Making Space for Conversations That Matter with Laura Prisc

Dr. Ron Gharbo is an expert in the body-brain connection and in today's conversation, he endeavors to help Laura understand the intricacies of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how it is intimately connected with and an indicator of one's emotional intelligence (EQ), which is highly correlated with success in leadership.

Recent advances in wearable technologies give Dr. Gharbo predictive insight into an individual's energy reserves, which allows him to assess whether they are physically equipped to deal with physical and emotional stresses.

"Energy is finite," he explains. If an individual actually understood his or her personal "energy bank," he or she could make better decisions about what to engage in or take action on. "If you knew your reserves were low, would you still take this action?" is a question he poses as he walks Laura through how it works.

HRV is incredibly sensitive and requires skilled interpretation into the physical and emotional variables that impact it. Practitioners can gather enough data over time to understand an individual's HRV and make healthy modifications through exercise, breathing, and mindful awareness.

Dr. Gharbo takes this level of insight and information to a new level when he expresses interest in doing a large-scale experiment within a corporation allowing participants to self-modulate behavior and HRV through a phone app. It's a fascinating conversation and an intriguing idea for sure; if you're in HR and want to take him up on this experiment, connect with him below.

Feedback on Dr. Gharbo's Expertise

With 27 years of nursing experience, Yvonne Heath has seen a lot, and not the kind of "a lot" most of us would choose to witness or experience. She's worked in numerous aspects of health care, including the Emergency Department, ICU, Chemotherapy, Palliative Care, and Hospice. She has come face-to-face and heart-to-heart with grief, whether with a patient or through supporting their loved ones through some of the most painful moments of hurt and loss. And not just the painful moments in others' lives, but in hers, as well. At one point, her teenage son was spiraling into drug addiction, she was raising 4-year-old twins, and working full-time as a Chemo Nurse… For a while she "went steady" with Red-Red Wine, attempting to numb her feelings so she could keep moving. Inspired by real-life physician, Patch Adams, she decided to offer a different approach, one that allows our humanness – heart and humor – to come into the room. "We all experience these hard, heavy feelings," she explains. "Emotion is energy in motion; it has to move through us…" We need to allow those feelings to show up and sit with them; how we move forward in our lives is determined in large part by how to approach and embrace or avoid grief. What she learned along the way is that we need each other, especially in times of grief. And even when we have no idea what to say or do, we can always "Just Show Up" and be there with people, hold the space for them to experience what we're experiencing, and love them through it. Eventually, what we need to do or say will become evident… but in the meantime, we let others know that loss – of whatever kind (job, home, health, marriage, loved ones…) – doesn't need to isolate us as we attempt to navigate our way through. She shares some signs of grief, as it often comes disguised as something else; part of the armor many of us take on in our attempts to not be vulnerable. She also speaks of the dreaded "polite conversation" many of us engage in when we know someone has been through something traumatic because we're not sure what to say, and perhaps we're afraid if we discuss it frankly, it may touch us, as well. Yvonne's Bio Yvonne has been a registered nurse since 1988, working in ten different hospitals in the US and Canada in many areas including emergency, intensive care, chemotherapy and hospice. She became disheartened by our society's reluctance to talk about, plan, and prepare for grief and life's challenges—causing excessive suffering in life and at the end of life. She suffered, too, not knowing how to do it differently. In 2015, she took a leap of faith, left her nursing career and blazed a new trail. By helping us prepare BEFORE, she brings heart and humor to grief, death, and dying. She shares her message as an Inspirational Speaker, with her book Love Your Life to Death, as a television and radio host, and through social media. In 2019, she delivered her TEDx Talk: Transforming Grief, by Just Showing Up. Driven by her vision that everyone lives, grieves, and dies well, Yvonne is traveling and helping great organizations along the way.

