The Change Coach Presents...Get Yourself a “Hype Man”!What will be your entrepreneurship story?
Dr. Vanessa Allen didn’t want to be an entrepreneur! But she had an encouraging husband who was a serial entrepreneur himself. He stayed in her ear about going into business for herself and practicing medicine the way she wanted.
This is what can happen when you stop taking your skills and talents for granted, and listen to the people around you who see what you sometimes don’t see!
Everyone doesn’t have a hype man. No encouraging spouses in their corner. No role models or succes...

The Change Coach Presents...Your Best Speech Ever! Organize Your Speech or Interview in These Three SectionsIn this episode you’ll quickly see how fewer words, main points and slides can reduce your anxiety and improve your confidence. Meet Kristen--a sensory scientist who regularly presents testing and research findings. I'm teaching Kristen the basics in organizing a speech across three topical areas.
This episode jumps in on her 1:1 session, with Kristen's first attempt at my Box Talk technique --which she called "a dumpster fire!" Lol. Kristen wanted to organize her thoughts so she could improve her delivery, self-confidence and credibility. In under an hour, Box Talk and my stackable approach helped her narrow her...

Working in the banking industry by day, and building a following in the financial space with his spare time. He’s enthusiastic and jumps right into all of my exercises. What I love about John is that straight out the gate, he’s consistent and authentic. From my CPR approach to public speaking--giving life to your speaking opportunities with CPR--John captures the “R”! He’s incredibly relatable. He feels like the guy next door, which is very effective for the relatability factor and what’s kno...
2022-07-061h 01The Change Coach Presents...Searching for Your Passion, Finding Purpose–and Vice Versa#Entrepreneurship. Sometimes you choose it. Sometimes it happens to you while you’re chasing something else.
This episode format differs from the others. It includes several clipped highlights from a broader conversation I had with my friend and local entrepreneur, Nikita Floyd, owner of Green Forever Landscaping and Design, Inc. But there were so many nuggets and gems from our conversation I wanted to include it as a mini-episode.
Nikita's purpose led him to his passion–or maybe it was the other way around. His passion was acting. But his “little landscaping busine...

The Change Coach Presents...Kennetta Calloway is Ready to #bethebrand - Pt. 2Listen in on Part 2 of Kennetta Calloway's 1:1 coaching session. Kennetta retired from the federal government then made a professional pivot. She started a nonprofit, Broken Chains, Inc., to provide vital resources, housing and even job readiness for returning citizens.
We revisit Kennetta in week four of her 4-week coaching package. I give Kennetta feedback on the pitch deck she’s developed as part of my program, and guidance on how to speak conversationally alongside her slides versus reading from them. At first the presentation lacks warmth and it is obvious she is reading data directly from the sli...

The Change Coach Presents...Kennetta Calloway is Ready to #bethebrand - Pt. 1Kennetta Calloway retired from the federal government, and thought her next chapter would be one of travel in leisure. Instead, the release of a family member who’d been incarcerated gave her purpose for an entirely new career path–helping returning citizens avoid homelessness and recidivism by providing vital resources and transportation to assist their job hunt. She founded and leads a Washington D.C. nonprofit, Broken Chains, Inc.
In parts 1 and 2 of Kennetta’s 1:1 coaching sessions you’ll hear tremendous growth! In part 1 we join Kenetta’s very first session–week one of her 4-week coaching package. She...
