluctuate, my motivation would go up and down and I really didn’t know there was a solution other than just listen to motivational things all the time. When a mentor shared how important creating a winning environment for myself really was, my whole life changed. In this masterclass, I share tons of examples of how environment plays a crucial role in your output, but most importantly the simple steps that you can take RIGHT NOW, to create a winning environment so that you can thrive at maximum output!
