Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast In this episode of the Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm joined by Bob Burg, co-author of the widely loved book: The Go-Giver.   ‍ Bob's writing started with a practical sales book, Endless Referrals, but soon realized the power of storytelling. That led to The Go-Giver, a business parable built around timeless relationship-building principles. ‍ In this insightful episode, Bob shares why giving in business isn't about self-sacrifice - it's about building deep, trusted relationships that grow your impact and income.  ‍ Through storytelling, timeless principles, and real-world experience, he reveals how shifting focus from getting to giving is the secret to sustainable business success. ‍ Join me in this episode to discover practical insights for growing a value-led business, navigating boundaries,asking boldly, and building a brand others can't help but advocate for. ‍ ‍ “Success in business isn't about taking, it's about becoming the kind of person others know, like and trust.” - Bob Burg ‍ In this Week's Episode... ‍ In this episode, you will learn: ‍ Why The Go-Giver was written as a parable, and how that format transforms learning. The true difference between Go-Givers, Go-Getters, and Go-Takers. How value is perceived in the other people's eye and how you define it . Why introverts are naturally better at sales, and how to lean into that. How to give generously without becoming a doormat or burning out. ‍

This one is both tender and sacred.  In my latest podcast episode, I sat down with Ditte Young, a renowned Danish telepath and intuitive communicator also on The Telepathy Tapes, to share a deeply personal experience I felt could help others.  A few weeks ago, Ditte facilitated a telepathic session with my non-verbal bonus daughter, Micaela. What came through — what Micaela shared without ever speaking a word — was transformative.  We talk about what it means to truly listen — not with our ears, but with our hearts. ✨ If you've ever felt that someone was communicating with you energetically, soul to soul… ✨ If you've ever struggled to connect with a child, a loved one, or even your own inner knowing… ✨ Or if you're simply curious about the unseen world of empathy, intuition, telepathy, and spiritual communication… Please don't miss this one. I believe this conversation holds something for all of us. It changed how I see Micaela… and how I see the world. I hope it opens something in you, too.   About Ditte Young Ditte Young is a renowned Danish animal communicator, telepath, and therapist who specializes in intuitive communication with both animals and humans — especially children with autism and other neurodivergent gifts. With over two decades of experience, she helps bridge the worlds of the seen and unseen, bringing messages of love, healing, and deeper understanding to families around the world.   Learn more about Ditte's classes and work: Telepathy for Parents: https://ditteyoung.com/masterclass-for-parents/ Animal Telepathy Mastery:  https://ditteyoung.net/animal-telepathy-mastery-online-course/    Enjoy this powerful conversation with Ditte Young!   Takeaways Ditte Young is a renowned telepathic communicator and energetic healer. Telepathy involves thoughts, images, and emotions exchanged between souls. Children with autism can communicate telepathically, similar to animals. Emotional honesty is crucial in parenting neurodivergent children. Nonverbal communication can reveal deep insights and connections. Every child desires to be helpful and involved in their environment. Parents should allow children to learn through their own experiences, even if it leads to messiness. Understanding a child's emotions can enhance the parent-child bond. Healing often comes from recognizing and addressing personal triggers. Telepathy can be a powerful tool for understanding and connecting with nonverbal individuals. The presence of nonverbal autistic children offers profound lessons for humanity. Empathy is developed through suffering and life lessons. Children today are more spiritually aware and emotionally intelligent than previous generations. The outdated societal systems struggle to accommodate neurodivergent children. Telepathy can be activated by enhancing our five senses and being present. Integrity is crucial in telepathic communication, especially with vulnerable populations. Every individual has the potential to be telepathic; it requires trust in one's intuition. The focus should be on love and care for neurodivergent children rather than frustration. Collective consciousness is essential for societal change and growth. We all have a role in raising the energy and making a paradigm shift.     About Your Host, Julie Reisler Join Julie Reisler weekly, podcast host, intuitive coach, author, and multi-time TEDx speaker, each week to learn how to access your spiritual gifts and inner guidance to be your You-est You® and achieve greater inner peace, spiritual connection, happiness, and abundance.

