2-time iron man, former soccer pro, and now leadership performance coach Matt Chavlovich joins me from his home in New Jersey to discuss his experience of the pandemic, how he’s found quiet space despite having two kids home from school, where he’s finding positive lessons, and how he’s planning to turn the world of children’s books upside down! 

About Matt:

Today I Begin was created with one purpose in mind: to close the gap between where you are today and where you want to be. I work with individuals and organizations that know there is another level to get to. People that have been envisioning a particular life or achievement, but still don't have it. People that know what it means to commit and go all in. People that are finally ready to begin operating at their highest level of influence in all areas of their life. People that know the power of a coach. What is left undone in your life? What are you waiting to begin? What are you really capable of? When you are ready to explore what it means to have that life and become that person, we should have a conversation.  Discover…

• What life is like in New Jersey • Why Matt let go of the experts early • How the pandemic has accelerated a much needed clean up

In Episode #033 of CrisisCast 2020 | Jos Willard

Jos Willard - An Alaskan American describes Alberta, Canada (where he lives) as the Texas of Canada! Before he was a coach, he used to blow up tanks and jump out of airplanes for the US Army.

In this episode, we discuss how wargaming can help us, staying focused on the journey and gives a good reminder of why we all need to get out from behind our computer screens. 

About Jos:

Are you a coach or service professional who's tired of having to make decisions based on what's in the bank account? Do you want a profitable practice, full of your ideal clients, that supports your family - WITHOUT taking advantage of your clients, feeling slimy, or stressed out? I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR VALUES-  NOT YOUR BANK BALANCE.  I also believe that the best way to do that is to have a full bank account. Do you want the freedom to work with only your ideal clients, and to make your decisions based on your values, rather than “what you can afford?” Would you like to have control over your schedule, so you can have the time to recharge and bring your best work to your clients every day, without shortchanging your family? My mission is to help good coaches build profitable practices so that they are rewarded for making a positive impact in the world, living from their values, and helping exactly the people they’re meant to serve. Not to brag, but I have more than two decades of international experience mentoring, coaching, training, and making millions of dollars for my clients’ businesses. I’ve been lucky enough to befriend (and smart enough to hire!) some amazing coaches and mentors in my life and reaped the benefits. Now, I “pay it forward” by coaching and mentoring a select number of clients “behind the scenes.” My clients have run the gamut from single coaches and service professionals to multi-location regional businesses, to international organizations. If anything I’ve said here resonates with you, and you’d like to explore working with me as a client, then we should schedule a conversation.

In Episode #030 of CrisisCast 2020 | Abigail Rose Clarke

I connected with health behavior expert Abigail Rose Clarke through Lena West (episode 17) and I immediately knew she would give a unique perspective from her home in Mexico. It’s normal that I’d ask guests to close windows for sound quality reasons… but in this case, I wasn’t able to because Abigail has no windows where she lives! So all the pleasant animal sounds in this show are real and of course, none were harmed in the making of this podcast. Our conversation covers COVID-19, global protests, history, pleasure, and her work as helping people have better relationships with their bodies through her ‘Embodied Life Method’.

“A revolution must be an evolution” - Grace Lee Boggs

My Guest:

Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic educator focusing on strategic, tangible, embodied methods to create lasting change in our personal and communal lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change. By helping people truly inhabit their own skin and blood and guts and bones she offers a way to re-enter into a true relationship with the world.  

Abigail holds a degree in Health Behavior from Smith College and focused her undergraduate work on the use of mind-body modalities in the treatment of anxiety disorders as classified by the DSM-V. Her work focuses on the class and race access barriers to wellness, and the ways wellness and the wellness industry are inherently political, even as the body transcends politics.

In 2014 Abigail began developing The Embodied Life Method™. In courses and workshops throughout the United States and online, Abigail teaches embodiment as a practice and a responsibility. As the world shakes and burns and floods we are tasked with remaining present to the world as it is, which requires we remain present to ourselves as we are. Only when we are willing to be present with the world and ourselves and one another does the way forward become possible.

