Climbing the Mountain of Accountability is Not Going to be EasyHere is a fact that is never said about accountability… No one can hold anyone else accountable, you are only accountable to yourself.
We all talk about the importance of accountability. We think if we put someone in charge of another person, we will somehow motivate the through accountability.
But accountability must come from you. And we have to learn to climb the mountain of becoming more accountable to ourselves. In other words, you need to “Own your stuff!””
At the bottom of the mountain of accountability is oblivion, a lack of self-awareness that you are not holding your self accountable.
Followed by the next step blame, followed by excuses, it’s too hard until we get to the top that says, “I am the only thing that stands in the way of my success and happiness.
So are ready to reach success and happiness like you always desire? Then tune into this episode of A New Direction as Co-Author Salem Thyne talks to us about Nobody Cares…Until you do.
Salem Thyne and Robert Hunt’s book, “Nobody Cares (Until You Do): Living Beyond The Blame, Excuses and Doubts That Hold You Back” is the book for every person on the planet.
This book clearly and strongly makes the case that accountability is not going to be something that is shared between two people…accountability is something that is up to each one of us individually.
The authors use a mountain climb to explain the different levels we are mentally and emotionally at before we reach the summit of accountability.
For example, at the bottom of the mountain, we start with a lack of awareness that we are not accountable to ourselves.
Then we move to the next level, “blame”, then up a short level to “excuses”, then climbing to “it’s too hard”, followed up by “wait and hope” and the climb continues.
As you begin to let go of these traits one by one, we slowly become more self-accountable. And with that accountability comes freedom. Freedom to choose how we want to live, because we own it.
Throughout the book there are “Accountability Exercises” that will help yo dig deep into you, to help you navigate the climb.
This book is so good. Just do not buy it for yourself, buy it for your employees too.
Remember, if we don’t hold ourselves accountable, then any other attempts are accountability are nothing more than manipulation and micromanagement. Because no one can hold us accountable.
And by the way Nobody Cares…Until You Do!

Your Leadership Can Become Dull Like a Knife in Your Home…You Need Some Honing Steal to Sharpen it.Leadership is never something we can fully master. It is an elusive journey to keep growing and going.
Many times as leaders, we can get into a rut in our leadership. We can get stagnant. For whatever reason, our leadership has become bland.
Then there are those that we lead. Perhaps they have lost faith in our leadership ability. For whatever reason, the followers don’t have the same energy around our initiatives.
Like a once sharp knife, our leadership has become dull. We need honing steel to sharpen our leadership. Where do you find that?
In this episode of A New Direction, Major General John Granski (RET’d) joins us to talk about his little book entitled, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader”.
General Gronski’s new pocket book, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader” is a must-have for every person.
This is a small compact powerhouse leadership book that will engage you, inspire you, and if you will consistently follow the chapters in this book will change into the leader your followers always hoped you would be.
General Gronski, combines his passion for leadership with outstanding research and his experience as a U.S. Army Major General to give us the most valuable nuggets to be a great leader.
One of the most fantastic things about this pocket book is that he takes ideas that normally would be used in the military and as he says “civilianizes” it.
The book is a great combination of practical and thought-provoking. Dealing with everything from your mindset to your behavior.
A perfect book for anyone, whether you are in leadership or aspire to grow as a leader in your business or family.

How to Have Conversations that Really Change You and Your Business.Whether in life or business, relationships are important to our success. And relationships are built on our conversations.
If our conversations are not authentic, trusting, safe, have commitment, and accountability, we will not build strong relationships.
The fact is that we often take our conversations for granted. We would like to believe that we are communicating clearly, but our own biases actually keep us from being as productive as we need to be.
So what is the answer? In this episode of A New Direction, Best-selling author Douglas Squirrel (a.k.a. Squirrel) returns to join us to dig into his best-selling book, Agile Conversations.
Get ready because Squirrel is going to help you change conversations that will create more productivity that translates into more profitability.
Douglas Squirrel’s co-authored book “Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture” is not difficult to do, but is difficult to commit too.
What do I mean? What Squirrel is asking you to do is actually quite easy, but it is the willingness of the participants involved with the conversation that make this so hard.
Each person must be committed to the process. You must be intentional in your behavior and action. But the results are phenomenal.
The fact is, if any single one of us wants to improve, we have to do things that are uncomfortable. If you want your business or life to improve, then having these conversations in this way take work and effort.
However, we all know the results of hard work and effort…change, productivity, and from a business perspective that leads to profitability.
Agile Conversations is a fantastic book, I have read it twice. And I have to say it has made me more aware of my own conversational shortcomings and where I need to improve both personally and professionally.
Great book, you can but it from Amazon.

Taking a Break from Burn OutWork burn out is real. So often employers dismiss it and treat it as a weakness in the employee. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Let me ask you this question, would you want to have a surgery from a doctor who is exhausted mentally, emotionally or physically? Of course not.
Some professions actually do recognize the need to protect their employees from burn out, and offer sabbaticals. But not every profession does this practice.
The fact is at some point in our career we will feel exhausted. The stress of life and your career has finally come to a pinnacle. Here comes burn out.
You believe you can’t quit, but at the same time you don’t have the same effectiveness or efficiency to do your job. Burn out is looming, what do you do?
On this episode of A New Direction, marketing executive and entrepreneur and executive coach Laura Nguyen joins us to talk about how to take a break from your burn-out, save your life, and still have a career.
Laura Nguyen‘s book, “Career Break Compass: Navigating Your Path to a Balanced Life Through Intentional Time Off” comes out November 12th.
The book is so insightful, and full of the research that Laura Nguyen has conducted. If you ever thought that “burn out” wasn’t real, or only for the weak…think again.
Career Break Compass takes us on a journey to understand what burn out really is, the symptoms, and how we respond to it.
Laura then takes us further along by helping us understand that we are not helpless, we have choices, they may be tough choices, but we can take a break.
Career Break Compass gives us the step-by-step process to negotiate a break from work, how to plan your break, structuring your break and getting back to work after the break.
This is one of those books that if you are struggling with burn out will help you get to the other side. Truly a must lead for those struggling and for leaders for prevention.

5 Conversations That Will Change YouWe all say, “communication is important.” The problem is, we still do not communicate all that effectively.
If we did, our personal and professional relationships would be so much more effective and efficient.
What is the biggest problem with our communication? It is ourselves.
We either do not have the right conversations, do not focus on the right part of the conversations, or we will not have the hard or difficult conversations.
What is more we are often times hypocritical. We think one thing and say another. We make judgements without full knowledge. We make assumptions about the other person.
When you think about the conversations you have at home or at work, your thoughts are often not matching your words. You are not saying what you really mean…
And hence a conversation was had, but there are no results. And our conversations should bring both alignment and change. How do we change that?
Fortunately for all of us, Best Selling Author Douglas Squirrel joins us on A New Direction to talk help us with the 5 Conversations we need to have for real change. From his book “Agile Conversations”.
Douglas Squirrel’s book, “Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture” is absolutely one of the best books on conversation you will read.
Agile Conversations is not for the faint of heart. In fact, I will tell you this book is going to require you to do work. And the work starts with you. It is emotional work. And it is not easy.
This book lays out a complete and comprehensive strategy that if you will follow it, practice it, and continue to practice will change every conversation you have both personally and professionally.
If you follow the guidelines and the outlines in Agile Conversations, it will single-handedly improve your relationships, conquer conflict, make your business more productive and ultimately more profitable.

Motivation: How Do You Create It for Yourself and Your Team?Motivation. There are a ton of theories that exist. Some theories suggest that motivation comes from within, others suggest motivation can be inspired from others.
Regardless of what camp you fall into, there is one thing that has stood that test of time and that is “Prospect Theory” which was coined by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman in 1979.
This theory of motivation still holds true today. The fact is are motivated to avoid pain and also motivated to seek pleasure. And when you can combine the two, motivation will be at it’s peak.
In this episode of A New Direction, #1 Best-Selling author and actor Terry Fossum returns to talk to us about how we directly apply “Prospect Theory” through what he calls “The Oxcart Technique”.
Terry will take us through the scenarios, both personally and for your team. You will want to join us LIVE right here for this practical application of The Oxcart Technique.
The Oxcart Technique: Blueprint for Success is on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today is on the #1 Best Selling Books for a reason…It’s that great!
This book is a life-changing book. Not because you read it, because if you follow the prescription that Terry Fossum lays it, you will in fact be more successful.
This book is a step-by-step practical guidance based on “Prospect Theory” from Nobel Prize winning researcher Daniel Kahneman.
The book not only is a guide, but is also filled with examples of how to successfully implement The Oxcart Technique for business, marriage, addiction, individuals and teams.
One of the best book I have read. I recommend it not only that you read it, but you take action on it. It will in fact change you!

Then add to that practical action, and you have a winning formula for greater success in every area of your life and business.
On this episode of A New Direction Stu Crum former standout collegiate kicker, and drafted by the NFL and USFL and successful executive with Texaco, Shell, Jiffy Lube, Bridgestone and other major corporations, joins us to help you and I learn through intention and practical application how we can achieve greater success in every area of our life.
Stu Crum’s book, “Aim for the Uprights: The Intentional Playbook for Success in Faith, Family, and Business” is the story of Stu Crum’s life from being an NFL desired Kicker from University of Tulsa to Boardroom Executive and CEO of major corporations.
While Stu Crum‘s story is filled with personal and professional challenges, great highs and painful events, he lives a life on purpose and with intention. And that is the point of his book.
He creates for us a playbook he calls “The Intentional Playbook”. And at the end of each chapter, Stu Crum gives you and I practical tips on how to change our mindset and our behavior.
As you read the book and apply the practical lessons Stu Crum teaches you and me, it becomes clearly evident that he is not asking us to do anything outside our ability, but is asking us to take small steps that lead to greater success.
Regardless of your age, or where you are in life personally or professionally, “Aim for the Uprights” will be a game changing book that will increase your success.

Can Your Business Run without You?As I am writing this, I had just finished talking to an entrepreneur/business owner who said, “I’ve got too much on me… And only I can do it.”
So often, the very thing that they created for freedom from having to work for someone else becomes the very thing the imprisons you.
Because you have become the very center of your business, everything revolves around you. It’s all about you. And when that happens, you don’t have a business to sell, because it can’t run without you.
You come to realize that you don’t run your business, it runs you. You are no longer working on the business because you’re working in it.
There must be an answer to grow and be able to expand your business without being so dependent on you.
And that is where Best-selling author and U.S. Marine Richard Walsh comes in on this episode of A New Direction for Part 2 of “Escape from Owner’s Prison”.
Richard Walsh book “Escape the Owner’s Prison” is a no nonsense read that gets right to the point of practical guidance to help you have a business that does not feel like a prison from the rest of your life.
Escape the Owner’s Prison is straight talk about hiring, firing, marketing, and more. However, the point of the book is being able to create the margins you need to be successful in business and have a life.
The book takes you through stages of growth and what you need to know to at every stage, so that you don’t lose yourself in the prison of your own business.
Great book! Get your copy by clicking Escape the Owner’s Prison.

Leading Change in Your Business or OrganizationChange is inevitable. It’s one of the guarantees we have in life. Even in our businesses and organizations, we must deal with change.
The fact is no one likes change. We have a built-in mechanism to resist it. On some level, change violates our sense of comfort and freedom.
If you are in leadership, what can you do to help make the change in your organization smoother? How can you help make change not so overwhelming?
In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling author Mindy Vail joins us to talk about her groundbreaking book on leading change…”The Mindshift Effect“.
Get your pen and pencils out and get ready to take notes it’s going to be a practical lesson in leading change.
Mindy Vail’s book, “The MindShift Effect: Where Change Management is Redefined and Leadership is Refined” is a practical guide and toolkit for leading change in any organization of any size.
Mindy leads in the Introduction of the book by explaining that to this point much of the work on Leading and Managing Change is very academic and there is a need to understand these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.
She accomplishes this brilliantly in The Mindshift Effect, as she takes concepts and theories and explains them in terms that will help any leader at any level be able to better manage the change in the organization.
The fact is that change is inevitable, and you as a leader need to deal with change, but your people will be resistant to change because it is what our brain naturally does. Hence, overcoming that for your organization becomes the challenge.
Mindy Vail, gives you specific ideas and tools that you can use that help you be a more transparent and authentic leader that will help your people adjust to change more quickly.
The Mindshift Effect one of those books you will want to keep on your bookshelf and refer to time and time again. The information is invaluable and what is more you will be able to use it immediately.

Owners Prison: 3 Levels to Breaking FreeIf you are an owner of a company there is one thing that is absolutely true. You are responsible for everything! There is always a fire. And there are no days off.
But is that the way it should be? When entrepreneurs start with an idea, they want to change the world, but as the owner of their own company eventually they make themselves a prisoner to their own ideas.
And when you are in owners’ prison, we shut out the world around us. Our families are sacrificed. Our friends are left behind. And our time is determined by the very thing we own and created.
What are we to do? How can we free ourselves from owners’ prison? Is there any hope for owners’ freedom? The answer is, YES!
In this episode of A New Direction, U.S. Marine, Champion Boxer, Black belts, entrepreneur and best-selling author Richard Walsh joins us to tell you his story of losing it all and regaining his freedom.
This show is going to be so good. Listen in and enjoy.
Richard Walsh’ book, “Escape the Owner Prison: The Contractors new way to scale, regain control and fast track growth while loving life” is a phenomenal guide to helping every entrepreneur start up and get growing.
The book comes from the point of view of Richard Walsh’ failure and how rebuilt himself as an entrepreneur and owner and yet excel as a husband, and father, and living a life of freedom.
Every chapter of this book has something practical for you to think through. Whether that be how you think about money, how you hire, branding, marketing, your value and worth, and so much more!
This book is an outstanding guide to building your business from the ground up, sustaining and developing your exit.
This book has tremendous value and I believe it should be for every entrepreneur whether they are starting or have been years in the business.

Breaking the Procrastination HabitLet’s be honest there are things that you don’t want to do, that you know you should do, but don’t do. And the reasons are many.
You may say, “I don’t procrastinate, I never do that in my job”! Okay, well how’s that eating right thing going for you? How about those workouts you said you would do…someday.
Oh how about not eating sugar, quitting drinking, stopping fast food, going to the doctor, learning a foreign language, an instrument, going to counseling, hiring a coach you need. Yep you put it off…that’s procrastination.
In this episode of A New Direction #1 International Best-Selling Self-Help Author Scott Allan joins us to help you break the HABIT! Yes, the Habit of Procrastination.
Scott Allan‘s book “Do the Hard Things First: How to Win Over Procrastination and Master the Habit of Doing Difficult Work” is a complete toolkit to overcome procrastination.
Do the Hard Things First (DTHTF) starts by taking a deep dive into what procrastination is and why we do it.
Scott, wants all of us to start with a clean slate when it comes to this particular challenge, and part of that clean slate is stepping into forgiveness. Forgiving yourself and your past.
Then Scott moves us to 22 steps that you can take to begin the process, and he notes it is a process of getting ourselves in a position where we are doing the more difficult tasks first, rather than those things that have very little pay off.
These steps are not all required. In fact, you can pick as many as you want that work for you.
I highly recommend you take a look at his step of the 80/20 Pareto Principle as a way to overcome Procrastination and the Premack Principle and Bundling.
If you struggle having the hard conversations, or putting them off, or not dealing with your finances, writing that book you threatened to write or something else. This book will be a refreshing help for you.

How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend & Break the Rules for Results!Get a job at any business and the first thing you are told is the rules. “This is how we do things here.”
As we age we get even more rule oriented. Less dreaming, less risk taking, less creative thinking, and God forbid that you should challenge convention.
The fact is we are a rules driven society. The fact is those that disagree with you, want to impose their rules on YOU, so you will do as they say and wish.
And yes the military has a set of established rules, but one thing that may surprise you is when you are in “unconventional warfare” units, like the Navy SEALs you have to take a more unconventional, creative approach. And yes, even at times the rules of warfare are completely thrown out the window.
How about you? Are you willing to “break” the rules of the game? How about “bend” the rules? Or maybe ignoring them altogether so you can achieve real results?
On this episode of A New Direction Retired Navy SEAL Marty Strong joins me to get outside of the norm, disrupt standard thinking and embrace change, and bolster creativity.
Marty’s book, “Be Different: How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend, Break, or Ignore the Rules to Get Results!” is a mindset changer.
Marty Strong takes examples of his different roles as a Navy SEAL combat veteran, and instructor, and his different roles as a Business owner and Entrepreneur and trains us how to start thinking differently.
And that is the crux of this book. Think differently, and in order to think differently one must think creatively.
To begin thinking creatively Marty Strong gives us the history of how it is against our norm to think differently. We have been conditioned and trained to live by rules, to be obedient. Not make waves.
However, it is in our wave making creative thinking where we will find the greatest results. It is where your profits will be. It is where life takes on purpose and meaning.
Marty also cautions however, that when you start thinking differently, and take action on your thinking get ready for “blowback”. Get ready for the “naysayers”. Get ready to be shunned. You will need a thick skin.
At the end of it all when your thinking and action is different it is where you will find your authenticity and success. I highly recommend this book!

Resilience, You, Your Work, and Your LifeMore and more people in the workforce including executives are starting to realize the toll that wellness, stress, and severe health issues are taking on their jobs and their families.We all feel it, and we need answers. And that is where this week’s book Resilience @ Work comes in.Four people sit around a fire at the beach after taking lessons to learn to surf. These people are as different as you and me and carry with them their different personalities.First there is Hurry, he is a hard worker, always on the go, but as the waves of work get higher and higher, for every step he takes, he gets blown back by the waves 3 steps back.Always trying the next “Get Rich Quick” Scheme, he doesn’t have the resilience to take the long view.Then there is Worry, she is filled with anxiety, she feels her life has little meaning and as the bills pile up, she feels she is drowning in the sea of “no hope”.Always worried about her appearance in front of others, she lacks the resilience to be her authentic self.Next comes Steady, she reads the waves an knows when to paddle and to ride them. She is agile and adaptable. But she was not always that way because she had to do a ton of work on herself to get her to this point.Finally, there is Ready, the eldest of the four. He found his purpose at a young age, but he neglected it. And after floundering around in the sea of life he finally has come to understand that he had these gifts all along, but simply was not using them.Do any of these four people sound like you? Perhaps there is a piece of all of them that you can relate to.In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author Simon T. Bailey takes well written book and assessment to help you discover who you are, and how you can help yourself become and live as the authentic person you created to be that will give you the greatest opportunity for success.Simon T. Bailey‘s book, “Resilience @ Work: How to Coach Yourself into a Thriving Future” is an insightful book into ourselves through the perspective of 4 people named Hurry, Worry, Steady, and Ready.Each person has their own story and are in different places in life trying to find their authenticity and purpose.The book is a powerful allegory, filled with thought provoking moments that enlighten the reader to ask themselves to be more open to where they are at.As the book journeys on the reader experiences the impact of the fire side discussions between the members of the group and how they each move toward a new direction in their life and future.This book although very different gave me the feel of the best-selling book “Who Moved My Cheese”. I will say that this book dives much deeper.
In addition, this book also comes with assessments so that you can get sense of who you are in the story and perhaps where you need to get some help and go to work on you.
Great book click here to get your copy of Resilience @ Work by Simon T. Bailey, I highly recommend it!

Your Energy Determines Your SuccessEvery single day we bring some sort of energy in to our work place, home, and every conversation.
Our energy is rarely if ever neutral. In fact, it typically is either destructive, or constructive. And that energy comes at different levels.
But…what if we could harness the constructive energy, and understand that even destructive energy could have a place and purpose?
And what if we could control the right level of energy that could powerfully influence productivity, change a habit, and increase motivation? Would that interest you?
Well on this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rebecca Ahmed joins to talk about her latest book The Energy of Success.
It’s so good and you are going to walk away with knowledge and tools you never had before.
Rebecca Ahmed’s book, “The Energy of Success: Power Up Your Productivity, Transform Your Habits, and Maximize Workplace Motivation” is a fantastic read.
The book is an eye opener, as it helps the reader become more self-aware of what type of energy you are bringing into the lives of others, as well as, what level of energy are you using.
The fact is your energy is either destructive or constructive. And depending on your level of constructive energy you may not be as constructive as you could be. Meaning you have some limitations.
As Rebecca Ahmed walks us through the 7 levels of energy from “Safety” to “Climax” we find that we all are in a constant state of growth should we choose to level up, or we can remain stagnant in our energy level and never achieve the level of success we have the potential for.
The book is an outstanding read, full of practical guidance on how to level up your energy. Order your copy of The Energy of Success right here!

You Need to Find Your Authenticity to Find PurposeThe famous sociologist Erving Goffman in his dramaturgical theory suggested that we are all actors on a stage, and we wear masks so people will perceive us the way we want them to perceive us.
In today’s world and the party that is social media we see more masks as people present themselves behind screens where we often will not see the truth of who they are.
And if we cannot be true to who we are, that is, be authentic, then how can we truly live our purpose? The answer is we cannot.
So many of us do not live a life with purpose, much less on purpose. We simply go through life as if it is purposely living from one vacation to the next.
Isn’t it time we lived a life of purpose on purpose? To help us understand how we might do that, we bring in best-selling author Randy Adkins Jr. on this episode of A New Direction. JOIN US Right HERE…and start living your life on purpose.
Randy Adkins book, “Produce on Purpose: Experience Life Being the Real You” is a spiritual and deep look at how your authenticity leads to your purpose.
At the end of each chapter Randy asks some deeper questions to help you along the journey to discover who you really are and what you are created to do.
The big AHA moment is when you realize that you will have a difficulty discovering your purpose if you do not live authentically from your true self.
The book uses the analogy of going to a masquerade party where we all where masks and Randy helps us to remove them and set us on the path.
Like so many people in today’s society we are not comfortable in our own skin. And thanks to the like of social media, we feel pressure to be someone else than we truly are.
Once we live authentically, then pursuing purpose becomes easier, as we are able to look at our God give natural talents, gifts, and abilities that lead to what our mission is and live it intentionally.
Truly an inspiring book, and one that truly begs the questions, “what is life really about and what is my place in it”?

60% of Sales People Never Meet Their Quota…The Question is “why” and what Can You as a Sales ManagerDo about it?Did you know that 60% of sales people never reach their sales quota?
You may think it’s 50/50 but in fact most do not make their sales quota. Why?
This is the frustration for many CEO’s and sales managers. It is the question of how do we improve our salespeople?
The first look is often and probably should be the sales team manager. They are like a coach of a sports team. They often get too much blame and the eyes of the sale staff, they can get too much credit.
Okay so what does a great sales manager do to help get their sales to excel?
Well in this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author, Veteran Sales Success Expert and Sales Whisperer (I call him that) Steve Weinberg joins us to get us “Above Quota Sales Managment: Tips and Techniques to Get the Best Out of Your Sales Team”.
You will not want to miss Steve’s practical insights, from his years of experience and research.
Steve Weinberg’s new book, “Above Quota Sales Managment: Tips and Techniques to Get the Best Out of Your Sales Team” is an absolute must read!
The book is a culmination of Steve’s successful experience as salesperson who has closed over $500 million dollars in sales, and research in the field.
Above Quota Sales Management is a practical guide and handbook for those who truly want to either change the direction of their sales team or want the best out of them.
The book dives into areas that typical sales books do not. Talking about the change in what sales managers do, and how the interact with their salespeople, dealing with the personalities of a buyer, understanding the nature of personal assistants who are protecting the decision makers and more!
Great book get your copy from Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Get 101 Lessons from an Entrepreneur Who Made It Big!I think all of us dream of working for ourselves at some point or another. We all like the idea of being an entrepreneur.
But let’s be honest, being an entrepreneur is not easy. In fact it takes a lot of guts, a lot of resilience, sleeplessness nights, and spending a lot of your time alone.
But one of the ways you can get through it is when you are able to talk with the people who have done it and done it successfully.
And that is exactly why we bring best-selling author and entrepreneur Larry Gaynor to A New Direction to give us…well…A New Direction when it comes to being an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneur Larry Gaynor’s new book “Take a Chance! 101 Entrepreneurial Lessons for Making it Big” is the perfect book for every entrepreneur regardless of the stage you are in.
Personally, I love books that have numbered lessons and tips. Each one makes you think and reflect if you are doing the same thing.
What makes this entrepreneur book more powerful, it is written by a person who is in the middle of it, had to build it from the ground up, maintain it, and create a legacy from it.
The book is filled not only with practical and useful tools and tips, but has great stories that help make the lesson really come to life.
If you are an entrepreneur, or considering becoming one, this book is one that you will want to read, keep on your bookshelf and use it as a refence.

Build Wealth Through a FranchiseThere are tons of people out there who want to tell you how to build wealth. Some are successful and others…not so much.
But perhaps one idea of wealth creation has been overlooked by you and others. And that is owning a franchise.
Look creating your own business can be difficult, but you can still own your own business by investing in a franchise.
Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to purchase a franchise is how to go about selecting the right one, and asking the right questions.
In this episode of A New Direction Franchise Expert and Franchise Consultant Gregory Mohr joins us to help us make the best decision when it comes to franchise ownership.
You may think this may not apply to you…so did I until I read his book, “Real Freedom”. A franchise may just be the ticket for building wealth that you have over looked.
Greg Mohr’s book, “Real Freedom: Why Franchises Are Worth Considering and How They Can Be Used for Building Wealth is 101 pages of gaining an introductory and practical understanding of how to find the right franchise for you.
Real Freedom shares real stories and provides real examples of how people changed their lives buy purchasing a franchise.
Real Freedom takes a deep dive into understanding the pros and cons of owning a franchise, and the insights into how you can finance and purchase a franchise.
Greg Mohr’s franchise coaching experience is invaluable as you read this book as he is able to help us understand some of the details of franchising that we might otherwise overlook.
This is a great show and a great information. If you have ever thought about getting into franchising, and not sure what franchises are available Greg Mohr makes it easy.

14 Mindsets and Behaviors to Live Your Most Successful LifeWe all have different definitions of what a successful life looks like. But there are specific ways of thinking and acting that lead to a more successful life.
So why do people not make these changes if that means a more successful life is in store?
It really comes down to one thing…a resistance to change. Sadly we have all developed patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving that even though they may not be good for us…we are reluctant to change.
In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rand Selig joins us again to dig deeper into the changes that we all can make to live our most successful life.
From his book “Thriving”, this is a show that if you will follow Rand’s guidance will lead you to the place you dreamed of being.
Rand Selig’s book, “Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life” is a complete book into living a truly more successful life.
Thriving! is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to live a successful life on the market today.
The book covers everything from building your character, to improving your relationship with your self to handling aging and death.
The book also covers how to deal with others, how to manage ourselves and others. Finding purpose and meaning and so much more!
If you are ready to live a thriving successful life, then you need a copy of Thriving!

The Art and Science of 1:1 MeetingsThat Build Productivity and SuccessHow many times have you heard, “we have too many meetings”? How much thought have you given to that statement?
Let me ask you this if the meetings were both personally and professionally meaningful to you, and they were productive would you say the same thing? Probably not.
Then there is the 1:1 meeting. Sadly, when we think about those meetings since they happen typically so infrequently, we often dread them. Because when we are asked to come into the office for a 1:1 it is not usually good news.
What if we changed all that? What if we did more frequent 1:1s that actually were planned. That could be fulfilling, life changing, business changing, and would improve both the employee and the employer?
Well, that is exactly what we are going to dig into on this episode of A New Direction with Organizational Psychologist and Meeting Expert Dr. Steven Rogelberg and his latest book “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings”.
Steven Rogelberg’s book, “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings” is by far one of the best books on how to have successful 1:1 meetings.
This book is for mangers and their direct reports, owners and their employees, C-suite professionals and their employees, consultants, coaches, and anyone else who is trying to improve.
The science behind “Glad We Met” is thorough and puts teeth behind many of the thoughts, words, and phrases we use everyday when it comes to creating meetings that have meaning and move the needle when it comes the people we work with.
The book is not a dry read. In fact Steven Rogelberg makes “Glad We Met” and enjoyable read with his wit and humor.
The bonus of this book is that Steven provides questions, assessments, and guides to help you make you 1:1 meetings the best that they can be.
Please note that ALL proceeds from “Glad We Met” go to cancer research in support of Steven’s sister-in-law. I personally believe it is a must read!

There’s a New ROI in Town and It’s Called Return on IndividualsThere is a saying in business that goes “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”.
I would also add, “You can’t manage what you cannot define”.
Are people valuable? Are not your employees people?
And yet the fact is we manage people, but what is their measurement?
What number do you put on an employee that determines if they are valuable or not valuable?
But can you run your business without employees? What’s the cost of losing an employee? What’s the cost of a great employee to your business?
There is much to be said that “engaged” employees create more profit…but how do we define “engaged” employees?
Then it has been said that “happy” employees are more productive, but this too begs the question…how do we define a “happy” employee?
If we want to measure employee “happiness” or “engagement” we must do it is such away that the average person off the street can come into any office and say, “ah, that’s a happy employee” or “that’s an engaged employee.
So, it still begs the question…what is the ROI of your employees?
Clearly there is a lot of work to do, and there are some answers we need to try to define.
In this episode of A New Direction Business Valuation Expert and Corporate Financial Executive Dave Bookbinder joins us to take us on a journey of the many experts he has interviewed to help us find the elusive ROI…and help us define these elusive yet important terms.
Return On Individuals
Dave Bookbinder’s book, “The NEW ROI: Return on Individuals: Going Behind the Numbers” is a book of interviews that Dave conducted on his show entitled “Behind the Numbers”.
The book is an eclectic culmination of different perspectives of quantifying the importance of human capital.
The fact is we all know the people in our business are fundamental to success, but how do we go about measuring that in a way that is clear, standardized and makes sense.
Further how do go about defining operationally terms like “engagement” and “happy” when it comes to employees.
The book really has some strong key themes, such as the importance of culture and it’s effect on employees, the impact of leadership on employees, the employee environment, and philosophies from business owners on how to get the most of employees and keep them.
All in all, The New ROI is a very solid book that understands the importance of employee contribution but opens of the door to a ton of questions of how to define it and measure it.
And it is having those thoughts and discussions that make the book very provoking.
The New ROI is a starting point and catalyst for change. Great read!

There is such an allure of owning your own business, being in control of your destiny, and knowing it is yours has quite the appeal.
And while most all of us have had dreams of being an entrepreneur, most of us will not do it.
Why? Because to be a successful entrepreneur requires a change in mindset. And not just one, but many mindsets.
First, you have to be willing to have the mindset of being a risk taker, and then you need to take action on.
You also need to have a different attitude, have a different money mindset, changing your mindset of leadership, building a presence and more.
And in this episode of A New Direction Dr. Charlene Walters joins us to talk about her latest book, “Launch Your Entrepreneur”.
If you have thought about becoming an entrepreneur and have wondered what it will take to be successful, then you will want to join us right here!
Charlene Walter’s Book, “Launch Your Inner Entrepreneur” is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to become a successful entrepreneur.
The book is based on 10 mindsets that every aspiring entrepreneur must have. And starts with the first mindset of “Taking Action”.
The book moves us through specifics such as dealing with your own financial mindset, personal branding, social media, and so much more.
Dr. Walters digs deep into issues that every entrepreneur faces such as imposter syndrome, being in competition, the struggle with selling, grit, resiliency, self-sabotage and a number of psychological and emotional issues.
As you can tell nearly everything is on the table to discuss in Launch Your Inner Entrepreneur.
And do not let the subtitle fool you…this book is literally for everyone!

Business Kung Fu – 5 Elements that Will Change Your BusinessWhen you think about business and entrepreneurial success and what it takes to get there, the principles of the fighting style Kung Fu probably do not come to mind.But if you think about it a bit more deeply when you consider it what it takes to become proficient in a fighting style like Kung Fu, your business often will have a similar path.You start off by doing the things you don’t necessarily enjoy doing. You grind out tirelessly having to put in the work. Most of the time the work you put in is preparation for your future.The fact is in the beginning of your business that you are in you are not ready for the fight. In the beginning is the training so you can learn how to fight and take on your opponent.In this episode of A New Direction best-selling author, award winning entrepreneur, and speaker Craig Cooke joins us to talk through some of the elements of his latest book “Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy | Ancient Truth”Craig Cooke’s book: “Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy, Ancient Truth, Your Success” is a fascinating read.
Craig Cooke takes his experience in martial arts and makes a clear connection between Kung Fu and Business.
The biggest connection is that like learning Kung Fu when you start a business you are going to be doing things that you don’t want to do. And you will spend hours doing it.
One of the biggest eye opening parts of Business Kung Fu is how Craig takes the classic Chinese 5 Element Theory and relates it to the 5 fundamental elements of business and entrepreneurship.
Those being, Passion, Discipline, Expertise, Confidence and Faith and then back to Passion again.
What is so interesting about these 5 elements and how they lead to one another they can either spiral you up or they can spiral you down when you don’t have these elements.The book is a very fast read, but the mindset lessons are powerful and are needed in today’s fast paced business world.
Also, look out for Preparing to Fight. Like in Kung Fu, you have to train to be in a fight, and the truth is you have to prepare to be in a fight in business as well.
Great read, I highly recommend it!Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction:

How Will You Become Invaluable?What is your worth? Do you know your true value? How are you measuring it? Is it money? A title? Stuff? Does it go deeper? Are you invaluable?
And what is your purpose? Do you know what it is? How about your values? Can you list them off? Would those that know you agree? Again, finding your purpose and knowing your core values, contributes to becoming invaluable.
The fact of the matter is these questions are so important. Do others find you “Invaluable”…or could they live without you?
Let’s get “Invaluable”! Let’s make such a positive impact on the world that the world can’t live without us. Such an impact that our business cannot live without us. Such an impact that the community can’t live without you.
How? Well, in this episode of A New Direction best-selling author Steven J. Bowen and Dr. Terry Lyles give us the 9 Attributes that when followed will make you invaluable and create a life of fulfillment and meaning and make you the leader people desire.
Steven J. Bowen and Dr. Terry Lyles’ book, “Becoming Invaluable: Develop the Willitude to Navigotiate Success” is a must read for everyone.
If you have ever questioned your self-worth, if you have ever thought that there is more to life than where you are right now, Becoming Invaluable will be “Invaluable”.
The book asks starts with a basic question: “what do you think is the highest calling in life you can have?” Then as the bedrock to answering that question moves us into knowing our purpose and values.
From there the authors help us understand that by working on 9 attributes we can develop ourselves to Becoming Invaluable.
Those 9 Attributes are:
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Attitude
- Health
- Strength
- A set of values to guide you in the right direction.
- A purpose in life.
- A sense of willitude.
- The ability to navigotiate
And if you are not sure what “Willitude” and “Navigotiate” are they are keys to you Becoming Invaluable.
This is great book, one that I will keep on the shelf and remind myself that my self-worth is not in question because I do have value and I am constantly striving to becoming invaluable.