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Dr. Christopher Willard, a clinical psychologist and author, about the complexities of life's major transitions. At this time of year, this is an especially-important conversation, as some students prepare for the shift to college life. They share their own experiences and provide advice on navigating the pressures of newfound independence, the importance of self-care, and the role of systemic support in easing major transitions. Yes, they also talk about farts, so this episode has something for everyone. TAKEAWAYS It's important to understand the mental health challenges that often arise during major life transitions. There's a role for social media in destigmatizing mental health issues, but it also spreads misinformation. Systemic support is essential in educational institutions, in order to better assist students, especially those from marginalized communities. It's important not to over-pathologize normal emotional experiences. There was a creative process behind Dr. Willard's children's book, "Feelings Are Like Farts," which uses humor to engage kids in understanding emotions. Let the courses in the Neurodiversity University help you be a better educator, parent, and/or clinician. Dr. Christopher Willard is a clinical psychologist, author, and consultant based in Massachusetts, with a global presence as a speaker in over 40 countries and two TEDx events. He is the author of 20 books on mental health and mindfulness, including Alphabreaths, Growing Up Mindful, Feelings Are Like Farts, and the upcoming College Mental Health 101 (2025). Dr. Willard's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN.com, and mindful.org. In addition to his clinical and writing work, he teaches at Harvard Medical School, where he continues to shape conversations around mindfulness, emotional well-being, and mental health in education and beyond.

Clarity and Brevity are the highest creativity. But “clear and brief” does not mean simple and predictable.One the most talented writers of advertising in the world would be surprised to hear me call him that. Jonathan Edward Durham is a novelist. He recently posted this random thought.“‘Why am I so sad today?' I ask myself after staring at my little handheld sadness machine and clicking all the sad little things that will definitely make me sad.”You may not agree with Durham's statement, but you will agree it was artfully crafted.What Durham gave us was clarity and brevity without predictability. This is the mark of a great ad writer.“Why am I so sad today?” immediately gets our attention. We are compelled to keep reading.We are surprised that he owns “a little handheld sadness machine.” But our cleverness allows us to translate it as “iPhone” and we receive a tiny spasm of delight.You have never heard of “a little handheld sadness machine” but you knew exactly what it was.His 30-word sentence demonstrated clarity, brevity, and creativity, but none of what Jonathan Edward Durham wrote was simple or predictable.Durham's ability to bring us – his readers, his listeners, his customers – into active participation in a one-way conversation is pure genius.Jonathan Edward Durham causes us to become engaged with what he is saying.You can do it, too.“Time + Place + Character + Emotion.” That's it. That's how Stephen Semple turns a weak story into a powerful one in his famous TED-X talk.Here's how Jonathan Edward Durham uses Time + Place + Character + Emotion to tell us a story in less than 30 seconds.“About two years ago, we moved across the country. It was a big, stressful move, and anxieties were high all around, and it had only been about six months since we rescued Jack, so he was really just beginning to adjust to having a forever home. Needless to say, Jack didn't understand why a bunch of strangers were taking all of our things, and he was having a very, very ruff time with the whole process.”“We want Jack to live forever. That's why we feed him The Wizard's Magic dog food.”Jonathan Edward Durham's wonderful story became an excellent ad with my addition of just 16 words. “We want Jack to live forever. That's why we feed him The Wizard's Magic dog food.”You already know how to write the 16 words. Now you need to learn how to tell a wonderful story in 76 words like Durham did.Time + Place + Character + Emotion. Give it a try.Roy H. WilliamsPS – Most people use too many words to make too small a point. The average writer wraps lots of words around a small idea. Inflated sentences are fluffy and empty like a hot air balloon. Good writers deliver a big idea quickly. Tight sentences hit hard. – Indy Beagle“Facts tell. Stories sell.” – Tom SchreiterWho do you call when you need your people to cooperate, innovate, and create? Meta, Google, Salesforce, and other big companies call a woman who has a golden reputation for legendary results. Her methods are unorthodox, unconventional, and irresistible.

