The discomfort of self-discovery often involves the realization of how often you actually sabotage yourself.  Through life coaching, several of my clients have told me that for the first time in their lives, they know who they really are, and have renewed self-confidence in their abilities.  One of the first steps to eliminating the negative elements in your life is to ask yourself how you feel about yourself when you are in the presence of another person. This exercise can help you put uncover those relationships which are helpful, supportive, and real, and eliminate those that are toxic.  Dr. Micki Berg is the Owner of Positive Outcomes Coaching LLC. She is a Life Coach with PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credentials from the International Coach Federation. Dr. Berg's book, "Falling in Love with Yourself" was published in 2011. Dr. Berg has 30+ years of successful coaching experience and is recognized for being able to lead clients to happier and more productive lives. 00:30:00Yvonne F BrownnoSelf Love,Self Awareness,Micki Berg,Yvonne Brown,CoachingHow to Fall In Love With Yourself Regardless of Your Agehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2019/05/11/positive-daily-motivations-to-improve-your-daySelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2019/05/11/positive-daily-motivations-to-improve-your-day/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2019/05/11/positive-daily-motivations-to-improve-your-daySat, 11 May 2019 19:00:00 GMTPositive Daily Motivations to Improve Your DaySince 1995, Ralph Marston has written and published The Daily Motivator, one of the web’s most popular and enduring places for daily inspiration.  In that time, he has published more than 4,500 original daily motivational messages, as well as books, audio programs, and inspiring video presentations. Ralph began publishing The Daily Motivator because he recognized the power of the Internet to reliably deliver rich, positive reminders of life’s most powerful values on a daily basis at almost no cost. Over time, the brief, commonsense messages have positively influenced millions of lives. In addition to his continuing work with The Daily Motivator, Ralph also manages inspiration content development at the religion and spirituality website Patheos.com and is a featured blogger at DiddyBlog.com.  Ralph will discuss how and why he started The Daily Motivator, and recount some of the milestones along the way as the site has grown in popularity.

The wisdom of the ages lies open before us, yet we keep looking for modern-day prophets to tell us what the ancients have already revealed.  However, if we learn to apply the teachings of King Solomon and the sages that followed in his footsteps, we can find insights that will dazzle us with their contemporary brilliance and guide us along the path of personal and professional prosperity.  Success in any endeavor is a mindset that develops organically once we recognize that good ethics is good business.

She is a passionate speaker who uses the power of storytelling to inspire her audiences to dream big, act bold and pave their own paths to someplace better. In January 2010 her memoir was published by John Wiley & Sons, titled The Road to Someplace Better: From the Segregated South to Harvard Business School and Beyond. Born on a farm in the segregated South, Lillian sensed in her bones that a better life awaited her. At the age of 18, she journeyed to New York City and Washington, DC, to seek her fortune. After gutting out menial jobs as a maid and typist for a few years, Lillian came to the realization that her journey was internal and that education would be her ticket to a new world. With loans and scholarships in hand, she obtained a BA degree from Howard University and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1969, an era forever linked with the civil rights & the women’s rights movements. After Harvard, Lillian became a barrier-breaking entrepreneur. From 1976 to 2001, she was President and CEO of Centennial One, Inc., a building maintenance company she founded in her garage on a few thousand dollars. She grew the company to $20 million in sales with more than 1,200 employees. Lillian sold the company in 2001, to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities, as a speaker & writer. In 2003, Harvard Business School awarded Lillian the Alumni Achievement Award, the highest award bestowed on its alumni. The award recognizes recipients for contributions made while upholding the high standards & values in life.

