123 - Social Networking for Female Founders with Inbal Claudio, Founder of Like Minded Collective

Welcome Inbal Claudio to the podcast this week! She is the founder of Like Minded Collective - A social media platform for dreamers, creators and female founders to build genuine personal relationships and amplify their business!. Here's a bit more about Like Minded Collective and Inbal in her words:

Inbal Claudio was born in Israel, and aside from a 4-year stint in North Carolina has spent the majority of her life in Southern California where she currently lives with her husband and 2 little daughters. As a candle maker, turned tech founder, her passion for networking with women entrepreneurs has led her to create Like Minded Collective, a social media platform for dreamers, creators and female founders. Her mission is to make sure every single female founder, no matter what stage of business they’re in, know how incredible they are!


Like Minded Collective - A social media platform for dreamers, creators and female founders to build genuine personal relationships and amplify their business! "I decided to build out a tech platform to help as many female founders as I can with absolutely no tech experience. The drive to create something that can help so many women thrive was the driving factor in every decision I make! I want to be an example for my two little girls that they can do absolutely anything! I think talking about women and leadership is SO important! In an industry where women are underrepresented, it's so important to build that confidence to go out there and follow your dreams, and even more so, show other women that it's possible!"

122 - Let's talk Payment Processing with PolyPay Founder and CEO, Jamie Barlett

122 - Let's talk Payment Processing with PolyPay Founder and CEO, Jamie Barlett

Welcome Jamie Barlett to the MaYapinion® Podcast this week. She founded PolyPay in 2013 to provide businesses with a partner who offers them honesty, transparency, customer support and savings for merchant processing. She draws on her experience in consulting, finance, HR, technology and leadership development every day at PolyPay. She is originally from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and attended Wellesley College earning a degree in English and Economics. She also received an MBA from Pepperdine University. Jamie loves interacting with customers and learning more about how they started their business and what is important to them. She lives in Arroyo Grande, California and Columbus, Ohio with her sixteen-year-old rescued Yorkie Spike.
A bit more on PolyPay, which is a woman owned payment processing provider serving businesses in over 15 states. We provide them with the ability to take credit card payments no matter what type of business they have, whether they are a brick and mortar business, an ecommerce business or a mobile business.
Leadership in Jamie's words: "A leader is someone who is willing to take risks, take care of their customer and provide an excellent and growth oriented environment for their employees. They also must be willing to share their experiences with their employees, be open to delegating and give back to their industry, their employees and their community. They must also be a good mentor. I feel I embody all of that description." We absolutely agree here at MaYapinion® and loved having Jamie share her journey.
Jamie says "I came from many years in the corporate world and never thought I would start my own business. But I did!" We love that here at MaYapinion®... that's why she's a leader and on our podcast this week!

121 - Self-coaching with Dr. Sarah E. Brown

Welcome Dr. Sarah E. Brown to the podcast this week! Dr. Sarah E. Brown is leading the charge to revolutionize the self-development industry through the power of personalization.  An expert on using the results of personality assessments and the author of the Book of You®,  available at www.bookofyou.com,  she has created a way for individuals to self-coach themselves to greater clarity, confidence and commitment to personalized career goals uniquely suited to their interests, strengths, and needs..  A subsequent book Let Your Personality be your Career Guide, available on Amazon.com, contains a wealth of stories and exercises to help an individual quickly determine the key personality components that should be considered in choosing a career direction..  Dr. Brown has also co-authored Road to Success with Jack Canfield, New York Times Best Selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Success Principles, and others.

Know Thyself, LLC DBA Book of You® is Dr. Sarah E. Brown's company.  The mission of this company is to empower mid-career professional women with information about themselves and equip them with the tools to translate this knowledge into goals and strategies that will allow them to be happy, successful, and experience less stress at work.  We provide training on "self-coaching," and a personalized book called the Book of You® that is completely personalized to the reader based off a world-class personality assessment called the Birkman Method®.  The podcast The KTS Success Factor® Podcast for Women brings to its audience in each episode one actionable idea female business leaders can use to increase their capabilities, commitment, and confidence to pursue and achieve big business goals.

Here's what Dr. Sarah thinks about leadership in her own words, "Being a leader means taking 100% responsibility for all that you are in charge of leading.  In companies, “leaders” do not do all the work, but they are 100% responsible for the work that gets done.  If the results are not what the leader or the company wants, the leader is 100% responsible for figuring out why and fixing it. The same is true in my life.  I am 100% responsible for my life and my results.  I cannot waste time on blaming and complaining.  If I am not happy with an aspect of my life, it is my responsibility to change it."

120 - Diversifying the Tech Industry with Kristin Slink, Founder & CEO of TechAF

120 - Diversifying the Tech Industry with Kristin Slink, Founder & CEO of TechAF

Welcome Kristin Slink, the founder and CEO of TechAF, this week to the podcast. Here's more about Kristin in her own words:


Hi, I’m Kristin and I've supported hundreds of underrepresented founders to incubate and launch their tech business.

Are you next?

$147 billion in venture capital was invested in US startups in just the first half of 2021. Black founders received only 1.2% of those investments.

Let's change that.

Tech AF is a movement. We’re sick of that status quo. The tech industry needs more diversity. It needs a lower tech-bro-ratio. It needs more people with different life experiences, backgrounds, gender-identities, skin colors, abilities, and perspectives.

Resources exist for underestimated founders, but require you to have a product in the market with paying customers. Getting to this stage is HARD. Especially if you've never done it before.