What Can You Control and Influence in an Ever Changing WorldThe fact is we live in a world that is ever changing. If you think that somehow you can just disappear and avoid and hope that you will be able to survive it you would be mistaken. So how do we cope?Knowing what you can control and what you can influence becomes paramount if you are going to thrive in today's volatile uncertain world.So what can you control and influence your world? And what must you accept...for now? Are there skills and techniques you can develop? The answer is yes! yes! yes!Then finally there is the issue of purpose. It is more than just your "why". What have you been created to be? Not simply do, but be that will fulfill you and make a positive impact on the world.In this episode of A New Direction, best selling author Dan Moore joins us to talk and train us on finding our purpose as we learn what we can control, influence and accept (for now).Dan Moore's book Control Influence Accept (for now) CIA(fn) is fabulously written book. It takes us through the different aspects of understanding what we can control, what we can influence, and what we need to accept (for now).CIA (fn) starts by helping us understand our own self-awareness or lack thereof. If we are going to thrive in an every changing world we need to know ourselves so we know what we can control, influence, or accept.Then he easily moves into covering issues of mental and emotional flexibility, resilience, constructive self-talk, values and purpose.Each chapter in CIA (fn) builds upon the last chapter. What is more at the end of each chapter Dan Moore gives us practical ways to be able to improve on each of these areas.A great book and one that you will enjoy reading.Please thank the sponsors of A New Direction Epic Physical Therapy.

Do You Inspire Your Buyers?We are all in sales. We are all being sold to. What makes you want to buy? What are the factors that go into the sales process that influence you? What are the things that stop you from your purchase?You may have sat through a presentation only to wonder, "well where do we go from here"? It all pretty uninspiring, isn't it?If you are in sales, B2B or B2C that fact is there is one thing that you need, and that is you need to "inspire your buyers". What does that mean? Do you as know your buyers' pain? How clearly can you paint the picture of their problem, and what the solution will do to relieve it?In this episode of A New Direction President of InspireYourBuyers.com Bruce Scheer uses the "Go to Market Narrative Development" that he has used with industry leaders like, IBM, Microsoft, HP Google and many others.Bruce Scheer's book, "Inspire Your Buyers: Go to Market with a Story that Sizzles". Is a quick, power packed, practical, step by step guide to helping you carve out a narrative that causes buyers to want to buy from you.Bruce calls it the "Go To Market Narrative". And when you see it all laid out it just makes so much sense. The problem for you and I, we don't ask the right questions and are coming up with the wrong answers.Bruce wants you and I to dig deeper. And deeper we must go. If we are truly going to create a narrative in our marketing and sales presentations, then we need to truly understand our buyer's pain. Problem one...are we truly identifying their real pain.And that leads to problem two: too often we make ourselves the hero with our solution, when we should be digging into the buyers' pain so deeply, they feel it, and then imagine a world without that pain.By the time to you get to the end of the book "Inspire Your Buyers" has you ready and aligned for success. Again, it's a quick read, but with a powerful and successful message.Please Thank our sponsors for financially supporting A New Direction:From everyday aches and pains to elite athletes EPIC Physical Therapy has the latest cutting edge equipment and the certified staff with cutting edge treatments to help you get back to doing the very things you desire to do.They are my physical therapists and I highly recommend them!

Put the "I" in Team...Positive InfluenceMost all of us have heard the saying there is no "I" in team. Well, the reality is there is no "we" either.But maybe if we saw the "I" as "Influence" we may have a different perspective. Because we all have influence, and since you are part of a team members who also are "influencers", then perhaps there is an "I" in team after all.The fact, before we were born, we have influenced others. But for many of us we don't think about the influential impact we do have on others.What is more often do not know what we can do to enhance our influence and create a more successful environment for others through our influence.In this episode of A New Direction Brian Smith Ph.D. walks us through his latest book "Positive Influence: Be the "I" in Team" to help us use our influence to positively impact others. It will be a growth moment for all of us!Dr. Brian Smith's Book, "Positive Influence: Be the I in Team" is a practical read that you can start acting on right now.This book opens us up to the fact that we are all influencers. And we have a responsibility to that fact we are influencing at all times.Further, the book explores the traits that it takes to be a positive influencer, as well as the pitfalls that can inhibit or hurt our influence.We all need to wake up to the fact that what we do and say matters. But we also need to wake up to the idea that how we respond to whatever is said or done to us as an influencer equally matters.We need to be aware of not only what we say, or write, but how we present ourselves in everyday life.We need to be better communicators, better listeners, and be more aware of how our audience is responding to us and our message.The bottom line as an influencer is this: It's not about leading followers but influencing others.We need to put on humility, be ready to take the "high road", which is not the most popular position to be in and put others ahead of ourselves.For it is then, and only then will we be at our best to be a Positive Influence the world around us.Please like the social media pages and say thank you to our sponsors of A New Direction.EPIC Physical Therapy, they have all the latest equipment, tools, and technology, but what makes EPIC…well…EPIC is their certified staff.They really do understand that no two injuries or people are exactly the same so they will customize a treatment plan specifically for you.So if you want EPIC relief, EPIC recovery, and EPIC results whether you are recovering from surgery or overcoming an athletic injury or just want to be a better version of you please go to www.EPICpt.comLinda Craft Team, Realtors for more than 38 years they have remained at the top of the real estate market.

Greet to Create Human Contact2. Ask to Discover the Unknown3. Compliment to Affect People's Sense of Self4. Disclose to Deepen Relationships5. Encourage to Give Support6. Listen to Transcend DifferencesThese 6 behavioral changes in communication have been researched and demonstrated that when followed through on by leaders they change their people and their organization.Julien and Alex's book, "Positive Communication for Leaders: Proven Strategies for Inspiring Unity and Effecting Change" is more than a communication book it is a practical psychology book that enables to take action to start changing your organization.This book is not only great for business, but the behavioral principles apply to marriage, family, personal and professional relationships. It also deals with having difficult conversations.This book quite frankly impacted me so much that I started practicing the strategies right away.

The Ultimate Guide to Power and InfluenceThere is no doubt that successful people have power and influence. If you want to be more successful, then power and influence need to be part of the equation.True, in the hands of the wrong people those to things can be dangerous, but in the hands of the right people can make the world a better place for everyone.And on this episode of A New Direction bestselling author and founder of the Dilenschneider Group, Robert L. Dilenschneider joins me to talk to us about how to make you and the people around you more successful by developing your power and influence.Robert Dilenschneider's book, "The Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence: Everything You Need to Know" is a practical guide to increasing your success and helping you make a bigger and better impact in the world.Chapter 1 of the Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence starts with a question we are all often asked, but never answer accurately..."Who are you?"So often we answer the question with what we do, or the roles we play. But is that who we are really? The answer is "no". The real answer to who we are is what do we stand for and what are our values.The fact is if we do not truly "know thyself", how can we expect to be successful. The answer is we cannot.Robert then dives into the areas of how to do better networking, making deeper connections, why helping others without an expectation of return or thank you is powerful...and so much more!The Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence is practical and straight forward.

Make Sure When It Comes to Your Business the Price is RightIf there is one thing that can keep your business from success is price. Set the price too high and you price yourself out of the market. Set your price too low and you will not make enough profit.And what if you are just starting a business. How do you get your pricing right? What are the top considerations to consider?What about the political and economic climate? How might those changes affect your pricing strategy?It is these questions and more that we will get an answer for on this episode of A New Direction. The Price Whisper Per Sjofors joins us again to talk about the practical issues of pricing for your those of you in the retail and service industry.Per Sjofors book The Price Whisperer: A Holistic Approach to Pricing Power is the most comprehensive book you will find on how to get to the right price.The book gives both an academic background of pricing, but also the necessary practical guidance how you can arrive at the right price for your business.Sadly as business owners, founders, entrepreneurs, CEO's and other C-suite professionals who work with pricing, they are truly guessing.And the problem with guessing is that you never really know how much money you are leaving on the table, or if your product or service is overpriced.Per, really supplies the tools to help any business in any industry, both B2B or B2C find the price that will give them to where they want to be.Don't be lazy, because ultimately there is work involved on your part, but when you truly know all the factors of pricing...the price is right for your business.Please reach out and thank the financial sponsors of A New Direction:EPIC Physical Therapy – from everyday aches and pains, to better nutrition, to high performance professional athletes.EPIC PT highly experienced staff coupled with the latest cutting edge technology can help you get to the place you want to be.When you first walk in to EPIC Physical Therapy it will immediately become apparent that you are in for a change of you.

It's Time to Live in Daily AwarenessFriends lets be honest with each other. We truly live in a VUCA world. Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous world.You don't have to read too far in your newspaper, or watch the news casts to see that our world is not what most of us grew up in.This raises the question for all of us: What are we doing to make sure we are ready for the volatility that inevitably will meet us? Do you have a plan when you drive? Do you have a plan when a natural disaster strikes? Or do you just hope that everything will be okay?That's not a plan. And it is not preparedness. The fact is the vast majority of us have no awareness. And when it comes to situational awareness...we have even less.On this episode of A New Direction 13 year veteran in the 1st SFOD-D(Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta) and 22 Years in Special Force Units and the Creator of Basic Dude Stuff Pat McNamara joins us to talk about his book Sentinel.The fact is our awareness is at an all-time low. We drive to work mindlessly. We assume that no one has any reason to bother us. And our awareness is numb. And because our awareness muscle is weak...we become vulnerable.Pat Mac's book "Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail" should be required reading for every human being on the planet.This book speaks to everyday practical things that you can do to build your own self and situational awareness.Whether you are going to the office, the grocery store, taking care of your vehicle, or taking care of your body. This book addresses every area.And for those of you who are looking to improve your self-awareness when it comes to firearms, Pat Mac addresses that too.Sentinel is a book for all people for all time. If you want to improve yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually then get yourself a copy of Sentinel.It's not about paranoia, it's about being prepared. And that takes awareness!Please reach out and thank the financial sponsors of A New Direction:EPIC Physical Therapy – from everyday aches and pains, to better nutrition, to high performance professional athletes.EPIC PT's highly experienced staff coupled with the latest cutting edge technology can help you get to the place you want to be.When you first walk in to EPIC Physical Therapy it will immediately become apparent that you are going to experience physical therapy like none other.There will be a change, and the change will be you.

SPECIAL MISSION:Leadership Principles from the War in IsraelMajor General (ret) John GronskiHaving spent a few days in Israel during the Hamas/Israel conflict I had a different and unique experience. The news media, as typical does not tell the whole story, or they focus on only on a particular aspect of the war and only look at what they believe is important eliminating extremely important details.And often we want to know things like: How do you lead when confront by an enemy who is focused on terror? What does a leader do? How do you not only lead others but lead yourself? And what principles can you and I take away from leadership in this type of a conflict that we can apply to our lives.In this special episode of A New Direction, we bring back Major General (Ret) John Gronski who spent time in the middle east during the Iraq war under trying circumstances.The General and I spend time talking about how to deal with an enemy that is bent on your destruction. What kind of leader do you need to be in the face of a violent and chaotic enemy, and more.General Gronski's book entitled "Iron Sharpened Leadership: Transforming Hard-Fought Lessons Into Action" is in my opinion one of the most complete books on leadership you will ever read.Throughout the book General Gronski gives you action steps in each chapter that you can take from the concepts and apply it to your life right now.Unlike most leadership books I have read, General Gronski dives into the importance of the spiritual self when it comes to leadership.And rather than dance around the issue he makes it abundantly clear that the spiritual you needs to be in training the like the physical, mental, and emotional you.The book is available in Audible so there are no excuses to listen to or read the book.

Why Your Business Needs a Chief of StaffInteresting isn't it that U.S. Presidents have a Chief of Staff (COS)? If you are like most people we take the title for granted and really do not think about what they do. Is it really a necessary position? The short answer is...Yes!Then why don't businesses have a Chief of Staff? Well, in fact,, some do. But many of not most do not. Probably because they fully do not understand what the Chief of Staff role really is.For other people they think if they are the CEO, the Owner, the founder, or have the letter "C" in their title that they are the Chief of Staff. And in some cases they may take on some of the roles and responsibilities, but in reality the Chief of Staff takes the pressure off the CEO.So what is the Chief of Staff really? In this episode of A New Direction former Chief of Staff, Executive Coach, and Best Selling Author Emily Sander joins us to help us understand what is the Chief of Staff, and what it takes to become one.Emily Sander's book "An Insider’s Perspective on the Chief of Staff: Why You Need One and How to Be a Great One" may be a short read, but every page is filled with everything you need to know about why you need to have a chief of staff and how to be great at it.With Emily Sander's experience as a former chief of staff she walks us through why this role unlike any other c-suite position can make any business more efficient and ultimately more profitable.As she helps us understand what a chief of staff can do for a business and the CEO she helps us understand the many roles that they take on and how they must conduct themselves in order to be successful in the role.The chief of staff role requires that she or he be able to communicate effectively at the highest and lowest levels. They have to be able to neutral, but at the same time be effective.Chief of Staff is a phenomenal and insightful book for both the CEO and for those considering if the chief of staff role is right for them.A New Direction listeners can learn more by going to www.nextlevel.coach or you can reach Emily directly by going to emily@nextlevel.coachPlease say Thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!EPIC Physical Therapy is are newest sponsor, and when it comes to physical therapy they are the premier therapists and have a premier facility.Whether you have that nagging injury from gardening, just want to be in better shape, or you are an elite athlete that needs to get back to your sport.EPIC Physical Therapy will help you meet your goals.

The Art and Science of Building Relationships that Lead to Success in Life and BusinessWhat do B2B and B2C have in common? People are the ones who make the decisions. Often there is an erroneous belief that competence, a good product, and professionalism is the most important aspects of business.However, the research suggests something different. And that is that relationships are what drive sales and success. Not just in business, but in life as well.But developing great relationships that will make a difference in our life and business requires that we develop relationship skills. What are the most important relationship skills to develop.Well, in this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, Award Winning Attorney, Forbes Business Development Thought Leader and Coach, Joe Brocato joins us to talk about how you can take our relationships to the next level with his latest book..."Hit It Off".Joe Brocato's Book, "Hit It Off: 21 Rules for Mastering the Art and Science of Relationships In Life and Business" is what I would call an essential read for every person in any stage of life or business.The 21 Rules are all things you may have heard before. The difference in this book is that Joe provides the science behind why they work.What is more Joe introduces ways to apply these 21 rules, and the "train wrecks" can happen when these rules get derailed.Another powerful set of tools that Joe provides in "Hit It Off" is that at the end of the book he has exercise to help you strengthen these 21 relationships rules.And although the rules may not be new, we need to be more intentional and conscious how we use them. Because we all know we tend to go on automatic pilot when it comes to building new relationships.If we would be more conscious of our behavior and our words, we would develop deeper and better relationships that will create greater success for ourselves in life and business.Please Thank the sponsors of A New Direction. It is their financial gifts that keep us on the air and keep us going! And we could not be more grateful.EPIC Physical Therapy.

A Pathway to Dealing with Mistakes that Will Lead to SuccessBe honest. How does your business deal with mistakes? Do you punish people for making mistakes? Do you take them behind the verbal woodshed and berate them for their error?If you are like most businesses, there is no room for mistakes. You calculate mistakes as costly. They eat your profits. They cannot be tolerated. And the only corrective measure is to punish them.There is a better and more productive way. And that is embracing mistakes. Because mistakes can be the greatest gift you have to finding a new and better solution, create more productivity, more honesty, and ultimately more profitability.How you ask? Well on this episode of A New Direction Consultant and Author Mark Graban takes us through how mistakes can be your greatest gift toward success.Mark Graban takes on a journey through his book "The Mistakes that Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation".The book is a culmination of his many interviews with leaders at different levels and how they handled the mistakes of others as well as their own in a way that was productive and led to more successful outcomes.The book has several themes: First, punishing mistakes does not work. And yet for some reason we continue to do it.Second, creating a culture of "psychological safety" gives people the freedom to make mistakes. This allows the company to correct them.Third, making mistakes and learning from them will lead to more success, then avoiding them, hiding them, or punishing them.The book is backed by a myriad of examples from large and small companies. It is also backed by a plethora of research from some of the leading researchers on the subject.This can be a business changing book, and even a life changing book if people are willing to be open and have a growth mindset. Because mistakes when handled correctly can lead to much greater success for any industry or person.Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!EPIC Physical Therapy – from nutrition and conditioning, to everyday aches and pains, to professional athletes.

From Worrier to Warrior We all face challenges in life. Some are personal and some are professional. Whether you are facing a divorce, death of a loved one, a financial crisis, or your business is flailing and failing. Life can confront us with challenges.
How do you handle challenges? Are you a nuclear reactor that explodes and blows up everyone around you? Or perhaps you ignore it and hope it goes away? Or do you have another plan?
In this episode of A New Direction Serial Entrepreneur and Coach Martin Salama joins to help us move from Worrier to Warrior.
Martin will share with us his 7 step process to uncover the Warrior within each of us and L.I.F.E. (Live Incredibly Full Everyday)
Martin Salama's book, "Worrier To Warrior: 7 Steps to UNCOVER The Warrior Within and Live Incredibly Full Everyday" is a fun, practical, insightful book that will help you become the person you were meant to be.
Worrier to Warrior starts with taking a deep dive into you. The fact is we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. And sometimes we don't want to look at ourselves because we don't want to deal with our own stuff.
And there are times we don't want to look at ourselves because it also means looking at our past. Dealing with our past hurts, traumas, and pain. But as Martin demonstrates is when we look at our past that we can reveal our warrior future.
The book is easy to read. It is filled with acronyms that make the learning process easy. The practical tips are not difficult in concept, but as Martin points out they are going to be challenging fo you to carry out. It will take work.
Are you ready to move from "Worrier to Warrior"? Are you ready to live a life of positivity and abundance rather than lack? Then this book is for you!

How to Communicate with People That Don't Agree with YOU or Who Don't Think Like YOU Whether in business or your personal life, it doesn't take long to realize you are going to come in contact with people who don't think like you do. And when that happens issues are most likely will occur.
The fact of the matter is none of us think exactly the same. And sometimes the differences in our thinking can cause conflict and sometimes even rebellion.
The question then becomes: Is there a way to have different thinking and still be able to communicate effectively without losing productivity or worse yet lose the relationship.
On this episode of A New Direction award winning leadership coach Denise Blanc returns to discuss how communicate effectively and improve your emotional intelligence that leads to greater leadership and stronger relationships.
Denise Blanc's book "Riverlogic: Tools to Transform Resistance and Create Flow in all of our Relationships" is an excellent resource on how we can communicate more effectively in our business and personal relationships.
Using the analogy of the river rapids she helps us navigate the tricky waters of trying to communicate in situations where both parties are not on the same page, but also may be completely at odds with one another. RiverLogic takes us through understanding ourselves. Literally getting outside of ourselves, changing our binary mindset, sit in the gray areas, and moving to understanding of others as we continue to understand ourselves.
The tips and techniques that Denise Blanc employs are well researched and will not only improve your ability to communicate, but also help make your relationships more productive and successful over the long term.
Denise has a special offer for those who would like to sample the book for free themselves. Just Click on this Link: riverlogictools.com/book-excerpts

Feeling Stuck Maybe It's Time to Think Like an Archeologist and Jump Start Your Career What do an archeologist and finding your career have in common? Turns out quite a bit. Like an archaeologist you are going to have to have a vision for your career.
You are going to have to create your own map. You are going to have to dig and find artifacts (like your strengths, interests, gifts, and abilities) that you can make sense of what you have and where you may be going.
You have to have a sense of faith of believing that there is something there that no one else can see. And then one shovel at time you will have to discover a career that will bring you greater fulfillment.
In this episode of A New Direction, career expert and author Chris Fontanella joins us to talk about how you need to be a bit of an archaeologist that can discover the career you have been looking for that you may not see yet.
Chris Fontanella's book "Jump-Start Your Career: Ten Tips to Get You Going" is a quick power packed book for those looking to do something about their career.
The book starts by introducing us to Archeologist Dr. Kent Weeks who worked his way up the ladder and took a risk on a piece of land in Egypt that no one was interested in only to discover what is believed to be the tomb of Ramses II.
Chris Fontanella then uses the analogy of finding your career to that of an archaeology discovery. The fact is it is going to take some digging to find your calling. And that is the point of the book.
Finding your calling or purpose will require you to make a map, have ambition, overcome obstacles, deal with the mundane, have perseverance as well as other tips.
It is an excellent read for anyone who is starting their career, or is stuck looking for their next career. I highly recommend Jump-Start Your Career, make sure you get yourself a copy or give one to a friend who is looking.

How is Leadership When You are in a Crisis? At some point or another ever business will find themselves in a crisis. Whether that is from inside the organization, such as a leadership change or mismanagement. Other times it can be a surprise, where all of a sudden an outside circumstance such as COVID puts pressure on the business to make changes to survive.
And sometimes mergers can happen that shift the culture so dramatically that create confusion, uncertainty and volatility.
What is the role of leadership. What type of leader do you need to be when faced with these challenges?
In this episode of A New Direction Glenn Parker returns with his most recent co-authored book, Positive Influence; Leadership in a Time of Crisis. Based on his research of different leaders from a variety of industries, you will get insights into what the best leaders did, and some of the miscalculations they made.
Glenn Parkers latest book is entitled, "Positive Influence: Leadership in a Time of Crisis" is a book that interviewed 50 different businesses from a variety of industries to discover how leaders handled the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The book utilizes the four leadership types previously established in his previous book, "The Positive Influence Leader: Helping People Become Their Best Self", which we also did on a previous episode of A New Direction (You can listen here).
The four leadership styles, The Supportive Positive Influence Leader, The Teacher Positive Influence Leader, The Motivator Positive Influence Leader, and The Role Model Positive Influence Leader all have strengths during a crisis.
What Glenn has found in his reasearch when it comes to leadership, is that largerly most people in leadership are ill prepared for crisis. Leadership had to become agile, learn how to communicate and communicate clearly, and with different modalities.
Leadership also had to empower people, because the decision making needed to be done on the fly. The typical beauracracy and political rhetoric were thrown away for decisions to be made those who were in the middle of the crisis.
While the events may change the fact is that anyone in leadership can learn the applications in this book. And while you may have a tendency toward one or two styles of leadership, the fact is you need to be adaptable to the situation.
Glenn has offered if you want to start working on your crisis leadership he will tell you how to start now before the crisis starts by emailing him personally at glenn@thepositiveinfluenceleader.com

The Family Flywheel: The Secret Business Principles Successful Families Use to Create Sustained Wealth and Happiness I have read and heard it said, "there are no business problems, there are only personal problems that infiltrate your business." Stop and think about it for a moment. As I have come to learn from personal experience and through coaching many clients..."if your life's a mess you limit your success."
Can you apply business principles to your life and family and visa versa? The answer is "yes". Consider that every business needs to have structure, culture, and strategy to be successful. Your family does too. If any one of those things is not in order you have a poor business model and will probably not be successful.
In this episode of A New Direction Aaron Shelly joins us to help you live a life and create a family that will not only make you successful with your family, but more successful in you business life.
Aaron Shelley's book, "The Family Flywheel: The Secret Business Principles Successful Families Use to Create Sustained Wealth and Happiness" is an insightful look at how the family structure, strategy, and culture resemble a business.
The Family Flywheel makes a strong case that while we think we can compartmentalize our family life from our business life, the fact is we truly cannot. If our family life is dysfunctional than we are probably not going to be successful as we could be.
Aaron Shelley points out extensively that there are many different types of family structures from being single with or without children to being married and many types in between.
And in each case their can be success, but there you are going to have to use your resources in the right way to be successful. The biggest problem that most people face is that they do have resources, but many times they do not use them wisely or they not sure exactly how to use them.
The Family Flywheel is going to challenge you. It is going to cause you to think and rethink your core values, your strategy, structure, and culture, and how you are either taking advantage of the resources you have or not.

4 Types of Leaders and Becoming a Positive Influence Leader Let's be honest. Success does not happen in isolation. In fact, if we look back there has been someone or many people that have had a positive influence on where you are today.
It could have been a parent, teacher, coach, consultant, manager, supervisor, or perhaps a rale model you have never met that you took on some qualities and intertwined them with your own personality to help get you where you are today.
Those people are Positive Influence Leaders. And in this episode of A New Direction we discover what types of positive leaders have made the most influence on us and what kind of positive influence leader you may be. Co-author Glenn Parker joins us and breaks down his latest book "Positive Influence: The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self".
The book "Positive Influence : The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self" is incredibly powerful about this book, not only will this book describe the 4 different leaders:
The Supportive Positive Leader, The Teacher, The Motivator, and The Role Model, but there is also an assessment in the book to help you identify which type you are most dominant in. Join Us for Positively Influential show!
Positive Influence is a phenomenal insightful read. It not only describes the 4 types of leader styles, and then it helps us identify which one or two or three types we may have and what we need to do to become all balanced in all for to become a Positive Influence.
The fact is we all have some natural tendency for how we demonstrate ourselves to others as a leader.
Perhaps you lead as a Positive Influence Supportive Leader who is ready with a helping hand.
Or Maybe your are more of a Positive Influence Teacher Leader giving the wise practical insights to help your people move forward..
Perhaps you are the inspiring and motivating Positive Influence Motivational Leader helping them find their "true north" and their "core purpose".
Then again, you could be the Role Model Positive Influence Type where your example is one that others gravitate to.
As Glenn points out in this episode the goal is to develop all 4 of these areas in your life to become the true Positive Influence Leader that people are looking for and they ultimately need.

The Fastest Way to Profitability is Pricing Pricing your product or service can be a challenge. Often times businesses will spend tremendous amounts of money trying to price right only to go with a gut feeling about the right price.
What is more most of the research on right pricing focuses on learning from their current customers and fails to address the question or the answer as to why prospective customers are not buying.
Sure, there are pricing formulas that are espoused in business schools when it comes to pricing, but sadly most of the textbook formulas are theoretical more than practical as the vast majority of the authors have never actually run or owned a business.
In this episode of A New Direction one of the top 50 global thought leaders and influencers on sales and Forbes Business Council Thought Leader Per Sjofors a.k.a. the Price Whisperer joins us to keep us from leaving money on the table because of pricing and at the same time keep customers from leaving the table all together.
Per's book, "The Price Whisperer: A Holistic Approach to Pricing Power" is one of the most comprehensive books on pricing that I have read to date. The Price Whisperer makes a strong case that price is the fastest way to profitability. But to get there is going to take some work and effort.
The Price Whisperer also clues us in that there are behavioral economics that come into play when it comes to pricing. The fact is that all purchasing decisions whether B2B or B2C are actually emotional. We want to believe as buyers that we make logical purchases, but the fact is our brain and emotions dictate the triggers that cause us to buy.
Why is this so important? Because when you understand how the buyer buys and you understand the value proposition of your product or service then pricig becomes the fastest way to profitability. And yet we often think of buyers as acting rationally which is not supported by the research Per offers in his book.
So then how do we arrive at the right price? Per takes us through a variety of research scenarios whether you are B2B or B2C that you can apply to help you find the right price for you product or service. And if you are a small business...listen in to the show, because The Price Whisperer helps you do low cost research that will help you get there.

Raising Your Conflict-IQ and Making a Bigger Impact on Your Business. Conflict is all around us. You don't have to look for it, because it will find you. And successful leaders today are going to have to skills to deal with it. If you don't have very good skills in conflict your company will not achieve success, lose productivity and instead it will implode because of it.
We have all heard of IQ, also known as the intelligence quotient. Some of you may have heard of the more psychologically related acronym EQ or Emotional Quotient, but now get ready for Conflict-IQ(tm).
In this episode of A New Direction mediator, professor, and author Yvette Durazo joins to help us understand how we can develop the skills and raise our Conflict-IQ! This show is powerful. If you are a conflict avoider it is time to develop the skills and raise your conflict-IQ.
Yvette Durazo's book Conflict Intelligence Quotient - Conflict-IQ (R) : The Missing Piece to Turbocharge Conscious Leaders’ and Organizations’ Emotional Intelligence is a powerful book that will take you into the depths of understanding how to deal with conflict and raise your conflict-IQ. The book challenges the reader to understand that conflict is everywhere, and in order to be a great leader you must be skilled in dealing with it. And what we often overlook is that conflict affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The essential element of the Conflict-IQ(tm) system is awareness. And that awareness starts with yourself. What is your relationship with conflict? Are you an avoider? Do you handle it with a heavy hand? Do you ignore it? And how aware are you of the personalities of others? What is their conflict style and personality? What is there backgrounds? What are they bringing into the conflict?
She then proceeds to unravel for leaders the skills and behaviors that leaders need to be great at conflict negotiations. And even discusses how our educational system has failed helping us deal with it. Further, how HR departments are ill-equipped to deal with conflict without punishment.
This is a truly powerful, insightful book. Go to Yvette's website and discover many of her free tools that you can use to raise your Conflict-IQ. Just click on over to Unitive Consulting.

Are You in a Rut in Your Life and Work? Are you going through the motions of life? Have you been checking all the boxes you were told to achieve? Do find it seems so meaningless? Does it seem that what you thought looked like financial freedom and bliss has become a job jail, bound by golden handcuffs?
How's your family life? Or do you even have one? How about your fitness? Finances? How's your future? Is it a blur? And have you lost faith?
If any of this sounds like you, please know you are not alone. Millions of people are living a life of struggle. The pressure mounts, with no end in sight. You need a change. But how do we get there. It's time to get beyond the rut.
And in this episode of A New Direction author, entrepreneur, coach and show host Jerry Dugan walks us through his latest book "Beyond the Rut". Join us right here for some very important life change.
Jerry Dugan's book "Beyond the Rut: Create a Life Worth Living in Your Faith, Family, and Career" is a quick read, but is a straight forward look at what many of us experience..."the rut".
Beyond the Rut dives into what is the rut, and the lies that we tell ourselves that keep us in the rut of life. It exposes the truth about what the rut really is and that the rut is not as deep as we believe.
Beyond the Rut also takes a look at how since we have been children we have been conditioned to be in the rut. And how over time that conditioning has created a number of problems.
Jerry also exposes us to the 5 F's where our rut takes a toll, Faith, Family Fitness, Finances, and our Future. And how when we are in "the rut" we are not as healthy in any of these areas as we need to be.
The book provides a number of positive examples of those who have made the decision to get out of the rut. The mindset that it took to get there and the freedom they feel. Jerry provides a number of ways you can move beyond the rut and move to a life of success.
Enjoy the show!

Sales is a Mindset, And that Mindset Starts with What You Believe About Yourself and the Taking the Right Actions
If you are interested in sales or consider yourself a veteran of the profession, the question of being successful is ever illusive. The fact is you are only as good as your last sale, and no matter how many sales you close yesterday has no guarantees if you will sell anything today or tomorrow.
Sales is not an easy profession. In fact, no other professional will hear the word "no" than the sales professional. So what does it take to be a successful in this profession? What does your mindset need to be in order to meet the demands of the sales profession? How do you get or stay motivated? What should you sell? How does your physical self play a role in your success or failure? What do the best sales professionals know mentally, physically, and emotionally that most people do not?
Well these questions and more are the subject of this episode of A New Direction as Success Sales Expert and Consultant Bryan Charleau joins me to talk about his book "Pitching Sales! A Complete Guide to Becoming A Sales Professional: Outwork, Outperfrom, and Outsell. Join us!
Bryan Charleau's book, "Pitching Sales!: A Complete Guide to Becoming a Sales Professional" is not your typical sales book about "hacks". It is part biography, but is also a book on the mindset and behaviors that are going to be required of you personally to be successful in the professional.
The book starts with a clear statement of saying that all kinds of people can be successful in sales, but it really starts with your own authenticity. You simply have to be you. Anything other than bringing your true self to the sales conversation will be met with failure.
The topics are vast such as "What keeps you from being successful", "How can you can excel", 'Re-motivating yourself" and many more. Dig in and get your copy by clicking right here!

How to Develop Your Brand and Become a Brand Renegade In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, establishing a strong brand has become more crucial than ever before. It serves as the foundation upon which a company's success is built.
Whether you're launching a startup, a small business, or an entrepreneurial venture, understanding the power of branding can be the key to unlocking remarkable achievements.
In this, episode of A New Direction, “The Tattooed Millionaire” Sean Dowdell and I delve into the transformative impact that effective branding can have on a new business and explore essential strategies to help you craft a compelling brand identity.
Sean makes that case for building a brand, “To be a brand renegade, you have to take those standard views of your own business or industry and disrupt them to create a new brand identity. You have to both disrupt your industry and elevate your brand.
Sean also helps us understand the importance of partnerships and mentorship when it comes to building your business and brand. Listen in and tell your friends.
Sean and Thora Dowdell have written Brand Renegades which is not only a phenomenal story of success when it comes to entrepreneurship, but also weaves great practical wisdom that any business can use to build their brand and grow their business, take on partnerships, and utilize mentors.
Upon request from several listeners we spend a great deal of time talking about how to have the right business partner, and avoid the wrong business partner. We also dig into the customer perception and developing your niche and passion.
Brand Renegades is a book that you will want to have on your shelf. It will be a great reference tool and also it will inspire you to know that in your ups and downs of being an entrepreneur you are not alone. You can learn more about them and their business model by going to Club Tattoo.

Building a Team is Not Easy, and It Must Be Intentional If you have ever tried to build a team from the ground up, then you know first hand the difficulties and challenges you can face. And in today's business environment building a team can even be more challenging as more and more teams are some combination of remote and in office a "hybrid" if you will. What are the principles when trying to build a new team?
On this episode of A New Direction Chief Potential Officer of Kevin Eikenberry group, Kevin Eikenberry is listed as one of the Top 30 Leadership Professionals by Global Gurus joins us, as well as co-author Wayne Turmel cofounder of the Remote Leadership Institute. Kevin and Wayne help us understand that there are many components and questions that you should be asking before you build a team.
For example: Have you considered the culture? What is that going to look like for the team? What does bringing on a new team member do to the team? How do you get everyone to buy in? How are you going to execute your plan? What about communication? Collaboration? Cohesion? How is that going to look? There simply is more to the story than just building a team.
Then you may have to ask yourself, what if you have an existing team and you want to alter the culture? Maybe you have new leadership? Maybe it's a merger? Now what do you do? What questions should you be asking? What are the roles of leadership? What role does everyone else play in creating this new culture?
Clearly attempting to create a new team is not going to be easy in a hybrid world. But Kevin and Wayne will help us sort it out. If you would like to have the questions that Kevin and Wayne ask to help you design your team you can click on over to https://longdistanceteambook.com/questions A Book that Can Help Design or Redesign Any Team in Any Industry Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel's book "The Long-Distance Team: Designing Your Team for Everyone's Success" is a guide, and practical tool kit for anyone who wants to build a new team, or having to redesign an existing team.
The questions that the author's ask in each section of the book are thought provoking and really help those in leadership and beyond come to grips with those areas in building a team that are often overlooked and ignored.
The Long Distance Team has been written certainly with the remote/hybrid in mind. But after I read and outlined the book, I have found that the practical principles are so sound and solid, that these questions and suggestions can be applied to any team regardless of remote or in the office.
I really enjoyed this book and have taken to heart the lessons and will be applying them to my current work in redesigning a current team that will be going through a leadership transition.