There isn’t a single binary in your body. Nature knows no hierarchy. When we remember that we have more in common with the stones and trees and mossy woods than we do with steel buildings and supremacies of any kind, we live into the future. This is The Embodied Life Method™

Discover…

• How COVID has impacted life in Mexico • Why we should put healing at the focus of how we’re living now • Thoughts on post-COVID education • What ‘The Embodied Life Method’ is • How governments are changing • Why relationships with the world start inside

From her home in Chicago - Shelley Paxton.

After 26 years in the corporate world where her last position was Chief Marketing Officer at Harley Davidson… To the shock of her family friends and coworkers She left and went on her Soulbbatical (have no fear this term is fully explained). Shelley has gone on to become a coach, an author, and has truly started her life all over again. Along with the health crisis, Black Lives Matter is now at the forefront of our lives and the conversation. I was so grateful to Shelley for speaking with me about the deep work she is doing, how she plans to be part of the solution, and books we need to read. We’re so proud to be publishing her new podcast Rebel Souls - coming in August. Here’s just a sample of the treat your ears have in store. 

My Guest

Authenticity is the truest form of rebellion. What are you rebelling for? At the height of my 26-year career as an accomplished marketing executive and global brand leader – having become CMO of Harley-freaking-Davidson – I discovered that the view from the top of the corporate ladder lacked the fulfillment I expected. In fact, it was taking the joy out of my life—and the life out of me. I had been playing by someone else’s rules for so long that I didn’t even realize what I'd lost: a connection to my own soul. It would take a couple years, several international flights, and innumerable moments of self-reflection to regain my deepest, truest sense of self. It took a full blown Soulbbatical to get reacquainted with my purpose: to teach people how to rebel for who they are, what they want, and the impact they want to have in the world. I’ve reached a point in my life where I’ve realized that to rebel against something—the establishment, the rules, the red tape—isn’t nearly as productive, meaningful or fulfilling as rebelling for something. I started Soulbbatical, the company, with the mission to liberate the souls of leaders and organizations by inspiring them to realize (and rebel for) their greatest purpose, possibility, and impact. As an ICF-certified professional coach, I work with executives at Fortune 100 companies as well as fellow rebel soul individuals and entrepreneurs. I’ve trained with some of the top teachers in the world, including Brené Brown, researcher and five-time New York Times bestselling author, and Rich Litvin, master coach and author of The Prosperous Coach. I wrote Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel’s Guide to Finding Your Best Life (published by Simon & Schuster in January 2020) as a manifesto on breaking free from the traditional shoulds and should-nots of life and leadership. It’s about rewriting the script of success—personally and professionally. It’s not the six-figure salary and corner office. It’s not external validation. Success is radical self-commitment – giving yourself permission to be YOU. It’s saying yes to what serves you and no to what doesn’t. It’s carving your own path. It’s becoming success-FULL instead of success-EMPTY. If you’d like to hire me for coaching or book me to speak, email me at [email protected] or InMail me. Graduated from Boston College with a B.S. in Marketing, from the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program (with Omnicom University), and from the iPEC Coaching Program. I’m also a Certified Dare to LeadTM Facilitator.

Julian Treasure is a five-time TED speaker and the Founder and Chairman of The Sound Agency, a world-leading audio brand consultation company offering a holistic approach to audio branding through a combination of creativity and skilled experience.

Julian’s passion for sound and creating a brilliant audio experience stems from his background as a musician, playing with a variety of indie bands.

Julian joins me today from Orkney, Scotland to share how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted his life on a personal and professional level. He shares how he has noticed organizations exploring and implementing technology and software, like Zoom, to maintain and improve their communications with their employees and customers. He discusses how video conferences differ from audio-only calls, in-person meetings, and live public events and the importance of understanding your listening audience when preparing for a live presentation online. He discusses why he believes technology has played a role in people’s relationship to music - and each other - and shares strategies we can use to strengthen our listening skills and improve our relationships. He also discusses why he believes our tolerance for sound and noise will change as we reenter the workforce and how the COVID-19 pandemic inspired him to help businesses and organizations use soothing sounds in the workplace as we approach a ‘new norm.’
