Send us a textIn this episode of Your Mental Health Business Mentor, Dr. Margo Jacquot sits down with leadership and professional development coach Karyn Taeyaerts to explore how the DISC assessment transforms communication, builds trust, and strengthens team dynamics—especially in mental health and private practice environments.With over 15 years of experience using DISC, Karyn walks us through the four key personality styles (D, I, S, C), how each shows up in leadership, and why understanding your dominant style is the first step toward better collaboration. Whether you're a fast-paced decision-maker or a thoughtful consensus builder, this episode will help you identify your communication patterns and enhance your professional relationships.You'll also hear real-life insights from Dr. Margo's own team experience using DISC—including lessons learned about unspoken truths, stretching outside your style, and how leadership isn't one-size-fits-all.If you're a therapist, group practice owner, or business leader looking to boost effectiveness, this is a must-listen!

Most marketing teams don't talk enough about what's actually working. So in this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on one of our favourite campaigns - from idea to execution - and unpacking the real reasons it delivered.James and I take you inside the strategy, creative, and chaos of a campaign we ran for a challenger brand that was big on personality, small on budget, and laser-focused on growth. We cover how we landed on the core idea, what made it stick with consumers, and why we almost didn't run it. Spoiler: sometimes the “least polished” work performs the best.We also get into:How to sell bold ideas into a founder-led teamWhy a bit of friction can lead to better creativeThe underestimated power of "low-fi" productionThe role of gut feel vs data when deciding what to launchIf you're tired of vague marketing case studies and want a real, honest look at how great campaigns come to life (plus the messiness behind the scenes), this episode is for you.Your HostsLottie Unwin founded Up World, Brand Hackers, and Up Talent with a simple goal: helping startups grow. She's learned a thing or two about building brands that people genuinely care about, and now she puts that knowledge to work supporting ambitious startups who want to make their mark. She loves nothing more than seeing brands find their confidence and voice - and she's not afraid to share the real ups and downs of her own journey along the way.James Hickson heads up Brand Hackers, where he helps make ambitious brands famous. After working with the likes of Innocent Drinks and BrewDog, he fell in love with the world of FMCG startups and never looked back. James is passionate about working with founders who want to shake things up and build brands people can't stop talking about.—The Marketing Hustle Hot Takes is sponsored by Sticky Beak - Get real consumer insights in 48 hours or less and make smarter marketing decisions.

February marks the REAL start of the year for many leaders, making it the perfect time to explore the key career and leadership trends defining 2025.Because here's the thing -- the pace of change isn't slowing down. We're experiencing major global shifts -- economically, politically and socially -- which are reshaping the workplace in real time.So, let me ask you: Are you ready for what's coming?In my recent conversations with senior leaders and executives, one challenge keeps surfacing…Many have been so focused on leading their teams and delivering results that they haven't had time to think about their own career direction. One leader shared they've spent YEARS in reactive mode -- without intentionally planning where they want to go next. Now, they're at a point where they know it's time for a change, but they're unsure what that looks like.Another executive put it perfectly when they said, “I've spent years setting career goals and developing plans for my team, but I've never actually done it for myself.”And this is something I see all the time. As an ambitious leader, it's easy to focus on external priorities -- like leading your team or driving business outcomes -- while putting your own career on autopilot.But with so much change happening, taking ownership of your career and leadership development is more critical than ever.In today's episode, I'm sharing the top 4 career and leadership trends for 2025 -- and how YOU can stay ahead.You'll learn:The ONE thing you must master to stay competitive and lead a high-impact team in the age of AIA game-changing shift top businesses are making -- and how YOU can use it to future-proof your career and teamHow to accelerate your career without burnout -- while developing an engaged, high-performing teamWhy building visibility as a leader is key to unlocking new opportunities for you AND your teamNo matter where you are in your career, these insights will help you stay ahead, lead with confidence and seize new opportunities in 2025.

