It’s well known that good communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, whether personal or professional. It's important to recognize, though, that it's our nonverbal communication—our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and tone of voice—that speak the loudest. The ability to understand and use nonverbal communication, or body language, is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.
Leading is all about influence. How you present yourself in a leadership role affects your ability to successfully leverage authority and motivate others. Do you inspire people to follow your lead?

The House of Windsor has a new addition! On May 2, 2015, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge was born at 8:34 a.m. London time. With the given name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the Princess entered into this world with as much pageantry and fanfare as one would expect for a royal. Following the birth of Princess Charlotte, many landmarks were lit pink including Tower Bridge, London Eye, and the Trafalgar Square. One thing is certain, the British love their monarchy!
Of note, Princess Charlotte is scheduled to be christened on July 5, 2015 at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Coincidentally, this is the same church in which Princess Diana was baptized.
On this episode, I have two royal experts as my guests to discuss everything from Princess Charlotte's lineage to her upbringing. If you are a fan of the British royals, you won't want to miss the episode. And even, if you're not, listen anyway to become one!

Judy Morris has worked as a Time-space feng shui professional and teacher for over 25 years and has clients throughout the United States, Caribbean, Canada and Europe. She is the first American certified to practice and teach Classical Chinese Feng Shui, and she is the first American designated as a Feng Shui Master through the Feng Shui Research Center founded by Master Joseph Yu.
She came to the feng shui profession from a successful 20+ year career as a management consultant, personal and business productivity coach. "My years as a consultant taught me to appreciate the impact our environments exert on our happiness, health, productivity and relationships," she recalls.
"I searched for a teacher who was grounded in this rich Chinese system. I was especially attracted to Toronto-based Master Yu because of his background is mathematics and physics," she recalls. "He is a scientist who set out to disprove Feng Shui and, in the process, became so convinced of its validity and power that he is recognized today as one of its most respected proponents." Master Yu is one of the top Classical Feng Shui Masters.
For years Judy searched for a Qi Gong master to assist her in having a deeper experience of the energies she works with in Feng Shui. Instead in 2004 she met Dr. Barry A. Morguelan who is one of fewer than 10 who have successfully completed the training to help people connect to the underlying root energy and to teach others how to stay connected and use that connection successfully. Through the ongoing learning and employment of these practices under the expert supervision of Dr. Morguelan, she has been able to surpass the general expectations of her clients and students in the efficacy of the Feng Shui services she provides and teaches.

Natural psychology is a brand new psychology of meaning.
Building on existential philosophy and psychology, it presents an up-to-date picture of life purpose centered on the idea of value-based meaning-making.
By accurately describing meaning as a psychological experience, by announcing that meaning must be made and not sought, and by providing a robust new vocabulary of meaning, natural psychology advances our understanding of the roots of emotional distress and provides a framework for authentic living.
Never run short of meaning or life purpose again!

New Zealand's John Martin has always lived life on the edge. At age 13, he biked around New Zealand's East Cape. At age 16, he made his first parachute jump. At age 18, he purchased his first aircraft and learned to fly. At age 21, he made New Zealand's first base jump and at 24 years old he obtained his commercial pilot's licence.
At age 26, he received burns to 70% of his body, face and hands when his crop dusting aircraft crashed and burned. He spent the next three months in intensive care in an induced coma, and underwent numerous medical procedures including skin grafting, debriding and reconstructive surgery. Within a year he returned to flying. He entered a partnership and purchased a branch of the company he previously worked for, providing the flying service to Motiti Island. A year later he set up his own Tandem Skydiving business which he still runs today.
In quieter times John spends time cruising around the Coromandel Coast on his yacht where he continues to explore his new found passion for writing. His first book, a short story called “Out of the Ashes” was used by several schools as a study aid and saw John listed with Celebrity Speakers NZ as a motivational speaker. John’s story “Just Shut Up and Jump” is not of one of self pity but a testament as to what a positive approach and never say die attitude can achieve.

Fear holds us back from realizing our dreams. It paralyzes us even when we can see success is within our grasps. Because of fear, many of us give up too early and never reach our most important goals. It’s our fear of failure, fear of inadequacy, and fear of the unknown that makes it so difficult to keep moving forward. But why? The answer is etched deep in our psyche because we have all experienced adversity. If you have ever been bullied, abused, ignored, or made fun of, those negative experiences can destroy a person’s self-confidence. We need to overcome those experiences to drive away our fears. Then, we free ourselves to pursue our dreams and live the life we’ve always wanted.
Beate Chelette, creator of The Women's Code, reveals the secret that allows you to overcome your fears and find true happiness.

