Welcome to the Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!

What does it mean to be "elite" in today's world? Is it in the credentials? Titles? Company names? Net worth?Are those that we call “elite” worthy of our admiration? Are they worthy of leadership? 

Inspired by the message of Hillbilly Elegy and life of J.D. Vance, I share my thoughts on what leadership really requires today. I believe that the  "new elites" are those among us that:

• are deeply aware of their personal values and live in alignment with them
• live in their genius, and encourage others to do the same
• live by "The Four Agreements" 
• embrace all parts of themselves, transforming whatever they need to, in order to love and live more deeply
• commit to the inner journey and healing to help heal all of humanity
• admit when they are wrong and seek reconciliation

What does it mean to YOU to be elite?

Welcome to the Kayleigh O’Keefe Show! I help others rediscover their sense of joy and freedom, and yet have long suppressed my own joy and freedom by not fully accepting the fact that I am gay. In this episode, I share my coming out story with the intention that it will serve all people who have grappled with any sort of inner conflict and avoided the truth for too long. We are love. It is at the center of our being.

​​Tune into today’s episode of The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show to explore:

1. Where in your life are you using substitutes for love instead of cultivating the real thing?
2. What are you attracted to? The beauty of life is in our preferences. Bring your body and soul on board with your mind when it comes to choosing relationships and opportunities that inspire you.
3. What are you resisting? The more we resist the truth, the more difficult we make our lives. The more that we explore and discern truth, the more we open ourselves for life to live through us.

What does it take to awaken our inner servant leader? That is the question that Katrijn Van Oudheusden helps aspiring servant leaders answer. Katrijn is an international bestselling author with her chapter in The X Factor: The Spiritual Secrets Behind Successful Executives and Entrepreneurs and is a coach to servant leaders around the world. In today’s episode, Katrijn teaches us the philosophy of letting the ego fall away and going with the flow to achieve a more fulfilling and less stressful life.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show to learn more about:

• The concept of servant leadership

• How to change your internal landscape and let go of your ego

• How to become more attuned to your intuition

• And why servant leadership lives within all of us!

Quotes

• “For the longest time, servant leadership has been out there as a set of qualities that leaders can embody and a moral ideal to strive for. I want to be a servant leader; I want to do good, be good, and be of service to others.” (3:20-3:40)

• “For me, I found out that servant leadership is what we really are. It’s our true nature as human beings if we get our ego out of the way.” (5:04-5:16)

• “We are not the control mechanism doing our lives. This is really key, because with servant leadership we think it’s something we need to figure out and then do.  But it’s the opposite. It’s not only seeing I can transcend this ego thing, this deficit thing. It’s also seeing: I’m not doing my life. I’m being lived. This body and this mind is here in this universe and this reality and it’s being lived and I can let go and flow with that.” (12:20-13:01)

• “You see very clearly that what is happening is what is supposed to be happening because nobody is controlling anything.” (17:50-17:55)

• “We have to fire our minds from the position of CEO. We’ve made the mind the CEO of everything. We think everything can be solved by using thinking or knowledge or the mind. And that’s not true, because our actual nature is more the heart or intuition or being in service, whatever name you give it, awareness, being. That’s also and maybe even more what we are than the mind. Because the mind appears to us. Thoughts appear to us and we don’t control them.” (31:44-32:27)

Welcome to the Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!

What will it take to lead the future of the corporate world? This is the question that Sasha Stair seeks to answer in her book The Inside Job: Master the World Within to Lead the Future of Corporate. The first solo author that has published with Soul Excellence Publishing, Sasha dives deep into the ins and outs of conscious leadership and what it takes to master your inner self, so you can thrive in work and in life. 

Tune into this week’s episode of The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show to learn more about:

• Sasha’s journey to becoming a solo author

• How Sasha uses spirituality and intuition to powerfully inform her decisions

• Why COVID has sparked a trust breakdown in many organizations

• How to build the next generation of leaders while in your role

• And why tapping into failure is a fundamental step towards success!

Quotes

• “It’s not being spiritual that creates that connection; it’s figuring out what works for you in order to build that relationship with yourself and be on your path of growth and become the leader that you so desire to be.” (06:25-06:39)

• “If you’re all in and you’re willing to go there and do the work and show up authentically, vulnerably, that is where you will have not only fulfillment every day where you lay your head down to rest at night, but you’re also inspiring that in your teams and creating that environment, holding that container, for great leaders to come out of the ranks.” (15:05-15:25)

• “If you feel like you can’t take what I’ve taught you and carry on, I missed a step. And I’ve found that I need to shift how I mentor at that level while I’m at a company, so that when I leave that torch can carry on.” (16:57-17:15)

• “I keep getting attracted to supporting these women who are empowered, embodied, conscious leaders, just like I want to create in the world.” (26:20-26:29)

• “The success of failure is being able to fail without feeling like a failure. And, I think so often companies, whether it’s failure, innovation, culture, they’re like, ‘Hey, we want to create a culture of fail fast. We want to create a culture of innovating.’ But, they don’t live it!” (29:42-29:58)

Welcome to the Kayleigh O’Keefe Show!

At age 17, Mike Vertolli went from high school student to entrepreneur overnight. After his stepfather died and his mom was left with no source of income, Mike decided to step away from his studies and dive headfirst into telecommunications. He and his mom worked together for 20 years to build ComTec Systems, a tech company that has received extensive acclaim. A serial learner, Mike’s curiosity and willingness to ask questions helped him develop the business acumen he needed to launch him to success at a very young age. 

Tune into this week’s episode of The Kayleigh O’Keefe Show to learn more about:

• Mike’s journey from entrepreneur to CEO

• Why Mike and his mom made such a dynamic business team

• Allowing data to inform your business decisions rather than emotion

• How to shift from working in to working on your company

• And how to leave a lasting business legacy!

Quotes

• “I think the first step when people become entrepreneurs is they want independence and money. And then you realize that in order to get independence and money, you have to have something. So, the business is almost a vehicle to accomplish that.” (09:53-10:04)

• “I’m a serial learner….If someone is able to offer me an hour of their time, and I know they’re successful, I’m all ears.” (12:12-12:21)

• “I think by having that global look at the organization, both on what we’ve done and where we’re going, and having the people with the mentality and empowerment like that’s where they’re supposed to be, has really helped us hit the mile markers that we’ve set.” (21:58-22:10)

• “As soon as I have difficult decisions, whether it’s people, process, systems, whatever comes up, I have to say that I am no longer a part of the issue at hand, and I play the role of Mike Vertolli, the consultant.” (24:55-25:08)

• “For every person you keep that’s not a fit, it takes the position of a person that could have been an exceptional fit. I want to surround myself with exceptional people and, very importantly, I hope they’re better at their job than I could ever be.” (25:45-27:03)

• “We have to create a work environment that attracts high-quality people, driven people. And I think it comes from better understanding their drivers.” (29:13-29:25)

• “My legacy is more of leading people, helping them achieve the things that they want in life, showing people that you can be a very successful business by doing the right things.” (33:25-33:40)
