Join What Leaders Want Host Jay Delling for this episode where Jay interviews Lori Robertson, the dynamic speaker and coach to women leaders. Lori believes effective leadership requires effective communication. Those who can communicate effectively are seen as leaders. They’re people we are influenced and inspired by, love to do business with, enthusiastically refer and choose for leadership roles.

Conversely, poor communication skills can undermine individual and organizational success. And for women, the impact is even greater.

The good news? Communication skills are just that…skills. Everyone can learn to be a more effective, compelling communicator. Every leader must.

That’s where Lori comes in. She empowers leaders to communicate with authenticity, credibility, clarity and confidence. Her mission is to amplify voices that inspire change and drive impact.

In a world where communication is paramount, Lori helps leaders leverage their unique stories and insights raise visibility, grow personal brands while maximizing impact and results. Lori's approach blends motivational and instructional styles, making complex ideas accessible and actionable.

Over the last 20 years, She has had the privilege of guiding individuals and groups to speak with confidence, leverage the power of story and cultivate the characteristics of leadership communication. It’s more than a job; it's a commitment to nurturing a community of confident, impactful leaders.

What She Bring to Your Stage or Organization:

• Dynamic Keynote Speeches: Specializing in topics like leadership communication, the power of story for leaders and the value of cultivating a personal brand.
• Expert Coaching: Personalized 1:1 and group coaching for women leaders.
• Female Focus: While I speak to mixed groups as well, my passion is to help more women recognize the magic inside them and empower them with clarity and confidence to step up, speak up and shine.

jay Delling, host of What Leaders Want, interviews guest Tim Spooner, PT, FAFS. Tim is a physical therapist, owner and CEO at Spooner, an Arizona and Texas based outpatient orthopedic and sports medicine practice which continues to expand yearly. Tim opened Spooner in 1990 with the philosophy that every individual should be empowered with the knowledge and ability to achieve health through movement.

Tim has deeply embedded the idea of clinical and conceptual motion into the vision and the culture of the organization, embracing motion as being healthy in all aspects. As a CEO and a physical therapist, Tim has a unique perspective from which to experience and solve the problem of the rising cost of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) for employers.

A business owner since 1990, he watched his own company healthcare costs rise annually, directly affecting the company’s bottom line. In addition, his employees’ costs were rising on the healthcare he provided, and he knew that the current model was not serving his company nor his employees well.

Now serving as the CEO of Solveglobal, Tim believes that disrupting the current healthcare model is the only way to lower employer costs and improve employees’ vitality. He also knows that movement specialists are the individuals who will positively impact our society’s health at the population and individual level.

Tim holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of North Dakota, along with a Fellowship of Applied Functional Science (AFS) through the Gray Institute.
