#157 Beate Chelette, The Growth Architect (Part1)

This week we have part two of my chat with Beate Chelette, The Growth Architect and founder of The Women’s Code. She creates strategies, designs, process maps and blueprints for visionaries and leaders who want to maximize their profits and scale their impact.

 A first-generation immigrant who found herself $135,000 in debt as a single parent, Beate bootstrapped her passion for photography into a highly-successful global business and eventually sold it to Bill Gates in a multimillion-dollar deal.

Beate is “One of 100 Top Global Thought Leaders in 2021” by PeopleHum and “One of 50 Must-Follow Women Entrepreneurs by HuffPost. She is the author of the #1 International Award Winning Amazon Bestseller “Happy Woman Happy World – How to Go from Overwhelmed to Awesome”–a book that corporate trainer and best-selling author Brian Tracy calls “a handbook for every woman who wants health, success and a fulfilling career.”

Recent clients include Amazon, Chevron, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Johnson & Jonson, Merck, the Women’s Legislative Caucus of California Cal State University Dominguez Hills, the Greater Los Angeles Realtor Association,Advertising Agency TracyLocke and thousands of small businesses.

#155 Lindsay Scott, The PMO Flash Mob Collector (Part 2)(Rerun)

In this episode I have a rerun of part 2 of my chat with Lindsay Scott, The PMO Mob Collector. Lindsay Scott co-founded Arras People in 2002 following a career at Esso and Hewlett Packard. Following her graduation from Manchester University, Lindsay went onto work within the recruitment arm of Esso before leaving to join Hewlett Packard. At Hewlett Packard, she worked within the professional services consulting division, first as a Project Co-ordinator and then the Project Office Manager for the division. It was during her time at Hewlett Packard, recruiting for a project office of 20+ members that Lindsay came face to face with the issues of recruiting good project management professionals.  When the opportunity came along to set up her own business she knew there was definitely a place in the UK recruitment market for a recruitment agency that really understood its subject matter.  Lindsay manages the marketing and sales function at Arras People today; in addition, she still occasionally recruits for PMO roles (because she can’t resist!) and provides careers clinics for PMO professionals. Lindsay also carries out speaking engagements on project management careers topics and can be contacted through Arras People for more information.  For more information about Lindsay take a look at the following links: Website:: arraspeople.co.uk or pmoflashmob.org Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/pmolindsay Twitter: www.twitter.com/arraspeople Blog: arraspeople.co.uk/camel-blog

#145 Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy (Part 2)

#145 Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy (Part 2)

This week I have part 2 of my interview with Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy,


Glenn, the only child of two hard-working parents, grew up on the streets of New York City. He played street games like stickball, punchball, 3-box baseball and Johnny-on-the Pony with his buddies. He loved the competitive aspects of sports and the opportunities it provided for leadership. As he got older and taller, he moved on to competitive schoolyard and recreational league basketball.

All these experiences came together and evolved when he attended an 8-week summer camp in upstate New York. Glenn especially loved the camp season finale when the entire camp of several hundred youngsters was divided into two teams for a week of Olympic-style competition in all manner of sports from baseball to archery to swimming. At age 15 Glenn was selected to serve as captain of one team where led a group of boys that ranged from five to 15 years of age requiring him to provide leadership in the form of support, motivation and positive influence to a varied group.

In high school and later in college, Glenn played varsity sports where he learned the values of hard work, practice and collaboration. The sum total of these experiences helped Glenn learn that when he worked hard --- whether in sports or in the classroom ---- he succeeded.

He took those values into his work life. After working for several organizations, Glenn and a colleague started a small business as training and organizational development consultants. The business took Glenn to all parts of the US giving him the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people working in a wide variety of industries and occupations. During this time, he narrowed the focus of the consulting to building effective teams and creating team-based organizations.

Glenn always loved to write --- his first article was published while he was still in graduate school --- but it took a while for him to work up the courage and confidence to write a book. With the encouragement of Peter Block, Jossey-Bass published his first book, Team Players and Teamwork in 1990 that went on to be a best-seller. The book included a self-assessment survey which was subsequently published as a separate booklet and went on to sell more than one million copies as the Parker Team Player Survey. Many books and leader guides followed including another best-seller, Cross-Functional Teams: Working with Allies, Enemies and Other Strangers. His most recent book, co-authored with his son, Michael is Positive Influence: The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self (HRD Press, 2020).

