If your marketing feels like it's working harder… but not necessarily working better, you're not imagining it.In this episode, I'm joined by our lead speaking coach, Diane Diaz, for part one of a two-part series all about why your signature talk isn't just “nice to have” - it's actually the foundation of an effective marketing strategy.We're seeing it everywhere: more content, more noise, more competition for attention. And yet, many women entrepreneurs and professionals are still treating their talks as an afterthought — something they dust off when a speaking opportunity pops up.That's a missed opportunity. Your signature talk is your marketing.In our conversation, Diane and I break down why public speaking accelerates the know-like-trust factor faster than almost any other marketing channel — and how a well-designed signature talk can do the heavy lifting for you.We talk about:Why speaking creates deeper trust than social media posts, emails, or even podcasts aloneHow a single lead-generation talk brought in multiple new clients the same day — without being salesyThe difference between passive marketing (scrolling, consuming) and active engagement (participating, resonating, deciding)Why audiences are more likely to trust you when they see other people responding to your message (hello, mirror neurons)What a signature talk really is (hint: it's not just one rigid presentation you give foreverAs you listen, I want you to start thinking about:What problem do you really solve for your clients?What does your audience think is holding them back — and what do you see that they don't yet?Where might you be sharing information… when what your audience needs is leadership, perspective, and clarity?If that feels fuzzy (and for most people, it does), you're not doing it wrong. This is exactly why an outside perspective — and a proven framework — makes such a difference.In the next episode, we're diving into how to design and deliver presentations that actually convert — without awkward pitches or forced CTAs.If you've ever thought, “I'm speaking, but it's not leading to clients,” part two is for you.And if you're ready to build a signature talk that becomes the backbone of your marketing, visibility, and thought leadership, you can learn more about working with us inside the Thought Leader Academy, through a VIP Day, or at one of our in-person Orlando speaking workshops.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/456/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Attend our 1-day Speaking Accelerator Workshop in Orlando: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/orlando/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxDiane Diaz = https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianediaz/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 453: Why Your Best Talk is the One You Give Again (and Again)Episode 396: Creating a Signature Talk that Attracts Paid Speaking Opportunities

Disconnected from your body in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores quantum human design for neurodivergent reconnection with Dr. Karen Parker, Human Design/Quantum Human Design expert (psychology/holistic health background, founder of Quantum Human Design™). Integrating ancient wisdom/quantum physics, Dr. Parker decodes energetic blueprints for growth—workshops/courses/consults empowering authentic purpose/societal harmony. Key insights: Body disconnection: Epidemic from kindergarten (overstim/shame, "treehouse" numbness); leads to distractions (TV/phone/food) to avoid pain. Micro-trauma: Not just big events—shaming needs (e.g., bathroom denial) teaches "unsafe to be me"; compounds to burnout (body refuses mask). Redefine value: Shift from material/numerical (money/size) to preciousness (once-in-lifetime cosmic event)—nurture self like royal gems. Quantum human design: High-frequency language rewires stories (photon storms/neurotransmitters); hero's journey (creative writing/dance) upgrades victim to victor, boosts immunity/creativity. Healing steps: Compassion without judgment ("ready for change"); rest/outdoors/body listening; frequency physics (high vibe pulls others up—influential/authentic living). ND application: Burnout from masking (exhaustion trying to fit); safe embodiment for empaths/sensitives—rewrite low-frequency trauma narratives. For autistic/ADHD in overwhelm/isolation, Dr. Parker's blueprint: "Preciousness heals—get in body, rewrite story."

Jess Butcher MBE, CEO and founder of Scrollaware on her transition from tech entrepreneur to social advocate for digital balance. The award-winning consumer tech entrepreneur, (most notably with AR pioneer, Blippar), a Fortune "Most Powerful Female Entrepreneur", BBC's 100 Women and three times TEDx speaker, calls for an urgent, more ethical approach to societal tech-addiction.  She argues that consumers, educators, legislators... and now business must take action to address the rapid society-wide growth of overwhelm, distraction, negativity, polarisation and loneliness . She shares evidence of the growing shoots of digital defiance among Gen Z and Gen Alpha and cites marketers and advertisers from KitKat to Heineken who are already leveraging cultural changes to shift the conversation.  She declares this the next CSR frontier, with the potential for businesses to work together to reprioritise the IRL embodied lives of both their staff and customers. 

In this episode, Ashley welcomes close friend, community builder, and "Vulnerable AF" workshop creator Veronica Kaulinis for a powerful and heartfelt conversation on vulnerability, self-honesty, and authentic connection. As My Space enters a meaningful transition, this wrap-up conversation invites listeners into a deeper exploration of what it truly means to be seen, by others and by yourself. Veronica shares her personal evolution from wearing emotional "masks" in relationships to creating spaces where honesty, courage, and intimacy can thrive. Ashley and Veronica dive into the real work of vulnerability: why it feels risky, why we avoid it, and how choosing honesty can transform our relationships. They unpack common blocks like fear of conflict, fear of being "too much," and fear of losing love, while offering grounded, practical tools to navigate difficult conversations with integrity. This episode is a reminder that vulnerability isn't about oversharing, it's about taking responsibility, telling the truth, and creating connection through presence and repair.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: • Why self-honesty is the foundation of vulnerability and authentic connection • How wearing "masks" in relationships disconnects us,  and how to stop • Powerful journaling prompts to uncover what you're not saying and why • How to have brave, uncomfortable conversations without abandoning yourself • The role of somatic experiencing and authentic relating in emotional intimacy • Common fears that block vulnerability, including conflict, messiness, and loss • What "repair conversations" are and how they can heal relational ruptures • Why taking responsibility beats victimhood in building trust and intimacy • How vulnerability with yourself creates deeper, more fulfilling relationships   This episode is for anyone craving deeper connection, struggling with honesty in relationships, or ready to stop performing and start showing up as their true self, whether in love, friendship, community, or personal growth.

Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Pearce, a personal executive coach based in Baltimore, Maryland, who shares her incredible journey from high-powered CEO to finding a life defined by joy and purpose. Rebecca recounts her rise to becoming the nation's first Health Benefit Exchange CEO in 2011, a role she poured her life into for two years before losing it very publicly in 2013. This loss of professional identity was followed by a life-threatening health crisis when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a ping-pong ball. The grueling surgery and subsequent recovery—which included partial paralysis and hearing loss—served as a definitive wake-up call, shifting her focus from titles and money to the simple, profound joy of being present for her family. Rebecca now uses her experience to help other successful individuals navigate their own transformations through her coaching and her new book, You Don't Have to Achieve to be Loved. She details her four-phase change process: Unfortunate Awareness, Mourning the Past, One Foot In, One Foot Out, and finally, Clearly Me. By blending executive strategy with deep emotional work, Rebecca guides her clients—like a pastor she recently helped transition into a new calling—to balance their passions with realistic financial planning. She defines an empowered woman as someone who understands their inner self and has the courage to give voice to their truths, regardless of external expectations.

Creating Organizational Cultures That Actually Work In this episode, Michael and cultural anthropologist Jitske Kramer dive deep into the heart of organizational culture. Michael shares a story from a startup he supported, where a crystal clear sense of purpose created unity, loyalty, and a genuine feeling of belonging. Employees stayed because they felt connected to something bigger than a job description. Jitske expands on this by highlighting how leaders shape culture through the behaviors, values, and norms they model. She stresses that culture is never an accident. It is a series of daily choices and conversations. When leaders fail to engage with their teams or invite them into meaningful decision making, organizations lose clarity and people lose their sense of belonging. Both Michael and Jitske agree that leaders miss countless opportunities to build trust simply because they are not intentionally engaging with their people. Transformative Leadership and the Power of Human Connection Michael brings up a powerful metaphor involving an orchestra conductor to show how communication and knowledge flow can transform the relationship between leaders and their teams. When the conductor shifts from directing to connecting, the entire ensemble transforms. The energy changes. People take ownership. Collaboration becomes natural rather than forced. Jitske builds on this idea by contrasting transactional interactions with transformative ones. Transactional moments keep the lights on, but transformative moments build the future. She emphasizes the need for what she calls campfire conversations. These are the unhurried, human centered discussions where ideas form, trust deepens, and innovation actually has space to emerge. They conclude that the most successful organizations are the ones that prioritize human to human connection over rigid systems and corporate scripts. Finding Clarity in the Messy Middle of Change Jitske introduces her latest book, Tricky Times, which explores liminality. Liminality refers to the messy middle stage of change when the old story no longer works and the new story is not yet formed. She describes this phase as uncomfortable but deeply necessary. She explains that societies worldwide are wrestling with a kind of midlife crisis. People are questioning the expectation of nonstop economic growth and the conflict it creates with environmental and social realities. In these liminal spaces, power dynamics shift. Cultural identities get rewritten. Leaders are challenged to redefine what truly matters. Michael shares how timely these insights feel, especially given the current political climate in the United States and abroad. He highlights how difficult but essential conversations shape whether we move forward with intention or stay stuck in old patterns. Leading with Courage in Tricky Times Jitske describes the leadership challenges she writes about in Tricky Times. She warns against leaders who act like tricksters, constantly pushing boundaries without offering guidance or stability. True leadership requires bold honesty, grounded decision making, and the willingness to enter uncomfortable conversations. She emphasizes that balanced leadership is essential. Leaders must be willing to question assumptions, tell the truth about what is working and what is not, and invite their organizations into deeper reflection. Tricky Times has become a bestseller in the Netherlands, and Jitske is sharing its message with influential political leaders who are navigating uncertainty on a national scale. The book is available as an e-book on Amazon and offers a grounded, human centered framework for leading through cultural transformation. Jitske Kramer is a renowned Dutch corporate anthropologist who translates real-world lessons from communities around the globe into practical tools for modern workplaces.    She travels the world to learn from traditional healers, innovators, random passers-by, and everyday communities, studying how humans bond, lead, and resolve conflict — and brings those insights into the boardroom.   Her latest book, Tricky Times (a #1 Dutch bestseller), explores what it takes to lead in “the messy middle” — those uncertain in-between phases where old systems break down before new ones emerge.    With 25+ years of experience, she has shaped transformation for Nike, Unilever, Calvin Klein, and Philips, authored 9 bestselling books (150,000+ copies sold), and spoken alongside Simon Sinek, Amy Edmondson, Yuval Noah Harari on stages like TEDx and Workhuman Live.   Jitske's sharp, funny, and “aha”-filled style makes anthropology highly accessible for leaders facing change, culture challenges, and transformation.   Topics:  The messy middle: Leading effectively through uncertainty and liminal times The real drivers of company culture: Rituals, symbols, and hidden power structures How to “think like an anthropologist” to sense change and spot unseen dynamics The difference between formal power and cultural power — and why rank-awareness is critical for leaders What tribes can teach today's organizations about handling dilemmas and conflict   More about Jitske:  Founder of HumanDimensions, a pioneering training company that helps organizations strengthen teamwork and company culture.  Featured in the Patterns of Life documentary series, in which she traveled to India as an anthropologist.  Former Fellow at the Oxford Leadership Academy; holds a master's degree in cultural anthropology from Utrecht University.  Other books by Jitske: Building Tribes, Wow! What a Difference, Work Has Left the Building, Jam Cultures, andThe Corporate Tribe (which won the prestigious 2016 Management book of the Year Award). Take a look at Jitske's keynotes, other public speeches, TV appearances, and writings.    To get a sense of Jitske, here's an appearance she made on The Culture Lab podcast, talking about the making of a corporate tribe and how to effectively deal with diversity in a team.

