Podcasts about powerful questions

This episode is for leaders and individuals who know AI is changing everything — but aren't sure where to start, or why their organization's adoption keeps stalling. We sat down with Jordache Johnson, founder and CEO of Never Tech Behind, to break down what AI fluency actually means, why most transformations fail, and what it takes to build a culture where AI works for your people, not around them.The Big QuestionHow do leaders move their organizations — and themselves — from fear of AI to actual fluency?What We CoverAI fluency isn't about knowing the code — it's about knowing when and how to apply AI to solve real problems, and having the confidence to experiment without fear.Compound learning is the real unlock — you don't learn AI from a course. You learn it by doing small experiments and letting your skills stack over time.AI transformation is a 70% people problem — if your people don't trust it, understand it, or feel safe using it, the tools don't matter.The ADAPT Framework — Jordache's system for building an AI-powered, human-always culture: Assess, Develop, Analyze, Plan, Train.What keeps him up at night — Jordache gets real about the risks he does and doesn't worry about, and why he built his whole company around the idea that no one gets left behind.Key TakeawayDon't wait for your employer to give you permission. Start experimenting now — small projects, dedicated time, genuine curiosity. The compounding effect is real and available to everyone.Connect with Jordache Website: jordache.ai and join his newsletter for all the latest in AI.Resources:Leading through growth takes intention.

Andrea Jordan is the Founder and CEO of Empathium, and she's building something radically different in the AI space. While everyone else is focused on automation and efficiency, Andrea is building emotionally intelligent AI for the moments that matter most.What we loved about this conversation is Andrea's willingness to sit with the tension. She's not blindly pro-AI, and she's wrestling with big questions about what it means to use these tools to create more equitable systems.What We Talked AboutAndrea walked us through why companies are rolling back their automation efforts—turns out removing humans from human care is an expensive mistake. We explored how AI can actually help people develop empathy, attunement, and relational confidence instead of replacing those skills. She shared why Empathium is designed to work in places with limited or no connectivity (because if it only works in optimal conditions, who are we really serving?). And we grappled with Audre Lorde's wisdom about the "master's tools" and what it means to build from inside systems we're trying to change.Key TakeawaysThe self-checkout, robo-customer-service era taught companies a hard lesson: you can't just remove humans from the loop and expect it to work. Empathium is building on that recognition—not automating human interaction, but attuning humans themselves.AI's best qualities are agility, adaptability, and scale. The question is whether we use those to replace human connection or to support it. Andrea is betting on support—building tools that help people show up better in high-stakes moments.If we want better systems, we need tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable. That means designing for healthcare, education, and human services where communication failures have the highest human and economic costs.Empathium is designed as a global product that works without constant connectivity. As Andrea puts it: "If we can't foster human connection there, are we really doing the work?"On using the "master's tools": Andrea openly wrestles with this tension. Her take? She's not trying to dismantle the house but to "make space for all of us to live in it." Use the tools we have strategically while staying grounded in intention.AI isn't the answer to everything. We need critical thinking about which tools to use when—and to recognize when we're using a hammer for a wrench's job.About Andrea JordanAndrea's background spans social work, behavioral health, and systems-level leadership. She specializes in designing products at the intersection of trauma-informed care, AI, and high-stakes communication. With Empathium, she's developing adaptive emotional intelligence infrastructure focused on where communication failures cost the most. Her belief is simple: if we want better systems, we need to build tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable—not by replacing humans, but by building a bridge to human connection.Connect with AndreaAndrea welcomes conversations about what she's building:LinkedIn: Andrea Jordan GoubeauxWebsite: empathium.ai (join the waitlist)Early access to Tynd: Reach out to Andrea directly on LinkedInResources:Navigating a big transition?

