Kevin shares his journey from growing up on a family farm to becoming a successful leader and business owner.   In today’s episode, we discuss: Embrace the journey! Kevin Eikenberry shares how flexibility in leadership involves embracing the 'both/and' approach, allowing for flexible leadership.

Commit to the Action, Release the Outcome with Belinda Pruyne

In today's episode of Notable Leaders’ Radio, I explore strategies for designing the next chapter of your career and life in a constantly evolving marketplace. We dive into building powerful networks and uncovering the areas of learning that will enhance your relevance and impact. In this episode, we discuss: The Power of Releasing the Outcome: Shifting your focus from specific outcomes to purposeful actions can free you from the stress of rigid expectations. This mindset not only reduces pressure but also creates space for unexpected and rewarding opportunities, transforming how you approach both challenges and successes. Building Authentic Connections with Ease: Meaningful relationships develop over time through genuine interactions, not transactional exchanges. By allowing connections to flourish naturally without immediate expectations, you can cultivate a powerful network that brings unforeseen opportunities to your professional and personal life. Embracing Lifelong Learning and Experimentation: In rapidly shifting industries, relevance requires an unyielding commitment to growth and adaptation. Embracing new learning experiences with an open mind positions you to thrive amidst change, turning challenges into catalysts for advancement. Transforming Setbacks into Strategic Insights: Perceived failures are, in fact, your greatest assets on the path to higher success. Each setback provides valuable data and insights for course correction. By detaching self-worth from specific outcomes, you can maintain emotional resilience and strategic clarity.

Overcoming People Pleasing with Radical Truth Telling with Amy Armstrong

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Amy Armstrong. Amy, a conflict resolution specialist, shares her incredible journey of overcoming fear, people-pleasing, and codependency. In today’s episode, we discuss: Setting boundaries can be gentle yet firm. Knowing this encourages you to establish clear limits without feeling you must be harsh or confrontational, which can improve your relationships and overall well-being. Amy learned the importance of telling the truth and developing a personal identity at 45. This revelation reassures you that it’s never too late to discover and embrace your true self, promoting lifelong personal growth. Fear often highlights areas for personal growth. By reframing fear as a tool for self-improvement, you can embark on personal growth rather than avoidance, empowering you to face challenges head-on. Amy emphasizes authenticity as the core of credibility and personal integrity. This encourages you to be true to yourself, fostering deeper and more genuine connections with others. Inviting others to share their perspectives promotes openness. This approach helps you build more inclusive and understanding relationships, enhancing communication and conflict resolution skills. Overcoming codependency and learning not to control life is crucial. This lesson encourages you to focus on self-awareness and authenticity, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Amy's "boundary blueprint" (VOICE) guides people in setting personal boundaries. This practical framework helps you establish effective boundaries, encouraging healthier interactions and greater self-respect. Amy has a new book "Reclaim Your Power to Resolve Conflict" coming next year. Anticipating this resource prepares you to enhance your boundary-setting skills and improve your ability to resolve conflicts.   RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: Free Conflict Quiz:  https://www.thecenterforfamilyresolution.com/  Guest Bio Amy Armstrong turns conflict into fuel for personal empowerment.

Grace and Growth: Embracing Your Story and Finding Self-Compassion

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Andrea Sampson, Founder, Talk Boutique & The Thought Leader Academy. She highlights our neurodiversity and uniqueness as strengths, and implores us to walk into our brilliance with confidence. In today’s episode, we discuss: Identify patterns in your early interests. Reflect on your childhood experiences and passions. Use this self-awareness to understand the roles you naturally gravitate toward and how you can challenge or embrace them. Leverage neurodiversity as a strength. If you identify with neurodiverse traits, see them as a unique advantage rather than a limitation. Focus on how your brain’s unique way of processing information allows for deep focus and creative problem-solving, and build strategies to manage potential challenges like distractibility. Embrace leadership and visibility. If you’ve been comfortable as a supporter or in the background, consider stepping into leadership. Recognize when external forces or past beliefs might have held you back, and challenge yourself to take the lead, especially in areas where your voice and presence can create the most impact. Embrace your uniqueness. Give yourself permission to fully be who you are, without judgment. Recognize that past self-criticism was unfair and doesn't reflect your true value. Harness curiosity for growth. Let curiosity drive you to learn and explore deeply, even in areas where you feel uncertain. Dive into subjects that interest you and turn them into strengths, as growth often comes from curiosity. Share your story. Your unique experiences and perspectives are powerful. Share them with others through storytelling, as it fosters connection and can inspire others who may be in a similar place.

