Covid has shifted the in-person experience. Once in-high demand inspirational and motivational speakers have found their world turned upside. While this can be a life-changing and demotivating reality, it didn't faze Ryan Estis.

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Pauline Crawford-Oomps

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Pauline Crawford-Oomps

In this episode of The UNFLTRD Podcast, I chat with Pauline Crawford-Oomps and get inspired. Pauline is a true leader of helping others get in touch with their true authentic selves so that we can all show up as ourselves without any masks. Pauline leads discussions on the complementary and harmonious relationship between the feminine and the masculine within each of us and how we deal with stress as well as how we can sit at the table to define our creative narrative that shapes our identity.

Through self-awareness, we can start understanding our natural states and figure out what we do well. As good leaders, we can find commonalities with others and when we realize that we don't have to do it all, we can engage others and empower them to do what comes natural to them.

As Dr. Pauline explains, it's not about taking over the world but learning to reflect in each others mirrors to create harmonious spaces by acknowledging the feminine and masculine powers within each of us. Our gender, the colour of our skin, the way we dress, pray and love, the language we speak, are not excuses to be granted less rights or opportunities.

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Kevin Monroe

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Kevin Monroe

Are you grateful? Do you realize how high emotional intelligence impacts gratitude? Do you care? I mean, do you really care--about others? 


Everything in life is a gift and gratitude is the appropriate response. 


Cultivating gratitude is important to our emotional intelligence because it increases emotional awareness and self-regulation. Expressing gratitude is not just good for us, it's good for others, something Kevin Monroe reminded me of on The UNFLTRD Podcast. 


🙏🏽When we show gratitude to others, we in turn increase our own sense of gratitude. 


🙏🏽We transform into more inspiring humans, better partners, stronger leaders. 


🙏🏽We learn to tame our monkey mind and expel the toxic thoughts and feelings that come from information overload. 


🙏🏽We reclaim our focus, manage our energy better, increase our well-being and decrease narcissistic behaviours 


🙏🏽 We nurture a positive outlook towards life, become more emotionally supportive of others, kind and compassionate 


Now that’s something to be grateful for!

The UNFLTRD Podcast with James Rosebush

The UNFLTRD Podcast with James Rosebush

In this episode of The UNFLTRD Podcast, I chat with James Rosebush about his passion for connecting with others, from the Queen of English to President Reagan, among others.
The highlight of our conversation was that we can choose the narrative we write about our times and that we have never been more united but sadly, there are forces that compel us to believe that we have never been more divided.
If we allow our blind spots to rob us of clear vision, we will surely lead from a place of fear, not love. We can learn to navigate our blind spots and gain clarity and confidence. We can choose to write better narratives that unite rather than divides us. We can embrace that while we may come from many different backgrounds, we form but one nation: humankind.
Today, we are looking to political leadership to set the tone, we are swayed by media that compels us to choose false narratives. But we can choose to become leaders who role model not role play authenticity and foster inclusion in our homes, workplaces and communities. We can become the change we want to see in the world. We can embrace the stories of others as if they were our own and lean in with curious empathy to unite, rather than move away ignorantly in fear seeking to divide.
We can become UNFLTRD leaders who lead from the heart by example, listen to understand, nurture behaviours of trust, build resilient bridges of commonality and focus to make the world a better place.
You can choose to become such a leader.
James has chooses to be such a leader. He is passionate not only about his relationships but about his work and for growing companies globally and coaching leaders driving for new levels of achievement. He is a bestselling author of three books and served as senior official at the Reagan White House. And today, he's my UNFLTRD guest.

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Alain Hunkins

When I sat down with Alain Hunkins, I enjoyed one of the most poignant and engaging conversations I’ve had on this podcast journey. 

A veritable subject matter expert in his field, Alain is able to bring the conversation to one between two colleagues, his modesty is only exceeded by his deep understanding of authentic leadership. 

As Alain explains, leadership is a skill that requires much daily practice and it’s one that comes with responsibility to role model exemplary behaviour that inspires others to walk beside us, to lead us and to have our back. Leadership is also a joyous gift that requires us to develop habits that help us make progress towards a meaningful goal.

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Jeff Koerner

Today, we need a new breed of leaders, those who lead from the heart and can make wise decisions using their expertise and experience, as well as their skills and their desire to help others.

The UNFLTRD Podcast with Monica Kretschmer

How do we change the world? We start by being the change we want to see and by lifting others so we can rise together. One way to do this is by enabling women to succeed, because when they do, we all succeed.

That's what Monica Kretschmer believes, that together, we can move mountains to make an impact in our local communities and around the globe. And she’s not afraid to embrace her fear in doing this; in fact, stepping out her comfort zone many times has enabled her to become the powerful advocate for other women and to pay it forward.

She has been called a trailblazer and her personal story of resilience gave birth to the Women of Inspiration™ Awards, (taking place this Saturday, see link in comments!), as well as other noteworthy causes committed to gender equality by raising the bar to advance women in their network, workplace, and communities.