“Leadership is full of moments where your first reaction is not your best reaction. And I know you know what I mean. But when you pause, you create space to lead with clarity, empathy, and purpose.”In this episode, I talk about  why pausing is so powerful, how it can transform the way you lead, and practical ways you can start using it right away.In this episode:A moment when my inability to pause nearly cost me the trust of my teamWhy pausing matters in leadership3 things you can do to help you leverage the power of the pauseAnd more!Leadership Presence | Mastering the Inner Work of Leadership is your guide to leading with Less Ego and More Soul. Your host is Janet Ioli, leadership and human development expert, sought-after coach, advisor to global executives, and former executive with experience in four Fortune 200 companies. In this podcast, she digs into the real deep work and empowers leaders to show up with authenticity, build emotional intelligence, and lead in a way that leaves a lasting impact.Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode“Early in my career, I thought leadership was about being decisive, acting fast, and always having the answer. But as I moved into more complex roles and worked with top executives, I realized that sometimes the best thing you can do as a leader is to stop, take a deep breath, and not react.”“ I realized that my instinct to react, driven by stress and a need to be in control, especially under pressure and under [a] tight deadline, wasn't just unproductive, it was undermining my ability to lead.”“[Pausing] helps you and gives you time to invite collaboration. When you hold space for others to contribute, you build trust and engagement.”“ When you pause, you give your brain time to shift from its reactive fight or flight mode to a more thoughtful and strategic state.”“ The next time you're in a tense situation, take a breath, pause, and ask yourself, how do I want to show up right now?”Connect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @janetioliJanet is the founder of Leadership Presence.

In the last episode of the year, I was the Naked Beauty interviewee. Our incredibly talented producer, Mbiye Kasonga, and I sat down to reflect on the previous two years we've spent working together. She asked me about my interest in storytelling and my experiences after a full year of working for myself and taking creative risks. It gave me a chance to talk about my early interests in audio storytelling and the inspiration I drew listening to Wendy Williams after school every day. We also talked about our professional partnership and how committing to decisiveness and rejecting perfectionism helps us get our work into the world. Of course, none of this hard work would be possible without great support, and we dove deep into how respect and support in our romantic lives make it easier to chase our dreams. Thank you so much for an incredible year of Naked Beauty, I'm excited to welcome my baby into the world and take a break, but I'm even more excited about the great beauty stories we'll get to tell in 2025.

When you've gone through a challenging time in your life, you may find it quite hard to experience Christ through that time. Or you could be on the other side of the spectrum where you feel God's love so deeply during this challenging time. For myself and our guest today, we have both been on either side of that coin. But how do we navigate this topic when you are pursuing a relationship with Him, and want to feel Him in your life and while you pursue your dream as an athlete?Today we get to talk to Abilene Christian University football player Anthony Egbo Jr., and throughout his life, he has faced numerous challenges that we will discuss today. But as someone that continuously pursues Christ, even outside of his sport, Anthony has not only become a better athlete, but has transformed his perception of Christ and what His plan is for Anthony's life. From being a walk-on to becoming a captain of the ACU football team, he replicates Christ and knows what it means to experience God through anything he goes through.

When you see a need or have a vision for something, what do you do? Especially when there is a lot going on in your life and in the world. Do you jump in and take action or do you get in your head with all the what-ifs and to-do lists so much so that you do not even start to explore or take action?Many of us do both.But there are folks who take action and do something that supports the greater good, even when it feels too hard and there are many, many unknowns. They take risks, make hard decisions, and commit to their values with laser focus while leading with generosity, boundaries, and tenacity.With so much unknown when the pandemic hit, it would have been easy for Jeffrey Brown and Jennifer Chen to keep their vision for a new business in their heads and wait until things were less chaotic.But they did the opposite. They dove in with their vision for a new business that represented so much more than the products they were creating but became a true extension of their DNA and values.Three years ago, they started IZOLA, a bakery making sourdough bread, croissants, and rolls. And they have transformed from lowering orders from their window to a thriving community hub in San Diego.Jeffrey Brown is a prolific business builder who is passionate about creating fully immersive experiences - from reimagining the bakery industry and serving hot from the oven sourdough and croissants resulting in San Diego's only 5-star bakery to telling Pulitzer-recognized stories through film and photography.Jennifer Chen has a background in e-commerce. She has spent the last 20 years building multi-million dollar brands in the areas of merchandising, product development, and business development. Now as co-founder of IZOLA, Jennifer has been able to utilize this experience and apply it to a new industry.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Jeffrey and Jennifer translated their love of bread into a way to connect with their community during COVID lockdownsHow they infused IZOLA with their values as the business started to grow and how that impacts how their hire and lead their teamWhy they chose to use grassroots funding efforts rather than traditional methods of raising capitalHow therapy helps Jennifer and Jeffrey create boundaries between their relationship and their business and navigate conflictHow their prior work experiences outside the food world have shaped IZOLA's processesLearn more about Jeffrey Brown and Jennifer Chen:IZOLAInstagram: @izolabakeryGoogleLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 57: Toxic Proving, Gender Bias, and the Not-Enough Loop with Wendy Collie

