Featured Interview with David J McNeff

This relatively simple but profoundly critical concept is at the heart of the method executive coach Dave McNeff has used to transform the lives and careers of his clients. It begins with two important facts: 1) stress happens―you can’t avoid it; and 2) your existence is composed of far more than “work” and “life.”    From Dave himself: "By being clear and mindful of all aspects of your life―the Seven Slices―you’ll be more likely to find inner harmony when stress impacts one of them. In this session I'll take you on a deep dive into each of the Seven Slices, explaining the components of each Slice, signs that you may not be attending to each Slice in a healthy way, and hands-on methods for accessing an underserved Slice."

Interview with Evan Smith

Organizations change when their leaders do: when each leader chooses a growth-learning mindset, assumes personal responsibility ("it IS me!"), and builds capabilities to learn and lead by example.    Evan helps leaders and their organizations grapple successfully with significant demands for learning and growth.  In addition to his own independent clients and work with BolsterUp,  he works with partners Kotter Inc. and Box of Crayons , bringing smart, practical habit change that helps leaders to shift their patterns, create more engagement, and have more impact.   He's worked with leaders across F500 companies, private firms (including startups), government and nonprofits.    He holds an MBA from the Yale School of Organization and Management; Bachelors degrees in Engineering and Liberal Arts from Penn State; and lives in Providence, RI.      CURRENT WORK at bolsterup.life While burnout is often described as an individual's problem - we see organizations with significant influence on the causes, triggers and drivers of burnout.  Individual people - working alone - can't "resilience" their way out of burnout.  Our work supports individuals, leaders and organizations to create more holistic, supportive and collaborative work environments; in healthcare, creating purposeful, meaningful, rewarding work for clinicians and great outcomes for patients.   TWO STEPS YOU CAN TAKE -    For those working in HEALTHCARE as clinicians, nurses, physicians... Please share your experience with stress and burnout in your organization by completing a short survey (less than five minutes) on https://bolsterup.life   Your input will really help to combat burnout.  To support need to better understand two things:  how individual care providers are experiencing burnout, and  what healthcare organizations are actually doing today to mitigate the systemic causes of burnout. To thank you - We'll share "5 Ways to Reduce Burnout for Provider Teams" - that you can use with your team (or share with your senior leadership) For you - as a leader: To address burnout you may be experiencing... One indicator of burnout - individually - is a feeling of depersonalization: where you experience separation of your Self from deeper purpose and meaning in your work - and separation from real contact with people (colleagues, team-mates, partners) important to you in that work.    You can take some small and powerful steps that will help to improve your connection with others in your world/ your team.   To make a better connection - and improve the care and connection you get in return: Go to metamg.com; there, you can download "Making a Better Connection", a collection of tips you can use right away to close the gap, and get closer to people who matter to you and your work.   Social media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cesmith/ https://twitter.com/cesmith_   Support the Breakfast Leadership Network!

Featured Interview with Money Mama Melanie Rousseau

Melanie is awesome in helping women take control of their finances, and manifest their future.   Melanie's story:  I am emotional while writing this because of the reason why Money Mama was created to empower women to take control of their life. November 23, 2018, is a day I will never forget. It’s the day I felt completely defeated and empty (financially, emotionally, and physically) – nothing left in the tank, but this was the day I chose ME: I chose to live a life that I wanted to create. I felt worthy of what I had received and what I desired. I stepped into my intuition so I can live my life purpose. My purpose is to serve women in business & empower them to RISE. To show them that everything is possible. After a separation, it felt like everything had been taken away; financially, emotionally, physically. I know you can rebuild and you don’t need to do it alone. I want to share my life journey with you and how I rebuilt it: How I bought my first property at age 26 in downtown Toronto with a mediocre salary and no family help! How I created a successful financial services business even when I was told I didn’t fit the mould! (Yes! I am bubbly!) How I manifested my children when I was told I could NEVER have any. (Yes! I am infertile!) How to have financial peace of mind. How to move beyond your own limiting beliefs and gain the financial freedom to do what you enjoy the most. Money Mama’s vision is to build resources, share our techniques and build this community so big that we all RISE together. One baby step at the time! Mastering your money is essential for your success. Money creates opportunities so you can get to true financial freedom – whatever that means to you! So let’s get you fired up to make the big bucks, remove your money-limiting beliefs so that you can live a life you always dreamed of, and continue helping others in return! That to us is why we created MM.

Featured Interview with Marney Andes

Career development and “life coaching” for women is often viewed as a necessary evil. Everything sounds nice but nothing the female “success-gurus” say ever truly resonates. It’s all inspirational but not entirely applicable. Marney Andes’, former Mrs. America, college basketball star, and author of the bestselling book Start With the Give-Me Shots is changing that by taking career development beneath the surface with honest story-telling and real-life examples that make her advice applicable to anyone who listens to Breakfast Leadership. Don’t believe me? Take a look at what one reader said: “As someone who is Brooklyn-born and a ‘dyed in the wool’ East Coaster, let me reassure you, Marney’s book resonates beyond the fields of Nebraska. In fact, you’d be remiss if you don’t take the time to sink into this book.” After hearing a conversation with Marney I think your audience will share the same sentiment.   Marney Andes is a born-and-bred farm girl from Wallace, Nebraska. A consultant, educator, and entrepreneur, she has dedicated her career to supporting teams and individuals as they develop and grow.   Her experience in performance consulting and leadership development spans a wide range of industries, including technology, healthcare, education, and nonprofit. A college basketball player and former Mrs. America, Marney is the founder of Project Aspire, a nonprofit created to support women in their pursuit of higher education and leadership opportunities.  Marney holds a master’s in information and learning technologies from the University of Colorado Denver and currently resides outside of Denver with her husband, Allen, and her two sons, Owen and Brody.   Website LinkedIn Facebook Instagram
