Today, we are talking all about how to harness your inner power - what it is, how to tap into it and how it’ll help you gain more confidence no matter what situation you are in. And I mean, really… who doesn’t want more of that, right??!
My all-star special guest today is leadership coach Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power. She advises businesses all around the world, training leaders to tap into their own source of personal power. Through this practice of understanding that “everything is energy” - her clients have gained confidence, learn how to show up with authenticity and as a result, they build and lead highly productive teams.
Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power.We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
How she defines what “inner power” is and is NOT - she busts the misconceptions some have about power and goes much deeper than surface level
spoiler alert: authentic power is not about dominating others… it’s time to deprogram the patriarchy, friends!
What she means by “acquiring energy eyes” in order to read the room and also read yourself, energetically and how you show up in a space
One super simple, practical way you can harness your inner power when you are about to do something big and scary in your work, such as a big pitch meeting or having a tough conversation
…and ultimately, what the difference is between your ego and your soul and how to communicate between the two for greater alignment and a foundation of inner strength.
This conversation was such a delight! And about halfway into it, she led me through an exercise where I needed to get a bit vulnerable and share a question I’ve had on my heart for a while now to gain deeper clarity in my own work trajectory…
I decided to leave this bit in because well, we’re all human and I hope seeing a little bit behind my “Wizard of Oz” curtain was of value to you, especially if you’re contemplating the same. Friends, we learn together and so, if you’re here now, it means you and I were put together in perfect, Divine timing. So, I hope this episode provides a fresh perspective for you, especially if you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately or have lost your mojo somewhere along the way.
Q: Are you ready to harness your inner power? If yes, this one is for you.It’s time to #DoTheThing!

Here’s another all-star episode that I love so much and wanted to share with you today. As we round out this month's theme of “self-discipline” I think this topic is the perfect one to help us bring it all home.
Today, we are talking all about how to finish that next big project… no, really. Done, finished, tick it off the list, stick a fork in it, and be DONE. But the problem is… most projects we start, we never finish them! Why is that??!
My special guest today is author Bridgit Dengel Gaspard and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project. You see, she’s got a theory that the reason we mysteriously stop within sight of the finish line is actually because not all parts of you want what you think you want. In fact, these sub-personalities inside you have a distorted loyalty to your core negative beliefs and that’s what is keeping you stuck.
Here’s how to squash all of that.
My special guest today is Bridgit Dengel Gaspard and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project.Why driven, go-getter, type-A kind of people tend to lose steam just before completing a big goal in their life
What the “Final 8th” is and how to overcome any self-sabotage when you’re working towards your goals personally or professionally
How to speak to your inner selves for clarity and insight through a technique called voice dialogue
Why it’s just as important to uncover our “core negative beliefs” as well as your core values to get at the root of things
… and ultimately, what the key difference is between a person who achieves their goals easily vs. those who don’t.
If you’ve ever bought a book or an online course you haven’t finished… invested in a mastermind and then fizzled out halfway through… or started a DIY project and left it to collect dust, my friend, this episode (that originally aired in September 2020) is especially for you.
You have the power to create the life you really want to live, if only you simply remembered what’s possible… and make Bold Asks for what you need, want, and desire. Today is a fresh start and a new beginning.
You can do it, I believe in you… it’s time to simplify!
Q: Are you trying to figure out why you sometimes can’t seem to finish that next big project? If yes, this one is for you.It’s time to #DoTheThing

Ever been in a heated debate (or worse) an argument where you flat-out disagreed with the other person? How did it go? How did it end? And more importantly, how is that relationship doing after that conversation? Let’s talk about respect today, my friend!
My special guest today is author Justin Jones-Fosu and he’s simplifying how to respectfully disagree, both at work and at home. As you think about the potential critical conversations that might happen today or this week ahead, I hope today’s conversation gives you deeper insight on how to keep your cool, not get triggered, but equally, how to gain a deeper understanding of the other side (even if you still disagree after that), so you can maintain a strong working relationship built on dignity, being valued, and solid respect.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Justin Jones-Fosu and he’s simplifying how to respectfully disagree. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:Why he’s not a big fan of the term “civil discourse” and instead, he suggests there’s a better way to frame things so your communication comes from the heart.
What “golden respect” is and how it can help you become a better listener and communicator.
How your earliest role models in life are the ones who’ve shaped your communication style now. He talks about his earliest memories of his mom and how she “planted the seeds of humanity” in him that rooted his current work in respectful conversations.
What the 5 pillars of respectfully disagreeing are and 1-2 practical tips that you can test out today.
Challenge your perspective
Be the student
Cultivate your curiosity
Seek the gray
Agree to respect
…and ultimately, when someone says something to you that is especially triggering and/or emotionally charged to get a rise out of you, how to handle that situation in the best possible way, moving forward.

