  • Ep. 13: Accept the Call to Entrepreneurial Adventure | with Ande Lyons

    Today our expert guest is Ande Lyons, Founder & Chief Possibility Officer of Possibility Partners. She mentors startup and early-stage entrepreneurs, while providing tools and resources to help them launch, brand, and build their businesses.

    We discuss what the entrepreneurial “call to adventure” is, how she empowers entrepreneurs, and how you can build a business that succeeds.

     

    Bring Back Desire

    Before Possibility Partners, Ande launched three businesses, one of which was Bring Back Desire: “A tasteful, playful website sharing tips, tools and resources for women who want more intimacy, sensuality and sexual excitement in their lives.”

    After 3½ years of success, she didn’t hear a calling from the business anymore, and she was always driven by passion and purpose. Eventually, she heard a new call...

     

    Guiding Entrepreneurial Adventurers

    “Every event brings you a deeper relationship with your beloved self and your beloved life, and this is especially true for the courageous, entrepreneurial adventurer.“

    Ande’s core value has always been shining a spotlight and enhancing others, so she fits very naturally in the startup world. She’s able use her business to serve people, and help them be more positive, by bringing out their unique gifts and guiding them on the path to adventure.

    You can find tips for entrepreneurs in Ande’s new video series: Ask Ande Startup Solutions

     

    Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

    “You have to build those ‘comfortable being uncomfortable’ muscles.”

    Risk and opportunity are inseparable, so being risk averse can prevent entrepreneurs from taking full advantage of their skills and opportunities. However, with help, you can learn how to stay focused on what you need to accomplish despite feelings of uncertainty.

     

    The Brand Promise

    “You have to build your brand from the heart.”

    The entrepreneurial space is crowded, so you will be confronted with thousands of other people doing something similar to what you do. The only way entrepreneurs can differentiate themselves is through their brand promise, or the emotional connection between you and your audience.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

    “Life happens for you – not to you. Every event brings you a deeper relationship with your beloved self and your beloved life, and this is especially true for the courageous, entrepreneurial adventurer.”

  • Ep. 12: Learning to Allow Your Magnificence | with Susan Winter

    Today our expert guest is Susan Winter, a bestselling author and relationship expert specializing in higher thinking for an evolving world. She writes, speaks, and coaches on cutting-edge partnership models, as well as traditional relationship challenges, from a platform that fosters self-esteem and personal empowerment.

    Susan’s first book, Older Women/Younger Men, opened the hearts and minds of readers worldwide to the validity of this type of age-gap love. Susan’s second book, Allowing Magnificence, completely reframes how we view life’s challenges, empowering the reader to reconnect with the limitless power they already possess.

    Susan continues to write about relationships and love as a contributing writer for The Huffington Post and The Good Men Project.

     

    Older Women/Younger Men

    “When our authenticity collides with what we are doing, we make a choice that is right for us… and it may not be the choice that others endorse.”

    Susan wrote her first book after one of her relationships caused a literal witch hunt: she had a TV show called Higher Ground throughout the North East, and a petition was sent to local outlets claiming she was a witch and a prostitute (and a lesbian).

    She can laugh at it now, but at the time it was very hurtful. They couldn’t just be in love; she had to have him under a spell, and there had to be something perverted about it.

     

    Allowing Magnificence

    “The things that we call challenges can actually be reframed.”

    Susan’s second book is, thematically, radically different.

    Throughout most of her life, Susan doubted her take on the world; her internal answer was always so different from her parents and everybody else around her.

    Through a series of dating mishaps and research, Susan started to trust herself – and she gave herself permission to live a life driven by her own understanding of the world. Life is guiding us, and most challenges can be reframed as something trying to reroute you to a new path.

    In today’s modern world, with all of our shifting technology and social media, nothing beats character, and nothing you do is more beats who you are when you do it.

  • Ep. 11: Living with Purpose at the Intersection of Life & Leadership | with Alli Polin

    Today our expert guest is Alli Polin, a former senior executive with deep experience in leadership, change management, and organization development who is driven to help others create a full life and achieve professional success. We discuss how people can achieve success through Personal Leadership, and how parents can foster leadership in their kids.

    Alli’s award-winning blog, Break the Frame, draws on leadership lessons from daily life as a catalyst for breakthrough change and inspires people to engage more purposefully at the intersection of life and leadership.