Using Better Communication to Overcome Conflict in Every Area of Our Life and Business We live in a world of a communication divide. Just turn on or read the news and we read how there is conflict. One side says something they believe in the other side digs in their heels and shout back what they believe in. No matter where we turn what we really here is "they are wrong" and "we are right".
There is very little civility in differences of opinion. Even with those who work in government will resort to "eye rolls" and "call names", and these "adults" can justify their reasons for doing so. And at the end of the day nothing gets solved. We just dig in a little deeper depending on the side you are on.
The business world is not different. CEO's demand their way. Rather than communicating with empathy they simply dictate what will be and how it will be. The employee too makes demands. They see things differently and in retaliation quietly quit, move on, or simply just ghost their jobs.
Conflict is everywhere. Is there a solution? Yes, there is and it comes from the analogy of the river. And on this episode of A New Direction, Mediator, Coach, Professor, Leadership Trainer Denise Blanc gives helps us navigate the dangerous rough waters of conflict through effective communication. From her book "Riverlogic"
Denise Blanc's Book "Riverlogic: Tools to Transform Resistance and Create Flow in all of our Relationships" is an amazing, insightful book that will challenge everyone who is honest enough to look at themselves and realize that they have work to do when it comes to communication.
The book's true first question is really not on the one's we communicate with, but focuses on what the one part of the conversation we can actually control...and that is ourselves.
The truth is who "present" are we in every conversation? Are we really listening? Are we listening beyond what the other person is saying and getting their emotional communications too?
Then comes the questions in conflict. What is our attitude? Is it, win at all costs? Do we feel have to be right? Do we feel if we show vulnerability that somehow we may lose? Or maybe we feel that we are somehow compromising ourselves if we openly listen to the opinions of others without responding?
The fact is our communication in conflict doesn't have to be either or. Or communication in conflict can be simply listen and not respond. Putting our emotional attachment to our arguments aside and simply listen without compromising our values.
Riverlogic is for everyone for sure. But for those in leadership, consultants, coaches, CEO's, salespeople and more. Riverlogic will help your communication skills and be able to reduce conflict and build and strengthen your relationships. Get your copy!

Leave Your Job and Create a Career with Purpose You are at a party or event on a Sunday afternoon. You are enjoying the company around you. It is filled with laughter and enjoyment. Then the party starts to wind down. People are leaving and then it hits you...
You have work on Monday. But the truth is you are dreading Monday. Sure, you are good at your job. The money is good, but you really don't want to go back to that job. Money is the only reason you are going to work, and even the money has lost it's appeal. You hate it there. You cannot find your purpose or your why. Your boss is a tyrant, overbearing, overzealous, non-feeling, uncompassionate, non-caring, individual, who makes your life miserable.
What do you do? Well for many people, they stay in the job. They work, get their money, but live in misery. No hope, life, no purpose. They take their misery home. And as much as they would like to believe they compartmentalize it, the fact is that it affects every relationship you have...including the one you have with yourself.
It's time for a change. And in this episode of A New Direction entrepreneur Zaundra Wimberley faced a similar situation and she found a way to build a business that she dreamed of, one that gave her purpose, one that she is excited to do every moment of her life. She doesn't go to work, she goes to what she enjoys. Shouldn't we all?
Join us right here as Zaundra gives us the story and the practical wisdom on how to transition from the job you dread to building the business of your dreams and fulfill your purpose.
Zaundra's book "From Bossed To Boss: It's Never Too Late To Reclaim Your Dreams And Live In Purpose". The book not only tells Zaundra's journey to discovering her purpose, but she also provides truly applicable, practical insights to help you make that leap as well.
You will learn how to emotionally and psychologically take the steps necessary to move beyond where you are right now to finding the career and purpose you have dreamed of. She will also dig into the personality traits that can inhibit you from achieving the success you hope for. This and many more practical sound advice that you will be able to use to make your career and purpose come to life.

How to Get Real Accountability in Your Teams: Conscious AccountabilityWe all say we want accountability. But the truth is the way that accountability is practiced is more transactional that relational. We often use power and threats to ensure accountability. Hold on. Stop. Think for a second is that really accountability or is that some form of external rewards and punishments for getting people what we want them to do?Now let’s think about this. In your closest relationships, I mean with the people you really trust, don’t you have accountability? Do you have to coerce them to be accountable? Of course not! The fact is that the deeper our connections with each other accountability is part of the relationship. In fact, in our closest relationships don’t we want to be held accountable? We have a desire for our relationships to have trust and with that accountability.Now imagine if you could bring that process into the workplace. Would it not be better if we could connect at a deeper level, build greater trust, remove the psychological pressure and people could were willing to hold themselves accountable to the team or group they belonged to? Well then you are on the road to “Conscious Accountability”! And on this episode of A New Direction, David C. Tate co-author of “Conscious Accountability” helps us understand the CONNECT framework so that you can get greater performance from your team or in any relationshipCo-author David C. Tate Book “Conscious Accountability: Deepen Connections, Elevate Results” is an eye-opening and well researched book on truly how to understand accountability in teams and organizations that will create loyalty, create innovation, and have your people take an “all in” mindset. The book gets it’s backbone through the CONNECT framework or practices.This book is not for the faint of heart. It will take work. It will take intentionality. But mostly it will require you to have greater awareness of what you are doing and awareness of your people. Attached to each practice of the CONNECT framework are the necessary mindsets needed to make each practice work for you and your team.Imagine that you could have a team that desires to hold themselves accountable. This is where this book is going to be a diamond for your business and organization. This book will improve your communication skills, help you to remove the egos from the room, and allow true open feedback that will generate better and clearer ideas.Are you ready for your accountability transformation? It really comes down to rethinking the process. Instead of pointing fingers at who is responsible for the problem, you change that to, who is responsible for the solution. We no longer operate from a punishment paradigm, but a paradigm shift where people are in a psychologically safe place where they are reinforced and want to take responsibility.Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!

Have you ever thought about hiring a coach? Some people wonder why they might hire a coach?
I like to try to help people think of it this way. Every professional athlete has at least one coach. They have a head coach, they have a coordinator coach, they have a position coach, and they have a coach who is personal to help them work on their mental game. The last one is the type of coach I am.
Whether you are a CEO, CFO, VP, Entrepreneur, Business Owner, or Salesperson, we all need a coach to help us see what we cannot. Sometimes we just get stuck in our life and business and we need another perspective. I can help you with that. Other times we are just struggling to now what the next step should be and you need an unbiased and yet unfiltered person to help you navigate those waters. I do that too.
Sometimes life is just challenging and you need to feel like you have a partner that can help you get a better perspective and inspire a better mindset. And I also do that and more. So, if you have not considered a business or life coach before, send me an email and I would be happy to talk to you to see if I am a good fit for you.

Relationships are difficult, but they don’t have to be as difficult as we make them.
It doesn’t matter what type of relationship you are in. Personal relationships, business relationships, they all get complicated from time to time. And for most of us we get confused as to why. What is more we seem to get stuck and we cannot seem to find a way to undo the tangled relationship mess that we are not even sure how we got into in the first place.
As if relationships were not hard enough, then through in the dynamic of men and women and changing social roles, well the already complex subject just became even more complicated. So what is the answer to these complicated and complex relationships? Well, fortunately for us the worlds #1 best selling author on relationships Dr. John Gray (you may recall his book “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus”) joins us on A New Direction to shed some light and some wisdom to help make those complex relationships just a little easier.
Dr Grays book “Beyond Mars and Venus: Relationship Skills for Today’s Complex World” is a true relationship game changer. Dr. Gray will help us understand how we got here, and what we can do to help make those relationships become more solid, more meaningful, and more healthy. His sage advice has applications to our personal and business relationships as well. So get your note pads and pens, buckle up, because we are going “Beyond Mars and Venus“.

How Leaders Keep Their Employees Engaged and Productive
Let’s be honest. We have seen more and more employees simply quit the workplace. Other employees are just doing enough to get a paycheck and disappear otherwise known as the “quiet quitter”. Research has demonstrated clearly that employee quitting costs companies across the U.S. between $450 and $500 Billion annually. What can you do about it as a leader?
In this episode of A New Direction, we talk with award winning author and team expert Dea Irby. Dea, takes us through her 5 faceted system of re-engaging your employees through C.L.A.I.M. As a leader it is going to require you become more intentional when it comes to your employees. But intention is not enough you also need to take action to make your business and team more engaged and more productive.
Let me also say that this show is not just for those who are leaders of employees. This show is also for employees too. Friends listen carefully because you want to find a place of employment that employees these 5 facets. You want to be in a place where you feel “Chosen, Loved, Acknowledged, Invested In, and Made for Greatness.
Dea Irby‘s book, “CLAIM Your People at Work: How Inclusive Leaders Keep Their Employees Engaged and Productive“, is a well researched book. The principles or as Dea names them, “facets” are integrally intwined in so much that they build on each other.

How to Take Any Idea and Make it Successful in 5 Steps
There is no doubt that when it comes to starting a business or just a business idea, there are many challenges. The one we concern ourselves the most is money. However, before you think about money have you considered who will buy your product or service? How do you get people to know about your business before you business even begins? The fact is you need a business strategy to improve your success in the most economic, efficient, and painless way possible.Meet Will Russell founder of Russell Marketing. He has helped generate more than $20 million in revenue for 300+ companies. And he joins us on this episode of A New Direction to give you his 5 step process that will take your business idea from lightbulb moment to profitable business in record time. From his book Launch in 5.Will Russell‘s book, “Launch in 5: Take Your Idea from Lightbulb Moment to Profitable Business in Record Time” is a complete and total blueprint that will help you understand first if you idea should even go to market. Then once you have done all your research, he walks you through customer acquisition. Then How to engage your audience. Followed by how to convert your audience into customers. Then finally how to scale and optimize your business after launch.
The truth is however none of this is going to work if you are not real clear on validating your idea. And this is where spend most of our focus on the show. As Will told me after the show, “validation of your idea is like a GPS, without it your either guessing how your idea will work, or just getting lucky”. The fact is you need to make sure you have done your homework before you launch. It doesn’t take that much time, but it is time well spent. Get Launch in 5 it is truly a game changer.

Taking an Underdog “Challenger Brand” to Greater Success
Everyone loves the underdog. We want to see the team who seemingly have no chance against the giants win. The same is true for business. Perhaps you are a business that is not the industry leader, referred to a “challenger brand”. Do you still have a chance? The answer is absolutely!
Who are “challenger brands”? They don’t have the budget. Challenger brands know that they are not number 1, but know where they stand in the market. Challenger brands know that to be successful they need to create disruption. Challenger brands are resilient and ready to take action.
On this episode of A New Direction Michael Tuggle, Tuggle Creative Inc. and former Co-Executive Creative Director at LOOMIS of Loomis advertising helps us understand how an underdog brand a.k.a. “Challenger Brand” can compete when they differentiate themselves by what they have on the inside…namely their culture.
If you want to be a successful challenger brand it is not going to be about spending more money. It is not going to do what the category or industry leader does. A challenger brand will be more successful when they realize that there is something in their culture that distinguishes is from any other business that they can put to the market. Often times we want to think it is something big that will change the destiny of a challenger brand, but more frequently it is one little thing in the culture that emotionally connects, where people feel good about the challenger brand.
Mike Sullivan and Michael Tuggle‘s book “The Voice of the Underdog: How Challenger Brands Create Distinction By Thinking Culture First” is a well researched and insightful book and toolkit to help underdog “challenger brand” businesses from where they are to achieving high success. The fact is that if your culture is wrong, you will not be able to compete. If your leadership is wrong, you won’t have a culture worth fighting for. The ideas in this book are not for the faint of heart. They will challenge you. They may even make you upset because they will fly in the face of conventional thinking, but their research and track record of success make it clear that if you want to be a challenger brand that makes a disruption in the industry, you are going to have to think differently, be different, and resilient.

Are You in a Financial Peace of Mind?
Let’s be honest…really honest…we all have either been or are currently concerned about money. We are regularly asking ourselves, “how do I get more of it”, or “am I going to have to live on when I get older?” And the truth is when it comes to money we often do not have much financial peace.
Money is one of those issues that affect our everyday lives. It affects the way we feel about ourselves, how we see ourselves, and it often affects our closest relationships…and more often than not negatively. You may have read books, listened to podcasts, regular radio shows, or been face to face with a financial guru to help you try to understand and grow your finances. And while those things have benefit most do not address how our financial peace plays a role.
The fact is we all want financial peace and the freedom that comes with it. We all want to go to bed at night and not have to worry about money. We want to know we can pay the bills, have enough money to handle an emergency, and maybe even some money to enjoy. How do we do that?
It all starts with your relationship with money. When have you asked yourself questions like, “when I think about money, how does it make me feel?”, “What does money mean to me?” Your relationship with money will largely affect how you save, spend, and earn money.
In this episode of A New Direction all the way from Singapore (which why the time is different) Michael Gilmore a.k.a. The Seven Dollar Millionaire helps us dig into our mind and discover how we are relating to money that is creating much of our problems with money. If you are ready for some financial peace and freedom…this show is for you!
Michael Gilmore‘s book, “The Little Book of Zen Money: A Simple Path to Financial Peace of Mind” is not only a practical guide on the how you should address your financial situation but addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of money that affect your financial peace and freedom.
The book has little exercises that if you do them and consider them will help you uncover what your relationship with money is. But beyond the psychological, The Little Book of Zen Money helps you understand money as a tool. We don’t think of money as a tool, but the truth is most of us do not know how to use it appropriately and safely. Like a chainsaw, it is powerful, and can be used for good, but it also can be dangerous. The Little book of Zen Money gives you the user manual on how to use this powerful tool. So if you are ready for some financial peace and freedom in your life…get your copy of The Little Book of Zen Money!

When It Comes to Success in Life and Business…It’s About Your Relationships!
We all have heard the saying, “it’s not what you know, but who you know”. And let’s be honest the relationships we make are critically important to our personally lives, but most assuredly our professional lives. But what do you do when you find it difficult to create new relationships? And what is more how can you create relationships that truly make a difference? True you could join a meetup group, go to a networking event, but typically these events are forced impersonal and loud, and more often than not you can feel very alone. What is one to do?
Well in this episode of A New Direction Nick Gray joins us to talk about how to create “The 2 Hour Cocktail Party“. In this episode Nick coaches us on how to create an effective, intimate, fun party that truly builds real relationhips that translate into tremendous benefits for you personally and professionally. No matter what your age these small gatherings create huge dividends! You don’t want to miss this episode…in could be career changing and life changing!
Nick Gray‘s book, “The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings” is absolutely fantastic! The more I read it the more I kept saying, “I should do this”. By the end of the book, I was saying, “I need to do this”. After thinking about it, I put it on my calendar, and I am doing this! This book takes the pressure off of doing a long-drawn-out party. It takes the awkwardness out of those “networking” events. It puts you in the position where you are building real relationships that grow deeper that will positively impact you personally and professionally. Charlie “Tremendous” Jones is correct in saying, “Five years from today, you will be the same person that you are today, except for the books your read and the people you meet.” Nick Gray will get you on the way to change, because you will be doing both.

If there is one truth in the world today…it is that when it comes to communication we are not doing very well. Let’s be honest as problems increase, as we draw more verbal lines in the sand, the only solution that can solve the problem is more effective communication. And yet communication with each other seems to be a greater challenge.
We all know in our business and personal lives that poor communication leads to numerous problems. We want to believe that we are great when it comes to our communication…and yet…we often seem to miscommunicate. But how often do we say things in the wrong way, want to prove that we are right, or maybe we hide ourselves from the conversation, rationalize with negativity, or not give our best effort in our communications with others. The fact is we all need to do better and we can do better…how?
A Communication Book for EveryoneCommunication expert Michelle Gladieux joins this episode of A New Direction to help us “Communicate with Courage” and do it in a way that makes us more effective with others, create clarity, and face the fears and take the risks with courage to overcome our communication fears and challenges.
Michelle‘ Gladieux‘s book “Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges” is an insightful look at the multi-faceted diamond of communication. The book addresses many questions, such as: What kind of communicator are you really? What do others think of you as a communicator? How does your personality play a role in your communications?
Of the four basic challenges of communication which one or ones do you struggle with most? Are you “Hiding”? Do you Define to be “Right”? Are you one who Rationalized to the “Negative”? Perhaps you communicate to just be “Good Enough”? Whatever your communication challenge Michelle Gladieux and Communicate with Courage gives you a clear path to overcoming fears and taking the risks that are critical to better business and personal relationships.

Selling Is Not Easy, But It Can Be Easier From Your Comfort Zone
When it comes to selling anything here is what we know. First it can be a tremendously rewarding and lucrative career. We also know that finding people who are good at selling is difficult, and finding great sales people is even harder. Just look at these statistics on selling. In one study they found that 55% of people earning a living in sales should be doing something else and 20-25% have what it takes to sell, but they should be selling something else.
So what’s missing? Why do have so many people have a difficult time in sales and selling? The answer may be they are completely out of alignment with themselves, the company they are selling for, the product that they are selling, and the audience they are selling to. In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author and Sales Team Expert Stacey Hall joins us show us how to be successful in sales by aligning with your core values, aligning with what you sell, and how to use social media to increase sales. This non-traditional view of selling from your comfort zone creates depth in relationships with your clients and leads to greater sales, higher satisfaction and greater success!
Best Selling Book: Selling From Your Comfort Zone
Stacey Hall‘s best selling book is entitled Selling from Your Comfort Zone: The Power of Alignment Marketing the book is going to be a challenging read for those of you who believe in the old fashioned way of doing sales. If you believe that in today’s world that you can avoid the idea of “Know, Like, and Trust” when it comes to selling you will have missed the boat.
The fact is that today’s buyers, whether it is B2B or B2C are looking of those people who they can get to know, are likeable, and can build trusting loyal relationships. The days of scripts, spammy, clever lines and foot in the door are over. The fact is we sell to other humans. Decisions are made by other humans. That means whether you like it or not the decisions that are made are in fact made from a place of emotions, not a place of logic. Hence it would serve us well when it comes to selling to make sure we understand who they are, where they are coming from and have build a solid foundation of a relationship. Because it will be that emotional connection that will avoid objections and naturally lead to the sale…which is truly Selling from Your Comfort Zone.

Unlock Your CreativityOne of the most desirable qualities in today’s business world is creativity. Unfortunately in today’s world for a variety of reasons creativity is not as common as we would like to believe. What about getting to the heart or should I say “core” of creativity? Is there a way we can tap into that reservoir of creativity that we all have, but we just don’t know how to get there?Well in this episode of A New Direction Dr. Ronald Alexander helps you and I tap into our creativity lies deep within us that we have a difficulty tapping into. Let’s be honest creativity is what great success, invention and innovation is built on, and who doesn’t want some of that? Join us right here and get your creativity juices flowing!In this episode Dr. Alexander deals with the myths of creativity. More than likely you have heard of the many myths of creativity. Like the creative person who looks like they are doing nothing and are hence lazy. Dr. Alexander helps us understand that the naysayers are completely mistaken.Maybe you have heard of the myth that creatives are depressed or mentally unstable.What about the myth that our creativity reduces with age. Well nothing could be further from the truth.Dr. Alexander’s book Core Creativity: The Mindful Way to Unlock Your Creative Self is an insightful read that helps us understand that we all have creativity. How we tap into it is what holds us back. So much of our lack of creativity starts with our mindsets, such as Growth vs. Fixed, Open vs. Closed, and Promotion vs. prevention. Core Creativity also digs into how our loss and trauma can create blocks in our creativity that can cause us to not be as creative as we could be.
One of the most interesting ideas that Dr. Alexander shares with us, it the idea that if we want to be more creative that we need to slow down. We need to move on from our past, say good-bye to loss, and hello to opportunities that are in front of us. Always keeping in mind that we need to focus on the solutions…not the problem.
Finally Dr. Alexander analyzes the habits of highly creative individuals. Starting with reframing the way we look at mistakes. Because in reality they are really not mistakes, but as the movie industry describes that are “missed takes” and we get to have a “do over”. He also looks at the role perseverance and patience plays in our creativity. A powerful book and a powerful show!

Discover Your Leadership StyleThere are thousands of books when it comes to leadership. Most of the speak about specific attributes of leaders and leadership. There are many assessments you can take in regard to personality and how it relates to leadership. But thing that the literature particularly avoids is “leadership style”. When I ask you about your leadership style, what the first thing that comes to mind? Is it dictator, hands off, collaborative, something else.
In this episode of A New Direction we dive into leadership style. And when it comes to leadership style Robert Jordan and Olivia Wagner have conducted research with thousands of leaders to help define for leadership styles that we have a preference toward. Perhaps you have a leadership style of being a “Fixer”. Or maybe you have a leadership style of being an “Artist”. Maybe a “Builder” or a “Strategist”. The fact is we all have a preference towards a leadership style, but we may not recognize it. In this episode Robert Jordan, helps you to narrow down what your leadership style is and what organizations you best fit in, and when it is time to perhaps get out.
Right Leader, Right Time: Discover Your Leadership Style for a Winning Career and CompanyRobert Jordan & Olivia Wagner’s book Right Leader, Right Time: Discover Your Leadership Style for a Winning Career and Company is incredibly insightful. In fact, from this readers perspective it was the first time I felt that someone understood my leadership style and that I was not being crazy or weird.
The book is an eye opener for those who wonder why they may jump from leadership postition to leadership position. It can give you some closer as to why you get an andrenaline rush over some things in the organization and other times you want to poke your eye with a fork. The book is well written and uses real world examples with leaders and companies you know. If you want to know what kind of leader you are and when you should or should not get involved, get a copy of Right Leader, Right Now.

Well, here is a show and a book that is aimed at new leaders, but the seasoned leader can glean from. It is this time of year that in baseball we are getting close to “Spring training”.

Burnout is a word that we are using more frequently. It is because it is showing up more frequently and in a variety of different ways. It can be argued that some of the “quiet quitting” that we are witnessing is partially a result of burnout. The fact is that burnout takes a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual toll on your employees.
So Who is to Blame When it Comes to Burnout?There is a tendency to blame. Many organizations and business want to claim that the employee is lazy, unmotivated, disengaged. However, the employee may not see it that way. Why? Because they don’t even know they are burned out. Here is what we do know, that if employee has purpose in their work, are motivated and engaged you have higher productivity and efficiency. So what can you do? First, we can take responsibility where we can take responsibility. The fact is that businesses do contribute to employee burnout which world wide costs nearly $1 trillion dollars! The problem, like the employee they don’t even know their contribution to burnout. So let’s put a damper in burnout, and get Fired up! and on this episode of A New Direction Dr. Mia Russell from Johns Hopkins University joins us to help you transform your team from burnout to Fired Up!
Fired Up!: A guide to transforming your team from burnout to engagement by Drs Mia Russell and Girvin Liggans is a powerful look at the symptoms of burnout, the factors that play a roll in burnout, how businesses and leadership affect burnout, and gives a framework to help businesses reduce burnout and increase performance.

Russell and Liggans have done the research and they have created a solution to help your team become more engaged, more motivated, and improve performance.

Our Mindsets Matter in EVERY Area of Our LifeWe often talk about mindsets. The research has been clear that you can have a “fixed” or “growth” mindset, an “closed” or “open” mindset, and the one that gets very little attention is “prevention” versus “promotion/abundance” mindset. This mindset seems to be especially true when we start talking about money and finances. Quite often when we talk about money so many people are focused on what they will lose rather that what they can gain. Is there a way to change our “money mindset”.
Well, on this episode of A New Direction International Best Selling Author and Entrepreneur Victoria Rader takes into 35 universal laws that you can start applying right now to reset your mind, take actions, control your emotions, and tap into your spiritual self to reset your relationship with yourself, others, and your money and finances.

Your brain and you are not in Sync when it comes to the Remote work space.Since the beginning of the pandemic we are doing far more remote meetings. In fact our workplace is some hybrid of digital. It’s a paradox really because even though we are more connected in these digitally environments e.g. ZOOM, the fact is we are more disconnected than ever. The fact is you and your brain are not connecting the dots. You may think your fine working remotely, but your brain is actually is telling your body something completely different. We are made for connection with other people. Face to face conversations trigger happy chemicals in our brain, like oxytocin and dopamine.
But in the remote environment that does not happen. What is more in these digital environments our brain must work harder. Here is the conundrum, our brain needs appropriate stimuli to make sense of our environment. In remote meetings we lack so much of the stimuli that helps us get clarity on our environment. On this episode of A New Direction NYU Professor of Management Communication Dr. Diane Lennard helps us understand what is really going on with our brain in these environments, and why we our brain struggles in remote environments. She then offers several practical and well researched suggestions how you can improve your physical, mental, emotional, relational, occupational and spiritual well being for yourself and your remote meetings. Listen for some of these remote killers: Exhaustion, Detachment, and Feeling less productive and efficient. Let’s be honest the remote world is here to stay. This show will help you better navigate the remote work place.
Dr. Diane Lennard and Dr. Amy Mednick book “Humanizing the Remote Experience through Leadership and Coaching: Strategies for Better Virtual Connections” is one of the most scientifically well researched books on the topic of how our brain and body respond in remote environments. What our brain and body go through that make the remote environment so taxing and methods to help bring your mind and body into homeostasis. The fact is remote work triggers within us stress that we are completely unaware of. It affects us in so many ways that you may be more exhausted than you know, and sleep is not helping. This book is amazing, and it is literally for anyone.

When it comes to leadership we often focus on “leadership” skills. That sounds good, but that is nothing more than horizontal development. Focusing on those skills is like adding more programs to your computer and expecting it to run faster and more efficiently. The fact is if you want your computer to run faster and more efficiently you need to upgrade the operating system. The same is true of leadership, if you want to be better at making better decisions you don’t need more skills, you need an upgrade to your mind. On this episode of A New Direction Dr. Ryan Gottfredson joins us again to discuss how leaders can level up their leadership through vertical development. How to upgrade the operating system in your mind to become an Elevated Leader your team and your company always desired you to be.
Ryan Gottfredson‘s book The Elevated Leader: Level Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development delves into the areas of leadership development that no book I have read has ever ventured into. The fact of the matter is digging into our operating system, the mind, the will, the emotions and the mind/body connection is relatively new in the literature. The truth however lies in the fact that you can get all the leadership training in the world, but if you are dealing with your errors of your mindsets, and your own stuff, you will stay stuck. One of the most fascinating and impactful part of The Elevated Leader is Dr. Gottfredson‘s work and insight into how trauma can stunt our development. The fact is most of us experience trauma, but either we deny it, ignore it, or suppress it, but the fact remains, it is our trauma that will keep up from our development. We all need to take a closer look at it. The book is absolutely so powerful. Please take a look at the FREE assessments that Dr. Gottfredson offers on his website they are truly insightful.

Risk is not something we spend much time talking about in public circles. Sure, your typical financial advisor may talk about your risk tolerance, but when it comes to life risk, business risk, or career risk, we do not spend very much time discussing it. For many of us we grew up in families where they did not take much risk. They feared that risk would lead to loss.
However, risk can also be rewarded. Especially if we understand it and know how to manage it. The truth is every single day you are alive you are at risk. The question is are you in control of your risk or are you letting circumstances dictate your risk. On this episode of A New Direction Retired Marine Angie Morgan rejoins us to talk about her new book entitled “Bet on You”. Angie is going to take us through how if you take risk in the right way, bet on your gifts, talents, and abilities that your risk is going to lead to reward…and that reward is the life that you dreamed of, and achieving the success you imagined.
Bet on You: How to Win with Risk Book – Angie Morgan – A New Direction with Jay IzsoBet on You: How to Win with Risk is a mental, emotional, and spiritual journey into our psyche when it comes to risk. Each chapter is filled with thought provoking ideas and practical tools to help you embrace risk and achieve greater success than you are right now. Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch have written a must read in Bet on You. And when you consider all the things you could bet on, you are your best investment with the greatest return. Learn to turn your risks into rewards…Bet on You!

I am so grateful for you listening to the show and telling your friends. Our goal is to truly help people find A New Direction in Leadership and Success in your life, career, and your business. And this show with Major General John Gronski is just one example of the great authors and books I interviewed this year. You the listener voted Iron Sharpened Leadership and General Gronski as one of the most downloaded shows of the year. So if you missed it, no worries here it is. If you have listened to it. I suggest listening to it again, because the general gives us practical tools to help your leadership skills.
Iron Sharpened Leadership is one of the top 3 books I have ever read on leadership. It is truly a leadership toolkit for everyone. What is more this comes from a United States Major General that spent time working thousands of men and women in the bloodiest part of the Iraq war. He truly exemplified what he terms “muddy boots leadership”. I highly recommend the book, and it is a book that anyone will gain from. Enjoy the show…but I also suggest you get a copy of “Iron Sharpened Leadership“.

One of the greatest gifts we can give our employees is recognize them for what they do for your company. But you want to do it right. That year end recognition ceremony where you hand out the plaques is just not working. So what kind of recognition works? And how can you as a business owner, CEO, or manager get ROI from your recognition programs? Then we have another problem...today in most companies we have a multi-generational workforce. And each generation has a different idea about what appropriate recognition is. Which also leads us to how do you sell your product or service to different generations. And since you probably have a multi-generational sales force how do you lead them?In this episode of A New Direction Senior Vice President of Madison Performance Group Judd Weisgal, who sells, develops and implements recognition programs to Fortune 500 companies, helps understand how to recognize and incentive employees, and gives his insights on how to sell to corporations and individuals.

They worry about paying the bills, taking care of their family, getting to do the things they want to do, or even retire. What if your money problems could be solved by changing your mindset? What if you could discover the things that are holding you back that are keeping you from being financially successful? In this episode of A New Direction, Film producer, International Investor, and Wealth Advisor to Celebrities and Professional Athletes Erik Weir joins me to talk about how to put you on the transformational path to financial success from his book "Who's Eating Your Pie? This is perhaps one of the best books on financial transformation I have ever read.

Building a personal life, building your significant relationship, building a more fit physical you, building your faith, and so much more! The fact is the biggest culprit Who's Eating Your Pie is YOU! Your mindsets, your decisions, you control how wealthy you are going to be in any area of your life.

There are different perspectives on what "work" is and what it "should" be. Some people will say that you "go to work, you don't go to fun", but that simply is not true any more. Today we all go to work trying to be in an environment where we can use our talents, gifts, abillties and knowledge, have a sense of fulfillment, and at the same time be able to adequately provide for our family and ourselves.
However, as we all know we get that career job, and it doesn't turn out the way we had hoped. In fact, it seems as if our work is taking more work than it is worth. What is more, all those promises that you were told, like how you were going to move up quickly in the company have been all but dashed because you were passed up...again...for someone else.
This breeds discouragement and dissilusionment when it comes to work. Well in this episode of A New Direction Career Coach Extraordinaire, Terry Boyle McDougall helps you understand that if you are going to play in the game of work, part of the problem is you are playing by the wrong rules. As Terry says, "it's like your work is play by the rule of Monopoly, but you are playing by the rules are Twister". From her best selling book "Winning the Game of Work". This episode is going to be an eye opener for both the employee and employer.

There are many books that will talk about how to increase revenue. But few focus on small to medium size service -based businesses. Even fewer can gaurantee it and use math to prove it? Well on this episode of A New Direction Michael Buzinski founder and CEO of BuzzBizz Media joins us to fulfill his promise that if you follow "The Rule of 26" and achieve its 3 objectives, you will double your website revenue. Let me ask you this if you could watch or listen to a show that could help you double your revenue from your website, and it was free...would you do it?
Michael Buziniski, or "Buzz" as he is often called book, "The Rule of 26: For Service Based Businesses: 3 Steps to Doubling Your Website Revenue" is a no nonsense, no fluff book that will help every small to medium size business website double it's revenue. So you are asking, what is "The Rule of 26"? Well simply put it starts with knowing three Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Unique Visitors, Conversion Rate and Average Revenue Per Client (ARPC). Where does 26 come in...really simple if you increase each of those areas by 26% you will double your website revenue. Don't think it applyes to you? Think again, your website is the one employee that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, takes no holidays and requires no insurance...it should be at the top of your investment list.

Today was "Ask Coach Jay Day". Complete transparency we had a glitch with the original guest and rather than do nothing we decided to have a show where people could write in their questions live. So on this episode of A New Direction...we truly took A New Direction. The show started with talking about how to find your natural God given gifts and how that can lead to a purpose. Then our first question came from a viewer and listener who wanted to know how you get out of a rut in your life. The final question we answered was from a viewer and a listener who wanted to know how do you fight for your dreams when you have health issues. And the end of it all we learn three things we are always in control of...our attitude, our effort, and our perseveverance. Let us know if you like ths show and if you would like to hear more "Ask Coach Jay" shows in the future.

Why can't we all just get along? As the generations work in the same space, the differences seem to be magnified. The lines have been drawn. Everything seems to be black and white with no gray area. If you are a "baby boomer" chances are you find the millennials and Gen Z generations frustrating, perhaps seeing them as entitled, lazy, or arrogant. If you are Gen X like me, it's all about independence, we find the "baby boomers" closed minded and controlling. If you are a milennial you want to collaborate and not be left out, you want balance, and find meaning and purpose. If you are a Gen Z when it comes to work you want to know, "What's in it for me". Let's open our minds for a minute. The fact is we were all raised in different era's. The way we were raised was completely different from each other. Each generation speaks a different language. There are technological differences, the speed of information differences, and more...the truth is no generation is right...we are just different, and that's where we need to start. On this episode of A New Direction we have with us generational expert Chris De Santis talking about his amazing and insightful book: "Why I Find Your Irritating: Navigating Generational Friction at Work".
Chris De Santis book "Why I Find You Irritating: Navigating Generational Friction at Work" is an eye opening and revealing look at how the different generations came to be, and how they view working in today's workforce. The book examines how we have come to have the biased views we have of each generation and the Chris gives us ways to help combat those biases and treat each generation as they were meant to be treated by giving us some skill training in both our behavior and mindset when it comes to the different generations. The book is a must read for every CEO, Owner, Founder, Entrepreneur, Manager, and employee. You will come to understand when it comes to generations. "Why I Find You So Irritating".

