Have you ever spoken to someone thinking “How can I deliver this thought for their sake and not for my sake? How can I say something not to get it off my chest but for the message to be heard by the other person?” There is something magnificent in finding insights, looking beneath what is written, questioning it, finding new hidden meaning, and coming up with a whole fresh concept. I get totally tickled when I read something I've been saying for 1 million years, (yes, I'm that old!) and yet I find a fresh nuance that enters my mind as a flash of insight. This is the insight I want to share with you today. I invite you to listen to my 7 min reflection podcast and contemplate: 1️⃣ What are the ways in which you feel at peace? What are the additional feelings when the value of peace is practiced as a daily/weekly habit? 2️⃣ How are you a light to others? When do you feel that you are a light to others and when do you see that light within you? 3️⃣ How are you a blessing to others? What are your blessings? Can you come up with 3 new blessings every day? Until next time, Enjoy your weekend friends! And don't forget--Be Positive, Be Yourself, Be the Champion You Want to See!

Rikki developed a passion for public speaking at a young age, but ended up in the insurance industry. However, they pursued qualifications and training, attending conferences and discovering a love for personal development speakers, which were not yet popular in the UK. After speaking at several events, Rikki was encouraged to join the National Speaker Association. They took the leap and joined the association. Attending a NSA conference in the US in 1995 proved to be a life-changing experience (can you imagine sitting next to Zig Ziglar?!). After their transformative experience, Rikki felt compelled to create a community for like-minded speakers back home. Drawing on inspiration from their own journey and the encouragement of friends, they founded the Professional Speaking Association. Now, through their expertise, they assist business leaders and professional speakers in utilising storytelling to enhance the impact of their presentations and motivate their audience to take action. Leveraging their personal stories and experiences as a non-binary trans individual, they also aid business leaders in promoting greater LGBTQ+ inclusivity within their organisations, leading to increased profitability. Don't miss Rikki's episode as they share their tips for captivating audiences with inspiring storytelling and creating a LGBTQ-inclusive business that makes all clients feel welcome and encourages authentic self-expression. “To create a business that's more welcoming and inclusive to everyone, I would recommend you start engaging with people from different cultures and backgrounds.” - Rikki Arundel Highlights In this value-packed episode you'll learn: How to handle or approach people and cultures you don't understand. A helpful way to make your business truly inclusive. The difference between women and men's storytelling. Tips for tapping into and utilising both your feminine and masculine attributes. The importance of learning how to speak up without feeling the fear of judgement. "Being able to say what you think, what needs to be done, and expressing your own view comes from a certain level of confidence that you have to develop." - Rikki Arundel About Rikki Rikki Arundel is an award winning speaker and was the founder of the UK Professional Speaking Association. However in 2002 their speaking career almost ended when they made the difficult decision to transition and begin living as a woman. Faced with considerable discrimination they changed direction, completing a masters degree in gender research and establishing themselves as a Gender expert.

“When it comes to money, numbers and taxes, face it and face it early so that you give yourself the best chance of success. “ Tatiana Tsoir Long-term business success is not coincidental or based on luck. To increase the odds of success, a business has to be established within strong foundational structures. Tatiana Tsoir has been working with businesses to help them grow and thrive, and notes that the earlier the process begins, the sooner the business will become stable and productive. Tatiana Tsoir, CPA, MBA, is a Transformative Business & Finance Expert, Certified Life Coach, Author, Speaker, and Podcast Host. A fervent believer that the key to freedom lies in entrepreneurship, Tatiana specializes in helping individuals prepare and transition from the antiquated 9-5, to starting and running their own companies. Over the last 16+ years, Tatiana has used her expertise in tax planning and price psychology to help hundreds of businesses become more profitable, stabilize cash flow, and pay less in taxes through a combination of tax strategies, operational planning, and commitment to excellence. In her signature mastermind program, “Something That's Yours,” she supports women in learning to color outside of the lines and go after their bold dreams so that they can be their own boss and make money doing what they love. Tatiana is a frequent speaker at conferences, is the author of "Dream Bold, Start Smart: Be Your Own Boss & Make Money Doing What You Love" and host of the podcast Talk to Tatiana in which she has conversations with world experts about their entrepreneurial journey. Tatiana has been featured in Forbes, US News & Report, Business Insider, GoBankingRates, Bankrate, CBS, The List, The Daily CPA, NTD, Thrive Insider, and National Speaker Association. In this episode, Tatiana talks about the importance of starting a business with the right guidance, and how she helps businesses get their numbers right. Listen in! Media Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatiana-tsoir/ https://twitter.com/tatianaacct https://web.facebook.com/tatianatsoir/?_rdc=1&_rdr Book Link: https://amzn.to/35RZWuP I focus on working primarily with the small businesses and small business owners, because I think business is personal. I work with entrepreneurs in a number of ways including identifying the gaps in their management and their mindset, so that they can build businesses that are profitable. I also advise them on different systems, and *9how to organize the operations of the company so that it's efficient and also yields the best results. Tax planning comes as part of all of the advisory and coaching that I do with clients because it's an integral part of having a profitable business. I have noticed that I can only work with a very limited number of clients so that I can have impact. By writing my book, I realized that I can transform the lives of many more people than just working directly as an accountant. Covid -19 hit everybody differently, but the response to that is what made a difference for everyone. The sooner you realize that crises happen and passes, the more proactive you become in handling the situation, and that makes a difference. With the crisis response curve, the idea is to know that with every crisis, you need an approach that will get you through the shock and desperate phase as quickly as possible. Commercial break The book process has been extremely involving, but also very rewarding, and my approach was to look at who the ideal reader is and the core message to them. The book is for someone who has a business idea, and cannot afford to fail, and therefore needs that roadmap in plain English, on money, numbers and taxes. Businesses do start with a vision, however, the problem is that some fail to make it over five years because their vision is not supported by numbers. Part two of the book, I present specific steps to take when creating and pricing your product, and managing your cash flows. When it comes to money, numbers and taxes, face it and face it early so that you give yourself the best chance of success ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

Tara Jaraysi Kenning: "Teamwork makes the dream work." John C. Maxwell. I'm Tara Jaraysi Kenning, and I'm a Tri-Cities influencer. Paul Casey: So to be a go-to guy or a go-to girl, you must push through your fear of failure. Announcer: Raising the water level of leadership in the Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington, it's the Tri-Cities Influencer Podcast. Welcome to the TCI podcast, where local leadership and self-leadership expert, Paul Casey, interviews local CEOs, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit executives to hear how they lead themselves and their teams so we can all benefit from their wisdom and experience. Here's your host, Paul Casey of Growing Forward Services, coaching and equipping individuals and teams to spark breakthrough success. Paul Casey: It's a great day to grow forward! Thanks for joining me for today's episode with Michelle Whitney. She's the superintendent of the Pasco School District. And fun fact about her, she's sort of a driver. So she said she can do a two-minute meditation a lot faster! Michelle, tell us about that. Michelle Whitney: Well, I just think it's about efficiency. You've got a lot to do. Two-minute meditation, we do it in 30 seconds. We move on to the work. We have things to do. I don't have time for that. Paul Casey: And her staff teases her about how fast she walks. Michelle Whitney: Right. Paul Casey: It's with intention. Well, we're going to dive in after checking in with our Tri-City Influencer sponsor, Mario Martinez, Northwestern Mutual. Mario what types of services do you offer? Mario Martinez: Hey, Paul. Thank you for letting me be on here. We run bifurcated practices in that we focus in two areas of financial plan. The first one is we do protection pieces, which include life insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance, really the things that people should be focused on to protect their families, their businesses. On the other side of our practices, we do investment services. On the investment platforms, we do both the brokerage platform, and we do the advisory level services. So depending on what someone's looking for as far as guidance on their investment strategies, we can curtail and build a strategy for them that