In this episode, you'll also hear:5 reasons you need a book launch teamA step-by-step guide to building your dream teamWhy it matters who you select for your team — and how to make it a win-win experience for everyoneA sneak peek at the final step in the book launch process!As your book launch approaches, make sure you have the right support system in place to make it a success. In other words, make sure you have a dedicated book launch team behind you. Now, if you're like a lot of new authors, you may feel tempted to skip this step of the book launch process. It can be intimidating to think about reaching out to people to form your launch team. But remember, even the most talented people need help at times. A great launch team is more than just extra hands — think of them as friends and colleagues who want to see you succeed and to help you get your God-given message out. Plus, having the right support system makes every task in this process easier and makes every milestone feel more rewarding. 5 Reasons You Need a Book Launch TeamStill on the fence? Here are five reasons you need a launch team for your upcoming book release:Create excitement around the release. A launch team is key when it comes to creating excitement, because they can help spread the word about the book and get people talking about it. As they share the news with their friends and followers, they create interest and anticipation around your release date. This is critical, because it can lead to more sales and higher engagement — something every author wants. Reach more people. Just by the nature of how teams operate, you can reach more people with a launch team than you could on your own. Not only can your team share information about your book with their friends and followers, but they can also help spread the word through a variety of social media platforms. This gives you greater reach than if you only rely on one platform for promotion. Get honest feedback. This one can be a little scary, because we authors can be very protective of our work, but having an honest feedback loop is essential. And a launch team allows you to get honest feedback from readers who are passionate about your work, which can make all the difference. Not only does this feedback help you ensure your book is up to par, but it also provides valuable insights into how readers view and engage with different aspects of the story or character for future reference. Get help promoting your work effectively. Let's face it, promoting a new release requires time and effort — which are not always plentiful when launching a new book. Having a dedicated launch team allows you, the author, to devote more time to other priorities and get more done in less time. Plus, having someone else promote your work takes some of the pressure off of you. Especially if you're not very comfortable putting yourself out there, it can be comforting to have other people take that journey with you and help multiply your efforts.Ensure success. A good launch team provides added assurance that your book launch will go off without any hiccups and that you'll actually reach your goals. Because it's not just you working on this — it's you and the members of your launch team, who all have the same goal and desire to see your message get out there. Everyone knows exactly what needs to be done to achieve this success together, and they're committed to making it happen.Launching a book is no easy feat. But having a passionate launch team by your side makes all the difference. With their help, you can create buzz around your upcoming release, reach more readers through various social media networks, get honest feedback on how well-received your material is, promote effectively without detracting from other tasks at hand, and ultimately ensure success through a team effort. So for Christian authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs looking to maximize your return on investment and create lasting success through launching books, enlisting the right support is essential! You need a launch team made up of eager, capable individuals that can help you accomplish your goals and make your book launch a success. How to Build Your Dream TeamSo how do you put together an effective launch team? There are five basic steps. 1. Be really clear on your book's target audience.This probably isn't a surprise by now! We talk about this step a lot when it comes to writing and publishing books, because there's really no way to escape it. You have to know and understand your target audience to successfully launch and sell your book. So ask yourself: Who do I want to reach with my book? What are their interests? What motivates them? Once you have a good understanding of your target audience, you'll be better equipped to identify potential members of your launch team. While it's tempting to say you're happy to have anyone be a part of your team, you really don't want just anyone. You want people who are actually interested in the topic of your book. People who need help with the exact problem your book addresses, or who especially enjoy the type of story you've written. These are the people who have a vested interest in the success of your book and its launch.2. Start identifying potential team members. Once you're clear on your target audience, the next step is to start identifying potential members of your launch team. As mentioned above, you're