Are you as successful as you want to be in your life? How about your business? How about your career? Research has demonstrated that how you think determines the level of success regardless of how you define it, that you can achieve. Researcher and Best Selling Author Dr. Ryan Gottfredson joins us again on this episode of A New Direction to dig deeper into the four mindets that can create success or can kill it. The sad truth is that most of us are in complete denial about our mindsets, believing we are better than we truly are... Dr. Gottfredson sheds light on four mindsets from his book "Success Mindsets". Think of them on a continuum.
The four mindsets are:
Growth or Fixed Mindsets Open or Closed Mindsets Promotion or Prevention Mindsets Outward or Inward Mindsets
Ryan Gottfredson's book, Success Mindsets: Your Keys to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership is an absolute deep dive into our mindsets and how they affect our life, our work, our behavior, and our success. As we take a deeper dive into the book we must come to realize that our own upbringing has influenced much of our mindsets, and that they are most often not serving us well, not to mention they do not serve others at all. Success Mindsets is a perfect book for you, your team, and your clients. If you would like to take the Success Mindsets Assessment go to: www.ryangottfredson.com/successmindsets

So often we wonder why we do not get the results we are looking for. We will typically blame a person or group of people for our failures and mistakes. If you are leading a team you will frequently be tempted to follow the addage of "fire fast and hire slow". But are these really problems that are beyond your control or problems that you could control if your mindset was different? The problem is we get into denial believe that we have the right mindsets. If I were to ask you right now do you have a "closed" or "open" mindset you would undoubtedly say "open". Yet your behavior says, "closed", your team may even say "closed". That's because we don't know our mindsets well and what it would take to truly change them. Fortunately, on this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author Dr. Ryan Gottfredson walks us through the four mindsets and how by changing them we can become more successful in every area of our life.
Ryan Gottfredson's book: Success Mindsets: Your Keys to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work & Leadership is one of the most eye opening, life changing books I have ever read. If you take this book seriously it will change you, your work, the way you lead, and ultimately the way you live your life. In Success Mindsets Ryan Gottfredson focuses on four primary mindsets. "Growth vs Fixed Mindsets", "Open vs. Closed Mindsets", "Promotion vs. Prevention Mindsets", and "Outward vs. Inward Mindsets". As he takes you on a deeper dive of each one, there will undoubtably come a point where you see yourself along the contiuum of each. In fact, if you would like to evaluate yourself in each of these mindsets. Ryan Gottfredson will let you take his assessment for free by clicking on ryangottfredson.com/successmindsets Truly a life changing book!

Did you know that according to Gallup only 36% of employees are actually engaged in their work? That means basically 2 out 3 employees just do a job without having a purpose. We currently live in an era of "Quiet Quitting"...just doing enough to not get fired. Why? Becaue they cannot find a purpose in their work. What does that mean to you and your business? What lack of employee engagement and purpose means is less productivity, lower morale, fewer innovative ideas, and ultimately less profit. So what can you do increase employee engagement? Help them find their purpose. How? There is an answer. And on this episode of A New Direction best selling author Steve Curtin ( "Delight Your Customers") raises your employee engagement by aligning their work purpose with your company values and with some one-on-one converstations known as the "The Revelation Conversation"
Steve Curtin author of the best selling book "Delight Your Customers" has a brand new eye opening book for every business entitled, "The Revelation Conversation: Inspire Greater Employee Engagement by Connecting to Purpose". What makes this book such a game changer is that finally help the employee connect to a "work purpose". Why does their work matter? How does their work truly make an impact? What brings meaning to their work? Just think about it if your employees knew the answers to those questions what would you see happen in your business...one thing is for sure...you wouldn't worry about "quiet quitting", and you find yourself in the most profitable position you have ever been in.

It has been said, "there are no business problems, but only personal problems that show up in your business." As one who coaches business professionals at every level, I have found this to be 100% true. When our lives lack purpose, meaning, or we feel have not impact, we are living a life that is unfulfilling. The external rewards only take us so far. The accumulation of things and money dissilusion us with power that we mistake as fulfillment. The truth is you and I have been placed on this planet for a much bigger purpose. And it's not so we can accumulate "stuff". No we want "meaning" in our work. We ultimately want to make an impact on the lives of others.

Whether you are an Owner, CEO, Manager, or an Employee. One thing is absolutely true that when we trust each other it is easier for us to together as a team work be more productive, impactful, and certainly more profitable. Then why do we have such a difficult time getting our team of people to trust and "play nice" with each other so that we can experience the benefits.
Often times we focus on Whether you are an Owner, CEO, Manager, or an Employee. One thing is absolutely true that when we all work together as a team work is more productive, impactful, and certainly more profitable. Then why do we have such a difficult time getting our team of people to "play nice" with each other so that we can experience the benefits.
Often times we focus on micromanagement disquised as accountability to drive our teams, but micromanagement never builds trust and accountability alone does not bring the team together, nor does it ensure "teamwork". So what really is lacking when our team or teams are not dedicatedly working together? Well, to borrow a quote from the great singer Billy Joel...It's a matter of trust.
And fortunately on this episode of A New Direction Business Trust Expert from Australia Marie-Claire Ross shares her researched "Integrated Trust Building System" to help you and you team or teams get better connected, get more productive, make a bigger impact, and ultimately become more profitable.
Marie-Claire's book: Trusted to Thrive is an absolute comprehensive guide into building trust between you as a leader and your team. There is no doubt this is going to take hard work. But the research she has conducted for the book as well as her own make "Trusted to Thrive" a powerful set of tools to build or rebuild any business or organization into the productive, efficient and profitable place that is was meant to be.

To say that we are living in some turbulent times is an understatment. It is during turbulent times like these that we are all tested, but it is where we see great leadership emerge, and at the same time weak leadership to fail. One trait that is for sure in great leadership is reslience. The ability to keep going when we keep getting hit. When circumstances and economies surround and attack our business. It is during those times where resilient leadership must show up and lead the way. In this episode of A New Direction Ali Grovue & Mike Watson encourage us as leaders though six interrconnected habits of reslient leadership. Whether you are aspiring to leadership, are in leadership and want to become even greater this show is for you!
Ali Grovue and Mike Watson's book is entitled Rise Up: Leadership Habits for Turbulent Times. It is 100 pages of powerpacked practical mindsets and behaviors that anyone can practice and will see improvement in their leadership. Rise up requires that we take a deep dive into ourselves in our leadership positions and as people and ask the hard questions so that we can not only handle change, but lead change. The book is filled with real examples, and great research. Rise up will be a book that you will refer to again and again as a resource for you to enhance your leadership regardless of how long you have been a leader.

Have you ever seen a "Barnstormer"? Those women and men who fly the planes at amazing speeds doing amazing stunts. Some of you may shake your head and say, "not me". Others of you get excited about it and can understand the thrill. The truth is Barnstorming is like like owning your own business. Your business moves at aafast pace, it experiences the twists and turns, and at times it can make your stomach turn inside out. In Barnstorming, like your business, the risks are always there, but you choose to run your business anyway. In essence, you are a barnstormer. In this episode of A New Direction pilot and coach Harlan Hammack gets us back to the fundamentals of business so that we can launch, run, and grow your business in the midst of all the risk and twists and turns.
Harlan Hammack's book, "Barnstorming: A Pilot's Guide to Growing Your Business" is a quick read filled with psychological and practical knowledge that is fundamental to any business regardless of the stage. In between the chapters Harlan Hammack introduces us to some of the Barnstormers that took the imaginations of the minds of those watching and applies them to these practical principles.

Who doesn't like a really great underdog story? We all do! And former CEO of PRC-Desoto Ted Clark inspires us with his story on this episode of A New Direction. No MBA. In fact, Ted did not have a degree. As his story goes at 19 he started as a "shipping clerk"...and in 22 years he worked his way up to becoming the CEO and President of a major corporation. Then he did it again, and then he started his own corporation and grew into a global publicly traded company! How? you may ask. And that is the power of Ted's story. His will, his curiosity, his perseverance, and more. He provides you with the practical tools that literally any one of us can do, if you are willing to do them. And the fact is the only person who is stopping you from doing them right now...is YOU! From knowing your "WHY" to "Leading with Purpose", Ted delivers an inspiring message for us all.
Ted Clark's book "Shipping Clerk to CEO: The Power of Curiosity, Will and Self Directed Learning" Is a powerful, practical bluprint for success at any level in any business. Ted Clark delivers an inspiring message with his practical steps that if you will take the initiative, create some better habits, and have a desire to aspire and achieve you will move up in whatever company you are in, from whatever position you are in. The book is not a long read, but it is filled with so much powerful and useful information, that it is perfect for the high school student to the late in life person ready to make a career change. "Shipping Cleark to CEO" by Ted Clark is a must read in my opinion.

They say, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Isn't it true? Psychologically our brain is wired to remember pictures easier and with much more clarity than listening to words or reading them from a page. Then why do spend so much time carving out the right message with words when we could be enhancing our leadership and lives by creating pictures that can be seen in our mind. Author Todd Cherches joins us this week on A New Direction and gives us practical guidance and tools to help us leverage the power of visual thinking in leadership and life from his best selling book VisuaLeadership.
Todd Cherches' book "VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life" is not your typical "leadership" book. Todd who is an NYU and Columbia University award winning lecturer opens our eyes and minds to creating pictures for our audience and followers so that we can make deeper connections, have more clarity, and make our points easier to remember. Whether we actually use visual images or we paint the images through stories in the minds of those who we lead. VisuaLeadership is an excting way to approach communication whether in leadership or just living life.

When we hear the word "Data" the first thing we think of naturally is numbers. And so often we think that the "numbers" make the decision for us. The fact is the analytics and statistics only tell us part of the story and if the "input" is wrong up front, the resulting "data" will mislead us into making bad decisions. Kevin Hanegan author of "Turning Data Into Wisdom" joins us on this episode of A New Direction. Kevin is going to give you deep insights on how we need to be careful with the numbers we see in every day life. And take a close look at our biases when it comes to looking at the data and other errors we make with "data".
Further Kevin and I explore how we misinterpret data and how we can be more conscious of our misinterpretations. In his book "Turning Data Into Wisdom" Kevin encourages to ahve a healthy bit of sketpicism. We should always question the results we are presented with on TV. In fact we need to get better at challenging the statistic rather than trying ot find ways to verify what we believe. Because that is bias. And when we are biased the last thing we are doing is "Turning Data into Wisdom" Whether that be for our lives or our business.

Most of us use Amazon.com services. It is estimated that 65% of the U.S. population uses Amazon at least once a month. The leadership of Amazon fell on Jeff Bezos and he led and created something that most people use and even if they don't use it, we all are aware of it's success. What does it take to lead and be a leader at Amazon? Well this week's guest on A New Direction is John Rossman who was a Director for Amazon.com and he reveals 14 leadership principles that were ingrained into him during his time there.
John Rossman's book "The Amazon Way: Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles" is a candid and insightful look at the leadership of Jeff Bezos and the way leadership was demonstrated and exemplified. These 14 leadership principles or as John calls them LP's are so dependent on each other that it is really not possible to separate them. They are all equally important and they are congruent with each other. Please download John Rossman's free Amazon Way Leadership Poster by going to www.the-amazon-way.com And get his book "The Amazon Way" it is not a long read but it is a power packed read that you will truly enjoy.

Nearly all of us have either tried or dreamed about starting our own business and become entrepreneurs. Why don't more people become entrepreneurs? The number one reason is, that it is filled with so much risk, that people cannot take it. The other reason is because it is a constant rollercoaster sometimes from day to day. Those that are successful entrepreneurs are far fewer than those who have failed. By multi-entrepreneur and philanthropist Bob Schlegel is one of those entrepreneurs who knows the game so well has failed, faced bankruptcy, depression and more only to come out on top and keep going. And he joins us this week on A New Direction.
Bob Schlegel's book entitled "Angels and Entrepreneurs: A Lifestyle Formula for Starting Your Own Business and Riding the Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship is a Wall Street Journal Best Seller. It is a close look at Bob Schlegel's journey into his failures and successes as an entrepreneur and what it takes to start a business. In this episode Bob talks about the core of an entrepreneurs lifestyle with PEP (Persistence, Education, Entrepreneurship, Passion) we then move on to discuss other lessons and G.O.I. If your curious what that is, then listen in to the show...that's the teaser.

Linda Craft & Team have helped thousands of clients achieve their dream, and they would love to help you too. Just click on over to www.LindaCraft.com
Whether you are a recent graduate or a have been working in your career for decades we all come face to face with a couple of questions: "Am I really doing the work in my career that has meaning and purpose? And is this the career I really want to spend my life doing?" Why is it that the world looks badly at us when we say "But this is not the career I want?" or "This isn't the career I thought it would be?" Somehow it is like we are forced to stay in our jobs or careers that we don't like because we made a decision or got a major and now like eating old boiled okra we must sit and eat it!! Why? And that is exactly what Dr. Alan Patterson challenges in this episode of A New Direction.
Dr. Alan Patterson's book is entitled "Burn Ladders, Build Bridges". The ladder we are burning is the corporate ladder that really has nothing to do with merit or hard work. The bridges are building are the relationships with others and ourselves. But as we find out in this episode Dr. Patterson walks us through the 5 Pillars to help us find the job we always wanted. He takes through
Build a base of competence and credibility. Build context. Build relationships Create impact Create meaning
Here is the best part, it can start with your job right now. It doesn't mean you hijack your job, but you can start creating the job you want if you know what you are looking for. Dr. Patterson and "Burn Ladders, Build Bridges" is eye-opening for sure!

Linda Craft & Team, Realtors, for 35 years they have been helping people all over the world protect their dreams and make new ones.

Linda Craft and her team continue the tradition of being the “memory makers”. When you are ready for your memory head on over to www.LindaCraft.com
Let me ask you do love your job? Okay, do find that when you go to work it has meaning? Do you feel like the work you do serves a bigger purpose? Well if you are like most people when the go to work they do not feel like their work has meaning or purpose. What if I told you that you could find work that was both meaningful and had purpose? Maybe you would say something like, "I don't believe you" or "I can't make a change". What if I told you that it is possible to find meaning and purpose in the work that you are currently doing? Now you might say, "Jay...You lost your mind". Let me introduce you to Dr Alan Patterson who joins us on this episode of A New Direction, because he has some insight for you about your job or changing jobs that may alter your perspective.
Dr. Patterson's book is entitled, "Burn Ladders. Build Bridges: Pursuing Work with Meaning + Purpose". The book is an amazing insightful look on how we got to where we are and understanding how we need to start burning the corporate ladder, and build relationship bridges so that we can find more meaning and purpose in what we do. One of the key takeaways in this episode, how to get unstuck. "Burn Ladders, Build Bridges" is an outstanding no holds barred read that helps you realize you are in more control of your work than you realize.

If you are like me you remember watching the Wizard of Oz and young Judy Garland playing the heroine Dorothy from a small time in Kansas. But what if the story was slightly rewritten. The setting is a small Kansas town and it is a couple of businesses that wondering if they should do a merger and a young HR Director by the name of Dora T. Gayle because of a bizarre "twister" of circumstances must now be the one to determine if the merger will work. We get introduced to Glenda Ozborn the CEO of OZ Technologies and some of her staff like Cher Crowe, Timm Mann, and Howard Lee Lyon, and of course Mitchell and his monkey Wingo, who is also known as The "Witchell" or the Wicked VP from the West. The story is fun, but the leadership lessons are even more powerful with every chapter. And on this episode of A New Direction Co-Author Dr. Kevin Gazzara walks through some of the lessons and the fun of the book.
The book "The Leader of Oz: Revealing the 101 Secrets of Marvelous Leadership for the 21st Century" is a leadership book like none other. While the story is fun and engaging the lessons are timeless and priceless. What is more about the book is also a leadership assessment that you can measure your strengths in four areas: Brain, Heart, Nerve and Wisdom (I think you catch the OZ references). We begin the show with the most obvious and fundamental leadership dimension and that is of authenticity. And as both Dora T. and Dorothy discovery when we truly discover who we are it is when we truly begin the journey of leadership.
Please say thank you to our sponsors! It is there financial support that allows A New Direction to continue growing and getting great authors like Rob Jolles.

The late great women's basketball coach Pat Summit once was reported being asked about her secret to winning championships, she said, "recruit great players". Jim Collins in his book "Good to Great" alludes to recruiting great employees in his quote, "If I were running a company today I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could..." The fact of the matter is if you want to recruit the best people you have to have something to offer them. The same is true if you want to better motivate your employees and if you have recruited the best people and you have them motivated, there is no doubt you will be profitable. How do you do that? Well, Author and CEO Rob Marchalonis gives you the insights with IncentShare. It's more than just incentives it is sharing in the business so that your employees are engaged, connected, motivated, and want to see your organization prosper.
Rob Marchalonis book IncentShare: Motivate, Recruit, and Get Results with Incentives - Succeed by Sharing is comprehensive step by step guide to helping you recruit and keep your best employees, while at the same time increasing profits. Not only does Rob give you the detail on how to IncentShare he provides several examples of companies that use IncentShare to recruit the best talent. For example did you know that Google does not have the best salaries and yet their people are some of the best paid. That is because they share their success. In fact, so many people apply to work for Google that it is more difficult to get a job with Google than to get into Yale, Harvard, or Princeton. Still think that sharing financial success doesn't work...think again...because every big company is doing it and Rob Marchalonis is going to talk about how.
We are so grateful for the financial support of the sponsors of A New Direction. They really do help us secure great authors, books, and distribute the show. Please go to their websites and thank them. Even going to their social media pages and giving them a LIKE would be awesome!

It has been said that "all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy". In today's society it seems that we just want people to work. But maybe the real truth is we need balance in our work. Not just play, but the idea that the workplace is a fun place to work. Study after study has demonstrated that workplaces that have fun are more productive, more creative, and create employee loyalty. It then begs the question: "Would you call your workplace a "fun" place to work? With the number of people who are ghosting their job, jumping jobs, leaving good paying companies there may be a good case that the workplace is just not a fun place to work. Let's be honest when we are having fun...who really wants to leave a place like that?
In this episode of A New Direction we bring back Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo co-authors of the best selling book "Work Made Fun, Gets Done!" The book is full of ideas not just for the in person office, but also for the hybrid or "work from home" (WFH) office. Dr. Bob and Mario Tamayo are going to give their insights, experience, backed by solid research. Let's be honest we are all looking for people who are willing to work, by loyal, be productive, be more creative, and be more efficient...and all of those things combined mean more profitability. That is why "Work Made Fun, Get's Done" and is a must read!
We really would like to ask you to thank our sponsors. Their financial support of A New Direction is so critical to helping us provide quality guests, books, and great sounding show.

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges we all have is presenting in front of others. So often when it comes to presenting we major on the minors and minor on the majors. The major of course making sure you are presenting you authentically. You can have all the presentation skills down pat, but until you realize that YOU ARE THE PRESENTATION it will not make any difference, because nothing substitutes for the authentic you...you simply cannot fake it. Thankfully for you and I best selling and gold medal winning author Dr. Sharon Lamm-Hartman joins us on A New Direction to talk about "The Authenticity Code".
Dr. Sharon's book, "The Authenticity Code: The Art and Science of Success and Why You Can’t Fake It to Make It" is an absolute must read for anyone who is going after a new job, selling (B2B or B2C). public speaking, or simply networking. "The Authenticity Code" will teach you how to find your authentic self so that you are presenting YOU authentically. The book also gives training in how to read people while presenting and become more adaptable in your presentations. This book is fantastic!

As a coach I am often called because the owner, founder, or CEO wants to change their business. There is this belief system that the business is it's own entity and that you magically can change the business. However, the truth is if you want your business to truly change then the owner, founder, or CEO is the one who must change first...and that is not always easy. On this episode of A New Direction I have the privilege of talking change with executive coach and author Michael S. Seaver. We talk about why it is difficult to change and the process of navigating change.
Michael Seaver's book is entitled, "I Know: A Practical Guide for Awakening to What's Within and Finding Work-Life Integration" The book is truly a practical guide on how to navigate the rough water's of change so you can change your business but it also is a book that provides practical information about how to carve out your personal mission, core values, train your people to be coaches, what you should look for in a coach and so much more! This is one of those shows that is literally for anyone at any stage of your life, career, business. If you want or need change this show is for you. And pick up your copy of "I Know".

How many of you dream of being your own boss? You know owning your own company. It all sounds pretty cool until you look at the lives of those who build it from the ground up and all the struggles it takes to get to financial success. How do you stay resilient when life throws you a curve? Like your parents dying. No money. Feeling Lost and alone. So what you do you? Well if you are Elliott Noble-Holt, you turn a $500 dollar gift card into a copy machine and start a business. And he joins us this week on A New Direction and encourages you that you too can make it, it may not be easy, but with perseverance and resilience you can achieve financial freedom and financial success.
Elliott Noble-Holt has written a book that really is about resilience entitled "Bald, Bearded, Boss: Manifesting Who You Were Meant to Be". The truth is it would be easy to let any circumstance get you down, but Elliott demonstrates that if you maintain your resilience you can achieve. Elliott demonstrates his resilience in his faith. He is resilient with his core values. Resilient with his employees and customers. And resilient to take care of himself. The book is practically minded. And starting with a "Vision Board" Elliott Noble-Holt helps us bring what we don't see yet into existence through our vision. Great book, fun show!

EPIC physical therapy, they are my physical therapists and here is just one of the reasons why. It’s not the cutting edge equipment, it’s not that they are certified in the latest therapies, and it’s not that professional athletes use them, no, the reason I go to EPIC is because I know that they are going to design a customized treatment program specifically for me, and they care enough to make certain I follow through with it. That’s why I go. And you can expect the same, so when you are ready for EPIC relief, EPIC recovery, and EPIC results go to EPIC physical Therapy. www.EPICpt.com
Linda Craft & Team, Realtors, for 35 years they have been helping people all over the world protect their dreams and make new ones. Let’s be honest, most people will never think about the price of the home they purchased and sold…but we all will think about the memories that were made in that home. The powerful emotions that were in that home. Because at the end of the day that is what makes the home. The memories and the emotions of those memories. Linda Craft and her team continue the tradition of being the “memory makers” by giving the home you are ready to sell the marketing and attention it deserves, and the new memories when you purchase your next home. When you are ready for your memory head on over to www.LindaCraft.com
No doubt about it, obtaining new customers will cost you more than retaining your current clients. But what happens if your customers do not return? Or worse yet what happens if your clients leave? We all know the answer...you are going to spend more money on customer acquisition. More expensive marketing dollars to try to convert "tire kickers" into customers and then try to convince them to be a long term client. There is a better answer. Donna Weber is a Customer Onboarding Expert and she returns to A New Direction to talk more in detail about turning your customers into long term clients that bring in future business. In reality those loyal clients become your least expensive and best marketing to get future customer and keep them.
Donna Weber's book is entitle "Onboarding Matters: How Successful Companies Transform New Customers Into Loyal Champions" It is filled with practical and powerful well documented and researched tools to help you take your customers to loyal clients. If you are having any problems ensuring that your clients are championing your business, or you are losing clients to your competition you will want to pay close attention to Donna Weber as she will change your business and make it more profitable.

We have all heard of democracy, The problem is we only think of it as a government entity. The problem is as democracy is outlined most governments that say they practice democracy do not practice the principles.

When it comes to learning about business there is a great deal to be said about getting a solid college education. And yes an MBA helps when it comes to learning about business, but perhaps the greatest lessons are learned after school is out, the school of the real world begins. Rael Bricker is originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, but lives in Perth Australia. He has a Master's Degree in Engineering and MBA but that is not what makes Rael Bricker's story so amazing. What makes Rael's story so compelling is that he became a serial entrepreneur who decided to "Dive In" to one business adventure after another and achieved great success in all he did. We are fortunate to have him on this episode of A New Direction.
Rael Bricker's book is entitled "Dive In: Lessons Learnt Since Business School". It is truly an autobiography of his life of work and all the wisdom he accumulated along the way. From how to find marketing niches without much money, to creating a highly successful mortgage company that has a culture of fun and yet professional. As you listen to the show you will find something that will resonate with you that you can do. And perhaps the greatest lesson of all is...just "DIVE IN!"

Let's be honest the world is changing at an amazing pace. Technology is moving so fast that as soon as you purchase technology it is already obsolete. As we come through the pandemic we have watched which companies were able to handle change and which ones sadly could not. The other fact is that if we are not willing to change, or chose to ignore it. those businesses will die. And then there are times when businesses try to change, but fail, because rather than understanding how to make the entire organization change, they dictate change and the business dies again. How can you avoid all that? How can you make a successful change in your business? Fortunately for us we have Erika Andersen the founder of Proteus the leaders in business change here on A New Direction.
Erika Andersen's Book "Change from the Inside Out" is powerful, practical and detailed on how companies can achieve change. The first step is to make sure that you as the leader have the mindset shift. And the it requires that you bring your people along to the right mindset shift. Sadly, and this is often missed, leaders typically become a dictator with change and it all fails. Erika Andersen in "Change from the Inside Out" helps you work through the leadership issues of change, the employee issues with change, and the organizational issues such as culture when it comes to change.

When it comes to work freedom is the last thing we think about. Most of the places we work at for instance use some sort of a hierarchy. But what if you could truly have freedom at work? What if you really mattered? What if your opinion mattered? What if you were given more choices within your job? When we think about those questions depending where you are at in the hierarchical chain you may see it as a utopia or simply impossible. On this episode of A New Direction Founder and Owner of WorldBlu Traci Fenton takes us on the beginning journey on moving your business from a dictatorship into a democracy, where people experience freedom at their work.
You as a leader may be saying to yourself, "it's not possible to give people freedom and be successful". As Traci Fenton will share with you that companies that have embraced a true democracy guided by her company Worldblu in the course of 3 years experienced a 700% revenue growth....that is not at typo, 700%. You will hear Traci restate in the show. The fact is embracing democracy and leadership democracy in your business is going to take a shift in mindset, design, leadership, and most of all courage. So if you are ready to grow take a listen as Traci Fenton and Jay Izso talk about her ground breaking book, "Freedom at Work"!

We have all been through and continue to go through crisis. For the last two plus years we have been dealing with the pandemic. We have seen businesses crumble, people scatter, emotions rising. The truth is leading in a crisis is not easy. Now we have Russia invading and starting an unprovoked war with the Ukraine. Talk about leading in a crisis, no one is envious of what Volodymyr Zelensky the President of the Ukraine must face every day. When it comes to leading in a crisis this week's guest on A New Direction Major General John Gronski is no stranger to living in that world.
Major General Gronski served in Iraq during the Iraq war. He served in Ramadi which was called "The Bloodiest Place on the Planet". He led soldiers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. He knows what Leading in a Crisis is, and the price of lives that war takes. What is more he has been successful at leading. He has written an outstanding book entitled, "Iron Sharpened Leadership". In this episode we will talk about some of the book, but we will mostly deal with, "How do you lead in a crisis"? How should we prepare? What do you do in a crisis? How do you keep your people together in a crisis? And General Gronski will also compare and contrast the leadership styles of Vladamir Putin of Russia, and Volodymyr Zelensky of the Ukraine. It is a powerful show! You can contact General Gronski at www.johngronski.com

When it comes to our job search we often get the same old tired advice. Many job search professionals will want to focus on your resume, cover letter, or your network. And while those things have value we often miss the most important element in our job search...YOU. As our authors Cathy Wasserman and Lauren Weinstein on this episode of A New Direction describe it, "we can have a tsunami of emotions". Those emotions coupled with our mindset will affect our motivations. Then add to that your values and beliefs, and your unmet needs and the the job search can become so overwhelming that you simply say forget it.
This is where Cathy Wasserman & Lauren Weinstein's book "The Empowered Job Search" becomes a complete and total psychological and practical tool kit for you to get YOU in order so you can find that great job.

This book has exercises and questions that will help you identify what you really want and need in your next job, dealing with your emotions, getting clear on your must-haves and deal breakers, and yes, resumes' and cover letters are discussed as well...and rather than call it networking they discuss building a community.

We place a great amount of stock in what people say, but perhaps we have that wrong. We more than likely should pay closer to the body language of the person because that may be more of a give away of what that person is thinking. Most of us are fascinated with body language when it comes to deception and lying. Most of us also believe we can detect lying accurately in others say with their body, but the truth is you are only about 50% right. True experts are 90% accurate. But body language is important for business. For example can you determine if someone is really interested in the job when you are conducting the interview. How about when you are selling, can you read the body language of a potential customer that they are giving you signals that you have lost them, and they no longer are interested in doing business with you. Could you change your body language to win them back? Thankfully Body Language expert Martin Brooks joins us on this episode of A New Direction to help you not only become a better at reading others body language, but changing your body language to improve your relationships.
Martin Brooks has a 50 cards in a deck with a booklet entitled "Body Language Decoder". The booklet and the cards are an insightful look on how to help you notice body signals where people are convicted, making a powerplay, nervousness, deception, interested, disinterested and more! This is one of those fantastica and fun reads that you will want to have as a reference. The fact is the more we can learn about body language the better we will be at it. The "Body Language Decoder" is fun, interesting, educational, and will be help for you in your personal life and business.

When it comes to marketing the research is clear, your best marketing is telling your authentic unique story. Why? Because our brains are naturally wired to hear and relate to a story. Also, because we all have one. What is more every story is unique which means that your story becomes a differentiator when it comes to your marketing. The question becomes how do you tell your marketing story? Well thankfully the founder, CEO and Chief Storyteller of WordWrite PR Paul Furiga returns again on this episode of A New Direction to talk and walk you through how to tell your marketing story that will lead to more clients, more business, more profit and greater success.
Paul Furiga will discuss the "5 Pillars than support your story" Then he moves us to finding your story "archetype". That is are you the "wise sage", maybe the "outlaw", the "jester", the "hero" or maybe someone else. And then he moves us through how to ensure it's authentic, it is told by the right people to the right audience. Then as we move along in the show we talk about the difference of telling a story if you are B2B or B2C and considerations of a product or service. And all of this can be found in Paul Furiga's insightful marketing book "Finding Your Capital S Story: Why your Story Drives your Brand". Get your Copy Today.

We all know the statistics...the number one reason why people leave their job is their boss. But we also read how managers are frustrated because they cannot seem to motivate their employees to be as productive as they need the to be. Honestly when it comes to this relationship it appears to be no relationship at all. The fact is this relationship should be a partnership. A partnership that resembles a marriage. But instead this partnership appears to be looking for reason to dissolve or get a divorce. The problem: Both sides are not being authentic, honest, and openly communicate what they need and want from each other, and like a marriage partnership when that doesn't happen...well divorce is just waiting to happen. Thankfully on this episode of A New Direction Drs Seth Silver and Timothy Franz are hear to counsel us in the power of Meaningful Partnership in the Workplace.
Seth Silver's and Timothy Franz's book, "Meaningful Partnership at Work: How The Workplace Covenant Ensures Mutual Accountability and Success between Leaders and Teams" is an absolute game changer. The book is a practical how to manual in how to build these partnerships. It is also filled with example after example of how the "Workplace Covenant" has changed businesses. The book also contains supportive research that further verifies that the "Workplace Covenant" is effective. Look losing people is costing you money. Disgruntled employees are costing your efficiency, which is costing you money. Why not create a partnership that will lead to greater success. All it take is to develop a "Meaningful Partnership at Work"

Most of us do not realize it, but the fact of the matter is most of our behavior is guided by fear and a resistance to change. We are susceptible to FOMO "fear of missing out", or we fear that we may lose what we have. We may jump from relationship to relationship because we have an unconscious fear of commitment, or we may fear we are not loveable. The media uses fear to keep us engaged. Fear can be used to manipulate us and make us do thing we would not ordinarily do. In this episode of A New Direction one of the world's leading franchisors Tom Scarda helps us embrace fear and manage change.
Tom Scarda's book "The Magic of Choosing Uncertainty" is filled with insights on how you developed your unconscious mind and how to change it so that you are thinking the right way. As Tom will teach us our thoughts are in fact currency. And how we spend them largely determines our success. Our thought life and mindset also sets us up to finding opportunity or creating a victim mentality. The question becomes will you take the steps necessary to change and not only embrace and take on the fears that are dictating much of your behavior. Because you will then see The Magic of Choosing Uncertainty.

As a leader we are called to be problem solvers. But we are also called to be great communicators. If we cannot communicate effectively...well...we will not be a leader for long. The part of communication in leadership that is rarely talked about is the "language" of leadership. Yes it is true or language can be affected by our tone, but language can also be the words we use, and how we use them. Language can be found in our authenticity or lack thereof. It also is comes in the language of giving hope and empathy. More importantly it needs to be a language that fulfills your teams needs. Still need help? Leadership Communication Expert Joel Schwartzberg joins us on A New Direction to help you better engage and inspire your team.
Joel Schwartzberg's latest book "The Language of Leadership: How to Engage and Inspire Your Team" is a concise practical language toolkit so that you can literally start working on your language skills. If you are ready to get rid of the "I's" and "It, This, and That", learn to "respond" rather than "react" you will want to tune into this episode and learn "The Language of Leadership".

Do you really know your customer? What percentage of your customers come back to you to do business with you again? Do they love you so much that they tell other people about your business and get you referrals? If you don't like the answers to these questions, or are hesitant to answer these questions, then chances are you do not know your customers as well as you think you do, and they do not like you as much as you thought they did. In this episode of A New Direction World Renown Customer Success Expert Donna Weber explains why your customers are not advocating and returning, how much it costs you when they don't, and gives you a framework so that your customers will champion your business.
Donna Weber's book "Onboarding Matters: How Successful Companies Transform New Customers Into Loyal Champions" dives into onboarding your customers so that they return and tell others about you. As Donna points out, the cost of a new customer is far more than the cost of an existing customer that champions your business. The biggest problem is that we don't understand our customer as well as we think, we ask the wrong questions, and we do not onboard them in a way that they not only stay on board, but want to bring others with them. Enjoy the show and get your copy of "Onboarding Matters".

