- How To Use Non-Verbal Communication To Own The Room
Some people just seem to have the natural ability to capture a room, the moment they walk in. Do you ever wonder how they do it? Wish that you could do the same?
Rachel Cossar, is the founder and lead facilitator for Choreography For Business, a consulting practice that focuses on embodying confidence and competence in the workplace. Ten years ago Rachel was dancing principal roles at the Boston Ballet. At one time she was also a member of Canada’s National Rhythmic Gymnastic Team.
Today she stands in front of corporate audiences and shares with them the things she learned about non-verbal communication.
Rachel’s story is fascinating on so many levels. Discussion topics include:
- The power imbalance between men and women in the world of ballet
- The reality that she never once experienced any kind of “Me Too” situation and why she believes that was the case
- How anyone can use non-verbal communication to increase confidence and outcomes
- How creative artists can use their natural abilities to create business opportunities
- The key lessons she learned in her dance career and how she applies those lessons to business
- How she created a life where she spends 80%+ of her time doing things she loves

- Why A Simple Act Of Kindness Can Save A Life | Marnie Grundman
When Marnie Grundman was 5 years old her mother deliberately dropped her out of a 2nd story window.
As a teenager she spent years living on the streets where she experienced the worst of humanity first-hand. In her darkest hours while living in an apartment complex sauna, she was sure that everyone who knew her had forgotten that she even existed. It was in those desperate hours that she decided she was paying up front for a better life that lay ahead.
Marnie’s determination to find that better life was fueled by a promise she made to her guardian angel. She swore that she would never sell her body for money and would never take drugs. She kept her promise.
Today Marnie is a mother of 3 and a tireless advocate for the missing, working to change the perception of runaway children so they might finally get the help they desperately need. Her TedX talk, titled “Nothing Bad Happens Behind Pretty Doors” dispels the myth that all runaways come from the wrong side of the tracks. The facts tell us otherwise.
There are so many lessons for us in this episode. Marnie is proof that our current circumstances do not have to define our future. We learn how a simple act of guidance by her guardian angel saved her life. It might surprise you to know her guardian angel was a prostitute.
And perhaps most importantly Marnie challenges all of us to be kinder, to carry coins in our pocket to give to the homeless, to make eye contact. To do otherwise is to reinforce their belief that they are worthless.

- How To Get Your Dream Career | Brian Breen
Brian Breen sent in a wildcard application to run in the World Ironman Competition knowing that most people have to apply 10-15 times before they are accepted.
When he learned he had been entered in the competition he trained 25 hours a week for four months. Brian achieved his goal because he had a powerful cause. He wanted to shine the lite on Jon Blais, who the previous year completed the World Ironman event while struggling with ALS. A year later Jon was at the finish line, in a wheelchair, waiting to greet Brian. Catch the Youtube Clip here.
Brian is a Career Strategist and Mentor who has worked with hundreds, if not thousands of students. He uses his Ironman experience to explain the importance of attaching yourself to something important. When we do that, we win. Because we never quit. If what we’re chasing is attached to something monetary or tied to someone else’s expectations, when times get tough, most people quit.
This episode is full of advice for anyone questioning their direction in life. He challenges us all to look for the things in life that fill our souls, and to commit ourselves to moving forward. Always forward.
Brian knew he wanted to teach, but he didn’t want to teach math or history. He wanted to share with young people tools and knowledge they can use to take control of their own career path.

- There Is Always A Way | Yospeh Elkaim
“You’re either a Doctor, a Lawyer, or a Failure.”
And to avoid confusion, Doctor means one that can write prescriptions.
Like many children of middle eastern immigrants to the United States, this is the message that was conveyed to Yoseph Elkaim when he wa growing up..
Yoseph went the lawyer route but soon decided that business was where his heart was. So he found a way to carve out a highly successful career.
Along the way he was fortunate enough to work for Leon Panetta, who shared with him 6 secrets to success in life. Yoseph shares those secrets in this episode and so much more.
He explains why he loves to be underestimated. How some people crumble when a wall stands between them and the things they want in life. Yoseph breaks down the walls.
He recalls the time he was at a client meeting, felt a little strange, then woke up 2 days later in the hospital. When his business partner told Yoseph that he’d had a heart attack, Yoseph’s first question was “did we get the deal?” He was 38 at the time.
And he talks about how that moment changed his life. This is a riveting discussion from one of the smartest and most articulate guests I’ve has on this show.
And to think I played hard to get when Yoseph first reached out to me to be on Screw the Naysayers!