Mallory Hytes Hagan was crowned Miss America on January 12, 2013. She represented the State of New York during the 2013 Miss America pageant where she won both the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition. For her talent, she performed a tap number to James Brown's "Get Up Offa That Thing". In addition to the $50,000 college scholarship as part of the Miss America award package, Mallory joined an elite sorority of women to hold the title of Miss America dating back to 1921. Mallory's platform, Child Sexual Abuse Prevention, is predicated on abuse suffered by members on her own family and is, therefore, very close to her heart. Within 24 hours of her reign as Miss America, she was in communication with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan promoting awareness of child sexual abuse. Mallory's major initiative as Miss America was to become a spokesperson for the Chidren's Miracle Network where she travelled approximately 20,000 miles per month in its support. Mallory's future plans consist of becoming a global marketing director for a comestics company after earning her degree in cometics and fragrance marketing.

The Electoral College today bears only a superficial resemblance to the ingenious system the Framers of the Constitution created. Their system was designed to identify the best possible presidential candidates and place only statesmen in the executive office. This book is an in-depth analysis of the purpose and benefits of the original Electoral College System—a system which has been hidden (or rather ignored) for over two centuries. The original design is then contrasted to the current party-controlled system we use today. Discover, in a concise text, essential principles required to restore the Republic and American constitutional federalism. Those who want to restore the principles of freedom, as established by the Framers in the original Constitution, will find this book indispensable. The Authors: Freedom Coaches, Gary and Carolyn Alder proclaim the principles of freedom in their classes, lectures and writings. Gary spent his professional career as a computer programmer/system analyst. He takes a unique approach in analyzing the Constitution. His conclusions come from considering the original Constitution as the system specifications and determining how a government that followed those specifications would function. Carolyn loves to share specific quotes of the Founders as their words provide a window to look into their hearts and minds. Website: http://www.freedomformula.us/

At 2130 Partners we believe everyone is a leader in their life regardless of their title or role at work. When people start to understand this and take on this perspective of themselves things start to shift. We have developed a proprietary methodology that we have used for over 20 years called, “Vision-Focused Leadership.” As the leader of your life, one of the most important things you can have is a vision for your life, or what we would call, “a Yonder Star.” This is different than having goals or objectives. A “Yonder Star” is developed by looking into the future and imagining that it has all worked out – that you are in a “Golden Age” of your life. What would that look like? What would it feel like? Where would you be? And more…From there we work backwards - what has to happen starting now, to get to where you want to be. It’s a combination of vision and action that can take our lives to new levels of success and satisfaction.

Today’s rapid pace of life and work has produced an unparalleled opportunity for all of us to expand our leadership influence and impact. A key factor in being able to seize this opportunity is our capacity to demonstrate personal accountability and leadership regardless of our role or job title. Not surprisingly, this capacity is most often driven by clarity and purpose both of which result from a heightened level of self-awareness. Additionally, this clarity and purpose allow us to define our own personal leadership formula for work and life based on our unique set of skills, experiences and values. Since launching WorkChoice Solutions, LLC in 2000, David O’Brien has invested well over 10,000 hours exploring the wide realm of leadership with a single question in mind. Namely, what separates truly great leaders from all of the rest? To be sure, this pursuit has been a learning continuum driven by countless conversations with leaders and teams all over the world as well as considerable reading, writing and self-reflection. The Discovering The Leader In You process represents the sum of this continuum as well as a framework for creating a deeper level of influence, impact and joy in all areas of our lives.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) are the most recognizable cheerleading squad in the world. Known for their emblematic uniforms, signature kick line and cowboy boots, the DCCs are, unquestionably, “America’s Sweethearts”. With the tagline “often imitated, never equaled”, the DCCs must adhere to what Director Kelli Finglass calls “almost unattainable standards”.

Many of us are stuck in a less than satisfying existence just marking time. We yearn for a life with more passion, meaning, purpose and/or authenticity. However, trapped deep down are old grievance stories and forgotten agreements with ourselves that lead us to believe we don’t deserve better. We’re seriously challenged to continue living the current version of life we can hardly wait to replace. Yet, at the same time, we feel we need to be “fixed” somehow before we deserve better. So, we’re caught in a nearly impossible catch-22 of wanting to be/have more or better, but not feeling deserving until we are more or better. What a dilemma! This dilemma is ultimately created by how we judge ourselves and our lives, including chastising ourselves for having taken detours in our lives and/or having fallen off our path. What if you knew that there ultimately are no detours, and that you cannot miss the life you were born to lead? What if it’s just a matter of shifting your perspective to be able to see how everything you’ve done ultimately prepares you for the life of your dreams? What if you knew you’re absolutely fine just as you are and just where you are right now to deserve the life you want? In this interview, Dr. Alice Chan will share practical insights on how we can reframe how we look at ourselves and our lives to embrace our power to create the life we want--NOW! www.dralicechan.com