Guest “Brave Leadership” founder Kimberly Davis champions emerging leaders and senior managers navigating today's workplace and partners with HR professionals looking to develop talent. She shares her inspirational message of personal power, responsibility, and impact with organizations nationwide and teaches leadership programs worldwide. Kimberly is a TEDx speaker whose 2018 book, Brave Leadership, was named one of Inc. Magazine's most impactful books, became an Amazon bestseller in the Business Leadership and Motivation category, and received the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award. She lives in San Diego, CA, with her husband, Tim, and cat, Sulley Magee, while their son, Jeremy, is living his brave in college. Summary Kimberly asserts that effective business leadership is inextricably linked to strong personal leadership, emphasizing that individuals must first believe they are leaders. She emphasizes the crucial importance of understanding one's impact on others and being intentional in interactions. A key tool she introduces is the "super objective," which, in part, emerged from her training in the theater. The super objective helps leaders clarify the desired outcome—what they want others to do, think, feel, say, or believe. By applying these techniques, individuals can develop self-belief, cultivate the potential for authentic leadership, and consciously shape their influence, ultimately transforming their impact on both their professional and personal worlds. Three Important Takeaways Personal Leadership is Foundational: True leadership begins with self-awareness and self-belief; without personal leadership, effective business leadership is unattainable. Intentional Impact: Leaders must be acutely aware of the impact they have on others through their energy and actions, and should define a "super objective" to intentionally guide their desired influence. Unconventional Development: Leveraging techniques from outside the traditional business environment, such as theater's "super objective," provides powerful, unique tools for cultivating self-belief and the potential for authentic leadership.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and David Schnurman discuss:Building a resilient mindset through optimism, reflection, and habit formationLessons from career pivots and entrepreneurial problem-solving in the legal spaceCultivating emotional regulation through gratitude, compassion, and non-judgmentEmbracing technology and AI to repurpose content and increase professional impact Key Takeaways:Journaling and identifying recurring mindset blocks can help lawyers recognize patterns of imposter syndrome and emotional burnout, giving them the self-awareness and clarity needed to shift their thinking and take purposeful steps toward resilience.When faced with the sudden loss or burnout of a critical team member, initiating an honest, values-based conversation centered on purpose, mutual respect, and long-term impact can be the difference between salvaging a project or watching it collapse.Implementing a simple but consistent daily practice of writing down three gratitudes, avoiding all outward complaints for 21 days, and giving five genuine compliments can rewire your stress response and gradually create a more positive, grounded internal state.Delaying your instinct to judge setbacks as inherently negative by using the mantra “good thing, bad thing, who knows” allows you to stay emotionally balanced, maintain perspective, and remain open to positive outcomes that may not be immediately visible. "If you compliment somebody else, and it's authentic, it helps you get through the stress of the wave." —  David SchnurmanUnlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

