Inside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkStop Trying to Find Your PurposeI’ve spent most of my life trying to answer the question: what’s my purpose? Especially as it relates to my career.
When I thought I found it, I was over the moon!
And when the nagging thoughts returned, saying “Hmmm. I don’t really know what my purpose is any more.” I thought I was back at square one.
Nearly all of my work is about operating from the inside out. But to finally answer this question: what’s my purpose, your purpose, everything’s purpose? I went the other way around and final...
2023-05-0811 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe Good, The Bad, and The Awareness“Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.” ~ Stephen Covey
Conscious change doesn’t happen without self awareness.
If you’re not fully aware of how your thoughts, opinions, judgements, and limiting beliefs are impacting your results, then you’ll keep getting (largely) the same results.
Awareness is an increasingly popular term, and it goes hand in hand with being more “present” or “mindful.” But when you choose the path of increased self awareness, yo...
2023-05-0112 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe Secret to Personal (and Professional) DevelopmentIf you want to accelerate your personal (and professional) development, become part of a community that you support, believe in, and love.
People are like neurons in a great global brain. When they’re all “firing and wiring together,” as Dr. Joe Dispenza likes to say, we bring innovative, inspiring, and brilliant ideas to life. And in turn, you grow personally by leaps and bounds by simply being surrounded by talented people.
In this article, you learn how powerful connection is to supporting your personal and professional development goals.

2023-04-2408 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkDo you have "Goal Grief"?You have goals.
You have tasks, things to do, people to see, and places to go.
Yet, despite all of our accomplishments, why are so many of us dissatisfied with ourselves? Often, to combat our dissatisfaction, we push ourselves to accomplish more, do more, and be MORE!
But it’s not sustainable. And it may be tough to break this cycle until we address, what I call, “Goal Grief.”
If you want to achieve the kind of success that leads to renewable fulfillment, this podcast has a simple yet important solution.

2023-04-1710 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkWhen You Speak, Who’s Talking?It’s a miracle that anyone understands what anyone else is saying.
When you speak, words come through filters generated from a lifetime of experiences.
It’s not always you who speaks, but it’s your parents, teachers, partners, co-workers, bosses, managers, leaders, news anchors, authors, podcasters, YouTubers, and so on…
Now, there's nothing wrong with this normal and natural process. However, there is another level of communication that will bring you more peace, and create deeper, more meaningful relationships. I call this conscious communication. The first step to conscious communication is being aware th...
2023-04-1009 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe Key Ingredient to a Resilient Team“When the trust is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.”
~ Stephen Covey
As Stephen Covey shares in his quote above, trust is a key ingredient to success in communication. But I suggest that trust not only boosts communication but also resiliency.
Think of it this way, would you rather face economic or competitive challenges with a group of people that you trust or a group of people that you’re wary of? Having an organization filled with trusting human beings acts like an immune system. The company weathers many more influencers or, so cal...
2023-04-0311 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe power of collaboration for those who tend to create aloneIf you're like me, you have a tendency to express yourself creatively...alone. But no one is an island. Not only is collaboration inevitable in our interpersonal relationships, it's the only way to create something greater than any individual is capable of creating.
In this episode, I briefly share my experiences with creating in isolation, how I discovered the power of aligned collaboration, and ultimately I define the key ingredients that you need to create productive partnerships with your colleagues.

2023-03-2109 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at Work3 ways to express what you really want to sayFor some people, it's tough to say what they really want to say. Especially to their boss, other co-workers, or even in personal relationships.
At the same time, we've all had experiences with people who speak their truth. They speak with authority, clarity, confidence, but also with humility, grace, and flexibility.
You have this ability too! You have a unique, one-of-a-kind voice and message that needs to be shared. Because there's only one YOU, you're the ONLY ONE who can share what's important for you to share. And in doing so, you will turbo-charge your re...

In this very personal, intimate, and different episode, I dive into my history and share how I got to where I am today.
Now, I do NOT share this information just for me. I do it to strengthen our connection and, as I explain in the episode, to create an opportunity to learn more about yourself.