makes sense. Paul Casey: Mario, how can people get in touch with you? Mario Martinez: The easiest way, you can reach out to me directly on my business cell phone is 509-591-5301. You can send me an email at mario.martinez@nm.com. Or you can reach out to us on our social media platforms, the easiest one being Mario Martinez Northwestern Mutual on Facebook. Paul Casey: Thank you for your support of leadership development in the Tri-Cities. Well, welcome, Michelle! I was privileged to meet you seven years ago in Leadership Tri-Cities. You were class- Michelle Whitney: 18. Paul Casey: And another one of the best classes ever, right? Michelle Whitney: That's right. We were actually the best class. Paul Casey: Oh, okay. I see. As opposed to number 11, which really was. Yes, and you had a different job at that time in the school district. You had gone from being a middle school principal into HR. Michelle Whitney: Yeah. Everyone was glad to see me when I was a middle school principal, and that changed drastically when I became director of HR. So it was tough transition. Paul Casey: HR managers, we love you! Thanks for listening. So Michelle, tell us your career highlights that got you to where you are today so our Tri-City influencers can get to know you and why you love what you do. Michelle Whitney: Well, I appreciate that question. I have a huge commitment to public service. My grandparents were both public servants. My grandfather was a police officer and chief of police of Pasco. My great-grandmother was a nurse at Our Lady of Lourdes, so I really come from a foundation in my family of civic service, and in particular, civic service to the community of Pasco. So I always wanted to be a teacher, and it was only right for me to tailor my education to be able to come back to a community that I loved and that my family had served in such amazing roles. And to be important in the lives of the students in Pasco has just been a gift. Michelle Whitney: And I've been extraordinarily blessed to serve in a variety of roles. I was a kindergarten teacher. I taught fourth grade. I was a counselor. I was a technology facilitator, a librarian. Paul Casey: Wow. Michelle Whitney: And it was always really just about offering my unique skills and talents to the organization so that I could be of best use to the organization and the kids of Pasco. Michelle Whitney: And then I really started a leadership journey, which I never intended to end up in a leadership role, but I was invited to the leadership table, if you will, by a mentor of mine. And I just feel a lot of gratitude towards the amazing mentors I've had over my career. I never saw myself that way, and it was by someone else recognizing those leadership talents in me and encouraging me in that direction that I took the risk to do an administrative internship program, became an assistant principal and then principal at the middle school. Then that started the trajectory into the district office with director of HR, which, having been a middle school principal and a counseling background, I was really uniquely prepared to do that job. Paul Casey: Yeah! Michelle Whitney: And I actually really loved that work. People joke with HR managers, but I do believe that in any organization, being able to be at the front line of hiring talent into an organization is just an extraordinary opportunity and gift. So that was amazing, and then I stepped into some other district office jobs. Michelle Whitney: And again, I would love to tell you I had this trajectory. I was going to teach kindergarten and then be the superintendent, but it wasn't really like that. And the opportunity to apply for the superintendency became open, and it really was about me throwing my name into the hat for a leadership position in a district I loved my entire life. And to be awarded that position was one of the greatest moments and has continued to be great moments since I was awarded the position. Michelle Whitney: I'm going into my fifth year. Every single year has had its complications. Every single year, I've been proud to be on the team and honored to do my part. So I have the best job ever, and the best part of my job is the students for sure. So sorry adults, you're second. Kids will always be first. Paul Casey: And I heard you tear up pretty easily when you think about those wonderful students. Michelle Whitney: I do. I do. In our organization, it's not uncommon for me to stand in front of a group of people, and I say, "We are," and the response is, "Pasco." It really for us is an outward commitment to our value of standing in the gap and bridging the divide for the students who need us the most. So when I'm in front of students or I'm in front of staff, it is not uncommon for me to be emotional about it because it isn't just a job for me. It truly me living that outward commitment every day. Michelle Whitney: And even when it's hard, I feel so extraordinarily blessed to be able to be part of what we're doing. And then when it's great and there's a success, those successes are just that much sweeter, and they really do truly move me to tears. Even talking to you about it, I get goosebumps. I live my purpose every day. And they say if you live your purpose, you never work a day in your life, and I truly feel like that I'm lucky in that way. Paul Casey: I think we're done here. That was an amazing- Michelle Whitney: Well, there you go. See? Efficiency. Paul Casey: ... story. Michelle Whitney: I told you. Paul Casey: That was an amazing story. Now I want to cry too. But living your purpose, so huge. Obviously, that's why I do what I do as a coach is to help people do exactly what you are feeling right now, so that's awesome. Paul Casey: Let's go back to that crossroads where you are going to take the jump into leadership or not, and you decided to move that direction. What helped you make that decision, and also what advice would you give someone else who might also be at a crossroads? "Should I take the jump into leadership, or should I just stay as a individual performer that I'm doing really well at?" Michelle Whitney: Right. So I think what helped me make that jump and take that risk was the courage of the support of the mentorship I had. So had it not been for Jean Carlton, who was the person who very first invited me into a leadership role, she really stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me in those early years in making sense of who I would be as a leader. And without that personal connection with her, I'm not sure I would have had the courage to take that first step. So I think that, as a leader now, I find that one of my purposes is to recognize other leaders and invite them in and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them. I don't think you can ever underestimate the power of somebody with that invitation and that offer of support.... I could give you a list of 100 people that have been amazing mentors to me. And I just I think it's that support from trusted mentors that gave me the courage to do it. Michelle Whitney: Really as I reflect back on it now as having had some experience and I hope some wisdom, there's really, all of us, no matter what role you play, you're a leader in your own right. So there's never really a downside to leaning in to the desire to explore that leadership characteristics of yourself. The worst thing that's going to happen is you're going to learn some great skills and learn some things about yourself that will make you even better at what you're currently doing. But if you take that little bit of a risk, and maybe it's just a toe dip, it doesn't have to be a full jump at first, you'll likely find that it's a good fit for you. And then that success breeds success, and the more you try it out a little, and it's like you put the sweater on and it fits pretty good so you wear it around a little bit. But I would just encourage people, especially if you're nervous, find a trusted mentor, start slow, start small, but just continue to take those steps, and it's only going to make you better at whatever you choose to do. Michelle Whitney: You may never choose to be the person that is the front of a large organization, but leadership skills, regardless of what you choose to do, will always just make you a better contributor. And that's really what we are as leaders is contributors. So I would encourage anyone to take the risk if you're thinking about it, and again, find a trusted mentor that you can lean on because there are times where it's challenging, and you'll have self-doubts and having that mentor you can go to and be vulnerable about that is very important. Paul Casey: Fantastic answer because leadership is influence wherever you're at, and it will fill up your game no matter what you're doing. And I love how you said mentorship was a courage builder for you, even up to 100 people, which is probably true. It's probably not hyperbole. There's just a ton of people that we would not have taken that extra step had it not been for someone giving us that boost and saying you can do it. Maybe you're further along your journey, and you're like you need to turn around and bring somebody with you and mentor them, even if it's informal and you don't call it mentoring, but you want to help somebody along their journey. Paul Casey: Like you said, in five years, you've had a lot of issues to deal with in your position. You're smiling still! That's good. A lot of hassles, a lot of disappointments, a lot of things that get in the news making some people choose one side of an issue or another. But then there's the rewarding part of the job. We're not going to go into those other places. Here's the rewarding question, What allows you to focus then on those most rewarding things, and what is actually the most rewarding part of your job? Michelle Whitney: Well, I was very serious when I said the most rewarding part of my job is students. And, from the very first day that I started as superintendent and actually even prior during my successor year, I had a transition year, which was gift, I prioritized being in classrooms. There is nothing more magical than the