Once calm has been restored, it is time to gather your team(s), dissect all that happened, and identify the elements that need to be altered, enhanced, deleted, newly developed….   Foster individuality and motivate your team. Encourage your team members to develop their unique strengths and identities. Avoid forcing conformity; instead, celebrate their uniqueness and energize them with motivational moments. Use quotes, stories, or insights to keep them focused and positive. Building trust and respect. Cultivate trust and respect within your team by consistently demonstrating empathy and grace. Recognize the impact of your actions and words on others, and strive to create a supportive environment.

Stepping into a leadership role requires significant personal growth and adaptation, leading to a profound transformation. “Filling your agenda doesn’t mean that you’re going to be full. That’s more about quality than quantity.” And accepting that it's not an always must do constant battle for the most busy, it doesn't matter.

The Game of Life with Jose Berlanga

The Game of Life with Jose Berlanga

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Jose Berlanga, Real Estate Investor, Author, and Speaker. He shares his life experience of being on death's door at age four and how he developed an enlightened perspective on using his challenges for good.   In today’s episode, we discuss: “Life carves you into the person you eventually become,” says Berlanga. Overcome obstacles with the knowledge that there is learning in every experience that will guide you on your journey.  Use your challenges to your advantage. Approach them with a problem-solving attitude rather than a victim of the challenge.  “Don’t let yourself be taken over by these circumstances.” “Did my situation bother me? Yes, it affected me. Was it difficult? Extremely. But I made it a point not to stop living, to listen to myself/intuition and do what I needed to do.”  Successful entrepreneurs take risks, understand uncertainties, know from the get-go that it will be difficult, and learn the lesson in every "failure".   RESOURCES: Complementary Resources: NOTABLE GUEST INTERVIEWS: Business Owners & Entrepreneurs Podcast with Peter Boolkah: Lessons Learned: Wins, Losses, and the Raw Truth About Business Growth W/ Jose Berlanga Stories that Empower: Jose Berlanga GET UNSTUCK: Talking about entrepreneurship with Jose Berlanga ARTICLES ABOUT JOSE: MSN: The Comeback Miracle Yahoo: Jose Berlanga Unveils the Blueprint for Success with Book, 'The Business of Home Building' Guest Bio: In every facet of his life and endeavors, real estate investor, author, and speaker Jose Berlanga is a force of unwavering tenacity.  At only four years old, Jose found himself at death’s door following a devastating accident that left his body covered in third-degree burns. He spent his childhood growing up in various hospitals, leaving behind both physical and emotional scars that would carry into his adulthood. Determined not to let tragedies solely define his life story, Jose set out to make a name for himself. Led by his passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship came naturally to him. Jose’s entrepreneurial pursuits have spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant: his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits, Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real estate transactions, both buying and selling.  Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery for the Petrochemical industry, investments including a chain of Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and lastly, land development & construction.  Each success was a feat of starting from ground zero and meticulously building his wealth anew. His journey has involved constructing complex business infrastructures, only to lose them to factors beyond his control, such as economic downturns, currency fluctuations, and world financial crises. Alongside his four multimillion-dollar endeavors, there have been countless other businesses, too.  Despite facing monumental setbacks, Jose has consistently risen from the ashes of lost enterprises, reinventing himself, venturing into new industries with renewed vigor and determination, and found even greater success in each new endeavor.