I've been in the trenches myself. At 27, I taught myself everything I needed to know to build my first tech business. Of course, I made a ton of mistakes along the way. But plenty of incredible people pushed me, too. More importantly, I refused to take no for an answer and blazed my own path.

I went head first into a ten year journey that resulted in raising more than $55M in funding and going through the experience of having that business acquired, twice.

Since then I’ve advised and supported hundreds of underrepresented founders through a variety of Atlanta's leading startup programs. Many of these founders have gone on to raise venture capital and implement growth strategies for scale.

With Tech AF, I've developed a proprietary five-part system based on my unique experience that streamlines the path from idea to a fundable business.

If you have a scalable tech idea and don’t know what to do next - apply today and let's talk!

116 - Using the Enneagram for Leadership with Catherine Bell, the founder of The Awakened Company

116 - Using the Enneagram for Leadership with Catherine Bell, the founder of The Awakened Company

Catherine is a successful entrepreneur, business leader, and best-selling business author. She founded BluEra, a Profit 500 executive search, and team transformation company. As a top 200 growing company in Canada and top 10 in Alberta, and the best workplace, BluEra was a shining example of the Awakened Company System in action. With the sale of BluEra to DHR, Catherine now focuses on awakening the fire within organizations as the founder of The Awakened Company, a company aimed at awakening the fire within through passion, purpose, and playfulness. 

The Awakened Company brings humanity back into corporate culture. Catherine is a certified Enneagram coach and uses this as a tool for self, relational, and organizational development. She has incredible experience with a very human-centered foundation. She is a sensitive, intelligent female leader and who you will definitely enjoy listening to...

Catherine in her own words, "I have helped to build a Profit-20 firm in the Province of Alberta and a Profit-200 in Canada, by doing things radically differently (especially in 2008 when I co-founded the firm). I successfully sold that company and transitioned the leadership. Everything in my life is dedicated to awakening - awakening ourselves, our relationships, our organizations, and our communities.

My vision is to be a healthy universal muse, radiating love, wisdom, and power in service to humanity and the planet. I believe that we either lead with positive intention or we will be led. Our organization now is an international thought leader on how to awaken corporate cultures.  I am also a mother, wife, and very feeble human. I believe we are all leaders if we choose to be. My aim is with me wherever I walk. I lead not only in business but in the community as well. I am also a mother, Godmother, aunt, daughter, wife, sister, and colleague.

I teach at Queen’s School of Business in innovation. I also volunteer for the Telus Spark Science Centre, and Impact Society, and have created The Awakened Project, which helps female entrepreneurs start up their own businesses with microloans. I believe our inner, outer, and secret realities are here to be of service to humanity and the planet."

114 - A Woman Listens for Leadership with Nina Simons, the founder of Bioneers

Welcome Nina Simons to the podcast this week! She is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers. As a social entrepreneur, her work has spanned diverse sectors and genres, including the arts, philanthropy, the corporate and nonprofit worlds. She is passionate about reimagining leadership so that all women and girls can whole-heartedly aspire to it. And cares deeply about being a good ally, and social healing by rebalancing racial and gender equity. 

She co-edited Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart, and authored Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership—being released as a second edition in June 2022 with a discussion guide and embodied practices — and which has won awards in the categories of women, intersectionality and racial justice. To learn more about her, or where she may be speaking or teaching, visit ninasimons.com or bioneers.org.

Bioneers is an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet. Founded in 1990 in Santa Fe, New Mexico by social entrepreneurs Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, we act as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.  

A celebration of the genius of nature and human ingenuity, Bioneers connects people with solutions and each other. Our acclaimed annual national conference and local Bioneers Network events are complemented by extensive media production including a vibrant online media presence, award-winning radio and podcast series, book series, and role in third-party media projects such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie The 11th Hour and Michael Pollan’s best-selling book The Omnivore’s Dilemma.  

Our dynamic programs and initiatives focus on game-changing initiatives related to Restorative Food Systems, Biomimicry, Rights of Nature, Indigeneity, Women’s Leadership and Youth Leadership.

Nina in her own words:

My life has been an exploration of how to best serve what I most love, while cultivating myself to grow into who I believe and sense I was born to be. This has involved lots of exploration and a path that’s quite self-made, and as I’ve explored how to shed self-limiting conditioning and cultivate leadership flourishing by cofacilitating retreats for women leaders who were diverse in every way, those women and experiences have grown me. I’ve partnered with a very strong-willed and brilliant man, which has required me to step up my game on every level. I’ve reached a place in my own life where I’ve created the life, leadership, love and creativity I always wanted, and I want the joys of that integrated life to be reachable for every woman and girl. And I believe the future of our species - and life on Earth - may depend upon it.

113 - Be the CEO of Your Life with Becca Powers

113 - Be the CEO of Your Life with Becca Powers

Welcome Becca Powers to Motivation Monday! She is an award-winning Fortune 500 hi-tech sales executive, best-selling author, speaker, and Founder and CEO of Powers Peak Potential. In her 20+ year career in sales, she’s worked for large companies including Cisco, Dell, and Office Depot, achieving President’s Club 7 times while leading teams of 110+ and hitting $500 million in annual revenue.   

Becca intimately knows the struggles that have come as a cost to her high achievements. Through nearly losing it all, she was forced to discover a more supportive and sustainable path to success that she now teaches to others. She founded her consulting and coaching agency to help high achievers and high-performance sales teams obtain skyrocketing success without sacrifice. Through workshops, seminars and her signature coaching program, Becca works with individuals and organizations to create sustainable change by training them to thrive from the inside out without the cost of compromise.   

