Cheryl Esposito welcomes Geneen Roth, bestselling author of Women Food & God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything; and Lost & Found: One

Woman’s Story of Losing Her Money & Finding Her Life. How do you

know when enough is enough? Geneen Roth has spent her adult life discerning the ways we are enough, have enough, get enough, give enough. Her exploration started with her relationship with food, and led to the real struggle: the battle with self worth. Geneen became a successful go-to guru helping others discover life-limiting beliefs & behaviors. So, imagine the surprise when she discovered there was more to that story…it was about money. The patterns of belief she had transformed about food, were alive & well when it came to abundance.

Her story includes Bernie Madoff, & leads her to deeply understand the concept of enough. “Enough is not an amount…it’s a relationship with what you already have.” Join Cheryl Esposito & Geneen Roth for Stumbling on Happiness: Enough IS Enough!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Peter Wrycza, founder of the Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness in Bali. Peter says: “In 1995 I stood in a grove of clove trees overlooking a river in a serene valley between the sea and the mountains and realized that this was my moment of choice. I could stick with my familiar work and territory in Europe. Or I could take the risk of buying land in a far-off place, and create a centre for people to connect with the core of their life.” Balinese philosophy emphasizes harmony between one's own 'small world' and the wider world around us. Perfect for the transformational experience offered here for those in search of renewal and inspiration for life and purpose. Peter is co-author of Living Awareness: Awakening to the Roots of Learning and Perception; and When Performance Meets Alignment: A Compass for Coaching and Mentoring.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Kute Blackson, a new generation firestarter inspiring a global revolution in Consciousness. Kute’s passion is helping you reveal your passion and live it. Raised in Ghana, the son of a revered spiritual leader, Kute is a gifted, inspirational orator. At age 8 he spoke in front of 3000 people with his father by his side. By age 18, with speaking appearances in over 300 venues, Kute was getting restless. Choosing his own way in the world rather than step into the role as his father’s successor, he courageously left for the U.S. with a dream to help others live their own truth. “What are you pretending not to know?” Kute asks as he takes you on a transformational journey, dares you to “pick up the instrument that is your heart & play it fully.” There is liberation in being who you are meant to be, rather than living the story that others have created about you. Whose life is it, anyway? Join Cheryl Esposito & Kute Blackson in creating your next masterpiece: YOU!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Richard Strozzi-Heckler, PhD, founder of Strozzi work & Strozzi Institute, & author of The Art of Somatic

Coaching. Richard says the ‘self’ is the leader’s primary

source of power & effectiveness. The success or failure of leaders is

more than a game of expertise & strategy. “It has become abundantly

clear to me that we do not transform ourselves and our thinking through good ideas or hope. To make sustainable shifts in our behavior and way

of thinking, we have to embody new schemas.” Somatic Coaching was

developed as a way to cultivate the self through the body. In somatics, the body is not just a physiological entity but is the center of our lived experience in the world. It is a way to move toward mastery in our lives, our leadership, and achieving our highest potential. Join Cheryl Esposito and Richard Strozzi Heckler to explore leadership moves that matter.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Dr. Raj Sisodia, author of Firms of

Endearment: How World Class Companies Profit from Passion & Purpose; and Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business. Raj

is co-founder and co-chairman of Conscious Capitalism Inc. Raj

Sisodia is passionate about making the world a better place through business. As a professor of marketing he saw a disturbing trend:

companies were spending more money on marketing than ever before, yet customer satisfaction, loyalty, & trust were on a downward trajectory.

Some companies were bucking this trend. Raj asked: what value is being

created here - and for whom? Raj sees a need for change in

business models. The rise of feminine values of nurturing, caring, & compassion, is clashing with historical masculine: domination,

aggression, & winning at all costs. Can organizations profit AND make

the world a better place? Raj says yes. Not only can they, they must to survive. Join Cheryl Esposito & Raj Sisodia as they explore the evolution of “conscious capitalism!”