looking for people who are passionate about your book's topic. That's the first criteria. But you also want to look for people who are influential within your target audience. For example, these people might have a social media following of their own that they can engage, or they might be part of a sorority, fraternity, or association of some kind. Those can all be extra avenues for getting your message out. Finally, in addition to having a personal connection to your book's topic, it's also good to find people who have a personal connection to you. That's where networking comes in, and that's why it's important to always be networking and building relationships with people. That way, when it comes time to launch your book, you can tap into the relationships you've already built. After all, people who care about you and your success will be much more willing to promote your book than people who don't know you. That leads us to Step #3:3. Build a relationship with potential launch team members. Now that you've identified potential launch team members, it's time to take it a step further and reach out to invite them to join your launch team. As you do, however, keep in mind that how you reach out to them is very important. Don't make it all about you and what you want them to do for your book launch. Instead, personalize each message and explain why you think they would be a good fit for the team. What do you admire about that person? What value can they bring to the table that no one else can? Also be sure to provide information about what being on the launch team entails — what you expect of them and what you hope to accomplish with their help — and what incentives you're offering in return. While it's important to think about the value each team member can provide, you also want to think about and communicate how you can add value to their lives by inviting them to be a part of your launch. This should be a win-win relationship!4. Select your dream team. Now it's time to sort through all the different interactions that you've started having and actually select your launch team members. Some people do this through an application process. This works especially well if you have a large following and lots of connections to leverage. But however you do it, you're going to have to make some tough decisions. You want to select individuals who you think will be most passionate and effective in promoting your book. And yes, those two things have to go together — passionate and effective in promoting. Because someone can be passionate about your book, but if they're not going to share it with anyone, then that won't help you reach your goal. So you need people who are both passionate and willing to promote. In addition, especially if your book is aimed at a wider demographic, try to choose a diverse group of people in terms of age, gender, race, ethnicity, etc. This will help you reach a wider range of readers with your book promotion efforts. 5. Train and motivate your team.This final step is the one where the train tends to go off the tracks. You see, it's not enough just to select a launch team and find people who are both passionate and willing to promote — you also have to train and motivate your launch team. This is a group effort, and you are the leader. Your team members are looking to you for direction. You have to be the one who sets the tone for the whole experience. You need to provide your launch team with all the information they need to know about the book and its release day, and also give them ideas about how they could promote the book effectively on social media and in their personal networks. What's more, don't forget to provide an incentive for their efforts. This could be early access to the book, exclusive content, or even gift cards. The point is to make the book launch a win-win experience for everyone on your team.How can you make your book launch fun and enjoyable for your team members? How will participating in this event make their lives better? Your goal is to ensure that your launch team members have such a great experience that not only do they tell everyone they know leading up to the launch, but the next time you launch a book, they can't wait to be a part of it. You are the leader of this effort, so be engaged, be supportive, be fun, be encouraging, and make this a great experience for everyone!A Successful Book Launch Is a Group EffortReleasing a book is an exciting and — let's be honest — a little bit of a nerve-wracking time. This is a huge milestone in your career! But with so much to do and so little time, you need to leverage a launch team to help you get more done. This team is invaluable when it comes to releasing a book, because they can help you with everything from creating buzz about your release to providing feedback on your work to making sure that your launch is a success. But even with a solid team, you want to give yourself as much time as possible to prepare. For best results, start recruiting your launch team at least 90 days before your book launch. Whether you're a first time book author or a published veteran, mastering the art of book launch success can be tricky. But here's the good news: in the next Book Launch Success Secret, we'll uncover the secrets to planning a successful book launch event. This will be all about getting you great results so your book has the opportunity to shine.

