    In today’s episode, we discuss:
    .

    Embrace Being a Beginner. Don’t be afraid to start something new, even if you're not great at it initially. The only way to improve is through consistent practice, and giving yourself permission to have a “shitty first draft” is crucial for growth.

    Ask for Help Without Shame. Embrace collaboration by asking others for support or to simply keep you company while you work. Recognize that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, and can boost productivity and focus.

    Prioritize Tasks That Energize You. Focus on doing tasks that bring you energy and passion, and don’t be afraid to delegate the ones that drain you. Asking for help not only lightens your load but allows others to shine in their strengths.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Tammy Klotz, the Chief Information Security Officer at Trinseo. She highlights actionable strategies for elevating leadership and team performance.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    Establishing clear boundaries. Define and communicate each person's responsibilities and how they impact their teammates and the overall project to develop strong collaboration across teams and functions.

    Fully embrace resiliency and cultivate it in your team. Resilience is developed when we learn from failures and setbacks as a team. Use these experiences to fuel determination, individual growth, and more profound team resiliency.

    “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” In Cyber Security, there are no “I will get to it later” crisis calls for immediate action. 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.

    Guest Bio:
    Tammy Klotz is a vibrant and accomplished executive and best-selling author with over three decades of diverse experience in the manufacturing industry, specializing in cybersecurity and transformational leadership.

    She also offers keen expertise in navigating mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures within both publicly traded and privately held companies and is seasoned in security, risk, and compliance leadership.

    Tammy brings a dynamic and positive approach to problem-solving, excelling in simplifying intricate IT and cybersecurity concepts and facilitating pragmatic, non-technical dialogues that resonate with business executives.

    She is recognized as a strong, knowledgeable, thoughtful security executive who excels in public speaking and thought leadership, striving to empower others through knowledge sharing.

  • 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".

    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.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I will be responding to some questions sent in by listeners about wisdom. You don’t have to wait until you’re in your 50s or 60s to live with wisdom. You can step into it at any age. However, you will need to choose curiosity rather than judgment.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    today’s episode, we discuss:

    Living in wisdom requires curiosity, compassion, forgiveness, grace, self-awareness, and intentionality.

    Learn to move forward on a new path without bringing past issues/stories with you. You can’t solve today’s technical issues with yesterday’s technology. The same is true for you.

    Is it the journey or the destination that creates sustainable success and fulfillment?

    One of the big gifts of choosing to live in wisdom is that you get to dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, and curiosity opens endless possibilities.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Ashley Jablow, founder of Wayfinders Collective. She dives into the importance of self-discovery, the power of letting go , and finding your purpose in creative ways.



    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    Work to let go of who you think you should be and what you should do and exchange them with what is true for you.

    “The more you show up authentically as yourself, the more success you will actually achieve.”

    Do shiny career moves lead you to hollow achievement or to your purpose?

    Allow your creativity and bravery to come together for a purpose and deep fulfillment..

    Slow and steady wins the race. She tells us, ”Making change, especially meaningful change that requires us to think and dream and be bigger and more purposeful - it’s not easy, but sitting in that uncertainty and allowing answers to come is truly one of the most important skills that anyone can develop.”

    Never give up! No matter what others say or think if you are met with resistance when you speak up…keep on going while leaning into your support system

Evaluate the situation, what is here to learn from, how will you show up differently next time, how can you use this experience to become even better, stronger, and wiser at what you do.

    Don’t wait for your mentor to find you. Identify the person with the experience, vision, and shared values…and ask them to mentor you to achieve all you desire.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I'm going to talk about how to set yourself up for more successful communications. There is a way to really be heard. Tune in to learn my top communication hacks.



    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in establishing rapport. This one step turns a potentially challenging conversation into a productive/successful meeting.

    Learn to communicate in a way that defies triggers. How do you handle things when the person you are speaking with gets triggered or even more challenging, when YOU get triggered?

    The transformation that takes place when you understand the best way to connect with people.

    Successful conversations must have a pre-planned beginning, middle, and end. Be clear on what you want to say and where you want it to end.

    Leaders should show up to hard conversations with the intentions of creating safe space, and valuing the recipient. So even though the conversation may be challenging, they should know that it is being shared for their benefit and to meet their goals.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Nelson Nigel, founder of MOTO NATION, Kidmoto, Busmoto, and Babymoto. He highlights the importance of the relentless pursuit of following your dreams, shedding dead weight, and tells us that his success is deeply connected to his emotional intelligence.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.

    Work to have an incredibly deep level of emotional intelligence. Success is determined by not only your ability to dream big and push yourself, but also by your resilience in the face of adversity.

    The transformation that takes place when you get rid of dead weight, shed negativity, and remove the inconsequential energy or people from your life.

    Never give up, and keep working hard. He tells us, “We can really do a lot of things if we push ourselves. Dream big, and just keep going.”

    Leaders should show up ready to keep learning. Your studies should never end, you should always be creating new levels of insight.

    Guest Bio:

    Nelson is a Guyanese entrepreneur who, at 5, emigrated with his family to Queens, New York. He has lived a life of triumph and trials; his most significant moment was getting hit by a moving express subway train at age 13. Nelson miraculously survived three weeks of coma after surgeons permanently removed the top part of his forehead. Having lost all memory before that day, he has only looked forward since, unapologetically living his life aloud (as seen in Nelson's eccentric color choices with his hair and attire).

    Nelson studied cultural anthropology in college and loved meeting the world as an NYC yellow taxicab and Uber driver. A defining period of his life, this is where Nelson saw a recurring issue: underserved consumers having trouble with navigating child car seats in taxis, ultimately birthing what is now known as Kidmoto.

