This week we are heading to Phoenix, Arizona in the United States, and chatting with our guest Dr. Benah Parker.

Dr. Parker is a social psychologist, executive coach, and business consultant, who helps high-performing leaders identify their blind spots and uncover what's missing so they can transform their lives and careers to feel aligned with their own goals, have boundaries and balance, and get their life back.

Benah works with entrepreneurs and leaders from national non-profits and Fortune 500 companies to move the needle on desired outcomes.

Whether the goal is organizational transformation, professional growth, or personal development, she integrates applied psychology to help leaders live a life that is aligned with their dreams.

Together, they build resilience, explore limiting beliefs and conditioned behaviors, and create the habits that support desired changes.

Additionally, Benah provides insights and solutions and facilitate changes that lead to improved creativity, productivity, and fulfillment.

Her strength comes from showing up with authenticity and a passion for impacting the greater good with an intentional, mindful approach to executive coaching and life transformation.

Benah is a breast cancer survivor, mother of teenagers, and an entrepreneur, so she is very well-versed in juggling all that life can throw our way.

This is a wonderful way to get the new quarter started, so please get yourself ready for our discussion with Dr Benah Parker about the pursuit of motivation and values alignment when seeking career meaning and purpose.

Today, it's my turn once again – And yes, I'm flying solo – Why? Well as some of you will know it means just one thing - we are going to be wrapping up our quarter and in this case Qtr. 1 for 2024.

So, today I'm not traveling, I've just come back from a trip to Spain where I was delivering an Executive Development program for a large global organization. But today I'm staying put and sitting here in my Shanghai office.

WOW, can you believe that we are already at the end of this 1st Quarter. We have had another 12 amazing leaders join us and generously share their experiences, knowledge, and insights which is so highly appreciated.

Therefore, as we do on the 13th week of each quarter, today we are going to look back over that guest line-up and touch on the highlights of our conversation.

Alright so, let's jump in and start with our guest line-up over the past 12 weeks. By now you may be familiar with the approach - we chunk our episodes into 4 blocks of 3 weeks at a time.

And thanks to our marketing team we're able to incorporate the promotional intros that we did with each guest to save you listening to my wonderfully monotone voice the entire time.

Yes, I know – you are already sitting there saying Amen to that!

This week we are heading to Austin Texas, in the United States and chatting with Dr. Benjamin Ritter, founder of Live For Yourself Consulting which he established in 2016.

Benjamin is a leadership and career coach, Talent Development Executive, Values geek, international speaker, online instructor of the course "Be The Leader of Your Own Career and Create a Career you love."

In addition, and through LFY Consulting, Benjamin offers consulting services for senior leaders and entrepreneurs that feel stuck or unfulfilled at work.

Ranging from 1:1 coaching, group workshops, and talent development programs, LFY Consulting cares deeply about creating a world where work and organizations are sources of meaning.

Benjamin's clients tend to be senior managers to executives, are overworked, overwhelmed, or underutilized, and lack clarity, confidence, and control over their careers.

They are unsure about next steps in terms of their work or business, and despite professional success do not feel successful.

In short, Benjamin works with individuals to develop their personal brand, get clear on the work they were meant to do, and grow that into a meaningful career either in an organization or out on their own.

LFY Consulting bases its programs on two distinct and exclusive coaching systems, The Three C's of Self Leadership© – Clarity, Confidence, and Control, and The LIVE System© – Life, Intentions, Values, and Expectations.

Benjamin is also host of two Podcasts – The Executive, and The live for yourself revolution.

As I'm guessing you can tell TEAM Dr Benjamin Ritter brings enormous value to the table for his clients and I'm expecting our conversation is going to be equally powerful.

And we're here to connect with our guest, Ms. Karen Brown, a focused athlete, having competed, as an amateur, in the Ironman World Championship and numerous Ultra Marathon events worldwide as well as holding down a career that spans 30 years as a Corporate Executive and since 2012 as founder of the company, Exponential Results.

She is often called upon to be a subject-matter expert on leadership, is a frequent podcast guest, and has given presentations and keynotes on leadership for organizations.

As I'm keen on visiting exotic locations, and in this instance, both my wife and I share a similar desire to visit Malta, and so we're excited to mark this as our first step.

This is without doubt one of his biggest passions in life, and he brings to the stage his personal experiences not only as a mindset consultant, but also as an entrepreneur, a father, and a human being just like the rest of us on this planet. You'll find his fun and easygoing manner come through during our conversation in the way he conveys his message, which allows you to feel at ease, be empowered, and ultimately get the results you want. He's also the author of the Consumer Educational Guide, How to Step into the Magic of the Successful Entrepreneur Now, plus he's co-author of the international bestselling book, Making Waves.
