Making Space for Conversations That Matter with Laura Prisc
108 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratingsI believe we are all longing for deeper connection with the people in our lives. We crave acknowledgment that what we do makes an impact. That who we are matters. And I’m tired of the superficial, shallow interactions that permeate most relationships. So, I am stepping off the well-beaten path to create the space to listen and explore.
By “creating the space” I mean blocking out some uninterrupted time and choosing to be fully present with someone to engage in a meaningful conversation.
Through Making Space for Conversations that Matter, I’ll intentionally engage in those conversations and I invite you to join me.
Together, we’ll take the time to explore and discover the brilliance, creativity, and wisdom of my guests through real, honest, and heartfelt conversation about what matters most and how they’re pursuing purpose in their lives.
If you’re longing for authenticity, deep meaning, significance, and powerful connection with others, this Podcast is for you!

May 25, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 19.3 MBRecently, I was facilitating a workshop for some middle managers in a health facility when something I suspected was reinforced in a powerful way… In fact, as I reflect on the conversation as it unfolded, there was definitely an undertone of anger and hostility.

Be a Conscious Leader – Create Your WHOLE Life Plan EP 95
April 27, 2021 09:00 - 18 minutes - 27 MBWhen I think about leadership, it’s clear to me that I need to lead myself first before I can hope to influence and lead others. Part of leading myself first means being awake enough to know that I’m the causative force in my life. What I’m experiencing is the direct result of my best thinking, decisions, actions, and behaviors before today. For years, decades even, there was a lot of talk of ‘work-life balance.’ Personally, I think it’s a bunch of hooey! By simply thinking about the nu...

April 06, 2021 09:00 - 49 minutes - 69.2 MBBegin with the end in mind. This is sage advice: Discern what it is you are trying to create. Cast a vision and articulate it clearly.

Art is Experience: An Exchange of Energy and Ideas Between Artist and Viewer EP 91
March 30, 2021 09:00 - 37 minutes - 53 MBFor Laura McRae Hitchcock, art is a shared experience. The artist begins with a blank canvas (whatever that material or medium might be) and pulls in his or her creativity to create something from nothing. “It’s all energy,” she explains. “I use my whole body when I paint, and my paintings are infused with my energy.” And if you had a sneak peek into her studio as she’s preparing canvases, you’d see she’s also infusing them with prayers for the viewers – and eventual owners – of her painti...

February 16, 2021 10:00 - 55 minutes - 78.2 MBWe don’t always know whom we are meant to be when we are young, but if we are observant, there are clues everywhere. For Libby Scheele, they were obvious in her fascination with color and texture and a variety of materials that could be used in artistic endeavors.

We are Called to Love with Edwin Gungor EP: 83
February 02, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 66 MBIsn’t it interesting that, often in our younger years, we feel as if we should be able to “Win the World in a Weekend!” Many of us get caught in the thinking that we have to really make a difference, make our lives count, and so we work, work work. Becoming workaholics, we disguise it as “passion,” and neglect or take for granted the things and people who really matter most. If we are fortunate, and paying attention, as we grow and experience new things, we come to understand there’s more...

Changing the World, One Coffee, One Cocktail, One Taco at a Time EP 78
December 29, 2020 10:00 - 47 minutes - 66.6 MBOne would think that wanting to offer solutions one’s client actually needs – rather than what the business thinks they should have – is the way business works, but we all know that’s not necessarily the case.

December 08, 2020 10:00 - 50 minutes - 71.5 MBWe’ve all heard of work-life balance, and it’s the thing we are supposedly longing to attain.

Make Better Hiring Decisions by Understanding Motivation EP 74
December 01, 2020 10:00 - 49 minutes - 69.8 MBFor decades, companies large and small, near and far have been using behavioral-based interviewing processes when seeking to fill positions. The results have been great, good, and sometimes simply awful!

Destiny Quinn has been on the hiring end of this equation for many years –...

November 24, 2020 10:00 - 46 minutes - 66.2 MBOne might imagine significant differences in how people learn across different global cultures.

November 17, 2020 10:00 - 44 minutes - 65.8 MB“Fundamentally, we are sense-makers… looking for patterns in what’s going on… which we use to create our models of the world,” Marc explains, as he and Laura jump into a conversation about the lenses we use to view and experience the world through.

