Welcome to the 45th episode of the Give A Heck Podcast! Join Dwight Heck and his guest, Karen Theimer, as they talk about finding your self-worth and learning to fight for yourself. Karen has been in the dog grooming business for more than 20 years. But upon realizing the wear and tear of her body, her passion for health, wellness, and massages were born. And so, at the age of 40, she went back to school to become a registered massage therapist. Now, Karen helps other people find the health and freedom they have been searching for. After all, she believes that just because you're at the mid-point of life doesn't mean it's time to slow down.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

l How leveling up your mind and feeding it new information can lead to a fulfilling life

l Why you should focus on your healing journey first before helping others with theirs

l The law of attraction and how generational trauma keeps you from finding your self-worth

l How “associations” such as people, daily tasks, and media affect your healing journey

l The importance of being open-minded when starting your journey towards self-discovery

l And much more!

~

About Karen Theimer:

Karen Theimer began her career several decades ago as a dog groomer. Animals have always been a big part of her life, and so it makes sense that that is where her journey began. And so, her dog grooming career went on for 23 years before she began to notice the wear and tear on her body. Hours upon hours of bending over bathtubs and grooming tables had taught her that if we did not respect the musculature of our bodies, we’d find ourselves in a whole world of hurt.

With that realization, Karen’s love for massage and health was born. And while it wasn't easy to walk away from her dog grooming business, saying goodbye to that path allowed her to pursue her passion for health and wellness in a whole new way, something she still loves to this day.

After leaving her old business, Karen found the courage to go back to school at the age of 40 to pursue her designation as a registered massage therapist. She truly believed that each step on her journey has been instrumental in bringing her to where she is now.

Welcome to the 40th episode of the Give A Heck Podcast! Join Dwight Heck and his guest, Will Kintish, as they hold a profound discussion of everything you need to hear about networking. The daily grind, for some people, is a fixed work routine and a check once or twice a month. And that's totally normal! But for Will, if someone wants to climb up the ladder, he/she must visibly and proactively start learning how to become a competent networker. In this episode, Will talks about overcoming fear when working the room, how to spot opportunities, how to follow up professionally, and this beautiful Jewish word termed 'beshert.'

In this episode, you'll learn:

· Bidding accounting goodbye — the start of Kintish Networking Skills

· Beshert (Jewish term): The transition to networking and on defining its simple meaning

· The Eight Steps to Effectively Network

· "What is your work? And what do you do?"

· The Six Formats of Every Room You Will (Ever) Enter

· And much more!

~

About Will Kintish:

Will left Bury Grammar School at 16 and spent the next 36 years training as, qualifying as and practising as a Chartered Accountant. An opportunity arose for him to have a career change after his accountancy firm was merged into a national business.

Do you believe in fate? Will does. Two years before Will left his accountancy career, he was training as a trainer with the Dale Carnegie Organisation. This was simply to be a hobby, not knowing he was going to leave accountancy some short time later.

As a result of the merger, Will set up a presentation and training business in 2000. As an accountant, it seems he was extremely good at attracting clients but realised most professional people, whilst great at the technical aspect of the job, struggled with marketing, selling, and promotion. So he recognised a huge gap in the market for people to become more confident and effective networkers in the professional and financial communities. In the mid' noughties' when budgets reduced dramatically, Will had to find new markets, and these have turned out to be the not-for-profit and academic worlds.

Since 2000, Will would like to think he has established himself as a leading UK provider of professional development training, having presented to over 80,000 people Europe-wide. After all, "I've been Kintished" seems to have taken on as a phrase well-known to people who have heard his presentations.