What is the connection between being accident-prone and always being short of money, or envying other people with not being able to handle your anger? The truth is, everything that happens to you is directly connected to the way you see yourself, because your self-image (healthy or otherwise) is like a filter through which you interpret your life experiences.   Life reflects us, and we get the kind of experiences that deep down we think we deserve.  Quite simply, we make our own experiences happen, albeit unconsciously.  You cannot love yourself, if you hate yourself deep down inside.   That’s why living a life on purpose driven by your vision is so important.  You must decide exactly what you want, create a plan to achieve it, work towards achievement every day and resolve to NEVER give up.  This then, becomes your purpose in life. Just remember that self-esteem is the magical key to a world of the life you want to lead. In this interview your host Yvonne Brown shares exactly how to find yourself, and live your dreams, and bring  your personal vision to life.   Learn more about our guest at http://www.YvonneFBrown.com   00:55:00Yvonne F BrownnoSelf help,success,career,dreams,visionWhat is the connection between being accident-prone and always being short of money, or envying other people with not being able to handle your anger?https://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2018/10/13/proving-the-world-wrong-how-to-take-back-control-when-you-cant-find-a-jobSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2018/10/13/proving-the-world-wrong-how-to-take-back-control-when-you-cant-find-a-job/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2018/10/13/proving-the-world-wrong-how-to-take-back-control-when-you-cant-find-a-jobSat, 13 Oct 2018 19:00:00 GMTProving The World Wrong!

After dealing with the reality of their parents' divorce they are excelling and currently attend an American curriculum private school where they are learning Arabic and French.” I knew immediately that I had to have her as a guest on my radio show.  She is the epitome of what this show is about.

In addition, one of the most pleasurable things in life is travel, but there is a big difference between just going to a destination and “experiencing” the amazing things it has to offer. The majority of people miss  out on the best and most experiential things the destination has to offer. Most of them see these different places but do NOT experience them. The true wonder and magic of travel lies in the experience ~ including learning about the culture and traditions, sampling the food indigenous to the area and appreciating the beautiful scenery. This is one of the focuses of our trips ~ THE EXPERIENCES. Through experiencing different things and stretching our comfort zone, we increase our self esteem and become more empowered to tackle whatever life throws our way.  Our guest Holli Rovenger had been living in the lap of luxury for more than 20 years, only to wake up one day and find out that her (then) husband had lost all of their money. She relates her experiences over the last several years to being left adrift in the middle of the ocean without any paddles and needing to learn to get back to shore. Her self-confidence and ability to deal with life situations are what helped her learn how to “Dance in the Rain*,” survive and thrive with a smile always on her face. Her mission is to empower women to step into their best lives. She is friendly, optimistic, and extremely honest and trustworthy.

The generation gap between management and the workforce continues to widen leaving the next generation of individuals entering the workforce feeling more disenfranchised, marginalized, and uninspired than ever before. The world is getting smaller, business is becoming more competitive, markets are more volatile, and innovation is happening at the speed of byte. Tomorrow's workforce is looking for and requires a new type of leader, a Covalent Leader, someone who possesses the skills and knowledge to engage, inspire, and empower others. Now is the time for future leaders to step up to the plate and develop the skills necessary to actively engage the next highly educated, intelligent, empowered, and impatient generation as they prepare to enter the workforce. In a world that is constantly changing, today’s leaders have a simple decision to make…change or die. Dr. Joseph H.

As we all know, these days change is continuous.  However, most people – especially those of us older than 30 – can find the pace of change challenging.  Many think the ability to change, adapt and transform deteriorates with age leading us to believe the old adage:  “You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.”  Many of us have discovered that this doesn’t have to be true. Continuous Transformation refers to having a fluid ability to intentionally choose which belief systems and bodies of knowledge you want to hold on to and which you want to let go of, or upgrade.  When it comes to upgrading, or changing, there is a very specific process you need to understand and employ to make the change stick.   Learning this process is essential to surviving and thriving in the increasingly volatile and opportunity filled future we find ourselves confronting.   Join us for this program and walk away with: • Increased understanding of why change is difficult for some. • How to approach the decision of how, when and why to make a change. • An understanding of where the emotional resistance to change comes from and what to do about  Learn more at: www.Soulcanyon.com     00:33:00Yvonne F BrownnoRob Hambleton,Yvonne Brown,Life Transformation,Deal with Change,Self HelpDealing with change with less resistance and more confidencehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/08/12/manifest-a-better-relationship-through-quantum-physicsSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/08/12/manifest-a-better-relationship-through-quantum-physics/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/08/12/manifest-a-better-relationship-through-quantum-physicsSat, 12 Aug 2017 19:00:00 GMTManifest a Better Relationship Through Quantum PhysicsQuantum physics has a lot to say about relationships, even the human variety.

