About the Guest:

Mariam Haddad - CEO & Founder, The Performance Communication Company Entrepreneur, Classical artist, Lyricist, Storyteller, Reinventionist (that is a term) On the way to our dreams, life happens. What you do with what happens… is what matters most. Life called Mariam to re-invent herself multiple times, to persevere as well as to be creative in converting the seemingly negative into the positive gift life presented. As a result, she learned that struggle is the pathway to joy itself, helping us to come to know ourselves better and find the inner stillness from which peace is born.

As a Syrian American who grew up on the El Paso – Mexico border steeped in American society, she learned each struggle serves as a vehicle to help find the sameness in others as well as to celebrate our differences. These diverse experiences helped her to view life as a canvas, allowing her to be God's paintbrush in bringing new realities into being.

"A storyteller at heart, I believe that words ARE power, words are LIFE." Through her company, The Performance Communication Company, her team creates innovative, in-person and virtual learning for those who want their voices to be heard in their professional lives. Having performed throughout her career as both a classical pianist and opera singer, she brings a different view to her work with others as a communication strategist and delivery expert.

Mariam's passion is guiding others into the expressive art of themselves to frame their brilliant ideas, passions, beliefs and life's work and embrace the fullness of possibility as reality in the work place and world.

Mariam has spoken and or provided services to TEDx Houston, The Business Maker's Show, Boeing, NASA, Shell, BP, Chevron, Sinopec, The Asian Chamber of Commerce, Asia Voice Radio, The University of Houston Wolff Center and many other Fortune 500 Companies.

Sometimes our reflection challenges us to change a perspective. Sometimes, it actually solidifies one. As I listened to Ms. Loretta Ross on "On Point" both happened. She gave a fantastic definition of the difference between a cult and a movement which easily translates into organization culture. But then she talked about "Calling in" the "call out culture" and I had to differ – at least a little. There must be a place to "call out" or speak truth to power; but, HOW we do that is the key point. Let's talk about it.

We made it to December! Normally I'm speaking of preparation for the next year, but this year, it seems like a good time to reflect on the past year and celebrate some successes. Just as there is always something to be grateful for, there is always something to celebrate! Always. Let's find a few things and toss those out there. Your input may just be the thing that gives another person permission to celebrate as well.

There is power in gratitude. Yes, there is science behind how our neurotransmitters are strengthened by the practice of gratitude and how stress is relieved, and sleep is enhanced. But gratitude is more than a brain exercise. It is a spiritual and emotional exercise. It is an ACTIVE decision of focusing on what we have or what we have learned rather than what we are lacking or what we have suffered. It is a perspective that can change your circumstances. And it is a practice worth investing in. Let's talk about it.

Speaking Truth to Power is about 3 key things: information, inclusion and service. You have important, potentially critical information. The culture needs to be such that your perspective is included. And the sharing of the information is about serving the outcome, not about the individual impact. And overarching these 3 things is WHY your are delivering the information so you can decide the best way HOW to deliver the information. Let's talk about it!

There is power in taking a pause and evaluating or re-evaluating your situation. And sometimes, we are forced to take a pause. That's what happened to Sherri McManus.

She is taking this vision and helping leaders make a direct connection between their behaviors and desired outcomes to transform not only their businesses, but their lives.

We toss around the word "power" a great deal. But what does it really mean? Does everyone have power? Is power only given or is it earned? What does it really mean to "stand in your power?" For the month of November, the theme is power and we are going to talk about all that stuff. But first, in this short episode, we are going to start simply with the word "power" and what it really means.

We often distinguish between "Creatives" and "Scientists." But today's guest is the personification of the blending of both. As a classically trained performer, Mariam has a perspective on how we show up that challenges our "practice makes perfect" paradigm. Instead, it's about practicing in a way that turns knowledge into skill and new skill into skills that can be trusted to support showing up full out. And in showing up confidently, you are more likely to make the impact you desire.