Your kids won't remember how much you made. They'll remember if you were there. In this raw and honest episode, I'm getting real about the trade-offs between building a coaching business and being present for your family. I share why I turned down a hypothetical $2 million opportunity, the "radio knob" metaphor that changed how I approach my days, and the permission slip you might need to define success differently. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "you can have it all" message sets moms up to fail The radio knob framework for managing business and family priorities My non-negotiables as a business owner and mom (and why they matter) How to measure success beyond revenue numbers The difference between intentional choices and guilt-driven defaults This episode is for you if: You're struggling with mom guilt while building your business You're measuring success by someone else's metrics You want permission to build slowly or work part-time You're ready to design your business around your actual life Resources mentioned: "How To Get Clients" Limited Series: amanda-walker.com/limitedseries 10 Powerful Questions: amanda-walker.com/questions Connect with Amanda: Instagram: @awalkmyway https://www.instagram.com/awalkmyway/

We're kicking off our AI Workplace and Culture series with Martha Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of The Key PR. Martha isn't just observing the AI transformation—she's living it. Her firm works with tech startups building with AI, and she's implementing AI tools in her own company.What we really appreciated about our conversation is Martha's refusal to give easy answers. She's both optimistic and pessimistic about where we're headed.What We Talked AboutMartha walked us through what's actually happening in the startup world right now (spoiler: it's all AI, all the time). We dug into why communications needs to be involved at the earliest stages of strategy, not bolted on at the end. She shared her framework for crisis communication when the tools and rules keep changing. And we explored what it means to co-create work when everything is shifting underneath us.Martha also brought what she calls her "punk ass perspective" on who gets to dominate the tech conversation—and why that matters for all of us.Key TakeawaysMost companies are either building with AI from the ground up or retrofitting existing products. The Wild West analogy applies, except those already on top (Google, Amazon, OpenAI) have such a dramatic lead that the playing field is fundamentally different.For most people, technology is magic. They don't care how it works—they care why it matters. The job is finding both the selfish impact (how it affects you personally) and the global impact (how it makes the world better).In crisis communication, simple truth beats complicated explanations every time. Over-explaining makes people suspicious. And sometimes you just have to take it—because if you messed up, someone's going to be mad.The "get it off my desk" jobs are most at risk. But curiosity, creativity, and systems thinking? Those become more valuable than ever. Martha's hope is that we graduate from productivity-first culture and reinvest in what makes us human.AI can do tremendous good—and tremendous harm. From literacy tutoring for kids with dyslexia to environmental damage from energy demands, this technology cuts both ways. We need visionary leadership and diverse perspectives in the room to navigate it well.Communications needs to be at the table early. Not as a bolt-on at the end, but at the concept stage when you're still figuring things out. That's where you catch potential crises before they happen.About Martha ShaughnessyMartha is the founder and CEO of The Key PR, a Bay Area-based communications firm she founded in 2017 with a mission to deliver high-impact, no-BS communications to her clients. Over the past 20+ years, Martha has worked with tech companies, startups, and nonprofits, helping them navigate the complex intersection of technology, culture, and human impact. She specializes in helping organizations tell stories that matter—finding the human thread in even the most technical products.Connect with MarthaMartha welcomes conversations about big ideas.

In today's episode, Bob 'n Joyce take on a question many organizations avoid—but can't afford to ignore: What does the business actually need from its leaders right now? Rather than defaulting to generic competency models or last year's leadership playbook, Joyce pulls from her flip-chart archives—capturing real-world leadership “must-haves” identified by two distinct groups: the C-suite and Operations VPs working in the trenches. What emerges is a fascinating contrast between strategic expectations and operational realities—from leading large-scale change and building long-term capacity, to battle-hardened confidence, simplicity of mindset, and spending more time in the field than the office. Bob 'n Joyce then force-rank the top three leadership attributes from each group and invite you to do the same. Why? Because leadership development without context is just activity—not impact. Given the challenges your organization faces this year, this episode helps you make a conscious, strategic choice about where to focus leadership development so it serves the business—not just the curriculum. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome. Footnote: Leadership Attributes Identified by Each Group C-suite Leadership “Must-Haves” • Proven track record • Builds capacity • High energy endurance • Vision for strategy • Inspires • Compassionate • Courageous • Builds productive relationships • Leads large change • Keeps the long-term good of the company in mind Operations VP Leadership “Must-Haves” • Passionate and curious • Battle-hardened confidence • Team smarts (collaborative) • Simple mindset (ultimate sophistication) • Fearlessness (no comfort in comfort) • Preparation and patience • Time management • Smart interviewing • More time out of the office than in • The art of running meetings