In addition to being an executive life coach with specialties in shadow beliefs and trauma awareness, she’s also a Kundalini yoga teacher, and incorporates many holistic modalities into her coaching practice.  In 2021 she released her best-selling book, Harness Your Inner CEO - Rise into Passion, Prosperity, and Empowerment to increase her ability to help others become the CEOs of their own lives.  

Becca currently resides in South Florida with her husband Jeremy and their 4 children. For more information, visit www.beccapowers.com and tune into her podcast, The High Achievers Club on your favorite podcasting platform.

Becca in her own words, "I became the CEO of my own life by taking charge of my journey. Through prioritizing my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health I was able to reassess what was important to me and found out that success, health, and happiness can co-exist, if you put your own needs first. I learned the hard way through working myself into chronic health conditions that there is a formula to living a life that thrives both personally and professionally. By shifting focus and applying this formula: "The Self + The Soul + The Success = Success Without Sacrifice" to my life I became more successful yet had more time to do the things I love. This ultimately changed my life's trajectory, resulting in an epic transformation that allowed me to truly become the CEO of my own life and start living a life I love! I'm now able to share my journey and the lessons learned as a motivational personal empowerment guide that gives others the tools they need to become the CEO of their own life."

111 - How to Be the Leader of Your Life

111 - How to Be the Leader of Your Life

What does it mean to be the Leader of Your Life?

Most people believe that you must have a title like Director or Vice-President at a Fortune 500 company to be a leader. Others think you must own your business or be an advocate for a great cause. None of that is true to be a leader. In my opinion, we have leadership backwards. We put so much pressure on people to achieve a certain status before they can “lead’ that we have lost the true meaning of leadership. Before you can lead others, you must understand how to be the Leader of Your Life.

We have leadership backwards because we often are throwing individuals into situations before they even know who they are, especially who they are as a leader. We promote someone to lead a team before she knows what her values are for herself. We decide someone is ready to take on a new project before even examining whether it aligns with her personal mission. When we are interviewing and hiring, we often fail our teams as we don’t take the time to understand what their vision for their life may be or what they feel their purpose is in this life. Why do we do this? Because no one did it for us and we are repeating the pattern.

How do we change the narrative of leadership? And most importantly, how do we take control and be the leader of our own lives first? The core basic steps for us to take are to truly understand what our values, mission, vision and purpose are before we even step foot into an interview, a job, an office, a promotion, new business endeavor, the list goes on. Leadership begins within you and understanding yourself so that you can give back to others with your core values from a place of purpose, clarity of vision, and feel aligned with your own mission.

What happens when we go about jumping into leadership the other way around is counterproductive and we learn what doesn’t work. It can be helpful and that’s exactly how I discovered what my values, mission, vision and purpose were not at all. However, it led me to start to understand that I got lost in corporate “culture” and like a chameleon, I would change into whatever those key elements were for the companies I worked for. I’m sure without a doubt that you have done exactly the same thing. It does not matter if you are a CEO, Business Owner, Stay at Home Mom, Part-Time Worker, Full Time Student, Unemployed individual seeking your next role, or just taking time to learn about yourself. You are the Leader of Your Life. Therefore, you are already a leader.

How to become the Leader of Your Life?

You do not need someone to give you permission to lead or be given the corner office with a title. You are already a leader. Your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive you throughout your life and dictate your personal leadership. These four important pillars will guide you to succeed in any aspect of life that you choose to embark upon because you will have clarity about yourself as a person and as a leader. That is why we have leadership backwards. We bring people into different cultures; work, home, community, church, and so on. People oblige and join these communities. However, you will join, create, and naturally attract and lead the right communities in every aspect of your life when you are the leader of your life. Why? Because you will dictate your environment, your environment will not dictate you, and your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive the environment you create and attract. You will ultimately know yourself.

My path includes continuous awareness and attention to personal growth (since seeing Pollyanna as a kid). I’m blessed with resilience, tenacity and a never give up positive attitude that allowed me to overcome significant challenges. 

I’m transparent, genuine and dependable. I walk my talk and inspire by example My passion is fueled by helping others reach their destination. My work isn’t about me—it’s about how I can help them. Every day begins with Morning Mindset (gratitude, meditation, visualization, affirmation and intention) this shapes my energy and how I show up I’m not afraid to take calculated risks…

109 - Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together with Amber Tichenor

109 - Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together with Amber Tichenor

Amber Tichenor has a Ph.D. in I/O Psychology and is the founder of To Be, Coaching + Consulting®. A thought leader on the topic of women’s rivalry, Amber has 20+ years’ experience as an Organizational Change Strategy and Leadership consultant where she helped guide businesses through transformational change. Her book, “Behind Frenemy Lines: Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together,” published by Morgan James Publishing, is on sale now.  Amber’s goal is to promote collaboration over competition, to empower women to find their voice, leave the rivalry behind, and team up with a community of like-minded women who support each other to be unstoppable together. 

In Amber's words, she is a leader because "I’m addressing the topic of  female rivalry that’s not only challenging, disruptive, and heartbreaking on so many levels, it’s very difficult to address head on, and talk about it.  And bottom line, this behavior  doesn’t need to occur. As a leader, I’m helping women  and organizations understand this behavior and ultimately, overcome it. I help women find their voice again and be better together. I help organizations understand how the behavior exists and impacts their organizational culture, and how to revise that to  implement a culture of psychological safety.   I walk my talk in my personal and professional life, there’s really no separation. What you see is what you get. I want to empower women, my family, everyone, to be better humans."

