EEC 336: How To Get High Paying Clients with TikTok Live, with Brian O'Neill

Brian O’Neill is a Chicago-based real estate investor, author, podcast host, and coach who turned his life around from being stuck in a high-earning yet unfulfilling corporate sales job. How do you use TikTok/Instagram to promote your brand? What is your strategy? How often do you post and what do you post? How did you grow your following to where it is now? Why should someone with a product or service be on TikTok? What advice would you give to someone just starting out? What if they are camera-shy? Brian O'Neill Brian O’Neill is a Chicago-based real estate investor, author, podcast host, and coach who turned his life around from being stuck in a high-earning yet unfulfilling corporate sales job. For 25 years, Brian felt trapped, living a lifestyle that demanded he stay in his job, despite it costing him precious moments with his young son and leaving him filled with regret. Flying over 100,000 miles a year, he was missing life at home, and it was eating him up inside. The turning point came when his son expressed how much he missed him. This was the wake-up call Brian needed to break free from what he calls the 'W2 prison' he had built for himself. He realized that the real barriers holding him back were all in his head. Now, Brian is living proof that it's possible to break free and live life on your terms. He's made it his mission to help others who feel stuck in their jobs, believing that a shift in mindset is all it takes to change your life. He speaks from experience when he says you're never too trapped to make a change. Brian's message is clear and simple: believe in yourself, change how you think, and you can change your life. Brian firmly believes it's never too late to chase the life you’ve always wanted. Excellent Executive Coaching Podcast If you have enjoyed this episode, subscribe to our podcast on iTunes.

For more than 25 years, Lisa Tromba has guided companies from mid-market enterprises to Fortune 100 powerhouses in searching for and selecting their executive leadership. You talk about what you call “mind knots.” What exactly are they, and how do they impact leaders? What are some strategies leaders can use to identify their own prominent mind knots? You suggest leaders should ask themselves one key question every day: Who am I practicing becoming? Why is this question so important, and how can it help leaders transform their mind knots into tools that move them and their organizations forward? You call attention to the fact that while cognitive and emotional biases are important to understand when selecting leaders, it’s a leadership lens that is overlooked in most organizations. Can you explain more about the importance of this lens and why it matters? In your book, you refer to what you call a “Captain’s Compass.” Can you describe what a Captain’s Compass is and how it can help leaders overcome their cognitive biases?

Joanna Lindenbaum is an expert in transformation who helps coaches and healers take their coaching skills to the next level. She believes that the coaching, healing, consulting & transformational industries have the power to change the world in extraordinary ways. Tell me about the Resistance Archetypes and how they impact clients? How do you know when someone is in Resistance, isn't it the same as being in Fear? What is the best way to help someone in Resistance? What if you can’t identify an Archetype, is something else going on? Can you tell me about a time when you were in Resistance, and how you worked your way through it?

She could see the property could deliver that, so she set to! She started The Good Property Company in 2011, as a kitchen table start-up.

In the first four 1/2 years of being full-time in property, The Good Property Company sourced more than 200+ properties, all in Bristol, with a value of over £45 million, at a purchase price of £30 million (before refurb).

EEC 322: How to Improve Workplace Culture, with Nancy Lyons

Nancy, CEO and co-founder of Clockwork, is an outspoken advocate for making work better. More inclusive, flexible, and adaptable. No one does great work if they’re worried or if they can’t bring their whole self to work. And she learned this the hard way: by having terrible jobs and not fitting in. How did your own experience of not "fitting in" inform your approach to leadership? What was the final trigger that made you leave corporate life to become an entrepreneur? What are the ways an individual at each level of a company can impact culture? A leader? An employee? A team? How does supporting families fit into creating an environment of belonging? What are the biggest cultural shifts you've seen in your 20 years of leadership? Nancy Lyons Nancy, CEO and co-founder of Clockwork, is an outspoken advocate for making work better. More inclusive, flexible, and adaptable. No one does great work if they’re worried or if they can’t bring their whole self to work. And she learned this the hard way: by having terrible jobs and not fitting in. Her first book was Interactive Project Management: Pixels, People, and Process, a human-centered approach to producing digital products. Her current book, Work Like a Boss: A kick-in-the-pants Guide to Finding (and Using) your Power at Work, is the little book everyone needs to remember the actions, attitudes, and attributes that will make work better, for individuals and everyone around them.

