Integrity, accountability, leadership. Three words we hear often but what do they really mean? Many people talk about the importance of these three qualities but how many people actually embrace them? On this episode, we explore the qualities of integrity, accountability and leadership. Join us for an interesting and thought provoking conversation!

You make decisions all day long yet when you get home you have a tough time deciding what to have for dinner.

What is that?

Why can simple decisions leave us stuck and procrastinating?

On this episode, we discuss why we sometimes can't move forward and what to do!

Most of us feel we're open minded; open to change, new ideas, new people. But how open are we really?

On this week's episode, we're going to explore ways in which we may be shutting ourselves off and what we can do about it!

The need for change can happen in an instant. One day you wake-up, either literally or emotionally, and tell yourself "Enough! I need to do something about this!" And in the next breath you think, "How did this happen? How the hell did I get here?"

You might then pull yourself together and launch into a flurry of activity. But if you're like most of us, before you know it you're back to doing things the same way. The reason? Change is a slow and steady process that either moves you in a good direction or a bad one.

So what can you do? During today's discussion we'll provide practical tips for staying on course even in the midst of a pandemic.

Let's take some time to discuss what good came out of 2020 and how to move forward in 2021!

The world has completely shifted yet we're hanging on to our old beliefs, just sure that everything will go back to normal... Soon.

Even though you know change is inevitable, the old way of looking at things just doesn't seem to fit anymore. So how do you motivate when all you want to do is sleep, eat and wait until it's all over?

Change doesn't have to be painful or even hard, you just need some new ways at looking at things.

Join us and as we discuss how to break out of old cycles.

Most of us think we're fairly sophisticated and could easily spot a liar. But if that was the case, why are so many of us surprised when we find out the truth.

How could Bernie Madoff get away with running a Ponzi scheme?

Why aren't spies immediately detected?

Why are we blindsided when confronted with a significant other's infidelity or addiction?

The partial answer lies in the research of Timothy R. Levine a professor that has studied deception for more than 25 years. His conclusion is that humans are hardwired to default to truth.

On this episode we'll discuss:

Truth-bias and why the normal means of detecting a liar have been found to be inaccurate at best and dangerous at worst.

Why defaulting to truth is actually good for society.

How to look inward and see how we lie to ourselves which leads to lying to others

And how to start on a path to finding your own truth!

If everything went back to normal tomorrow would you be ready?

I've asked myself that same question and in some areas of my life I would have to say "no."

So how can we utilize this time to it's fullest?

How can we start re-energizing ourselves and reducing our stress?

Listen as Charlie and I discuss easy to follow tips and strategies to get you back on track if you've veered off a bit.

In this episode we discuss:

The importance of routine and how to establish one

Why and how to take better care of yourself

What to work on now

And much more!

You'll be ready to get back in the race!

Every one of us needs to feel heard and understood. Empathy, the ability to feel what another person is feeling, is the key. Whether it's a crisis in our lives or a celebration, empathy allows us to feel connected with others.

On this episode Charlie and I discuss empathy, what it is and what it isn't and we provide examples.

Listen and see what you think. Working the empathy muscle (which we all need to do) will not only bring you closer to family and friends but it will also enhance your career and work environment!

"In conversation, do you listen or wait to talk?" Mia Wallace to Vincent Vega ~Pulp Fiction

Our country is in a full-blown crisis right now. What's become clear is that as a nation made up of individuals, we haven't been listening.

Not to our partners

Not to our kids

Not to our bodies

Not to our intuition

And we certainly not to those with opposing viewpoints

Issues start with a whisper and get louder until we finally take notice.

In this episode, Charlie and I speak frankly about what we're experiencing and discuss the importance of developing our ability to listen.

Let peace begin with each of us!