A graduate of City College of New York with a B.A., Glenn also holds an M.A. from the University of Illinois and has studied for the doctorate at Cornell. He also studied at the University of Oslo.

Outside of work Glenn has always been on the front lines of political and social causes as well as charitable issues such as cancer. He is a cancer survivor and long-time volunteer with the American Cancer Society. He co-founded Run for Dad, an annual event that draws some 1,500 people and is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of prostate cancer and funds for cancer research.

Glenn and his wife, Judy, live in central New Jersey. They are parents of three grown children and grandparents to six wonderful grandchildren all of whom live nearby. Judy and Glenn share of love of travel having visited numerous places around the world to enjoy art, culture, history and good food.

#144 Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy (Part 1)

This week I have part 1 of my interview with Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy,


Glenn, the only child of two hard-working parents, grew up on the streets of New York City. He played street games like stickball, punchball, 3-box baseball and Johnny-on-the Pony with his buddies. He loved the competitive aspects of sports and the opportunities it provided for leadership. As he got older and taller, he moved on to competitive schoolyard and recreational league basketball.

All these experiences came together and evolved when he attended an 8-week summer camp in upstate New York. Glenn especially loved the camp season finale when the entire camp of several hundred youngsters was divided into two teams for a week of Olympic-style competition in all manner of sports from baseball to archery to swimming. At age 15 Glenn was selected to serve as captain of one team where led a group of boys that ranged from five to 15 years of age requiring him to provide leadership in the form of support, motivation and positive influence to a varied group.

In high school and later in college, Glenn played varsity sports where he learned the values of hard work, practice and collaboration. The sum total of these experiences helped Glenn learn that when he worked hard --- whether in sports or in the classroom ---- he succeeded.

He took those values into his work life. After working for several organizations, Glenn and a colleague started a small business as training and organizational development consultants. The business took Glenn to all parts of the US giving him the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people working in a wide variety of industries and occupations. During this time, he narrowed the focus of the consulting to building effective teams and creating team-based organizations.

This week I have part two of my interview with Ken Stearns, The Guy with a Jar.

Online PM Courses: ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/onlinepmcourses⁠
Riverside: ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/riverside⁠
Ken is a grandfather, father, midwestern boy, writer, speaker, photographer, and lyricist. In his early fifties, he decided to replace his habit of reading with writing while travelling. Little did he know that this simple change would lead him on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity.
For 20 years, he lived and worked in 15 countries across Asia, immersing himself in new cultures, languages, and experiences. Along the way, he found himself consumed by the thoughts inside him as they fought tirelessly to be heard. Writing became his outlet, his way of processing the world around him and sharing his ideas with others. And with a lot of time on his hands in cars, planes, and airports, it poured out of him.
As he embraced change and pursued his passion for writing, he discovered new depths of growth and transformation. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but taking chances and trying new things can lead to unimaginable opportunities and personal fulfilment.
At 59 years old, Ken left his corporate job behind to dedicate his life to giving real people and real conversations a place to be heard. He is a man on a mission; uncovering the true essence of America.
Armed with a jar full of questions that he developed over three years of self-reflection, Ken is on the road interviewing strangers in 111 cities across the nation. Each episode of The Jar features a new guest whose life story unfolds slowly through the thought-provoking questions in hand. Listen to guests’ share their deepest thoughts, struggles, and triumphs, painting a vivid picture of the human experience.
Now 60, he's fueled by passion and purpose as he’s turning strangers into friends. With the help of a remote small team, he's dedicated to giving everyday Americans a platform to be heard. With no topic or story off limits, you can expect to hear some of the most fascinating and unexpected stories from the most unexpected people. From the bustling streets of New York City to the serene shores of Santa Monica, The Jar is discovering the lives of the strangers you pass by on the street.
The Jar is more than a podcast - it's a movement to highlight what it means to be human and live well, together. Ken's journey will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, inspiring you to see the world in a new light. So buckle up, and join Ken Stearns on this thrilling adventure as he discovers the heart and soul of America, one conversation at a time. And who knows? You just might be the next guest on The Jar, sharing your story and leaving a lasting impact on the world.