Amber also says, "I’ve extensively researched female rivalry and how it impacts women as a whole as well as the surrounding environment (work, socially, etc.).  My goal is to help women overcome female rivalry and find ways to empower each other, work together and establish collaboration over competition. I firmly believe that what we can do together is so much more than what we can do alone!"

106 - Giving Tools for Success and Beyond with Tanya Weaver, Executive Director of AFCA

106 - Giving Tools for Success and Beyond with Tanya Weaver, Executive Director of AFCA

Welcome Tanya Weaver to the podcast this week! Tanya Weaver is the Executive Director of American Foundation for Children with AIDS (AFCA), a role she has held since 2005. In addition to directing AFCA’s day-to-day activities, Tanya frequently speaks about AFCA and AIDS to students, community organizations and religious organizations. In 2007, Tanya created and held the first Climb Up so Kids Can Grow Up, an international series of outdoor events that raises funds for AFCA.  

She has spent much of her life abroad involved in international development. Prior to joining AFCA, Tanya worked in Afghanistan as a Project Supervisor and later as Interim Country Director for Shelter for Life International, a global organization that provides assistance building homes and other shelters for those in need. Previously, Tanya worked with Habitat for Humanity International in Romania, Portugal, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary and Russia.  Tanya’s involvement with international development began early in her life. Raised in Colombia, she worked in orphanages in Colombia, Brazil and Jamaica during college summer breaks, further broadening her world view.  Tanya has a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

More about Tanya Weaver in her own words and why she believes she is a leader, "Fundamentally my goal is to help those in need, and I have led my life and career in that direction. So when I lead, I use that goal as my true north, and continually work to find the best ways to get there, and bring as many people as I can along with me to help." In addition, Tanya says, "As executive director of a non-profit organization for 17 years, I have a lot of experience leading people and projects." 

Tanya Weaver is an absolute inspiration and what she has and does do to help children and families and women around the world. Tanya is not only helping people at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS through providing medicine and immediate assistance. But, Tanya and her team are creating ecosystems that support these families and give them tools to become financially independent and successful despite their circumstances. The entrepreneur in me loves this even more and I hope you are just as inspired about this experience.

She also brings individuals and families over to these sites for a vacation with a purpose. You can actually see where your money and donations go, but you can also get involved with this amazing organization. Visit them here to learn more: https://www.afcaids.org/

102 - From Founder to CEO with The Jill James

102 - From Founder to CEO with The Jill James

Jill James is a female powerhouse, who helps self-funded business owners go from being the founder to CEO. This is the cure for entrepreneurs who work 80+ hours a week, which can be fixed in a matter of a couple of weeks, without losing any profits. She is not the one to give generic advice like "raise your prices" or "hire more people."  Jill comes from humble beginnings – she comes from a small town of 1000 people in rural Wisconsin. She then was a Wall Street banker as well as COO for a venture-backed tech start-up while being 7-months pregnant, and realizing that something had to change. Today, she has worked with hundreds of self-funded businesses and helped them develop into multi-million dollar companies.

What makes Jill a great leader? In her own words: "It's of the utmost importance to me to be a partner and ally for the people I work with and align my expertise to their values and goals by listening. I lead through the lens of service."

12:08  Jill explains the major differences between the characteristics of the CEO and the Founder thinking, why we should keep the checkbook under our control as a CEO to avoid any serious mistakes. Why understanding the mechanics of your business is much more important than knowing about numbers because you can learn the numbers.

15:35  Jill talks about the importance of building a professional team and finding partners to get advice and help from them to gain much time and money to run your business in the way you want,

18:55  How founders create values and vision of how the business will function and how that helps the process of taking decisions and make it much easier and more efficient.

23:41  Jill talks about her two programs “Founder to CEO” and “the business design Bootcamp”, how she works with her clients and what program work for each client, how she adapts to each special case to help them reach planned goals

27:57  What are the clients that Jill works with, what are the most important things to make the business succeed, how working with a variety of businesses helps her work with many customers and help them make the right decision and boost their activity,

This week on the MaYapinion™ podcast, we have Christie Marchese who is the founder and CEO of Kinema. She is also, of course, a true leader of her life and knows a thing or two about leadership. Kinema is a new social cinema platform that is building a world-wide network of screening hosts, filmmakers and filmgoers.

Throughout that time, Christie noticed a gap within the entertainment industry -- one that she felt confident that she could fill.

Kinema is a social cinema platform that profiles the stories that deserve to be told. As the connective tissue to the future of cinema, Kinema gives the film marketing and distribution industry a new way to offer social, immersive, and unique cinematic experiences. The pandemic diminished the ability to gather in large public spaces; however, the demand for content and community grew. Kinema’s mission is to offer filmmakers and communities alike opportunities to experience cinema anywhere. The team is committed to being a resource to filmmakers and distributors by providing a new way of digital distribution, marketing and monetization.


1:09 Christie talks about her company “Kinema”, how she created it, what the company makes, and how it works.

05:36 Christie speaks about how she started her career in developing marketing and social action campaigns for films, how she founded her first company Picture Motion, how she leads it and how she grew up in the business, The story of her old company “Story spaces”, and how she used technology to develop her businesses.

10:29 Why believing in the idea is so important as a first step to succeed, where does Christie get the push and funding to create a new product or start a new business, and how does she find new partners for her company.