relationship between students and their teachers. So I scheduled on the calendar Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays every morning when we were in person to start in classroom. Michelle Whitney: Most days I would get there. Some days I wouldn't. I got there more than I would if I didn't schedule it in. Some days I could stay a long time. Some days I could only be in one or two classrooms, but I always prioritized that. And it does a lot of different things. Michelle Whitney: One, it keeps me connected to what teaching means now. It's been a while since I've been in a classroom, and teaching is not the same as when I was in a classroom. So I think that's very important to stay in touch with those you're in service to so you can do right by them in your decision-making. Michelle Whitney: But there is nothing that feeds my soul more than students. So in this pandemic environment, I've done the same thing in that I am scheduled to go into Zoom classrooms. And one morning, I was in a kindergarten classroom, and they were doing this good morning routine where they would say good morning to one another. And of course, I'm in tears. There's nothing more sweet than kindergartners saying good morning to each other by name. And it's those moments where you can really connect with why we do our work, the sweetest kindergarten doing the most genuine thing by saying good morning to one another reminds you that those hard moments are worth it, that there's students depending on you, and that there's this kindness in our system. That's what makes the hard moments for me worth it is I stay connected to those things that are closest to students, students, teachers in the classrooms. Michelle Whitney: And I have to tell you, that's what's made this pandemic so challenging is we're thrust into the really hard parts of our job for most of our job, and you have to be a lot more intentional about getting out and participating in those things that the really feel your soul, feed your bucket, whatever those things are that you say. For me, I have never lost sight of what it means to be a teacher. I walk around with a teacher's heart, and I think that's why I cry is it touches that part of me that is so important. And like I said, I stay really closely connected to students, and that for me is the difference in those dark moments. Paul Casey: So cool that you kept your goal of being physically present, even, well, Zoom is not physical, but you still kept that goal alive. You found a way to still be in classrooms, even though it's online in order to do that. That's pretty neat. Michelle Whitney: Yeah. It's incredible. I get to read stories, and the kids bring their puppies and baby sisters to the Zoom. So in so many ways, you get to experience even more of a student's life. So it's been a gift really. And while in-person education is what we're about and who we're about, there really truly have been some silver linings to this environment. Paul Casey: Mm-hmm (affirmative). And I was an elementary principal so I totally get teacher, vice principal, principal, the journey. And playing with the kids at recess was a bunch of fun. I even sprained my ankle one year playing freeze tag. Michelle Whitney: Mine was flag football. Paul Casey: Was it? Michelle Whitney: So yes. I, yeah. Paul Casey: It's like the scar of courage- Michelle Whitney: Yeah, it's a rite of passage. Yeah, uh-huh (affirmative). Paul Casey: But that is where the joy was for sure. So leaders must keep growing or they become irrelevant. How have you matured as a leader, I'll just say in these five years of being superintendent? Michelle Whitney: Oh, that's a great question. I think the number one way that I've matured as a leader is by listening. I do a lot of listening to the people that I'm in service to. So I meet with parents a lot. I've done lots of different ways of doing that. Of course, pre-pandemic I did community coffee events. I've done Soup with the Superintendent. Since the pandemic, I've done some virtual town hall meetings. You go out and listen, but it's listen with intention. And it's really listening to understand those you're in service to, what they need from you, and reflecting on those decisions that you need to make and the kind of leader you need to be on behalf of those you're in service to. Michelle Whitney: I also do a lot of listening to teachers and staff in a lot of the same ways by being present, and I have the most amazing thing. I have a superintendent student advisory council. So I have 30 high school students that meet with me six times a year, and we tackle really difficult issues together, whether it's planning for a new high school or changing boundaries or overcrowding issues or social, emotional, health issues. Again, it's about being present with them and listening to them and tailoring my leadership and the way that I make decisions and what I prioritize and focus on in a way that they need me to do right by them on their behalf. Michelle Whitney: I would love to tell you it was some professional development training I went to or some class I took, but it really wasn't. It was being present in my system and listening to those that I've made a commitment to represent and learning from them how I can be better and different in order to serve them in the best possible way. Michelle Whitney: High school kids know what they need from us, and know what they need from us around very complex issues. The most diligent group of people that I saw work on a set of boundaries in a couple of facilities plan was that superintendent student advisory council. Michelle Whitney: So I joke that really we should let the students run the place. I just need to buy lunch and give them a ride. They truly do know what they need from us, and we just have to create opportunity for them to participate. And it's in those moments where I feel like I'm my best self and I'm my best leader for them. And I feel like it's a gift. Paul Casey: Learning by listening. Yeah, I was part of a group in Richland School District. I feel like it was called Focus years ago. I don't know if it still exists today. I was part of the faith community then, too, to come in, and it was all the folks that cared about students and could provide auxiliary services. Plus, the principals were in there. Plus, these cream of the crop students were in there, and they blew me out of the water! The maturity of speaking in front of these scary adults, and they're holding their own and saying, "These are the programs that we got growing. These are the thing we needed." I could totally see how that would be an energizing meeting for you. Michelle Whitney: Oh, it's incredible. Paul Casey: Just to further validate the whole listening post, I had a boss who do a listening post, he would call it. He would invite a dozen of the constituent monthly, and he would ask the same set of questions to each one to hear on the ground level of how to serve them in a nonprofit. And then just yesterday, I'm part of the National Speaker Association, and a board member called me from the Northwest Chapter and just said, "I'm a board member, and I'm just trying to get ground-level intel of how we can best serve our constituency." And I was like, "Wow!" He followed up with an email, and we even played with a couple of ideas for the pandemic of how to speak virtually. I'm like, I think it's always a great move when a leader gets down on the ground with the frontline people, who know all the answers, like you said, they how to run the school, and listen to them. Paul Casey: Well, as a superintendent, it must be hard, with a huge to-do list and probably a billion emails coming in, to know how to spend your time, how to triage tasks, how to know what to delegate and what you have to own. How do you sort how to spend your time? Michelle Whitney: Yeah. That's a great question, and I'm going to be really honest with you because if I'm not, the people that know me will call me on that. That probably is my biggest weakness, because I believe so deeply in every single person that I'm in service to, and we have a large organization, almost 20,000 students, which represent 40 to 60,000 parents, 2,200 employees, five board members. And every single one of those interactions is important to me. So the whole delegation and all of that is absolutely a work in progress. Michelle Whitney: For me, I think one of the biggest pieces that I'm blessed with, and this may sound cliché, but it's absolutely critical is to have an executive assistant that you trust. My assistant is absolutely incredible. She knows what I need to work well. She knows what I need as a person to function well. She's my number one fan. I'm fairly certain I'm her favorite person in the universe above and beyond everyone else. And on those hard days, I know for sure that my assistant still likes me. That's just that, not only does she help me organize myself professionally, she makes sure I'm where I'm at with what I need, my calendar is organized and squared away, but she's also that person that's there to bolster and support on the days when days are tough. Michelle Whitney: And I think that executive assistant and, for me, superintendent of management relationship is so important to have a person that you can go, "Oh my gosh. I don't know how to... I'm not going to be able to get all this done," and something that you can delegate and help follow through with those priorities. Michelle Whitney: The other piece is I have a great team. And we're learning about the strengths of the team together over the last five years. We've utilized a book called StrengthsFinder 2.0. And that was really a game changer in terms of knowing and understanding where people fell out around those strength characteristics and really now trying to organize work function up against and those and trying to collapse some of the siloed nature of the way work is typically done in a large organization to be able to align work tasks with people's strengths. Michelle Whitney: So I'm not a great executor. That's not my strength. I'm big vision, relationships, but the details of beginning