This episode is my look back at 2022 and what this year brought to me as a person and as a professional.

Thanks for supporting the show for over a year now!

Without you, this adventure would not be possible.

Massive gratitude and see you in 2023!

From serving in the Navy to transitioning to PR and communication and reaching the highest position of a major corporation, David J. Albritton, ACC had it all.

Until his daughter got leukemia.

This is where David turned his whole life around to become a coach and mentor, serving in multiple environments, from top executives to students in college and veterans.

Check what David shared with me:

🫶 Your belief system is the foundation of your success

🍀 It is all about CHANGE, CHANCE and CHOICE

🪖 The military teaches you what true decision making is

🤝 You ARE NOT a leader by title. You need to EARN your leadership

🙏 You can never say thank you enough (hey Barbie Layton, sounds familiar ❤️)

His biggest question to motivate himself: "How many people have I helped?"

Our conversation was full of learnings and good vibes.

This episode made me think a lot of the new 9-month coaching journey we created for teams cohesion: "Teams In Adversity" where we help people move from a 'team of greats' to a 'great team'.

Thank you Shmiko Cole for connecting us ❤️

Some people have an insatiable curiosity. Of everything. And everyone.

I found one: please meet Corina Goetz 💫

Corina is the founder of Star-CaT and her purpose is to give you all the tools you need to succeed in the Middle East.

As a child of East Germany - that used to be under Soviet influence, the comment she often got was:

"Oh you are from the East?". With sometimes superiority or despise in the voice. And it hurt.

"Oh you are from Saudi Arabia?". Same question. Same eyebrows raised. Pre-cooked images in the mind of people (including mine for so many topics).

Corina refuses prejudice and early judgement. And she actively works for the understanding of people from different cultures. That is a part of her job and she does it brilliantly.

You will LOVE our conversation and Corina's energy and immense expertise.

Corina talks about:

❌ Why most of the things we THINK we know about Middle East are probably wrong

👐 How curiosity helps you create real bonds with people of all walks of life

🇸🇦 Why KSA (Saudi Arabia) is THE place to discover in the world today

🏨 What it is like to be a woman in the hospitality industry and why it need to CHANGE

🥶 BONUS: Why cold water showers and swims are her recipe for health and happiness

And MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩!!!

I ended the recording of the episode FULL OF ENERGY 🤩 and positive vibes.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

This one caught me by surprise.

An epic conversation with Dr. Harvey Schuck about doctor and patient engagement became a CX and EX masterclass 🤩

Harvey is a physician working in 'Extended Urgent Care' in Atlanta, Georgia, a unit that sees patients who can't / won't go to Emergency Room in a public hospital.

What I learned through the 35 years of experience of Harvey is simply magnificent and I hope you will find the same depth in our conversation than I did.

One element will stay in my mind forever after our chat: GET INVOLVED AND INVOLVE. This advice is gold.

Here are some snippets of what Harvey talks about:

❌ The Healthcare American System is broken

⏱ You have 30 sec to connect with a patient

🧑‍⚕️ Medicine is more an art than a technical job

❤️ Why his role is NOT to make people better BUT to make them FEEL better

😣 What burnout really is

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Why 'nice doctors have nice teams'

And SO MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩

If you work in the medical / healthcare field and in any service job, you can't miss this conversation: it is full of gems 🌟 you can use in your daily practice, right away.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

Enthusiasm. A word I LOVE ❤️.

Rijn Vogelaar has made it his topic of scientific and life research at Leiden University.

Imagine the pleasure I took to have a conversation with Rijn for nearly 2 hours 🤩

Rijn tells us about:

👍 Ways to approach negativity and deal with it

🧠 Why our brain is still programmed to focus on issues and self-preservation and what we can do about it

💥 How enthusiasm helps us decide and take risks

😢 Why enthusiastic people feel lonely at work

🧑‍💻 His work on IT health - the relationship between our use of digital tools and our mental health

and much, much more 🤩

You will discover why we can choose enthusiasm as a massive asset to live the life we want.

After Episode 20 with Christopher Lembke, it is the perfect time to take a step back and ask 👉 YOU 👈 a few questions.

I need you to continue on this adventure. Your voice matters now more than ever.

So tell me your answers either on LinkedIn Message (Joe Sejean) or on my IG @peoplenotnumberspodcast.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME IN THIS INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE 🙏🙏🙏

I usually love to find a punchline to introduce my guests. This time, I couldn’t: there were too many options!

Christopher Lembke is THE guest you want to discover in this episode if:

📈 You believe we should change the way business is done

❌ You sometimes have the feeling you don’t fit it

🌌 You understand / feel we are multidimensional beings evolving in multiple dimensions at the same time

⚡️ You want to know how to change your level of vibration (or you are curious about the notion) and thrive

🤩 You want to stop resisting the flow and touch your full potential

BONUS: 😤 You experience road rage (like me) and want to learn practical ways to master it

The list is endless [I made a huge effort to stop it here 😅]

I had a few breakthroughs during our conversation. One of them will stay with me for the rest of my life ❤️:

“Pain in inevitable, suffering is optional”.

Chris shares with us very concrete tools 🛠 to navigate through life. He is all about abundance, joy, connection with self, others and everything that surrounds us.

Sit down and relax, you are about to embark into a delightful conversation 🤲, fluid, human, deep, rich, so real.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!