We’ve been talking a lot about AI (artificial intelligence) this season… And I feel now is an important time to talk about cybersecurity as it relates to AI. More specifically, do you know how hackers are using AI to infiltrate your business or compromise your private company, customer or employee data? It’s time to simplify it.
My special guest today is cybersecurity expert Richard Hollis and he’s simplifying how to be cybersecurity smart to AI threats. No matter what department you work in (HR, sales & marketing, strategy and especially if you work in an non-IT or cybersecurity function), you need to be up to speed on why hackers do what they do and how to keep your company safe.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Richard Hollis and he’s simplifying how to be cybersecurity smart to AI threats. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:That “all hacking boils down to three objectives.” What they are and why they want that access inside your organization.
To change a config
Upload a program, or
Get physical access to change a config or upload a program
What the best advice is that he gives his clients to help them take cybersecurity seriously and put a crisis management plan in place.
What the 6 stages are that you need to consider when building a Cyber Incident Response Plan:
Preparation
Identification
Containment
Eradication
Recovery
Lessons Learned
NOTE: Build this plan *before* you get hacked.
The best practices and strategies that mid-size businesses are utilizing today to keep their business IT systems as well prepared as possible to fight against hackers, includes:
Conducting risk assessments
Build information security policies
Ensure all employees and contractors get regular cybersecurity training

My special guest today is Susan Collins and she’s simplifying how to leverage your network to drive career mobility. Because, let’s face it… your greatest advocate is in fact, YOU.

Question: How important do you think it is to have a personal brand? As in, how you show up online, in person at work or at industry conferences… What do you want to be known for? In my opinion, it’s the secret to building and advancing your career, opening doors of opportunity, and getting one step closer to doing the work you actually love.
My special guest today is Tamika Brunetti and she’s simplifying how to uncover your #DigitalSwagger. That’s what she calls it and I love that spin… How you show up online (in a professional sense) that sets the tone for how people engage with you. So let’s talk about how to find your own swagger as you walk in the (proverbial) door the next time you’re on LinkedIn!

Here’s how to declutter your workspace in just seven minutes… but I want to do this one in a slightly different way. Instead of talking about theory, I want to make this a working episode, meaning in the next seven minutes, you and I are going to declutter our offices together. By the end of this episode, you’ll have made progress on refreshing your space and ultimately, feel proud that you did the thing.
It’s time to do the thing and declutter your workspace.Ok, so here’s how this is going to work… you’ll need to gather a few basic supplies and be ready to take action.
Here are the supplies you need:Wet wipes or some cleaning spray and paper towels
Post-it® notes and a pen
Trash bin
And if you don’t have those things, no biggie… just improvise. Don’t let this stop you from doing the thing.
Ok, using your Post-it® notes, create four piles:Keep and file
Recycle or trash
To do this week
To do next week
Press “pause,” write out those four categories and place them in the four different corners of your work space. Once you’ve done that, hit “play” and then we can get started.
Alright, ready to go? Awesome. I’m going to set a 7-minute timer for us… starting now. Just listen to my voice and get ‘err done!
Big things to tackle:Take everything off your desk… make space.
Sort through the stacks of paper, mail and/or bills. What can you file away? What can you recycle?
Are there things that don’t belong here? Put them back in their spot (dishes, hoodies, bags, etc).
Take time to dust all surfaces, wiping down your desk, your electronics, and screens.
Okay, how was that for you? Did you make some progress on your workspace? Were you able to declutter things even just a little bit? Also, did you find that the accountability of having a buddy doing it alongside you was a helpful motivator?? I know that helps me take action on things that I’m procrastinating on.
So, well done on decluttering your workspace! It’s amazing what you can accomplish in seven minutes like that. Feel free to do it over and over again if you need a longer session.And let me know if you like this experimental format of The Simplifiers Podcast… if you guys dig this, I’ll make more #dothething style episodes in the future and sprinkle them in. That way, we can do the things together that you are procrastinating on and pushing to the bottom of your to-do list… I think this is a great way to get motivated, take action, and feel like a badass just by simplifying them down and actually getting them done!
You can do this, I believe in you. It’s time to SIMPLIFY.Show notes available with all links mentioned here:https://www.thesimplifiers.com/posts/b143-how-to-declutter-your-workspace---dothething-all-star