to end is not my strength, but I know I have a colleague and a teammate that that is her strength. So when I need help with that task, I go to that person. I think knowing the strengths and talents of the people around you is a real efficiency builder, and then having someone like an assistant like I have, Jenny is amazing, that really can help you prioritize, especially for someone like me that everything is equally important all the time. And that's just not viable in the long term. You can do that for a short period of time, but at some point, you need some help in making sure that you're keeping the right things up front all the time. Paul Casey: What do those meetings with Jenny look like? How do you sort, prioritize? What do you discuss? Is it regimented? Is it ad hoc? What does it look like? Michelle Whitney: Yeah. That's a great question. I think with Jenny and I, it's evolved over time. We started out with it being scheduled that if I get to go to a kid thing or meet with Jenny on virtual. Paul Casey: That's going to bump it. Yeah. Michelle Whitney: Yeah. So Jenny was getting bumped all the time. Then it became more ad hoc. Lately, what's been amazing about this virtual environment is she just comes to the meeting, whatever meeting I'm in that I feel like I'm going to need her in, she is in there virtually, and she can listen to the meeting and help me prioritize that way. My thinking post-pandemic, when we're back to a more normal environment, I think that organization works best for us. So those meetings that she can be at with me or helping facilitate or there as a note-taker, I think that, we've landed on that arrangement for us probably works better. Michelle Whitney: But I think the key to all of that is you have to figure it out for yourself. That management system with your assistant is going to be very assistant-and-manager-specific in terms of how your personality works. So the key is finding something that works. I don't think it has to look any single way, but it has to work for both of you. Paul Casey: Sounds good. Well, before we head into our next question on external relationships, a shout-out to our sponsor. Mario Martinez, Northwestern Mutual. Mario, why should people work with a financial advisor? Mario Martinez: Hey, Paul. That's a great question. Really, I think there's two types of people who should be seeking out a financial professional. The one person is somebody who has very limited access to financial guidance. Maybe they're a younger professional or somebody who just hasn't had an introduction to a financial professional yet. And the other type of person is really someone who has a lot of different exposure to different professionals. They just haven't found the one person that they really trust to take guidance from. So there's really an over-information in that sense. Those are really the two types of people that should be looking to be introduced to a financial professional. Paul Casey: Fantastic! So Mario, how can people get in touch with you? Mario Martinez: The easiest way is to reach out to me directly on my business cell phone, which is 509-591-5301. You can send an email to mario.martinez@nm.com, or you can find us on our business Facebook page, which is Mario Martinez Northwestern Mutual. Paul Casey: So it's been very clear, Michelle, that leadership is relationships for you, that you believe that like I do. You've talked about a lot of internal relationships within the school and school system. Now you've got this community around you. So how do you intentionally develop relationships with the City of Pasco and beyond? Michelle Whitney: That's a great question. I feel very lucky. The City of Pasco, the city manager, Dave Zabell in Pasco, we have what's called a Create Group. It's the port, the city, the public utility, the county. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out, but it's the leadership of the infrastructure of Pasco. And we meet monthly, and we keep each other updated on those core functions that would overlap. So for me, I often report out on facilities or potential construction projects. They're also very interested in our educational programming. So we give updates there. That, I think, is an incredible unique opportunity for us to partner as a collective for the good of our community. Michelle Whitney: I'm also a Kiwanian, and we have representation at all of the local groups like the Chamber of Commerce and so on. I think that's very important. Maybe it's not always me that's at those tables, but there's someone from our organization at those tables that can act as a liaison. Michelle Whitney: The other piece, though, for me is, like I mentioned earlier, those community coffees, that I do them monthly. I've done that almost consistently in at least the last four years if not five in some variation, whether it's at the Starbucks, or we did Soup with the Supe at the Booth Building one time. But that really is just an open invitation to anyone who wants to come and sit knee-to-knee, shoulder-to-shoulder with me. And we talk about whatever they want. It's not a pre-canned presentation that I do. They just bring topics and discussion and we talk about, and I answer whatever questions there are. I think those are the relationships, too. Michelle Whitney: So there's the organized groups that you would expect an organizational leadership to be interacting in. Certainly we participate in all of those, but there are people out there who want to build relationship or want to be in a relationship with the school district and don't maybe know how, or maybe don't know what they want to do. That's where those more informal opportunities like a community coffee come in really handy for people who just come and say, "Hey, here's a skill or talent I have. I want to get involved. How could that look?" And then I just am a big connector at that point, and I'm like, "Hey, you need to get in contact with that person." The night Jenny's there, and I say, "Hey, Jenny, will you get them in contact?" Then she takes care of making those connections. But it's that central location at the Starbucks community coffee that they know the superintendent will be there and listen. Michelle Whitney: Then over the last year or so, I've started to invite some of my executive team there, too, so that there's other people other than just me there that I can connect folks to. So that's been a great relationship builder. Then we have phenomenal programs like our PEAK! Partnership Program where I have a staff who go out and talk to organizations in the community that want to partner directly with schools. So we have some real innovative organized efforts like that as well. Michelle Whitney: We don't do the work for educating kids on our own. It's truly a system-wide and a community-wide effort to build that network of support and lift all of our students. And I'm proud to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in the community. Paul Casey: Well, Tri-City Influencer listeners, Soup with the Supe, so you could steal that idea if you're a supervisor- Michelle Whitney: There you go! Paul Casey: ... not just a superintendent. Michelle Whitney: That's right! Paul Casey: And post-COVID you can have with you. I love it! So we rarely talk about money on this podcast, but every leader has to know their organization's financials. I know you've got a whole finance department, I would assume, within the district. But what do you have to stay accountable to? What does evaluation of finances look like in your position? Michelle Whitney: Yeah, that's a great question. Education finance and funding has been in a state of flux over the last three or four years…Probably longer than that, but since I've been in the superintendency, it's been in a flux and change post-McCleary. So I've had to stay very in tune with learning all the new legislation and how the laws are impacted because it was a complete shift in the way things were done. One, it was legislative advocacy around the McCleary decision, pre-McCleary decision, and then post-McCleary, it was about learning and understanding those aspects of the change in the way education funding was done. Michelle Whitney: But then it's really about my interfacing with the school board to build some benchmarks and goals and priorities for a philosophy about the way we spend our dollars. So my interface with the school board to ensure that we're building budgets that are in alignment with their philosophy and their goals and to meet our strategic planning priorities. So that's really the level that my leadership and influence is at is making sure that the way that we're budgeting and prioritizing dollars is in alignment with our strategic plan and our board's vision for our district. Michelle Whitney: And then I work very closely with our business office. I typically supervise directly assistant superintendents. My business officer is an executive director, but I directly supervise him because he is in charge of the district finances. And that was personal decision that I made. Not all superintendents or supervisors do it that way, but one, he was new. The funding was new, and I was new. So we all are learning together, and it's again, that spending time together, knee-to-knee, shoulder-to-shoulder learning is the best way, I think, to build team and accountability together, especially around something as important as finances. Michelle Whitney: We also do a fair amount, or I do a fair amount of interfacing with the community around things like bond planning and levy planning. And we do that through community task forces. And I had an assistant superintendent who did an extraordinary job in interfacing with a group called the Community Builders who helped us plan out a district strategic plan around our facilities. And then of course, layered on top of that is bonds and how those cycles will work. So it's really a multi-tiered effort as a superintendent in a school district, and there's a variety of stakeholders who are involved in different ways in education and finance decision-making. I think it's a really fascinating part of the work. It's