Unser heutiger Gast begann seinen Weg alles andere als geradlinig: Mit 15 flog er von der Schule, ohne Abschluss, ohne Netzwerk, ohne Plan. Heute ist er Senior Director bei SAP, Bestseller-Autor, TEDx-erprobter Keynote-Speaker und Gastdozent an der EBS Universität. Dazwischen liegen Stationen bei Radio, bei Red Bull, in der Start-up-Szene und eine beispiellose Karriere, die vor allem eines zeigt: Wie kraftvoll der unkonventionelle Weg sein kann, wenn man sich traut, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gilt als kreativer Wegweiser für Wandel in Unternehmen, als Vordenker für Mindful Leadership und als inspirierende Stimme für eine Arbeitswelt mit mehr Menschlichkeit, Neugier und Mut zum Unperfekten. In seiner Rolle bei SAP entwickelt er nicht nur marktorientierte Innovationsnarrative, sondern begeistert mit Storytelling, das Tiefgang und Leichtigkeit verbindet, immer mit dem Ziel, komplexe Ideen verständlich und emotional zu machen. Sein Buch trägt den passenden Titel: „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt.“ Es ist eine Einladung, sich spielerische Leichtigkeit, kindliche Neugier und kreativen Mut zurückzuerobern, gerade jetzt, wo KI und Komplexität die Arbeitswelt umkrempeln. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In 500 Gesprächen mit über 600 Menschen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich noch ändern muss. Warum lohnt es sich, die kindlichen Fähigkeiten wie Neugier, Mut und Verspieltheit wieder freizulegen und wann haben wir sie eigentlich verloren? Was können Führungskräfte lernen, wenn sie wieder mehr fragen, spielen und zuhören, statt zu bewerten, kontrollieren und zu optimieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Christian Wehner. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Dave Won is a TEDx speaker, Certified Money Coach® (CMC), former Air Force Captain, and founder of Dave Won & Co. He empowers B2B sales teams to overcome money-blocks and shift their mindset toward confident, value-driven conversations that close higher-value deals. Through his unique blend of coaching and neuroscience-informed frameworks, Dave helps sales professionals uncover deep-seated money beliefs and transform their performance from the inside out. SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Dave Won, a TEDx speaker, certified money coach, and founder of Dave Won & Co. The conversation focuses on the power of self-awareness in sales—especially when it comes to money beliefs that may unconsciously sabotage performance. Dave shares his journey from scarcity-based thinking to transforming the culture of sales teams by addressing money mindset at its core. The discussion explores how early money stories shape our approach to value-based selling and why authentic, client-focused conversations drive better results. KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthentic Selling: Building trust and sincerity is foundational to sustainable sales success.Mindset Matters: Unconscious money beliefs can act as a ceiling that limits your potential.Childhood Influence: Many financial behaviors are rooted in beliefs formed before age seven.Discovery is Ongoing: The sales discovery process should never end after the first call.Self-Sabotage Awareness: Recognizing and addressing your own limiting beliefs prevents lost opportunities.Coaching Matters: Money mindset coaching can unlock confidence and clarity in sales conversations.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESYou will never outsell your money beliefs. Your money beliefs will act as a ceiling.Closing the deal doesn't necessarily mean victory.It's about identifying the anchor that holds you back to move forward.Whenever money is involved, people can act irrationally. 

Kicking things off, Jack Dorsey—a man with too much time on his hands—has vibe-coded his beard into an insecure messaging app that the company admits you shouldn't trust... yet. Meanwhile, if you want a piece of a legendary disaster, the Fyre Festival brand sold for a mere $245k after some shady bidding that might be a "shitty agentic AI" at work.In the world of our future robot overlords, Nvidia's CEO calmly admitted "some harm will be done," while billionaires like Travis Kalanick are busy discovering "vibe physics" with Elon Musk's Grok—an AI that literally checks what its dad thinks before answering. But the real insanity? The internet is demanding an apology from Elmo's hacked account, proving we're mad at the puppet, not the puppeteer. On the more tangible front, Tesla is making desperate moves in Canada and India as sales collapse, while we learn that hackers have been able to stop US trains for over a decade remotely, but no one has bothered to fix the issue. Oh, and laid-off Candy Crush staff? They were forced to train their AI replacements on the way out the door. The future is bright.Over in Media Candy, we're grudgingly impressed by Andor's 14 Emmy nods and the genius faux '90s action movie trailer for Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II. We also got trailers for Stranger Things 5 and Tron: Ares, where Jared Leto thankfully only speaks two words.Finally, Dave takes us to the Dark Side for a nostalgia trip through the history of the Apple II and the Kaypro 2000 laptop, sparking a debate on why we all coveted a computer that, in retrospect, wasn't that great. This is contrasted with the modern reality of an IPTV pirate getting three years in prison and Metallica issuing a copyright strike against the Pentagon. To wrap it all up, a TEDx talk poses the ultimate question: Has tech delivered on its promises? We're still thinking about that one.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Join us for a transformative discussion with Shelly Lefkoe, a trailblazer in the field of personal development for over 35 years. Shelly shares the innovative approach developed by her late husband to help individuals break free from limiting beliefs that hinder personal and professional growth. Through engaging stories and powerful analogies, she explains how these beliefs, often formed unconsciously, dictate our behaviors and emotions. Discover how to maintain balance in life by nurturing all aspects, akin to watering different plants—business, family, health, and relationships—to create a harmonious existence. Shelly emphasizes the importance of identifying and transforming core beliefs, such as "I'm not good enough," to facilitate meaningful change and achieve lasting outcomes. Listen in as Shelly explores the profound impact of changing the meanings we assign to events and how this can empower us to eliminate negative emotions. She offers insights into her process, contrasting it with traditional therapy, as a swift and effective means to overcome self-doubt, fear of failure, and procrastination. Through Shelly's expertise and her book "Hitting the Wall: Eliminate the Beliefs that Sabotage your Business and your Life," you'll gain valuable tools to understand and overcome patterns that hold you back. Moreover, we explore the journey of authentic self-discovery and empowerment, encouraging listeners to shift their focus from seeking external validation to serving and connecting with others genuinely.

Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sicola) VIDEO VERSION: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/youtube My returning guest is Dr. Laura Sicola, TEDx speaker and author of Speaking To Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. The last time she was on, we meant to talk about how to master your leadership voice, but instead ended up talking about how your name matters in dating and attraction. So as promised, she's back to cover what we had originally planned. What's the first step to using your voice to get ahead in your career, and indeed in life? Find out about what Laura calls "the linguistic glass ceiling" and how to blast through it. What are the special communication skills that are unique to leaders? How can high IQ guys fall into traps that are uniquely set for them? As it turns out, the way to make people think you're smart and competent is very similar to how to make them think you're a cool guy. Laura explains that in detail, including how the "dance of communication" ties into it. How do we pigeonhole ourselves into poor leadership communication, simply by overlooking the nuanced finesse required in most situations? Better yet, how do we fix that? How do you adjust both the objective and subjective elements of your communications style based on who exactly you're leading, and in what context? How can you earn respect through your communicative leadership rather than demanding it? What's the real relationship between what you say and how you say it? (Hint: It may not be what you've heard in the past.) How can you "match the energy" of the person you're talking to in a way that builds respect and rapport? What are the big mistakes that even major companies make when attempting to communicate to their customer base in a way that creates admiration and goodwill?

Pissed, Passive, or Potent? How to Stay in Your Power When Everything Falls Apart "Potency is standing in the fire and choosing not to burn yourself." What do a travel nightmare, a betrayal, and a broken plan all have in common? They each offer you a choice—not just in how you respond, but in who you choose to be. In this raw and real episode, Lora shares the story of a 24-hour travel meltdown and the powerful metaphor it became for life after infidelity. Discover how to navigate the 3 P's: Pissed (when you spiral in blame and frustration) Passive (when you check out or freeze) Potent (when you own your power and act in alignment with who you really are) Because healing isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying present, breathing through the fire—and choosing not to burn everything down. Whether you're deep in betrayal recovery, coping with change, or just having a rough day, this episode will remind you: You are more powerful than your circumstances. Book Your Introductory Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/first-time-session Top Three Takeaways: Your Identity Is Always a Choice You don't choose betrayal—but you do choose who you'll be on the other side of it. Don't Become the Emotion Feel your frustration, anger, or sadness—but don't become it. You are more than your feelings.

Can storytelling really transform the way we lead, connect, and communicate at work? In this episode, I'm joined by TEDx speaker, trauma-informed coach, and author of Meerbott's Fables, Kelly Meerbott. Inspired by none other than Dr. Seuss, Kelly's tales aren't just for bedtime—they're changing how leaders talk about tough topics like psychological safety, DEI, burnout, and inclusion. We unpack why storytelling hits so differently today, how it can cut through corporate noise, and why the ability to connect emotionally might just be the most underrated leadership skill of all. Whether you're a CEO or a storyteller-in-waiting remember, if they're not moved, they won't move. ----more---- Key Takeaways If they're not moved, they won't move – Leadership communication needs emotion, not just information. Stories break down resistance – Fables connect with people across neurotypes, roles, and belief systems. Say less, mean more – Jargon kills clarity. Simplicity and humanity create impact. Use story to spark discussion, not silence it – Good stories open space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – The problems with communication today 0:04:00 – Who is Kelly Meerbott?

