She lost everything. It made her a better leader, Corrine Gavlinski with Sindy Thomas.

Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m joined by Corinne Gavlinski , whose experience losing both of her parents to dementia fundamentally changed how she leads — and how she helps executives navigate identity shifts of their own. We talk about: ✨ The moment every high achiever eventually faces ✨ Shifting from achievement‑driven to legacy‑driven leadership ✨ Leading with more empathy after life’s hardest seasons ✨ Why developing people matters more than driving results. If you’re a leader who’s had a wake‑up call — a loss, a health scare, or a major life change — this conversation is for you.

ICC 6-2, Patrick van der Burght, Science of Persuasion, with Sindy Thomas

Send us Fan Mail Persuasion isn't just a nice-to-have --It's the skill that determines whether you get opportunities, earn cooperation and move your career forward. Persuasion is a much in-demand soft skill which should be mastered early in life, rather than late in life What Cialdini Certified Trainers teach is grounded in research and scientifically sound. He loves sharing this with professionals, but he also have a passion to teach this to young adults before they attempt to 'convince' an employer with a predicably inefficient job application and go to an interview 'unarmed' when it comes to persuasion skills. If you want to understand how persuasion really works--and how to use it ethically and effectively--this is a must listen.