Paraliminals are digital recordings that allow li...

October 27, 2020 09:00 - 38 minutes - 56.7 MBAs we grow in our careers and expertise, we develop certain behavioral patterns and routines and come to rely on certain skills we've invested a lot in developing because they've served us well -- in a number of situations over a number of years... and then one day, not only do they not only NOT work, they've actually become destructive! Making it worse is our inability to recognize what it is that's causing us to stumble. We often make assumptions about how others are experiencing us...

October 20, 2020 09:00 - 21 minutes - 34.5 MBToday’s episode is a reading of this previously published article, by the author and your host, Laura Prisc. Following is the text, although Laura may have strayed from it a time or two in the recording! Leave a comment and let her know what you think… Sticks and stones may break my bones, but the long-term impact of that is likely far less significant than that from the words we use against each other! Yes, I’ve taken some liberties with that old childhood chant, devised by some well-me...

Exploring Medicine Through a Different Approach EP 66
October 06, 2020 09:00 - 50 minutes - 73.3 MBAlyse Snyder is one of those people we hear about who knew from a very young age what she wanted to do when she grew up; she felt called to healing, medicine, and helping others.

Along the way, they discovered Acupuncture, which provided amazing outcomes – both emotionally and physically – ...

September 29, 2020 09:00 - 35 minutes - 53.5 MB“We walk through life together with people who’ve been dealt a difficult hand,” explained Dan Fowler. It was such a simple thing, so humbly stated, it stopped podcast host, Laura, in her tracks!

September 01, 2020 16:00 - 47 minutes - 69 MBI haven’t met a person yet who hasn’t had some kind of struggle with developing and sustaining healthy eating practices, and Ricki Heller is no exception. As she describes it, she grew up with the ultimate junk food diet – TV dinners, mac & cheese, and lots of baked goods. Which was fun until it wasn’t! Eventually, she developed Candida, which is an overgrowth of a naturally occurring yeast we all have in our bodies. At normal levels, this is ok… overgrowth, however, can make you very, ver...
Perfectionism, the Inner Critic, and Breaking Through EP 60
August 25, 2020 09:00 - 47 minutes - 67.7 MBDo you recognize this person?

August 18, 2020 09:00 - 47 minutes - 66.6 MBDiscovering your “superpower” and finding your perfect niche – that sweet spot where you get to do really good work and have a lot of fun doing it – is often an iterative process. We try, learn, shift, learn some more… and along the way we narrow, redefine, explore, and discover what we’re good at and what we enjoy doing. At least if we are in the process of exploring and seeking. And that’s what happened for Jen Liddy. Born curious, she loved learning. The first in her family to attend co...

August 11, 2020 09:00 - 43 minutes - 62.1 MBIt’s inevitable; no one of us is immune to this experience. At some point, our lives will be turned completely upside down… sometimes because of a decision we made or an action we took and sometimes due to circumstances beyond our control.

Maria has experienced a few upheavals in her life and today she shares some of what she’s learned thr...

August 04, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 68.3 MBIf you’ve not heard the term, “Headtrash,” before… you’ll recognize it as “stinkin’ thinkin’” or the voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough, not able, not worth it… what have you.

It’s the stuff that keeps us smaller than we are meant to be, and from taking risks, exploring new things, and going on adventures. Jon jokingly says, “If you’re going to make excuses, as ...

July 28, 2020 09:00 - 45 minutes - 64.7 MBThe term “Mastermind” is used in a lot of different ways by a lot of different people, which makes it hard to know what someone really means when they say it.

Dave references Napoleon Hill’s work, from Think and Grow Rich, which says that a mastermind is a coordinated effort toward a definite purpose; a group of like-minded ...

July 21, 2020 09:00 - 41 minutes - 58.4 MBIt’s been many years ago, but once upon a time, Sherrie Dunlevy had a baby boy named Brandon. He lived just 29 days. “He made a greater impact on so many lives in just 29 days than some have in a lifetime,” she explains. The aftermath of Brandon’s passing was unexpected in so many ways. Lifelong friends vanished. People they would never have imagined would, showed up. Instead of allowing herself to get caught up in the obvious question of “Why did this happen to us, to me?” Sherrie moved o...