What happens when you slow down, ask better questions, and resist the urge to rush to answers? In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce model a real-time reflection that sparks insight, tension, and surprising clarity for the year ahead. Using curiosity and inquiry, they pose a series of powerful questions to one another—questions designed to disrupt familiar thinking and generate fresh insights and “aha” moments. What unfolds is a candid, in-the-moment assessment of their current reality, paired with the creative tension between where they are today and what they hope for in the year ahead. You'll hear the pauses, the uncertainty, and the less-than-polished responses that come with doing this work honestly. Fair warning: this is not an easy or comfortable exercise. But it is a meaningful one. The rewards of slowing down, asking better questions, and reflecting together—whether with a team or across an entire organization—are well worth the effort. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome!

Stop preparing. Start doing. If you've spent months (or years) getting "ready" to launch your coaching business—perfecting your website, tweaking your program, collecting certifications—this episode will flip your entire approach upside down. I'm sharing why the "Ready, Set, Go" model we learned as kids is actually keeping you stuck, broke, and burnt out before you even start. Instead, I'm challenging you to embrace "Go, Set, Ready" in 2026. In this episode, you'll discover: Why waiting to feel "ready" means you never will (and the mind-blowing reason why) The 3-step Go, Set, Ready framework that builds your business based on reality, not assumptions How to take imperfect action immediately without being reckless Why your clients don't care if your website is perfect (but you think they do) The fastest way to know if something's working (hint: put it out there NOW) This is your wake-up call to stop preparing and start building a real coaching business with real clients in 2026.

A shift from incremental growth to exponential possibility.Also covered: The "who, not how" principle. When you get stuck on how to do something, you're asking the wrong question. The right question is who can help you do this?Key question: What would the 10X version of your 2026 goal look like?Episode 2: Make Better Decisions FasterPodcast: The Jasmine Star ShowGuest: Dr. Alan BarnardLa'Kita immediately re-listened to this episode and sent it to five people.

Get ruthlessly clear about what actually moves you forward."It's Impossible Unless": When someone says something is impossible, respond with "It's impossible unless..." and let the silence sit. This moves subconscious limitations into conscious problem-solving.Episode 3: The Danger of A B Plus LifePodcast: Becoming You with Suzy WelchSuzy emphasizes how easy it is to get caught up in a B+ life. If you're at a C or C- life, you'll feel urgency for change. But if you're in a B+ life, you might feel comfortable enough not to push yourself toward what you really want.The 85th Birthday Question: What would make you cry from regret on your 85th birthday? If you didn't take the risk, didn't accept the challenge, what would haunt you? If there's an answer, you might be living a B+ life.Episode 4: Love, Family and Business: How To Work With a PartnerPodcast: Aspire with Emma GredeGuest: Jens GredeEmma and Jens are life partners who also work together in business (both involved with SKIMS and Good American). They talk about managing busy lives, family, and business partnership—acknowledging nothing is perfect.Key principle on decision-making: Whoever cares most or has the most knowledge makes the final decision. You can have debate and friction (which is valuable), but ultimately you need role clarity and respect for expertise.On anxiety: Jens shares his experience with anxiety, how he processes it, how he's learned to leverage it as a superpower, and how he takes care when it becomes overwhelming.Episode 5: America Is at a Breaking Point and I'm Deeply Concerned About the State of the CountryPodcast: The Diary of a CEO with Steven BartlettGuest: Kamala HarrisKamala Harris brings transparency and vulnerability in telling her own story post-election.Core principle (from her mother): "Don't let anyone tell you who you are. You tell them who you are." She decided it was important to control her own narrative: "History is going to write about the 107 days, and I'm not going to let that history be told without my voice being present."On confidence: When you walk in the room, put your chin up, shoulders back, and remind yourself that you belong in any room you're in. You have something to contribute.Closing ThoughtsAll five episodes demonstrate the power of co-creation—great hosts bring their own story but leverage their curiosity to bring out the magic in others.Your turn: What is your "it's impossible unless" question?ResourcesValues Bridge AssessmentAs always, thank you for your leadershipResources:Navigating a big transition?