a very complicated part of the work. Michelle Whitney: Recently, in the last couple of years, we've had to make some adjustments because the McCleary funding that would require us to repurpose dollars and really there were some areas that we were going to need to reduce. And we got teachers very involved, staff, building-level staff very involved in that. I went out and did a budget presentation, actually two presentations at every single building, and then invited people to come to the table to help us build some budget efficiencies. So we're really working hard to broaden the ownership and leadership around educational finance in Pasco. And we just started to get traction around that work pre-COVID, and then of course, COVID hit. So once we get back to something that appears a little more predictable, we'll get back to that. Michelle Whitney: But I felt like that was an extraordinary opportunity to peel back the curtain of finance of any big organization is complicated. I'm really excited about picking that work back up. Paul Casey: You mentioned strategic planning. You also mentioned in your StrengthsFinder. Vision is huge for you, by the way, huge StrengthsFinder fan. It's called CliftonStrengths now, but Tri-City Influencer listeners, please look up StrengthsFinder 2.0 the book or CliftonStrengths. There's a $19.99 version which will give you your top five. You'll be like, "Someone's reading my mail when you look at it." You're like, "Wow! This is what I love." And if you can be doing that 80% of your work day, you're going to love what you do. And talk to your supervisor about that. You can do it as a whole team. Paul Casey: I can facilitate that for you. It would just be a super fun thing to realize, "Wow, you're so good at that. You should be doing more of that!" And, "Wow, you don't do good at that? What's a way that we can move that around on a team?" Paul Casey: So when you think about the next hill to climb as a district, and you think about continuous improvement, what's your process for that? Michelle Whitney: Well, right now our focus really was derailed in the face of and the impacts of COVID. My eye now is on transitioning our students back into some kind of in-person learning that's safe for them over the course of the next few months and then really getting specific and intentional about how we bridge the impact of the disruption to their educational experience. Michelle Whitney: So we had a really nice trajectory of focus starting in my first year with identifying some outrageous outcomes and strategic plans, and we just refreshed and got a brand new strategic plan approved in January before COVID. So those things really are push-pinned on the bulletin board right now as we're getting really hyper-focused on how do we met the needs of our kids during a pandemic in this just extraordinarily complicated environment. Michelle Whitney: We will need to get back to that. Matter of fact, in January, we'll start again with the board re-calibrating our expectations of the strategic plan, and it will then be focusing on what is life after, post-COVID, or as we start to get kids back. It will be about how do we fill those gaps that have been created by a disruption in the traditional education environment. So those processes for me are done in coordination and collaboration with stakeholders that are closest to the work. So we involve our teachers and our students, and there's a lot of listening that happens and serving that happens and focus groups and task force that happen. So I would envision those things starting to occur. Michelle Whitney: Once we get back to something that's a little bit more predictable, right now, people's priority and focus is dealing with the current crisis. And it truly is still a crisis for us. We've been in a crisis mode since March 13th, so it's really difficult to get people to, and really probably inappropriate to try to get people to think about something more long range. It's like you wouldn't be thinking of building your next house while your current house is on fire. So we really just need to honor where we are right now and know that there'll be work to be done when we get back to something that's a little bit more normal. Michelle Whitney: But my process is really around valuing those closest to the work. They know what they need from us, empowering them in the decision-making, and then being really specific and strategic and intentional about a few key priorities, and I think that was mistake I made early on as a leader is taking on too many things. I'm a person that likes to do too many things, but organizations don't. And I don't mean any single person in an organization. Just systems don't. So when you think about a system like a rubber band, if you stretch it too tight, it'll break, and systems are the same way. So that's been a huge learning piece for me as an individual leader, that you really have to be keyed into systems don't work the same way as you do as an individual leader. Michelle Whitney: So part my leadership responsibility is to help narrow people's focus so that we can get really good at a few things versus having our attention spread across a lot of different things. And I'll tell you, we're not quite there yet as an organization, but we certainly have our eye on that. And this strategic plan that we had in place pre-COVID puts us in a nice spot for that. So we'll be able to pick that up post-COVID and move forward. Paul Casey: Great. Yeah, that makes total sense. I like to say too much change too fast kills change, and it kills you! Michelle Whitney: It's true. It's true. Paul Casey: Well, finally, Michelle, what advice would you give to new leaders or anyone who wants to keep growing and gaining more influence? Michelle Whitney: So, new leaders, I would just say, be kind and gentle with yourself. Find a network of people that you can talk to and that you trust, and be vulnerable with them about what you don't know. Maybe don't be vulnerable with everybody about what you don't know, but find a few people that you really, really trust because none of us as leaders know everything. There is such great learning in vulnerability. So that would be a huge piece of advice for new leaders. Michelle Whitney: And like I said, be kind and gentle with yourself. There are things looking back now, I wish I would have done differently in my first couple years, but I learned from that. We make changes, and we move forward from there. Michelle Whitney: Continuing to evolve in your own leadership, while I talked about listening as learning, that's one part of learning. But there really is the piece about extending yourself beyond your current knowledge base and whether it's through a professional organization that you're involved in or a group or a network of people, reaching out and maybe targeting one key professional development that you want to extend, one in a year, and just being really thoughtful and strategic and gentle about that choice. I think that's always a good thing, to pick one thing that you're going to really extend, maybe beyond your own comfort zone and lean into something that maybe scares you a little every year, and making a commitment to doing that. And either doing it as an individual leader or as a leadership team, I think is always also a really a great thing to keep in mind. Michelle Whitney: Because it's easy in the busyness of our lives to forget about extending ourself in some formal professional development, too. So there's the informal listening and learning to be a better person and a better professional, but there's certainly that formalized professional development that also meets a need for us as leaders and influencers. Paul Casey: Well, Michelle, how can our listeners best connect with you? Michelle Whitney: Well, email is always the best way to connect with me. I'm on that thing all the time. Just ask my husband. He'll tell you. But I do take great joy in interfacing and being a support and assistance to fellow leaders. People always say, "Oh, but you're so busy. We don't want to bother you." It is never a bother to sit with someone who needs me to be a good listener. Email's always a great way to get in contact with me, and I'm always happy to help and be of support and assistance. Paul Casey: Well, thanks again for all you do to make the Tri-Cities a great place and keep leading well! Michelle Whitney: Thank you. Paul Casey: Let me wrap up our podcast today with a leadership resource to recommend. Michelle was just talking about getting more leadership proficiencies in your professional development, especially if you're an emerging leader or a young professional. I offer a program called Leader Launcher. Paul Casey: Leader Launcher is a Tri-City program for young professionals and emerging leaders where I do a training two hours every month on a leadership proficiency. You'll turn that into an action plan, be able to bring that back to your workplace and use it right away in your workplace. It'll be professional growth or leadership, and you can go to leader-launcher.com to sign up. For a full-year program, you'll get 24 hours of training that you'll be able to then apply right on the ground there at work. So leader-launcher.com. Paul Casey: Again this is Paul Casey. I want to thank my guest, Michelle Whitney from Pasco School District for being here today on the Tri-Cities Influencer Podcast. We also want to thank our TCI sponsor and invite you to support them. We appreciate you making this possible so we can collaborate to inspire leaders in our community. Paul Casey: Finally, one more leadership tidbit for the road to help you to make a difference in your circle of influence. It's a quote from Zig Ziglar. He said, "What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." Until next time, KGF, keep growing forward!

Frank King, is a former writer for The Tonight Show for twenty years, a full-time speaker and a comedienne for thirty-four years. He became a speaker and joined the National Speaker Association and entered the speaking business industry in the mid-'90s and is now known to be a humorous keynote speaker.