What happens when we strip away the labels that divide us and start genuinely seeing each other? Karen Holliday, transformational leader and faith-based business consultant, joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about authentic connection in an increasingly fragmented world.Karen's journey begins with profound loss—her father's death when she was seven, followed by her mother's necessary absence as she worked to support the family. Left to essentially raise themselves, Karen and her brothers navigated childhood without parental guidance. This early adversity could have hardened her heart, but instead became the foundation for her remarkable capacity to connect with others across differences.The conversation explores the strange contradiction in human nature: we celebrate underdog stories and triumph over adversity in our entertainment, yet desperately avoid challenges in our own lives. Karen brings wisdom from her experience moving to Salt Lake City, where as a non-LDS person in a predominantly Mormon community, she chose understanding over judgment. Rather than remaining defensive about differences, she created bridges by genuinely seeking to understand others' worlds—a practice she now teaches clients facing personal and professional barriers.Some of the most moving moments come when Karen discusses family reconciliation. After decades of estrangement, she approached her mother with courage and boundaries: "I don't think you were a good mother at all... but I would like my children to have a grandmother." This brave conversation led to fifteen years of beautiful friendship before her mother's passing—a powerful testament to the healing possibilities when we choose connection over resentment.Whether you're facing professional challenges, personal roadblocks, or simply feeling disconnected in today's divided culture, Karen's approach offers a refreshingly simple starting point: "What does tomorrow look like for you?" This question pulls us out of today's pain and opens doors to possibility thinking—sometimes exactly what we need when hope seems lost.Ready to break down the walls in your life?

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Keller Wood, Montessori educator, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance. We challenge the myth of work-life balance and instead explore the powerful metaphor of a life mosaic—how different aspects of our life can align without rigid separation. Katie shares how purpose-driven work, often viewed with guilt or skepticism, can actually be a vital source of personal meaning and fulfillment. She draws from Montessori principles in order to emphasize the importance of not losing oneself in their meaningful work, but instead cultivate awareness, alignment, and joy in all areas of life. This episode is for anyone wanting to do their purpose work and create a meaningful life without burning out.   Dr. Katie Keller Wood grew up in the world of education, and delights in helping people find new ways of thinking about the world. Discovering Montessori education, both as a pedagogy and a philosophy, was pivotal for her, and she is on a mission to bring a Montessori perspective of work to everyone.    Katie has had the great honor of working with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs, called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. Any given semester might find Katie teaching undergraduates at the University of Virginia, where she earned both her bachelor's and her doctorate degrees, master's students at Xavier University, or doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She is active in the Montessori research and teacher education communities.    Katie does her work because she believes that a more peaceful, just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible, and that it takes all of us leading our aligned lives to bring this world forward. Katie lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a TEDx and keynote speaker and a sought-after presenter for workshops and conferences. Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance is her first book.     Guest's Contact – Linedin Website Book Contact Jeffrey – JeffreyShaw.com Books by Jeffrey Shaw Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs Watch my TEDx LincolnSquare video and please share!

And in this powerful episode, Tiffany Yu, founder of Diversability, TEDx speaker, and author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is sharing how she turned her own disability into a global movement for inclusion. After a car accident made her disabled and took her father's life, Tiffany eventually found the courage more than a decade later to share her story, helping others unlearn shame and embrace their own identities.You'll hear how Tiffany built Diversability from a college club into a thriving international community, why employers must rethink job descriptions and office norms to foster true accessibility, and how storytelling paired with data can radically shift public perception.If you want to build more inclusive communities, Tiffany's magnetic energy and practical wisdom will inspire you to see lived experience as a superpower rather than a limitation.Resources & LinksConnect with Tiffany on her website, order her book, The Anti-Ablelist Manifesto, and watch her TED talk, The Power of Exclusion.  This show is brought to you by iDonate.