What does climbing Mount Everest have to do with being an Entrepreneur and a Start-Up Company? Turns out pretty much everything. If you are considering a Start-Up then the truth of the matter is you are on a journey. And that journey is pretty much of a climb that is beset with potential pit falls and altitudes that you have never experienced. In fact if you are an entrepreneur with a Start-Up then you need to know that like climbing Mount Everest you cannot not go straight to the top, you have to sometimes come back to base camp so that you can slowly get acclimated to the altitude if you want to be successful. The truth is if you want to be successful in climbing Mount Everest or a Start-Up you are going to need a "Sherpa" that has been there done that and knows the "ins" and "outs". Well on this episode of A New Direction Helen Yu is your "Sherpa" to help you get your Start-Up to become successful.
Helen Yu's book Ascend Your Start-Up: Conquer the 5 Disconnects to Accelerate Growth is powerful and I believe a must read for any entrepreneur, sales person, business CEO, Start-Up or long time business. The lessons from her climb deal with the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges we all face in business. Here is the key: Ascend Your Start-Up will help you take a step back and reconsider your "why", your brand, your marketing, your team, and your customer. And if you follow Sherpa Helen Yu's advice you will grow and grow to your potential.

I remember working for a Division 1 University and a person that I worked with was frustrated with the younger generation at the time and he said, "They need to get over it! You don't go to fun...You go to work!" Sadly when it comes to work and fun that attitude still seems to prevail. There is mistaken belief that work and fun are like oil and water and the two don't mix. However as Dr. Bob Nelson points out on this episode of A New Direction if you want more productive employees, loyalty, and a place where people want to come to work, then fun better be part of your package. In fact, research tells us that the largest employable group, the millennials are looking for a work environment that is fun. If it isn't. as they say, "we don't have time for that mess" and they get out.
Dr. Bob Nelson along with Mario Tamayo have co-authored this outstanding book entitled, "Work Made Fun Gets Done! Easy Way To Boost Energy, Morale, and Results" The book is literally filled with more than 100 examples of how you can add fun to your work. The fact of the matter is it starts with you as the employee finding ways to make work more fun. Then it goes into the leader, the team, and the organization. You area going to need to put everything you thought about work and fun in the back of your mind, because the research that Dr. Bob has done is sound and will blow you away. Work Made Fun Gets Done! isn't just a clever title it is a fact. If your employees are not having fun at work you more than likely will struggle with profitability and turn over. Get ready because your work/fun session is about to begin.

Regardless of what you do in business it all really comes down to one word...communication. If you are trying to employ your team to do more, it's communication. If you want to overcome a crisis, it's communication. If you want people to buy your product or service it's...wait for it...communication. I think we all know that this is ultimately true, but how much do you really know about being able to communicate your message effectively? Well in this episode of A New Direction we have a gift for you in Matthew Moseley, communications strategist. He has worked in the intersection of public policy, business, and government for decades.
Matthew Moseley's book Ignition: Superior Communication Strategies for Creating Stronger Connections is nothing short of powerful! This is one of those books where Matthew pulls the curtain back and shows you how to carve a message that not only resonates with people you are trying to communicate to, but can also create a movement in the process. Ignition is in my opinion the most strategic, honest, practical communications book on the market. Get your pens, pencils, recording devices ready, because you are going to want to hold on to every word Matthew Moseley is going to say to help you and your message. Ready. Set. Ignition.

The fact is we are all sales people at some point if not most point in our lives. But then there are those people who have made sales their career. It is a profession. But let's be honest it's not an easy profession. The fact is for most people who are not in sales when they hear the word, there can be this yucky feeling in the pit of their stomach and an urge to runaway. Why? Well because the truth is there are really bad sales people who have ruined it for those who are trying to do the right thing by their clients. Alex Dripchak is one of the great ethical sales professionals that joins us on this episode of A New Direction.
Ales Drapchak's book "100 Skills of the Successful Sales Professional" is quite possibly the best book on sales I have ever read. He has taken his own experience from Mercer and Oracle and coupled that with the wisdom of ore than 25 books on sales. This book will literally help you become a better sales person, a more likeable sales person, and a sales professional that can be profitable without taking advantage of the client.

What if you had a had a business where all your people wanted to stay because they loved it so much. In fact it was so good that you never had to really hire anyone because people were running to your door to be a part of what you have going in your business? What does it take to do that? Well it takes a culture. But not just any culture. It has to be such a great culture that people feel that they truly belong. It is a culture that values every member of your work team. A culture that is so great in fact that the employees are committed to do the work because they are self motivated because they see their purpose and how they contribute. They are fully committed. Sound utopian? Think again. Dr. Troy Hall has demonstrated how to make a culture like this work. It is called Cohesion Culture based on his dissertation and we have the fortune of having him here on A New Direction this week.
Cohesion Culture is not just another "culture" book. It literally is a step by step approach that combines the analogies of theater and movies coupled with research that takes you through a 3 Act Play from Leadership, to Culture, to his Talent Retention Model (TRM). So if you are struggling to keep your talent or finding new talent you will want to get Dr. Troy's book "Cohesion Culture: Proven Principles to Retain Your Top Talent" You can learn more by reaching out to Dr. Troy Hall by going to his website: drtroyhall.com

As we are in the very beginnings of the holiday season things can get pretty chaotic. As great as the Holidays are or can be the stress can be overwhelming. We all get caught up into having to put up decorations, making travel plans, making menus, gift buying and the list just gets longer. But it isn't only our personal life that is affected. Quite frankly all of our businesses become affected too. Our employees get the holiday distracted. The motivation level is not the same.

When it comes to our jobs often we feel powerless. Sometimes this occurs because when we work for someone else we believe that we do not have any control over our job. Then there are those who feel stuck in their job, they feel as if they cannot move up or go anywhere. They blame their boss, blame the management, ,blame the ownership, they blame others in general for their lack of motivation or the reason they are in the place they are. The fact is if you feel this way you have lost control of your job. If you want to truly be successful and achieve greater things then you need to "Own Your Job" and that is what Dr. Michael Colburn will teach you on this episode of A New Direction, and how to take the power back in your job and own it.
Dr. Colburn, has spent his career working with organization leaders to implement learning and change to improve performance for both the organization and the individual, and that includes you. Dr. Colburn's book "Own Your Job: Five Tools For Self-Management and Accountability" is a book that can and will change you and your job if you apply the principles. It will start you on the journey to understand that you have the power to control your job, control your future, stop blaming, stop complaining, and start growing.

When it comes to leadership who better than a U.S. Army general is more qualified to talk about it. When you have led thousands of men and women in the midst of brutal, volatile, and dangerous combat, and having to take the responsibility of the lives of all those under his command you better demonstrate great leadership. You not only need to have great leadership knowledge, but you must have characteristics, values, and wisdom that people believe in and want to follow. Major General John L. Gronski (ret'd) is that person, and we have the honor of having him on A New Direction with his book Iron Sharpened Leadership.
General Gronski's book is in my opinion the essential must read leadership book that you must have on your book shelf. The book literally takes you through the building of a great leader. He divides it into three sections: Character, Competence, and Resiliency. It is the foundation of these qualities that he gives us an advanced class in leadership. "Iron Sharpened Leadership" is practical, pragmatic, will make you think, consider your own values, and will change you. General Gronski fully understands that to be the best leader you need to continually train all four of the areas of your being, i.e. the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The fact is if you are not growing in these areas, you are dying. "Iron Sharpened Leadership" will encourage you, but more importantly it will change you!

Owning your own business is exciting. However, when you choose to own your own business you are responsible to make the decisions. And this is where business mistakes happen...in the decision making process.

How do you go from being in debt to owning franchises, owning property and your own business? It all starts with changing your stinkin' thinkin'. Let's face it we all want some sort of success. Or we would like to have even more success. And when is comes to success we have a tendency to look outward. We want to find some "trick", some easy way to find this illusive thing we call success. The fact is there are no "tricks", there are no "fast tracks", there are no "easy" ways, and there is no "pay for success" course. The fact is that when you interact with the most successful people in the world, and you keep your eyes open, "Success Leaves a Clue". And in this episode of A New Direction, Robert Riopel author of "Success Left a Clue" joins us to tell us his "rags to riches" story and give you clues on how you can change the outcomes.
Robert Riopel book "Success Left A Clue: 6 Life Changing Habits to Achieving Your Dreams While Keeping it Real, Relevant & Repeatable" is a success book on mindset and action. Let's be honest with each other for a second so often we think of "intentions", "mantras", and "pledges" as a little "new agey" or as Robert Riopel calls it "Wu-Wu". But wait, we have thoughts everyday concerning our success. We have doubt, we question, we have cynicism, and sarcasm, but think for a second what if your thoughts were more positive? What if you shed the doubt? Could it make a difference? You have to admit to think more positively and being more positively intentional about your thoughts certainly wouldn't hurt...right? And if we practiced getting ride of the doubt and fear and negativity in our mind it certainly would make the world around us better...true? So if we start with the right mindset, then take action on those positive and productive thoughts, does it not make sense that our lives would be better and more successful? Of course it does! It also means that we can better and more positively affect the lives of others! As it keeps perpetuating we see more clues to success...and so then it is true, "Success Left a Clue".

When we think about leadership we typically think of a single person. Some sort of top performer that leads a group of people. However, what if is there is another way to look at it? What if we looked at leadership by going against the grain? Does that sound "rebel"? The truth is we do need a new view of looking at it. After all we do live in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) and is not going to end. And with the pandemic things are going to moving faster with even more uncertainty. We need a different something different, we need something new, we need Rebel Leadership and thankfully Larry Robertson joins us on this episode of A New Direction.
Rebel Leadership: How to Thrive in Uncertain Times is a leadership book like none other. The book is filled with research and interviews of some of the worlds most amazing leaders and how they turned "rebel" when it comes to how leadership can work in an uncertain world. One of the primary focuses of the book is that "Rebel Leadership" is a mindset. It is one that goes against the grain of what we think of when we think leadership, but one that works in a variety of different industries and Larry Robertson has the science to back it up. Rebel Leadership is ultimately shared among the culture. So if you want more stability, peak performance, and greater success in a volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous world...it's time to get rebel...it's time for "Rebel Leadership"

Burnout is a very real condition. Research on burnout suggest it costs companies billions of dollars in revenue as people can no longer function in their job, because they experience burnout. How does burnout show up? Fatigue, irritability, lack of motivation, making more frequent mistakes, not caring about the quality of your work, dread, sickness and many other symptoms. It can be a devastating situation when one experiences burnout. And that what this week's guest on A New Direction, Michael Levitt explains on this episode. Michael Levitt experienced burnout from his job. He had a heart attack that should have killed him, He lost his job, then lost his, house, watched his car get repossessed, and his life turned completely upside down. And now because of his experience and rebuilding his life and career Michael Levitt helps you avoid the negativity of stress.
Michael Levitt's book is entitled "Burnout Proof: How to Establish Boundaries to Avoid the Negativity of Stress". I like to call this a "Direct and to the point" book. It is a little over 60 pages long, and as Michael reveals his story he describes what Burnout is, what the symptoms can look like both from a work and life standpoint. he also provides insights and tips on how to prevent burnout. He even suggests that you do an inventory of your current place of work as you may in fact need a change to protect your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It is a powerful show. So please share it with your friends and give A New Direction a positive review on your favorite podcast listening app.

Most of your life you are going to be in a career. So how many classes through out your life time did you take that truly helped you? Well, if you are like most of us the answer is...zero. When it comes to our career there is little to help us. No one really talks about making a "career plan", or the difference between "leadership and management" and how to navigate those waters, or how to do really good "Networking" versus doing really bad networking. What about working in a corporate environment are you ready for corporate politics? Well thankfully for all of us MIT Instructor and graduate Mark Herschberg is with us on A New Direction to help you navigate these questions and more.
Mark Herschberg's book is entitled "The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You" is the exact same information from his MIT college course on preparing for a career. The Career Toolkit is the most comprehensive, complete and practical guide to starting a career, changing a career, and finding a career. If you know a college student, or someone who is looking to change their career, you need to tell them to purchase "The Career Toolkit". They will thank you for recommending it.

If your people were to be asked the following questions about your business strategy what would be their response?
Can your team members give you a one or two sentence description of how your company distinguishes itself? Can they tell you the top two or three things company must be great at, or must get better at to be successful? Can they tell you how the previous two answers translate into the critical three to five things they must accomplish to contribute to the execution of the strategy?
If you don't like the answers to these questions then execution is going to to be nearly impossible. So, how would you answer these strategy questions:
How crisp and clear is your organization strategy to the people who are responsible for executing it every day? How well can team members at every level of your organization describe their role in executing your strategy? How effectively are you translating strategy to execution to results?
The last question is critical!! Is your strategy producing the results you desire? If the answer is no...thankfully we have Sean Ryan with us on A New Direction to get your strategy into execution so you achieve the results you are looking for. Because without Execution there are no results.
Sean Ryan is the Founder and President of WhiteWater Consulting and the Author of "Get in Gear: The Seven Gears that Drive Strategy to Results" And in this episode Sean Ryan leads us down the road of first of all making sure have a sound strategy, then walk us through the gears that create execution so that you can have the results you had hoped for in your business. Get in Gear is a quick read, full of great questions that will challenge you and your business. Make sure you get your copy today!

Whether you are a Business to Business company or a Business to Consumer company the fact is we all need clients. And that means that connecting with prospective or current clients becomes priority one. The problem is that connecting with others is not easy. In fact, connecting and staying connected will be one of the most difficult tasks that you will undertake in your business. Thankfully for all of us therapist, counselor, and marketing company owner Paul Cowan helps us connect with our clients more powerfully on this episode of A New Direction.
Paul Cowan's book "Connecting with Clients: For stronger, more rewarding and longer-lasting client relationships" is a series of short vignettes that quickly explores through stories, research, and psychology how connecting with our clients can be achieved with much greater success. Let's be honest during every step of the sales process from beginning to nurturing being connected is a business lifeline. The fact is the client can hold many of the cards, but if you do the things necessary to truly build into the relationship it can be a beautiful thing. Paul Cowan uses his wisdom in "Connecting with Clients" by understanding that like any relationship counseling session staying connect, and re-connecting is not always easy but it is worth it!

Everyone wants to be the one leading the charge, but no one wants the real responsibility that comes with it. Leading others sounds great until you realize it is more than a title. Leading is not about you being in charge. Leading is about taking care of others. Demonstrating you care. Showing them understanding and compassion. Leading is not about giving them fish, or philosophizing about fishing, but taking the time to give them the skills to fish. Leading requires character, the ability to motivate, or at least understand others motivations, it is about making the right hire, helping people adjust through change, dealing with emotional fall out and becoming a servant who understand how to be a good steward of your people and resources. When it comes to leading others there is a great deal to consider, but thankfully on this episode of A New Direction Author and Leadership Expert Will Schirmer leads us into becoming more successful when it comes to leadership. William Schirmer's book "The Leadership Core: Competencies for Successfully Leading Others" is literally a toolkit on leadership. Will Schirmehttps://www.willschirmerofficial.com/r has synthesized years of research on leadership and gives you insights into your leadership growth. The book starts with the character of a leader and works it way through issues of motivation, hiring, onboarding, managing performance, servancy and stewardship and so much more! "The Leadership Core" is truly a book that you can use as a reference guide to help you navigate you business or organization whether you are new to leading or have been leading for decades. It is filled with tips and perhaps leadership hacks that will help you in nearly every situation you may come across as a leader.

It has been said that one of the greatest fears that people have is to speak in public. In fact, the fear of dying is less than the fear of public speaking.

The Proverb states, "People without a vision perish". Meaning that without a vision you will wander aimlessly, run wild without restraint, only to be ridiculed laughed at, and life just happens and they wind up with nothing. Most often we think about "vision" when it comes to business, but if you don't have a personal vision it is impossible to lead others. Without a vision, quite frankly you will struggle to lead yourself. If you want to be the best you can be. If you want to achieve peak performance, be more productive, become more profitable, and be a better leader it all starts with your vision. And thankfully former F-16 Fighter Pilot Rob Shallenberger joins us on A New Direction to help us "Do What Matters Most"

The have come up with the Big Three when it comes to your performance and productivity, Vision, Goals, and Weekly Pre-Planning. You may say that there is nothing earth shattering about those three things, but the problem is less than 2% of leaders actually do it, and the one's that do are the most successful. The Do What Matters Most also contains the FREE Be Your Best Assessment www.BYBassessment.com, the FREE Goals and Roles Sheets BYBgoals.com .

https://coachemwayup.com/about-the-authors/lynn-guerin/When it comes to undefeated teams and national championships none were more dominant than UCLA coached by John Wooden. Considered by coaches to be the greatest coach ever John Wooden left a legacy of excellence and success. There was no doubt that his teams were the best. He played a team game even though he had superstars. No one person was ever bigger than John Wooden's entire team. It was that level of excellence that is legendary.

But how can you get your business there? Well fortunately for us Lynn Guerin who journeyed with Coach Wooden the last 20 years of his life is on this episode of A New Direction to help us.

We all sell, but we all do not have sales success. We all do business, but we all do not have business success. Most of us bring home money and whether you do or not we all are not a financial success. Entrepreneur extraordinaire Barry Habib has found success in all three of those areas and he built it from nothing. He found opportunities, which led to another opportunity, which he leveraged into another opportunity, which made him successful and a highly sought after entrepreneur. In this episode of A New Direction Barry Habib returns to dig into some of the strategies and philosophies of sales, business and money. Barry Habib's book is entitled "Money in the Streets" it is a story of his life growing in a home of hard working immigrants struggling to make it. It is also the story of how he discovered that opportunity is just out there if you have some creativity, take risks, and work hard.

If you were raised in Northern Ireland a part of your culture is the pub. If you are Irvine Nugent your dad owned the pub and you were raised as part of a sub-culture. For the Irish the pub is more than a place to drink, it is a place where people gather, all people, regardless of their station in life. It is a place where laughter and enjoyment are embodied. The pub was the place the Irvine Nugent learned about leadership and culture. His father helped him understand as a pub owner (a.k.a. "puplican") that there was a great deal that he could do from a leadership standpoint to enhance the customers and employees of the pub. And it is these leadership lessons that Dr. Irvine Nugent shares with us on this episode of A New Direction.
Dr. Nugent's book Leadership Lessons from the Pub is more than a book about leadership. It is a book that helps leaders understand how by increasing their emotional intelligence that can affect and infect their people. As Lesson#1 so simple states: "You Get to Set the Tone" and as Irvine's father elaborates, "Whatever mood you are in will be reflected back to you by the customers within an hour." This is just a sample of the many leadership lessons that Irvine Nugent provides both in this episode and in "Leadership Lessons from the Pub".

There is no doubt as humans we were made to connect with each other. Yet we typically overestimate our ability to connect. We think to ourselves we are great connectors, when the truth we are superficial. Sales people will talk about how they build "rapport", but "rapport" is not true connecting, it is really a form of manipulation so that you can get what you want. The truth is when we truly make a connection we build mutual identification and trust. When we connect we truly find the person interesting whether they buy from us or not. When we are truly building relationships we are focused on the relationship and nothing more. We need help for sure! That is why on this episode of A New Direction author Barry Moline helps truly CONNECT!
In Barry Moline's book, "Connect! How to Quickly Connect for Collaborate for Success in Business and life" He gives you multiple ways that you can connect with others that will lead to powerful relationships that lead to opportunities for both your business and your life. In this show we even talk about how sales people can use better questions that make them more likeable.

If you are starting your own business or you have been in business for a period of time you need to check in with your branding. When it comes to business branding is everything. Branding is not so much about what you say it is...branding is what your customers say you are. So here is the question: "What do your customers say about your brand?" Have you literally asked them? Or are you like the majority of business owners who just assume they know how the customer feels about your brand. Branding is going to happen whether you are intentional or not. One wrong incident with the wrong influential customer and your branding is going to go down a wrong direction. It is best to be intentional about your brand. If there is someone who knows how to overcome all the obstacles when it comes to branding it is The Tattooed Millionaire Sean Dowdell founder of Club Tattoo and he joins us on this episode of A New Direction.
Sean Dowdell and his wife Thora have written Brand Renegades which is not only a phenomenal story of success when it comes to entrepreneurship, but also weaves great practical wisdom that any business can use to build their brand and grow their business. Upon request from several listeners we spend a great deal of time talking about how to have the right business partner, and avoid the wrong business partner. We also dig into the customer perception and developing your niche and passion. Brand Renegades is a book that you will want to have on your shelf. It will be a great reference tool and also it will inspire you to know that in your ups and downs of being an entrepreneur you are not alone. You can learn more about Sean and Thora by going to Club Tattoo.

CEO's, Owners, Managers, if you think your meetings are awesome you are in DENIAL (Don't Even kNOw I Am Lying). The truth is they are tedious, unproductive, and boring. Most of the people would rather poke themselves in the eye with a fork and go to the hospital than sit in your meetings. Why? Because there is no purpose behind most meetings. They are a waste. Secondly you demand people to attend who have nothing to do with accomplishing anything, so you are wasting their time. The fact is you could have sent them a synopsis rather than have them come. And let's be honest we are all lying to ourselves that by having meetings we are creating a team. Thankfully Dr. Rick Brinkman is on this episode of A New Direction to help us get meetings right or possibly not have them at all! Yes that is exactly what I said...no meetings!
Dr. Brinkman's book entitled "Dealing with Meetings You Can't Stand" is a fabulous insightful look at meetings and why they don't work and why people hate them. He then helps clean them up by thinking about them as flying a plane and all the crew members involved. From the pilot who runs the meeting, to the traffic controllers who make sure the meeting is moving and on point, to the flight recorder who makes certain we are clear on what we met about. "Dealing with Meetings You Can't Stand" also deals with the types of people you inevitably will deal with in a meeting, like the "tank", the "know-it-all", the "think-they-know-it-all", the "grenade" and others. The book is insightful and fun, you will both laugh and start changing your meetings.
My Co-host for this Episode of A New Direction is Ralph Peterson: Ralph Peterson, a US Marine Veteran, Sought after speaker, Author, a Management Development Coach, and the CEO and Founder of #1 Virtual Training Center for Housekeeping Managers in Long-Term Care, doesn’t pull any punches.

It has been said, that we don't have business problems, but we have personal problems that affect our business. And nothing can affect your business, career, and life than relationships. Whether you are looking for one or are in one, our significant other relationships affect our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. When our relationships are great with our significant other the world is a better place and seems much easier to deal with...but...a relationship that is sour can destroy confidence, slash our self-esteem, and cause great distraction. Thankfully the world's #1 Relationship author Dr. John Gray has returned to A New Direction help you and I get clarity.
His latest book "Beyond Mars and Venus" is really Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus Revised edition. Here Dr. Gray explains how our hormones affect every part of our lives. And the activities we do whether they are work, rest, communication, fun, or sex can change those hormones. And when our hormones are out of whack that it is easy for our relationships to be out of sync as well. In this episode Dr. Gray takes us on the journey to understand a women's need to be heard and a man's need to be appreciated. We dig deep into the fact that are hormones can be so out of balance that we can even no longer desire a relationship. Beyond Mars and Venus is insightful and a huge help to any relationship or future relationship.

Could you be more productive? The answer is simply "yes". The fact is there are things in our personal and professional lives that we could be doing differently that could make us more efficient and productive. When we think of productivity so often we think of organization. Yes, organization is important but productivity is more than organization. Sometimes our productivity is affected by our environment, distractions, notifications, having bad habits, an inability to focus, or simply not knowing what tools are available to help us become more productive. Thankfully Productivity Expert and Author Debbie Rosemont joins us on this episode of A New Direction to help you and I with our productivity.
As Debbie will point out to us being more productive starts with our "why". That is why do you want to be more productive? What will the end look like? And what is your motivator for productivity, more revenue, retaining your employees, spending more time with family, or just doing some thing you want to do? Debbie Rosemont's book Six-Word Lessons to Be More Productive is one of those practical quick reads that will challenge you and at the same time change you.

We all know the saying, "time is money", but most of us do not really understand how it applies to our business. What if there was a way to measure how much money time is costing you? Well you do not have to look any further, because on this episode of A New Direction, co-author Sean Fields introduces us to Quantum Lean (QL). So what is Quantum Lean? Perhaps you have heard of "Lean" basically a way of finding waste in business started by the Japanese company Toyota. Quantum Lean is a simplified and yet specific way to find the wasted time in your business and applying specific tools in a creative way to reduce that time so that you become more efficient, more effective, and ultimately more profitable.
Typically lean practices have been applied to manufacturing companies and corporations. But in this episode Sean Fields shows you how you can apply Quantum Lean to every type of business, from Doctor's offices to Real Estate to Movie Theaters to even making your own Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. Quantum Lean will absolutely change the way you look at your business, other businesses, and even your own life so that you can be more efficient and profitable. It is a great read, practical, applicable, and truly a business changer. I can also endorse that you will never look at your business or any business the same after you read it.

Now probably more than every the issue of teams has become in question. Before the pandemic when everyone worked in the office, it was much easier to be a team since we were all sitting in the same room and face to face. But today with the hybrid of people at home and at work teams have become...well...let's just say a bit more difficult. Thankfully Leo Bottary is with us on this episode of A New Direction to help understand that whether we are remote or in the same room, or some combination we can still build high performance teams. How? Well as Leo Bottary says best..."The Power of 'WE' starts with 'ME'". Are you "all-in". because that is who it begins with...YOU!
Leo Bottary's latest book is entitled "Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performance Teams" The book is a beautiful complement of research, experience, and practical application. The forward is by Jeffery Hayzlett and starts the book off right understanding how we often live so disconnected that we have to intentionally get reconnected if we are truly going to be successful. Peernovation points out 5 factors that contribute the most high performance teams:
Having the Right People in the room who share a clarity of purpose Psychological safety. Be committed to being highly productive. Have a sense of personal responsibility/ accountability to the team members. Be led by a servant leader who serves as the steward of the other four factors
The book is an outstanding read, you will love the show!

Whether it is business or life you probably have some sort of strategy, but is that strategy producing the results that you had hoped for? So what is the problem? Is it the strategy...maybe, but probably not. When it comes to getting the results that you want the biggest issue may be your execution. Meaning that everything is in the right place, you have a good plan you just are not doing the behavior necessary to see it through.
So what is interfering with execution? Well, in this episode of A New Direction, world renown consultant and coach Sean T. Ryan CEO of Whitewater Consulting joins us to talk about the 7 gears that need to be executed to get from strategy to results. You are going to love Sean and you are going to love his book..."Get in Gear".

John Wooden was the greatest college basketball coach of all time. He won 10 National Championships and 4 undefeated seasons while at UCLA. Some have even said, that John Wooden was the greatest coach of any sport...it would be hard to argue against him. As great as John Wooden was as a basketball coach he was even a better coach of life. His players loved him, and he invested himself in them. His leadership was legendary and still is today. We are so fortunate to have with us on this episode of A New Direction Lynn Guerin who spent the last 25+ years with coach Wooden up until his last dying words. He worked with Coach Wooden to develop a coaching model for success and leadership. And continues today to coach companies the "Wooden Way".
Along with Jason Lavin, Lynn Guerin have written the book "Coach 'Em Way Up" based on the fundamental principles espoused by Coach Wooden. The book is practical and insightful into the Leadership and success lesson Coach Wooden practiced every single day and taught to his teams. Always the engineer he created his "Pyramid of Success" which would guide him daily and continues to guide others who follow it. The book "Coach 'Em Way Up" is filled with not only tremendous insights, but also work sheets to help you coach yourself (which is the most important person to begin with), and use with your teams. There is also an online assessment that I highly recommend you should take. I took it twice (the first time I was in denial). To access the assessment click on or copy and paste https://www.thejohnrwoodencourse.com/the-pyramid-of-success-assessment-for-individuals and for A New Direction listeners if you use the code "Coach50" you will get 50% off the assessment.

If you talk to the most successful Entrepreneurs in the world you will find that there are many traits that are associated with success. And one of those traits is being undaunted. Being entrepreneur requires you to be perseverant even when everyone else wants you to quit. It means being resilient when you yourself feel like quitting. As an Undaunted entrepreneur you must stand up for yourself, putting yourself out there, believing in yourself, your product or service and not letting circumstances dictate your actions. The fact is if you want success in your entrepreneur life, you need to lead the undaunted life. And that is true of this weeks guest on A New Direction, CEO and Founder of Hint Water Kara Goldin. If there is anyone who has demonstrated that success comes from being undaunted she is the poster child.
Kara's book "undaunted" is a journey from Kara's beginnings of working in a toy store to having an entrepreneurial idea that she could make a sugar free water taste good and be good for you when she started in Hint. As you follow along on her incredible journey she shares with you entrepreneur and success lessons she learned along the way that she applied to her everyday living. And now on A New Direction through her book "Undaunted" she shares with you those lessons so that you can achieve your dream of being an entrepreneur and become the success you were designed to become. Kara Goldin is one of those guests that you will listen to over and over again!

Every business focuses on pretty much the same thing...the numbers, or as we like to say, "the analytics". But like a doctor who can only prescribe medicine for the symptoms, the numbers, or analytics cannot get to the core of your issues and problems. What is more the number and analytics cannot solve your problems. But Creativity can! This is the problem with society in general today. Our schools, teachers and universities focus on left brain analytic training that is focused on getting the right answer...versus getting the most creative solution. The fact is business today is so left brain focus we have a tendency to not hire right brain people. And we certainly do not want to put those "creativity champions" in leadership. But the fact is if you want to be successful, if you want growth, if you want to get unstuck in your business and career there is only one way to get there...creativity. Thank fully creative expert and author of "The Creator Mindset" Nir Bashan joins us in this episode of A New Direction.
The Creator Mindset is one of the most eye opening business books that you will ever read. The fact is we make the mistake of linking "art" and "music" with creativity. But those are only subsets of the creator mindset. If you want solutions to tomorrows problems it will come from The Creator Mindset and not another PowerPoint presentation filled with numbers. Nir Bashan's book "The Creator Mindset" will challenge you...but only if you are open to it and do not shut down your brain. It will open you to the fact that every single one of us has creative ability, but as with most of us we are so focused on the numbers on the left side of our brain our right side creative side is left dormant and in fact starts to wither like a plant without water. Think about this you have two halves of your brain, you have become so focused on using the left half, leaving the right half alone, you are only realizing half of your potential. It's time to relearn how to be creative. It's time to get "The Creator Mindset".

Opportunity is truly all around us. However, so few of us capitalize on them and for a variety of reasons. Sometimes we don't see them because of fear, sometimes we miss them because of our attitude of negativity, or perhaps we miss it because we simply do not have the skills to recognize opportunities. So how do we develop those skills? Well fortunately for us on this episode of A New Direction, multi-talented, multi-entrepreneur Barry Habib teaches you the skills that are needed to not only see the opportunity, but leverage it. It all starts with your mindset. And when it comes to having a positive mindset Barry understands it full well. Born into an immigrant family that could not speak English and had no money, Barry had to learn that no matter what the circumstances that you find yourself in, you always have control of your mindset, your attitude and your effort.
Barry has written what I consider one of the most encouraging, inspirational, and helpful books that will change your life on a personal, professional, and financial level. The book is entitled "Money in the Streets: A Playbook for Finding and Seizing the Opportunity All Around You". Money in the streets is a phrase that means there are opportunities all around us that others are passing by. Here is Barry's take on his book: "If you want more success in your life, if you want greater success no matter where you are, but mostly, if you want to do good for others with your success, then you're the person I want reading this book, because... You have the power to change the world." Get you copy of #1 Amazon Best Selling "Money in the Streets".

According to the National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 7-8% of the population is suffering from this malady. It is often ignored, misunderstood, and often attribute other reasons to the behavior of those with PTSD. For sure those men and women who are or were combat veterans, first responders, and Covid front line workers have the greatest potential to develop PTSD. The statistics for combat veterans that suffer from PTSD is between 11 -20% The fact is not everyone has it, and it looks different in each person who does have it. It surrounds us everyday, but we ignore it. People you work with, people you manage, people that live right next store can be suffering from it, but because of shame and embarrassment they keep it behind closed doors. It affects their job, their spouses, their children, and their friends and family. But thankfully on this episode of A New Direction Author Jen Satterly wife of Delta Force Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly who suffers from PTSD after 20 years of deployment gives you insights and tactics to give you hope for those who deal with PTS...because it truly is not a disorder.
Jen Satterly's book entitled "Arsenal of Hope: Tactics for Taking on PTSD, Together" is a vulnerable look inside at what it is really like to live with someone who has PTSD. She also reveals as a coach to many veterans the journey, and the hard work it takes to make even a small step in recovery from PTSD. And yes people can and do recover. As Jen Satterly explains it is a biological problem from years of training to be an elite fighting machine, meant to protect others and rid the world of evil. "Arsenal of Hope" is powerfully insightful and filled with practical information to help those who have PTSD, and help them get help. Jen Satterly along with her husband Tom Satterly are co-founders of the All Secure Foundation which helps our veterans and first responders overcome their PTSD and find the right resources to help them live the thriving life after the military.

Do you know who stands in the way of your personal, professional and relationship success? You. So often we want to blame our circumstances or other people but the real truth is we are ultimately responsible for the decisions we make, our own happiness, but we are equally responsible for how we respond to what life throws at us. When it comes right down to it, who is most accountable...it's you. And the biggest problem is Mastering You. Meaning you have to find the things in your past and your present that are keeping you from being the person you always thought you could be. Thankfully in this episode of A New Direction we have author/coach/speaker and one of the most insightful people on the planet to help...you. His name is Skip Cummins.
Skip Cummins has had more tragic loss than most people. The suicide loss of an alcoholic mother. The death of a daughter he adopted. Loss of two marriages. Loss of being the CEO of a major company. Loss of his reputation, self-esteem, identity, career, and it goes on and on. However, while at the bottom of the bottom he finds transformation and ultimate triumph. And writes it all down in his outstanding book "Mastering You from the Inside Out". This book is filled with exercises that if you will follow through on them will be opening, life transforming, and start you on your way to taking back control of the one person that can change your future...and that person is...YOU!

Everyone wants to be a manager. They have this erroneous belief that when you become a manager that you have extra benefits and your work is less. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT! There is a reason why there are so many managing jobs out there. One is because in a very short time people realize that the work and responsibility is more. Two, they realize they are over their head and it's hard. But the biggest reason is because when people get a management position they really do not have the skills and know-how when it comes to managing people. Most people when they get into management think they will have the open door, golden rule policies. You know the "do unto others", "I don't expect you to do anything I wouldn't do", "pick and choose your battles" etc. But the reality is those policies never work and managers fail despite their good intentions. Thankfully in this episode of A New Direction Management Trainer, Guru, and friend of the show Ralph Peterson sets us straight.
Ralph's latest book entitled, "The Good Manager: Being Great is Overrated" is on eye opening look at what it takes to be a "Good Manager". Why "good" and not "great" well as he points out using his analogy of the "Rocky" movie series, when we get great we get complacent and we stop doing the things that we did to be great. The truth is you just need to be really good when it comes to managing which means that you have to be consistent and do the hard work that got you to a managing position and continue to do it. "The Good Manager" has a wealth of awesome advice when it comes to managing people. I promise you this many of the things Ralph is going to talk about in the book will shock you, surprise you, but when you start to put it all in perspective, you realize one thing...to be "The Good Manager" it may be simple, but it is not that easy. Oh and one other thing...Never be evil! You are going to love Ralph Peterson!