14:40 How important is it to get used to handling crisis and how it helps become a successful leader,

17:25 How Christie deals with her partners, she shares some of her stories with her partners, how to find the right partners and how crucial is it to have a good relationship with them, and building strong relationships with your partners.

23:05 How important is it to divide between friendship and partnership and how to set proper expectations from partners and friends,

27:08 How to take advantage of Kinema, what is its benefits, and how to use it properly.

90 - Defining Resilience with Jodi Woelkerling

90 - Defining Resilience with Jodi Woelkerling

This week, we welcome Jodi Woelkerling to the MaYapinion™ Podcast! Jodi Woelkerling works with individuals and businesses to help them to build resilient cultures and resilient individuals within that culture. Much of her work is with leaders, assisting them with their own resilience and with leading resilient teams. She is the author of "World Class Leadership" for Senior Executives as well.

01:14 Jodi Talks about her new book “world class leadership" for senior executives

3:19  How women can build their own resilience

5:38  The three levels to keep resilience consistent and solid

17:08  Talks about her working life and the progression that helps her create programs

21:21  Her advices about culture

24:28  How she defines resilience in leadership for women

About Jodi in her words:

For more than 25-years, I have worked in financial, educational, service, and product-based organisations in various managerial roles from quality assurance through to financial management, business banking, and branch management. During this time, I've witnessed cultural clashes, and I've also felt the brunt of the stress it generates firsthand.    

My experience, coupled with several tertiary level qualifications in education, accounting and financial advice, have heightened my understanding of business and organisational culture and raised my awareness of the impact of stress on individuals in a team and their leaders. Having witnessed cultural barriers and difficulties firsthand as a leader within a corporate organisation, I empathised with others that were experiencing the same challenges, and I wanted to make changes to prevent myself and others from burning out or feeling that they were inadequate or underappreciated when they were competent and highly valued.   

By 2016 I had reached a turning point. Feeling that I was teetering on the edge of burnout, I looked towards building my resilience—surely there was something better than what I was currently doing? Something that gave me a better quality of life and was far more rewarding.  At the time, I didn't know what this was, then I started exploring options and completing further study. Becoming a 'Success Principles' certified trainer, health and life coach and neuro-linguistic programming practitioner and then pairing this with my corporate knowledge and understanding of leadership, then paved the way for me to help others overcome their resilience challenges and later cultural barriers in their workplace.   

Initially helping individuals, I realised that far more could be done to assist these and other people experiencing resilience challenges by focusing my aptitude on the source—organisational culture—where many of the stressors existed. The natural progression from one to many was systematic as I had experienced the power corporate culture exerted and how this could have an adverse effect on the business's success and on the individuals that contributed to that success.   I am passionate about using my knowledge and experience to assist businesses to build an enduring resilient culture at the whole culture level, the various levels of leadership within the business and at the individual level, so that the business as a whole and the individuals within the business can experience the enormous benefits of an enduring resilient culture.

88 - Veganism and Healthy Living with Plant-based IQ founder Pamela DeRitis

88 - Veganism and Healthy Living with Plant-based IQ founder Pamela DeRitis

Let's talk plant based this week! Here a little more about our guest:

Pamela's interest in health and wellness blossomed in her twenties when she began a quest to absorb all of the nutrition information she could get her hands on. She had just graduated college where she ate fairly well but had some struggles with her health nonetheless. Her resultant health quest soon led her to learn about the meat industry and how animals we consider “food” are treated in the system we in the West call “agribusiness.” She became a vegetarian from that research, but that wasn’t the end of her journey. Years after going vegetarian Pamela started learning about other aspects of animal agriculture as well as the health implications of eating animal foods, and quickly realized that being vegetarian wasn’t enough. It was then that she made the decision to go vegan.

"Our lives are only as good as our health. I founded Plant-based IQ to educate my clients about the link between diet and disease and help them create their own path forward as they transition in part or in whole to plant-based eating. My goal is to enable the betterment of my client's health, the health of animals, and of our planet.  A plant-based diet has been shown to be instrumental in halting and even reversing heart disease and other "diseases of affluence" by turbocharging the body's ability to heal itself. I educate others about how and why diet can have such a powerful impact on disease outlooks and make the case for moving toward a more plant-based diet." - Pamela DeRitis

84 - Be the Leader of Your Life with Purpose

84 - Be the Leader of Your Life with Purpose

Purpose reaches a different depth to any conversation and leadership is not exempt. In my opinion, we spend our entire lives trying to figure out what our “purpose” in this life actually is and do we have one? Well, I think we all have a purpose, in fact, many “purposes” in our lives. As far as leadership goes though, purpose is a direct reflect of your value in many ways and it’s why it’s important that you identify those values first (as I wrote about in part one of Be the Leader of Your Life).

If you are still stuck on the first part, values, and still trying to figure it out, answer this for yourself. What is more important than anything else to you? What would you not jeopardize for money or for comfort? Those tend to be your values. For example, if someone told me that I would be paid a billion dollars, then I would be excited… we all would. Let’s change the circumstance. If someone tells me that he will pay me a billion dollars, but I can never tell anyone about the crime I witnessed and I would disappear from my “normal life.” Now, that changes things. I am not here to judge you but some of my strongest values are integrity, honesty and justice. Therefore, I could never accept that offer, but some who value wealth over those value may be able to. Try this exercise if you are still working on your values. We actually play these games on social media all the time and don’t even realize it. Start paying attention because you choices show you your values and your values shape your purpose, especially in leadership.