EEC 295: Unlocking Your Leadership Style from Your Assumptions, with Stephen Barden

Stephen Barden is a renowned leadership coach and mediator with over a decade of experience at CEO and executive board level in the media, technology and communications sectors. He has been in private practice since 2001, working across Europe and the USA, helping both individual senior leaders and organisations develop sustainable and ethical cultures aligned with their strategy and overall purpose. Why did you write your book, "How Successful Leaders do Business with their World?" How do you define organizational culture and why is it important for leaders to understand it? What is the "Navigational Stance" approach? Stephen Barden Stephen's approach is pragmatic and holistic, emphasising the value of treating the organisation as an eco-system with both internal and external linkages and interdependencies. He also advises senior management and HR departments on Governance and sustainable work practices. Stephen is the author of the researched book, How Successful Leaders Do Business with Their World. Based on interviews with military, corporate and educational leaders, the book presents compelling evidence that top leaders learn from a very early age to 'do business with the world' by using their power and authority to partner with it, rather than impose themselves on it. Stephen uses these findings and insights, as well as studies from his own corporate leadership.

Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC talks with Elaine Bennett about the importance of “being you” in all communication as they answer the following questions. What are the top communications mistakes that keep executives from advancing? How can clients position themselves for growth through speaking? Why you shouldn't try to be Oprah (unless you're Oprah) Why do you hate bullet points so much? What kind of humor works best in a business setting? Elaine Bennett Elaine Bennett’s name may sound familiar. She is an award-winning speechwriter and definitely not the lady from Seinfeld, whose last name was Benes. Elaine is a strategic messaging consultant. She advises clients from Fortune 50 CEOs to entrepreneurs on their messaging. She also creates and delivers trainings on how to improve the writing of everything from internal communications to speeches. Her 2019 TEDx Talk tackles the topic of how language can change the world. She began her career on Wall Street 25+ years ago, as speechwriter for the CEO of Salomon Brothers. When scandal forced the executive to resign, Warren Buffett stepped in as Interim CEO—and Elaine’s newest client. Mr. Buffett offered Elaine one of his highest compliments: "You have a terrific ear and you turn straight thinking into straight writing.” And that’s what she’s been doing ever since—melding the mind of a businessperson with the sensibility of an outsider to tell complex stories in a sophisticated but relatable way. Or as another client put it, “Elaine is the Obi-Wan of speechwriting.” Excellent Executive Coaching Podcast If you have enjoyed this episode, subscribe to iTunes.

EEC 162: How to Reach Optimum Performance Whether You Are an Athlete, Artist or Business Executive with Bradley Donohue

Do you feel you are not moving forward fast enough? Are your goals never being reached? Find out how you can accelerate your performance with this optimization program. Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC asks Dr. Bradley Donohue to discuss the questions below as Dr. Donohue explains how to reach optimum performance. The optimization programs you developed with support from the National Institute of Health in the U.S. (like the Optimum Performance Program for Sports) focus on mental wellness and performance at the same time. How do these programs differ from traditional therapies that focus on eliminating problems or pathology? Our society is very goal driven, and most of our audience has been taught about SMART goals (that goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely). Your team uses the term "Dynamic Goals" as a base component. Could you tell us how you create and monitor Dynamic Goals? I know there is a lot to it, but what's The Optimum Performance Program in Sports (TOPPS)? You have a process called HEARD? What does that stand for? I know the optimization programs you developed were originally created for athletes and artists, but it seems like they may be relevant to other systems, like police organizations, universities, and corporations? Why is it important for athletes, artists, first responders, business executives, and so on to participate in optimization? Who is Bradley Donohue? Brad Donohue is a licensed clinical psychologist and Professor in the Psychology Department and Director of The Optimum Performance Program in Sports at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He's a Distinguished Alumni of Nova Southeastern University. With a recent focus on human performance and mental health, he's primarily interested in the development and evaluation of optimization programs for individuals who share unique cultures and specialized skill sets, such as athletes and artists. He's coauthored 5 books and more than 150 scientific manuscripts, and he's directed projects that have been funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and Cirque du Soleil. He's received awards for his community service, teaching and research, including the James Mikawa Award for Outstanding Contributions to Psychology, Harry Reid Silver State Research Award, Barrick Distinguished Scholar Award, and Schmeidel Lifetime Service Award.

How is Gestalt coaching a systems approach? Why does that matter?   Dorothy E. Siminovitch, PhD, MCC is an international coach, consultant, group facilitator, presenter, and author. She is the founder and principal of Gestalt Coaching Works, and co-founder of the Gestalt Center for Coaching, where she serves as senior faculty and Director of Training for the Center’s coach-training programs.

Dorothy’s recently published book, A Gestalt Coaching Primer: The Path Toward Awareness IQ, is already considered a must-have reference about the power of Gestalt theory and practice in service of coaching excellence.
