  • The Principles of Process Science with: Samuel Drauschak

    Nearly 20 million people were laid off in a matter of weeks

    as the pandemic took hold, regardless of whether they had strong work ethics,
    good performance or loyalty to a company. Zip Recruiter reports. Then the
    economic winds shifted just months later, and companies were suddenly desperate
    to hire. Firings and layoffs reached historic lows. Existing employees were
    often worked to the point of burnout, newbies with less experience were brought
    on at a higher wage and employers overlooked things that could have cost
    workers their jobs in the past. Productivity is down 4.1% on an annualized
    basis, the biggest decline since the government started keeping track of the
    number back in 1948. Since then, U.S. productivity had been on a steady
    upward slope. Until now.   Samuel
    Drauschak Co-founder and Chief Process Scientist of Truvle.  Where there on a mission to help businesses achieve maximum revenue growth through the

  • Changing What’s Possible for People with Cerebral Palsy with: Jocelyn Cohen

    America

    was founded on the promise of possibilities and the hope everyone has access to
    the vision of inclusion.
    Cerebral
    Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) funds US-based research to change
    what’s possible for people with cerebral palsy, implements proven science, and
    advances innovation to benefit all people with disabilities around the world.

    THE RESEARCH WE FUND

    CP is the most common lifelong physical disability in the world, affecting 1
    million people in the US and 18 million people worldwide. It’s a diverse
    disability that demands a diverse research portfolio, and we steadfastly
    support research that serves the whole community. We start at Day One with the
    earliest interventions to potentially lessen CP’s severity or prevent the
    injury that causes it. We keep going with science that will make it more
    comfortable for children to get the therapies they need. We continue with
    research that will uncover new chronic pain treatments for adults. We proudly champion research for every age and every
    stage.  Jocelyn Cohen is a writer and a
    storyteller at heart. She knows a compelling story when she sees one, and
    that’s why she’s excited to serve as Vice President of Communications and
    Engagement for Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation. She connects CPARF
    with the community and the community to each other, sharing our dynamic work as
    it unfolds — our advancements, our discoveries, and our breakthroughs. Jocelyn
    has cerebral palsy, and she understands that people with CP each experience it
    differently — it’s personal. She’s energized by CPARF’s work and proud to use
    her voice and professional expertise to make a difference for other people with
    CP. Prior to joining CPARF, Jocelyn spent several years as a Senior Writer at
    UJA-Federation of New York, where she shaped messaging and drove fundraising
    communications for some of the organization’s largest divisions, helping to
    raise nearly $46 million each year. She also worked as a Communications
    Specialist at Katten. She joined me this week to tell me how the organization
    is working to further the promise of inclusion for individuals with CP.

  • Empowering Leaders For Every Stage of the Game with Kate Eckman

    I’ve got a question for all of you.  How is morale at work do you seem to be

    thriving or do you feel as though there is more work to do?

    According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace Report,

    roughly 7 in 10 employees are struggling or suffering rather than thriving in
    their overall lives. This is a startling statistic, and while not necessarily
    surprising given the state of the world during the Covid-19 era, it is
    nevertheless a serious wake-up call. Prioritizing the wellbeing of people is no
    longer a nice-to-have goal, it is now a significant differentiating factor of
    high performing leaders and organizations. As the Gallup report so eloquently
    stated, “suffering destroys human spirit that drives innovation”, and “the most
    successful organizations in the future will not only generate profits, but also
    will generate thriving employees who are able capable of weathering crises.”

    As an Executive Coach, keynote Speaker and Author Kate

    Eckman empowers high-achieving individuals to actualize their full potential.
    She leverages her experience as a well-known communications, performance and
    mindfulness expert, accomplished entrepreneur, and elite athlete to equip
    leaders with the tools, methodology, and energetic boost they need to excel at
    the game of life. With a results-driven approach rooted in neuroscience,
    positive psychology, and whole-person coaching techniques, Kate helps her
    clients succeed in and out of the boardroom and on and off the field.

    She guides them to identify who they are beneath their

    titles and labels, clarity their priorities and values, and then co-create a
    game plan to get them from where they are now to where they most want to be …
    adding in some fun and humor along the way.

    Kate incorporates a mind-body-spirit approach into her

    coaching engagements, recognizing that when we take care of our inner world,
    our outer world takes care of itself. Clients report that working with Kate
    leads to greater focus, energy and presence; increased performance and
    resilience; more meaningful relationships and newfound confidence; and greater
    well-being and true fulfillment.

    As someone who is known to thousands as a broadcast

    journalist and an international TV personality, Kate understands the pressures
    and demands to be always “on,” perform at a high level and be an exceptional
    team player. She brings that high-level presence, professionalism, and
    infectious enthusiasm to each coaching engagement.  She joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Doing Outsourcing Differently with: John Jonas

    The global intelligent virtual assistant market size is

    expected to reach USD 14.10 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 24.3% over
    the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.   John Jonas helped thousands of entrepreneurs
    succeed in their business by doing outsourcing differently. He created the
    world’s largest website for finding Filipino Virtual Assistants, OnlineJobs.ph,
    which has over 500,000 Filipino resumes and over 100,000 employers from around
    the world using it. John is an entrepreneur who’s not just dreaming of changing
    hundreds of thousands of lives, he’s actually doing it! He wants entrepreneurs
    and business owners to know how hiring Filipino VAs can help them accomplish
    time freedom. John had a normal "job" for 8 months after college and
    his biggest goal at that time was to be able to quit that job. He managed to
    quit back in 2004 and worked from home for himself ever since then. It was in
    2006 that he first hired someone from the Philippines, he immediately knew he
    was onto something special. What's really great about hiring Filipino workers
    is how it changed their lives as well. They get to work from home, earn above
    average income, enjoy a generally higher standard of living, and raise their
    children by themselves which is a luxury most Filipino parents don't get to do.  He joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Understanding How Our Brain Works with: Dr Mark Williams

