Ignite Nebraska is an apprenticeship program fueling the way toward a more equitable future. Through this workforce development model, community partners, employers and educational institutions collaborate to provide paid apprenticeship opportunities with the promise of a full-time job offer in a high-demand, high-skilled, high-paying (H3) career for participants who successfully complete the program. Ignite Nebraska began with Joni Wheeler's desire to solve a far-reaching problem: Many people who are active in the workforce are under-resourced and cannot achieve financial stability. Despite working full time, they do not earn enough to move past financial barriers in their current jobs. This problem disproportionally impacts people of color, who are under-represented in H3 careers due to systemic inequalities. At the same time, employers often struggle to find talent to fill high-demand roles within their organizations. Ignite Nebraska works to solve these challenges facing community members and businesses by:
- Providing an innovative path for people to pursue a new career, facilitating inter-generational change by helping families build financial stability
- Enabling employers to build a diverse talent pipeline and strengthen their organizations by hiring locally
- Advancing workforce equity by opening the door to career opportunities that were previously inaccessible to some due to systemic inequalities

Bill Flynn is the author of Further, Faster: The Vital Few Steps that take the Guesswork out of Growthand we wanted to replay the conversation we had at the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak. We had a really interesting conversation about building a business and what the characteristics are of somebody who builds a business that endures. Obviously, there’s still a lot going on that we need to endure through. Even if you don’t have a business yourself and you’re listening as a leader who wants to have influence, there’s a lot in this episode for you.
In this conversation, Bill and I discussed his book, how to go from being sucked into those moments where you’re constantly putting out fires to being able to relax and plan for the future, how leading as a human being creates trust, how your response as a leader right now can impact your future success, and more!

We're going back to a special episode this week! Whether you’re working with people one-on-one, an executive working with a team, or you’re a parent who wants to the best come out of your kids, you’ve been tasked the challenging and rewarding work of helping others find their voice. In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to help others release their voice. Some topics discussed are how my son’s cub scout troop was the perfect reminder of how amazing it feels to help someone find and use their voice, why so much of how people express themselves has to do with what’s inside their mind, why it’s important to give immediate positive feedback when someone begins to share their voice, how doing so allows you to challenge them later, and more!

"I used to spend a lot of time journaling, processing the areas of life that cause stress, looking for the common thread that runs throughout the things that weigh on my heart. I don’t do this in writing as much anymore. Writing takes so much time…
But important things — internal things — take time. Journaling isn’t an intellectual exercise for me, it is a spiritual one. It’s something that slows me down long enough to be present to my inner life. It helps me get back in touch with my fears and then remember what I’ve learned about turning my fears into love.
This is soul-level work. It’s something I’ll avoid with busyness when I fear the truth.
But then at some point I remember that shining a light on the truth in my heart is the only way to find peace. It’s the only way to release my soul back into a state of love and abundance."

Naghmeh Panahi made international news when she publicly advocated for the release of her then-husband, Saeed Abedini, who was imprisoned in Iran for his work as a pastor. However, behind the scenes, her husband had a long history of domestic abuse, and Naghmeh’s journey out of oppression would eventually lead to her role today as a speaker, Bible teacher and an executive director of the Tahrir Alnisa Foundation, where she helps abused women escape and recover from domestic and religiously motivated violence.
In this episode, Naghmeh shares her story, the dynamics of domestic abuse and coercive control, the complex reasons why it’s so hard to get out, the importance of siding with the oppressed instead of staying silent, and her advice on being a voice of influence in a diverse setting.

What are the signs of a toxic leader and an unhealthy organization? What does it take to recover from the impact of a narcissistic leader?

How is it that narcissistic leaders seem to be so good at gaining a following? And why is it important to look at the systems that support such leaders instead of just assuming that the unhealthy leader is the sole source of the problem?
We are re-visiting the important topic of dangerous leadership dynamics and how they impact organizations as we take another look at Dr. Chuck DeGroat’s interview from last summer in which he and Andrea discussed his book When Narcissism Comes to Church.

