Finding your purpose and retaining employees are two top-of-mind topics for leaders during this Great Resignation. 

In our conversation with Juliet Hahn we uncover the power of storytelling in both efforts, as we dig into Juliet's personal story and that of the women (including many wives of NFL players) that she interviews for her podcast series, YNS Live with NFL Thread.

About Juliet:
Juliet Hahn is a storyteller, consultant, keynote speaker and content creator.  Her mission in life is to give Women and Men a stage to share their stories.  She believes deeply that everyone has a story and we all can learn from each other.  We just need to listen. 

Your Next Stop and YNS Live highlights people who have followed a purpose/passion and made it into a career. These shows are inspiring and will get you thinking! YNS live with NFL Thread a series within YNS Live dives deep to understand who NFL women are and what motivates them. YNS Live chips away at the perception of NFL women and showcases their talents, initiatives and missions. 

Your Next Stop Workshop was born directly from season 2 of Your Next Stop Podcast. Juliet wants to help people tap into their creative passion and turn that into a career.
Juliet is also passionate about helping people be able to tell their own stories. To connect their story to their own careers.  Stories connect people.

Juliet and her husband Dan call Remsenburg, New York their home.  Their three children and two boxers, love living in this beautiful beach community and love being part of Juliet’s Crazytown.

Episode AKA "Yes, You CAN Lead with Baby Barf On Your Sweater"

You don't have to change who you are (or how much laundry you got done last week) to be an effective leader.  We need you to lead now, just as you are.

In my conversation with Sarah K. Peck of StartUp Parent and host of the StartUp Parent Podcast, we dig into this truth as well as:

• Sarah's (naked) swim from Alcatraz to raise $33K for charity (Brrrr!)
• Behind-the-scenes of building a business 
• Critical leadership skills that are learned from parenting
• The big component that your morning routine is likely missing
• The value of being part of a community of leaders
• How to have more of an impact while working less
• Creative and kind ways set boundaries and to say "no"

About Sarah:
Sarah K Peck is the founder and CEO of Startup Parent and the host of The Startup Parent Podcast, an award-winning podcast featuring women in entrepreneurship, business, and parenting. She runs The Wise Women’s Council, an annual leadership program for women to come together honestly while navigating the challenges of working and parenting. 

Sarah’s professional career started in environmental psychology and the design of environments. She pursued a Bachelors of Arts in psychology and a Masters Degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Design. She worked as an associate on international design projects of the built environment before charting out a path in media and communications to help change the way we talk about the world around us and how it influences our behavior and wellbeing. In 2011, Sarah began consulting with Y-Combinator backed startups, and launched her own consultancy in 2013. Today, she’s the CEO and founder of Startup Parent, a company focused on the narratives we share (and the ones we don’t share) about work, parenting, and motherhood.

Sarah is also a 20-time NCAA All-American swimmer and has successfully swum the Escape from Alcatraz nine separate times, once doing the swim totally naked as way to raise $33k for charity: water. Her writing and work have been featured on Forbes, Inc, Fast Company, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and more. She lives in New York City with her family.

As parents, our most important leadership role is at home. 

But sometimes it's easy to forget that. The rush to get everyone fed and where they need to be on time or the desire to spare our kids the pain of failure leads us to take leadership shortcuts. We take over, do things ourselves...in order to make sure it's done right and efficiently. In doing so, we limit our kids' abilities to develop into leaders themselves.

In today's conversation with former prosecutor turned parenting coach, Christy Keating, we discuss strategies for raising our kids to be the future leaders the world needs (and we have a bonus conversation about what Christy calls "extreme leadership": how to find what fulfills us in any job).

About Christy:
Christy Keating is the founder and CEO of The Heartful Parent.  Christy loves helping parents find more love, joy, and connection in their families and with their children by helping them discover newfound energy in their parenting, develop an appreciation for what they have and who they are, and create sustainable ways to achieve their vision or dream for their family.  

Christy is a Certified Parent Coach® , a Certified Positive Discipline Instructor, a Certified Instructor with the Gottman Institute.  She is also a long-time leader and speaker at the Program for Early Parent Support, 

In addition to her work as a parent coach, Christy is a licensed attorney and former prosecutor of 20 years with an expertise in the prosecution of sexually violent predators, as well as an active member of the National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation.  Through The Heartful Parent’s sister company, Savvy Parents Safe Kids, Christy offers child safety workshops, presentations, and consulting to both parents and professionals.