If we are going to achieve our goals, enrich our lives, and discover new horizons - just how do we accomplish that? "Your Richly Imagined Future” is not just a platitude about being a better person - it is about having a greater impact on the people you associate with and developing a solid financial future at the same time. Material will be drawn from Robert's Canadian bestseller "Rich is a State of Mind", showing the parallels between personal and financial development, and how our concerns about personal finance directly affect our lives and our relationship with the people around us. During the discussion Robert will share with you his thoughts about financial leadership, discuss the myths of “financial happiness”, and provide insights into financial questions you may be thinking about, but don't know how to ask your advisor (or may simply be too afraid to…). "Your Richly Imagined Future" covers multiple topics including Motivation, Leadership, Fiscal Responsibility and Financial Growth. How you deal with these topics is critical to your ability to deal with life’s everyday events with the goal of developing solid long-term relationship with your finances. The four key areas are: 1) Understanding your "Current Reality" 2) Developing a picture of your "Richly Imagined Future" 3) Encouraging an attitude for "Disruption" 4) Sharing the power of "Choice"

Teresa Scanlan was crowned Miss America 2011 on January 15, 2011 at the 90Anniversary of the Miss America Pageant on ABC. Since her crowning, she has been traveling the country appearing on numerous national and local television programs, making corporate appearances, and talking about MAO’s national platform, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and her personal platform of Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk. As Miss America 2011, Teresa has the special honor of serving as the National Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals throughout her year of service. As the Goodwill Ambassador, Teresa will help to raise funds and awareness for the over 170 CMN hospitals across the country. As the youngest Miss America in over 70 years, Teresa is showing the country she is a leader and a role model for youth today. Teresa was home-schooled until her junior year of high school, before attending Gering High School for half of her junior year. She graduated early from Scottsbluff High School in the spring of 2010 after taking a double load of classes throughout high school. Teresa’s passion for her platform, to combat eating disorders, stems from a friend who struggled with bulimia. She did research about eating disorders for her friend and discovered how rampant it was across the nation. Teresa hopes to educate children and adults alike as to the signs and risks of eating disorders, as well as how and where to get help for themselves or a loved one. During 2011 pageant week, Teresa’s piano performance of “White Water Chopped Sticks” won her the Talent Award on the third preliminary night. When her year is over, Teresa plans to attend Patrick Henry College to study Government. Her dream is to become an attorney and eventually a judge or President of the United States of America.

Cassidy Phillips is a biomechanical specialist concentrating on sports performance, injury prevention, and the muscular structure that supports the efforts of the body in motion. His objective is to recognize the biomechanical challenges of movement and actions of everyday life and marry them with the biomechanical inefficiencies recognized within patterns of movement defined by a sport of choice or through sedentary patterns of movement such as sitting, walking, and running. Once told that he could never be an athlete again due to a muscular dysfunction called Fibromyalgia, it became his personal mission to understand muscular structure and the regeneration of dysfunctional muscle tissue. Instead of going through the traditional methods of schooling in fear that his out-of-the-box approach would be squashed, Phillips tackled countless hours of research to better understand the various methods of massage, chiropractic care, surgical procedures, and the treatment of traditional injuries in sport due to repetitive motion. Phillips gained a solid foundation on Myofascial Release Techniques, a form of massage to address the muscle spindle and the associated dysfunction such as trigger points, adhesions, and other muscular challenges. This process also retrains the pattern of movement by opening up the neurological pathway allowing greater muscular proprioception. After a long process of trial and error, he married his newly found education to his biomechanical background. The result is a line of patented products--called Trigger Point Technologies (TPT)--that mirror the feeling of the human hand. Athletes and non-athletes from around the world have used Phillips and TPT products to implement the use of Myofascial release with the TPT tools with incredible and sometimes life-altering results.

Melody’s work features small affordable art and miniature paintings which she creates with a combination of colored pencil, India ink, watercolor, and acrylic and sells online. Melody creates tiny art of fantasy beings (like fairies and mermaids) woodland animals, and illustrates children’s books. Being a passionate supporter of animal charity and Co Leader of Art For Critters, a percentage of her art goes toward animals in need! Melody’s work features small affordable art and miniature paintings (ACEOs) which she creates with a combination of colored pencil, India ink, watercolor, and acrylic. Is Melody an artist who can also talk to animals—or a lover of fur and paws who also draws like a dream? Her fans can’t tell where one gift ends and another begins. All they know is that the combination has led to some pretty interesting life circumstances, from teaching art in a chicken coop to composing watercolors on horseback. And that may also be why Melody’s renderings of fairies and forest vistas seem as alive as her portraits of horses and cats. All creatures great or small, real or imaginary, inspire Melody’s brush. Having done her time at art school and the gallery scene, with a successful series of commissions along the way, Melody now paints miniature masterpieces in the Berkshire Mountains while tending to a menagerie that includes a horse, a husband, three cats, two kids, and a dog.
