    Ari is the CEO of Quantum Media Group, LLC. and has been seen regularly on Fox News, CNBC, and CNN.  He’s known for keeping his eye on the future and today, he talks about success.

    • Business is personal.
    • Relationships require giving more than you expect.
    • Becoming trustworthy is a two-way street. 
      • Be clear about your expectations.
      • Model what you want to see in others.
    • Toxicity is out there, so be dependable.
    • Remember that success is both timing and luck; Being prepared for your luck helps a lot.
    • Remember that success isn’t always about money; “I love what I do” and that’s a big component of success
    • Humanizing others is huge (#StartsWithOne). Ari described an exercise I learned in early training back in the 80s.  I’ve since used it in my retreats from time to time.  He challenges people to hold eye-contact for a full minute and see what happens.  (All I ask is that people hold eye-contact for two seconds, long enough to connect and register eye-color.)  This eye contact thing - it’s harder than it looks.  #Rehumanization #StartsWithOne

  • Peace With Uncertainty

    One Sharp Sword - Cutting Through To What Matters Most with Dr Wayne Pernell is meant to be thought-provoking and inspiring.  

    This show offers no advice or counsel related to law, finance, or health (either physical or mental).  You are listening at your own discretion and interpreting what you hear in your own way.  This show is meant for entertainment purposes and no claims of enhancement or enrichment of any sort are indicated or implied.  Nope, this show doesn’t promise to make you better looking.  But hey… look at you now!  Listen in!  Enjoy!

    What does it take to get through these uncertain times?  I’m guilty of perhaps overusing the term “pivot.”  And what does that even mean?  What it comes down to is this: 

    • Recognize that uncertainty exists
    • You do not have to have all of the answers for everyone
    • Be VERY particular about where you get your information
    • Make momentary decisions based on your new information
    • Course correct based on new information
    • Recognize you’ve been uncertain before and you’ve gotten through
    • Know where you’re headed (that makes course correction a lot easier)
    • Engage with wonder and curiosity. Doing so allows you to make peace with uncertainty.

    • Too many leaders are tied up trying to catch up
    • Business has fallen back to the transaction and the “deal”
    • It’s time to remember what matters most - the RELATIONSHIP you have with your organization, your team members, your customers, your vendors, the community, and your family
    • Remember that Re-Lation-Ship means the state of coming together again.  Who do you need to connect with, and how?
    • Bringing your Powerful Presence is a must!  
    • There’s no 50/50 in a relationship.  It must be 100/100 and even if the other doesn’t bring 100, you keep showing up.
    • Dear leader, you lead the way; show up in the way that you want to have others follow or join you.  Be clear, be compassionate, be uplifting.  
    • Know your values
    • Set your strategy based on those values
    • Communicate what you believe in and where you’re heading

  • Powerful Presence

    One Sharp Sword - Cutting Through To What Matters Most with Dr Wayne Pernell is meant to be thought-provoking and inspiring.

    Who doesn’t want that, a powerful presence?  What does that mean?  In working with serious high performers, I’ll tell you that it’s not bravado.  It’s not bullying.  It’s showing up in a way that you engage others by lifting them and gain support from them.  

    Several tips are offered for stepping into your Powerful Presence, especially as you wind down at bedtime and when you awaken in the morning.

    Set your tone for the day by stepping into your Powerful Presence.

  • Interview with Jenny Randolph

    One Sharp Sword - Cutting Through To What Matters Most with Dr Wayne Pernell is meant to be thought-provoking and inspiring.  

    This show offers no advice or counsel related to law, finance, or health (either physical or mental).  You are listening at your own discretion and interpreting what you hear in your own way.  This show is meant for entertainment purposes and no claims of enhancement or enrichment of any sort are indicated or implied.  Nope, this show doesn’t promise to make you better looking.  But hey… look at you now!  Listen in!  Enjoy!

    Jenny was an attorney on an amazingly enviable path.  But her gut told her something was off about her direction.  Most people would have fought that.  She opened up to it and left law.  She went through three serious relationships on her journey to a spiritual awakening.  

    She now teaches people how to let go of who they were (ala One Sharp Sword, both cutting through and cutting out).  Her work involves spiritual guides who seem pretty accurate from the receiving end.  

    Her gems in this interview include:

    • Letting go so that you can be true to your real self
    • Undoing past beliefs
    • Stop hiding as a way of trying to fit in
    • Ultimately, start being who you were meant to be and stop being who you thought you should be.

    Are you floating through this pandemic wondering what’s next?

    Or, are you taking control and using this to leverage what’s IN and what’s OUT for you.  

    This is a time for STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP and a time to make some decisions.  You’ve already decided on what was important. Now assess whether the results of binge-watching TV or working on your “stuff” or spending more time with your family (in person or online) are where your priorities really lay.

    Who are you choosing to become?

    How will you step into your next new normal?

  • Humanity At The Grocery Store
    While shopping for groceries, most patrons were wearing masks.  Some had masks over their mouth but not nose (why bother). What I noticed, though, bugged me a lot. 
    While politely keeping a distance, very few people actually made eye contact. People stared at where they were headed and/or at my cart’s front panel.  Hello - it’s me, a human.
    Social distancing, physical distancing, doesn’t mean dehumanizing.

  • Erika Gerdes Interview
    Erika’s work is about The Art of Undoing
    There’s a difference between influence and true authority
    Lead with authority
    You don’t get happy, you choose happy
    Don’t live in your fear stories; “undo” those limiting beliefs
    Undo and get to the authentic
    Erika is a former global business executive at Google who changed her trajectory instead of carrying on in the land of “supposed to.” She is a mentor and speaker on the art of undoing, leading to greater authenticity and stronger leaders

  • True Colors
    What is happening out there?? Crazy, right? There are people who live in lack. The mindset is that there isn’t enough and that they’ll hoard so that they’ll always have. There are others who seemingly have so little. And yet, they’re the ones willing to share so much. They will always have enough.
    It’s something that we each need to model. Being present for others. The world needs more of that right now. Let those true colors shine through!