The first step is an assessment phase followed by the “High 5”: • breathing (proper breathing and positive vs. negative stress) • sleeping (sleep hygiene and opportunities to recharge) • moving (healthy movement and goal setting and time management) • eating (food as medicine and feeding the soul) • intimate relationships (creating relationships and developing healthy intimacy) To learn more about her visit www.graceandsuccess.com 00:29:00Yvonne F Brownnostress,health,stress free,food,the soulHow to become Stress-Freehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/05/13/living-your-dreams-as-a-speaker-and-small-business-ownerSelf Helphttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/05/13/living-your-dreams-as-a-speaker-and-small-business-owner/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2017/05/13/living-your-dreams-as-a-speaker-and-small-business-ownerSat, 13 May 2017 19:00:00 GMTLiving Your Dreams as a Speaker and Small Business OwnerHave you ever wanted to speak more often than you do right now?   Have you ever desired a higher fee?

The wildly popular trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey opened a new dialogue about sex and reinvigorated stale sex lives. But it isn’t simply a sexy love story. This trilogy and the movies that follow are propelling us down a slippery slope to an even lower low of normalizing violence toward women. There’s nothing wrong with women wanting sex, even adventurous sex. The problem lies in the objectification of women and the denial of the harm that sexual violence causes.  We hear about sex scandals daily, but don’t see how movies like Fifty Shades confuse us.  Our guest Dr. Susan Edelman, MD will talk about this movie release and the Fifty Shades of Confusion it delivers to audiences. Dr. Susan has been a guest on many radio and TV shows, including Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty, Sexy, Funny, Channel 7 WJLA Good Morning Washington D.C. and SiriusXM Radio. Dr. Susan’s credentials and experience set her apart from other show hosts.   Practical and provocative, Dr. Susan delivers talks that challenge and empower, often making you question everything you thought you knew.

"Trump Ethics for all Ages."  During his leadership roles at Target and later at Jewel-Osco Roy was concerned with the interviewing and hiring process for management positions. It seemed that minorities and women were often screened out and not hired for a position that they were fully qualified for and in many instances they were better qualified than the white male that was hired or promoted.  Though it appeared on the service that the decision-making process of the hiring executives was biased and in some cases it probably was, he believed that there was a deeper issue because some of the hiring managers were his friends, and he knew them to be very accepting of diversity in our organization.  As such, his research during his doctoral studies focused on identifying not just the decision and the outcome of their decisions when selecting leaders, but the actual decision-making process itself.  In addition to the leadership perspective, we will discuss his book WRONG!

What is the connection between being accident-prone and always being short of money, or envying other people with not being able to handle your anger? The truth is, everything that happens to you is directly connected to the way you see yourself, because your self-image (healthy or otherwise) is like a filter through which you interpret your life experiences.   Life reflects us, and we get the kind of experiences that deep down we think we deserve.  Quite simply, we make our own experiences happen, albeit unconsciously.  You cannot love yourself, if you hate yourself deep down inside.   That’s why living a life on purpose driven by your vision is so important.  You must decide exactly what you want, create a plan to achieve it, work towards achievement every day and resolve to NEVER give up.  This then, becomes your purpose in life. Just remember that self-esteem is the magical key to a world of the life you want to lead.