This week on The Massimo Show Rod sat down with an internationally recognized client-acquisition expert, author, and speaker - Bill Cates. Bill has delivered his business-growth message to over 300,000 professionals, small business owners, and salespeople across 5 continents; helping them increase revenue without increasing their marketing budget. Bill is the author of four popular books: Get More Referrals Now, Don't Keep Me a Secret, Beyond Referrals, and Radical Relevance. Bill Cates' client-acquisition system has been featured in such publications as Success Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, Selling Power, the Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. His own business's success has been featured in Money Magazine. Bill was born and Raised in Silver Springs, Maryland just outside of Washington, DC. While attending the University of Maryland he was a drummer in a rock n roll band who turned professional after college, even touring the country after he finished graduate school. While they were fairly successful Bill knew enough to realize he didn't want to play at Holiday Inns for the rest of his life. After working for American Airlines in customer service he got the itch to own his own business. A woman was selling her cookbook at a "pick your own strawberry" farms. She stole all his ideas and he was not compensated for it. He thought “I could do better than this” so he identified 1500 pick your own strawberry farms around the county and got an offer to write a cookbook and sell it to the farmers. The first year he sold 15000 copies of the book. He moved on to an apple and honey cookbook. It was a niche for the farmers. Bill was selling around 80000 copies of his cookbooks a year. He started selling in kitchen stores, gourmet shops, and grocery stores. He then moved on to writing specialty cookbooks for equipment manufacturers. He wrote for Weber grills, a smoker company, a cookie cookbook for American Greeting Cards. He created this niche of smaller cookbooks. He built the business until it was saleable and publishing his cookbooks was going great. They say liberal arts majors make good entrepreneurs because they learn how to learn and teach. Bil sold several businesses and was looking for the next thing to do. A friend of his said “you should be a professional speaker” so he started hanging out at the National Speaker Association. After trying his hand at running a book publishing company he discovered his passion for speaking and teaching other entrepreneurs. It didn't matter if Bill was getting gigs for his band, soothing ruffled feathers of airline clients, or connecting with farmers over a great recipe - he was learning to make real connections. This led to Bill's niche - referral marketing. Bill believes in the power of multiplying your best clients. “It doesn't cost money to do that,” Bill notes. “What I learned is not only about referrals but about introductions. Make sure you are getting introduced to the people who will give you referrals. Referrals and introductions work because of borrowed trust. Make sure to have a Value Check-in. This is when you check-in in along the way so your client knows the value we are bringing. To see that we are exceeding their expectation because most businesses don't check in enough. When you check-in and ask how do you think we are doing? When you bring that openness to checking in on a regular basis, that is the beginning step for asking for an introduction. It solidifies the connection.” Rod and Bill go on to discuss the delegation of 5 things that will free you up to do the things that need to be done: The sales division is handled by a referral network and reputation. Marketing by speaking in key conferences, newsletters, blogs. Reputation building and maintenance. Run by his team. Personnel- marketing run by his team. Operations use CRM. Finance has an accounting team and book-keeping service Bill and Rod end with some helpful information on how to multiply your best clients in five steps and more about Bill's books Beyond Referrals and Radical Relevance

[Music] Emmitt Muckles: ladies and gentleman welcome to the billionaire lifestyle podcast today I have a really awesome guest and she' actually met one of the people that I adore which is Og Mandino ladies and gentlemen I like to welcome them Judi Moreo to the billionaire lifestyle podcast how are you today Judi Moreo: I'm great thank you and thank you for having it again Emmitt Muckles: oh I looked at your books and I was like who I have to have this woman just your presence will just make my podcast shine and forgive me for being selfish for having to have you on. Judi Moreo: i'm pretty selfish too. i enjoy doing these shows they're wonderful and it gets great exposure for my book and I'm so proud of my book and to could comment on what you said yes I did have the good pleasure to meet Og Mandino. you know and and no him over a period of years before he died and he was quite a mentor to me really helped me to get my writing going. Emmitt Muckles: so i have written a book myself i'm not going to talk too much about that so I Understand fully you know the challenges it is when you're writing a book you know all the ideas you have but just to put them so another human being can understand them is a challenge itself which lends itself to one of your videos that i saw talking about communication it was so elegant the way you put the words and i made the definition for people to understand communication. do you speak a lot to as a keynote speaker. Judi Moreo: I well I do have a lot of keynote speaking but actually I do more in the field of training. i love training I i like the keynote speaker because you go there you do it for an hour and and you touch a lot of people but with training I get to be a closer up one-on-one so I like to do like the workshops and the breakout sessions and that and the training in the company's and actually really help people to get something they can walk away with. I feel like in the keynote speech I kind of just motivate people but they don't walk away much, so i have to have a product from to take home to say okay you know this is what she can teach me, whereas with training i can actually do more you know once we have smaller group we only had like 30 people in a in a training class so. i really enjoyed that the most. Emmitt Muckles: so your book is titled you are more than enough can you explain how you got to the process of that and what brought you to that ideology and share it with people. Judi Moreo: well when I when I named the book you're more than enough that was based on the fact that, i keep self-esteem I I do a lot of pro every program i do whether it's customer service for communication or creativity it's always gotta and a part in an on self esteem because how we feel about ourselves helps to create how we treat other people and how creative we are, and so I the attitude and self-esteem is always a part of it. as I was growing up I didn't have a lot of self-esteem I had to learn it and so I studied and studied and studied and learned it. and I I always overestimated other people and underestimated myself. and even though my parents constantly told me you are enough you know you can do this you go to try it. somehow I still had that that timidly about me, I was shy and I didn't want to get out there now people who know me can't believe I was never shy can't believe I ever didn't have high self-esteem. but it was something I had to learn and so as i got older i kept meeting women that were older that were saying to me oh I wish I had self-esteem and i'm looking at people who work for the thirties and forties fifties you think of what do you mean you don't have self-esteem you know that was something we had to learn growing up and then I started talking to people and, I thought you know what I'm going to write a book about this since I was writing the book I was writing a chapter entitled you are more than nothing one of my girlfriend's was reading the book and she's quite a successful woman and she said well why did you name your book this because this chapter is what your whole life is all about and I said oh my gosh there appears right in front of me I wrote it down at the chapter title and didn't realize it was the book title and so I i moved it over to be the book title and and it really is you know that we are more than enough and we underestimate ourselves so many of us then and now I just because that book the publisher totally slanted that book for women and yet the men that that I worked with that when i did the audiobook the man that recorded it when you got done he looked at me and he said why did you just do this for women if I have this book 20 years ago I have been more successful. Judi Moreo:so I'm doing a new book now iíve using some of the same principles but i'm not doing a new book for men and women both entitled you are more than you think you are Emmitt Muckles: that's awesome you know that you you bring up a really great point when women do so much in this country now and I realized this a long time ago that women were controlling a lot of businesses and they were making a lot of inroads to areas and it was a quiet storm but one of the things that i noticed that when women produce products they literally stay within the female demographic and it seems like it and, I'm talking from a male point of view that men are to and if you go and i remember this from 1991 my first marriage. i had hard time adjusting it but i remember going to the bookstore and I saw droves of books to help women. there was literally nothing for men Judi Moreo: I know I know Emmitt Muckles:so your new book that's coming out when do you anticipate that the next year or so ? Judi Moreo:oh I'm hoping to have it out in about three months I've been working on it for about a year already so i'm pretty sure we'll have it out by Middle of march Emmitt Muckles : awesome awesome so that's one thing that we have to do you have to come back here so that we can talk about that thentoo Judi Moreo: i'd love to but you know I just want to comment on what you said because when I wrote the other book I wrote it for men and women both original and the publisher said men don't buy books you have to change needs to be just the women and I wonder if the publishers belief is what causes there to be so many books dear toward women because they believed that women by book and men don't buy self-improvement type books its more leadership type books. Emmitt Muckles : well I think that it's a changing demographic with the Millennial course if you watch if you watch the Millennials they are about they have their own community and they have their own self awareness and I think that may have been true with a certain man that found to a certain time period but i think that has changed now with with the way the internet is opened up things because now people are how very comfortable in the ebooks Judi Moreo: oh yeah i think i agree with you i agree with you but I think that's why it wasn't a path that people wrote predominantly you know the self-help books for women but I seem an everyday now, in fact i have a an online program called the achieve more method and I have a lot of men sign