In today's episode, Bob 'n Joyce unpack an article Joyce wrote years ago on a powerful OD technique she used to assess organizational wellness. Culture can feel fuzzy and hard to diagnose, but this simple inquiry tool makes it concrete, practical, and actionable for leaders, coaches, and OD practitioners. You'll hear when this tool is most valuable—such as during a leadership transition, when performance is slipping, or when an organization has lost its competitive edge—and then we walk through the roadmap step by step. Joyce's Diagnostic Roadmap Includes: Getting a Balcony Perspective 1. What's causing the distress? 2. What internal contradictions does that distress reveal? 3. What is the history behind those contradictions? 4. What perspectives or interests do I (or others) now represent that may be in conflict? 5. How might we, as a team or organization, be mirroring these broader dynamics? Identifying the Tolerable Range of Distress 6. How do we typically respond to disequilibrium—confusion, conflict, external threats, shifting roles? 7. When in the past has distress escalated to a breaking point? 8. What actions have senior leaders traditionally used to restore equilibrium, and what can I influence now? Patterns of Work and Work Avoidance 9. What work and work-avoidance patterns are showing up? 10. What do these patterns reveal about the real adaptive challenge? 11. What clues do leaders (often unintentionally) provide? 12. Which issues are ripe for action—and which may need ripening? There's a lot to unwrap (pun fully intended), so settle in, grab a healthy snack, and join us for a lively conversation on diagnosing culture in a way that actually helps organizations heal and grow.

This episode is our last combined episode of the year, and we're closing it out by sharing the books that shaped our thinking, challenged our perspectives, and kept us turning pages late into the night. From nonfiction that gave us language for the work we do to fiction that transported us to other worlds, these are the reads that resonated most with us in 2025.La'Kita's Top ReadsOn Tyranny by Timothy Snyder20 lessons from the 20th century on resisting authoritarianism. The lesson that stuck most: "Do not obey in advance"—don't comply or shift norms before you're required to. A call to action that feels urgent and applicable beyond politics.Living in Wisdom by Devi BrownA guide to embodying your authentic self, embracing grief, and developing self-mastery. All the work is internal—journaling, meditation, being in nature—pulled together in a comprehensive way that challenges you to make these practices a way of being, not just productivity tools.Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler by Susana M. MorrisA biography that explores how Octavia Butler lived her life—her commitment to her calling despite doubt and rejection, her practice of manifestation ("so be it, see to it"), and how she created her own circumstances. Essential reading for anyone interested in creativity and creative leadership.Authentic by Jodi-Ann BureyA powerful exploration of how workplaces use "authenticity" disingenuously and what it actually means to be authentic. Filled with stories from women of color, Black women, and disabled women. Key line: "Authenticity invites us to declare I am not a worker, I am a person at work."The Source by Dr. Tara SwartCombines neuroscience with manifestation and intention-setting. A former psychiatrist turned coach who makes clear these are ancient ideas that neuroscience is just now catching up to. Step-by-step guidance on visualization, intention setting, and rewiring your brain.Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (Fiction)A woman stands up on a flight and predicts exactly when passengers will die—and the predictions start coming true. Weaves together fate, science, coincidence, and anxiety in a page-turner that explores how much we make our own luck.Chloe's Top ReadsCareless People by Sarah Wynn-WilliamsAn eye-opening indictment of Facebook and tech culture that shifted perspectives on Meta products. A reminder that what we see isn't the whole story and it's worth digging deeper.Be Ready When Luck Happens by Ina GartenA memoir that beautifully acknowledges the role of both hard work and luck in success. Ina's honest about being in the right place at the right time with the right opportunities—and the privilege that created those circumstances.The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel WilkersonThe story of the Great Migration of African Americans from the 1940s-70s. A transformational read that raised the question: why wasn't this taught in school? Essential reading, especially for white folks in the US, to understand systemic racism and how recent this history is.Uncompete by Ruchika MalhotraChallenges everything we've been told about the benefits of competition. From being placed in "gifted and talented" programs as kids to operating in capitalist systems as adults, we're set up to compete—but this book offers a different path through abundance and collaboration.The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson (Fiction)Science fiction exploring different timelines and realities. Character-driven with themes of identity, privilege, and colonialism. The kind of fiction that makes you pause and think—and talk about what you're reading.Thanks for being with us this year.