    She also wrote one of the 16 stories in Energize Your Leadership: Discover, Ignite, Break Through, a book that helps people discover new ways to get energized, ignite energy in others, and ignite their workplace to break through and create a dynamic future.

     

    What is the difference between Organizational Leadership & Personal Leadership?

    “We’re all leaders of our lives. We’re all theoretically able to take control and make decisions for ourselves, and that’s not based on where we work.” –Alli Polin

    Organizational leadership is typically based on hierarchy, and the people have accountability and responsibility based on their position.

    Personal Leadership has very little to do with your level. It’s really about being true to living with your values, living with integrity, and leading your life.

     

    How does someone develop Personal Leadership skills?

    There are three elements of personal leadership that you have to develop: Confidence, Competence, and Creativity.

    1. The Confidence to speak up and stand up for what you believe in, and for others (whether it’s a personal relationship or an organizational setting).
    2. Competence is continuing to grow yourself, invest in yourself, and learn more about yourself.
    3. Creativity is about intentionally stretching yourself and challenging yourself to get out of the rut of daily life, and to bring a spark of change. Creativity isn’t about being an artist – it’s about finding new pathways that diverge from the old.

     

    Everyday Leadership

    Everyday Leadership is an idea very closely connected to Personal Leadership, and the central conceit is simple: leadership doesn’t only belong in a board room.

    When you go out of your way to offer small acts of kindness, help people feel less alone, and generally acknowledging other people’s humanity, you are practicing Everyday Leadership.

     

    The Parent’s Guide to Leadership

    One of Alli’s passions is fostering leadership in children, which led her to co-authoring the Parent’s Guide to Leadership.

    Alli and her co-author share personal stories, the lessons that those stories taught them, and what they then taught their children about being leaders.

    They also include activities, book recommendations, conversation starters, coloring pages, and more ways to engage with your child on the topic of leadership.

     

    The best part? The book is free! Click here to sign up for updates about the publication of the upcoming children’s picture book, I’m Not a Leader, and get immediate access to the Parent’s Guide to Leadership.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

    A cornerstone of Personal Leadership is taking responsibility for your choices. “Don’t shoot for a busy life with bragging rights. Create a full life that’s filled with more than one dimension and, whatever it is you value … don’t wait until you retire to honor those values – do it now.”

  • Ep. 10: Be an Opportunity Maker | with Kare Anderson

    Today our expert guest is Kare Anderson, an Emmy-winning former NBC and Wall Street Journal reporter, now connective behavior speaker and columnist for Forbes and Huffington Post.

    In Kare’s TEDTalk, The Web of Humanity: Becoming an Opportunity Maker, she mentions being a phobically shy, stuttering young girl. However, a couple influential teachers and mentors gave her opportunities to find greater motivation.

     

    “It’s hard to overcome something. It’s easier to supplant something with a greater motivation.”

     

    One of these mentors helped her realize that was insatiably curious with a talent for asking questions, and that was the greatest thing he taught her: “the capacity to tell someone about a talent they have, that they’re unaware of, is wonderful.”

    It’s vital that we learn more about ourselves because, until we know how we’re wired, we are living life reactively.

    These experiences were incredibly influential in Kare’s life, and they led her to studying and speaking about connective human behavior.

     

    Communicating to Connect

    One of the behaviors she’s studied is how people can communicate to connect.

    • The key, she believes, is specificity. Once we get specific, we gain greater self-clarification and people listen sooner – so specificity not only increases clarity, but also credibility and memorability.
    • Incorporate Triangle Talk: address someone else’s interest, confirm that is of interest to them, and suggest a way your interests coincide.
    • Speak with AIR: make your communications Actionable, Interesting, and Relevant.

     

    Opportunity Makers

    It’s increasingly important that we connect with others because the world needs more opportunity makers: people can see an opportunities or problems and then forge the right team to solve a problem or seize an opportunity, better and faster than others.

    An important skill for solving problems, especially in our politically polarized climate, is fostering mutuality: the ability to draw people away from conflict by creating or offering a better and mutually-appreciated action.

