Live Like a Leader with John Bates

“The best way to overcome the inevitable loneliness of life at the top may be to connect and mindfully attend to the process that’s already underway – the unconscious sharing that undergirds every relationship.”

Leadership through radical self-inquiry. This is the driving idea behind the work of Jerry Colonna. For over two decades, he has been dedicated to the proposition that work should be non-violent to the self, non-violent to the community, and non-violent to the planet.

Jerry is a coach, writer, and speaker who focuses on leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. He is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company born from the rallying cry that work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self.

Robert Houser is New England, born and raised. Though he has lived in California all his adult life, you cannot take the New Englander out of him. It follows him. He's determinedly independent, critically frugal, he doesn't take himself too seriously, and yes, sarcasm slides in as an icebreaker.

Photography entered his life at RISD, an extra course while he was at Brown studying Psychology and Comparative Literature with French. The photography courses at the Rhode Island School of Design reinvigorated his artistic side, which had been hidden for a decade by STEM classes. And though he worked on locked psychiatric wards while in college, it was the time in the darkroom that spoke to him. He became passionate about the medium, but his academic background stayed with him – psychology taught him to connect with people, to notice things they do or say, and to find a way put them at ease. And, Comparative Literature? It’s all about stories – a multi-disciplinary look at a theme. Decades of images later, he tells stories about people.

There is nobody quite like life coach, author, and motivational speaker Shawn Antonio. Shawn specializes in helping people lean into their purpose and inspiring and motivating them to be bigger and better, no matter their personal circumstances in life.

Shawn has died twice, almost four times. But - he keeps coming back. 

Shawn knows he has a bigger purpose for being here. Shawn initially pursued a career in medicine - only to give it up to follow his heart and enjoy a successful dance career. He has lived in 3 countries and five cities. His passions ultimately led him to Los Angeles, where he became one of Hollywood's most respected and universally loved nightlife promoters for more than 16 years. Shawn knows most people in LA.

In 2017, Shawn was accused of a crime he did not commit and could not afford to fight.

Despite all the challenges Shawn has faced - he dug deep and understood that there was a purpose in the design. In his darkest hours, he wrote his first two books and started coaching a number of friends - something he had been naturally doing for years as a passion rather than a purpose. 

Shawn coaches a number of celebrities and executives but is fiercely passionate about inspiring those stuck in the system - foster kids, inmates, and the homeless.

Shawn is committed to inspiring and improving the lives of 1 billion people in his lifetime - it's his 'North Star' and guiding light.

Between ever-changing work practices and the elusive act of fulfilling personal and professional demands, leaders must navigate a new world of challenges and strike the right tone of balancing completion with compassion. Dr. Sharon Melnick introduces the idea that power is the underlying issue in many of the trends we see among employees and that leaders who use their power for the good of all can create team members who are loyal, inspired, and accountable.  What Dr. Melnick sees from having coached and trained over 40,000 professionals is that leaders already have so much more power than they realize or are using.

As a Marshall Goldsmith Top 100 Coach, Sharon combines proven leadership best practices with behavior change methods she developed through 10 years of psychology research at Harvard Medical School. Sharon has spoken at over 200 retreats and leadership conferences around the world (as well as presenting at the White House, the United Nations, and at West Point). She hosts the popular podcast, The Power Shift. Her awaited third book In Your Power: React Less, Regain Control, Raise Others launched in Nov. 2022. 

Sharon can share a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and personal experience with your audience, including:

• The difference between being ‘in power’ and being ‘in your power’ and the #1 form of abuse of power to watch out for. 
• Go beyond your job description to understand the hidden sources of power already in your role, so you can shift from playing your small game to your BIG game
• How to get comfortable with the power you have and use it for the good of all 
• Fix situations that are personally frustrating for you by leading organizational solutions from which everyone benefits 
• The Leader creates the weather on the team - how to create the weather that keeps your team members and colleagues inspired and engaged.
• Grow power in others: How to get your team members to take ownership of solving their problems, and Why growing power in others is the key to increasing their power as well as yours.  

With this fresh perspective, she will show you how to respond, not react to roadblocks in the workplace, so you can regain control and unleash the positive energy that comes from being a Change Agent who makes it better for everyone!

Something wonderful happened to Oana when she became a mother. This biggest role of her life inspired her to press the refresh button. For instance, she started writing a personal blog.