This episode is for anyone staring down the end of the year wondering if they "succeeded"—comparing themselves to external markers, measuring their worth by what didn't happen, or feeling behind despite doing the work. We explore how to define success on your own terms, celebrate what actually matters, and set yourself up for meaningful progress ahead.The Big QuestionHow do I define success as I reflect on the past year and plan for the next?What We CoverGround yourself in your actual goals – Compare yourself to what you originally set out to do, not what others achieved or external markers say you should have done.Account for pivots – Document when your plans changed. Those adjustments often represent good leadership, not failure.Balance input and output goals – Focus on what you control (inputs like sending weekly newsletters) alongside desired outcomes (outputs like business growth). Input goals give you agency and realistic measures of success.Get specific with your vision – "Getting a job" isn't enough. Define the job you want, at the company you want, doing work you want to do.Give yourself grace – Sometimes success is showing up through a hard year. No one else knows the battles you fought.Key TakeawaySuccess isn't just about hitting January's goals. It's about acknowledging what shifted, celebrating the inputs you controlled, and defining what matters to you—not what external markers say should matter.Resources MentionedRuchika Malhotra, Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock SuccessResources:Navigating a big transition?

Find the full transcript for Episode 363 at ProsperousCoach.com/363.This episode is inspired by my own breaches in integrity over the 2 decades plus that I've been a coach and some I see other coaches stumble with as well.If you took coach training, hopefully you were provided with some standard ethical guidelines that need to be followed with your clients. Things like:·      Keeping your coaching client's contact info and what they say confidential unless they give express permission for you to share some part of it.·      Setting personal and time boundaries with clients.Beyond that, no one talks much about ethics and integrity in coaching.Coaching is not currently a regulated field so it's doubly important that you, as the professional coach, regulate yourself. That helps all coaches and the future of coaching.Complaints about coaches hurt the field of coaching. And we really don't want this field to be regulated, as it would greatly change the coaching industry for the worse.Have you realized that YOU are a PROFESSIONAL? Take this in.Own the fact that what you do is a professional service and you are a trained professional offering serious and consequential experiences through your coaching.When I say serious and consequential, I mean that you could hurt someone just as easily as you could help them.I'd love to hear from you.

This episode is for anyone who finds themselves caught off guard in meetings or difficult conversations—when your chest tightens, your mind races, and you struggle to respond from your best self. We talk about why activation happens, what to do in the moment, and how to build capacity so these moments happen less often.The Big QuestionWhat do I do in the moment when I'm having a conversation and I feel activated?What We CoverRecognize the fear response – Activation is your body going into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. The first sign is somatic—chest tightening, shallow breathing, body tension.Use breath to get grounded – Box breathing (in 4, hold 4, out 4, hold 4) gets you back in your body. Then assess: Can I pause this conversation?Get curious, not defensive – Ask clarifying questions and challenge your assumptions. Someone asking lots of questions may be seeking understanding, not attacking you.Do the deeper work later – After the moment passes, explore what activated you, what old story you're protecting, and what capacity-building you need.Build resilience when you're calm – Use assessments and tools, practice self-awareness, celebrate small wins, and don't underestimate the basics like sleep and hydration.Key TakeawayIn the moment: breathe, pause if possible, get curious. Long-term: build capacity through self-awareness and tools so you respond from your best self, not your scared self.Resources MentionedSusan David, Emotional AgilityBrené Brown, Dare to LeadAmy Gallo, Getting AlongGretchen Rubin, The Four TendenciesEnergy Leadership Index assessmentGlobeSmart assessmentResources:Navigating a big transition?

