But when it involves betraying your word, your principles, or other important commitments, it takes a bite out of your passion and vitality, trapping you in a web of nagging doubts and regrets or even dread and remorse. Sadly, certain common misconceptions about compromise mean we can fall into this trap unknowingly, making a sort of “devil’s bargain by degrees.” Even worse, this can happen while working for companies and leaders we otherwise respect and admire. Our special guest this week is Elizabeth Doty, a business storyteller in the trenches. She is a consultant, coach, and facilitator specializing in how people participate in large organizations while staying true to themselves and being a positive force – however they define those. Since earning her MBA from Harvard and joining a reengineering firm in 1991, Ms. Doty has both subscribed to the "official story" of business and lived through the contradictions and absurdities of everyday organizational life. Prior to business school, she worked in the hospitality industry, where she served as a manager for more than eleven years, mostly in four-star hotels.

He has been interviewed by or consulted as an expert with the UK Government, Law Enforcement in India, Dateline NBC,Business Week, Forbes, the FBI, the IRS, ITV and class action firms taking action on behalf of victims. He advises, “The industry of business ?Opportunity Fraud' is growing at an epidemic rate. Those promoting various multi level marketingschemes fraudulently proclaim their ?business' is a beacon of hope for millions of consumers weakened and desperatefrom the housing collapse, declining wages, shrinking income and unemployment.” "I am not a person who “tried” Amway and failed but rather someone who built the business with great passion and enthusiasm to the coveted Founder’s Emerald level. After nearly a decade of recruiting many good, honorable people into “the business," including my own father, I made disturbing discoveries. After a decade of investing in this, I was the last one on earth who wanted to discover and then document nearly a 99% loss rate for consumers induced to “invest in their own Amway business." Hundreds of thousands have gotten the book and thousands of victim testimonials have poured in from over 40 nations. Why have Dateline NBC, Business Week, Forbes, ITV (Europe), the UK DTI Companies Investigation Division, the FBI, the IRS and law enforcement in India interviewed me regarding Merchants of Deception?

This one-armed farmer from Switzerland has taken hundreds of the most startling photos in UFO History and has even filmed what he refers to as "Beam Ships" used by sentient beings that hail from a star system near the Pleiades. He has been able to produce photographs, film footage, sound recordings and even metal samples as evidence of his visitations.

AMAZON BEST SELLER WINNER: 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Best New Age Non-Fiction Thirty-five years ago, Janet Smith Warfield had an unexpected mystical experience. Words she had learned as a child in Sunday school suddenly became crystal clear. In an instant, she understood their meaning. Nothing outside her changed. Her surroundings were exactly as they had been moments before. Yet everything changed. She was suddenly looking at the same world through different eyes. As Janet struggled to put words to this mind-boggling experience, she realized that no one understood. How could she use divisive, analytical words to communicate a unifying, holistic experience? It was a question Janet wrestled with for years. Words were only illusions, dancing at a masked ball. They were only fingers pointing at the moon. They were not the moon. Nevertheless, there was a moon behind the word illusions. There was a unifying, holistic experience. There was a Human Truth Puzzle that could be put together. In fact, it had been put together, over and over, by person after person throughout history. Words were one piece of that Human Truth Puzzle. Each person who solved the Puzzle used different words to point to the solution. As lawyer, mediator, poet, author, wife, mother, and grandmother, she has become a powerful word sculptor who knows how to bring peace into troubled lives. 01:00:00Papa Zennoentertainment,politics,current events,authors,jazzOur guest tonight is Author, Janet Smith Warfield.

Through her seminars, workshops, retreats, speaking engagements, and new bestselling book, Paving it Forward, international speaker, author, and owner of RnR Wellness Elisabeth Fayt (say Fate) teaches others how to use their thoughts and intentions to pre-pave a new road to the best possible day and life. In tough economic times, it is easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of negativity. This is when it is more important than ever to pay close attention to the road you are paving. According to Elisabeth, "I believe the best thing you can do for someone is to teach them to change their thought. Then they can create happiness for themselves, at will, regardless of any circumstance or environment." The roadmap given to most people when they are children is often less than helpful. Through pre-paving, Elisabeth teaches how to create a new roadmap, one that takes people where they want to go – to health, wealth, and love. Her students learn how to respond to their circumstances in a powerful way by learning to use the energy of thought and energy of intention to create the roadmap they desire. The power of her teachings led her to be one of the featured speakers in The Opus Movie, deemed as the next step after The Secret. 01:00:00Papa Zennoentertainment,politics,current events,authors,jazzWhen someone is on the road to nowhere, can they just pave a new road?

JIM BICKFORD used to be a police officer. It was a good job, but it seemed like everybody he met was always having a bad day. So in 2002, he retired with his wife Maya to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, to become an innkeeper. The people he meets today are having good days and all he has to do is keep it that way. ECHOage is a charity-driven and eco-friendly birthday party service where children learn the value of giving and receiving while celebrating. ECHOage has become a movement with kids and parents across North America because it easily brings meaning to the birthday party celebration and puts kids in the driver's seat, giving them the simple tools they need to make change for the environment and for society all while celebrating their birthday. DEBBIE ZINMAN, one of the co-founders joins us from Toronto. . . Their neighbors' generosity inspired LIONEL AND MISHA THOMPSON to found GIVING ANONYMOUSLY. A few years ago, when they were dealing with family and financial difficulties, their neighbors provided an unexpected outpouring of generosity. Donors log on to the organization's website, specify the amount they would like to give, and Giving Anonymously sends a check to the indicated recipient. The service is meant to remove the potential awkwardness that may come when someone tries to give money to a loved one face-to-face, and ensures the recipient will agree to accept the donation. Speaking to NBC News, Misha described how her conflicted feelings about others' kindness provided inspiration for the website. "I remember standing there feeling ashamed that [neighbors] had to bring us groceries, but also thinking, 'When we come through this season, I don't want another mom to feel like how I felt'," she explained. Recipients are encouraged to call a hotline and leave a voicemail to confirm they have received the gift, for the benefit of their anonymous "guardian angel." 02:00:00Papa Zennoentertainment,politics,current events,authors,jazzJIM BICKFORD used to be a police officer.
