The Leadership Code

On this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with a 93-year old, Persis Laverack. Persis shares her reflections on life on a wide range of topics from her career, marriage, lessons learned, philosophy, regrets, travel, and of course Covid-19.

 

Truly inspiring!

In this podcast, I get to share my thoughts on overcoming limiting beliefs and unlocking your mindest as a guest on the Motivational Podcast.

Vanilla Busters are men and women who refuse to settle for an ordinary, mundane, risk-free life. They have made the resolute decision to abandon the security and safety of the bleachers, and to enter into the dangers and glories of the playing field. It's about giving up small dreams and bite-sized ambitions so that we can take hold of dreams and ambitions big enough to make our stay on planet earth worthwhile. It's refusing to allow someone else to do our risk-taking, and daring to live life at full throttle. It's about saying "no" to vanilla, and shouting "yes" to life.

 

In this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, Dwight Edwards dicusses why we need to say NO to Vanilla.

The Law of Attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. This is based on the idea by aligning our thoughts with the right belief systems, we can attract into our lives good things— like improved health, wealth, and personal relationships. A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively change one's negative thinking patterns, one must also "feel" (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with that law. In Christianity, it is called faith. In Psychology, it is described as cognitive reframing techniques. In this edition of the TIME with Podcast, my special guest, Abimbola Awotesu (@DearAbi) and I discuss Finding Love through the Law of attraction.

Sept 11th, 2001, is the day where the world stood still.

Buried, crushed, and bleeding beneath the tons of rubble of the South Tower, Joe wondered what life could be if given just one more day. He was miraculously found alive by rescue workers with multiple fractures, a massive brain injury, and barely breathing. The light of day was something he always took for granted. Within ten minutes of being rescued, Joe was buried again under the debris of the second collapse…the North Tower.

One of the causes of the much talked about racial and social justice issues we are facing in America today is Implicit Bias. While we might like to believe that this is perpetrated by one particular race, the reality is that we all have a part to play whether we realize it or not. What is Implicit Bias?

Why is should we care about it? What can we do to avoid its harmful effects in the workplace and community as a whole? With me to discuss this timely topic on the next edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, is Marilyn Markham, Head of Service Excellence, for American Express Global Business Travel.

Depression is a common illness worldwide, with more than 264 million people affected, according to a WHO Study. When left unmanaged, depression can become a serious health condition causing the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school, and in the family.

At its worst, depression can lead to suicide.

In this episode of the TIME with Fred Podcast, I discuss this all-important topic with my special guest, Dr. Michael Lyles.

Dr. Michael Lyles is a board-certified Psychiatrist by The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. His major areas of clinical activity are mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. 

He is a consultant to a variety of community organizations ranging from religious organizations to internet sites to professional athletics such as The Atlanta Hawks. He is committed to raising the standard of care in the community by teaching gatekeepers such as clergy and primary care doctors, along with lay groups.

He has published over 60 publications and videos and serves on the speaking and advisory boards for several pharmaceutical companies.

In 1989, Huwe Burton came home to discover his mother, Keziah, had been stabbed to death in their Bronx home. The 16-year-old, who had been at school all day, was arrested for her murder and coerced into a false confession. He was given a 15-years-to-life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, beginning a decades-long fight to clear his name. Huwe was finally exonerated in early 2019 with the help of Innocence Project staff attorney Susan Friedman. In this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, Huwe shares his incredible story of perseverance in the face of injustice.

In Huwe's words, “It took 30 years to get it right, but life is just starting.” 

Special thanks to the Innocence Project for making this interview possible.