This episode is for anyone who feels pressure to excel at everything and worries about exposing their weaknesses. We talk about why trying to be good at all things is exhausting and unsustainable, how to identify and own your actual strengths, and how to build teams where people operate in their zones of genius instead of striving for impossible perfection.The Big QuestionWhat if people see the things I'm not good at?What We CoverStart with strengths, not gaps – Before you can productively address weaknesses, you need clarity on what you're genuinely great at. Use assessments, reach out to past colleagues, or ask: "What did you love about working with me?"Name your zones – Use the four zones from The Big Leap: incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius. This language gives you permission to acknowledge gaps without shame.Challenge the "good at everything" trap – Corporate performance reviews and business culture often push people to rate well across the board. This drives exhaustion instead of excellence.Model transparency as a leader – The best leaders openly acknowledge what isn't their strength and point to team members who excel in those areas. Teams respect this far more than false competence.Build genius teams – Stop looking for people who you think are geniuses in every category. Instead, bring together diverse strengths that complement each other.Get realistic about what "perfect" means – Ask: Does this actually need to be perfect? Or is 80% good enough for the business goal? Arbitrary standards of perfection create unnecessary pressure.Notice your personal signals – Pay attention to when insecurity kicks in. For Chloe, it's "I can do that too!" For La'Kita, it's reaching for perfection in areas with too big a gap. Learn your pattern.Prevent burnout through alignment – Burnout happens when you spend energy reaching for things that aren't possible. Operating in your zone of genius creates long-term sustainability.Key TakeawayTransparency about strengths and gaps + shared language + genius teams = better outcomes, less burnout, and permission to be human.Resources MentionedGay Hendricks, The Big Leap (zones of incompetence, competence, excellence, and genius)Resources:Navigating a big transition?

In this episode your host, master astrologer Laurie Rivers walks you through understanding how to move from old patterns and reactions into deliberate action. It's an essential skill to develop as we continue to move through interesting times.TakeawaysMars represents action, not just aggression.Understanding our consciousness helps us navigate life better.Social conditioning can hinder our ability to act deliberately.Deliberate action aligns with our true needs and desires.Emotional triggers can lead to reactive behaviors.Taking a pause before reacting can change outcomes.Astrology provides a framework for personal growth.Incremental changes can lead to significant improvements.We can choose to operate differently than our conditioning.Living deliberately enhances our overall vitality.Chapters00:00 Aligning Venus and Mars: The Power of Action00:27 Introduction to Mars and Energy03:11 The Impact of Social Conditioning on Action03:41 Managing Consciousness for Deliberate Action17:00 Powerful Questions to Redirect and Respond

This episode is for anyone who feels that nudge toward something new and isn't totally sure how to move forward. We talk about how to trust the calling, work through limiting beliefs, and put real structure around your next step.The Big QuestionWhat am I being called to do next, and how do I actually get there?What We CoverTrust the vision – If you have the idea, it's for you. That calling is data. Start by deciding you're willing to explore it.Surface the blockers – Fear, other people's opinions, the job market, sunk cost — name what's keeping the idea in the background so you can address it directly.Come back to values – Ask, “Which of my values is this connected to?” When your calling is values-aligned, affirmations and decisions get easier.Use a framework that fits you – You can come at transition from spiritual, practical, or energetic angles. Pick the tool that helps you see your next move.Vision it in detail – Picture the future — what it looks like, how you feel, who's with you. Visioning pulls the goal from “idea” into “reality.”Make personal working agreements – These are your values in action. Example: “I don't say yes to work that compromises my freedom,” or “I don't train injured.”Get support – Name what help you need — partner, coach, community, logistics — so the transition doesn't sit on willpower alone.Key TakeawayCalling + values + vision + agreements + support = a workable path through transition.Resources MentionedGay Hendricks, The Big LeapLiz Tran, The Karma of SuccessEnergy Leadership Index (iPEC)Human DesignLa'Kita Williams & Chloe Andersen, To Put Your Company Values into Action, Create Working Agreements, Harvard Business ReviewGather & Grow (under upcoming events) at The Ladies Room SeattleResources:Navigating a big transition?

