March 17, 2021Dennis Mellen Takes More Than Heart
Dennis Mellen, a USAF Academy graduate (1975), is a retired Air Force pilot after serving as a lieutenant colonel and chief pilot for 20 years until his retirement from the Air Force Reserves in 1996.
At the time, he simultaneously worked as an instructor pilot and fleet captain at Alaska Airlines where he was the head of training over 550 pilots and 40 instructors. He was also part of the instructor cadre instrumental in establishing the Alaska Airlines route structure in eastern Russia from the destinations: Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Magadan, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. And as a veteran, he participated in the Desert One preparation, he was deployed to Sudan (in 1986) to counter Libyan incursions in Chad, and participated in Desert Shield/Storm. After retiring in 2012 from his 28-year flying career due to a heart attack, Dennis continued searching for a new purpose and new opportunities. He worked in aviation management at two air carriers heading up their training and standardization departments. He also worked as a training consultant and
certified International Air Transport Association Operation Safety auditor before becoming a high school baseball coach, speaker, and author. His goal with his first book is to provide motivation, education, and humor to inspire those who face serious challenges in their lives. Dennis and his wife, Heidi of 37 years, live in the Chicago suburbs, and they have four sons and just welcomed their first grandchild as of August 2020—they look forward to helping raise their granddaughter, as well as welcoming more grandchildren.

March 15, 2021Blindspots. How to Recognize them and How to Avoid Them with Everyday Leaders
Kevin McCarthy Author of the bestselling book, BlindSpots – Why Good People Make Bad Choices, and holds the highest certification recognized globally by the speaking industry, the Certified Speaking Professional.
An award-winning sales professional, he built one of the largest Century 21 offices in America, then developed and sold a dot-com startup.
In 2004, his boss was arrested for the largest stock fraud in Washington State history. As a result, Kevin spent 33 months in federal prison for a crime he didn’t knowingly commit. There he studied Cognitive Psychology and recognized — then deeply researched — the blind spots that lead to his predicament.
Today Kevin and his team expose the invisible barriers that impact culture, operations, training, service and leadership.

Likky Lavji is known as the “Blind Spot Navigator.” As founder and president of the Vancouver, British Columbia-based, Dante Group, he’s an in-demand workshop leader and keynote speaker who’s passionate about helping leaders break through their personal, un-recognized barriers in order to unleash their full potential.
With over 25 years as a CEO of a top IT company, Likky’s extensive experience in executive leadership provides him with a unique perspective that enables him to understand the multi-layers of human behavior and how they impact an organization’s growth and productivity. He works with these leaders and business owners to help them find their blind spots and unleash the opportunities for greatness they have buried beneath them. Likky’s website is likkylavji.com/
If you want to learn more about your Blind Spot, Likky has created an Assessment that you can take at no cost. It closely identifies which of the eight personality and behavioral styles describe you the best. You can click on this link to take the assessment https://likkylavji.com/blind-spot-assessment/. He will also launch his book soon, stay tuned and follow him at his Social Media account.

January 18, 2021Getting Healthy with Karen Schaible and Everyday Leaders
I’m Karen Schaible. www.karenschaible.com
I’m a Retired Registered Nurse working at the Bariatric Clinic, Certified Psychology of Eating Coach and Certified Weight and Life Coach, and I was in the exact same place as you are now!
I struggled with my weight for over 30 years. The struggle felt like it would never end. I felt stuck, frustrated and disappointed that yet another year would go by and I my weight didn’t change.
Overall those years, I tried every diet I could get my hands on. I knew what to eat so then “why couldn’t I just eat what I was supposed to,” I lost and gained 50 pounds so many times only to gain it back every time and usually more than I lost.
Losing and gaining weight was exhausting and discouraging. Despite all of this I still thought about losing weight ALL THE TIME!
I did an excellent job of beating myself up for overeating and wishing “if only I had more willpower!”
I cancelled plans to go out with friends or go to parties because I felt so fat or didn’t think I could control what I would eat.
Trying on new clothes in stores was so painful, I would wind up devastated and in tears at times. I would ask myself, “What’s wrong with me?” “You’ll always be fat,” “You can’t lose the weight, so why bother anymore.”
I missed out on so much of my life worrying about how I looked and what other people would think about me.
The thing was I was a Registered Nurse, a mom of 3 beautiful children and yet I couldn’t succeed at losing weight, I felt like such a failure.
Through all of this, I was determined to figure it out. One day I decided to do something different than anything I had tried before, and that was the start of my losing 100 pounds permanently.
I put all my focus and energy into not only the food but finding a process that helped me to take off the weight as well as change the habits and limiting beliefs that had kept me stuck for too long.
Today, my life is more than I ever imagined it could be. I am so grateful for all the “failures” with dieting because it taught me so much.
I have learned how to lose weight without counting calories or excessive exercising. I exercise because I want to, not because I have to. I eat the foods I want when I want; there is no deprivation or restriction. Food and my weight no longer rule my life.
The answer came in understanding the reason WHY I struggled with food and my weight and committing to a new way of thinking and living. With this simple approach and the right tools, I have completely and permanently transformed my weight and my life.
I want to show you how to do the same thing.
You can create a life that is amazing in every way. If I can do it, you can too. I am not an exception or any more special than you; I have the REAL Solution that works.
I love helping women get to a place where they are eating healthy foods, taking care of themselves and discovering real freedom and peace around food and their bodies.
Let’s work on this together because anything you’ve done, there’s an excellent chance that I’ve done it too. I’ve been where you are, and I know that I can help you end your struggle with food and your weight. Everything I’ll teach you, I’ve done, other women I work with have done, it works.
As your life and weight loss coach, I will give you a safe place where we work together through it all and believe it or not doing this, weight loss we will be pretty much be effortless. Working on all that has been holding you back is where the real key is.
