  • YOUR MESSAGE RECEIVED WITH DEBE BLACK PART 1 OF 2

    Learn to think on your feet, through fierce preparation- and why collaboration is so important and how Jazz helps you deliver a business story that you can feel.

    Debe Black…Sales professional with 20+ years experience in account management, strategy and leadership of sales teams…joins me on the Podcast.

    Debe is a fierce Collaborator who makes everyone around her better, to bring you to your fullest potential

    Listen to the comparisons of Debe’s Classic Jazz Training, how those skills are so perfectly aligned to business presentation and public speaking.

    You’ll learn how to step into a challenge, as Debe describes her ascension to Automotive Sales Expert. You’ll be reminded that when you step into new territory, you go all-in.  Here’s a great reason to get “your mindset right!”

    The art of collaboration involves around fierce preparation.  When we say “get your content tight” Debe fully understands and highly encourages others to be fully prepared (that’s when true improvisation in SPEAKING is possible.) Everyone on the team must fully understand their own role before they can collectively “move mountains” with their voice.

    Because there is so much fun collaborative content, we broke the Podcast into two episodes. Debe Black has been a true gift to me, both professionally and personally. Enjoy this classic two-episode Podcast, with my friend Debe Black.

  • YOUR MESSAGE RECEIVED WITH MATT OPRAMOLLA...
    Listen for techniques on risk taking, Hiring process (from a Recruiter POV,) succinct communication with kindness..
    When you listen to my interview with Matt Opramolla, you’ll learn quickly that Matt is a guy who is able to communicate exactly what he wants and also able to take big risks. As a Recruiter, Matt channels his own experience in the interview process (which can be incredibly nerve-wracking and frustrating) and helps others to feel valued (as well as better aligned professionally.) When Matt says (as a Recruiter), he is on LinkedIn daily, if you are in career mode, you should be too!
    Matt is currently residing in Austin, Texas. Matt enjoys playing basketball and guitar, going to concerts, getting tattooed, spending time with his family (two dogs, two cats, one wife), reading historical non-fiction, and listening to podcasts about The Sopranos.
    If you’re a dreamer, a visionary (including geographical shifts, professional risks, chasing goals, making big changes) and want to do this in a way that also encourages you use your voice in order to follow your heart- listen to Matt Opramolla. Here’s to taking that leap and remaining kind in the process. Enjoy!

  • YOUR MESSAGE RECEIVED INTERVIEW SERIES WITH SPECIAL GUESTS ALL-STARS NETWORK CHAD NACHSIN + CHADD LEVINE
    NEW Podcast BIO CHAD + CHADD ALL-STARS NETWORK
    Chad Nachsin (aka Single D) and Chadd Levine (aka Double DD) are well known in the Philadelphia Region as the Mortgage All-Stars. While they started, and shine in the Mortgage industries, Mortgage All-Stars has also morphed into a distinct brand, with their individual personalities shining through. You may already know them, or you soon will, as the architects of the All-Stars Network.
    Don’t mistake their incredibly fun personalities as a casual approach to their business. These two All-Stars are intense competitors who continually level-up their game. Vision, strategy, brand- focused marketing, finding the right identity, execution and follow through…are all integral parts of their DNA. To quote Double DD, “…when you find it (the brand, identity… ) you can become it."
    All- Stars Network evolves into far more than Mortgages and Real Estate, although Real Estate drives them both.  Single D and Double DD now seek out All-Stars in every profession. Personally, while I am so grateful for the friendships- I also am truly grateful for the simple fact that they draw the All-Star out of me, and also help those lucky enough to be around them- to level up their professional games as well. Because my purpose is to help others find their true and authentic voice, Chadd and Chad embody authenticity. There’s no one like them, and they make an incredible team.
    All of this is done with a ton of passion, laughs, and kindness. I am truly grateful to be friends with them and am thrilled that I get to share these two legends with you. Finding (and listening to) their true authentic voices is a true privilege. These All-Stars currently host multiple weekly Social Media Shows.
    Here’s where to find Chad Nachsin + Chadd Levine
    All Stars Network. Fridays at 1:30 PM Facebook