Rewriting D-Day After Infidelity: Winter Solstice Ritual to Heal Betrayal Trauma & Stop Obsessive Thoughts What if you could go back and prepare for D-Day? Not to stop the betrayal from happening, but to soften the blow, steady your nervous system, and walk yourself through the darkest night of your soul with reverence, support, and a plan. In this deeply soulful Solstice episode, Lora guides you through a powerful re-imagining of D-Day using the energy of the winter solstice — the longest, darkest night of the year. Instead of bracing against the pain of betrayal, you'll learn how to “pack your bag” for the dark night of the soul: tending your body, nervous system, and subconscious so you can move through the darkness with preparation, not panic. Drawing on childbirth metaphors, subconscious re-patterning, and the natural arc from winter solstice to summer solstice, Lora walks you step-by-step into the memory of D-Day and back out again — this time as the woman you are now: wiser, more resourced, and no longer alone. You'll leave with a six-month roadmap for healing, micro-boundaries to support your body and soul, and a new understanding of why you're not broken… you're just ready for a different map. Top 3 Takeaways Why D-Day still hijacks your body (and how to change it) How betrayal trauma locks into the subconscious mind and nervous system, and why you can't just “decide to stop ruminating” or think your way out of it. The Winter Solstice Betrayal Ritual: Preparing for the Dark Night of the Soul How to “pretend” solstice is your D-Day, pack your metaphoric bag, and consciously walk yourself into the darkness with support, tools, and reverence — so your body learns that you can bear it and you will come out the other side. From Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice: A Six-Month Healing Map How to set micro-boundaries, tiny daily practices, and structures of accountability that quietly rewire your life over six months — so one day you look up and realize, “It's lighter now. I'm actually okay… and I'm not obsessing anymore.” Favorite Quote “The real tragedy of betrayal isn't the betrayal itself. It's failing to rise up afterward and reclaim your heart, your soul, your identity.” Apply or learn more: https://loracheadle.com/rise-and-reign Book your $97 Introductory Session: https://introductorysession.com Your healing is not about managing them.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Jessica Weiss, renowned happiness expert, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Happiness Works. With over 15 years of experience coaching leaders at organizations such as American Express, Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola, Jessica brings neuroscience, positive psychology, and real-world performance insights into the creator economy. Together, they break down why creators feel burned out, overwhelmed, and inconsistent even when things appear to be working. Jessica explains the brain science behind negativity bias, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the fear of being seen, revealing why our brains are wired for survival, not happiness, and how that wiring quietly sabotages creativity and confidence. They also explore the emotional cost of constant output, why creators slip into autopilot mode, and how ignoring replenishment shows up in performance, engagement, and data. Jessica shares practical tools for managing pressure, building sustainable creative rhythms, and separating self-worth from metrics so creators can grow without burning out.

When family dynamics are painful, confusing, and chronically one-sided, the usual advice ("but it's your parent" / "family is everything" / "just forgive and move on") can make you feel even more trapped. In the season finale of the WANTcast, Dr. Sherrie Campbell — clinical psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker — breaks down what actually separates everyday conflict from emotionally abusive family systems, why "no contact" is often misunderstood, and how to protect your peace without getting sucked back into the old roles. We talk about: What emotional abuse looks like (and what it's not) No contact vs. low contact vs. "cordial contact" What actually qualifies someone as a "toxic family member" The cost of going no contact (and how to prepare for that reality) Boundary-setting tools, plus how to stay present while giving toxic people nothing to hook into How smear campaigns work, and why going no contact can mean losing more relationships than you expected Parenting with toxic grandparents in the mix Rebuilding trust after experiencing family trauma and so, so much more. ***CW: Discuss both of physical and emotional abuse, deep trauma, and sensitive subject matter that might hit close to home if you're a survivor of abuse. If you need to bookmark this episode to come back to later, Dr Sherrie and I will be HERE for you when this conversation is something that feels supportive

