40: Scott Steinberg - Make Change Work For You
There is no change that is completely free of risk. In fact, I would say that change without some level of risk is not really change at all. It’s window dressing.

38: Diane Currie Sam - Your EPIC Story in Business
We are taught from an early age that we are thinking creatures that feel. The truth is that we are feeling creatures that think. The power of communicating your story can be your greatest differentiator in business. It stands to reason that connecting to your customer on a deeper level is a winning approach. It’s also a refreshing one! What makes Diane Currie Sam's approach particularly valuable is that she not only believes in “finding your story” but she also offers practical ways to apply it. The perfect blend of inner work with outer application.

To Die Empty is to live your life making sure you don’t leave your best work inside yourself. This is an awe inspiring conversation with one of the greatest thought-leaders of our day.

35: Danielle Watson - What a Purse Has To Say
What does a purse say about someone? If you consider not only the choice of style but also the stories behind the items inside, well, I would say a purse has a lot to offer about who someone is. Danielle Watson is an anthropologist and the creator of The Purse Process™. Instead of digging around in the dirt for treasures left behind by lost civilizations, Danielle uses her training and powers in an innovative and more “girly” way. Digging around in purses.

Does the idea of being able to multiply time sound too good to be true? Rory Vaden’s new book called "Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time" will prove otherwise.

33: Michael Port - Find Your Best Performance
Talk about doing what you’re meant to do. Sometimes it can be easy to overlook the obvious. While Michael Port is a 5 time author, international keynote speaker, trainer and business coach, he is also an experienced actor having appeared on Sex and the City and virtually every television network. He’s also done thousands of voice-overs. Doesn’t it make perfect sense then, as an actor, that he would train others on public speaking? Michael offers great speaking tips as well as how to find your best performance from within.