It began a number of years ago, when John and his family attended a new church plant in Chicago; an offshoot from the home church in Oak Park. Their gatherings were a bit unconventional by "church" standards, but so were the attendees, John among them. When the "experiment" was ended, many chose not to return to the home church; its style and structure no longer met their needs. As a member of a musical community in the West Chicago area, John knew there was a desire for deep spiritual conversation and exploration among his friends and fellow musicians that wasn't being fed through existing gatherings. On a trip to Ireland, John received what he calls a "Memo from the Head Office," which eventually coalesced into the Sunday Family Dinner plan. With his friend and business partner, Perry Marshall, he created a unique space for people to explore and discuss spirituality – and connected topics – unrestricted by the confines of formal religious practices. Once a month, on a Sunday evening, they invite a small group of people to join them at a friend's bar for dinner, drinks, and music. John speaks for 15-20 minutes on a topic he's been contemplating, and meaningful conversation unfolds. The theme is aligned with James 1:27, which tells us to "take care of widows and orphans." For John, this raises some interesting questions, like: How do we decide where we come down on protecting the system versus taking care of those most at risk? Where is the line between government responsibility and personal responsibility? How do I move into this kind of time (this episode was recorded in the middle of COVID lockdown) … is it time to work on our lives, relationships, health...? No one of us is unidimensional. We are multidimensional, multitalented, creative, and complex. John Fancher is one of those people whose multi-facets are on display and quickly recognized. He's a poet, a thoughtful reader, a contemplator of the meaning of life, a seeker of purpose and truth, a rock-star guitar player, a part-time pastor, husband, father, friend, and marketing consultant. The combination of all these things (and so many more that I haven't experienced yet…) made it clear to me, a meaningful conversation with John would be a journey of unexpected twists and turns, insight, deep thought, and fun – and it was! John's Bio John is a writer and marketing consultant who works closely with his good friend and renowned business consultant, Perry Marshall. John is a part-time rock star and part-time pastor of a church-but-not-a-church that meets in a bar/art gallery. John loves to travel, especially to Ireland, which is his adopted Fatherland. He has three grown children and lives with is his wife, Jay, in the most rocking suburb of Chicago, Berwyn, IL.

If you've not heard it before, "There's no Growth in the Comfort Zone and no Comfort in the Growth Zone!" Jon shares some of his personal growth journey – initiated by a simple question from his young daughter – and the subsequent realization that he wasn't doing the real work he feels called to.

More awake, he went on a journey to discover who he really is, what he cares about, what he's called to create, and how best to do that. Through that process, he came to understand that to create real change, we have to shift our consciousness, and that requires some level of stretch and the willingness to go beyond our personal comfort zone. For him, those shifts came a little more readily when combined with some kind of outdoor experience and some level of physical challenge.

He's carried that wisdom forward and built his work around it, creating those kinds of experiences and opportunities for meaningful shifts for his clients. Through his Energy Leadership training, he's developed his ability to really tune-in to people and understand not just their words and articulate thoughts, but also the undertones and unspoken ideas beneath the actual conversation.

It's a conversation that will draw you in and hold you close, spark your thinking, and hopefully awaken your longing to live a more intentional, purposeful, wide awake life!

You might think it would be all about the babies, and for some midwives, that may be true. For Ellie Durant, it's about caring for women; being there to support and encourage them in one of the most intimate experiences of life.

"Women have complicated stories," she explains. "And the most interesting bits seem to be related to pregnancy and childbirth."

Ellie shares her story of how she came to be caring for women, beginning in her late teens studying nursing. A hardwired Learner, prone to dive deeply into the ideas and topics that capture her interest, Ellie would spend hours in the local bookstore reading whatever she could find in her field; she would even be so bold as to bookmark her place, put the book back on the shelve, and hope it would still be there the next time she could drop in!

Looking back, Ellie recognizes a long line of nurses in her family, including her mom, who worked in the neo-natal and maternity units during her career. So, perhaps this 'caring for women' comes naturally to her.

During this conversation, Laura and Ellie talk about birth, what it means to be a midwife – literally and in practice, some of the issues Ellie (and numerous other midwives she knows) have experienced while in practice: Staff shortages, bullying among midwives, communication breakdowns, etc.

Ellie speaks with clear conviction about her purpose in doing the work, caring for women, and creating space for them to have the kind of birth experience they desire when possible. She also shares some of the work she's done in building an actively engaged community of midwives, a space for them to speak freely, share ideas and experiences, get support, be a support, and continue to share information and grow together.

Ellie's gentle voice and clear passion for her work will draw you in and hold you close. You don't want to miss this episode!