There is so much written on company and corporate culture that it would be impossible to read it all in a life time. Most of what is written can be classified as "pop culture". We often get clever sayings like, "culture eats strategy for breakfast". But does it really? To start with what is culture when it comes to a company? Do we really understand it? We assume that we control it, but do we really? Is it made up of values? Who's values? Is it employee well being? What does that mean? Can we measure it's effect on business? Can we change it? How?
With all that has been written the truth is we have more questions than answers. What is more the whole field of culture lacks one important dynamic...an empirical scientific approach. That is why in this episode of A New Direction Cognitive Anthropologist Dr. David G. White enlightens us with his scientific insights about what culture really is and how it can be affected as well as the limitations.
Dr White's book Disrupting Corporate Culture is more of an academic book. It is not a lay person's read, but none-the-less it is an important read when it comes to understanding what culture is. Dr. White in this episode helps us break down the jargon, move from the academic view and helps us get a perspective of how we are thinking about culture in the wrong way, dispels the myths and gives us insight into how are brains create culture. So forget what you thought you knew about company culture, because the science of Disrupting Corporate Culture is about open your eyes as to what it really is and the difficulties in changing it.

We all will experience conflict, but how do we handle it? Are you a conflict avoider? Hoping the problem will go away. Maybe you are a conflict enforcer? Where you take control of situation and it is your way or the hi-way. Perhaps your a conflict manager? You just want to manage the conflict not really dealing with the issues in an attempt to smooth it over. There is a better way! And it is called "reconciliation". What does it take to get to reconciliation? Dangerous Love. In this episode of A New Direction Former ESPN NBA analyst and Conflict Specialist Chad Ford joins us again. We talk about why Dangerous Love is not a "Kumbaya" moment. Why Dangerous Love requires truth, mercy, and justice. We even go into specific situations where we ask how do you practice Dangerous Love in an abusive relationship. Dangerous Love: Transforming Fear and Conflict at Home, at Work, and in the World is simply a great book into how we can best handle conflict. The fact is we have to take responsibility for our part of the conflict. We can easily be self-deceived into believing it is the other person's fault. And we neglect to look at how we may have contributed to the problem. Dangerous Love makes us take a close examination of ourselves, remove the emotions, and take action and make the first step toward being reconciled. Great Book!

There was a time when men and women had specific roles in their relationship. Typically the man worked at his job, and the wife stayed at home. While that seems archaic by today's standards the fact of the matter was it actually made the relationship much easier and steadier because everyone knew their role, and as we often say today, "they stayed in their lane".
Today's relationships are much more challenging. More and more couples have their own careers and their own dreams and goals, they try to share not only the financial burden, but the responsibilities at home. While it is what we are accustomed to the fact of the matter is our ability to stay together in the relationship has suffered as we see a higher break up and divorce rate. Why? With all the sharing of responsibility how come it is not producing greater happiness and togetherness within the relationship?
It comes down to our male and female biological differences, mainly our hormones. The fact is men have 10 to 30 times more testosterone then women and women have 10 to 30 times more estrogen than men. We produce both, but when we are out of balance, meaning when men are producing to much estrogen they get stressed and angry. And when women get stressed it is because they have too much testosterone. How does this happen? Because as men and women are both working they are put in position where the women in her job starts producing more testosterone throwing her out of balance, while a man in his job is producing more estrogen throwing him out of balance. The result: A new dynamic in our relationship with each other. What are we to do? Thankfully Dr. John Gray the world's #1 relationship expert (And author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus") joins us no A New Direction to help us get not only our hormones in balance, but also our relationship.
His latest book entitled "Beyond Mars and Venus: Relationship Skills for Today's Complex World" is stellar. It is an eye opening look at how our biological differences, combined with our work, combined with our other relationships affect us both negatively and positively. Dr. Gray also provides solutions to helping your relationships not only grow and thrive, but take it to the next level. "Beyond Mars and Venus" is in my opinion as absolute must read! If you want your relationship to grow and be out of this world, listen to the show, and get your copy of "Beyond Mars and Venus".
The Sponsor of A New Direction are so important to bringing great guests like Dr. John Gray to the show! Please reach out and thank them for their generous support.

Did you that more than 17,000,000 employees this year will experience some sort of loss that will lead to their grief? Meaning that 47,000 employees today are walking into work in grief having experienced some tragic loss in their life. Did you also know that grief costs companies around $75 Billion in productivity loss a year. The fact is friends our leadership is failing those who grieve in our businesses. Most businesses have some sort of a bereavement policy, but what is it 3 days? I cannot imagine losing a child, or the love of one's life and expect to be back at work, much less be at the same productive rate prior to my loss. If you are in
leadership and you have any thoughts in your head like, "well, that's the policy", or "they need to
suck it up", or "that's not my problem"...then you as a leader are the problem. We can do better dealing with those stricken by grief due to tragic loss, and honestly we must do better! In this episode of A New Direction we are joined by two brothers, Guy and Anthony Casablanca. Guy is a licensed mortician and funeral director, and Anthony is a Leadership trainer and consultant. Together they have formed a powerful team to help us lead our employees while they are in grief.
Guy and Anthony have written what I consider to be the quintessential book on leadership and grief entitled, "The Dying Art of Leadership: How Leaders Can Help Grieving Employees Excel at Work". This is an absolute must read for every leader regardless of leadership role in the company. It should be read by every business coach and consultant to better advise their clients. It should be read by every employee as a tool to evaluate the company they work for. The fact is we will ALL experience grief from tragic loss, and how leadership handles it will tell you all you need to know about the people that lead and the organization they represent. The Dying Art of Leadership contains even such practical things as "what and what not to say to those in grief", "the do's and don'ts of leading a grieving employee", and so much more.

There are so many theories on Leadership it can get quite exhausting. In fact Leadership theory is wide and so vast you may find yourself throwing your arms up in the air and saying, "I'm just going to do leadership my way". Well it is confusing. And it causes us to ask more questions, such as: "Is leadership the same as leading?", "Is managing the same as leadership?", "What skills are necessary for leadership?", "Do I have to have a title or position to perform leadership?", and so many more! This makes the ideas of leadership even more daunting. Can we simplify all this in someway? And the answer is YES! Gary DePaul, PhD joins us on this episode of A New Direction with his latest book "What the Heck is Leadership and Why Should I Care?"
What the Heck is Leadership is really a book about breaking leadership down into some basic fundamental principles that are consistent with successful leadership. Is this an exhaustive list? Of course not, but if one were to practice the 7 principles laid about by Gary DePaul you would be much further than the majority of self-proclaimed people in leadership. What the Heck is Leadership anyway is a perfect example that there are actions that we can all perform to enhance our leadership from whatever position we find ourselves in. While the book is not a long read it is a book that will stop and make you consider if you are truly demonstrating leadership from where you are right now and certainly if you have a "growth mindset" ways for you to change.
Our sponsors are so important to A New Direction please do me a favor and just say, "thank you" to them. I am truly grateful for all you who do reach out!

As an entrepreneur we typically are idea people. Some of us are sales people, but it seems like the more entrepreneurs I interview the more I see their creative side than their sales side. Sometimes it appears to be an attitude of, "if I build it, they will come". The truth is many entrepreneur types not only have a problem with selling they have a problem with sales people in general. And sometimes with good cause. For example, have you heard sales people use the word "leads" to refer to human beings. It is a label. And as we know about labels when we place a label on a person we change them from a human to a "thing".
The fact is entrepreneurs need to wear may hats. They are the CEO, the marketer, the sales person, the negotiator, the HR department, the book keeper, and so many roles. Sometimes it is difficult to prioritize and know what is important. Many times our emotions and lack of skills and knowledge can get in the way of our own productivity and profitability. In this episode of A New Direction After Party (chats after the show is over), Steve Brown author of The Golden Toilet helps us figure out some of our own thoughts and beliefs that come with being an entrepreneur.
The book "The Golden Toilet is full of great information for not only the entrepreneur, but also for the sales person, the marketing person, the manager, the CEO and anyone who has a desire to make your way in the right way. Steve Brown having been with us before has become one of the most listened to guests on the show and The Golden Toilet is a book that you should read as part of your 2021 goals for growth.

It is no surprise that men and women are different. Not just our physiology, but how we communicate, handle stress, deal with conflict, the differences we see in relaxing, romancing, sex and more. So often we can go so frustrated with these differences we can live in misery, or eventually we may get to the point where we feel like we made a mistake. And the next thing you know we are ready to call it quits. Hold on! The difference in our marriage relationship is not hopeless, in fact it is normal. The truth is the very thing we love about our spouse is the thing that frustrates us about them. We have to take a different view of our relationship. We have to learn to understand the differences between each other, and once we do we can begin to work with each other as a team, rather than against each other as a potential enemy. Thankfully, Bill and Pam Farrel join us on this episode of A New Direction to help us renew our marriage relationship and not only make it better, but making it awesome.
Bill and Pam talk to us about their book "Men Are Like Waffles and Women Are Like Spaghetti". The book discusses the most important issues like communication, dealing with conflict, the differences in how men and women view romance and sex, how we relax, how we deal with work and so much more! The book is a great read for anyone who is married, is going to be married, wants to be married, or just would like to know the differences in how men and women differ in so many ways in their relationships. In the book you will references to a workbook, with a link while the link may not work you can get the information from the workbook emailing Bill and Pam at info@love-wise.com . Men Are Like Waffles Women Are Like Spaghetti is a great read and it will certainly help you in your relationship with your spouse.

Here are the facts we are in a revolution where artificial intelligence (AI), digital spaces, and technology are speedily influencing our world. So much so that even a seemingly sound career is being affected dramatically. In many cases jobs and careers that were done by humans have been replaced by computers. We are also seeing that many positions salaries have decreased as machines replace humans. What do we do? For some people there is denial, they simply do not believe it is possible for them to lose their career to a computer. For some they believe that the answer is to become a "social media influencer", but the ugly truth is that you cannot even buy a Starbucks coffee with your vast number of followers, or the number of likes from our social media posts. And then there are some who, and perhaps rightful so are in fear and are stuck not knowing what to do. In this episode of A New Direction we are joined by tech transition expert Somi Arian, and she is going to help you navigate the waters of success in your career in this ever fast changing AI digital tech revolution.
Somi Arian's book is entitled "Career Fear: And How to Beat It - Get the Perspective, Mindset and Skills You Need to Futureproof your Work Life". In Somi's outstanding book she provides perspectives solidified by research to get you to critically think how you can first survive this technological surge and then how to thrive. Rather than be in denial, try something futile, or simply live in fear, she offers some practical mindset and behavioral actions that you can take to start right now preparing for the changes that are inevitable. As you listen to this show, you will be surprised how this millennial will challenge you, coax you, and encourage you that there truly is hope, but it is fully up to you to start making those changes. This is a powerhouse show, with a powerful message not only for your career, but also for your life.

When you hear the word ethics and sales they really don't sound like they go together. It is kind of an oil and water thing for most people. As a matter of fact when it comes to business our colleges and universities don't even teach ethics of sales. It is a topic that is rarely if ever discussed and when it is, it's because someone got into trouble over an ethics violation.
When you talk to sales people about ethics you will find what is ethical to one is not ethical to another. When you go to ethics training sessions rarely will they even talk about right or wrong, but that you have to make up your own mind. Finally we have someone who is willing to take a stand on what ethics are and are not. Someone who draws the line between how a customer is to to be treated, marketed to, and sold to. His name is Joel Malkoff, and he joins us on A New Direction and after 45 years of selling ethically and over 500 million dollars in generated sales he tells what ethical selling is and is not and how it can lead to greater profit.
Joel Malkoff's book is entitled, "Selling Ethically: A Business Parable Connecting Integrity with Profits". The book is in fact a parable about a man named David King who goes before a heavenly court to determine if he has been ethical. Example after example is presented with interesting twists. The reader is left with great nuggets of wisdom and a direct understanding of what is right and not right when it comes to sales. One major take away that you will get from Joel is that we need to rewrite "let the buyer beware", but "let the seller beware he must be honest and transparent". It is a mind shift away from the responsibility of the buyer to the responsibility of the seller and the sales person to ensure that they are being upfront and fully disclosing.

We all have dreams of our future. What happens when we put all of our energy, dedication, mind, body and soul are put into it and then you get there and something outside of your control takes your dream away? What do you do? Especially if you have no plan B. Well in this episode of A New Direction Podcast - Jay Izso meet former NFL kicker Sean Conley From the time he was 8 years old he had a dream of being an NFL kicker. He kicked in the back lots of Erie, Pennsylvania everyday even though his high school did not have a football team. He played soccer. Time and time he was met with closed doors, but his resilience would not let him give up on his dream. The odds were certainly stacked against him, people made promises that they failed him but again his resilience kept him going. Finally he gets his opportunity and then the rug gets pulled out form under him time and time again, only to be met with more of Sean's resilience.
Sean's book "The Point After: How One Resilient Kicker Learned there was More to Life than the NFL: Conley, Sean: 9781493042760: Amazon.com: Books" is a testament to one man's resilience only to reach his dream, when he is told that his body at the age of 25 is done, and the dream is over. What now? As he said he felt paralyzed. He was afraid of the unknown. What happens next is a discovery with the help of his wife Karen of a better plan that was so unexpected that he finds joy and fulfillment that he realizes he would not have experienced if he would have been a long term NFL kicker. The book is an amazing journey that will inspire you, motivate you, and give you a perspective that just because the original dream is over beyond your control, that another avenue and opportunity opens up to each of us if we are willing to grasp it and see the beauty of the gifts we are given. Great book! One that will make you cry, laugh, and consider your own perspectives.

Relationships. It really is what makes our life...life. Where would we be without them? Well, first of all you and I would not have been born so there's that. But, our relationships do add spice to life, and in fact we relate to not just people, but animals, places and things. If you are married or have a significant other then you know how our relationships can affect us on the other person, if you have a sibling, there too, your relationships ebb and flow. If you have children, grandchildren, parents, friends, neighbors, colleagues at work, all of these relationships have some affect. So, how do we make the best of them and at the same time allow them to affect us in a positive way. Enter author/writer Beverly Mann Lessard on this episode of A New Direction as she takes us through some insights into relationships and how we can best deal with them.
In Beverly Lessard's book Relationships she gives us snapshots, glimpses, and slices of her relationships. And in every slice there is a moral to the story, a point that when it's done you must evaluate yourself and decide if you are majoring on the minors and minoring on the majors. Beverly is absolutely and totally vulnerable from her marriage to her grandchildren to the Dunkin Donuts people who know her by name and hand her Hazelnut Decaf Black coffee, to dealing with a baby ground who is eating her flowers and attacks her broom as she tries to shoo him away. Relationships as you can imagine are filled with warmth, joy, laughter, and ups and downs. A book I promise will lift your spirits.

"Build me a website, that's what we need to have a successful business". Then what happens? They continue to spend money on website design, SEO, and other IT initiatives only to do one thing...run out of money. That marketing philosophy is the "if we build it, they will come". Like something out of the movie "Field of Dreams". The only thing you get from that strategy is an endless black hole of pouring money into a tool that never produces the return on investment that you hoped. And There must be a better way! And there is! In this episode of A New Direction meet Steve Brown. He has been changing the thinking of entrepreneurs all over the world, and helping them develop a "GrowthStack" system that will fundamentally change the way you spend your money on marketing and the way you are thinking about it.
Steve Brown has written a fun, edutaining book entitled, "The Golden Toilet: Stop Flushing Your Marketing Budget into Your Website and Build a System that Grows Your Business". The book is funny, but it makes a huge point. You need to have a system made up of four priorities: Clear Messaging, Marketing Automation, Sales Automation, and Strategic Campaigns. Steve explores each of these areas, uncovers the traditional mistakes that businesses often make, what to do instead, and offers a wealth of successful insights that will change the way you do business and become more profitable. The Golden Toilet is not an anti-website book. It is a book filled with alternatives that will help you become more empathetic toward your customer, relate to them, maintain them over time, and create loyal fans that come back for more and will tell their friends. Now what business doesn't want that?

Success we all want it, but we often do not want to pay the price for it, or hear the answers on how to ultimately achieve it. So often we think that success is a by product of getting the right breaks in life or business. Some believe that success is just given to people. Others believe that if you focus on success you will become successful. However, when you start talking to combat veterans and hearing their stories, and you extract the lessons you come to realize something more. Success comes from two very unique processes: One is deliberately getting uncomfortable doing things that you do not want to do, but doing them anyway on purpose. The second and perhaps the most important process is to have a mindset of serving others. Both are counterintuitive to what we typically believe but as we will here from Green Beret Major Jason Van Camp in this episode of A New Direction it is the formula that consistently works.
Jason Van Camp has compiled a book of combat veterans who served our country in a variety of combat circumstances. Many of these combat veterans lost body parts, their military career, and almost their lives in an effort to ensure that the mission would be successful and serving others in the process. The award winning book Deliberate Discomfort is a phenomenal and insightful look at the lives of amazing veterans and their stories and the practical application that applies to your life, your career, and your business. Deliberate Discomfort is going to make some of you uncomfortable, but it is exactly that discomfort and counterintuitive mindset that will change your life and business.

We need to be honest with ourselves our world has changed. It moves at an incredible pace, and as technology continues to move our problems become more complex and challenging. How we choose to think about and solve those problems must also change. Here is the problem: We live in a world that has a bias of binary thinking, eliminating the gray are of possibilities, and only wants to rely on rules and logic. Logic sure sounds good, but the problem is when we are dealing with people and ideas, logic limits our ability to truly think "outside of the box", because we are inside the box or as Francis Cholle calls it the "Square". If we truly want our thinking to solve today's fast paced complex problems we must have "Circle" thinking. The type thinking that is not so rigid, is without rules, and non-rational. Note: not rational or irrational but another category, the non-rational. Typically we try to put the "Circle" inside of the "Square" to keep those thinking types under control. However, when we allow the "Circle" outside of the "Square" the circle actually give the "Square" room to exercise it's best qualities.
In this episode of A New Direction Author Francis Cholle introduces us to Squircle (Square inside the Circle). A New Way to Think for a New World. The truth is "Circle" thinking has been with us forever, but because most businesses and organizations run as "Squares" that desire to exercise control, maintain status quo, employ rules, and operate on a system, they have little tolerance, acceptance, and typically ignore those of us who are "Circle" thinkers that offer a thinking solution that solves the most complex problems. The fact is we all have a little Square and Circle in us, but we do not exercise our internal Circle because we will not let go of our desire for control, or the ramifications we receive for our Circle thinking. Squircle is a great read and Francis Cholle has done a masterful job of getting us to open our eye to the fact that perhaps our reason for not being as successful as we could be is our lack of Circle thinking.

So what can you say about a real estate company that has spent more than 35 years at the top of their game?

That's because Linda and her team continue to believe that every person and every relationship is important, not just now, but even in the future. It is why she is devoted to continually adding value to her clients and community by serving them in ways that matter...it is also why are clients say, "Linda has legendary customer service!" When it comes to real estate start with the legends start with Linda Craft & Team, Realtors - www.LindaCraft.com
Conflict is something we all face. It comes in many different forms, and the truth is it makes us all uncomfortable. At the heart of conflict is the fact that one party is not getting what they want and the other party is not getting what they want. We basically turn our backs to each other, we talk about the other party behind their back, we gather allies to support our position and the conflict spiral only gets bigger. Then comes the point that while in our conflict with the other person or group we no longer see them as people but we see them as an object. They lose their humanity and become an "it". And when that happens getting rid of, or dare we say killing conflict is no longer easy. For many of us we go into conflict avoidance mode hoping that it will resolve itself, but the truth is avoidance is based on fear. And one fear for certain is that if we move first, we become vulnerable and we create a narrative that we will be taken advantage of and the fear of conflict keeps us from ultimate reconciliation.
In this episode of A New Direction Author and International Mediator (Yes, former NBA analyst at ESPN) helps break the chains of conflict with his outstanding book Chad Ford entitled "Dangerous Love". When we think of the word "love" we think of being soft, passive, giving in, weakness, and being run over. Dangerous Love is nothing like it. When Chad Ford talks Dangerous Love he is talking a type of love that requires courage, that requires action, but ultimately requires us to see people as in "it" or "object" to a human who too is also suffering. Is it risky, you bet! Does it put you there, absolutely! But in his research and experience it is the most effective way to not only overcome the conflict, but kill it, to the point reconciliation which the goal of getting past our conflict. Great Read!

You may or may no be acquainted with "Lean Transformation" or "Lean Management", but the truth is you more than likely employ some of the principles. Lean management is a business wide thought process that starts with what you customer really wants and needs, then engages the employees and leadership to find ways to make that happen, by cutting waste whether that be time or processes. It also enlists the idea that every day in every part of your business you are striving to be a better version of yourself than you were yesterday, also known as "kaizen". No wait before you don't think this has anything to do with you or your business, or you think that it only applies to manufacturing products you would be wrong. The fact is that "Lean Transformation" can even work in the service industries, such as real estate, financial, and insurance. If you think for a moment that the Lean Trilogy of "Customers, Employees, and Shareholders" are the basic starting blocks, well then, "Lean" can apply to any business.
In this episode of A New Direction, Mark C. Deluzio the Principal Architect of the Danaher Business System and considered the "Father of Lean Accounting" joins us to talk about his book "Flatlined". This book is powerful. Look even if your business does not use "lean", the principles outlined in this book are eye opening moments where you want to learn more. The show is packed with ideas and thoughts that will help you transform your business and if you are not careful you will not just think lean you will be "lean". Mark gives us bonus time on this show to go a bit deeper on Lean Leadership, the Naysayers that make up 10% of your company and what to do about them, and then as part of his new direction he talks about success in your career. Tell your friends this is a great show!

Let's say you are in the middle of a war. You have an enemy that wants to destroy you. Not only do they not care about you they want to take everything from you. How do you go about your mission to defeat the enemy? Do you just wake up one morning and figure it out as you go? Do you find a bunch of people you think can help you and go and attack? What do you need? What does the enemy have? How many of them are there? What are the conditions? What are the pitfalls? What are your assets? The fact is if you are going to be successful in a military mission you have to answer a whole number of questions before you start. And that is the way we should be thinking about our business. Shouldn't we treat our business and business plan the same way? Michael J. Penney doesn't just believe so...he is convicted by it!
In this episode of A New Direction author and creator of the 5 Paragraph Business Plan Michael Penney takes us through why we need to think of our business as a military mission and apply military tactics. You say, "that's too extreme". Really? You have the potential to lose everything! Why not have business plan that is run like a military mission to give you the best chance of being successful? Michael J. Penney is a combat Marine veteran. He knows what it takes to not just survive the enemy, but to come out successful. In his 5 Paragraph Business Plan you will learn that your enemy is not your competition, it is not people, your enemy is the NEED your potential customers are hoping you will fulfill in your business and business plan. As Mike and I also talk you may find that as you develop your business plan...you don't have the right people to help you successfully complete the mission. And at the end of the day we all want to be able to say one thing in our business..."MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

No one wants to admit it. In fact we get defensive when accused of it. In most cases we go into denial and rationalize it. What am I talking about: Bias. The fact of the matter is bias comes with being human. Every single person in the world has bias. You in fact are biased! Did you notice how you felt as you read that? You are biased. It may have made you mad. It may have had a "knee jerk" reaction of "no I am not!". You may have wanted to stop reading. That's how powerful bias can be. Hold on, before you stop reading on, let me explain that bias is a built in mechanism in our brains that actually has some value. In side our brain more toward the middle of it actually are these physical structures called the amygdala and the hippocampus. They are built in to help us deal with potential danger and memory among other things. As we develop a life time of memories these structures turn on as we encounter different people and situations to help us quickly deal with the issues at hand. The problem is that we will find that we are more often wrong that right when it comes to our judgement and what we thought was dangerous, was in fact a false perception.
In this episode of A New Direction Howard Ross helps us not only understand how we develop our biases, but how we can over come them. In his book "Every Day Bias: Identifying and Navigating Unconscious Judgements in Our Daily Lives" Howard not only explains how we get to become biased, but then the complicated challenge of changing our bias. By the way if you think logic is the answer to changing someone's bias...think again...logic doesn't work and Howard explains this in his book. So what does it take to change ourselves and our bias? Take a listen to the show, you will find it both enlightening and informational. But I will tell you this as Howard Ross says over and over again...the first thing is stop beating yourself up with guilt for feeling biased because guilt doesn't change you it only distresses you.

We all want to achieve success. And success can mean different things to each one of us. But, I would venture to say that to the vast majority of you reading this right now, that at least on some level success has something to do with your financial situation. For example, if success is being able to retire on a beach, well, that is going to take money. If success is having a boat and travel, it will take money. Here is the problem for so many, we do not fully understand what it takes to truly be successful. There is a wide spread myth that continues to spread that people are given their success...and that is simply a falsehood and narrative that deceives people and keeps them from achieving the level of success they could. And in this episode of A New Direction Marques Ogden, former NFL athlete joins us to set the record straight when it comes to success.

Everyone wants to be happy. As humans we will avoid pain at all costs for our own happiness. But for most people happiness is an elusive mistress. We try to define our happiness with things, stuff, fame, fortune, money, relationships, but at the core of it all those are all externals. Real happiness comes from with in ourselves. When we start filling something internal with something external, it is like applying a band-aid on forehead for a brain injury. It really doesn't make sense. That is because things, and people cannot bring us happiness, in fact, happiness starts with you!
In this episode of A New Direction Performance Coach Loree Bischoff discusses her book "Common Sense Happiness". She helps us understand that all that we need for real happiness we have complete and total control over. It starts with our thinking. Knowing that we have the power of changing our thoughts. And when we change our thoughts we can change the way we feel. After all if we have thoughts and emotions that can make us feel sad and depressed we can control our thoughts and our emotions to feel happy. It comes down to holding ourselves accountable, taking control, liking who we are, and taking action. Loree Bischoff and "Common Sense Happiness" will blow you away with the practicality and application to change the way you are thinking, feeling, and doing life. In the end, you will walk away knowing you choose your happiness. And check out her podcast, "We're Talking Shift".

Our work life has changed. Most all of us are working remotely. That means most all of us are now using a technology called Zoom. As cool, convenient, and amazing as Zoom is, it does present some occasional challenges. Such as making sure it is reliable. And as Zoom continues to add features are you in fact getting the most out of it? That is are you doing what is necessary to eliminate distractions, how is your audio, video, lighting, Is there a protocol to Zoom meetings and so much more!
In this episode of A New Direction a team of technologist and users actually used a Zoom call to give you a step by step and best practices book to help you navigate the sometimes muddy waters of Zoom meetings. Led by Expert John Paul Mendocha the team wrote the book on Zoom entitled, "Remote Work for a Better World". John Paul Mendocha takes us through many of the considerations that you should be thinking through as you conduct Zoom meetings, webinars, interviews, consulting and coaching projects and more. Remote Work is a quick read, but one chock full of valuable information!

Drs. Tara Peters & Cathy Bush (The Leadership Doctors ) & Authors of The Demotivated Employee
Often as a executive coach I am asked the question, "How do I improve employee motivation?" or "How do I motivate this employee?". In fact, it is really the wrong question, because your employees are motivated, but there are things in your business environment that have "demotivated them". The reality is you cannot motivate anyone, but you can remove the obstacles or impediments that are interfering with their productivity and performance and their motivation. The truth is you as the leader have to find out what those things are that are demotivating your people remove them and your employees will give you all they have and more. The problem that hinders that advice from being taken? YOU may be the problem! Meaning you as the leader may need to change, and let's be honest change is difficult.
In this Episode of A New Direction for the first time both co-authors join the show. Dr. Cathy Bush and Dr. Tara Peters discuss their book "The Demotivated Employee", and I must say this show is a winner! We are going to talk about a leaders reluctance to change, the 5 areas that demotivate employees, the times when the employee in fact needs to make a change because they are in the wrong culture, and so much more! The Demotivated Employee is a fundamentally foundational book that should be read by every business owner, CEO, and employee, it will change the way you look at motivation and if you apply the principles you will have far less motivation problems.

The truth is they do and on this episode of A New Direction Psychologist Dr. Thalma Lobel from the University of Tel Aviv talks about all the little things that you do not even recognize that are affecting you.
Dr. Lobel's new book entitled "Whatever Works" is a practical yet research driven book that will clearly demonstrate that the little things you and I take for granted in our environment and habits, can have a huge impact on our behavior, negotiations, our colleagues, relationships, our businesses and more!

The easiest thing for us to do as leaders is rely on what worked in the past. But let's be honest there is not guarantee what we have done in the past will produce success in the future. We also need to face the reality that as businesses change, younger generations, enter our businesses, our leadership needs to be more fluid, adaptable and innovative. As a leader you cannot expect your business to change if your leadership doesn't change. This is the insanity of leadership. Doing the same things you have always done as a leader and expecting things to change among your followers. It simply never works. So what do we need to do? Take your leadership to the next level.
Maureen Metcalf joins us again on this episode of A New Direction. Maureen Metcalf, is the Founder, CEO, and Board Chair of the Innovative Leadership Institute. She is a one of the most sought-after experts in anticipating and leveraging future business trends and leadership to transform organizations. She is also the author of the book the "Innovative Leaders Guide to Transforming Organizations". As Maureen so adeptly points out any change that is going to occur is going to start with leadership. However, leaders will not change unless they have the awareness that they need to change. This is not always easy. That is because leaders are in fact human. And as humans go we do not like change. What is worse we are often reluctant to change ourselves. It can also be a challenge for us as leaders to break our old habits and replace them with new habits. The question as leaders we need to ask ourselves is: How Innovative do I want to be and am willing to be? Depending on your answer will determine quickly if you are in fact going to transform your organization. Innovative Leaders Guide is a great read for anyone in leadership. Whether you have been leading for one year or a hundred, it will be a great tool in your leadership tool chest.

Are you someone in leadership? Well the truth is we all are leaders in some way. So much has been written about leadership. How to be a good leader. How to be a more effective leader. It seems however, when it comes to leadership and philosophies of leadership so many say very similar things. As leaders we often are looking for the "golden carrot". You know that thing that we can waive around that will induce our employees or people to be motivated to follow and be committed. However, rarely is it stated that loving your people can be an extremely and perhaps the most effective way to lead. WORD OF CAUTION: Just because we say "love" does not mean being "soft". As a matter of fact when you truly love your people you expect discipline and accountability.
Co-author Gary Heil (pronounced HILE) joins us on this episode of A New Direction. Gary and his son Dr. Ryan Heil have written a book that will challenge your belief system when it comes to leadership "Choose Love Not Fear: How the Best Leaders Build Cultures of Engagement and Innovation that Unleash Human Potential." Gary and I discuss what is leadership of love, we also talk about the age old question...How do you motivate your employees? (You may be surprised by the answer). Gary also shares with example after example of the different businesses and business people he has coached and consulted. He also talks about how much he learned from Dabo Swinney the Champion head football coach of the Clemson Tiger football program and how that influenced him in understanding why when you Choose Love and Not Fear that it is a recipe for champions. So much to learn and so much to glean from Gary, the book and the show!

Hey...do me a favor and please tell your friends to subscribe on their favorite podcast platform and give us a 5 star rating we are so grateful when you do!
Our beliefs are so powerful. What we believe determines our outcomes. If you believe that you cannot do something, guess what you won't. If you have a belief system that believes the worst is going to happen, you will only see the worst. If you have a belief system that believes opportunity is around every corner, you will see opportunity at every corner. The most successful people in the world have a belief system where they are convinced they will always be successful. They don't try on their beliefs like a pair of jeans and then take them off, it is a permanent state of mind. This is why even in the current situation we find ourselves in, there are people who are thriving, not just surviving. They are seeing possibilities not problems. It begs the question: What are your beliefs? And is it working for you?
In this episode of A New Direction, International Best Selling Author, Speaker, and Coach Gina Gardiner returns to the show with her book Thriving Not Surviving. But this time we dig a deeper into 2 of the 5 areas that will help you make better choices and help you not only overcome the challenges, but create success regardless of your situation. Gina, digs deep into how a belief transformed the running world. And once that person believed so did so many others when it came to breaking the mile running records.
Gina also starts on the power of love and how it is not just for romance, but can take your business to new heights of success. And finally a brief discussion on the power of real optimism. Please check out her Thrive Together Tribe by going to thrivetogethertribe.com

One of the biggest mistakes most people make when they start a new business is that they try to be everything to everyone. And in essence they become nothing to no one. What we really know is that we will always be more successful with a smaller specific group of people that respond to our message. Some people want to become "famous", so they use social media to make themselves famous. The reality: They may be famous in terms of likes and shares, but they are not profitable. The truth is if you want to be truly successful and profitable, you want to be MicroFamous.
In this episode of A New Direction, Matt Johnson takes us through the power of being MicroFamous and what the means for you, your company and your profitability. Matt explains to us that people are searching for leaders, true influencers that they want to listen to and buy from. And in his book MicroFamous: Become Famously Influential to the Right People Matt Johnson takes you through the steps of ensuring you have a clear & compelling idea, knowing your specific group of people you influence, and then building your New Media Marketing Machine. The results of being MicroFamous? A Win-Win for both your clients and you, which includes high profits for you. Listen to the show and tell your friends. This is one of those eye opening shows that will change the way you think and change your business to more profitability.

Linda Craft & Team, Realtors, for 35 years Linda has been building relationships with people one person at a time. And today she and her team are still building real lasting relationships with her clients. They fully understand that the power of the home you own is the memories you make in your home. While you may forget the details of the construction of the home, you will never forget all the significant events that made an impact on your life. It is that dedication to relationships with her clients that continue to keep her at the top of the real estate charts, why her clients refer her and her team, and why they say LCT has "Legendary Customer Service". Why not check out the Legends of relationship....go to www.LindaCraft.com
Everyone things they are right. It is there way or the wrong way. And we cannot disagree any longer, you have to be on one side or the other. So what do we do? We try to influence people by telling them how misguided they are, how wrong they are, we shame them, guilt them, we call them names, we label them, we put them in categories, and if they still continue in their ways we shun them publicly on social media. And we think by doing all of this that we are influencing people. The fact is we have not influenced anyone. We have not won anyone over, in fact we have drawn the line. Instead, we feel safely tucked with our "we agree with you friends" who are cheering you on making you further believe that what you are doing is the "right" thing. But in reality it only separates us further. In this episode of A New Direction world famous psychiatrist Dr. Mark Goulston joins the show and practically and powerfully demonstrates with me how "Real Influence" works. He demonstrates to you that it is possible to completely get someone to remove their own anger and frustration and get them to help you accomplish the tasks that are the best for everyone. The book, "Real Influence" is powerful in it's own right. It truly focuses on helping you get of "How do I get someone to do...?" To "I need your help to ". Dr. Goulston demonstrates how to move us from "our here' to "their there"...and once you see and feel the power of it, you will become a true...no...a Real Influencer.

