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.

She is a leading edge teacher of mind-body-spirit health & human consciousness, & inspiration to many.

Her book THE HEART OF HEALING From Trauma to Health and Harmony, reveals deeply emotional stories of her world travels to help survivors of war. Christine found she was the one inspired by those she was there to help, the true nature of healing, the bravery it takes to forgive one’s enemies, & the transformational power of the human spirit.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Ocean Robbins co-founder & CEO of Food Revolution Network & co-author Voices of the Food Revolution: You Can Heal Your Body & Your World with Food!

Can you believe that it was ice cream that led to a healthy food revolution? It's true. Ocean Robbins' grandfather, Irvine Robbins, founded Baskin-Robbins ice cream company. Ocean's father, John Robbins chose a path that was a departure from the establishment, seeking his own voice and life of meaning. John wrote the bestseller Diet for a New America about vegetarianism, the environmental impact of factory farming and animal rights.

Today, Ocean is husband, father, author, speaker, movement builder, and CEO of the Food Revolution Network. He is co-author of Voices of the Food Revolution: You Can Heal Your Body and Your World with Food!

If you eat more vegetables, you'll be healthier, right? Maybe. Not all vegetables are created equally. Big agribusiness is hijacking our food sources with GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), all in the name of feeding the planet, improving the shelf life of produce or making crops disease resistant. Given what we don't know about GMO's, can we afford to be complacent?

Join Cheryl Esposito & Ocean Robbins for this eye-opening episode!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Stephen M. R. Covey & Greg Link, co-authors of Smart Trust: Creating Prosperity, Energy, & Joy in a Low-Trust World.   The first job of a leader is to inspire trust, and the second is to extend it. So say Covey & Link. In Smart Trust, they tell us that a powerful, global renaissance of trust has begun. Sparked by recent world events, business ethics, and transparency enabled by the internet, this call for a renaissance of high trust leadership is reverberating around the globe.   Smart Trust is judgment. It’s a competency and a process that enables us to operate with high trust in a low-trust world. It minimizes risk & maximizes possibilities. It optimizes two key factors: (1) a propensity to trust and (2) analysis. Simply put, Smart Trust is how to trust in a low-trust world.  Join Cheryl Esposito & Stephen M.R. Covey & Greg Link to learn what you can do now to build Smart Trust!