Would you rather be a business owner or a top-tier business executive?On today's episode, host Mark de Grasse sits down with Kyle Porter, the Director of Strategy at Conklin Media, to talk about the difference between running your own business and becoming a top-tier company executive.

On the other hand, most people cannot resist the steady salary and job security of full-time employment. There's no universal answer on whether you should go after employment or self-employment. The good news, as Kyle explains, is you can try your hand at both of these career paths and move back and forth as many times as you want.

Leaders across the world and all industries find themselves in a very similar situation - employee shortages due to the "Great Resignation." The Great Resignation is the ongoing phenomenon where large numbers of employees have been leaving their jobs in search of other opportunities or life changes. But why is this happening in the first place and how can leaders mitigate it to protect their organizations. That is what we are investigating today.  Why the Great Resignation? When the Global COVID-19 pandemic struck the world, it caused a large number of people to either be laid off from their job, furloughed, or forced to work from home. This was coupled with the ever increasing "This Great Resignation is due to employees rethinking what work means to them in a post-pandemic world." NPR explains that this “Great Resignation” is due to employees reevaluating what work means to them, how they are valued by employers, and how they spend the majority of their time. Topics In this solo episode I talk about the following topics: What the Great Resignation isWhy psychological Safety is importantHow to establish connection with your teamWhy workplace wellbeing is importantHow to address burnout Check out our new Leader Growth Mastermind and start enhancing your leadership skills today! https://movingforwardleadership.com/mastermind For the complete show notes be sure to check out our website: https://movingforwardleadership.com/208

Reports of scandals continue to rock both public and private sectors. Nearly one in four employees report witnessing unethical behavior in their workplace. Such actions leave long-lasting impressions internally across the organization and externally across the public at large — damaging not only any influence the bad actors have, but — often unwittingly — that of their teams. It's time to rethink the adage “there's no ‘I' in ‘team'.” Actually, the “I” represents influence, which all team members must embrace if they want their team to excel. Some would go so far as to say that influence is the most important facet of one's personal and professional life. The influence even small actions have will create a ripple effect. Knowing this, we become more consciously aware of the influence we wish to project, which helps us to become the best version of ourselves and, by association, leads to the success of our teams.  Brian began his career as an accountant but did not enjoy public accounting. After a short term at a big 6 accounting firm, he started Business Accounting Solutions in 1988, which he later sold to Cornerstone Consulting Group. Recognizing the need many small businesses had for sound management advice, Brian went on to start Individual Advantages, LLC, which was later rebranded DBA IA Business Advisors in 2015, as a think tank to develop customized, yet affordable, management solutions driven by our focus on people, process, and technology. Since 1988, Brian has helped over 18,000 business owners and managers on all seven continents (yes, Antarctica, too). Coming from companies of all sizes, he has helped them make decisions to help them grow personally and as an organization. He has a PhD in organizational psychology, a master's degree in management information systems, a bachelor's degree in accounting, and is a certified Six Sigma master black belt consultant.   Topics During this interview Brian and I discuss the following topics: Why he went to Antarticia WHy leaders should be the “I” in the teamWhy being influential as a leader is importantWhy SMART Goals are not the end allWhy understanding your role is crucialDelegate like a proWhy knowing your people is important to avoiding failuresStrategies to find time to be better prepared as a leaderTactics to influence culture change in an organizationHow leaders can can slow down For the complete show notes be sure to check out our website: https://movingforwardleadership.com/205

In today's episode, host Mandy McEwen sits down with Adam Lyons, founder and CEO of The Smart Blueprint. Adam loves acquiring new companies, but he quickly realized he was reinventing the wheel with every new acquisition.

In the Indian fable about the blind men who each touched a different part of the element, we aren’t surprised to see that an argument breaks out. Each man trusted his own perception to guide him. Until someone with sight coached them on their error, they made assumptions about the whole.Within an organization, leaders can easily find themselves in the shoes of blind men. With a limited field of view, they make assumptions about the entire organization, process, and team. Just before recording this podcast episode, I was speaking with the founder of a large, complex organization. She’s found herself at the center of a problem where she’s the sole person resolving conflicts, making decisions, and charting innovative waters. In thinking about our conversation, I reflected on the blind men and the elephant and discovered some important business truths hiding inside the story.  In this episode, you’ll get:How to avoid being the bottleneck, even when you are the visionary founder of the organizationThe challenge when leaders focus too much attention on their own specialization and why it’s a roadblock for the teamWhy having historical and real-time context for business decisions may be the most important data to share across the organizationThe 6 steps to UNLOCK innovation in any business in any industryAnd, you’ll hear how you can bring a WHOLE picture workshop to your own organization to see how revealing the truth drives business success.****When you’re ready to Multiply your Impact, your Income, your Margin and your Freedom in business, join hand-selected business owners just like you in an upcoming...For Love of Team™ Intensive:Coming Virtually & In-Person beginning May 2021Our intimate, immersive and interactive 2.5 day experience:1) Sharpens your focus by doing more of the work you love2) Simplifies your business processes. 3) Surrounding yourself with others doing the work that they loveFor Love of Team™ Intensive is an invitation-only event.  To connect with Winston to see if this is a fit, book a 35 minute exploratory session using this link.