Ellie's Bio

Ellie is a trained midwife and published author. She provides career support through writing and coaching, and her work is often about respect for the most vulnerable person in the room.

Ellie has spoken at events such as The Royal College of Midwives Conference and has shared a stage with midwives such as Sheena Byrom (OBE) and obstetrician Michel Odent. Ellie will be returning to practice in September 2020 and holds a position as an NHS support worker to help with the coronavirus pandemic.

If you're a business owner who occasionally – or frequently – takes your team off-site because you want them to think more creatively, work more collaboratively, be more innovative, and possibly even have more fun working, why would you even consider taking them to a beige, boring off-site conference room or meeting space?

If you've done that, and wondered why they weren't more creative, collaborative, innovative, or playful, nor was the meeting any more fun or interesting or productive than the ones you've held previously in your own conference room… The answer couldn't me more obvious to Mark Henson, Founder of sparkspace in Columbus, Ohio.

It all a couple of decades ago when Mark was working in a design firm. So many who visited the firm noted that they were a bit envious about the fun, funky, colorful space the design team and staff got to work in every day. In fact, some companies actually asked the firm to use their conference rooms for team meetings…

It sparked Mark's thinking that there was opportunity there, and so it began. sparkspace was born in a 900 square foot space that Mark set up to be meeting friendly and tested his idea for a year. It was a tremendous hit and he needed more space

sparkspace has expanded several times and today encompasses 10,000 square feet for six different sized- and themed-meeting rooms that are unlike any meeting space you've ever been in.

But it's not just about the fun, funky décor and amenities. Mark and his team are truly obsessed with providing exceptional hospitality. "We want our guests to feel truly welcome in our space," he explained. "Even if this is their very first visit, we want them to feel as if they've been there before, they are truly welcome, and we are fully at their service."

This episode touches on the fun and creative nuances in business and moves into other topics including leadership, personal and team development, how important it is to take time to reflect on experiences to extract the depth of the lessons contained within them, and much more.

Mark's Bio

Mark Henson is the chief imagination officer of sparkspace, a company that sparks new thinking with its unique conference space and inspirational programs for teams and individuals.

After graduating from Oklahoma Christian College with a degree in Mass Communications, Mark worked as a radio personality, marketing director, copywriter, and a brainstorming facilitator for some of the world's most successful brands.

20 years ago, Mark designed and launched sparkspace as a full-time facility dedicated to helping teams have more meaningful conversations about overcoming challenges, building relationships, and creating better futures.

In March of 2017, Mark released his first book, Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents. The purpose of the book is to help you discover the talents that create the most positive change in your life, the lives of others, and the world around you.

Mark lives in Upper Arlington, Ohio, with his wife, 2 teenagers, and a black cat who rules the whole house.

We all know that Mardi Gras in New Orleans looks like a huge party; some of you may have even experienced it in person. But were you aware that there's a whole lot more going on behind the scenes, in the community, and what you might not know could astound you?! Yes, there are parties. Yes, there are parades. Yes, it can get a little crazy. But it's so much more than you would imagine and the work for some of the Krewe's goes year-round. Each Krewe has a purpose, a history, and a process for naming each year's parade royalty. And that's just the beginning. Royalty comes with a lot of responsibility, requiring an additional "crew" of helpers. There are events to attend, funds to be raised, themes and designs to be conceived and produced, and loads of work to be done. There's history, and backstory, and tradition, and rules, and processes. When I was first introduced to Racquel, it was through a dear friend. What she didn't tell me up front was that I was speaking with Royalty! Not just as a Princess in a long-established Mardi Gras Krewe, but also in the music world, especially in New Orleans. Racquel is musically gifted, from a musical family. Her father was a musician, singer, and producer who owned a recording studio. He wrote his special song, called New Suit, in honor of the Mardi Gras costuming tradition and Racquel used it as the theme for her reign this year, in honor of her dad. There's so much learn about this fabulous, colorful tradition and the people who keep it alive and growing… You'll just have to listen in to catch it all – including how to get to ride on one of the parade floats next time you're in NOLA during Mardi Gras! I guarantee that Racquel's vibrant personality, knowledge, and drive will keep you entertained even while you learn something new. Racquel's Bio Born and raised New Orleanians, Racquel Turbinton-Bruno and her husband Sean M. Bruno were crowned as Prince and Princess of the Zulu Mardi Gras Parade in 2020. Befittingly, Racquel was born into a New Orleans musical family which made significant contributions to the Mardi Gras tradition. Racquel's father, Wilson Turbinton, better known to the musical community as "Willie Tee" (of the band "Willie Tee and the Gaturs") wrote and produced a song for the Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indian Tribe entitled "New Suit," as well as several other hits that are heard throughout the city during parade season. The song is an anthem to the Mardi Gras Indian experience as it references their annual tradition of creating a new costume in preparation for unveiling during carnival time. Racquel's father was the pioneer of putting music behind Mardi Gras Indians; a trend which was soon imitated by other tribes who followed this practice. Racquel experienced having her "New Suit" created for her reign as Princess and dedicated it to her father as a tribute in honor of his musical works. Professionally, Racquel is a Senior Event Manager in the hotel industry, planning and executing details of conferences in the Corporate and Association Markets. Racquel was inducted into the Hilton Corporation's "Circle of Excellence" in Catering and Event Management. Racquel's professional event management skills paired well with organizing a successful, enjoyable, and memorable experience for the Zulu Province Prince Krewe during Mardi Gras 2020.