EPIC physical therapy, they are my physical therapists and here is just one of the reasons why. It's not the cutting edge equipment, it's not that they are certified in the latest therapies, and it's not that professional athletes use them, no, the reason I go to EPIC is because I know that they are going to design a customized treatment program specifically for me, and they care enough to make certain I follow through with it. That's why I go. And you can expect the same, so when you are ready for EPIC relief, EPIC recovery, and EPIC results go to EPIC physical Therapy. www.EPICpt.com
Linda Craft & Team, Realtors, for 35 years they have been helping people all over the world protect their dreams and make new ones. Let's be honest, most people will never think about the price of the home they purchased and sold...but we all will think about the memories that were made in that home. The powerful emotions that were in that home. Because at the end of the day that is what makes the home. The memories and the emotions of those memories. Linda Craft and her team continue the tradition of being the "memory makers" by giving the home you are ready to sell the marketing and attention it deserves, and the new memories when you purchase your next home. When you are ready for your memory head on over to www.LindaCraft.com
There are so many philosophies when it comes to business. However, when science gets involved and the numbers start demonstrating that that in reality just a few primary components leads to success that's a game changer. We have all heard of Soft Soap, but did you know that the reality is that liquid soup was patented in the 1800's, but it wasn't until 1980 that it was finally being used. So by now the patent had run out. What do you do to keep other people from entering the liquid soap market or at the very least make it difficult for them? Well what Minnetonka (owner's of Soft Soap) did was since they could stop other companies from producing liquid soap, they would just buy all the pumps for the soap in the world! Yes, in the world! So if you are someone else you have a ton of liquid soap, but there are no pumps...that is what Dr. William Putsis refers to as "The Stick" - That strategic control point that gives you a market advantage and ultimately leads to more profits.
In this episode of A New Direction, Dr. William Putsis, one of the nations leading economists, and best selling author of "The Carrot and The Stick: Leveraging Strategic Control for Growth" takes through the power of have a strategic control point ("the Stick") and understanding the power of employing incentives to both suppliers and customers in your business ecosystem. Does it all sound a bit overwhelming? Don't let it, Dr. Putsis provides example after example to help you understand how to apply these principles to your business so that you can create leverage in your market and obtain greater profits. The Carrot and the Stick not only a powerful read, it will be one of the best investments you can make for your business.

You may be thinking to yourself, I am to young to retire. Wait! Perhaps right now you are not thinking about retiring. But regardless of your age you should think about it. Most of us have dreams of one day stop working and do the things we want to do. Maybe it's traveling, playing more golf, spending more time with a hobby, volunteering, serve full time in missions or the ministry. Sure you think about the financial needs it may take to retire, but how about your emotions. Have you thought about the adjustments you will have to make?
In this episode of A New Direction writer and multiple published author Beverly Mann Lessard talks to us about some of the things you should consider before you retire. Beverly took it upon herself to conduct research with hundreds of people, researching famous individuals thoughts on retirement and her own experience in her book, "Are You Emotionally Ready to Retire". The book is an eye opening read, and will give you several things to consider. You will undoubtedly fall into one of three groups, the "Never Ready", the "Always Ready" and the "Will Be Ready" to retire. Yet it does not matter which group you think you may be in right now, life has a way of changing our plans. Beverly is a great guest, "Are You Emotionally Ready to Retire" is a quick read, and the show will make you really think about your future.

We all want to achieve success in our life. And we all have probably sought advice on how to achieve it. Most of the time we will hear phrases as "just work harder", or, "focus on the details", or, "get clearer on your goals". All of that sounds great, but what if there is another way. What if it wasn't about working harder? What if success could be achieved with less stress? Sure, we have to put in the work, but what if success could be achieved through changing your brain, and thinking, changing your views on goals, living more healthy, choosing your attitude, and changing your inward and outward energy.

Dr. Joseph Luciani Best Selling Author Unlearning Anxiety and Depression on A New Direction
When it comes to anxiety and depression the one thing is for certain, they can be paralyzing to the people who experience it. And the truth is at one time or another we will all experience both during our lifetime. But what if I told you that Anxiety and Depression (at least the mild to moderate forms) were a habit? A learned thought pattern and set of behaviors that are more like reactions to control the insecurities that we have learned since our childhood. And one fact is for sure anything that has been learned can be unlearned.
In this episode of A New Direction, psychologist Dr. Joseph Luciani takes us through his successful methodology of helping clients overcome their anxiety and depression. In his book Unlearning Anxiety & Depression: The 4-Step Self-Coaching Program to Reclaim Your Life, Dr. Joe takes us through how the brain can actually change as we learn and unlearn specific habits. Especially those prevailing thoughts that seem to intrude on us that we try to do all sorts of things to distract ourselves from. In Unlearning Anxiety & Depression, Dr. Joe describes a self-coaching, mind-talk technique to take on our child-reflex habit loops, build self-trust, and ultimately take that leap of faith and resolve to help us live a truly free life and live it in the present. Even if this show isn't for you...share it with a friend.

Jason Romano Spectrum Sports - Former ESPN Producer
There are so many around us who have lived a life with an alcoholic and abusive parent, or spouse. Perhaps you have been the abuser, maybe you are still living a life of abuse. Abuse does not have to be physical. Sometimes the abuse is verbal. A mean spirited lashing out. But the truth is abuse can be in many forms and those who are being abused can fall into a victim mentality. How do you move forward? How do you heal? The fact is the anger and the pain is real, and that's okay...but you cannot stay there forever. If you want to get through it you have to Forgive to begin the process, yes I said process of forgiveness. Yes, we must forgive if we truly want to live a free life from the pain.
No one knows this better than former ESPN producer Jason Romano, for 17 years Jason worked for the world wide leader in sports on such programs as Game Night, Monday Night Football, College Game Day, and more! However, his life from the time as a little boy to his work with ESPN was be riddled with an alcoholic father that would verbally abuse him every time he would drink. A father that missed his graduations, his marriage, his own parents anniversary because drinking consumed him. In this episode of A New Direction Jason Romano takes us through his life of Live to Forgive: Moving Forward When Those We Love Hurt Us. We even talk about the reconciliation that is still occurring with his father today who has been sober for going on 7 years. Live to Forgive is not only a great story it will inspire you and change you from victim to victor.

Maj. Jason Van Camp, Green Beret (ret'd)
When it comes to Special Operating Forces there is a phrase commonly used, "embrace the suck". The idea that you are in the midst of horrible circumstances you have to decide if you are going to make through this adversity, you have to sit in the middle of this discomfort so that you can come through it in the end. Now let me ask you this, if you want to be Leadership and be successful will you deliberately choose discomfort? Or are you trying to find a way around the uncomfortable so that you can do only what you like to do. The fact is if you look at the most successful leadership in the world and our military special forces they intentional choose the difficult course. Why? Because success is about doing the hard things, the things you don't want to do, doing the things you hate, and using that energy as a catalyst to propel you to even greater success.
Green Beret Major Jason Van Camp (ret'd) joins on A New Direction discussing the elements of "Deliberate Discomfort: How U.S. Special Operations Forces Overcome Fear and Dare to Win by Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
" to propel you to become a greater leader and enjoy greater success. The book is one story after another of men that Jason interviewed before taking his first command. These men endured some of the most grueling conditions, suffered under fire, some were shot, lost limbs, blown up, and had to make incredible decisions to not just take one more step, but decide if they wanted to live. The choose to embrace "the suck". In order to survive and thrive they chose Deliberate Discomfort.
In addition to his work as the director of Mission Six Zero Jason Van Camp also serves as the leader of a non-profit organization called Warrior Rising empowers U.S. military veterans and their immediate family members by providing them opportunities to create sustainable businesses, perpetuate the hiring of fellow American veterans, and earn their future.

How many times have I been asked, "how can I motivate my people"? It is question that is asked of every coach. As a coach we typically do not give an answer because we know you are not ready to hear the truth. And even if we were to tell it to you, you not only have a reluctance to believe it, but you also get angry with us when we say it. And that is what Dr. Tara Peters and Dr. Cathy Bush have answered that question in their book "The Demotivated Employee". Here is the answer that they so brilliant explain in the book. Ready? It's the wrong question. It's not how do you motivate your employees, it is how you stop demotivating your employees! Ouch!

We have all had to deal with "difficult people". You know those people who have certain behaviors that can just annoy, unnerve, or even anger us. We are talking about those people you just can't stand. And they show up in a variety of ways. Sometimes they come directly at us with explosive anger (the "Tank") and then as soon as the blasting is over, it is over. Or maybe it's the person who while you are giving a presentation out of no where give you that snide, sarcastic remark (the "Sniper"). Perhaps yet it is that person who has just enough knowledge to be dangerous, but really doesn't know what they think they know (the "Think-I-Know-It-All") Which ever one you run into the fact of the matter is they are difficult people, you don't want to deal with them, but the truth is you need to deal with them.
In this episode of A New Direction, Co-Author of the book "Dealing with People You Can't Stand" Dr. Rick Brinkman joins us again for "The Revenge" Show.

Change is inevitable, but in today's world change comes at us at an accelerated pace. This means that businesses and organizations must be able to transform. How does a business do that? Well it starts with the leader. There must a leader that first must transform before he business can transform. If I were to ask you the question do you want to be a better leader, your response will probably be "yes"...but what does a better leader look like? Well it really starts by understanding what "leader type" are you. Or in another words what is your "Leader Personality Type"? For most leaders they are probably not even sure what that is. That's where Maureen Metcalf can help.
In this episode of A New Direction CEO and Founder of the Innovative Leader Institute and author of "Innovative Leaders Guide to Transforming Organizations" joins us on today's show. Maureen Metcalf walks us through the Five Elements of Innovative Leadership. A pyramid that helps every leader understand how they need to progress if they want to create innovative transformation in their business or organization. The very base of the pyramid starts with understanding the "Leader Type" and progresses until we get to the more specific "Leader Behaviors" needed to constructively make a transformation. Innovative Leaders Guide to Transforming Organizations will challenge you, it will really make you think about who you are and what you need to transform in yourself, before you can make an impactful transformation in your business or organization.

Let's be honest we have all come in contact with someone in our family or career who we just did not want to be around. Perhaps it is the whiner who lets you know about all the doom and gloom and that the world is in unfair and it is all crashing down around them. Maybe it is the martyr, you know, the one who feels as if after they have done so many things for you that your response back to them is not enough, and they believe you just don't care. Maybe it's that person in the office who waits for the perfect moment to disrupt the meeting with some snide comment, you know...the sniper. Maybe it's the yes person who does everything for everybody but doesn't get the work done you need to get done. All of these and other people who are people you just can't stand.
In this episode of A New Direction Dr. Rick Brinkman co-author of the book "Dealing with People You Can't Stand" enlightens us on how we have to deal with such people. We all want those people to change, but the truth is, we have to change first. And that starts when begin to understand that their intent may not be all bad. In fact, they, in their own way believe that they are being helpful to the cause. If you want these people to ultimately change, we will ultimately have to take a different approach. And rather than focusing on their change, we need to focus on how we influence those people to start altering their behavior in a more desirable way that we can get along.

Have you ever thought you could be an entrepreneur? Probably. You have either now or sometime in the past have said, "my idea could be a business". So what stopped you? Maybe you didn't believe your idea was good enough. Maybe you thought, "where am I going to get the money". Maybe the whole idea of just running your own business overwhelmed you once you started thinking about every detail it would take to actually run the business. By the way, every successful entrepreneur had exactly the same thought. The difference? They found a way to do it anyway. Look entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. There are so many risks involved and the truth is more fail than succeed. And even those that do succeed had moments where they didn't think they would make it. Well there is some help for you.
In this episode of A New Direction author and expert entrepreneur Troy Underwood has been where you are over and over again and he succeeded. And he has written what I think may be the most practical guide to starting your own business when you are not sure of the idea or how you are going to fund it. The book is entitled How to Launch Your Side Hustle and it the information he gives you is like drinking water from a fire hose. Not only does Troy take you through the beginning of getting started, but he talks about scaling your business, hiring, marketing, legal issues you may want to consider, and how you can exit. How to Launch Your Side Hustle is in my opinion one of the best investments you will make if you have any desire to be an entrepreneur. Enjoy the show...the information is invaluable. He will be coming back! Hey and tell your friends to listen too!

So often we point fingers at leaders for their problems. We will look so intently at the things we do not like about a particular leader and in the process we neglect to realize we have become arrogant believing that we "know" more, or someone else would be better suited to be in their place. The fact is our belief that we are so smart and no so much has created a state of "Hubris" and that my friends is already started to "kill" your ability to lead. Yes, arrogance...better yet Hubris is The Leadership Killer. So what is Hubris You so eagerly ask?
Webster' s defines it as, excessive pride or self-confidence. Dictionary.com adds the word "arrogance" to the definition. The fact is our pride, over-confidence, and arrogance will kill our relationships and hence our leadership abilities. In this episode of A New Direction Captain John "Coach" Havlik US Navy SEAL (retired) joins the show and discusses some of the downfalls and the fight of hubris, and even takes us through his own personal journey as a SEAL where he too for a period lost to The Leadership Killer. This book is absolutely fantastic. It is not a long read, but it is a punch in the face look at ourselves. If we think we can be so arrogant as to point fingers at ourselves, then we need to take a long look in the mirror, because that finger is in fact pointing back to our own hubris that has subtly taken over. The Leadership Killer is a read for anyone and everyone get your copy here!

It has been said that "Culture eats strategy for breakfast" well if that is so true why do people spend more money on "strategy" than "culture"? Think about this way...you can have what is considered to be a great strategy, but if your people will not implement it...it really doesn't matter. The reality is if you have a great culture you can accomplish nearly anything in your business. It is that simple. That is because great people in a great culture work together to accomplish great things. Folks we must start with culture if we truly want success.
In this episode of A New Direction friend of the program, culture expert, and author Colin Ellis returns to not just talk about culture, but what are the steps we need to take to start fixing the culture, all from his book Culture Fix. Colin states in his book, "Culture change success requires only one 'lone nut'". One person with the radical idea that people and culture come first. Where there is no doubt that Colin Ellis is that "lone nut" that will influence you to be the "lone nut" when it comes to fixing and changing your culture. Culture Fix is not a book on the philosophy of culture it is a practical guide how you can go about changing it! Get your copy here.

There is a variety of research out there that suggests you will have between 7 and 10 jobs in your life time. For some more and others less. Of all those jobs that you will take will be with the competition of the employer you are currently working for. Job transitioning on the outset sounds like a fundamental right. And it is true you have a right to leave your place of employment, but that doesn't mean that it will happen without difficulty. The fact of the matter is whether you have an employment agreement or not a company may exercise it's right to start litigation to make your job transition difficult and in some cases impossible. That litigation could turn into a nightmare for your future employer who may not want to invest in the risk. Now what do you do?
In this episode of A New Direction Transition specialist attorney Steven Manchel joins us. Steven from the very introduction of the book explains why the transitioning process can be difficult and why YOU need to have a plan before you ever say "I Hereby Resign". There are so many takeaways from "I Hereby Resign", but perhaps one of the biggest is that be careful about your behavior, because while you may say all the right things, your behavior patterns may flush you out...and if that should happen you can make it worse by lying (Which by the way "DON"T!") Steven Manchel in his book "I Hereby Resign" comes complete with a sample resignation letter, scripts that you should say and more. It also has a full recommendation for recruiters and even offers help on how to start your own transition program. Great read! Must Read!

Networking is truly more are than science. There is a tremendous difference between those who are great networkers and those that work at networking. There are many people, perhaps you who just dread the idea of networking, or perhaps are frustrated by it, or maybe you have felt that you have tried networking face-to-face, but you just didn't get the results you wanted so you have given up on it. Steven David Elliot Networking expert and chief visionary officer of Rockstar Connect (www.rockstarconnect.com) joins us on A New Direction (AND) to help you become a more successful networking professional by giving you the skills, motivation, and mentality to make any networking event a more successful one with his book Mingle: The Art of Face-to-Face Networking in the Digital Era.
The book Mingle is what is known as a AHA book. It can be read in one sitting while drinking a cup of coffee or two and is 140 proverbs that Steven David Elliot discovered through trial and error to create perhaps the world's largest networking events in the country. He lives by them, I have witnessed them first hand, and while they may seem simple to read, the attention and intention to accomplish these proverbs will consistently be a challenge. Mingle's approach is counter-intuitive. While most people go to networking events to try to get business, Steven's approach is about truly giving first, with no expectations, and over the course of time the power of reciprocity takes hold and more business and referrals come your way. Steven also demonstrates how creating your own networking event leads to what we call in psychology as the "mere-exposure effect". Every person should read Mingle: The Art of Face-to-Face Networking in the Digital Era., read it often, read it right before you go to a networking event and hand it to every person on your team.

Agile is a process that allows teams to basically work independently on small pieces of a larger project. Basically they govern themselves, work in spurts (called sprints) and are suppose to be unified on what they will work on at any given time. But does that really work without leadership involvement? Perhaps not as consistently well as we would like to believe. The fact is even though in principle this all sounds well and good, perhaps a better approach is that there needs to be facilitative leadership to help add rigor, alignment, and efficiency to the process.
Agile expert Michael K. Levine joins me on this episode of A New Direction (AND). Michael helps us understand that even in the best of circumstances when it comes to teams leadership is still critical to making even agile teams more successful. In his book "People Over Process: Leadership for Agility" Michael Levine helps us understand why leadership is still important to these unique teams and provides frameworks to help us better understand how to make agile teams work even more successfully. Michael will even help us understand how to have better meetings, deal with emotions of people on these teams, and offers some key advice to even the most ardent fan of those who want to work and govern themselves. Because at the end of the day, it really is about "People Over Process".

No one ever says: “We hope to find the right person, fall hopelessly and passionately in love, have a beautiful wedding, live together for a while then let our relationship disintegrate and crash and burn in divorce”. Yet so many relationships do disintegrate and wind up in divorce. Why? When we stop getting the love that we need ...we stop loving back. And when that happens the downward destructive spiral takes the relationship into a path of separation. The fact is we all want to be loved, and we want to love. And when it doesn't happen in our most important relationship, everything else is just a little more empty.
Dr. Mike Garrett joins us in studio on this episode of A New Direction with his book co-written with his wife Rhonda Garrett entitle "Love Needs: Discover Your Top 10 Languages of Loving. Dr. Mike (as many call him) talks with us about why it can be difficult to get both people into counseling, the challenges of the "conflict cycle", resentments, and even the importance of sex and why it doesn't happen. Love Needs the book, contains 30 chapters that describe a separate need we have when it comes to love and even has an assessment to help you identify your top 10 love needs. Let me ask you this question, if you are being honest how is your relationship with your significant other...really? Then let me follow it up with the next question: Are you getting the love that you need? Well there is a really good change your significant other is not getting the love they need either. Tune into the show as Dr. Mike walks you through some counseling, and get yourself a copy of the book Love Needs. You your significant other will be glad you did!

Yesterday is not today...well that's obvious. So why do we believe that so many of yesterday's leadership principles will still be effective today? The fact is when it comes to work attitudes have changed. Jobs are plentiful and when people do not like their boss, manager, or CEO, they just leave. This costs the business massive amounts of money. At some point we need to look at the lowest common denominator of employees exiting...the leader. The days of "it's my way or the high way" are over if you want to survive in business today. The fact what people want from today's leaders is to know that their leader actually cares.
In this episode of A New Direction (AND) author and leadership expert Michael Bianco-Splann discuss his book Conscious Leadership: 7 Principles to Change Your Business and Change Your Life. We start by analyzing the most important piece to the puzzle and that is bringing the authentic you to your leadership. If you are loved and cared for by others...why is that not the same person leading the company? Why are often two different people?
Michael Bianco-Splann goes on to touch on such topics as being a better and more active communicator. Taking Risks. Servant Leadership. How can we expect employees to care for customers if we do not care for them, Uncovering Myths when it comes to getting closer to your employees and associates and more! We also learn one of the most powerful principles through out Conscious Leadership...it is our choice. And that choice is going to take both courage and risk. Do you have what it takes to truly be a Conscious Leader and employ a game changing attitude and behavior Conscious Leadership.

Author Culture Strategist Colin Ellis talks Culture Fix for Business
In a survey of 1400 American business it was cited that 92% of executives said that cultural change was critical and a driver to increase their company's values. Yet only 16% said their culture is where it needs to be. It is not surprising. When it comes to business culture we talk a good talk, but we do little to address it. The fact is our behavior does not match our words and chances are all the cute little mottos, mission statements, value words, and vision are pretty meaningless. They are just words because they sound great, but very few if any are put into practice by the CEO or other C-suite leaders so what do you expect your people do? Exactly...the same thing...nothing.
Fix your culture in your business for more profit and productivity
The research has made it clear time and time again that having the right culture in your business is important, so why do we neglect it, ignore it, or say we don't have the time for it? Well those are questions for Cultural Strategist and Business Culture Expert Colin D. Ellis as he joins us in this episode of A New Direction (AND). Colin will take us through the research, the trials and tribulations of creating a culture, but also demonstrate to us that a consistently great culture makes the business more profitable in a variety of different ways.
Colin's book the Culture Fix: How to Create a Great Place to Work will take you through what culture is, what it takes to create it, the type of culture you may be in, and the six pillars to change it, and then follows it up with how do you make culture truly stick. Culture fix is a fun witty research example filled read. In every chapter, if that is what you would like to call them, Colin gives a brief summary and action steps you can take to start changing your culture right now. Culture Fix is one of the most comprehensive practical guides on culture change on the market. And if you are looking to change something in your business and do not want to spend the money well as Colin would suggest "fix your culture". As I would say, get a copy of Culture Fix.

When it comes to business strategy we are often confused. We have a tendency to believe in myths like "Our brand is our strategy" or "Our people are our strategy" or "we do SWOT analysis", but none of those are really a strategy much less a competitive advantage. Sometimes we jump ahead when it comes to our strategy and we decide to write a mission statement, which in reality should be about the strategy and how we will implement it daily, but typically mission statements are way to long, no one in the business actually knows what it means, or is nice sounding, but in reality does not drive the day to day business operations. For many businesses they fall into the trap of not really knowing their competition and then decide arbitrarily that they have a competitive advantage when the reality is your competition is doing the same thing which is not a competitive advantage at all. We need a better way.
Fortunately for you and your business, professional business strategist Dr. Chuck Bamford joins us on A New Direction to bring some order and clarity to the business strategy process both in terms of developing a strategy and how you and your business should implement that strategy. All the information is based on his highly acclaimed book "The Strategy Mindset 2.0: A Practical Guide To The Design and Implementation of Strategy". The Strategy Mindset is more than just a guide, it is one of the most comprehensive business playbooks to make your business flourish. Dr. Bamford takes you through step by step to understand how to create a competitive advantage, compare that to your competition, determine if it has real value to your customer, make it part of your on going and changing mission, get everyone on board implementing it, and identifying and finding your perfect customer. The Strategy Mindset is for anyone in profits or non-profits, C-suite professionals, entrepreneurs, those thinking about starting a business, members of board of directors, investor and more. The process is even complete with suggested metrics on how to ensure you are truly employing the strategy. Get ready because The Strategy Mindset is truly a business changer!

Technology, social media, phone apps, Alexa, Siri, Go Google, Artificial Intelligence, there is so much coming at us. When it comes to our business...what do we do? Which one or ones do we choose? If any? What is going to give our business the competitive edge? How much is going to cost? What can I afford? What is really going to make a difference? The questions are endless. And it may leave you feeling overwhelmed, helpless, hopeless and over matched. What is the answer as we enter into the next decade? We are so focused on technology in today's world we have perhaps overlooked Occam's Razor. That is the most simplest answer sits right before us. Not that it is easy, but it is staring us right in the face. You feel it, I feel it, your customer wants it. What is it? A real relationship.
In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author John R. DiJulius opens our eyes to the research and examples of the one thing that will compete and overcome any technology. The quality and depth of our relationships with our past, current, and future customers. The fact is there is no app to develop a relationship. Alexa doesn't really care about your family, occupation, your recreational joys, or your hopes and dreams. Only people can do that. As John DiJulius explains in his outstanding book "The Relationship Economy: Building Stronger Customer Connections in the Digital Age" people want to be in relationships, but not temporary ones, not ones with the idea of gathering business, but ones that are real, genuine, authentic and meaningful.
As technology has increased and surrounds us the very thing that will separate your business from every other will be how well you can truly make your customer "feel" special. And "The Relationship Economy" and John DiJulius takes a microscopic and example filled approach to helping you make your business a difference maker with people. Here is a really simple question: Are you a business that people love? Sounds awkward when you ask it, but think about the businesses you truly love. They are the ones you are loyal to, the ones that you keep going back to, the ones that make you feel special, important, provide value, and the one try to convince your friends to use. If your were the kind of business that people loved...what would that do for your bottom line? That is the Relationship Economy and how it will change your business.

How many times have you either said, or heard it said, "People don't change". Maybe you have made the statement or heard the statement, "I am what I am", indicating that change is impossible. Or perhaps you have said, "there is nothing I can do about my situation, no one will give me a break". Do you know what those are? Myths! Oh sure, you can find some support for your argument, but the real truth is you have created for yourself a distinct narrative that you believe cannot be changed. You have created an idea that you have no control, or worse yet that you cannot change your life or direction. They are part of our horrible programming or the "code" in your head that makes you believe such rubbish. There is an answer.
On this episode of A New Direction author/coach Darren J. Gold exposes the lies that we have in our head and rewrites the code that we have come to believe. What would your life be like if instead of saying "I am what I am" you could rewrite your brain code to "I am the author of my own life"? How would your life change if you could see the facts that instead of saying, "I am just emotional and I am wired to react" you would say, "I act, I do not react"? And how could your future be different if instead of saying, "I have no control over my destiny" you instead lived like, "I live on purpose" what would that do for your life as you live it right now? Darren's book "Master Your Code: The Art, Wisdom, and Science of Leading an Extraordinary Life" helps you live the life you could be living right now...but you have to rewrite your code. Not only rewrite it, but Master Your Code. This show is one for the ages and one that you will listen to again and again. The book "Master Your Code" is available in all formats including audio...get yours today!

It is that time of year again. Hopefully you are thinking about your goals. Many people wait until the first of the year. We shouldn't. We all know or at least should know what we did the previous year in terms of our goals. We know were we succeeded and we know where we failed. Chances are if you are like the majority of people you more than likely did not accomplish the goals you set out to achieve. There are so many theories on goals. However, the fact is we need to be SMART when it comes to setting goals.
You may have heard of SMART goals...but our Charlie Gilkey this weeks guest on A New Direction (AND) has changed the acronym of SMART to make your goals more meaningful. Charlie Gilkey' book Start Finishing: How to go from Idea to Done is a powerful book...but you will find this episode even more powerful. It will make you rethink about your goal setting. Charlie will give you more insight how to be a better about setting your goals. Finally you will have a plan to accomplish this years goal. So Start Finishing!

We like to think of ourselves as being pretty smart. We like to think that we make really good decisions. We like to think especially in business environments that we use our logical side of our brain more so than the inner emotional brain. However what the research tells us...we really do not know ourselves as well as we think we do. In fact as Dr. Gleb Tsipursky explains we are so biased we make most of our decisions with our instincts and emotions. And that is a problem.
On this episode of AND Dr. Gleb Tsipursky takes us through his book Never Go with Your Gut: Avoiding: How Pioneering Leaders Make the Best Decisions and Avoid Business Disasters (Avoid Terrible Advice, Cognitive Biases, and Poor Decisions). We quickly learn that there are over 100 cognitive biases that we have the choice to employ. And then Gleb gives us example after example of how these glaring biases have destroyed many companies. And while there are many books written on the subject of cognitive biases, Never Go with Your Gut is the first book to actually discuss how to overcome these cognitive biases. Listen as Dr. Tsipursky takes us through a few of these biases that we often use, gives us ideas how to over come them and then helps you deal with someone who has these biases and how to help them see the light of their ways. Something he refers to as EGRIP. You will get some great insight and few chuckles along the way. ENJOY!

So often as sales or business professionals we want some slick silver bullet strategy that will increase our business. Somehow our mind has convinced us that there must be some magical secret that somehow we missed to getting more sales. However, the reality is there are no silver bullets and there is really no such thing as "magic". The fact is being a better at sales, business, or life have one thing in common...YOU! The very person who is going to increase their sales, be a better CEO, or a better person is going to be the person who is reading this right now. However, those improvements only happen when the person makes positive changes in their life. It is then and only then will they see positive changes everywhere else. And that is the heart of Robert Paolini and his book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales.
In this edition of A New Direction (AND) Robert Paolini walks us through some of the steps of making the changes in your life to affect the changes in your business. These change require discipline to start new positive habits that create positive change. The book Good T.A.L.K. Great Sales is a culmination of life changing techniques that affect the life of your business. He starts by outlining the acronym T.A.L.K. Truth, Attention, Listening, and Kindness and explains that these four pillars, if you will, are essential for any sales or business person to have greater success, because in every aspect these principles when practiced sincerely create powerful relationships that lead to better business. We then leads us through Ha. He. Wi. We. - HAppiness, HEalth, WIsdom, and WEalth, and how these flow together to give us a fun reminder of how to live. Robert or Bobby as he likes to be called then takes us through "Knowing Your Why" and going deeper on your Goals, and then finally talks us through Hal Elrod "s– “The Miracle Morning” and the power of changing your morning and your day with S.A.V.E.R.S....but your going to have to listen to show to hear what that acronym means. Enjoy!

We are bombarded with so much stimuli. It is no wonder according to the the Word Health Organization that the United States is the considered to be the most anxious country in the world. But regardless of where you live in the world you too are being taxed with more digital information. You are asked to do more. There are more demands on you from work, family, friends, media, and social media. Now that we have all this data at our disposal we have to keep up with the "metrics". Now the computers are telling us what we should produce, and how much, and how fast. If you are like so many people in this world, your life is stuck, out of control, overwhelmed, over stressed and feel as if you have no control over your life. That my friends is the very definition of the "Loss of Agency". It's out of control, you feel you cannot control it and it has consumed you. It is time for you to act as your own agent and get you agency back. Bring control back into your life and it can be done.
On this episode of A New Direction co-author Psychologist Dr. Paul Napper joins us to help you get started on getting your agency back. In a funny sort of way, agency is like getting your psychological "mo-jo" so you can start taking back control of your life, be able to handle making better decisions, and reducing the obstacles to a more manageable size. The book is entitled, The Power of Agency: The 7 Principles to Conquer Obstacles, Make Effective Decisions, and Create a Life on Your Own Terms. It is a comprehensive self-help guide to helping you take back your life, discover your purpose, and live that life in an authentic way. The Power of Agency is full of research and real stories from real people who have changed their lives all because the discovered or rediscovered The Power of Agency.

Most all of us at one time or another have said to ourselves..."I really need to lose some weight". Or maybe you looked at yourself in the mirror naked and thought to yourself..."that cannot be me!" The fact is being overweight is a problem. We tried to diet, but we failed. So we just give up. Then we may try to excuse it, accept it, and create mantra's around it that take our weight and throw a bow around it, or we can face the truth about it. What is the truth? Being overweight is not healthy for ourselves, for our careers, or for our family and friends. Being overweight creates problems and the longer we do not address our weight and unhealthy eating patterns, the greater and more numerous the problems become.
Ralph Peterson joins us on A New Direction with his best selling book, "Adventures in Diet Land:How to Win at the Game of Dieting from a Former Fat Guy". Ralph Peterson woke up with his wedged between the toilet seat and the tub, embarrassed, hungover, and fat. He was eating too much, drinking too much, and he was ready to end it all, take his life and be done with it. He tried every diet and failed. Most of the time to lose some weight only to gain it all back plus some. Now over 350 pounds, life made less sense to him. Then...something changed inside him...the rock bottom moment...he got himself in this situation, he needed to get himself out of it, but he was going to need some help.
Adventures in Diet Land is a phenomenal read. The book takes you through Ralph's story and then he gives you the 50 life changing rules that he follows to this day that helped him lose more than 150 lbs! One of the biggest takeaways you will get from this episode of A New Direction and Adventures in Diet Land is dieting really never works. There has to be a significant change and that change must start with you! Adventures in Diet Land is available in all formats. As soon as you read it, it will become clear why it was an Amazon best seller. You can learn more about Ralph Peterson by going to www.RalphPeterson.com

There are many lessons we can learn from our journeys in business and life. We all have them. But how many of us have actually took a journal and wrote every day about our journey. Not many of us for sure. Rob Jolles one of the world's leading sales trainers and inspirational speakers has been journaling his travels as a speaker and world traveler. He has logged over 2.5 million miles around the globe. At one point he was 280 days on the road speaking to group after group grooming sales departments, CEO's and staff. And in his book he gives us a glimpse into the 19 years he spent jumping from plane to plane, city to city and the lessons he learned that can be applied to both life and business. He truly understands The Way of the Road Warrior.
The Way of the Road Warrior is not your typical business travel book. It is much deeper than that. In this episode of A New Direction Rob Jolles shares his life, his experiences, and the highs and the lows that come with both a heavy travel schedule and the toll it takes on both him and the people he loves. This book is both entertaining, and at the same time incredibly honest. He pulls no punches and gives you the great successes and great failures, and the life that nearly cost him everything. The lessons shared in The Way of the Road Warrior apply to all of us. You do not have to be a traveling speaker or salesman to glean a powerful message that should awaken all of us as we try to achieve success.

Alexa, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are the latest evolution of technology inhabiting our world. You may be one of those who is a skeptic. You may say something like "AI is not going to affect my job, my business or my career, because we have nothing to do with it". Of course they said that about the internet in the late 90's, and today it is almost impossible to have a business without an active web presence. I heard businesses say the same thing about social media and it is the businesses who embraced and use it that are still around and flourishing. AI is the next step in the evolution of technology. We now have devices like Alexa that we can set alarms, do our shopping lists, set our temperature, etc. Other AI devices that can automatically build other devices, consult doctors on operation procedures and more! It is here and it is not going away.
On this episode of A New Direction Author Rhonda Scharf talks about her latest insightful book, "Alexa is Stealing Your Job". Rhonda jumps right in and helps us understand what AI is and how it is influencing our world. She goes further and points to research that demonstrates just a few of the industries that will lose as much as 99% of their job duties. While this all sounds so fearful, Rhonda Scharf then helps you understand how you can fit into a world of AI, and how to keep yourself not only relevant but bring value to this brand new technological world.
The book Alexa is Stealing Your Job, is a enlightening read. It will calm your fears, give you insights on how to work with these devices, and how instead of seeing them as a threat you can actually work with this technology to enhance your own career. So rather than stick your head in the sand, deny it's reality, or hope it will just go away, you now have a book that can you a head start into creating the new you that can be far more productive and successful. "Alexa, is Stealing Your Job", but she is giving you an opportunity to have even a better one.