We were expected to go to work for father-like corporations that would take care of us. But the world has changed. Those days are gone.  We now need to look at ourselves as products—well-defined products that can be promoted worldwide. This is defined by personal brand. Can you afford to ignore developing and promoting your personal brand? If you want to stay employed for the next 20 years (which many Baby Boomers will need to do), that answer is: No.  In Personal Branding for Baby Boomers, Marc Miller breaks down the steps to building a great online reputation, specifically tailored to those 50+ who find themselves job hunting or competing for work in today’s “LOOK AT ME!” business environment. How can you compete for jobs with digital-savvy Generation Xers and sharp-witted Millennials? You can.  What is a personal brandWhy should baby boomers careHow to manage it Our guest Marc Miller’s career journey included 22 years at IBM, several  thriving tech startups, a painful stint as a high school teacher, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Association of Austin and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever. Thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over, taught him his most crucial lesson: Most people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core, what fulfills them. They pursue money, status, a skill set, all of which provide some level of satisfaction,  but not contentment. They wind up feeling frustrated and trapped. Others have figured out what they need, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there.

In addition, one of the most pleasurable things in life is travel, but there is a big difference between just going to a destination and “experiencing” the amazing things it has to offer. The majority of people miss  out on the best and most experiential things the destination has to offer. Most of them see these different places but do NOT experience them. The true wonder and magic of travel lies in the experience ~ including learning about the culture and traditions, sampling the food indigenous to the area and appreciating the beautiful scenery. This is one of the focuses of our trips ~ THE EXPERIENCES. Through experiencing different things and stretching our comfort zone, we increase our self esteem and become more empowered to tackle whatever life throws our way.  Our guest Holli Rovenger had been living in the lap of luxury for more than 20 years, only to wake up one day and find out that her (then) husband had lost all of their money. She relates her experiences over the last several years to being left adrift in the middle of the ocean without any paddles and needing to learn to get back to shore. Her self-confidence and ability to deal with life situations are what helped her learn how to “Dance in the Rain*,” survive and thrive with a smile always on her face. Her mission is to empower women to step into their best lives. She is friendly, optimistic, and extremely honest and trustworthy. She has never met a stranger and is as comfortable speaking with the Queen of England as she is with a janitor.

We will share the essence of understanding spirituality and how to apply it to your life. Finally, we will share with you the Four Steps to Law of Attraction Journaling Mastery that we believe will help you in attracting what you want in the New Year. Our guest this month is Michael Pearlman, M.D. a well-known Boston area psychiatrist and Personal Life Strategist with a spiritual focus. He uses the Law of Attraction as a touchstone to help people reveal their Divine Self-Expression to live the life of their dreams. Throughout his own journey, he has used journaling as a way of gaining clarity and insights, and, at a deeper level, as a way of listening to his soul. The process, which has evolved over time, allowed him to use his own life as the subject of the creative process. This awakening led him to develop Law of Attraction Journaling. The Law of Attraction Journal provides a direct route to Self-Realization by guiding people to effectively separate their heart's will from their ego's will.

Jim is best known internationally as ‘The Newsletter Guru’- the go-to resource for maximizing the profitability of customer relationships.Jim is the founder of Custom Newsletters, Incorporated, which is parent company of 7 newsletters. The foreword of his new book "Stop Waiting For It to Get Easier"  is written by Kevin Harrington, former investor “Shark” from ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank. Successful businesses are created every day, no matter what the economy or other outside market conditions may be. The truth is there is never a ‘perfect’ time to start a business, so why not start now? Entrepreneurs, who move swiftly and boldly from idea into action, delivering value to the marketplace, will ultimately succeed.  When times are tough, entrepreneurs have two choices. They can ‘hunker down’ and operate their business much more conservatively – essentially pulling in their horns and, in some cases, sticking their heads in the sand until things return to normal or somehow in their eyes get better. I do not believe this is a good growth strategy.