up for that program because I think about how you can be more and do more and have more by learning how to achieve more and very often we don't know how to set our goals and if we do set our goals we don't know how to make them become reality a lot of people write goals the first of every year in two months they give up on them. and so I I really work with minimum about in fact a lot of my coaching clients are men as well as entertainers. I live in Las Vegas so I get a lot of people from las vegas trip that that come to me to have me help them figure out how to market themselves properly. Emmitt Muckles: awesome , actually i'll be in vegas probably in September i have a conference that i have to attend that I attend every year they keep having their so I'm not maybe Judi Moreo: maybe we can have you on my television show all that would be awesome Emmitt Muckles: that would be so awesome! tell me about your television show tell me about it Judi Moreo: I have a I have of live television show in las vegas it's called the world of book reviews and I review books and talk two authors i have various authors on and i have a guest of a guest co-author and co-host that is eight years old but she's my guest co-host whenever she's available and she reviews children's books and. we talked about children's books and why they're good for the kids her age which is she's really popular people like her a lot and so mainly I just I talked to authors and I thought to people who read certain books who like or don't like him I like to get people's opinions in the show is a live on on the local television station and then it gets archived on AK experts tv.com and so it's always there on AK experts tv.com for people to watch this segment. Emmitt Muckles: so who led you to your coaching career because I'm you know if you're dealing if you're talking to people of course you're probably going to have to have some kind of relationship to bring them further some people can't just digest information and then move forward and as you said there are some people who make new year's resolutions that's the start but they don't know how to continue the race into the end so how did that come about in your life Judi Moreo: Emmitt, I started my first business when I was 24 years old and I didn't know that you couldn't start a business with two thousand dollars. so I i went out and started my business I just had this idea to start this finishing school and model agency and I had two thousand dollars saved up and I thought that was enough money so I rented the office, and I started telling everybody about my business and three weeks after I open my business was the first time in the history of Las Vegas that they had a strike and turned out every light on the Las Vegas Strip and so people who aren't going to send their kids to modeling school because that was an extra and the strip hotels weren't going to hire models because they were all closed down so here I was you know like like a couple months in. and I was like my gosh i'm broke you know and i went to my landlord nice that we have a little problem here because I can't pay my second month’s rent and he looked at me and he said well you know the guy next door bet me that you wouldn't last in business six months he said not betting you would so if you can hang in there for six months we can make enough money off him to pay the rent. Judi Moreo: that's a true story and I hung in there for six months and actually i hung in there for 21 years my business became very successful and. I and I basically promoted my business through speaking that's why i started speaking i started going out and talking to junior high schools and high schools and Girl scout troops and Boy Scout troops and telling them about my finishing school and model agency and why they had to come and go through the school and have personal development courses and learn to believe in themselves and then one day the Tropicana Hotel called me and said do you do mouth programs and I said well what's that they said well when we bring a convention and we need someone to entertain the wives and husbands and I said oh yes i do that makes to go how much you charge and I said fifty dollars which was really thinking and and they hired me and then after they hired me a hundred times i joined the National Speakers Association and i found out, wait a minute you know you should be making a lot more than fifty dollars so by then identify hundred features and I of my price and and that's how I promoted and started that business and that business you know was so successful and then someone bought it for cash my my financial planner said you build a business in order to sell it so i did and i went into speaking full-time and it' taken me to 28 countries around the world and i ended up working in south africa for eight years and starting a new training company over there. and then after six years of having a company in south africa brought it back to America could put our our headquarters here in Las Vegas I could be home with my family was but I love South Africa and so that's how I got here where I am today but it was a long hard struggle you know Emmitt Muckles: but most struggles are long and hard did that's one of the things that I hope to impart by sharing people's stories that, we have this notion that everything is a overnight sensation or it was they went into it and they began to be successful and most of the really talented most of the people that we see in any field genre they've been added a while. they it's it's the and eating an elephant ideology I always say, you have to start somewhere because you just even if you have raw talent you have to refine that talent so life will dictate to you the path but what you must do is you must start on the journey and stay on it that's part one have been one of my biggest flaws 'as because I'm all over the place sometimes actually had a podcast called that and it was called all over the place what I really like is your youtube videos so do you have a youtube channel ? Judi Moreo:yes it's judi moreo, youtube/Judi Moreo Emmitt Muckles:you have several websites so you have lifechoices.com, judi Mario dot-com and you also have one for your new book correct? Judi Moreo: well I have your more than enough dot-com, and then I also had viet read more method dot-com that's our online training program that people can have me coach them online Emmitt Muckles: alright Judi Moreo: oh it's a one year program Emmitt Muckles: so when your program yeah so how much time do you have to spend is it like one day a week or is it monthly or do you have group sessions how does that work Judi Moreo: well we have all of that, they for the first 21 days if the kickstart program for the first 21 days I seen them three questions a day and they send me their answers and then on the twenty-second day we actually start the lessons because by then I have a knowledge of who they are and what they done and then we actually start the lessons and then they get one videotaped lesson every month in addition to that they get 52 audio affirmations throughout the year sorry I'm sorry you and then they get daily affirmations and then in addition to that we have a closed Facebook page and they have like a mastermind group with just their group on the closed Facebook page and that's where they asked me questions directly and I answer them and we all work together on their particular goals. it's somewhere between private coaching and group coaching it it's kind of both but I don't have the time anymore to privately coach people I used to coach people privately and it was sixteen thousand dollars a year. and now I i do this online and it works out real well cause i can give them a lot of personal attention but at the same time they're getting the mastermind with other people who are on the same path trying to reach the same success. and the price is really reasonable and it's two hundred ninety seven dollars for the year you can't beat that and so I like it because i get to know people from all over the world and i get to know them on a more personal basis and they get to ask me questions based on my experience in my background and I have you know section extensive background in the business world especially as an entrepreneur. and so for them to be able to ask those questions personally to me it helps them a great deal as well Emmitt Muckles: great great great one thing I really liked about contacting you are just doing my research on you i really liked your your website your web site is is beautiful i’ve talk to some people for interviews , several people in the last couple of days and that the websites blow me away because it so clean and so beautiful and how you integrated your blog into your website as well as your blog attached to your website or is there a different address I know people have that Judi Moreo:you know it in the website its judimoreo/blog Emmitt Muckles: your website is so informative because you can grab media about your media you can get your about you learn more about you you're speaking, your blog, your shop I was just kind of blown away you gave me some some direction and just you mentored me just by having a website can you believe that Judi Moreo:oh Emmitt, thank you thank you i'm gonna tell jake takes my my wonderful Jake naylor, he's the guy that does all of my website and all of my graphic arts and he's just the most magnificent person and I i like my website because it's clean you made it looks so neat and pretty and I've had a lot of web people tell me all your websites to clean it needs to have more links that needs to be this way or that way and I just insisted on keeping it the way it is because i like this the way Jake get it i think he's a he's brilliant when it comes to putting these together it is Emmitt Muckles: the way I would say it's just it's simply elegant you in and also Judi Moreo:I'm count it and Emmitt Muckles: it shows you are NSA member how has NSA and which for those of you who are not very familiar with it that's National Speakers Association how they helped you to bolster who you are today Judi Moreo: oh my goodness i find the National Speakers Association and 1986 I mean that's a long time ago and that was where i sat down at dinner next to OG Mandino you know I said right next to get it at one of the first dinners I ever attended and I didn't know that was who he was I'd read all of his books and and he was sitting there and he asked me who I was and of course I went on and on and on about who I wasn't what I did and then I said and what you do and he said oh I right little books and I said oh really what kind of me said fables. and I said oh what's the name of one and he said The Greatest Salesman On Earth. and I was like oh my gosh oh my gosh I i do you know anywhere you know when I said I thought you were dead you said my wife sometimes fix something and it's I you know I just blurted it out like that you know but I mean back then you sat next to people like norman vincent peale and Zig Ziglar and Og Mandino and Joe Charboneau and I mean these were the Great's of the speaking industry and they were all in the National Speakers Association. today many of those people have died but still the best