Are your top performers actually holding back your organization's growth? Today on Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick talks with Eduardo Briceño, global keynote speaker, CEO of Growth.How, and author of "The Performance Paradox". Eduardo is one of the leading voices on growth mindset in organizations, building on 16+ years of work with Carol Dweck as co-founder of Mindset Works and two TEDx talks that have each passed 4 million views. Together, they unpack how leaders and companies can move beyond one-off inspiration and build true learning cultures that deliver sustained performance. Eduardo explains his core framework: the Learning Zone and the Performance Zone. Most organizations live almost entirely in performance mode—chasing metrics, staying "on," and delivering results. He shows why that approach quietly caps growth, and how deliberately creating Learning Zone time is the unlock for innovation, resilience, and long-term excellence. You'll hear how he designs keynotes and workshops like a master teacher, not a showman. Eduardo starts with clear learning objectives, then engineers experiences that shift how leaders think, behave, and make decisions. It's not about delivering a great "show"; it's about making sure people leave seeing their work differently and ready to act. Eduardo and Peter also explore what it really takes to build a growth-mindset culture at scale. They talk about partnering with organizations over time, embedding the ideas from The Performance Paradox into leadership programs, talent systems, and everyday language. Eduardo shares why well-intentioned "growth" initiatives often backfire—and how to avoid the hidden traps that send mixed signals to your people. Finally, they look at impact. Eduardo discusses how he went from frameworks to a major Penguin Random House book, how he gathered more than 100 real-world stories to bring his ideas to life, and why he's now focused on working longitudinally with clients instead of just doing single events. For CEOs and senior leaders, this conversation is a playbook for turning your organization into a place where people are both learning faster and performing better. Three Key Takeaways: • Always-on performance quietly caps growth; organizations need deliberate time and space for the Learning Zone, not just the Performance Zone. • "Growth mindset" only works when it's operationalized—through concrete systems, habits, and experiences that teach people how to learn and improve, not just that they can. • The biggest impact comes from embedding these ideas into leadership programs, talent systems, and culture over time—not from one-off keynotes or events. If this episode reshaped how you think about performance and the Learning Zone, your next stop should be our conversation with Phil Geldart on Unlocking Human Potential. Both episodes tackle the same core challenge—how to move beyond "always on" performance and build a culture where learning, experimentation, and behavior change are baked into the way work gets done. Eduardo gives you the strategic lens and language (Learning vs. Performance Zone, growth mindset in action); Phil dives into how to design experiential learning that actually sticks and changes what people do on Monday morning. Listen to both and you'll walk away with a playbook that connects big ideas about learning culture to concrete tools for driving performance across your organization.

In this episode, I sit down with Rick Yvanovich, CEO and Founder of TRG International, to explore leadership through the lens of mentoring, coaching, and human-centric growth. With more than four decades of global experience across finance, technology, and human capital, Rick shares how coaching leaders, not just implementing systems, is the real driver of sustainable transformation.As a Certified Master Coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Business As UnUsual, Rick discusses how executives can develop self-awareness, resilience, and clarity in an era defined by AI, constant change, and increasing complexity. The conversation dives into mentoring future leaders, building coaching cultures inside organizations, and preparing executives and boards to lead with empathy, accountability, and purpose.This episode is a must-listen for leaders, founders, and executives who want to grow themselves, elevate others, and create lasting impact through intentional mentoring and coaching.

Feeling stuck in ND corporate grind or creative chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats getting unstuck for neurodivergent entrepreneurs with Murielle Ungricht, autistic business coach (25 years experience, founded/sold businesses, certified master career coach). Late-diagnosed autistic, TEDx speaker/author of "Get Unstuck!" (self-help for procrastination/overthinking), and founder/CEO of Nuumani.com (AI-human coaching platform for accessible support), Murielle mentors "unconventional" creatives/ND folks to trade fear for joy—focusing on entrepreneurship/productivity/mental health/trauma/leadership/feminism. Key insights: Late diagnosis journey: From feeling "wrong" to embracing gifts (detail-oriented/resilient routines); measure personal wins, not NT standards. Unstuck formula: Recognize autistic strengths (structure/habits) for success; trial/error to build sustainable systems (e.g., batching content to avoid overwhelm). Perfectionism/self-sabotage: Rewire negative voice (mindfulness: "Is it true? What if opposite?"); drop bars gradually—produce "good enough" without procrastination. AI coaching (Nuumani): Democratizes access (free sessions/human network); combines her tech/coaching background for ND-friendly tools. Young autistics: Find formula for world not built for you—expose to new safely, forgive meltdowns, seek support; "so what?" mindset for fearless living. Advice: Don't worry—start now; connect dots with strengths (big picture + detail); consistency over blueprints (AI helps, but human touch essential). For autistic/ADHD young adults/entrepreneurs, Murielle's vibe: "Be unreasonable for amazing life—autism isn't barrier, it's superpower."

Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Gwinnett leaders update lawmakers on voting site challenges, public safety efforts Gwinnett County is cutting polling locations—down from 156 to 144—and the reason? Insurance headaches. Churches and private organizations, once reliable voting sites, are pulling out, according to Elections Supervisor Zach Manifold. Manifold shared the news during a meeting with Gwinnett’s state lawmakers, where elections and public safety took center stage. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson emphasized collaboration: “When local and state leaders work together, we serve our residents better.” On the safety side, Police Chief J.D. McClure highlighted staffing gains and a futuristic twist—drones as “first eyes” on crime scenes. Progress, but challenges remain. STORY 2: Brookwood High selected to participate in the GaDOE Gifted in Action series Brookwood High just got a big nod from the Georgia Department of Education—it’s been featured in the GaDOE Gifted in Action series, a webinar collection for educators working with gifted and talented students. Eric Rovie’s AP Literature and Language classes were in the spotlight, with the GaDOE team recording his students in action. Rovie’s approach? Open discussions, tough questions, and a classroom built on trust. Gifted education isn’t just about acceleration, says Dr. Keena Ryals-Jenkins of GCPS—it’s about sparking curiosity and pushing boundaries. STORY 3: Gwinnett Chamber announces 2025 Business Excellence Award winners The Gwinnett Chamber’s Business Excellence Awards lit up the John Maxwell Leadership Center last week, celebrating the movers, shakers, and innovators shaping Gwinnett’s business scene.

Masino summed it up: “When our businesses thrive, so does our region.” Winners spanned 10 categories, from Spectrum Autism Support Group (Community Contributor) to iS3 Tech Services’ Adam Hammock (Founder Award).

STORY 5: ART BEAT: Players Guild at Sugar Hill to stage 'The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' Looking for a darkly funny way to kick off the new year? *The Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder* hits Sugar Hill’s Eagle Theatre stage Feb. 6–15, promising six performances of murder, mayhem, and music. The story? Monty Navarro, a broke clerk, discovers he’s ninth in line to inherit a fancy title and fortune. His solution? Start “removing” the D’Ysquith family members ahead of him. It’s twisted, hilarious, and based on the 1907 novel *Israel Rank*. JD Touchton stars as Monty, marking his first musical role in four years. Tickets? Boxoffice@pgatsh.com.

Not a marathon, not two, but *four*. The 2025 Mill Creek grad and Georgia Tech freshman had always pushed himself, running cross country in high school and now with Georgia Tech’s club team. But this? This was next level. “It’s a big jump,” he admitted. “With my foot surgery coming up, I figured this might be my last shot.” But Holden didn’t just run for himself. He ran for Molly Kate Cloer, the little sister of his high school teammate Tyler, who has Williams Syndrome. Inspired by their family, he turned his grueling goal into a fundraiser, raising over $8,000 for the cause. The run itself? Brutal. By mile 60, his injured foot was screaming. By mile 80, the park closed, forcing him to finish in a church parking lot. Every step hurt. But his parents, old teammates, and even strangers showed up to cheer him on, some running alongside him. After 25 hours, 33 minutes, and 32 seconds, Holden crossed the finish line—exhausted, in pain, but surrounded by love. STORY 7: Northside Hospital Gwinnett named one of nation's best for maternity care Northside Hospital Gwinnett just got some big news—it’s officially one of the best places in the country to have a baby, according to *U.S. News & World Report*. The hospital earned a “High Performing” rating for maternity care, putting it in the top 10% nationwide for uncomplicated pregnancies. Pretty impressive, right? Last year alone, they delivered 4,245 babies. Northside Gwinnett also scored high marks in 15 other areas, from heart surgery to stroke care. When you’re here, you’re family.

From Fear to Freedom: Joe Mittiga on Inner Mastery, Leadership & Living for LegacyIn this episode, I sit down with Joe Mittiga — founder of Project Smile, founder of Avion Energy, author, and speaker — for a powerful conversation on inner mastery, conscious leadership, and what truly holds high performers back from their next level.Joe's journey spans addiction recovery, authorship, global speaking, and a life-changing TEDx experience in South Africa that led to the creation of Project Smile. With decades of experience working with entrepreneurs, C-suite leaders, and teams, Joe brings uncommon depth and clarity to the internal work behind sustainable success.Rather than chasing surface-level performance, Joe challenges leaders to confront fear, listen to their inner dialogue, and build lives and businesses rooted in alignment, respect, and purpose.We cover:The pivotal moment that reshaped Joe's life and leadership pathWhy fear — not effort or talent — is the real glass ceilingThe difference between external success and internal freedomHow limiting beliefs quietly cap income, impact, and fulfillmentPractical ways to begin inner work (starting with pen and paper)Inner mastery and its role in conscious leadershipWhy respect matters more than likability in leadershipBurnout, performance anxiety, and why self-care is a leadership responsibilitySmall internal shifts that create massive external resultsProject Smile's mission to bring education and opportunity to underserved communities worldwideLiving for legacy instead of achievement alone

Send us a textIf you've ever watched someone less skilled get chosen over you, this episode will change how you play the game. We're unpacking why “great work” doesn't automatically create opportunity, and what actually does.