It became an instant hit with the women of Philadelphia, and she has since cultivated close relationships with her customers. Jordan gained his professional business development experience in the engineering & manufacturing staffing industry. After 4 years in the corporate world, Jordan went back to his small business roots and joined forces with Nicole, modeling their parents, who are Brazilian Jazz musicians and run a small business of their own. Jordan joined Lobo Mau in 2016 and has since tripled company revenue and tripled their internal team.Nicole, Jordan, and I had fantastic conversation about:Approaching  sustainability in fashion without getting stuck in perfectionism.The process of building a teamWhy it's important to connect with your local communityAnd what's it's been like opening and running a flagship storeEnjoy!!

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:How his parents’ business and his upbringing created the drive to work hard and how Amit’s always been an entrepreneurWhat he learned in college at Penn, why he went into investment banking upon graduation, and what got him back into being an operator What valuable business lessons he learned while in private equity working with a variety of companies and processing a lot of what would become a part of his leadership styleWhat he learned from his ten years of building Arctic Zero, self-funded, with a supportive team and why his wife won’t go grocery shopping with him anymoreWhat led to the start of Velocity Snack Brands and why they are able to create incredible opportunities for great brands who serve a niche better-for-you snack marketWhat lessons were learned and difficulties persevered through during COVID and what has changed within the organization because of itHow Amit and his team do meetings differently and why they are always striving to make meetings more efficient, more decision oriented, and time sensitive for everyone on the teamWhy the way interviews are conducted at Velocity helps train the whole team to be more equipped for future leadership and also gives everyone ownership in the processWhy Amit believes that vulnerability and transparency are crucial in leading a successful organization and scaling a company for the long termTo Find Out More:VelocitySnackBrands.comQuotes:“I feel like this is why representation actually matters so much. You have to be able to see something and see yourself in that position in order to achieve it.”“Really if I can do your job better than you, you shouldn't work for me. I really shouldn't be able to do anyone's job.” “I really believe in the best idea winning regardless of the position or title.”“I also think there's no job that I won't do. I mean, whether it's wiping counters, taking out the trash, I believe no job is beneath any of us. And we're all rowing on the boat together. So all the efforts help.”“At some point, you have to understand that there has to be a market and a price fit for your product.”“I always tell my team, never, never accept the status quo. Never accept no. Or "That's the way it is." Or "That's the way other people do it." “I think bringing a data driven approach to both pitching the product, to developing the product, to selling the product is really critical in today's marketplace.”“You have to have some emotional connectivity to consumers. You have to resonate with them.”“I think the magic is really in figuring out what consumers love your brand or what consumers to target and what is the true messaging that resonates with them.”“My belief is that there are a lot of great brands out there who do have that emotional connectivity to their consumer base and do service a niche demographic. And they deserve to be.”“If you're only in a swirl, you can't think upstream. And it's really as a leader, it's our job to think upstream.”“Meetings should not just be informational, because then you should just share the info. Send an email. Right? And so just even little things like that free up people's time and energy to focus on strategy.”“All meetings need to have in the first sentence of the invite, "This meeting is to discuss X in order to decide Y." And so that forces a decision from each meeting. Meetings should be 10 percent informational, 50 percent discussion, 40 percent decision or action oriented.”“I think that I get the best out of my team when I'm honest with them, when I'm human with them and we make mistakes like the rest of them. And so I think just being able to say that allows you to be human.”“I can't expect transparency and accountability from my team if I can't be transparent and accountable to them.”“Hopefully every mistake and everything you want to change, you change. There's always time. There's time now. Let's make that impact and move forward.”“You have to empower the team to do the work, and you have to empower the team to make the decisions. And part of that is trusting. Part of that is verifying. And part of that is training.”

How many times has something happened in life where we blamed someone besides ourselves for the outcome? Didn’t get a promotion: it’s your bosses fault for being greedy! Ran late to work: it’s all the other drivers faults, not yours! Investment property having problems: it’s the tenant doing all the damage!Ryan Michler, founder of the Order of Man, sees this sort of victim mentality as a massive block to our full potential. He makes the well-put point that all we can do is control our effort, we can’t control others.This realization didn’t come easy, though.