Have you ever wondered why the Grinch stole Christmas? Our son’s 5th
grade teacher, Mrs. Brennan, posed this question to kids in the class and asked them to write a persuasive essay about why they believe the Grinch is either evil or misunderstood.
On the Voice of Influence podcast one of the key questions we explore is why are people the way they are? How can we motivate others who may be closed off to us?
Though Grant’s essay doesn’t go on to suggest how to approach the Grinch, it does give one food for thought. Perhaps there is a physiological or psychological reason for the Grinches among us.
Here is Grant Wenburg with his essay, “A Small Heart.”
What’s your role in making your work an opportunity to do what you love? Are there ways that you might be blocking your own goals at work?

We know that people want to be happy and fulfilled at work and that healthy organizations want to provide an environment that allows people to feel happy and fulfilled. The organization’s culture, the leadership style, and the individual employee all play a role in whether or not that desire becomes a reality.
What aspects of our work environment do we determine directly and which ones can we influence? In this episode, we address some of the crucial dynamics that impact employee engagement.

Whether it’s a product or an idea, how do we move beyond selling as a transaction and instead make it the catalyst for transformation? Finka Jerkovich joins Andrea today to discuss that, as well as why she believes confidence must be rooted in curiosity, creativity, and resourcefulness rather than being limited to competence.

Do you ever feel frustrated that others don’t seem to grasp the value of what your expertise can offer them? Getting buy-in from others sometimes requires some self-reflection on your part first.
In this episode, Andrea discusses her own process of recognizing the things that kept her from owning her voice so that not only could she connect her gifts with the needs in the world but she could also help others use their gifts effectively. Take some time today to clarify your purpose so that you can more effectively offer your expertise to others!

Last week, we talked with Shasta Nelson who wrote a book about how you have friendships at work and why are they that important. This week, we’re picking right up with a specific question I asked Shasta during our conversation that I feel deserves a deeper look.
In this solo episode, I share how the experience of choosing a table in a school cafeteria is like being around people who have differing opinions, the various options for how to handle being around people who have opinions you don’t agree with, the costs and benefits of each of those options, why we need to turn to grief before we turn to anger when processing our differences with those we care about, and more.

In this episode, Shasta shares how our relationships impact our physical and mental health, that more friendships at work do not always equal more drama in the workplace, the benefits of cultivating workplace friendships as a leader in your organization, that friendships are still possible in a highly competitive environment, the role vulnerability place in workplace friendships, why she doesn’t like it when people say it’s lonely at the top, how she is personally handling the relationships in her life with people who have differing political views than she does, how she developed her voice of influence, and more.
Our next series on the podcast is about friendship at work and Rosanne and I thought a perfect way to kick things off would be to talk about our friendship and how it aligns with our working relationship.
In this episode, Rosanne and I share the concerns she had when I first approached her a few years ago about working together, the lessons I had to learn in the beginning when it came to accepting Rosanne’s ideas and input without taking it personally, why ego needs to be removed from the equation, the importance of understanding the pushback from the other person often means they feel their voice isn’t being respected, what fostering friendships at work can look like for both introverts and extroverts, how to know if your team is becoming too isolated if they’re working from home and/or socially distancing themselves from each other, and more.

A few episodes ago, we talked about why it’s important to simplify your expertise so that people who don’t share your knowledge of a subject can care about what you have to say. In last week’s episode, I spoke with marketing consultant, Wes Gay, about practical steps that subject matter experts can take to cut the jargon and speak clearly so people will listen,
In continuing with this theme, I’m now discussing some mistakes experts make that end sabotaging their message by making other people feel dumb.
In this episode, I share how my 13-year-old daughter’s hatred for people who talk down to her because of her age is a perfect lesson in how to talk to your audience, how talking down to your audience is disrespectful to them, why you should use your “normal” voice when talking to your audience, the reasons I sometimes don’t talk in my normal voice, why your tone is just as important as your words, and more.