There's something rare about a conversation that reminds you not just what's possible in business, but what should be possible. On the latest episode of Left Standing, Susanna Barkataki — founder of Ignite Institute and Yoke Yoga, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and social justice educator — shares how she's built a business that balances abundance with integrity.“I do think how you define success and constantly reevaluating what that success looks like… you can have a super values-aligned business practice and be successful,” Susanna says. “My goal initially was just to replace my teaching salary… But then the possibilities for abundance surprised me, and the question became: What do I do with that abundance?”For Susanna, success isn't a number on a spreadsheet — it's a moral and spiritual question. She's committed to changing the face of yoga. “If people of color, queer folks, trans folks, different abilities aren't seeing themselves as yoga teachers… it's hard to imagine it. So I make programs that make that possible.”We also discuss practical frameworks for building a business with heart: listen to the market, anchor your offerings, and don't discount yourself. And when it comes to scaling ethically? Teamwork is essential. Susanna shares the importance of investing in people: “My best investments are in my team. Having a tech VA, social media manager… I could not have gone as far as I've gone without the right people.”Susanna's approach is a masterclass in aligning purpose with profit — proving that you can build a thriving business while staying true to your values.Listen to the full episode of Left Standing to hear Susanna's story, her insights on defining success on your own terms, and her advice for anyone trying to create impact without compromise.About Susanna Berkataki: Susanna Berkataki is the founder of Ignite and Yoke Yoga, bestselling author of Ignite Your Yoga and Embrace Yoga's Roots, a TEDx speaker, and an advocate for social justice through yoga. Her work integrates spirituality, psychology, and community-based healing, helping people and organizations thrive ethically and sustainably. This is a public episode.

In this episode of 10X Growth Strategies, host Saradha Sriram sits down with John Boccuzzi — author of The Art of Seducing Your Customers and President of Research at ISG — to unpack why the best businesses don't sell harder, they build emotional connection, trust, and clarity. Drawing from decades of research and real-world experience, John reframes sales and customer experience through an unconventional but powerful lens: seduction over manipulation. From the origins of his TEDx talk to stories spanning Uber, Kodak, UPS, and Zappos, he explains how storytelling, friction reduction, and employee empowerment quietly separate companies that retain customers for decades from those that lose them overnight. A sharp, experience-backed conversation on why sales is a job of rejection, why cost-cutting often destroys customer experience, and how leaders can immediately diagnose friction inside their own organizations. ⸻ ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – 00:45 • Intro 00:45 – 01:30 • Saradha introduces John Boccuzzi & his work 01:30 – 02:40 • Why “Seduction” — The TEDx origin behind the book's title 02:40 – 04:30 • The Frame Store Story — Confidence, storytelling & 27 years of loyalty 04:30 – 05:50 • Seduction vs Manipulation — Emotional appeal, trust & value creation 05:50 – 08:35 • Sales Is Dating — Listening, timing & relationship-building 08:35 – 10:40 • The Seduction Framework — Empowering employees & retention-first design 10:40 – 12:25 • Friction Hunting — How Uber exposed broken customer experiences 12:25 – 13:45 • Operational Insight — UPS, right-hand turns & invisible efficiency 13:45 – 14:45 • Kodak's Failure — Fear, disruption & missed opportunity 14:45 – 16:15 • Hiring the Wrong Way — Jobs vs careers & the EQ gap 16:15 – 17:25 • The Cost-Cutting Trap — Why CX isn't a savings exercise 17:25 – 18:55 • Handling Rejection — Knowing when to walk away 18:55 – 20:00 • Storytelling That Endures — The Budweiser Super Bowl lesson 20:00 – 21:40 • B2B vs B2C — Why customer principles don't change 21:40 – 23:45 • Losing $300M Deals — The 500-page contract mistake 23:45 – 25:40 • Immediate Action — Running a friction audit 25:40 – 26:55 • The Missing Chapter — AI & the future of customer experience 26:55 – 28:45 • What's Next — Keynotes, research & closing thoughts

What if the image you're projecting is “perfect,” but the identity underneath is even better?   Celeste Moore teaches people how to align their external presentation with their authentic self.    But she only learned how to do this after decades of performing identities that weren't hers.    From childhood trauma to toxic relationships to living a double life, Celeste survived by becoming whoever she thought she needed to be.   This episode is about the journey from performance to presence:  

Today, we're joined by Tricia Maia, Head of Product at TED. We all know TED Talks — but behind the scenes, TED is undergoing a massive product transformation to adapt to a post-AI media landscape.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Philip Goff—a philosophy professor who devotes much of his work to investigating the ultimate nature of reality—about consciousness, mysticism, and God. We also hear from Rabbi Eli Rubin about the possibility of “Jewish panpsychism.”In this episode we discuss:What is the relationship between consciousness and scientific observation?How should people find purpose in their lives?How does a secular philosopher make the decision to turn to religion?Tune in to hear a conversation about whether mysticism has scientific credibility. Interview begins at 9:22.Philip Goff is a philosophy professor at Durham University, UK, where he devotes much of his work to investigating the ultimate nature of reality. He publishes weekly interviews and articles on his Substack. Goff is known for defending panpsychism as the best available theory of consciousness; his TEDx talk, "Is there consciousness beyond the brain?" presents this view to a wider audience. His recent book, Why? The Purpose of the Universe (Oxford University Press, 2023), explores panpsychism as a middle ground between traditional belief in God and secular atheism. He is a recent convert to a form of “heretical Christianity".References:Kabbalah and the Rupture of Modernity by Eli RubinGalileo's Error by Philip GoffMy Bright Abyss by Christian WimanThe Varieties of Religious Experience by William JamesGödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas R.

