  • Women in Leadership & International Networking with Kristin Engvig (Part II)
    In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge engages in a compelling conversation with Kristin Engvig. They discuss self-assessment, the importance of holistic self-evaluation, and legacy leadership. They delve into empowering less privileged women, fostering reciprocal relationships, and the role of women in shaping sustainable futures. The episode concludes with Roxanne sharing her personal journey and passion for empowering others.

    Quote: "I think if all women all over the world would become aware enough and strong enough to say NO to what’s unacceptable immediately, the world would change." Kristin Engvig

    This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yau9ooE2W8c

    We have all heard of "the glass ceiling" and how it can affect women in business. It's a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic (typically applied to women) from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. But what about women who have made it to the boardroom or are currently in leadership roles? How far have we come, and how have our predecessors paved the way for us? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we're thrilled to welcome International Networking Expert Kristin Engvig. Kristin joins us to share her leadership journey and discuss how she created the Global Women's International Networking Conference! This year it's in Rome on September 20-24, 2022, and I am thrilled to be speaking there!

    Kristin is a pioneer and thought leader in the field of creativity, feminine and authentic leadership. She embraces global responsibility through innovative leadership events and personal speaking engagements to inspire women worldwide to become agents of possibility. She was granted the CEO For Life award and the Best Practice Leader award in 2021 and is part of the Diversity Global Magazine's Top 10 Influential Women in Global Diversity. She also won the International Alliance of Women Award in 2010.

  • Seeking Trust in Leadership Through Music Part II with Miha Pogačnik
    In this episode, Roxanne speaks with Miha Pogačnik, who shares his unique approach to leadership using classical music. They discuss how music mirrors corporate dynamics, transforms communication, and helps recognize qualities. Miha relates his experiences in Barcelona and discusses the relationship between art and nature. The conversation wraps up with a focus on authentic leadership and building trust within organizations.

    Quote: “It’s important to know that when you are really connected with what you want to do, you are in another sphere of life. You are in your highest possible expression which fills you with a special kind of joy and purpose.” Miha Pogačnik

    Music means so much to so many. It has the power to lift us up, create a feeling, relive a memory, inspire, and so much more. But have you ever used music as a business tool? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Social “Artivist” Miha Pogačnik to share his ideas and processes to find trust in leadership through music and the arts.

    Violin virtuoso Miha Pogačnik (Po-gah-chnik) is a Cultural Entrepreneur and Ambassador of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. He is perhaps best known for using his violin in organic and disruptive ways to reposition the impact of the Arts in society and connect Disciplines, Cultures and Generations. At the crossroads of Economy, Politics and Culture, he is the founder of Ecoculture, NGO Gandin Foundation and IDRIART. With his initiative Terra Parzival in his homeland Slovenia, he envisions a new prototype of society with Social Art at its core.

    Many of us take for granted the liberties and freedom to choose that we have been accustomed to all our lives. In other parts of the world, people may not have been so fortunate. There are many countries where women are prohibited to work or are very limited in the opportunities available. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome International HR Expert Kelly Blackaby to share her experiences about the changes that are happening in the Middle East and how women in leadership roles are becoming more prevalent.

  • Leadership Lessons Through Serving Others with Lori Lococo
    In this episode, Roxanne chats with Lori Lococo about her journey from Toastmasters to the City Council. They discuss the importance of authentic heart leadership, self-awareness, and diversity in decision-making. They also explore Lori's commitment to community service and her experiences with diversity and inclusion in Niagara.

    Quote: “I am an empathetic leader, and I do lead with my heart, but a lot of things are very factual and statistic-based, so I have to balance both of those things.” Lori Lococo

    What is your leadership style? Are you a very fact and process-based leader or are you more driven by your heart and feel a connection to those you lead? Both are important traits, but in today’s work climate, you really do need to have a good relationship with your team in order to succeed. Working to create a bond not only helps to put your people on a productive path but also helps you retain your best and brightest stars. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Lori Lococo to talk about her leadership experience and how those skills and lessons have assisted her in serving others.

    Lori is a current Niagara Falls City Councillor. She is seeking re-election in the October municipal election. Lori has worked for over 25 years in Niagara’s legal community, 14 years as the Administrator of a large firm. Lori has also worked for Census Canada in 2016 and 2021 and as a Court Reporter for the Ministry of the Attorney General.

  • How to Find the Secret Gift of Introverts with Jon Baker
    In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge engages with Jon Baker on his journey in specializing in introversion's impact on productivity. They discuss the role of leadership in establishing communication styles, the importance of creating space for introverts, and how leaders can better understand their own values to positively impact company culture. Baker also shares strategies for engaging introverts and a case study illustrating the fallout of ignoring introverts in the workspace.

    Quote: “Can introverts sell? Yes, because they’re very good at listening and asking all the right questions.”Jon Baker

    Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Is that something you have even thought about? Are you comfortable speaking out in a group setting, or do you take more time to ponder a question and analyze the outcome before speaking out? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome all the way from across the pond, Introvert Expert Jon Baker to share his insight about introverts and some easy-to-implement techniques for leaders on how to bring the best out of them in the business world.

    Driven by his desire to expose the talent of quieter business people, Jon Baker has become known for activating introverts. With his quietly confident attitude to challenges and vision of balanced teams, alongside his enthusiasm for action and helping others, Jon inspires business leaders to take action.

    Authentic Touch Points:

    Techniques to optimize productivity. 25:00

    Jon knows that balanced teams allow introverts and extroverts to flourish individually and as a team, improving productivity, creativity and diversity of thought. His business growth and networking knowledge (has written two books on the subjects), combined with leadership experience, allows Jon to show leaders how to change their habits and get more from their introverts.