    Kare believes that, if we want a more meaningful life that’s more adventurous, we should embrace the opportunity to bring the right people together to support an action that matters to them – and we should take any opportunity to support others by highlighting their positive aspects, even if they’re not aware of it themselves.

    By being mindful of others in this way, and supporting them, we can connect others and help them find mutuality.

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

    Specificity is key to almost anything in life, so Kare wants you to think about two things:

    1. What is your highest mission in life? Describe it in a way that is so concrete that other people understand what you mean.
    2. What are the 2-3 hot buttons that cause you to be most reactionary?

     

    By getting clear about those things, you’ll have a better understanding of what you might want to do differently in your daily life, and who you might want to bring into it.

  • Ep. 9: Leadership Empowerment: How to Lead from Where You Are | with Terri Klass

    Today our expert guest is Terri Klass, a leadership training consultant and speaker who partners with organizations to create cultures of empowerment and develop future leadership. She believes that, regardless of your position or title, anyone can be a leader.

    Terri delivers highly successful leadership workshops, writes a weekly blog on the challenges leaders face daily, and co-authored the book Energize Your Leadership: Discover, Ignite, Break Through.

     

    What does leadership empowerment mean?

    Terri defines Empowerment as “the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.”

    Leadership empowerment takes it to the next level because we really need to take initiative to make something better in our personal or professional lives. To become more confident, stronger, and gain more control over our lives, we need to take action by leveraging our unique gifts and talents.

    Leadership empowerment also involves taking responsibility and holding ourselves accountable for our own actions.

     

    We all need control over our own lives, or to steer the boat of our own life’s direction.

    However, sometimes something happens and we feel out of control. That’s when we need to locate our unique strengths and figure out how we can use them to take the control back.

    We can discover our unique gifts by…

    • Paying attention to why other people come to us for help. What are the specific things people turn to you for?
    • Asking people that you trust, and feel confident with, what they perceive as our strengths.

     

    Lead from where you are. You don’t need a title or a crown – you can lead from any position.

    “The only thing we need to do, if we want to lead, is take action, take responsibility, and make a difference.” –Terri Klass

    As long as we do our best and try to add value, we are leading, and through that we will keep growing.

    You can’t empower everyone within an organization to lead from where they are if you don’t, first, create a culture of accountability.

    Accountability is when everybody feels like they are part of something – a team and a vision. If they feel like they belong, and they feel like their contributions are appreciated, then everyone starts to perform at their peak.

     

    What happens when there’s conflict, and people don’t feel empowered?

    The most important part of dealing with conflict is listening. If you keep an open mind and an open heart, you can really hear how another person is feeling and understand their perspective.

    Often, at the heart of conflict is a difference in perspective. If we talk about our different perspectives and come to a mutual understanding of how they’re different, we can figure out ways to blend those perspectives together.

    The big thing we DON’T want to do is blame someone else when there is conflict – that’s the opposite of being accountable.

    Energize Your Leadership shares stories from 16 different leaders about how each of them became exhausted and overwhelmed by conflict, and how they overcame those obstacles. It’s not a textbook – it’s all human stories that we can relate to.

     

     

    The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway

    “We all can lead from wherever we are, regardless of our title; regardless of our position. No matter where we are in life, we can be leaders. We don’t need to wait for someone to ask us to step up – we can step up ourselves and make the first move to help others, and in helping others actually help grow ourselves”

    His latest book, Huge in High School: Fitness for Life, has started a grassroots movement to help parents and students build a framework that establishes the foundation for long-term success.

    Greg started weight lifting when he was 12 years old, and (inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger) he continued to practice bodybuilding throughout high school. This practice created the foundation for Greg’s future goals and lifestyle.

    Juggling body building and typical high school life requires a rigid schedule – wake up, go to school, work out, do homework, eat, go to bed, repeat. The discipline stuck with Greg, and it still helps him get things done.

    Greg’s experience highlights something important: the things we do in our formative years stick with us, for better or for worse, and they can lead us to our passions. You are building a foundation for your life as you enter adulthood, and laying a structured foundation can help you in the long term.

    Do you want to join the #HugeInHighschool movement? If you’re in high school (or you know somebody who is), share something that you do and you are passionate about on social media using the hashtag. It doesn’t have to be related to fitness – It’s all about developing the discipline and courage it takes to live a big life that is right for YOU.