I am standing on a court in Santa Barbara, and it's my very first pickleball lesson. I arrived early and I'm already warmed up, focused and ready to do everything exactly right. In fact, even before booking this lesson, I researched every single coach in town. I landed on Richard Pastoria because he's the real deal: a professional coach for over 25 years, the resident pickleball pro at the Valley Club of Montecito, and - not only that - he also has a military background. That combination of structure and discipline and high standards speaks to me because I've been an athlete my entire life, and I take performance seriously, so I want to work with someone who brings that level of excellence and who understands focus like I do. I'm thinking we are going to be perfectly aligned. A few minutes into the lesson, we are already deep into a drill, and Coach Richard feeds me a ball. I move the way I think I'm supposed to and swing the way I think I'm supposed to… and I completely miss. Instantly, I feel my entire body tighten. I start analyzing. What did I do wrong? Was it my grip, or maybe it was my footwork? Or it could be my timing… I replay this moment in my mind, and I start getting mad at myself because I'm doing what he's telling me to do. I can feel myself spiraling faster and faster. I am an athlete. I should be able to do this. I should be able to pick this up.  I want so badly to get this right. It's at this moment that Coach Richard can see me spiraling. Across the court, I hear him yell out, “Kymberlee!” Okay, here it comes. I'm bracing myself, thinking that it's going to be a technical adjustment, another drill, and he says, “It's just pickleball.” That's it. No lecture, no overanalysis, just those three words. At that moment, I laugh. My shoulders drop, and I stop holding my breath because he's right; it is just pickleball. All of a sudden, I think, what if this were fun? Everything shifts. I keep playing, but now I feel lighter, looser, still focused but not robotic. I start laughing when I miss. I reset faster and strangely start hitting the ball better, and I realize that I don't have to choose between working hard and also having fun. I can actually care deeply and enjoy myself at the exact same time, and that paradox, that is where the power is. In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, I discuss what you can do to make your story truly land, why too much control kills connection, and so much more. You'll get answers to questions like: How can you be both serious about your performance and still have fun at the same time? What elements need to be in alignment in order to deliver a memorable Talk? How can you tell a compelling story without sounding robotic or rehearsed?  What you will learn in this episode: How mastery over your Talk is in the balance between effort and ease Why your energy should be in sync with your story  Why perfection is not persuasive Why letting go just enough creates the necessary space for authenticity, flow, and real impact A little about me: Hi there. I'm Kymberlee. As a Speaking Strategist and founder of Storytelling School, I've had the pleasure of working with over 500 speakers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs worldwide for over a decade. No matter if those folks were getting ready to take the TED or TEDx stage or preparing for a high-stakes presentation with everything on the line, my specialty is High Stakes Short Form Communication. I've seen what works when influencing change and what doesn't. It turns out storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your arsenal. That's why I'm building a movement of master storytellers to affect change in the world on a global scale to help people tell real stories that have influence and impact. With effective storytelling, you change people's lives. Since competition for potential client attention is fierce, a story can make the difference between being memorable or irrelevant. You'll find me sharing my matcha tea mishap to discuss perfectionism, my quest for Bruce Lee and Hello Kitty art to explore kindness, or, as I discuss in this episode, the six months of live blade training I underwent to illustrate presence. I spend my days showing the power of using stories to help cement ideas and bring lessons to life and teach my clients to do the same. If you think business owners can't tell stories or don't have stories to share with their clients, staff, donors, followers, or investors, I invite you to reconsider your perspective. There's no better place than in business to tell your stories so audiences, no matter how big or small, can understand how you think and what you value. Now it's your turn... If you're ready to become a master storyteller and effect change in our world, you've come to the right place.
