Mission Driven You

Imagine a world where communication is at the heart of all meaningful relationships and conversations! With Brenden Kumarasamy, founder of Master Talk, on the podcast today, we discussed how anyone could take their public speaking abilities to greater heights. As an experienced coach for executives worldwide seeking to up their game, Brenden gives them the tools needed to make profound changes through improved communication which could ultimately lead us closer to creating that transformative reality.

I had the pleasure of conversing with Peter Anthony, an internationally-renowned authority on collaboration. We discussed new ways to collaborate, and he revealed his six elements for purposeful conversation. He showed me how indispensable cooperative effort is in business success - not only enabling companies to prosper but also helping them connect authentically with customers. Then we took a moment to envision what could be achieved if everyone worked together openly and vulnerable! I hope you enjoy this episode and that it moves to collaboration in every area of your life.

This week, I'm thrilled to have Doug Thorpe on the show. He's an inspiring individual who has achieved a lot in life as an executive, entrepreneur, and corporate board member - not to mention being recognized for his leadership insights.

Let's learn from this remarkable man's knowledge and see how we can tackle the challenges modern businesses face with better approaches towards effective leadership – don't forget to share it with someone special too.

A lot is happening in this episode. The podcast, originally entitled A Revolution of Interdependence has been rebranded to Mission Driven You! It fits more closely with my work and how I want to contribute to the world.

Much of the content in this episode is covered in my Teachable course, How to Create Lasting Transformation in Your Life.

In this first episode of the year, I talk about the 5 amazing growth lessons I learned in 2022. They are:

1. The Caller is Inside the House - our greatest threat is the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
2. Be Wary of Needing Anything - be careful of any time we need something outside ourselves to be complete.
3. Use Your Life Team - as the CEO of our own lives, take advantage of all the people around us who love and believe in us.
4. It Is Never Too Late - the cultural industrial complex wants to cap our potential, but it is never too late to take the next right step.
5. Energy is the key - the only way we can excel and succeed is fo focus on surrounding ourselves with positive people and energy.