Novice leaders may tell you that their purpose is to “change the world” or “to influence others” and those are great and lofty goals. But as leaders, we do not influence others or change the world by setting out with that purpose. That’s why understanding your values is key. As a young leader starting out, I didn’t even know I was a leader. You could say that my most important value besides determination was wealth because I wanted to make money. However, through the discover of my values my purpose became to form, shape, and evolve. I didn’t start my career after college with my diploma in hand thinking, “OK, time to go empower women to be the leaders of their life and hopefully, learn from all my mistakes.” Um, no. I even laugh to myself just writing that. But, I did understand my values because I knew what felt aligned with me.

A mistake we all make as leaders is we go along with our companies’ values, mission, vision, and even, its purpose. The trouble there is that it’s so important that it’s the other way around. That’s why I started this series, group, and will be releasing more information about being the leader of your life. We have it all wrong. It’s all about your values, mission, vision, and definitely, your purpose as you move through life. You must ask yourself if that aligns with the company you are working for, and yes, even if you have built your own company because everything evolves and changes, companies that even you have founded, and you will definitely grow and evolve many times in this life. Your values build your purpose.

83 - Be the Leader of Your Life with a Mission

83 - Be the Leader of Your Life with a Mission

Understanding your mission in this life is key to understanding how to become the leader of your life. There are a lot of misconceptions about “your mission though.” I feel the word itself can sometimes be intimidating for a lot of people. But think of it this way, if a company or brand does not have a mission, then are we going to understand it, let alone support it? Probably not. That’s one of the reasons I feel discovering and having a personal mission is one of the four components to being the leader of your life.

You might realize that you are completely clueless right now as to what your mission in life is at the point. That’s OK and probably why you are reading this. Another aspect about learning and crafting your mission is that it is completely OK for it for adapt and change. We do as individuals as we grow and learn, so it’s completely normal and expected for our mission to as well. For instance, when I was in my twenties, my mission was to inspire young women to pursue careers and financial independence. A personal mission for me was to live that life; have a successful career, have financial independence, and be a strong role model for young women. Now that I am older, my mission has evolved. Perhaps it has not changed entirely but it has evolved. My mission is to help women step into their leadership and become the leaders of their life.

In my opinion, as we evolve, our mission statement or personal mission evolves too. It evolves as we evolve through the stages of our life. We actually find this with companies and teams too and that’s OK. But, if we do not have a mission statement to guide us then we could find ourselves a bit lost as leaders of anything, including the leaders of our lives. So, how do we figure out our mission statement? Well, there’s a reason I talked about values in part one of “be the leader of your life” because understanding what values are important to you will shape your mission statement. Once you have identified your values, then you can begin to really craft and have fun with the creation of your mission statement.

In my opinion, that is exactly why values are the core of it all because now, you can build upon them. Now, you can build your mission statement. Values for most people typically remain tried and true, so as missions, visions, and purpose evolve; you will always have your core values to keep you anchored in my opinion. I’ll use myself as an example. My core values are honesty, integrity, determination, equality, courage, independence, courage, success and did I mention determination? I’m sure I have left a few out but these are the main ones. You get the picture. But how did my values develop my mission? Or do I only have one mission? Do you only have one mission?

Remember starting out in my career, all I knew is that I wanted to make a lot of money and mentor and support other women. As I saw and experienced situations, people, things, etc… I developed my mission. I actually realized how great it made me feel to be so honest and to act with integrity. I observed and felt how my determination was not only a value, but a superpower for me. I enjoyed being independent and providing for myself and found great success. I valued this within myself and others. I could go on but I think that helps to paint by journey and reflection about values. Some of the most poignant moments were when my values were challenged by others. I look back now and realize that is truly when my mission was born. But, I also see that is when it evolves, when it is challenged. It grows and evolves.

82 - Be the Leader of Your Life with Values

82 - Be the Leader of Your Life with Values

What does it mean to be the leader of your life? Well, to most people, they think that they have to have a title, a team, or someone appointing us as a leader in some sort of fashion. In my opinion, that’s not what makes you a leader, and I’ve spoken openly about this on my blog and my podcast for almost two years now. I talk often about being a leader before any of those moments happen to you… before you get the promotion to manager or director or VP and so on. When you step into your leadership now, that’s what makes you a leader.

But, how do we do that? And what does that mean to “step into our leadership?” In my opinion, it means to be the leader of your life. You can’t effectively lead others if you are not already leading the life that YOU want to live. That doesn’t mean that you must have it all figured out. We are all figuring it out along the way. It does mean that you have to know what is important to you as an individual and ensure that you are applying those tools into your own life.

So, how do you know if you are the leader of your life? Or how do you become the leader of your life? Over a few episodes and blog posts I am going to talk about the important factors and tools that help you become the leader of your life. Let’s start with the core and the foundational basics that you need to understand about yourself to become the leader of your life.

I’ve talked about the importance of purpose, values, mission, and vision as far as an organization goes and how important it is for you as a leader to drive these factors. But, these elements are even more important for you as the leader of your life. Your purpose, values, mission, and vision will shape you as a leader in every aspect of your life and you can carry that into your “title leadership” roles too. It also helps you realize whether or not you align with clients, organizations, or anyone that you will work with or hire.

Most of us struggle with purpose. I know I have several times in my life and in my opinion, I think it’s important to know that purpose is something that can evolve in life. Your life purpose will always be evolving and will be a result of your values, mission, and vision. Most of us believe we must find this great purpose for us being on this planet. In my opinion, yes, we all have a purpose but you can have several. That’s why as the leader of your life you need to dive in and explore what’s important to you, your values.

