In this episode of IDEAS+LEADERS I am speaking with Ryann Dowdy about creating a safe space for every woman to come together and be fearlessly themselves.
Ryann is a founder of Be in the Room - the exclusive community for female leaders that want success on their own terms.
Ryann Dowdy did everything RIGHT in life. She had her dream job, 6+ figure salary, married, kids, and a nice home... and still woke up one day feeling completely unfulfilled. She knew something wasn’t right. She realized it was because she was chasing a dream that wasn’t hers. As an expert in sales, she created a Facebook community of over 7,000 women looking to follow their dreams of starting a profitable business. Women began joining her sales training program not only for the incredible knowledge and results Ryann brought to the table, but also for the amazing community of empowered women Ryann sought to create.
As she found more success on her journey, Ryann realized she still felt alone and misunderstood by her peers. That’s when she realized SHE herself did not have a community to come as the truest version of herself.
Today, Ryann’s mission is to create a safe space for every woman who has ever been told she’s too much, too picky, too loud, too ANYTHING to come together and be fearlessly themselves.

In this episode we are discussing with Florian Bay whether leaders should lead from the front or from the back and what are the benefits of both approaches. We also speak about communication and public speaking challenges and solutions.
Florian Bay’s natural curiosity took him from studying Chemistry to the world of public speaking and leadership with a career in the energy industry in between. His chemistry background taught him that everything can be transformed into valuable products under the right conditions. His energy industry career took him from nuclear power station control rooms to strategic analysis for the UK’s largest energy company.
He embarked on a journey of discovery in public speaking and leadership in 2013 by joining Toastmasters International. He led the Southern UK District which represents 180 clubs and 5,000 members, to achieve the prestigious recognition of Distinguished District and to 2nd in the world on a major quality metric despite challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Identified as a “rising star” by Toastmasters CEO, Florian successfully created innovative strategic plans, initiatives and communication strategies that have since been adopted worldwide among Toastmasters 355,000 members.
His journey of discovery in public speaking led him to overcome shyness and limiting beliefs. He can, therefore, relate to many of the challenges that professionals face when speaking to deliver important or complex messages. He is a Distinguished Toastmaster, holds a Public Speaking Diploma from New Era Academy and currently runs his public speaking and leadership development company Speak to Lead.

In this episode we are talking with Eric Edmeads about maintaining immunity and health in business.
Eric Edmeades is an accomplished entrepreneur, author and the architect of several highly effective and transformational seminars, workshops and retreats around the world. However, his intersection with the health and fitness industry was an accidental one.
Suffering for most of his teens and early 20’s with severe allergies, sinus troubles, throat infections and acne, he was only weeks away from a surgery to take out his tonsils when a friend of his urged him to attend a personal transformation seminar. That seminar ended up not only clearing up 10 years of chronic symptoms but it changed everything he believed about health and food.
Since then it has been his life’s passion to help people wake up to the reality that, in terms of health, they are off course. That the human and financial cost of our current way of life is far too great.
His years of research on the “human diet” — the diet that we humans are meant to be on — led him to develop the WILDFIT Challenge, a step-by-step system to quickly transition people to this revolutionary way of looking at health and fitness.

In this episode we are talking about the paradigm change in contemporary corporate leadership. What do we need now to be better leaders, to have more effective teams and to be more fulfilled.
For the last 30 years Mark has been a national leader in the movement to reconnect humanity to the natural world.
He works with executives and leaders who are seeking enduring transformation of company culture. As a human-connection specialist, he designs talent development from the potential of human connection, as opposed to working from existing paradigms of employee management.
His "6 Core Routines of Leadership Connection", transform issues of loneliness and burnout into thriving workplaces of innovation.
"What I believe is that we are all built for connections—to culture, community, each other, and ourselves. Without those connections we underperform and when well developed, we thrive. I've been examining the inner-workings of these connections through the lens of the natural world for my entire life."
He organizes high-performance teams applying nature-based leadership principles all over the US as well as Canada, England, Germany, Scotland, Austria and France. This work has taken him inside Google, NIKE, Harvard School for Public Health and numerous other tech companies.
