Great influencers can make a big difference in the way that we interact and grow as leaders. Our perceptions and thoughts about what we can potentially become may be mislead by false idols or hearsay as to what we are supposed to do to be successful. However, today's guest, Kyle Slaymaker, proves that we can learn from those common mistakes and be willing to push ahead if we are able to stay committed with hard work and being able to close the sale. As an Executive Coach and successful entrepreneur, he shares some tips that all of us can certainly relate to in order to become the best versions of ourselves...even if we become a little crazy.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

This episode creates an engaging conversation about your podcast host and some other facts of the business, Your Speaking Voice LLC, others may not know about beyond the surface level. These facts include the following:

1) Coaching is not simply about helping others achieve their goals/overcome problems.

2) Working on yourself does not mean taking on EVERYTHING all at once.

3) I have been both professionally trained and personally experienced to handle many types of coaching scenarios.

4) There are many resources that I can provide to you, as a client, to help you succeed even if I do not have all the answers.

5) Coaching should not be viewed as a luxury, especially if everything is on the line for yourself and your business.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

No matter how far time and space disconnects us, it is often surprising how we are brought back to those who had a profound impact and influence in our early years. Today's guest, Kim Herbein, has personally deep connections with our podcast host that will be rehashed after a long hiatus of not being able to connect, and describes what have been some of the biggest struggles in overcoming both personal and professional endeavors, while at the same time, continuing to push forward to build a lasting lifestyle through the conversations with others and learning to be herself again.

Guest Bio

Kim graduated from Oley Valley High School (Pennsylvania) in 2005, and attended college at Oklahoma State University where she majored in Food Science which she graduated in 2009. She started her job in Reading, PA at Dairy Farmers of America picking up where one of her internships left off, and after 6 years in this role, embarked on a journey into pharmaceutical testing in Lancaster, PA. In 2017 she came back to the dairy industry and into her current role as the QA & Compliance coordinator for Berkshire Dairy and Food Products in Wyomissing, PA, a subsidiary of DFA. In herpersonal time I enjoy helping my parents on our farm and watching her nephews play sports. She also have a Blue Heeler pup that keeps her busy. She is married to her husband Chris since 2018, though we've hit a rough patch in our relationship that has led to some separation & therapy through this rough path. Navigating uncharted waters is certainly something that will make or break you.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

This episode focuses on another service of the business: professional development coaching. This type of coaching is not your normal Career Center office or high school/college guidance counseling for life after you obtain a milestone. This is about not only understanding and working through a career transition, but examining other facets of dissatisfaction, addressing problems at work that need a longer term solution, or some combination of the above to achieve success. This process is examined further to create a better understanding that "looks on the surface" do not translate to what this service can provide.

This is part five of a series of episodes exploring the wide variety of services that Your Speaking Voice LLC provides to interested clients.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

Finding others that will help you to become the best version of yourself, even when others turn the other way, is the most important part of being beautiful. In this episode, our guest, Elizabeth Brown, discusses the importance of being able to look this way not only in front of the camera, but in all facets of her personal and professional life and how she overcame those struggles. This inspirational story will help you realize that it does not matter how you feel about the types of reactions you receive. It is about moving forward and "just doing it" when it counts the most for your overall outlook in life.

Guest Bio

Liz lives in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, where she started her journey as a photographer in 2016. She is the owner and operator of BrownHaven Photography LLC. For her, it's been a slow process as she struggles with math and numbers. She received her first camera in 2016. She used to get photos taken to make her feel beautiful, but was also expensive, and realized not everyone can afford to have pictures taken. She learned to do this for others. In 2020, she learned that she has Dyscalculia, and her whole life made more sense. She struggles with confidence when it comes to work. There is a lot she may not know how to do, and struggles with imposter syndrome but says it doesn't help that there are photographers who have created a box they think photographer should stay in, and does not want to stay in that box. She creates a whole wide world of amazing and affordable photography for everyone through creative art and moments and memories for people that don't cost them an arm and a leg, which helps get past this fear that she is not enough.

This episode focuses on another service of the business: life coaching. No matter what the destination is, goal setting is important for a variety of reasons. It is not simply about goal setting more than getting to the root of what causes inhibitions, guilt, and frustration in moving from a type of old-style thought process to a new one. Through accountability, we can develop new voices that help us to excel in our next adventure.