Welcome to a special episode of The Co-Creators Podcast! This week, we're diving into a question that could change everything: Why should you invest in yourself?You may have noticed we didn't release an episode last week—and here's why: we were walking the talk! We invested in ourselves by attending a powerful retreat with our coach and coaching collective, and what we experienced was too good not to share.In this episode, you'll hear from incredible leaders who opened up about their own journeys with self-investment. Their stories are raw, real, and refreshingly different—each one offering a unique perspective that might be exactly what you need to hear right now.Featured Guests:Joann Lee Wagner - JELW HR | LinkedInJessica Samet - Sunshine Art Space | @sunshineartspaceChristy Renée - The Ladies Room | @ladiesroom206Bridgette Andersen - The Free Spirit Kitchen | @thefreespiritkitchenReady to be inspired? Whether you're on the fence about coaching, craving community, or wondering if investing in yourself is really worth it—this episode will give you the clarity (and maybe the push) you've been looking for.Resources:Navigating a big transition?

This week, we're challenging the deficit-focused mindset that dominates work culture and exploring why celebrating wins is essential for sustainable success and growth.The Big Question: Why do we celebrate wins?The Core Reasons:Affirmation for the future: Celebrating wins proves you can achieve what you set out to do, building confidence for future challenges.Gratitude and ownership: Acknowledging wins helps you recognize what's going well and your role in making it happen.Breaking the negativity loop: Our performance-driven culture over-indexes on what's wrong. Celebrating wins gives you energy to tackle challenges without burning out.The psychology works: Your brain can't process negatives—it naturally does more of what you focus on. Focus on wins, create more wins.How to Start Celebrating Wins Today:Find your people: Identify someone who will genuinely celebrate with you, not diminish your success.Write them down: Journal your wins daily or weekly to reinforce what you did to make success possible.Bring it to your team: Start meetings with wins to model this practice for others.Hold the space sacred: When celebrating wins, resist listing what could be improved. Let wins stand on their own.Key Takeaway: Celebrating wins and continuous improvement aren't mutually exclusive—they're partners. Stop waiting to acknowledge success. You'll have more energy, clarity, and momentum for everything else.Your Assignment This Week: Write down your wins, share them with someone, celebrate with your team, and email us your wins at podcast@cocreatework.com—we'll celebrate with you!Want to read more about what the research says?On the power of small wins:The Power of Small Wins - Harvard Business ReviewOn how your brain reinforces what you focus on:Positive Reinforcement Mediated by Midbrain Dopamine Neurons - PLOS ONEOn why negative feedback rarely works:Negative Feedback Rarely Leads to Improvement - Harvard Business ReviewOn why negative self-talk undermines performance:Negative self-talk during sport performance - Journal of Sport BehaviorOn approach vs. avoidance goals:Approaching Success, Avoiding the Undesired: Does Goal Type Matter? - Psychology TodayOn the power of leader positivity:When Leaders Express Positivity Early On, Employees Perform Better - Harvard Business ReviewOn the brain's negativity bias:Our Brain's Negative Bias - Psychology TodayParadoxical Effects of Thought Suppression - Journal of Personality and Social PsychologyResources:Navigating a big transition?