2021-07-1242 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkWhy proving your value is actually blocking your success...I had a "hit-me-over-the-head" insight that completely changed my life. It created a sense of liberation and freedom.
The insight? I don't have to prove anything to anyone at anytime about anything.
I realized that some of my life's biggest decisions were secretly driven by a deep and buried belief that "I'm not valuable enough." So I set out to prove it wrong! I thought things like, "I'll create a business and prove that I can create valuable services that people would pay money for."
It actually doesn't sound all that bad. Heck, s...
2021-06-2126 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkPeople are remembered by their powerful and inspiring relationshipsI recently attended the funeral for a family member. During the eulogies and remembrances, what did they talk about? His financial success, his assets, his doubts, his thoughts? No...it was his IMPACT on his most precious relationships with friends, family, and colleagues.
You, too, will be remembered by your most powerful and inspiring relationships. But this doesn't end with just a handful of people in your life. It actually all starts, from the Inside Out with THE most important relationship you'll have for your entire life: your relationship with yourself!
In this episode, I t...

2021-06-1431 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at Work[Interview with Ana Melikian] How to align your Mindset, Strategy, and Implementation to love your relationships (and life) now!I have a special treat for you.

Not only is Ana a gifted coach and accomplished scholar, she's also pioneering success for new coaches as the Director of Education for Book Yourself Solid®.

2021-06-0132 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe two steps I used to walk my own talk and go from frustrated to contentI help people transform their relationships by working from the inside out. It may seem unbelievable, and I wouldn't believe it myself if I hadn't seen my clients make the transformation. Now, I'm not immune to doing the simple yet not-so-easy work of working on myself from the inside out to transform my relationships.
Join me on this episode where I do the work -- walk my own talk -- from the inside out with one of my most important and critical relationships (my son and I).

2021-05-0413 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkWant to have complete satisfaction in your professional relationships?If you're not 100% satisfied in your professional work relationships, you have some work to do. In this lively podcast episode, I dive into ways for you to experience true satisfaction in your relationships. And it's not the way you might think. In fact, I start by exploring what TRUE satisfaction really MEANS. It does NOT mean the absence of stress, doubt, guilt, anger, or shame. It's about feeling those (and, in fact, ALL emotions) as one of many PRICELESS sources of information. Your relationships contain a treasure trove of information, wisdom, and clarity. IF you can start to see...
2021-04-2626 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe Stories You Tell Yourself Actually Drive Your SatisfactionIn order to make sense of the world, you run all of your experiences through an intricate and complex filter of stories, judgments, and labels.
Have you ever felt dissatisfied with a critical professional relationship? I guarantee that it has more to do with the stories you told yourself about that relationship than the actual people involved.
What's cool is that we can use this very natural and efficient human ability (i.e. telling ourselves stories about the world) to turn the needle and create more satisfaction in your professional relationships. But is starts with th...
2021-04-1919 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkForgotten values are actually the source of difficult work relationshipsValues are those things that "make us tick." They define so much of WHO we are. And unless we are AWARE of our values, regularly, we'll continue our habitual "fight or flight" responses to difficult relationships at work. Because at the CORE of that response, is where your forgotten values are either being dishonored or threatened.
But that's OK! Because now you now have the opportunity to understand our values, how others can help teach YOU what YOUR values really are, and then you can take control and decide how you want to better HONOR your most i...
2021-04-1215 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkThe Signals You Broadcast Are Affecting Your RelationshipsHave you ever been around someone who lifts you up just by being around them? What about someone who drags you down just as easily? Ever wonder what's at the source of that energy?
It's a signal...it's a broadcast of electromagnetic energy that we are ALL sending and receiving all the time. This energy is built on what we think and how we feel.
In this podcast, I share one of my latest discoveries to help you "broadcast" more happiness, peace, enthusiasm, and passion. Not only for YOU, which is SO important, but also t...
2021-04-0612 minInside-Out: Interpersonal Transformation at WorkWhat's Behind a Fight or Flight Attitude?When we "fight" or "flight" with our difficult & stressful relationships at work, it doesn't mean that we literally go running away through the hills and hide in a cave OR slap someone in the face with a leather glove and challenge them to a duel!
At the core of "flight" is avoidance, which shows up as canceling meetings, not replying to emails, or anything else where you're AVOIDING interacting with this difficult person.
At the core of FIGHT, is a very polarized view: right/wrong, good/bad. It's about protecting what's important to you.