Wes Gay is a writer, entrepreneur, and marketing consultant. He is a StoryBrand Certified Copywriter and Guide, helping businesses clarify their marketing message and strengthen their position in the marketplace.
While this is Wes’ second appearance on the Voice of Influence podcast, he and I originally connected because I was looking for help with my own marketing efforts.
In this episode, Wes and I discuss what the “curse of knowledge” is and why all experts should be aware of it, why every expert needs to have empathy when it comes to their audience if they want their marketing efforts to truly resonate with them, the importance of giving yourself time and space to think, why it’s crucial that you’re empowering your audience rather than talking down to them, why you want to be as specific as possible when it comes to who the audience you’re trying to reach, the value of creating one central idea you want to communicate, his tips for determining what the central idea should be, his take on how Dr. Fauci handled the topic of facemasks in the recent pandemic, why you should have a clear villain in the stories you share with your audience, and more.

Starting today and continuing over the next few weeks, we’ll be diving deeper into how to communicate more simply so you message doesn’t get lost.
In this episode, Rosanne and I discuss how her son’s passion for fish is a perfect example of the importance of speaking to your potential customers in a way that will resonate with them, why we as experts need to realize that we’ll always care more about the subject matter than our clients and customers, why we need to know our target audience very well before we communicate with them, the value of shifting your marketing mindset from how you can get someone to purchase you offering to wanting to share something that can really help others, the questions you can ask yourself to see if you’re in need of a marketing or communication shift, how my free course can help you get clarity of these types of communication topics, and more.

After the three previous three episodes about change, I wanted to take some time to think through together what the psychology behind behavioral change means for you individually and how you can process paradigm shifts and helps others process them as well.
In this episode, I share the difference between assimilation and accommodation, the first time I experienced change in a way that rocked me to my core, the song I wrote about the feelings I had during that experience, how to understand what your paradigm is, the power of being able to honestly answer if you could be wrong about the situations requiring you to make paradigm shifts, the sense of feeling lost after going through a paradigm shift and what you need to remind yourself of during that time, the importance of not blocking out the pain that comes with paradigm shifts, and more.
We’ve talked this month about the fact that change challenges us. As part of this theme, I had a conversation with Dr. Espen Klausen last week about the psychology behind how people change.
In that conversation, Dr. Klausen described some of the differences between assimilation, which he says is bringing new ideas into old schemas, and accommodation, which he says involves significant paradigm shifts.
This week, Roseanne Moore is on the show to help me dive deeper into the concepts of assimilation and accommodation and how they can help us embrace change.
In this episode, we discuss some practical examples of assimilation and accommodation, how to know if you need to make a major paradigm shift or if the situation really calls for smaller changes, why it’s crucial for leaders to focus on personal growth if want those around us to do the same, what leaders can do to promote a healthy growth environment, the importance of taking care of your physical and mental well-being if you want to grow and change, the value of incorporating reflection in the process of changing something, how leaders can know if the resistance to their suggested changes is just a natural resistance to change or if it’s an indication of a deeper issue that needs to be addressed, and more.

With all of the global crises that have happened this year, people are stressed and we’re finding ourselves in the middle of a great divide when it comes to our perspectives on many important topics and it’s certainly having an impact on how we’re able to be a voice of influence.
In this episode, Rosanne and I discuss the growing lack of respect and trust for expertise and how you can get people to buy into your ideas in spite of that, the parallels between parenting and getting buy-in on your ideas from those around you, the importance of understanding that some people react based on logic while others react based on emotion, the value of taking actions to calm a situation rather than escalate it and the role self-awareness plays in that process, and more!

