028: The Future Of Leadership Is In Our Youth with Erin Faehrmann

April 12, 2021 21:00 - 45 minutes - 61.8 MB

Every generation has its own struggles. The sad reality is that older generations often struggle to understand and relate to the issues plaguing today's young adults and soon-to-be adults. Additionally, these problems are completely different from how it was a decade ago. Of course, they may differ depending on who you ask, but it's clear that something needs to be done. The rise in social media use has also contributed to a change in how our young generations learn, consume information and...

027: Leadership In Retail with Alison Crabb

April 05, 2021 21:00 - 34 minutes - 47.3 MB

Not many industries are as people-intensive as the retail industry. Even with the pandemic giving birth to contact-less transactions, there is still constant interaction between the store manager, store employees, and the customers.  Leaders in the retail space were already being seriously challenged before the pandemic hit.

026: Starting, Managing & Scaling Multiple Businesses with Simone Douglas

March 29, 2021 21:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

To succeed in today’s highly competitive business world, you need to be flexible and have exceptional planning and organizational skills. Unfortunately, many people start a business thinking that they’ll instantly be successful, only to find that running a business is much more than putting in the hours. The dedication, creativity, and even luck required to make a business successful can demoralize even the most inspired entrepreneurs.   If starting one business is all that, what happens wh...

025: Healing In A Busy World Takes A Spark Of Consciousness with Jared Schuster

March 22, 2021 22:00 - 29 minutes - 40.8 MB

Breaking a bone or experiencing a severe cold can make life a little unbearable. Fortunately, a doctor's appointment later, you're practically good to go. However, with spiritual matters, it gets a little complicated than that. Firstly, most of us don't even acknowledge that we're hurting, which makes seeking help even harder. This is mostly because spiritual and mental health issues are often shamed and ridiculed.    Deep down, we all know we aren't immune to life's lemons. Thus, whenever...

024: Happy Healthy Workplaces with Rosie Bartlett

March 15, 2021 22:00 - 35 minutes - 49.4 MB

Every year, we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month and Self-Care Day, yet it takes tragedies before people can talk about mental health. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding mental health issues means that millions of people worldwide suffer in silence due to the fear of being shamed. The pandemic might have highlighted the need to have meaningful discussions about mental health, but there is still more to be done. With this in mind, leaders need to adopt a new leadership style whe...

March 08, 2021 21:00 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MB

Have you ever asked yourself what the more successful companies do differently that makes them so successful? Is it their market understanding, their customer focus, or maybe a visionary growth strategy? Yes, all these factors can play a part in a company’s fortunes, but one thing makes all the difference. We know that they don’t develop innovative ideas by a stroke of good luck because luck is not guaranteed.  The one thing that makes them win consistently and attract the best talent is ...

019: Put Funny In, Get Funny Out with Kate Burr

November 23, 2020 21:00 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MB

In a world full of anxiety and stress, leaders are increasingly short of options for boosting work engagement. The interesting part, however, is that these leaders are ignoring one of the most underutilized and undervalued tools to boost office engagement- humor. As a stress buster, most psychologists believe that humor is the opposite of stress. An important thing to note is that humor is not primarily used as an office stress reliever but as an engagement tool.   Using your sense of humor...

018: Mastering Your Mindset and Emotions with Tony Loyd

November 16, 2020 21:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB

In an already uniquely stressful year, many people are trying to redefine the word normal to fit their current situations. Although some people find themselves struggling with their emotions and channeling their energy to more meaningful objectives, others are already creating opportunities for themselves.  The fact of the matter is that not everybody can be great, but everybody can make an impact. That idea that everybody thinks is crazy has every chance of being the next big thing. It doe...

017: From AwareLESS to AwareNESS with Noa Ronen

November 09, 2020 22:30 - 49 minutes - 68.5 MB

Moving, on its own, is a daunting task. Moving because of work takes the stress and doubles it. However, moving to another continent is a whole different ball game altogether. So, when Noa Ronen moved from Israel to the U.S, she thought things would remain the same. Little did she know that adapting to a different culture and professional atmosphere would not be as easy as she had imagined.   Other than the physically tiring activities associated with moving, most people overlook the psych...

November 02, 2020 21:00 - 27 minutes - 37.3 MB

From growing up in a circus, to building a multi million dollar property portfolio, some jail time and now training for an ultramarathon.

Well, not high. When the going got tough, Oliver got focused on what he did want. Society has been known to frown upon ex-offende...

015: Bringing Coaching As A Tool In Your Leadership with Stacey Ashley

October 26, 2020 21:00 - 29 minutes - 40.2 MB

A leader might possess the technical know-how, knowledge, and resources to achieve managerial success, but does that make him/her a great leader?  A Big, No!  The one desirable trait you as a leader should possess is the ability to coach your team. You know why? Because when executed correctly, coaching inspires your team members to be self-reliant, discover new things, and have the willingness to perform tasks on their own. The difference between coaching and management comes down to foc...

014: What Great Managers Do Differently with Ralph Petersen

October 19, 2020 21:00 - 44 minutes - 61.4 MB

Finding, developing, and retaining terrific team members is hard, but finding and retaining exceptional managers is even more challenging. While most positions within an organization are tasked with a particular set of responsibilities based on experience and skills, managers are charged with vast and complex duties. In recent times, both employers and employees have come to expect managers to keep up with the industry management trends, run a successful team, and still get work done.    A...

013: Being Seen As A Leader with Jane Anderson

October 12, 2020 21:00 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MB

Although thought leadership has been around for quite some time, not many people can completely decipher what it is and how best to utilize it. A thought leader uses his/her expertise to offer unique guidance, influence others, and inspire innovation.  Thought leadership can sometimes have more return on investments than any other marketing strategy. This is because thought leadership changes your company’s brand perception and potential customers start seeing you for the industry specialis...

September 28, 2020 22:30 - 40 minutes - 46.4 MB

Networking is not all about exchanging information but mainly functions as a medium for creating long-term relationships with mutual gains.

008: Vulnerability Is An Essential Leadership Skill with Michelle Holland

September 07, 2020 22:30 - 1 hour - 85.9 MB

In the corporate world, vulnerability is typically perceived as a weakness. By its definition alone, vulnerability seems not to fit in the same sentence with leadership. If you are honest with yourself, there are moments where you feel vulnerable. Leaders are no different; just like you and me, they also need to express their emotions. However, society has come to expect people in leadership to ooze with confidence and never show their weakness. This is where we go wrong.   A leader who und...

One of the most challenging skills you can ever acquire is knowing when to quit and when to keep going. Often, things don’t go according to plan. We are all bound to mess up sometime. However, how we deal with our failures is what ultimately defines who we are. Failing will most likely hurt; sometimes a lot. There’s nothing wrong with that.

July 06, 2020 20:45 - 39 minutes - 54.5 MB

There is nothing as mysterious yet so powerful as our beliefs. Beliefs tend to have the power to dictate the trajectory of our lives, emotions, and actions. Acquired throughout the course of our lives, beliefs are filters on a lens over which we view life. They determine your priorities, your focus, and how you face your daily struggles. At times you might be completely oblivious of the power beliefs have on you that you hardly ever notice they exist. Our minds work in such a way that what...