His first visit as a guest discussing 'how to scale the new shared economy' was so well received, Laura welcomes Joel Hodroff back. In this episode, they expand their conversation to dig into what collaboration and creativity as a foundational principle in business could mean for our economy.

Joel explains how even though millions of people lost their jobs in the 2008 downturn – and there will likely be similar statistics associated with our current situation with COVID-19 related effects – we didn't actually lose our creativity, skill, expertise, or wealth. It all doesn't just disappear when the economy takes a nose-dive.

It's a matter of how we frame it, think about it, and live into it.

With that in mind, he poses the question: What if competition was about the health and well-being of our communities and planet, rather than the idea that we must "crush" others in business who offer the same products or services we do?

Laura introduces a business simulation game – FreshBiz – she facilitates with some of her clients. It's designed to bring out the paradigms we operate from in how we approach life and business, how we think of and use (or hoard) our resources, and how there is more opportunity for wealth, growth, success, creativity, and collaboration than we imagine.

The two discuss ideas around cooperation in business, retooling ourselves to take on new kinds of work when our current skills are no longer in demand, how to distribute workloads more realistically and lower worker stress, and create healthier, more sustainable systems that allow us to build healthy communities, deeper relationships, and enjoy higher levels of creativity and innovation.

There's so much depth in this conversation, it's hard to give you just a taste. Eavesdrop on this one and let us know what new ideas you have!

Joel's Bio

Joel Hodroff believes that emerging business models based on cooperation and sustainability have the power to solve our most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. He asserts that win-lose competition over money—which modern society inherited from an era of scarcity—is now impeding greater economic security and increased happiness for individuals, families, and communities in the US and around the world. Consider that today's oftentimes stressful workplaces, schools, and community organizations can become organizing centers for personal growth and healing, social innovation, and sustainable community economic development.

In 1997, Joel was issued a US patent for his novel dual currency pricing, accounting, and transaction settlement system. The system was designed to reward socially valuable activities such as community volunteerism, youth academic performance, unpaid domestic labor, and so forth. The systems stretch dollars (or other national currencies) utilizing a Business-Community Wealth Accounting Protocol to turn underutilized business capacity—such as empty restaurant tables, empty college desks, and off hours at the movies—into new economic resources for healthier families and communities.

Joel has been a social entrepreneur and environmentalist for over 30 years, launching Solar Consultants, Inc., in 1983; Dual Currency Systems in 1993; and cofounding Responsible Minnesota Business in 1998. He was a Minnesota Finance and Commerce Innovator of the Year in 2005 and a Visa Thought Leader / Innovation Provocateur in 2007.

Joel has stayed the course with his economic vision for over 25 years through every imaginable entrepreneurial near miss, wrong turn, and outright failure! He is currently playing for (and praying for) what is termed "a 25-year overnight success story." Joel's personal mission is the pursuit of unlimited human potential through unconditional love in community. He believes that the profit motive can be harnessed for the good of humanity and the natural environment.