Earlier this year, I had a great conversation with Colin Crowley and I’m excited to have him back on the show today to talk about the value of bringing your diverse experience and talents into your work.
Colin is the VP of Customer Experience at Freshly, where he directs a two-hundred-person department across five locations in the United States and beyond. He specializes in building customer service departments from the ground up with a focus on scalability, infrastructure agility, technological innovation, and gold-standard quality and efficiency.
Something you wouldn’t know from Colin’s professional biography is that he’s also a playwright and he brings that experience into his work at Freshly and this aspect left me feeling like I just had to have him back on the show.
In this episode, Colin shares how customer experience really sits at the intersection of arts and operations, the importance of both strategy and empathy for customer experience, his personal experience becoming a playwright, how his self-driven learning and curiosity have played a role in his success, the parallels between producing a play and how the corporate environment should be in order to help people understand where they fit in the corporate vision, and more!

Today we're extracting the key takeaways from the series we've done this summer about power dynamics and the abuse of power.
We started this series because we recognized how important it was to directly address the unhealthy imbalance of power and unhealthy use of power.
The first step is to be able to clearly recognize the abuse of power and then to stand up in the face of the abuse of power. In this episode, we're covering why all of this matters, how to know when we should step in, how to step in without causing additional pain, and so much more.

Jason talks and writes about the concepts of wholeness, integration, and reconciliation through the lens of neuroscience, spirituality, and creativity. For many of us, there's always some sort of tension in our lives, whether in a relationship, in our own bodies, or frustration with things happening in the world around us. It also shows up as a sense within yourself that you know that you're not being truly authentic in every area of your life. If you have been experiencing these feelings, this conversation may help you shift your perspective with three questions that will help you to be a voice of influence that could help heal the great divides that we are currently encountering in our world.
In this episode, Jason talks about what it means to be whole. He shares about the freedom that comes with wholeness, the cost to ourselves, our communities, and our organizations of remaining fragmented, how to live from a place of wholeness and freedom even when circumstances aren't right, and so much more.

Dr. Neal Schnoor is Chief of Staff to the President at California State University, Long Beach where he operates in various functions in support of meeting the mission of the University. Dr. Schnoor was also my Professor when I attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney and he taught me as a Music Education Major and in a leadership class.
I still remember being in that class and being struck by his conviction about leadership and really calling us to be great leaders so when I started the Voice of Influence podcast, I really wanted to bring him on to share his voice. That was about three years ago and it was such a great conversation that when we decided to do this series on understanding power structures, I knew I wanted to talk to Dr. Schnoor again and have him share his perspective.
In this episode, Neal discusses how checks and balances help to maintain healthy power structures within an organization, how to lead in a healthy way, what you can do as a leader to create a culture that supports your team at every level, the most important aspect of a good leader, especially when faced with situations like the current pandemic, and so much more.

I think you're going to find this to be an incredibly rich conversation.

Naghmeh Panahi is a speaker, a Bible teacher, and an executive director for the TAF Foundation; an organization that helps abused women escape and recover religiously motivated violence, both in the form of domestic violence and in the form of religious persecution.
Naghmeh made national news when she publicly advocated for the release of her then-husband and pastor at the time, Saeed Abedini, who was imprisoned in Iran for his Christian faith. Unfortunately, her story is not an easy one to hear because it turns out that she was in an abusive marriage, and eventually they got divorced.
In this episode, Naghmeh shares her story, the complexities that go with what it’s like to be in a situation of oppression, the complex reasons why it’s so hard to get out, the importance of siding with the oppressed instead of staying silent, and her advice on being a voice of influence in a diverse setting.

Last week, we brought you part one of a two-part series about the myths around abuse and coercive control.
We had originally planned to release the second part of that series this week, however, we decided that given the events of the past few weeks, in particular, how things really escalated this week around the issues of racial injustice, we decided instead to release this interview with Lucretia Berry.
Lucretia is the creator of Brownicity, an anti-race/ism curriculum specialist, a writer for in(Courage).me, the author of What LIES Between Us Journal & Guide: Fostering First Steps Toward Racial Healing, a TED Talker, and a Senior Consultant for The American Dream Game. She received her Ph.D. in Education (Curriculum & Instruction) from Iowa State University.
In this episode, Lucretia shares why she created Brownicity and how it helps those at the beginning of their anti-racism journey, how the protests are about more than the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, how racism and racial injustice extends beyond police brutality, her response to those feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to say or how to show up for others right now, why you can just jump on the bandwagon and follow along with things you see happening on social media, how she is discussing racism and anti-racism in her own multi-ethnic family, and more.