As we move closer to a new "one year" numerologically, we're wrapping up a nine-year cycle and stepping into an entirely new chapter. Think of it like a beautiful, untouched journal — blank pages waiting for your desires, clarity, and higher guidance to write what comes next. This week, I sat down with Isabeau Maxwell, an unexpected medium who went from total skeptic to becoming one of today's most respected mediums and teachers. We went into the real stuff like grief, fear, permission, and the subtle moment that opened her fully to the spirit world.  A few spotlight moments I think you'll love: • What actually happened the night her grandmother's spirit showed up • How to stop outsourcing your energy (a big theme she says is coming in 2026–2027) • Why giving yourself permission — to feel, know, trust — is the doorway to intuition • The rising need for community and more feminine energy in this next phase of awakening Enjoy this conversation with Isabeau! Takeaways Isabeau transitioned from a skeptic to an intuitive after a profound experience with her grandmother's spirit. The importance of context in overcoming fear related to spiritual experiences. Crossing over work is heart-to-heart and fulfilling, helping souls transition to the light. The year 2026 will see a shift towards individuals generating their own energy rather than being influenced by external factors. The balance of masculine and feminine energies is crucial for growth and community. Spiritual awakening is a collective experience that invites personal change and growth. The pendulum of change signifies a shift from individualism to community focus. Compassion is essential in helping souls cross over and understanding their journey. The upcoming years will bring new ways of manifesting and connecting with others energetically. Authenticity and self-permission are key to personal happiness and spiritual growth.   About Isabeau Maxwell Isabeau "Beau" Maxwell is an internationally recognized medium, spiritual teacher, and founder of The SAGE Method, an award-winning intuitive development program. Author of the bestselling Cracking Open, she has guided thousands in awakening their natural intuitive abilities. Known for her clarity, compassion, and accuracy, Isabeau bridges the spiritual and the practical, offering grounded, accessible guidance for anyone seeking to deepen their intuition and connection to the spirit world.   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.

As project managers, we spend a lot of time talking about tools, processes, and delivery frameworks—but far less time talking about the invisible structure that holds projects together: trust. In this Top Shelf Replay episode of Project Management Happy Hour, Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson revisit one of the show's earliest and most enduring concepts: Trust Bricks. Originally recorded in 2018, this short but powerful episode explores how trust is built—not through grand gestures or heroic saves—but through consistent, everyday actions that compound over time. The core idea is simple: trust is predictability. When you repeatedly do what you say you'll do—whether that's sending meeting notes on time, honoring estimates, or showing up prepared—you lay one small Trust Brick at a time. Over weeks, months, and years, those bricks form a structure strong enough to withstand missed deadlines, bad news, or the occasional broken promise. Kim and Kate break down why Trust Bricks matter so much in project environments: Teams are more honest with you when they trust you Estimates improve when people believe they won't be punished for telling the truth Difficult conversations become easier when everyone believes you're on the same side Sponsors give you more latitude when your track record is consistent The conversation also explores what happens when trust breaks—and how the same Trust Brick approach can be used to rebuild credibility. Rather than trying to restore trust with a single "big win," the hosts argue that rebuilding starts small: partial deliverables, frequent check-ins, and deliberately meeting micro-commitments until confidence is restored. In the replay commentary, Kim and Kate reflect on how their thinking has evolved since the original recording. They discuss: The role of showing up consistently, even when no explicit promise was made How trust operates differently in virtual and remote teams Why strong performers can accidentally set expectations that lead to burnout How leaders vary widely in how much "trust damage" they tolerate before overreacting The episode also revisits the journey of Trust Bricks beyond the podcast, including Kim's experience delivering a TEDx talk on the topic and refining the framework into three enduring lessons: You are always building or breaking Trust Bricks—whether you realize it or not Missed expectations don't pause trust building; they actively tear it down Unspoken expectations are the fastest way to accidentally destroy trust This episode is a reminder that trust isn't soft, vague, or optional—it's a core delivery skill. If you want stakeholders who back you, teams who tell you the truth, and projects that don't require constant firefighting, it starts with sweating the small commitments. The next time you make a commitment—big or small—ask yourself: Am I laying a brick… or cracking one?