    Nelson started Kidmoto with a dream, $600 to his name, and a relentless passion to succeed. He worked hard to grow Kidmoto to 52 cities across the US. He started MOTO NATION in 2023 as the leading brand behind new companies, BUSMOTO and BABYMOTO. Nelson is a natural-born hustler, survivor, and fighter and continues to push forward with innovation and entrepreneurship.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Perry Yeatman, Head of Corporate at Save the Children. She highlights the journey that brought her to the nonprofit world, and the importance of self awareness in finding your meaning and purpose.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in focusing on what you can control and where you can make a difference, and just continuing to move forward.

    Work to have an incredibly deep level of self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly related to your self awareness.

    The transformation that takes place when you choose meaning and purpose over reputation and money.

    You can do anything you set your mind to. Perry tells us, “It’s not magic, it’s work. It’s about being smart, and you can do it… forgive what you are not, and learn to play into your strengths.

    Leaders should show up as change-makers. Passive gratitude doesn’t change the world. We need people who’ve got a lot, to give a lot.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the last of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of being a courageous leader, and revisit key points of the series.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    Being decisive and courageous is imperative to good leadership.

    Take the time to draw clear lines for your business and your team. Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created.

    Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage.

    Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness.

    Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one’s performance.

    Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Charlotte Castillo, Managing Director for Poderistas®. She is open, raw, and real as she shares how she has taken the life lessons that came her way and built a global career and dynamic personal life.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    Being the Chief Translator for her family at age 7 taught her she had a deep reservoir of courage, the ability to figure things out even though they were beyond her years and that fear wasn’t an option.

    When it comes to new opportunities Charlotte tells us to; be open, trust the forks in the road, and review them through the lens of “Why not”

    Don’t lose yourself in society's or anyone else’s definition of success, create priorities that maintain balance & focus, and align with who you are & what you want to achieve.

    Life is short. Look beyond the money, assess what you really want, what brings you joy, and build your life and career from that place.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the 3rd of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of intentional communication and influence.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in leading with influence. To be a stand out, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.

    Intentional communication creates influence. Fergus tells us, “the most interesting people are the ones who are the most interested.”

    Listening is the very first communication skill. This has you fully planted in the moment, so you are able to understand what is really needed and where you can be of greatest value.

    Practice self awareness. Understanding your presence and how your demeanor influences is a key part of what allows you to have greater success and lasting impact.

    Find ways to assist your team to excel. This creates an environment of higher performance, and greater success that is sustainable.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Audrey Alice, a divorce coach. She highlights the value of choosing yourself and working through self limiting beliefs. Audrey tells us how she fell into divorce coaching, and the joy she feels in supporting women who are working their way to wholeness again.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in understanding that if you can dream it, “you can real-life it.”

    The transformation that takes place when you move from a sensation of victimhood, shame, and guilt into a place of empowerment and freedom.

    “It’s not a failed marriage,” Audrey tells us. “You have successfully come to the point that you’ve realized this isn’t working for you anymore, and you’re putting an end to something that’s no longer okay.”

    “Your divorce does not break you, it transforms you. This is the beginning of the rest of your life.”

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach. We return to our series today with the intent of helping you to realize your leadership potential. We highlight the very real correlation between self-reflection and success, and the impact that addressing your limiting beliefs has on reaching your full potential.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    There is great power in creating space for self-reflection. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one’s behavior.

    Intentionally setting roadblocks is imperative in leadership. Rather than relying on external factors for success, it forces one to be more mindful and self accountable.

    The transformation that takes place when you practice self-awareness. Creating space for self-awareness and reflection will help one to better understand how we react and respond in every interaction.

    Any and all success begins within. Fergus tells us that this is one of the most critical pieces in reaching your full potential.

    What’s the role you played as a child? If you don’t make peace with your natural inclinations when tensions arise, you miss the opportunity to learn, adjust, and grow.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Dan Rockwell, Leadership Freak and co-author of The Vagrant. He highlights the value of structured self reflection and tells us, “Somewhere along the way, you learn to trust the things in your heart - the frustrations, the joys, the aspirations - and somehow give them away in a way that makes sense to other people.”

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    Leaders who show up with openness, a curiosity to listen, and learn, have the ability to bring out the best in people. If you’re not listening well, you’re not serving yourself or others very well.

    Be yourself, and bring value. Don’t worry that you’re not the perfect solution to every situation, just give what you have.

    Self-reflection in isolation leads to self deception. Dan tells us, “I’m encouraging leaders to invite others into the process.”

    There is great power in understanding the value and importance of others on your journey. There are a lot of other people in the world who want to help when you invite them.

    The transformation that takes place when you engage in structured self-reflection daily, as a constant re-evaluation of who you are.

  • Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, (one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance) and I launch a new series titled “Next Level Leader,” where we focus on, elevating your leadership in a meaningful, impactful, and sustainable way. All to assist you in advancing to the next level on your leadership journey. Highlighting the very real correlation between self awareness and success, and the impact that your personal leadership style offers.

    In today’s episode, we discuss:

    The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. (mic drop) Making increased self-awareness the foundation that all future success stands on.

    The transformation takes place when you dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, curiosity opens doors to your brilliance and expands opportunities!

    There’s not just one way to lead. Fergus tells us, “So many different leaders lead wonderfully in so many different ways.”

    What you do naturally is of great value. Rather than discounting what comes easiest to you, understand the importance and impact it offers. There is more value in what you do naturally than you think!

    Ongoing development is imperative in leadership. When you further develop areas and improve, you become a more resilient leader over time.