The discomfort of self-discovery often involves the realization of how often you actually sabotage yourself.    Through life coaching, several of my clients have told me that for the first time in their lives, they know who they really are, and have renewed self-confidence in their abilities.    One of the first steps to eliminating the negative elements in your life is to ask yourself how you feel about yourself when you are in the presence of another person. This exercise can help you put uncover those relationships which are helpful, supportive, and real, and eliminate those that are toxic.   Dr. Micki Berg is the Owner of Positive Outcomes Coaching LLC. She is a Life Coach with PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credentials from the International Coach Federation.   Dr. Berg's book, "Falling in Love with Yourself" will be in publication by the end of 2011.

The real story is about sociology & anthropology. It's hard to get social media functioning in some companies because of cultural obstacles. Often the person designated, explicitly or implicitly, to be social media champion has to understand & be able to practice the skills of facilitating & leading transformational change. While it is perfectly logical to nominate the most geeky person in the company to lead the change, that could well be a seriously bad move. Someone who understands cultural difference & cross-cultural communication, & knows enough about the technology or is open to learning about it, is probably a better bet than the TopGeek. Even when companies understand cultural shifts, there is still more than a good chance that the person nominated to get the company functioning well in the social media space is not high up in the pecking order. So how are they going to drive the change without getting metaphorically stomped on or just plain old blocked at the pass? One thing they could do is to use some coaching skills, especially listening. And only people who haven't done high level coaching would say listening is easy. When practiced masterfully, real listening will engage the whole person, mentally, emotionally, even physically, in focusing on what the person speaking has to say. One of the high level skills is to hear what is not being spoken. I'm attaching a paper I've done on this. Some of my coaching friends would probably say I'm making higher level coaching skills sound too easy, but the fact is that as with many life skills some people do have high level skills, innately or learned, and some have a good aptitude for learning and applying quickly. The key thing in the social media implementation context is that people focus on the real game, which is cultural, not on the technology platform game. 00:57:00Yvonne F Brownnosocial media,control,coaching,cultures,communicationSo much of the conversation about social media in the enterprise is about technology.

She is a passionate speaker who uses the power of storytelling to inspire her audiences to dream big, act bold and pave their own paths to someplace better. In January 2010 her memoir was published by John Wiley & Sons, titled The Road to Someplace Better: From the Segregated South to Harvard Business School and Beyond. Born on a farm in the segregated South, Lillian sensed in her bones that a better life awaited her. At the age of 18, she journeyed to New York City and Washington, DC, to seek her fortune. After gutting out menial jobs as a maid and typist for a few years, Lillian came to the realization that her journey was internal and that education would be her ticket to a new world. With loans and scholarships in hand, she obtained a BA degree from Howard University and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1969, an era forever linked with the civil rights & the women’s rights movements. After Harvard, Lillian became a barrier-breaking entrepreneur. From 1976 to 2001, she was President and CEO of Centennial One, Inc., a building maintenance company she founded in her garage on a few thousand dollars. She grew the company to $20 million in sales with more than 1,200 employees. Lillian sold the company in 2001, to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities, as a speaker & writer. In 2003, Harvard Business School awarded Lillian the Alumni Achievement Award, the highest award bestowed on its alumni. The award recognizes recipients for contributions made while upholding the high standards & values in life. Lillian sits on the Board of Visitors at Virginia Commonwealth University & Board of Directors for Harvard Business School African American Alumni Association. 00:29:00Yvonne F BrownnoMotivation,personal beliefs,dreams come true,self mastery,Personal AchievementAs the first African American woman to receive an MBA from Harvard Business School during the tumultuous 1960’s, Lillian Lincoln Lambert draws upon her experienhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2010/08/14/success-means-no-one-is-in-charge-of-your-dreams-bMotivationhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2010/08/14/success-means-no-one-is-in-charge-of-your-dreams-b/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/yvonne-f-brown/2010/08/14/success-means-no-one-is-in-charge-of-your-dreams-bSat, 14 Aug 2010 19:00:00 GMTSuccess Means No One is in Charge of Your Dreams But YOU!