As leaders, we play many roles.  We pride ourselves on playing them well.

But what happens when those roles are stripped away?  Do we know who we truly are?

Our conversation today with coach Crystal Freie focuses on just that:  Getting to our leadership core so that we can bring our whole selves to our leadership and build deeper and more trusting relationships.

As we look to our 2022 leadership development, this is a great place to start.

About Crystal:
Crystal Freie is a dynamic, motivating, and inspiring Empowerment Coach and Speaker, helping women of faith eliminate their limiting beliefs, embrace change, and transform their lives.

As a wife of nearly 20 years, mother of two incredible sons, and former corporate executive, she intimately knows the burden of stress and the struggle and frustration of trying to keep it all together while maintaining balance and harmony in life. She understands what it means to lose your identity to the roles in your life, and the profound impact that has on your happiness and wellbeing.

Through her years of knowledge and experience in overcoming personal and professional setbacks, challenges, and obstacles, she’s developed a heart of deep empathy and understanding for her clients, and a tenacity to help them break down the barriers to living a fulfilling life of purpose and meaning.

She is the Founder & CEO of C. Freie International, LLC, an organization created with the mission to positively impact 1 million women worldwide through empowering them to live as the full expression of who God created them to be and find their path forward.

We'd all like a little order and calm in the chaos of the last two years, wouldn't we?

This episode is NOT about becoming a control freak with our new year's planning.  Instead, it is about how we can remain grounded, resilient, and build on our strengths as leaders and teams as we envision our plans for 2022.

We introduce a simple four-step tool that you can use with your teams, or for yourself to make 2022 a year of positive growth and impact.

Companies spend a fortune on leadership development; and rightfully so, as good leaders make successful organizations.

But did you know that some of the most important leadership skills (emotional intelligence, courage, collaboration) are forged in the experiences of being a parent?  And that research backs this up?

Our guest today, Amy Henderson, one of our nation’s leading voices on the critical role of parenting and caregiving in developing the future of work. 

Our conversation left me encouraged, fascinated, and eager to learn more.  I hope that it will do the same for you.

About Amy:

Amy has three kids and is the founding CEO of TendLab, where she has been working with companies and their parents’ groups at places like Salesforce, Accenture, Cloudflare, Airbnb, Lululemon, and many others to optimize the workplace for parents.  As cited in Forbes for her “truly collaborative nature,” Amy also started and co-leads the Fam Tech Founders Collective, a network of over 130 founders who are solving for the needs of caregivers.  Amy is now working with her team at TendLab to catalyze a movement to change the game for working parents.

During the past 18 months, many of us have taken a hard look at how fulfilled we feel.

 As women leaders, we often feel like we have to sacrifice: 

Want to be fulfilled in your leadership at work or in the community?  Then be ready to make sacrifices at home.  

 Want to be more present with your kids?  Then your work outside of the home will suffer.

Our guest today, Blake Schofield, has a different viewpoint.  As evidenced through her personal story and the stories of the many women she's worked with, you'll see that it is not only possible, but critical to our future that women know that they can be fulfilled in their leadership without making the sacrifices that we traditionally feel that we need to make.  

 Listen, and then join us in doing the work to begin the journey toward alignment and fulfillment.

About Blake: 

Blake Schofield is the Founder of The Bridge to Fulfillment, a mom of three & former corporate executive who spent 18 years in Corporate America building, growing & turning around 8 & 9 figure businesses.

Despite her success, Blake constantly found herself feeling unsettled, chasing the next job or promotion to "make it better" so she could finally do fulfilling work and be able to have the time she wanted to have a less stressful & more present family life.

After two cross country moves and increasing frustration that every job seemed to be more of the same, she finally realized that the career she was in no longer fit.  Blake's personal journey through three career changes, years of seeking the right path for her life, overcoming the fear & doubt of forging a new path, & successfully building and running her own multi six figure business is the basis of the work she does everyday.

Today, Blake & her team help driven, heart-centered professional women, who are at a career crossroads, transition into more fulfilling work & have more time with their families without taking a big pay cut or starting over.
