This week I had a conversation with Jochen Frey.

Jochen is an executive coach based in San Francisco, California. He's working with CEOs, co founders, executives of tech companies, supporting them in creating both successful companies and successful lives.

In other words, supporting them to succeed in the quest to 'Having it all' , hence the title of our conversation.

Before becoming a coach he co-founded and lead technology companies in Silicon Valley, Boston, and Germany. In university he trained in computer science and medicine, created his first product and founded his first company.

He is a yogi, life-long athlete and explorer of consciousness, quite literally, exploring all the way to the Mexican Jungle, where he experienced dry-fasting in solitude, in what is called a "Vision Quest", which he tells us more about in our conversation.

His other current obsessions are adventures such as paragliding with his wife Tina (who will be my guest in episode 19!).

Some of the highlights of this conversation are:

For this episode I had a fun-tastic conversation with Business strategist and money mindset coach Katie 🌭 McManus.

Katie is also the host of Weeniecast, a podcast dedicated to business strategy for ADHD entrepreneurs. Her motto is "stop being a weenie", and she believes that bravery is the key to getting what you want.

Katie is super fun to talk to, and I believe equally fun to listen to. She is not afraid of showing her spiritual side in her Business, even pulling Tarot cards with her clients, and occasionally on Linkedin Lives! 

She has had an intriguing career path before setting up her own business, and I'll let you discover for yourself which unlikely ingredients mixed into her pretty cool career recipe.

Some of the highlights from this conversation are:

For this episode I interviewed Iskra Petrova.

Iskra is a clarity and confidence coach, and self-empowerment mentor. She works with heart-led leaders and expert facilitators of change (coaches, educators, therapists) to step into their power, purpose and light, and thrive in life with self-trust and joy as their authentic selves.

I met Iskra on LInkedin, I knew I wanted to interview her when I realised she had launched Linkedin Lives called "Heartfelt conversations". In the end we didn't talk about that, as there was so much to cover, as I went from amazement to amazement at Iskra's life stories, from film production to martial arts and even speaking in tongue!

I think you'll enjoy listening to that conversation as much as I did having it!

This episode is not an interview, but the recording of a workshop I gave on the Internations platform, while we were all sitting at home during the pandemic.

Disclaimer: the sound is unfortunately a bit messed up, and the presentation will probably not work so well in audio only, as I'm sharing powerpoint slides to illustrate my point.

This is what I cover in this session:

This week, I had a conversation at great distance, all the way to Australia with Inga Joseph.

Inga is a naturopath, energy healer, and mentor, as well as the founder of Paradise Holistic Health. Her mission is to empower individuals and create a community that understands how physical, mental, and spiritual health are interrelated and cannot exist without each other.

We talked about energy and intuition, Inga showed us an exercise to trust our bodies in decision making, and my main take away is our discussion about how subconscious beliefs, often rooted in childhood perceived traumas, are contributors if not generators, not only of disease, but similarly of career circumstances that may appear random and unjust but that are a by-product of our own subtle and often unconscious patterns of behaviours.

Some of the highlights of this conversation are:

This week, I had a Heart to Heart conversation with author and podcaster with a mission Mark C. Crowley.

Mark is the author of "Lead from the Heart: Transformation Leadership for the 21st Century", and his mission is to fundamentally change how we lead people in workplaces around the globe.

Before writing his book, Mark spent over 20 years in the dog-eat-dog world of financial services.

He held 2 national level positions at one of America's largest financial institutions where he was named leader of the year. Quite untraditionally, he proved that deeply caring about and supporting people, and thereby positively affecting employee's hearts had a profound effect on motivating their sustained engagement, loyalty and productivity.  

New and breakthrough medical research Mark draws upon in his book proves that the heart is actually the driver of optimal human performance.

A leadership pioneer, Mark shows us that, rather than a weak or soft management, leading from the heart is the most informed and enlightened thing a manager or organization can do. 

Some of the highlights of our conversation are:

This week I had a fun and insightful conversation with my colleague, and friend, Cathy Brooks.

Cathy is a seasoned communications strategist whose personal journey to consciousness inspired her vision of transforming how people communicate. She coaches communication and leadership through her coaching company, Unleashed Leadership;

She also serves as Co-Founder of Paris-based start-up OpenBubble, which has the mission to reduce (and maybe eradicate) the epidemic of loneliness and isolation by enabling people a safe way to connect with others. 

And Cathy has also decades of experience communicating with, about and around... dogs! As you'll discover through our conversation, she has ran a business for many years helping doggies communicate with their humans, and vice versa... which has very much informed how she works with people today.

Some of the highlights of this conversation are:

This week, I had a "Living Breathing Conversation" with Deva Naidu.

Deva has been many things in many places. His talent has always been... "talent". He helps people and companies in the talent ecosystem to find their mission, identify their strengths and then to dial it up for exponential growth, via coaching and his boutique investment bank (Partners+).

When he's not working or raising his daughters and making his wife laugh or turn up her nose in disapproval, he meditates, runs, swims and trains in martial arts. He is also writing his first novella, which is based on his current understanding of spirituality.