    In 2021, approximately

    406 million disability-adjusted life years were caused by brain health
    conditions, which is higher than other widely acknowledged
    health threats such as cancer (260 million DALYs) or cardiovascular disease
    (402 million DALYs, according to Politico. Dr. Mark
    Williams, PhD is a neuroscientist committed to improving learning,
    productivity, and well-being for everyone.”  He has worked with thousands of students,
    teachers, health professionals, and company directors keen to understand how
    their brain works, how to perform optimally and maintain a healthy brain. He
    regularly runs programs on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of
    emotions, how to hack your habits, how our brains create our reality, and the
    impact of modern technologies on our brains. Dr Mark’s book The
    Connected Species: How understanding the evolution of our brain can change the
    world will be published internationally in 2023.

    Dr Mark has an extensive academic background in brain research and

    teaching. He is a professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years of
    experience conducting behavioral and brain imaging research focusing on how we
    interact with each other, how we learn, and how we think. He has taught the
    fundamentals of neuroscience to thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate
    students, as well as publishing more than 70 articles in high-impact
    international journals and co-editing a book. He is an editorial board member
    of several international journals, has been awarded numerous high-profile
    fellowships and grants, and has worked at MIT in the USA and multiple
    universities in Australia.

    Not a typical ‘academic’, Dr Mark comes from a disjointed family

    background. He hated school and experienced first-hand the challenges of
    getting ahead in a small town in Victoria. To describe these years as
    ‘colorful’ is an understatement. Aged 25, something changed. Mark returned to learning,
    completed his HSC, and began what became a rapid rise to academic achievement,
    including being awarded both the CJ Martin and the Queen Elisabeth II
    Fellowships. He became fascinated with how we interact, learn and think. Mark
    went on to study brain plasticity, attention disorders, autism, prosopagnosia
    (face blindness), dementia, and eating disorders. He has been at the cutting
    edge of developing computational brain imaging analysis and the adoption of new
    technologies like virtual reality in research.

    Dr Mark draws on his extensive scientific background to work with

    schools, companies, and the public to develop evidence-based practices using
    neuroscience to enhance our education, work, and personal lives. His work has
    been highlighted in the media internationally including in The Guardian, The
    New York Times, and the Economist, and he is involved in several popular
    science documentaries. He joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Acing the Sales Process: with: Darleen Priday

    Sales is a

    people business and the ability to authentically  connect with people is a critical component to
    the entire process.

    ·        

    According
    to the NSEA or National Sales Executives Association, 3% of sales are made on the second contact

    ·        

    5% of sales are made on the
    third contact

    ·        

    10% of sales are made on the
    fourth contact

    ·        

    80% of sales are made on the
    fifth to twelfth contact

    No one knows the sales process better than Darleen

    Priday she is the CEO and Founder of  DP
    Consults.

     

    I am passionate about empathetic and relational

    sales. After spending over 25 years in leadership roles, I found that so much
    of sales is inauthentic and forced. I love entrepreneurs and so many of them
    think they cannot sell.  I empower
    leaders to gain the confidence to sell, as an extension of who they are and not
    just to follow a cookie cutter approach. I believe that all of us can master
    sales and through my podcast guesting appearances. I share practical &
    tangible tips on how to master the sales process and what most get wrong about
    the practice. She joined me this week to tell me more.

    symptoms.   Tim James  is one of

    desert. He just turned 50 but feels like he’s 18 (with more energy!) What’s his
    secret? After suffering from multiple health issues, including rectal bleeding,
    two separate skin issues, chronic acid indigestion and surgery to remove one of
    his organs due to serious digestive issues, Tim knew something had to change.
    But it was only after watching his closest ones die of cancer and the untimely
    death of his younger brother that he finally decided to take action. Tim’s
    journey led him to a shocking discovery which helped another one of his friends
    beat cancer and transform every area of his life. Feeling charged with a duty
    to help others he started sharing his knowledge with anyone that would listen.
    This led him to producing his own chemical free food products. ‘Chemical Free
    Body’ was born. Tim’s inbox is constantly flooded with people singing and
    dancing about how his products have given them a life they couldn’t believe was
    possible. His story will have you laughing, crying and gasping but most
    importantly he will give you the recipe to a longer, happier and healthier
    life.

    fat, do a body re-composition, or simply just gain more flexibility and
    mobility I want to help you become an even BETTER YOU!”

     

    “When I saw my grandfather and a close

    family friend pass away due to serious health problems due to cancer and
    unhealthy eating habits I knew I didn't want the same exact thing to happen all
    over again to the people I know and love (from my friends, family) and even to
    the whole entire world population! I figured I'd take it upon myself to help
    transform people's lives one body at a time and to ultimately help transform
    the world!

    When I was 15 years
    old I saw my younger brother lifting weights which helped inspire me to do the
    same. I also wanted to get a 6 pack and had a STRONG desire to want to live
    longer and just be healthier in general. My old ways of eating whatever I laid
    eyes on and sitting around playing video games just didn't cut it for me
    anymore and I wanted to make a SERIOUS lifestyle change! The rest is history.  He joined me this week to tell me more.