I encourage everyone to evaluate the most important values first. When you are examining who you are, I think it’s imperative to ask yourself what values are the most important to you. This is the core of you and how you will lead your life. Here are some of the most common values:

Achievement

Adventure

Courage

Creativity

Dependability

Determination

Friendship

Health

Honesty

Independence

Integrity

Intelligence

Justice

Kindness

Learning

Love

Peace

Perfection

Security

Simplicity

Sincerity

Spontaneity

Success

Understanding

Wealth

And there are many more. The best way to figure out what is important to you and what your important values are is to ask yourself some questions.

What makes me feel good? (If you like to win awards and it makes you feel happy, achievement might be one of your top values).

What makes me angry? (For example, when people are dishonest to you, you get really upset. Honesty is probably a value for you).

What type of career do you have or want to have? (For example, you like seeking out help for those who have been wronged, then justice is more than likely a value for you).

81 - Being the first female President and the importance of culture with Sandra Duff of Jackman

81 - Being the first female President and the importance of culture with Sandra Duff of Jackman

As President of Jackman, North America's leading customer engagement reinvention company, Sandra is responsible for both the business's long-term vision and day-to-day management. Sandra leads a talented team of 100+ reinventions with an engaging, highly motivating leadership style that fosters a culture of openness and champions ingenuity and collaboration. Sandra lives in Toronto, Canada, works across North America, and has been featured in major outlets like Forbes, Fast Company, and Thrive Global.

[28:33] Tips for building a strong culture in a working environment

[33:50] How it feels to be the first female president

[37:45] Target and Ideal client for Jackman

Taking a step backward to cope with her challenges

Sandra was struggling from a couple of perspectives; number one was juggling everything and keeping all the balls in the air. And number two was because her family situation hadn't changed. there was just a lot on her plate. She drained mentally and was having a hard time. Then she made the difficult decision to go back to client-side work.

Sandra's opinion on the two years resumes rule.

Sandra’s opinion is that now more than ever, people have the permission to break those standard air, quote, standard rules. You know, we see people leaving work. They're not sure necessarily what's next. But they know that their work Nessus doesn't fit the purpose drive for them right now. And so, you see people exploring new things, or new opportunities, or moving into different roles that they just want to study. So I think now we should kind of erase that rule from our memories right now. Because I believe we are setting the new standard moving forward.

Tips for building a strong culture in a working environment

One of the super important things that we did, and I think it's going on now, three, almost four years ago, is we decided, as a leadership team, to establish some values for our organization. And then I think the other piece about the culture that's been a focus for us the last few years is the transparency policy in our teams, Some difficult decisions are made that are the decision of our founder, Joe, or us as a leadership team. But wherever possible, we consistently pulsar teams, and that's important down to like, What do you want.

How it feels to be the first female president

When we were first talking about this, it was super daunting to think about this. I think I was equal measure excited and anxious or nervous. When I was thinking, how do I make my mark, I thought what was interesting is that Joe has given me the opportunity as the first president of Jackman also to be a female leader, And, often as female leaders, we think we need to fit a mold or fit a step, not a stereotype but like a particular characteristic. And what was interesting is I know I can't be Joe. Joe is so dynamic, and so Joe, that I am not going to be my best self Trying to mold myself to be just like him. But I think that gives me the AHA that I'm me. And there are great things about me and what I bring to the table.

80 - Navigating the path from Team Member to Leader & Self-Awareness with Beth Wonson

80 - Navigating the path from Team Member to Leader & Self-Awareness with Beth Wonson

In this episode, I have Beth Wonson; we discuss a couple of essential topics in leadership, ranging from her transition from being a team member to a leader, how to handle this transition, and becoming more self-aware.

Beth Wonson started her career out in public education, and she went into public education because she had two little kids at home; she wanted to be able to have summers off with them and weekends, but she quickly learned that public education was not for her because it didn’t work out the way she wanted. Hence, she went to work for a company that did corporate consulting, and organizational development work, and leadership training, and her career took off there. She went from being an entry-level employee to managing and running a pretty big department quickly.

Beth created Navigating Challenge dialogue out of her process of examining how traditional leadership skills fail organizations' mission and goals. She studied how leaders working in isolation and staff working in competitive silos adversely affect the prosperity of the whole company.

[32:05]- Ideal people she works with

Explaining her transition, Beth said she was on a high-performing team, and she loved it because they were all great together and even had cocktails on Thursdays where they talked about leadership, so when she was asked to leave the team, she thought it was great. The first Thursday after she was promoted, she went from the usual cocktail, and then the team was all gone; this was her first self-awareness that she was now in management.

She realized that when you get in the position, and you have more awareness of bureaucracy and policy and how things work, you suddenly realize why a lot of those things didn't weren't as simple as they seem. So a big part of her work now is helping people along that same journey she had gone through.

When asked about her take on self-awareness, Beth stated that she developed a program called navigating challenging dialogue, which is the essence of all the work that I do and the thing that makes it different than many other things like Crucial Conversations or other models, is that it's rooted in the idea of emotional self-awareness and emotional self-regulation. She went further to state that the reason she focused on that was that when she was leading that team, it was super effective, and they were getting so much stuff done and were doing great, but part of what was driving them was the fact that she was not always aware of my emotional impact. She states that it was vital for her to help people understand how to dive into self-awareness, do some self-coaching about the energy they bring to the room, and show up clean and clear for conversations.