speakers in the world that and the National Speakers association conferences. so i try never miss a conference because I get to meet people I get to hear all the latest things on training and development and all of the the latest technology. and you know it's one of the places that I discovered that the internet is the way for speakers to be selling themselves nowadays. it so that's why I started you know really making a presence on the internet and i started this online program to help people i can reach people all around the world and i would have learned about that if I hadn't been with the National Speakers Association and I mean the about all my best friends are from there so you just meet positive people everybody's coming up you know nobody's walking around complaining about things Emmitt Muckles: that's true Judi Moreo: i like positive people Emmitt Muckles:I've been to a few NSA meetings i started looking into it when I had an idea for a book and actually, I had this conversation with God to said I want to change direction and I had this book that i wrote and it's a and it was inspired by Og Mandino, because it's about the same size but I didn't know anything that do after that I was clueless are probably i'll send you a copy of it and I would like very clear so between that and toastmasters which I just kind of ran through they were like where did you come from Judi Moreo: Toastmasters it's a great place for people who are learning to speak where National Speakers Association is about more about marketing yourself as a speaker Emmitt Muckles:and that's what i did not know at the time I was a complete novice I was just ignorant in this is information that people would like to hear that's why we're talking about it because it's about the journey and your journey is going to be a textbook for someone else in this little conversation that we're having here because this is this is what this will go on forever I've done podcast back in 2006 and i still get emails about them and I didn't even know they were still online. Emmitt Muckles: where do you see yourself in 2017 were right there at the precipice so what's a good oh Judi Moreo: I write my goal every year on New Year's Eve I have a I have a definite program that i do and i write my goals every year on New Year's even. I like right now I'm formulating all those goals for next year in my mind and then I write them down quarterly I say okay by the end of the first quarter i want to achieve this and by the end of the second quarter this and third quarter this and usually by the end of the second quarter I've already done the whole year because by writing them down and getting real clear on them that happens and so this year my my goal was to put the achieve more method up online and get it going that that was supposed to start 2017 and I got it already so i went ahead and launch it earlier so it's already up and running for the coming year and then i'm going to be doing a little bit more speaking on locally. I'm I'm trying to cut back on doing so much national speaking because national and international travel it's gotten harder and harder and harder i am going back to South Africa for a trip in march i'm looking will forward to that to do a program for a hotel chain over there that I've worked with in the past. it's called misty hills it's a wonderful a chain owned by Recreation Africa so i'm going there and then august i'll be going to Tanzania and 2 Kenya because i want to see the migration of the animals all my life I've been on my bucket list that i want to go and do that hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti when the wildebeast through all my grading and feel like signed up for it i bought it i bought the hot air balloon like I'm ready I'm but that's one of my goals for this year personal Emmitt Muckles:goal good good good we have to have those you'll have to excuse my voice as i said i have i'm suffering a little bit of a cold here but there's one thing that we have not talked about and that's the country conquer the brain drain Judi Moreo: oh yes that's it that's the interesting book that I real with me on Fiona McCulloch Carmichael she and i wrote that book a few years back we were hired by one of these women are companies that you go from city to city to city to do public seminars and people find out method and they go you know they pay like a certain amount $39 or $79 are $199 dollars may go for a seminar and the similar company ask us to write a a creativity day camp program for them and we did and then we went out on the road we tested this creativity day camp across the country and it was very successful and so they bought it and they put it on their their menu of all the different courses that they have and then they had about 30 different trainers that actually trained the creativity day camp and one of the things we noticed when we were out there was they didn't have any product that taught people how to be creative and so we said well why don't we write a book for you and that you know you would put on the tables in the back of the room and so they said okay and we will conquer the brain they actually paid us a fee to write the book and we wrote the book conquer the brain drain and then we ended up selling it and they had all these trainers across the country that we're selling it back of the room so the book did really really well it's a book about leadership and it is also about how to have more creative meetings because when we were doing our research we found out that people said that two biggest causes of the demotivation in the workplace where boring meetings and poor leadership. so we combine the two to make a book about leaders and how they can make their meetings more interesting to keep people wanting to come back and be in the meeting and accomplish the goals of the meeting. and then we took the book to South Africa and we invited all the who's who of the Johannesburg to a luncheon and we spoke and we had them as I guess we gave them all the copy of the book and Penguin Books picked it up in South Africa and it became ignite the spark 52 creative ways to fire up your team and it was an international bestseller from there. Emmitt Muckles: you you're busy individual you've done some things in Judi Moreo: my mind never thought I'm always creating something new Emmitt Muckles:if you could look back in time or if you could tell your yourself when you were let's say 30 if you could give yourself some advice when you were 30 what would that be Judi Moreo: i would say never give up on your dream i would say believe in yourself and i would say even when you don't believe in yourself and you're scared do it anyway just do it anyway because if you have this little spark of something inside yourself that you want to do you need to go do it in a few years ago I got cancer and the doctor looked at means that you have about a year left and when somebody tells you you're gonna die you think oh my goodness did i do everything I wanted to do in this life bun did I did I handle myself by not having enough self-esteem by not just going ahead and doing things because there were so many things I wanted to do when I was younger that I didn't do because I was scared or because I didn't have the support or because someone said you can't do that or you don't have the education or you don't have the money or you don't do whatever and so when I got the cancer I made up my mind right then and there I am going to do for the rest of my life whatever it is I want to do I'm going to go after it I'm going to be it i'm going to have it i'm going to i'm going to just go forward and do it and you know what it has been incredible and and I applied my formula i have that little achieve more formula that i use and i applied it to my health I thought okay I don't want to die in a year the doctor can tell me I'm gonna die in a year how does he know. nobody knows i'm going to die except God right. so I made up my mind you be healthy and I just really really worked and it's been seven years now and I'm healthier never been in my life. Emmitt Muckles: now that is a blessing. Judi Moreo: oh it is, it is a blessing because i had to make up my mind I wasn't going to do the chemo I wasn't going to do the radiation i was going to change the way i ate i was going to take care myself. so i would say to people like in their thirties i would say yes it's important to be successful but take care of yourself eat what what you should be eating not just the stuff that we think we should be eating or that we don't think about it all and exercise and get your rest and love yourself because, that's what makes you well that's what makes you healthy and whole and only when you're healthy and whole can you go out and see the things you want to achieve Emmitt Muckles: I thank you so much for being on the billionaire lifestyle podcast do you have a twitter handle a facebook because those are the ones we cannot covered Judi Moreo: again its Judi Moreo, i do everything under my name ju di mo re o,- but I want to thank you this has been a wonderful interview live I'd love talking to you and I do want you to send you that but let's see what we can do to help you promote it Emmitt Muckles:i'm going to send you the book and when I am coming to Vegas you pick up your phone because it took to call ready Judi Moreo:we'll go out for lunch you will but the water at the Bellagio and listen to the music or something wild. Emmitt Muckles:your from Las Vegas so. I've been i went to Vegas two years ago seven times in one year because I had so many people because I'm a trainer for a company and every time I would leave their someone would call me back like we need you here you're the only one that can do it after about the third time i was doing with Vegas but Judi Moreo:well you have to get from my eyes then you'll love it Emmitt Muckles: that's awesome and i will take you up on that this has been the billionaire lifestyle podcast you can reach it on Emmittmuckles.com please download. give us your opinion leave us some stars. let us know your comments those are the things that make us happy and it if we're happy you're going to be happy to.

When I attended the National Speaker Association’s Convention this summer for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. Obviously, I expected to learn how to hone my speaking skills. Stupidly, I didn’t think I’d see soul-touching, heart-bursting speakers. But Glenna Salsbury was one of the first for that week and she stuck with me long after. Glenna is sought after because she is magnetic, she is generous, but she is mostly an expert at cultivating personal relationships - and in this episode, she shares the best ways to do that. BONUS: learn the hilarious way she met her late husband, Jim Salsbury, former Detroit Lion and Green Bay Packer.
Thom Singer (@thomsinger on twitter) returns to prep Craig on his networking skills for this year’s National Speaker Association’s Annual Convention (#NSA12). Thom is in for a tough time as Craig prefers not meeting new people, being alone and driving strangers away with his snarky wit. Thom explains some of the bad habits both new and veteran attendees fall into and how to make the most of any conference or meeting.
