What to Say When Things Get Tough

Covid caught up with me last week, and while it was a very mild case and I'm fully recovered, I didn't have a chance to record and edit a new episode.

Instead, I'm bringing back the most popular episode of the past year. The guest is Matt Stait, a Welsh national and martial arts expert who used his skills to overcome a difficult childhood and become a successful competitor, bodyguard, teacher and author. Among many other interesting topics, we talk about the crucial role that communication plays in the subtle art of protecting club goers, celebrities and Middle Eastern royalty, when the formula for success comprises one percent physicality and 99 percent quick thinking and negotiating skills.

Matt's books, including 20 easy ways to keep your child safe: Empower your kids with the tools to be confident, safe, and happy, are available on Amazon.com. You can also find and engage with him on TikTok. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Thank you as always to Jim Cirillo at jimiumgroup.com for our original music and Rachel Greenberger - Happy Graduation! - for our original art.

We'll be back next time with an all-new episode.

Our guest today is Geoff Seow, founder of MindAxis Life Coaching. Geoff joins us from Down

Under to talk about how he found meaning in life from working with his fellow millennials -- to

help them, as he describes it, bridge the present day to their dream reality. Along the way we talk

about Geoff’s twist on the golden rule: rather than treat people as you would want to be

treated, treat them as they want to be treated.

Thank you as always to Jim Cirillo at jimiumgroup.com for our original music and Rachel Greenberger for our original art.

A quick show note: The episode today is coming to you a capella as I have not figured out how to transfer our original music over from my old laptop to my new one.

Our guest today is Monique Russell, an executive coach, leadership guru, communication expert, and the founder of Clear Communication Solutions. We cover a wide range of issues, including overcoming adversity, presenting to people who you may think are smarter than you, to the importance of being very intentional when communicating in difficult situations.

After going through a social media cleanse, she’s back online and the best place to find her is on LinkedIn – although she also has a website at clearcommunicationsolutions.com.

Welcome to the 50th episode of What to Say When Things Get Tough!! Very exciting.

Kellan Fluckiger, who we welcomed as a guest last time, was kind enough to ask me to appear as a guest on his podcast, Your Ultimate Life. And he was also kind enough to give me permission to feature our conversation here.

While we don't necessarily talk about communicating in difficult situations, I think listeners will find some pearls of wisdom in the story that I share about my own struggle to find my ultimate life.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.

As always, thank you to Jim Cirillo for our original music and to Rachel Greenberger for our original art.

Our guest today is Kellan Fluckiger. Before leaping off the corporate ladder and forging his new path as a transformational leadership mentor, Kellan spent many years working at the highest levels of the electric power industry.

For the past 15 years, Kellan has devoted himself to helping others, in his words, combine their thoughts, language and actions into an unstoppable success machine. His clients have included governors, senators, CEOs, and even a Super Bowl winner, and we discuss the techniques that Kellan uses - and the role that communication plays in making it all happen.

Kellan is the author of more than a dozen books, which you can find on Amazon.com : kellan fluckiger. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