Beth’s first point on becoming more self-aware is knowing the remedy to the power of paradox. She went further to explain that power politics tells us that the more you move up the leadership chain, the more you will lose self-awareness, the less you'll be open to feedback. The result is you have a less authentic connection with people because now you're at the top and feel protective. She states that the remedy is to sit down and listen to feedback—the second point to becoming self-aware understanding the assessment.

78 - Organizational Culture

78 - Organizational Culture

In this episode, I dive into organizational culture and discuss how to build organizational culture while outlining some tips about culture.
Culture is one of the most talked-about topics on this podcast. Every leader must cultivate a healthy organizational culture so the employees will see and emulate it. If there is no proper organizational culture in a workplace, you can expect lots of negativity and other issues to spring forth.

[18:33]- Steps to building organizational culture
Summary of crucial podcast moments
Definition of organizational culture
Maya states that organizational culture refers to the personality of an organization and relates to the day-to-day beliefs and behaviors of the employees and the entire work environment. It has to do with the energy that everyone in the workplace environment is emitting. She explained that it is also how the employees and leaders act and engage with the organization; Maya finished her definition by saying organizational culture is really about looking at the company's purpose and ensuring everyone is very clear on the vision.
Four key things that define culture
Maya mentions that in her opinion, four key things define culture, and they are purpose, mission, vision, and values. She states that if you don't have a mission, you don't have values, you don't have a purpose, and you don't have the overall vision of where you are going. Not knowing these things is going to make your team convoluted and not understand.
The importance of being clear on your purpose as a leader
In Maya’s opinion, you need to be clear about your purpose; as a leader, you have to share your vision and then the values; it is not just about writing it out or posting it everywhere; you have to live and breathe it every day, so your employees will see it and follow-through
Why a leader needs to embody and identify their values
As a leader, your employees look up to you; it's just like you are the value book they are reading and whatever you act is what they will follow, so it is crucial that you keep steering and showing that vision while still living breathing your values.
Steps to building organizational culture
Maya states that to build a healthy organizational culture, you need to identify your mission, purpose, vision, and value and then figure out what makes sense for you, how you can embody that and give it to your team. Then you can dive into more steps and start implementing them in your organization.

[30:02]-Nuggets and Advice for listeners

[31:31]-Brandi’s typical client and how to contact her

Brandi’s blogging niche

Brandi stated that she can't even tell what her early blog was all about and that she was trying to use the blog as a way to flirt with a co-worker because she was charming in her writing, but when she went to grad school, she began to blog twice because that was a creative outlet for her.

So, she was blogging about lifestyle stuff.

When asked about her business evolved, she states that it was slow at first. She worked for a nonprofit at the time, and that was her full-time job, but on the side, she was supporting friends that needed help, then she had a designer reach out to her to build several themes.

After that, she realized she was getting many jobs, so she quit and became a freelancer.

Brandi stated it is essential for people who are starting to start simple. She explains that when starting, you do not need a 15 paged site with all the integrations and shiny stuff; you can create a one-page site that conveys basic information that people need. She went further to state that when working with clients, it is vital to ask them about people they have worked with to have an idea on how to work with them.

In summary, she states;

· The first step is to get the client

· The second is to keep it simple

When asked about her advice for the listeners, Brandi stated a couple of things that were the takeaway. She said people need to learn to embrace the evolution rather than trying to get to a particular point; she went ahead to mention that it's not just about perfection but excellence because perfection is getting to a place and rigidly adhering to being there while excellence on the other is embracing the evolution of it all. In her words, “it’s all an evolution."

76 - Effectively Leading Remote Teams

76 - Effectively Leading Remote Teams

Remote leadership has been around for awhile but not everyone has been a believer, let alone, a practicer. When the pandemic hit, most of us were not really given a choice about remote leadership. Those of use who have already led teams remotely in the past or who were already leading remotely definitely had a leg up when things went to hell fast in 2020. The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way we do business and work forever which means it changes our management as well. In my opinion, remote leadership is not going anywhere. In fact, I know that we will see more and more of it.

I am unique in the sense that I have been leading teams and programs remotely since 2010 and I am comfortable doing so. Yes, I did it before Zoom was popular and we used a clunky blackberry to connect. And yes, a text message was not considered a proper “check-in.” As I interview some incredible leaders on MaYapinion, I find that I am not alone and there are more of us out here that have been effectively leading remotely pre-pandemic or pre-covid. However, I know a lot of you did not have that experience prior and it was and maybe still is a challenge. Trust me, I get it. I went from an environment where I saw my employees daily to almost never back in 2010 and I worked from home and an airport instead of a store. It was a shock.

So what are some of the challenges that most of us face with remote leadership? Well, according to you, my readers, these are the top challenges: You aren’t able to supervise your employees face to face, potential distractions with “work from home,” it can be isolating socially for your teams, information may fall through the cracks, and enhanced issues among the team may arise due to the remote work. Can you relate to any of this as a remote leader? Or perhaps you have experienced this over the past year on a remote team? The great news? All of these challenges are totally manageable, and I’ve gone through them as well. Although, in my opinion, navigating a pandemic AND learning to how to lead remotely is a challenge in itself so give yourself some credit.

That's exactly what we do in this episode... explore the challenges of remote leadership and I share my opinion of how to overcome these challenges from my own personal experiences from over 11 years of remote leadership. Yes, I was leading remotely... before it was a thing. I am super jealous of all the technology at your finger tips now as a remote leader. As I mentioned, I was at the mercy of my trusty Blackberry and email. Wow, times have changed. So, I hope you enjoy this episode and the tips I share to creating a great environment for your remote team through your excellent skills as a remote leader.
