The ET project

Hello and welcome to the ET Project. I'm your host, Wayne Brown, and as usual, we're delighted to be delivering this podcast for executive talent all over the world whom we're affectionately referring to as Team ET.

And yes, this is week five, and I'm still doing the rounds in the USA with today's guest, Ms. Minette Norman, sitting in Fairfax, California. And as a point of reference, that's a little north of Silicon Valley. Minette Norman is an author, speaker, and leadership consultant who previously spent decades leading global technical teams in the software industry.

Minette has extensive experience in leading internationally distributed teams and believes that when groups embrace diversity in all its forms, breakthroughs emerge and innovation accelerates. Before branching out on her own consultancy business, Minette was Vice President of Engineering Practice at Autodesk.

During the conversation, we touch on the challenges of working with diverse teams and the ways that leaders can apply themselves to overcome those obstacles. It is really a very timely discussion with so many leaders struggling to cope with virtual, globally constructed teams.

And of course, we also speak about Minette's two books

1. The Psychological Safety Playbook
2. Boldy Inclusive Leader - which releases this month

Hello, I'm your host, Wayne Brown, and welcome to the ET Project. We're delighted to be delivering this podcast for executive talent all over the world, whom we're affectionately referring to as team ET.

Today we're off to the greater Seattle area in Washington state. For the non-Americans, this is located at the top northwest corner of the USA and it's not Washington DC which is on the East Coast and where you'll find the White House, this is so often a point of confusion for many of us. We're heading to Seattle to visit our guest, Ms. Sharon Rolph.

As a behavioral scientist, and an essence and retirement coach, Sharon is known as the queen of courage. After working 50-plus years in the corporate world, and being a maximizer, she loves to bring out the best in people. She's passionate about helping others find their joy, helping them repurpose their unique talent, experience, knowledge, and values into their defined sparks so that life becomes an effortless, priceless expression of themself.

For most of her life, Sharon felt invisible. And when she retired, wondered how she'd know if she was being productive. Today, at the young age of 75, Sharon is a motivational influencer. Her days now feel right since finding her spark.

This transformation that Sharon experienced is now offered to her clients. Sharon's sparkle, passion, and youthful appearance are easily confirmed. Mental strength and faith have given her a healthy lifestyle. And the concept of potential has intrigued Sharon from a very young age, and she loves to help others find their uniqueness. That's what she sees in people from their behavioral science perspective. She inspires curiosity and possibility in everybody.

And we are heading there to visit our guest, Ms. Kara Payton. Ms. Payton is an author, motivational speaker, authenticity strategist, and subconscious reprogramming expert. She's a top 10 ranked podcast host with five years of experience in advanced production and volunteer team building for Tony Robbins.

As the host of the Happiness Habit Podcast and founder of Re-authenticated, she helps people create an identity of freedom through authenticity, so they can end self-abandonment, heal their nervous system of emotional addictions and stop keeping the secret of you.

She's a sought-after thought leader specializing in intensive transformation in the behavioral health field.

Today we are off to one of my favorite regions on this great earth. The Colorado Rockies and capital city of Denver, which today is home to our guest Mr. Terry Tucker.

Terry is a sought-after speaker who believes in the power of a good story to motivate, inspire, and help people lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives. His mission is to consistently enrich and improve lives through inspiring, diverse, and uplifting content, without sacrificing the relationship with his family and friends.

As a footnote here at the time of recording this episode, Terry had been a guest on more than 500 podcasts, which not only shows that he is living his mission but also speaks to the fact that Terry is an incredible individual with a powerful story to share.

By combining his ten-year cancer journey with his diverse business, athletic coaching, and law enforcement background, he delivers compelling yet relatable presentations for conferences, online events, panels, meetings, and seminars. Once you get to know Terry and learn about the extraordinary challenges he has overcome and continues to battle you begin to appreciate why his story is so remarkable.

In 2020, Terry published the book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. Terry Tucker believes everyone is born to lead an uncommon and extraordinary life and that has nothing to do with where you work, how much money you make, or where you live.