When roles shift at home and at work, even strong couples can feel the strain. In this episode, returning guests Shay and Phil Bynes (Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur) pull back the curtain on their four-year journey of transitioning Shay out of the CEO seat and Phil in—while raising three kids and continuing to lead a global movement. They share what changed, what didn't, and how they protected connection through it all. You'll hear how they navigated identity, authority, and expectations as spouses and co-leaders—without letting business tension become marital tension. From hearing God's nudge to act, to wrestling with control, to defining new decision rights, Phil and Shay explain the practical guardrails (and plenty of grace) that made the handoff work. We also get tactical about staying close during busy seasons: weekly “marriage board meetings,” spontaneous micro-check-ins, and simple, intentional fun that doesn't require a plane ticket. If you're a married entrepreneur aiming to grow your business without shrinking your marriage, this conversation is a masterclass in change done together. 12 Powerful Questions to Connect You with God's Heart & Mind in Business: https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/usccc Free Chapter of Shae's Book, Grace Under Pressure: A Story About Leadership and the Hidden Cost of Ambition https://shaebynes.com/gupbook Grace over Grind https://kingdomdrivenentrepreneur.com/our-books/ Key Takeaways: Transitions need clarity: Decide who owns which decisions now (vision, people, money, operations) and write it down. Step back—then calibrate: Founders often swing too far away after a handoff; expect to iterate until the advisor/CEO rhythm fits. Protect a weekly marriage meeting: Same time, same day, non-negotiable. Use ground rules so issues get resolved before they fester. Honor design differences: Lead styles will differ by God's design; resist the urge to “correct” your spouse into your style. Let things “sputter” (strategically): Maturity sometimes requires leaders to stop rescuing, so teams learn to think and own outcomes. Friendship fuels connection: Micro-moments (10-minute check-ins, pausing a show to talk) keep intimacy alive during busy stretches. Serve first leadership: Out-serving one another at home creates safety and teamwork that shows up in the business. Plan fun on purpose: Comedy nights, simple dates, and kid-care logistics belong on the calendar like any key meeting. Phil Bynes is CEO of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur, a global movement equipping entrepreneurs to partner with God in business and create greater Kingdom impact in the marketplace. He is also the owner and lead therapist at Crazy Good Massage, where he has served clients with excellence for over 20 years. Shae Bynes, affectionately known as the Chief Fire Igniter, equips leaders to build grace-empowered cultures where people and results flourish. She has impacted over one million people worldwide through her books, courses, podcasts, and speaking. In her executive advising work, she brings a unique blend of strategic clarity, spiritual intelligence, and transformational insight. High school sweethearts since age 16, Phil and Shae have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of three daughters.

This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?The 4 Key Blocks:Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.Resources for this Episode: Uncompete by Ruchika T. MahotraHave a question for the show?

This week, we talk about the tension between going all-in on your biggest goals and avoiding burnout—especially as we see conversations about "the great lock-in" trending.The Big Question Can I square ambition and sustainability, or do I have to choose one over the other?The 4 StepsGet intentional about your vision: Write down your short-term and long-term goals, both personally and professionally. What's your bigger purpose? What do you want to accomplish?Think co-creation, not solo execution: Identify your zone of genius and find people to fill the gaps. This applies to both business and personal life—you don't have to do everything yourself.Build your wraparound support system: Map out the professional, personal, self-care, and community support you need. Remember: this doesn't always mean spending money—leverage community, skill swaps, and existing relationships.Create a decision-making matrix: Establish clear boundaries and criteria for saying yes or no to opportunities. Ask: Does this align with my top 3-5 goals? Is this the right time, partner, and place?Remember: You can do it all, but you can't do it all at one time. Balance isn't static—it changes based on your season and priorities.Key Takeaway: Don't limit your ambition by what you think is sustainable. Have the ambition first, then figure out how to make it sustainable through intentionality, co-creation, and community.Resources for this Episode: Rest is Resistance, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of LessHave a question for the show?

In this video, the speaker emphasizes the importance of gathering data and asking strategic questions to become a better salesperson. Instead of relying solely on scripts, the speaker suggests practicing until responses become automatic and using questions to shift the prospect's mindset. The video introduces the concept of 'CTA delay' for better engagement and 'green light questions' for addressing objections. There is also a discussion on the advantages of building a personal brand and leveraging it to attract prospects. The speaker promotes resources like a cold market recruiting system and the book 'Faith Driven Wealth' for further guidance. Additionally, the speaker stresses the importance of asking oneself empowering questions and learning from patterns in life.   ——