It can be hard to know what to say in a conversation about race, but if you're vulnerable and share how you are learning about the world, other people's perspectives, and your own latent bias, it will help others to be more open to that kind of change, themselves.

We’ve broken fourteen myths into two groups that will be split between this episode and the next.

Lia Valencia Key was raised in an impoverished Philadelphia neighborhood, and even lived in a homeless shelter with her mom, sister, and her brother in one room that she says is about the size of a broom closet.
When Lia was on the podcast two and a half years ago, she was just starting to share her story and just starting to really get back out there. And in the last two and a half years, she has done some amazing things. Her amazing jewelry has been worn on-air by Robin Roberts of Good Morning America, she’s been interviewed by Mel Robbins and her jewelry has been featured on QVC.

So, what’s you’re going to hear today is a little bit of strategic planning as we look at how we can bring the audience to a point where they’re really internalizing her message for themselves and where there’s an actual transformation that can take place in the people in the audience.

In the past couple of months, probably because of some articles that have come out and some of the opportunities that I’ve had to speak to this, I’ve gotten more questions again about, “How did you get started? What do I need to know if I would like to start a brand online, if I would like to write a book, and if I would like to get going in this thought leadership kind of space?”
So, today, as we’re near the three-year anniversary of Voice of Influence, Rosanne and I thought it would be fun to sit down and have a chat about the journey I’ve been on. Because going back and looking at that more clearly and with more detail could be helpful to somebody who is really interested in knowing how they can go on this journey for themselves.
In this episode, we discuss the timeline of my personal journey, the mindset it took to get over the hump so that I could get started, the mindset it has taken to continue plodding down this path, the immense value of bringing other expert perspectives in on your process, what you need to know to get started, what I would tell myself if I could go back six years, and more!

We tend to talk about authentic self-expression on this show, but what does that really mean?
Most people equate being authentic to "being real" and always saying what's on your mind in the moment. However, that's not exactly correct.
Being "real" in the moment, may not truly be an accurate representation of how you truly feel because your perception of your emotions may be skewed.
It's this exact concept of our perception of physical and emotional pain and how that relates to our ability to authentically express ourselves that I'm diving into today.

Innovation is important because we don’t want the same old solutions that give us the same old results.
That's why I'm breaking down how to come up with creative, innovative solutions to complex problems; even if you don’t consider yourself a creative person.

What is a transformational message and what should be included?
Transformational messages can be used to connect with your audience on a deeper level and inspire them to take an action related to the message your sharing. However, there's a little more to it than just telling them what you want them to do.
In fact, there are three key points that should be addressed in each transformational message in order for them to be as effective as possible.
Including all three of the points I'll be discussing in this episode, will help you reach a wider range of people and allow them engage with your message more fully, creating a better experience for them and deeper connection to you.

As an idealist, you have a vision for how you would like the world to be. Unfortunately, that vision doesn't always come to fruition and that can be incredibly discouraging.
In my early twenties, I went through a painful experience of realizing my world wasn't what I thought it was and it left me questioning who I even was. It led to depression and a feeling of hopelessness but I was able to find something stronger the dreams I had lost. I was able to find real joy.
In this episode, I talk about that journey and why it's so important to embrace our pain and disappointment to help us find a stronger hold on our idealistic views, our mission, and our voice.

Have you ever been unsure of how much of your personal life and world views you should share with your audience; especially on social media?
When I first began putting my voice out into world publicly on social media, I found myself deleting a lot of posts because I never knew if I was sharing too much of my personal life. It was confusing and overwhelming. Over time, I was able to find the balance between sharing enough to allow my audience to connect with me while not sharing so much that it scared them away.