Why do the smallest disagreements with loved ones sometimes feel like the fiercest battles? Conflict in relationships often spirals into unproductive cycles of attack and defense, leaving us stuck, misunderstood, and further apart from the connection we crave. We rush to defend, strategize, and fix—yet rarely pause long enough to truly understand what matters beneath the surface. In this episode, listeners are invited to explore powerful strategies for breaking the cycle of reactivity and shifting attention toward curiosity, clarity, and genuine understanding. Through personal stories, actionable principles, and practical guidance, the conversation uncovers how paying attention to our underlying needs, emotions, interests, and habitual responses can foster a more constructive, compassionate, and collaborative approach to navigating conflict. By learning to differentiate between strategies and the needs they serve, listeners gain the tools to create meaningful change, deepen intimacy, and transform even the stickiest conflicts into opportunities for growth. Dana Caspersen is a conflict engagement specialist, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and award-winning performing artist. She works with individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide as a trainer, coach, consultant, and dialogue designer. Drawing on the knowledge and insight gained from her experience as a mediator and conflict analyst and her 40-year career as a performing arts innovator, Dana empowers people and organizations to navigate complex and challenging situations. Conflict Is an Opportunity is her newest book.   Episode Highlights 04:22 How our bodies react and impact communication. 09:25 Moving from attack-defense to understanding in conflict. 13:22 The impact of unmet needs in relationship conflict. 14:22 Distinguishing needs, emotions, interests, and strategies. 18:16 Creating a supportive relationship culture for navigating conflict. 23:15 The importance of internal clarification before addressing issues. 24:50 Practicing curiosity and validation during difficult interactions. 28:35 Managing communication triggers and acknowledging emotions. 33:32 Intentional connection and embodied curiosity in conflict resolution. 36:07 Safety, attachment, and speaking from interests instead of vulnerabilities. 38:06 Conscious decision-making and the role of requests in conflict. 42:46 Applying conflict skills across all relationships and areas of life.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Before addressing conflict, take a moment to breathe, relax, and bring your attention inward so you can respond rather than react. Pay attention to your body's stress signals—like a tight neck or jaw—and consciously shift to a more open, relaxed posture to support curiosity and connection. Redirect your attention away from attack and defense; instead, get genuinely curious about what your partner is feeling and what matters to them. Start conversations by acknowledging your partner's feelings and concerns to disarm defensiveness and open up constructive dialogue. Recognize that requests or strategies (like asking your partner to be home by 8) often mask deeper needs (such as intimacy or security), and talk about those underlying needs instead. Approach your partner with open-ended requests rather than demands, creating space for true dialogue and collaboration. Use your emotions as a clue to uncover your real needs and interests, then express those clearly and kindly to your partner. Expect that conflict will arise and discuss with your partner how you'll address it—having a shared mindset helps you get back on track when things get heated.   Mentioned Conflict Is an Opportunity (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Changing the Conversation: The 17 Principles of Conflict Resolution (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Conflict is a place of possibility (TedX Talks) (YouTube link) (video) Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are (TED) (YouTube link) (video) Gottman Institute Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (*Psychology Today) (link) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Dana Caspersen Website: danacaspersen.com Facebook: facebook.com/DanaCaspersen Instagram: instagram.com/dcaspersen LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dana-caspersen

This week's interview with the cofounders of SheWrites.com, Kamy Wicoff and Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, is especially touching for Brooke because these two women are where it all started. This week's interview is about why community matters as told through the histories and sensibilities of two community champions who started something that lit the literary world on fire in 2009. SheWrites back then was a little bit like Substack is today, but with small breakout groups and a lot of meet-ups happening in the real world. The feminist sensibility of SheWrites was what drew Brooke to the platform, and to Kamy and Deborah in those early days when she was a Senior and then Executive Editor at Seal Press—and this origin story is both a walk down memory lane and an inspiring episode on the enduring power of community. Kamy Wicoff is a writer, former publisher, and psychotherapist with a degree in social work. Kamy holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia and is the author of several books, including the novel Wishful Thinking and the nonfiction book I Do But I Don't: Why the Way We Marry Matters, and has contributed to multiple anthologies, most recently Feminists Reclaim Mentorship: An Anthology. Kamy is the cofounder of She Writes Press. She serves as a trustee on the board of the Brooklyn Public Library and lives with her husband and their four sons in Brooklyn. Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, PhD is a Visiting Scholar in Gender & Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University and the author of Sisterhood, Interrupted and co-editor of the literary anthology Only Child. She is a regular on Chicago's “live lit” storytelling stages. Deborah's essay “My Husband, the Reluctant Barista” just appeared this past October in the Modern Love column at The New York Times. Her op-eds and essays on gender, motherhood, family, feminism, and writing have appeared in Slate, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and elsewhere. She's a TEDx speaker, a longtime coach and champion of writers, and her coaching company, Girl Meets Voice, Inc., has supported hundreds of established and emerging writers. Together, they cofounded SheWrites.com in 2009. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is hands down one of the most powerful exercises I have ever done, and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. In this week's episode, I'm sharing a video that is inside of my Next level program. This is an exercise where I walk my clients through the exact future self exercise that helped me move through fear, apply for my TEDx, and actually do the thing I kept telling myself I wasn't capable of. Not someday. Not years later. Immediately. This is not mindset fluff. This is a psychotherapy-based visualisation and embodiment exercise that allows you to access the version of you who has already done the thing you're scared of. Inside this episode, you'll experience: • Why your future self already lives inside you • How fear and desire can exist at the same time • The exact exercise I was guided through before my TEDx • How to receive clarity and guidance from future you • What action to take today to meet her sooner By the end of this sneak peek episode, you won't just be thinking about your future self, you will have met her, heard her, and received direction from her. Do this exercise properly. Suspend disbelief. Let it be powerful. If you do it, DM me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence and tell me what came through for you.