In Episode 10 of Business Breakthrough Thursdays, mental toughness expert Matt Phillips speaks about the true business differentiator. Matt, a former pro athlete, helps business leaders transform their teams and crush their strategic goals. His focus is the one differentiator that makes the difference between business success and failure: mental toughness. Learn:What mental toughness is and why it is important How to build a strong teamWhy fear is your friendHow to respond instead of reactWhat athletes can teach business leaders about perseverance and resiliencyHow to apply the "film review" concept to address performance issuesHow baseball can teach you to accept failure (a .300 batting average means you fail 7 out of 10 times)The five elements of mental toughness, according to Matt, are:ConfidenceFocusEmotional controlEnergyConsistent actionsThese five elements are instilled in athletes by their coach. Matt coaches business leaders to use these same five elements in their day-to-day lives to achieve success. He offers three big pieces of advice in the podcast:Belief in yourself trumps all other beliefsBe direct, and be bluntTake care of yourself first during your entrepreneurial journeyMatt Phillips is the Founder & CEO of Pro Athlete Advantage, and is regarded as one of the leading experts on human performance and mental toughness development in the world. A former professional baseball player, Matt discovered that peak performance requires a dominant “inner game”. Using his Mental Toughness approach, Matt teaches business leaders and professional athletes how to systematically build their confidence, focus, emotional control, and energy so they can take their game to the next level. Matt counsels corporations on how to build high performance leaders and teams to crush their financial and strategic goals. His unique business model, a five-step process called "Ignite Your Mindset," is a mental toughness program that helps corporate teams and leaders increase their self-confidence so they take consistent action towards their goals, get laser-focused on hitting their numbers and results, master their emotions, and make sure they have high energy every day so they come to work to perform at the peak of their capabilities.

Most CEOs have a vision or value proposition that is the backbone of their company and corporate strategies. Quite frequently, however, that value proposition isn’t communicated to or followed by the sales team (and other important departments). Value proposition misalignment and confusion can wreak havoc on your growth plan as departments market to the wrong customers, work towards different goals, and use the wrong tools and messaging to sell products and services that they don’t fully understand.  We talk with Angela Rakis, Founder of Metis Sales Solutions, about bringing the c-suite and sales teams together to work towards a shared value proposition in our newest episode of the Modern Sales Management podcast.  Angela has over 20 years of experience selling for companies like IBM and Xerox and now she consults with smaller companies to create sales plans, find customers, and grow sales.  Angela and I also discuss: Why there is often a disconnect between operations and sales and how to avoid itTroubleshooting tips for companies with low sales revenueWhat are common roadblocks to value proposition adoption and how to overcome these challengesPointers on getting executives and sales teams to work well togetherHow to create a sales system that produces predictable revenueWhy referrals are more important than ever How to leverage your network to win target accounts through referralsTips on creating a referral partner network to drive sales revenueHow to create a sales playbook that will be adopted company-wideWhy the sales playbook is not just for your sales department and how to get all hands on deck to help your sales teamWhy role-playing is a forgotten tool in sales and how to leverage this strategy to push your company’s value propositionInsights on how executives can attract and retain top talentHow to align your KPIs with your CRM and sales playbookHow sales is changing and how you can stay ahead of the curve in 2021 (and beyond) Connect with Angela on LinkedIn and learn more about her company by visiting her website.  Subscribe and listen to all episodes of the Modern Sales Management podcast on your favorite podcast app or by visiting ModernSalesManagement.com.

When Candace learned how dangerous it is to be Black and give birth in the US, she started looking for solutions. Using her skills as a professional data scientist, she determined that she would be safest opting for an unmedicated birth at a birthing center.There, the staff was patient, respectful and communicative. But at 39 weeks, after days of prodromal labor, a hospital transfer was necessary. That's when her whole experience took a dark turn. About 20% of all birth center births will result in a hospital transfer. The most common reason for transfer is pain management. If we do a little back of the napkin math, that means that Candace's story is incredibly common. That's just unacceptable. We can and should do better and this episode shows how the simplest efforts can make big impacts.In this Episode, You'll Learn About:Which four factors Candace determined improve outcomes for Black parentsWhat respectful medical care looks likeHow Candace discussed racial healthcare disparities with her care teamWhy she decided to switch doctors mid-deliveryWhat convinced Candace it was time for a c-sectionHow she managed the emotional pain and trauma she felt in the wake of her birth--Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode208Check out The Birth Preparation CourseRegister for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right WayAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