If you could ask Bill and Melinda Gates one question, what would it be?
I recently had the amazing opportunity to ask Bill and Melinda Gates a question via Twitter and, while they didn't directly answer the specific question I ask, I was able to to gain incredible insight into how they're communicating with the public while keep their personal and professional brands in mind.
In this episode, I explain how this opportunity came to be, the question I asked, their answer, and exactly how you can utilize the same tactics the Gates are using in order to make sure your voice aligns with your overall brand and goals.

Almost every single entrepreneur starts a business because they want to live life on their own terms. They have an idea in their mind of what they want their lives to look like on a daily basis. For some that means time freedom, so they can be home with their families. For others it means location freedom, so they can travel as often as they like. For these entrepreneurs, their business isn’t just about the bottom line. It’s about being able to life their ideal lifestyle.
April Beach is a business strategist and coach for lifestyle entrepreneurs; who also happens to be a very dear friend of mine. April focuses on helping entrepreneurs who want to build a business around their dream lifestyle.

Do you put forethought into how you want to show up to a conversation or do you spend more time worrying about how the conversation went, afterwards? In my experience, it's more common for people to regret the way we came across in the past than plan for how we will show up to the future. If you don't want to have regrets about 2018, listen to this episode and integrate these three practices into the end of 2017 so you can show up to 2018 as the no-regrets YOU you want to be.

Lia Valencia Key was in elementary school when an injury kept her mom from being able to work and she ended up in a homeless shelter in Philadelphia. Her mom became concerned when she saw her daughter acting like the culture around her, so she sat Lia down and gave her a plain and hard hitting choice: would Lia keep heading down the path of least resistance and be like everyone around her or would she choose to rise above and be the person she aspires to be.
Years later, Lia is honoring her mom's legacy and the choice she made to follow her dreams. After graduating college and then getting an MA in Education, becoming a world class cosmetologist and styling on air talent at QVC and around the world, she's now pursuing her passion to inspire others in a new way.

In this Voice Studio episode, Andrea contrasts the difference between a passionate voice and a reactionary voice. For more on this topic, visit www.voiceofinfluence.net
Gus Gustafson says he was raised in ‘Gus’ utopia’! His life had been perfect! He had great parents, great siblings and a great future. He was the biggest, fastest and strongest in his athletic family at his age. He had dreams of being the next Nebraska Cornhusker running back and then on to the NFL! That was his dream. That was his passion as a boy.
Then came a tragedy that Gus had to overcome! He suffered a horrible farm accident at the age of 9. The question was “How would he respond?” Could he turn this setback into a comeback?
His love for life, his passion for people and his determination to make a difference is evident. When you hear Gus share his funny, heart warming, challenging story of his life, you will feel invigorated and encouraged. If you are facing challenges in your life, he will help you gain real perspective and help you move through them.
Gus is not just a speaker, he has started three companies, he bought a company and turned it around and he has spent the last 23 years traveling around North America sharing his passion for people and life! He has faced so many real life challenges and business challenges, and can really engage with any audience.
Fully Armed is the title of his first book and Gus is currently working on a movie based on his life story.

Episode 14: Perhaps It's Time to Stop "Leading" and Focus on Influencing with Dr. Neal Schnoor

This Voice Studio episode is the first "after the interview" kind of episode from the Voice of Influence podcast. In episode 01, we heard some great insights from psychologist and speaker, Espen Klausen, Ph.D. that are sure to help us connect with other people and guide them to lightbulb moments of experiential learning. In the Voice Studio today, Andrea Joy Wenburg offers one question that will help you honor the inner experience of another person.
When we honor the inner experience of the other person, we suspend our own desire to make that person happy or change their mind about something so we can truly understand them and connect with their inner experience. And connecting makes us more attuned to what next step that person is truly ready to take so we can speak to where they are, rather than expecting them to meet us where we are.