So often getting started is easier than finishing. And then there are times when we get stuck because we started to many things or cannot get them out of our head. We all have said something to the effect of..."I have all these ideas in my head, but I can't get them out" or "I have so many things I want to do, but I just don't seem to have the time to do them", or "I am overwhelmed at all the things I have to do, I have no idea how I am going to do them". Everyone of these statements have one thing in common: We are frustrated and they are not done. We sit and talk about them, but they just hang out there forever, and then before long, because time moves faster than we think, we never get to them, and they either go away, or they become someone else's issue, because we left a project partially finished that now someone has to clean up our mess. Is there an answer or should you stay frustrated?
Good news friends! There is an answer! And this week on A New Direction (AND) author Charlie Gilkey (www.productiveflourishing.com)shares with us a small part of his outstanding, practical, motivational, no holds barred, book START FINISHING: How to Go from Idea to Done. In this episode of AND we uncover the difference between ideas and projects, what keeps us from getting them done how to make SMART goals (yes SMART is an acronym), why have your Success Pack of people is important to completion, and how 15 minutes of distraction can throw an entire year off track. You are going to really enjoy the insights from Charlie and his book...and then you will begin to START FINISHING! Enjoy.

We live in a world today that makes it easy to blame others for our success or lack of success. Most people want to believe that somehow those with great success have been given a break, or they have been born into privilege and that is the reason why they are successful. However, the facts are that the overwhelming percentage of successful people are self made. So what do these self-made successful people have that others don't? Nothing really, except...they make better decisions. Learning to make decisions is not something to take for granted, because as Dr. Cie Allman-Scott tells us every decision no matter how small builds on itself. if we are not careful with the small decisions soon they can loom to create consequences that we never wanted.
Dr. Cie, as she is called, joins us on A New Direction to talk about her book DECIDE YOUR FUTURE. The book is full of inspiration, practical application, research, heart, encouragement, and empowerment. Dr. Cie enlightens us to the research as to why we are motivated to make poor decisions and then gives a practical 7 step process to help us make a far better decisive choice. DECIDE YOUR FUTURE delves in to why we procrastinate, how complaining solves nothing, why laziness kills our success, and taking responsibility for our own emotions, confidence and self-esteem. DECIDE YOUR FUTURE is a book that will lead you to greater success in your life, your career, and your business...I guess you could say it will definitely give you A NEW DIRECTION.

When it comes to the younger generations depending on your age and what you do, you have an opinion. Most of the time those opinions are not very favorable toward our young people. Somehow so many of us can act like the previous generations were so much better, that their work ethic was so superior, that they were more loyal, and not as entitled. What is interesting every generation has pretty much said the same thing about the new generations coming up. We have a tendency to over-estimate ourselves, and dramatically under-estimate those who are coming after us.
Mark Perna Generations Expert and Author of the book Answering Why: Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations joins us on this episode of A New Direction. Mark helps all of us understand who the younger generation is, why they do what they do, what they want, and how to educate, parent, and employ this younger generation with great success. It all starts with removing the labels, and understanding that parents have done so much to protect their children that the children are looking for experiences more so than for money. They want to be part of something that makes an impact on this world. And when you start to think about just those to things, deep down isn't that what we all want to do?
Answering Why: Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations is a tremendously insightful book. Not only does it provide fabulous insights into our younger generations, but it serves as a guide to help us better educate them, employ them, and how we can be instrumental into the productivity in their lives. Mark Perna also shed light into how our educational system is perhaps sending the wrong message. Maybe not everyone needs to go to college, in fact what Mark demonstrates in his book that there are a variety of ways that young people can make a great living by not going to college. He even gives us a brief view of his creation The Career Tree. and it just makes sense. It is time for us to redefine what we are feeding this younger generation...because we the older ones are sending the wrong message and it is time for us to change it. And it starts with our attitude and our effort. We can change the world if we reach to help, support, encourage, and understand. Because the saying is true, "seek first to understand, before you want to be understood". Enjoy the show!

So you are a leader. Maybe you are a team leader, or perhaps an owner, a manager, or maybe you are an entrepreneur and you are your own boss. The fact is you are doing the best you can to lead. You are challenged by the everyday busyness. It seems like you are putting one fire out, and another ember starts and boom! Another fire needs to be put out. You have caught your self feeling busier and busier, you are feeling overwhelmed, the emails keep piling up, you cant catch up. You are so caught up dealing with the day to day, minute by minute hassles that you know you are losing sight of the big picture. Sound familiar? So what do you do? Well if you are like most people you probably cut out something you really need like sleep. There is another answer. And it flies in the face of conventional thinking. It is counter intuitive. You can even say paradoxical. The answer: Slow down to Speed Up.
Dr. Liz Bywater joins us on this episode of A New Direction with her book, Slow Down to Speed Up: Lead, Succeed, and Thrive in a 24/7 World. It may not make sense when you first hear it, but then as Dr Liz Bywater starts explaining why it works it comes to make sense that in reality slowing down will actually allow you to be more effective, more efficient, and more successful as a leader. Slow Down to Speed Up is like having a complete tool box that has practical applications and exercises you can do look at why you do what you do, learn about the real you to be most effective, and give you the tools and techniques so that you can truly be the leader you always knew you could be. Slow Down to Speed Up is a great book, short read, and a game changer for anyone who wants to grow in leadership and be more successful.

Did you know it is more common then ever to become a millionaire? Yep...if you are in the middle class you too can become a millionaire. But it is not going to happen over night, and it is not going to happen without some work. Becoming the middle class millionaire is going to require some steps. Saving money, spending below your means, investing money wisely, and time. The fact is as humans we struggle with all of these to some level. In a society that wants to feel good now, saving money is not on our radar. And because, as humans, we can be concerned about what other people think, we buy the most luxurious things we can to make us look like we are successful. And when it comes to investing, we do not always listen to professionals like Clark Kendall because we often think we know what is best and we fail. Then, finally there is time...we do not want to wait. We want what we want now. And yet these four ingredients are crucial to our financial success.
Clark Kendall is a Certified Financial Advisor, and founder and CEO of Kendall Capital. He has written what I believe to be the most practical, realistic, understandable, quick reading guides to financial wealth that I have seen to date entitled "The Middle-Class Millionaire: Surprisingly Simple Strategies to Grow and Enjoy Your Wealth". In this episode of A New Direction we cover only a few of the topics that the book covers: Having the mindset of a saver, understanding good credit versus bad credit, how to make a better vehicle purchase decision, investment risk, should you retire, and giving. In this interview with Clark Kendall, not only will you become more financially literate, but you too will be on your way to becoming a Middle-Class Millionaire.

When we talk about leadership it seems it is invariably linked with success. When you start to consider what it takes to truly be a great leader...well...success is right there. But the opposite is true, the more successful one is...well...the more leadership responsibility that they either take on or is thrown at them. Because of these two terms are so connected it only makes sense that if we talk about how to one the fact is we are also affecting the other. When book comes a long that recognizes their connection, well then it becomes a must read.
What then stops any of us from being the leaders we could be? If it is true that anyone can lead then why don't we? What is the missing link in our personal system that keeps either from becoming leaders or being the best leader. It is time to LEVEL UP! Author Royce Gomez joins us on this addition of A New Direction (AND). She has written an inspirational, fast reading, and personally challenging book entitled "Level Up! Visioning Your Leadership DNA". Filled with not only encouraging and challenging practical tips, but Royce Gomez also shares part of her personal story to explain how she became the CEO, Entrepreneur that she has become.
Not to be a spoiler, but the reality it is all of this starts in the first chapter of the book and carries us through out both Level Up! and this show...and that is..."Dream" and not just dream...but how big is your dream? Have you stopped dreaming? Why? And if you want get back on track in the success of life and leadership get back to dreaming and DREAM BIG!

People will say to the people who do not watch the news, "you are uninformed". However, to those of you who are watching the news regularly the facts are "you are misinformed". We want to believe that the consumption of news media has no effect on us. We make claims that regardless we need to know what is going on in the world. However, the research demonstrates time and time again that the news media is affecting you. It is not simply telling you what the news is, it is telling you how to feel about the news they are reporting.
Jodie Jackson from London England has written a phenomenal book exposing the realities of how the bias of the news media is negatively affecting you and offers a solution to balance how the news is being presented. The book is entitled "You Are What You Read". Jodie exposes the media bias when it comes to negativity...as they say in the industry "if it bleeds, it leads". She digs into the psychological and emotional aspects that you do not even realize is happening to by consuming it. This media negativity breeds, hopelessness, helplessness, raises anxiety, creates contempt, stirs hatred toward others, creates a belief that the world is a worse place and yet it really is not. "You Are What You Read" even exposes the bias the editors of the news outlets when it comes to choosing stories, what pictures are used, what words are spoken all to do one thing influence what you think and believe. Still in denial. Well Jodie Jackson has done the research and the facts are staggering.
In this episode of A New Direction, Jodie on do discuss a great deal of the negative effects the news media has no people, but then Jodie proposes a solution. A solution that has been met with sometimes ire and anger from the new media. She suggests "Solutions-Focused News". It is not the type of news that a fireman saves a puppy. No this investigative journalism that faces the problems head on and further investigates the people who are solving, and following up with how well the solution in reality solves the problem. Of course even this thought process is met with "it will never work" or a verbal lashing by a media professor. Yet through it all Jodie perseveres with her message of not replacing the current media but coming up with a balance that will give people hope, optimism, and increase their self-efficacy. And as we all know we can all use more of all three to change he world. So now you know why "You are What Your Read".

We can look in our business, our relationships, our careers, our lives in general and say, "things need to change". None of us want that change to be for the worse, so we try to take control. We decide quite often that if we have the power to change things we will. So we start handing out orders, making edicts, creating systems, sometimes creating systems for the systems, get angry, get bossy, start pressing harder, and yet in the end not much really changes. Oh things may change a little, but not enough to make a difference. The fact is you are still stuck. All the control that you took back didn't add any positive or significant value. Instead, you became more isolated, more frustrated, and the people around you don't want to be around you any more much less help you.
Welcome in Brian Dixon. He is experienced in helping people solve their biggest problems, overcome their greatest challenges, and just gets people "unstuck". He discovered a secret to successfully navigating positive change. Instead of trying to control everything around him, he made a daily decision to start with his people. Dr, Dixon has written an amazing book that gives us true insights into life, purpose, and profitability by truly serving others, entitled, "Start with Your People".
In this episode of A New Direction Brian Dixon takes on a journey from how he vulnerably allowed people he knew and or worked with tell the truth about who he was, and that transformed him to understand that he needed to start serving. From his wife, to his friends, to his employees, to his clients, to the dance instructor studio for his children. He truly served them all and demonstrated how to "Start with Your People". In Start with Your People you will learn practical applied lessons in dealing with topics such as "who your number one client is, how to deal with difficult people, what it takes to create a master mind group, discover your purpose, use your passion to your advantage, have a better relationship with money and more. This is one of those episodes of AND that will inspire you and empower you.

Have you ever said, "why do I do the very thing I do not want to do?" Have you been dealing with addiction? Maybe you recognize that sometimes you find yourself in situations and places that you know are not right for you, but for whatever reason you find yourself there doing the exact same behavior. For most of us we do not understand why we do what we do. We keep returning to those things that we know are not good for us, but we do it anyway. Then we feel shame. We promise ourselves we will never do it again only to find ourselves...doing it again!
Michael S. Oden is a Retired Deputy Probation Officer, Keynote Speaker, Communication and Behavioral Expert, Personal & Corporate Coach, and award-winning Author of the book "When Nobody's Home". Having researched and worked with 10000 people Michael has put together a program entitled the "Needs Based Method" of overcoming everything from alcohol and drug addiction to the many of other addictive and dependency behaviors we all suffer from at times.
In this episode of A New Direction (AND) Michael Oden and I discuss how the emotional needs that are not met in childhood result in us trying to find the wrong ways to get those needs met in adulthood. You will also learn how those not only affect us as people but also as parents and how we try to recuperate those needs through our children. Michael then challenges you to go deep, to have the courage to look at your dark side and to discover the truth that you have been avoiding, and getting your "aha" moment so that not only can you break the habits of dependency, but truly be free.
The book, "When Nobody's Home" is an award winning title and is one that will challenge you, at times make you angry, but in the end will help you get through the "hero's journey" to the you that you were intended to be all along.

Shout out to Stetson hats. I wear my Stetson every where I go. I love Stetson hats, because they are high quality and they even make me look great! Thanks Stetson for always being a part of my show.
Dr. William Sparks
I find when it comes to the word "leadership" our eyes and ears tend to perk up. Most all of us at some point in our life is going to "lead" someone, even if that is only ourselves. There are as many theories to leadership almost as there are leaders. So when it comes to books on leadership we either embrace them or we get the attitude of "here we go again, another book on leadership". However, within the genre of leadership books you would have a much more difficult time finding a book that instead of focusing on leadership strengths deals with the "dark side" of Leadership.
This week on A New Direction, William L. Sparks PhD has written not only an Amazon #1 Best Selling Leadership book, he has written a book that addresses just that...the "dark side" of leadership. We need to be honest with ourselves. The fact is we all have a dark side. The question becomes how does that darkness effect our leadership. Because so often we focus on our strengths we neglect to understand that until we deal with our darkness or our "shadow" we are limited in just how effective we can truly be as a leader. Dr. Sparks helps us navigate through the "fog" and introduces to our "shadow" so that we truly can maximize our potential as leaders.
Actualized Leadership is a one of a kind book. Yes, it is steeped with psychology, but Dr. Sparks offers practical psychological guidance how to determine the type of leader you are, what your potential dark side issues are and how to meet them and resolve them. Actualized Leadership is a book that will more than likely set off all sorts of emotional reactions. It may anger you, upset you, frustrate you, sadden you, but in the end it will shed light into the darkest part of our person as a leader and help you become the leader that you and the people around always hoped you become.

Everyday we negotiate. Maybe we negotiate as part of our business life. Perhaps you are in the midst of negotiating during a career interview. You may be negotiating with your spouse or significant other, or negotiating with a child who doesn't want to their homework or go to bed. You even negotiate with yourself about the time you get up, what you will wear, what you will eat, if you you will eat, and the list is endless. The fact is we are going to engage in negotiations, but sadly most of us do not know how to negotiate...even with ourselves.
That is where Strategists, Author, Speaker, Attorney Corey Kupfer comes to save the day and save our negotiating. He is a leading authority on authentic negotiating which also happens to be the title of his Amazon Best Selling book Authentic Negotiating: Clarity, Detachment, & Equilibrium - The Three Keys to True Negotiating Success & How to Achieve Them
Authentic Negotiating is more than a "how to" to win a negotiation book. It is more than a "here are some negotiation tactics" book. This book is about YOU! It is about digging in deep to understand the place that you absolutely need to be if you want to be successful in any negotiation. It is about doing all the research, the homework on the people you are negotiating with and understanding their unique perspective, context, fears, purpose, and objectives. But more than anything it is about you. It is about you practicing CDE - Clarity, Detachment, and Equilibrium and practicing a little CPR. But I will let you listen to the show and read the book before I divulge that acronym. Authentic negotiating is a game changer when it comes to your current and future negotiations. You will find that this book will challenge you in ways you never considered when it comes to negotiations. You will want to buy Authentic Negotiating, because it will not only make you a better negotiator it will make you a better person!

It doesn't matter if it is a sport, a for profit business, a non-profit business, or even a family when it comes to developing a "high performance team" there seems to be some commonalities. The first is we are all pretty aware that all teams go through pretty much the same phases, from forming to storming, to norming, to performing. But how we get teams to successfully transition through these phases requires a some tools or maybe some hacks to get through them.
Please welcome Omar L. Harris. He is an entrepreneur, expert on high performance teams, and a certified strengths finders coach. And he has written Leader Board: The DNA of High Performance Teams, in what I call the compiled "best of" collection of books synthesized them and created a practical guide to helping you develop your team into a high performance team. Leader Board starts with Sam a.k.a coach who is under a tight deadline to promote an anti cholesterol medication for a pharmaceutical company and takes you through the challenges that it takes to get a team to from initially forming to the final performance in front of thousands of people. Then Omar Harris breaks down each element in what calls Team Performance Acceleration Principles (TPAPs). Where every book such as Good to Great, 7 habits of highly effective people, 5 Dysfunctions of a Team, Gallup Strengths Finder, Irrefutable laws of leadership and more is broken down and practically and applicably applied.
Omar L. Harris has created a book for everyone. From starting a team to tweaking your team, to working in the midst of an old team. Whether you are an owner, manager, consultant, or team member Leader Board will enlighten you, encourage you and inspire you.

This weeks t-shirt shout out goes to the newly reopened and former Stockyard Cafe, now under a new name and ownership the "Salebarn Cafe" still serving great food in Wahoo Nebraska.
What positive lessons did you learn as a child that you still hold on to today? It seems that so many things that we do as an adult are so directly from things we learned in the first two decades of our life. So often we walk around this world and do not even realize that the things we do naturally have been burned into our mind and behavior from events, places, and people in our childhood past. This certainly was true of Jay Izso.
Jay Izso is a speaker, executive coach, podcaster and author who was raised as a farmhand in a small town called Ithaca, Nebraska. If you think you were raised in a small town, imagine being raised in a town with slightly more than 100 people. It was for sure a farming community. Jay's parents were from New Jersey so when they moved to this little town when Jay was but a baby, they had no idea or even a vision that as Jay grew older he would find his first real career working on a farm.
In this episode of A New Direction Jay talks us about why he wrote The book Lessons from the Farm: Essential Rules for Success and shares with you a few lessons he learned along the way that will encourage and inspire you. Lessons from the Farm are 20 lessons that Jay learned while growing up a farmhand. The lessons are perhaps not new, but they shed a light on 20 ways that you can apply these lessons to become more successful in your life, develop leadership in yourself and others, and encourages you that you too can be all that you were created to be, but it is going to start with the fact that sometimes you must do things afraid.

Life is not always going to treat us kindly. Sometimes life can be quite cruel, mean, and feel unjustified. And sometimes it is our decisions that create so many of our problems.
As it turns out there are really three types of problems we will deal with in life, those that life happens to give us, those that others give to us, and those that we create for ourselves. The fact is that regardless of where the problem comes from even if you created there is one thing that is absolutely true...you have control over how you will respond to it.
In this episode of A New Direction I interview United States Air Force (USAF) veteran Sean Douglas. Sean's life will appear to be just one crazy horrible ride. From his dad leaving to join the military, to his step dad who was physically abusive, the boyfriend that was emotionally abusive, joining the Air Force to escape the day after 9/11, being an alcoholic, a series of failed relationships including his marriage, and finally he makes a decision to take his own life...when right before he pulls the trigger...a phone call comes...you will have to read the rest of the story.
Sean's book is entitled Decisions: The Power to Overcome Self-Defeating Behaviors is his story it will be one that I found I could not put down once I picked it up and started reading it. The book is not only filled with the tragedy and triumph of Sean's life, but it is also filled with thought provoking tips to help you and maybe help someone else in their painful journey. The end of the message is there is always hope.

We all want to be successful, or more successful, but how does that happen? It is so easy for us to look for "silver bullet" solutions, or "magic pills" to solve our desire for success, but the fact is there really are no "silver bullets' or "magic pills", so what is one to do? Leo Bottary has done a plethora of research to help you understand what you can do to enhance your chances at success.
From the very beginning Leo Bottary takes you on a journey by helping you understand that the reason why most people are success if that they do the things anyone can do, but they simply do not do them. And one of those things is they invite the "right people" to join them on their journey so that they can come up with the creative solutions, complete the tasks necessary and grow into their success.
In this episode of A New Direction, Leo Bottary and I discuss topics from his latest book entitled "What Anyone Can Do: How Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Will Drive Change, Opportunity, and Personal Growth. Leo walks us through such topics and issues such as the importance of having peers and peer groups, who are the "right people" to have in the group, the problems with knowing what you want, the wrong thinking most of us have surrounding goals, and five characteristics of high performance teams and more! And for the first time anywhere! A New Direction is proud to be the first show to announce that Leo Bottary's book "What Anyone Can Do" will be available on AUDIBLE August 13th 2019! Make sure you keep up an eye out for it and TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Also, please check out Leo Bottary's website: www.LeoBottary.com

We all will be faced with challenges. The longer we live, the more challenges we get to face. We also live in a world that tells you that "you must be happy"...the marketers present pictures and commercials that convince us time and time again that our happiness is somehow tied to the products or services they want to sell us. Then there is the issue of fear, depression, anger, and what about our relationships? They all can be challenging. What do we do? How do we break free of the cycle, or keep from chasing our rabbit like thoughts down an endless path of frustration?

He practices applied kinesiology (AK) and helps people understand the mind, body, emotional connections that keep us from being mentally and physically as healthy as we could be.

Stories are powerful. They improve our learning. They help us to understand and remember things and events we may not ordinarily not remember. Stories affect our brain chemistry, they manufacture emotions that help us relate not only to the parts of the story, but also to the person telling the story.
Matthew Luhn joins A New Direction with his latest book The Best Story Wins: How to Leverage Hollywood Storytelling in Business and Beyond.

The Stockyard Cafe is know for their great breakfasts, interesting conversations and a great cup of coffee. If you are any where near the area, it is a must stop to get yourself an old fashioned delicious country breakfast.
How are you about doing something new in your job or your life? Little scary? Do you focus on the consequences or the possibilities? How about the issue of trust? Do you really have the courage that it takes to trust others in your life or your business? Of do you distrust and control? And how about really telling the truth? Are you a closed mouth yes person at your job? You know the one who complains quietly with your colleagues, but has a smile on their face and agree with everything your manager says, because you truly fear if you object you will be fired?
If you said yes to any of these question chances are you are in need of some courage. And that leads us to this weeks guest on A New Direction, best selling author, speaker, and CEO (Chief Encouragement Officer...love that) of Giant Leap Consulting Bill Treasurer. Bill Treasurer has been speaking with and helping people for decades learn how to bring real courage to the workplace.
Bill's best selling book is entitled "Courage Goes to Work". Bill reveals for us the three buckets of courage we all need to lead and become more successful. TRY courage, TRUST courage, and TELL courage. He walks us through examples and encourages us how we can be better in all these areas of courage.
But wait!!! There's more! Bill reveals a fourth bucket of courage not in the book. You will want to listen to the show to find out the fourth bucket that we all deal with from time to time. Only on A New Direction.

No profanity please.
Dr. Bill Dorfman
We need to be honest with ourselves when it comes to tomorrows leaders. It is our responsibility to teach them, to train them, to guide them, to ultimately mentor them. Many times we look at this next generation and instead of running to our responsibility we run from it, by making excuses and rationalizations about them. Like the grown ups we are we call them names, "entitled", "lazy", "lack of loyalty", "no work ethic", etc. Like those names and labels will in someway change them. Perhaps there is a different way we should approach this next generation.Enter on this episode of "A New Direction" Dr. Bill Dorfman DDS, many of you will know him as the dentist to the celebrities, the dentist to the movie stars, you may have seen him on "Extreme Makeover" or sometimes sitting on the panel on the TV show "The Doctors". But what he is most passionate about is his foundation called LEAP. It is a week long Leadership and Skills Development Camp for young people between the ages of 15 and 25. LEAP which stands for (Leadership Excellence Accelerating Potential) is for those young people who truly want to learn the skills, and have the knowledge to make a real difference in the future of our world.
Leadership Excellence Accelerating Potential
Once a year for a week 450 young people from countries all over the world gather together at LEAP, at UCLA's campus, to learn to be better leaders, and practical skills such as goal setting, networking, how to interact appropriately with others, how to win over an interview, applying to college, applying to your first job and so much. The speakers that speak during the conference are some of the best known and successful names in the world, like Apollo Ono, Michael Strahan, Eva Longoria, Mark Wahlberg, just to name a few. The beautiful thing about this camp is for less than $2500 you room and board, all your meals, and all the materials are covered for the week. There are even scholarships available. This years LEAP camp is July 21-27 and they still have spaces available, if you want your daughter or son to have the leadership experience of a life time and become the leaders you have always dreamed they would be... please go to www.leapfoundation.comHere is the greatest point that we learn from Dr. Dorfman. We all can mentor our youth and help them become leaders. YOU do not have to have your own foundation like LEAP. YOU just have to take some time to help young people grow. It happened for Dr. Dorfman, and it happened for me, we all can be a part of helping today's young people emerge into tomorrow's leaders.Thanks again to our sponsors of A New Direction!

Matthew Neill Davis
When it comes to business we all make mistakes. But when we make the same mistakes, or make mistakes that we could have avoided but because of ignorance, complacency, or being inept we did not well that can make us...well...stupid.When it comes to avoiding stupid mistakes it first requires us to understand what type of mistakes can be made, in what part of your business could they be made, and at what point in your business do these mistakes have their greatest potential.Attorney and Author Matthew Neill Davis helps us navigate the Art of Preventing Stupid when it comes to our business. Notice it is an art, not a science, because there are other determining factors that play a role how and which mistakes you need to make a proactive priority. Matthew will refer to this as the BIS, the Business Immune System. Where the different systems in your business can get sick. Then he will make a graded diagnosis in terms of the systems that could be catastrophes, ignorance, or ineptitude.
The Art of Preventing Stupid
Matthew Davis and the Art of Preventing Stupid also gives us a blueprint into how to not only look out for these different possibilities of failure, but even some tips on how to handle them. Matthew Neill Davis is going to provide not only great insight, but also wide open, fun sense of humor that take this show in a new direction. So enjoy the ride!Thanks to our sponsors:

Shanah Bell
In a world where people are more concerned about their time off, complaining about working too many hours, along comes a young woman who goes to college and graduate school, is a single parent works multiple jobs and is looking for more work. Along the way she accumulates a variety of knowledge multiple skills. Couple with that her relentless work ethic and her desire to learn and you have an amazing story of one person who inspires others to success. This describes this episode of A New Direction's guest, Shanah Bell.
The Art of Being a PITA
Shanah grew up in an entrepreneurial family. A family where you just always tried. You never quit trying, and you give your best effort at all times. Known for her stubbornness and "never tell me I can't do something" attitude her mom called her a PITA (Pain in the ----). That acronym would serve her well as her work ethic, knowledge, skills, and abilities, allowed her be able to do nearly everything and do it with great success. Hence, she wrote a book about her experiences and the lessons she has learned entitled "The Art of Being a PITA".While all of Shanah's many jobs make an interesting story. There is also the problem of the stereotype of someone who is trying to figure out her place. And because of her ability to quickly learn and adapt it became a challenge for businesses to figure out how to categorize her, or where she exactly fit in. The truth is, they just needed to plug her in, because she is capable of being great in any position they put her in.
Shanah Bell
Her story is one that may make some people shake their heads. It will make you laugh, because her fun loving giving attitude is contagious. But it really is a story of a relentless young women in search of her dreams, while managing a full time job as a single parent, a full time graduate student, and managing to excel at multiple jobs at the same time. It is people like her that are that every employer should desire, and the type of person we need to applaud. Enjoy Shanah's thoughts and insights. And maybe you will desire to learn the art of being a PITA.Thank you as always for our sponsor partners.

Ethan Beute
Today's digital and technological world has created so many conveniences. We are able to do things faster, conduct business in different ways. However, as great as this digital technological world is at the end of the day it is people who make the final decisions. The fact is the technology may be changing but the human being has remained constant. They still have the same physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs and wants as they have always had. And while businesses are getting more technologically savvy, they are either missing, or overlooking the most critical element of ALL business whether B2B or B2C...the human conversation.Ethan Beute (prounounced Butte) co-author of the book Rehumanize Your Business: How Personal Videos Accelerate Sales and Improve Customer Experience joins us in this episode of A New Direction. Ethan helps us understand how email and texting while convenient in fact may be causing us more communication problems.

Rob Jolles
Let's be honest with each other. We are all in sales. Seriously, we are all in sales. Even if your career title does not say, "sales" you have to sell. You have to sell your boss that you have value, you have sell your spouse or significant other on...well you. If you have children you may have to sell them on doing their homework. Then there is selling your parents on well what ever decision you want or need them to make. And if you are in sales, well, then, you know all to well the difficulties in getting people to make up their mind, commit to a decision, make a change from where they are today so that they can be in a better place tomorrow. And the end of it all we all want or need someone to "change their mind.World renown Speaker and Author Rob Jolles discusses the process of "How to Change Minds". We are not talking about manipulation here. We are talking about influencing others for their good, not for our gain. Rob carefully makes sure throughout his book that we clearly have it within our own mind we are not manipulating we are helpfully guiding.
How to Change Minds

Ralph Peterson
It is has happened to most all of us. You start your job so excited. You work like crazy to impress your boss...and then something happens. The intensity is gone. The desire to put forth the effort wains. Then there are those types of industries, oh, let's say housekeeping where many people are not excited to do their job. What do you do? If you were the manager what would you do?
Managing
Welcome back to A New Direction Ralph Peterson. Ralph has been there, he has managed one of the most non-desirable industries, namely, housekeeping. He has supervised housekeeping managers, he has owned housekeeping companies and now consults businesses all over the world. Who better to understand how to manage people when they do not want to work. Managing When No One Wants to Work is a delightful, insightful fun read. These are a number of stories that will help you in a variety of situations when it comes to managing when no one wants to work. At first glance you as an employee may be thinking, "Another book on how to fire people"...WRONG! This is a book on how to inspire people back to work. In Managing not work you find that often times the reason why people do not want to work is because of what the manager is doing. OUCH! Ralph's interview will make you laugh and make you think, but most of all it will inspire you to change.

Ora Nadrich
Let me ask you a question. If you were to look at yourself from above would you, or could truly say you are living authentically? Are you truly being who you are? Do you even know who that person is suppose to be? It is so easy in life to lose sight if who we really are. We get so caught up into being what others expect us to be that we do not even know who we are anymore. We get so lost that for some of us we decide to reach for a bottle,sex, or something else to deal with the fact we want to escape from our lives because what we are, is no longer who we are.
Live True
Thought Coach and Author Ora Nadrich joins us on this edition of A New Direction teaching us how to be more authentic by being more mindful based on her book Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity. Ora talks us through living in the present, embracing our moments, honesty, compassion, serving others, and yet even for the business person how authenticity leads to trust in your business.

Dr Marty Nemko
When it comes to one's career we have all been on a journey. 'From landing our first job, to finding another job because we were laid off, fired, or some circumstance beyond our control, to finding a new job because we are unhappy, to changing a career, to recreating a career later in life. Careers often are difficult.Fortunately for us we have THEE career expert available to us. Career genius, author and humorist Dr. Marty Nemko talks about some of the ins and outs of careers from his book "Careers for Dummies". If you have never read a "for Dummies" book, well, then, I would suggest you start here. Dr. Marty has literally written the most comprehensive and fun career book on the planet (IMHO). It is full of ideas, advice, links, links to videos, and so much more! If you are struggling at all with your career, Dr. Marty Nemko's book is absolutely a must read!
Careers for Dummies
On this episode of A New Direction. Dr. Nemko shares with us parts of his personal journey, and provides indispensable advice for anyone in their career journey. We also get a taste of his passion and professional ability to play the piano...sadly the phone connection did not do his playing justice. So if you were thinking you need to go to college, go back to college, or that college is your only way out, you may be surprised by his answer.

Marianne Clyde, Author, Zentivity
We try to avoid it. We say it doesn't matter. We even claim at times that we can handle it, while other people cannot. However, the truth is that our personal lives, the influences from our childhood, and our past are dragged into our workplaces everyday.
None of us are immune to our personal lives coming into the office. Even the toughest CEO when they go through a divorce, death of a loved one, or we hit a nerve in just the right way is immune from the chaos, stress and discontent.
Zentivity
Marianne Clyde is a licensed therapist. She has been working with individuals and companies for more than two decades, and she joins us on this episode of A New Direction. We interview her about her book Zentivity: How to Eliminate Chaos, Stress, and Discontent in Your Workplace. The book is amazing. It is insightful, powerful, and life changing.
You will hear in this episode Marianne's insight, awareness, and practical wisdom. As she goes through some of the Zentivity and we talk about the thing that inhibit us, the emotional addictions, how we can sabotage, and what it takes to get off the ground, change ourselves, and begin to change the work place.

If you own a business or are the CEO of one, you know that one of your biggest headaches is marketing.

Sparks in Love
Domestic abuse is of epidemic proportions. One in four women are currently living in conditions where they are either emotionally, mentally, and/or physically abused. Ten million children are subject to domestic abuse. These are just a few of the awful statistics that present themselves when we look closely at domestic abuse.
We don't like to talk about it. We have a tendency to turn our head, our mind, or emotions away from even the though of it...yet the reality is this exists. What is more it doesn't matter what your age, color, income, religion, etc. 1 in 4 women are being abused. Chances are we either know someone, or you are a victim of domestic abuse.
Susan Sparks has written a book Spark in Love, detailing the twenty years of her life she spent under the tyranny of her husband abuser. You will probably ask, "why did it take 20 years", she still does not have all those answers, but neither do the one in four women who are being abused. What she can tell you is she is a work in progress. She is still discovering some answers, and rediscovering herself. In so doing she has moved from victim to SODA, Survivor Of Domestic Abuse.
Please check out the video from www.thesoda-pop.com
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzwhphz2WHI
A successful business woman, all the money she needs, two beautiful children, a nice home, a phenomenal career. From the outside all that you could ever hope and dream, but on the inside of the home she lives with a jealous, belittling, cruel, money hoarding, control freak. Putting her down at every turn, putting her friends down, even putting her family down, it will amaze you to see the strength that she can actually get up each day and do her job well, much less function.
Now after years have gone by. She writes an amazing book. and has started a foundation called SODA www.thesoda-pop.com to help women who are in the midst of domestic abuse get out and get out safely with a plan. Because what you do not know about getting out of domestic abuse is that those that try to get away are often murdered or commit suicide. According to NCADV https://ncadv.org/statistics 72% of all murder- suicides involve an intimate partner. ..94% are women.
So if you suspect you are in a domestic violent situation understand that your abuser may have cameras, investigators and other technology watching your every move. So even reading this blog post could be dangerous, because your abuser could be also tracking your cookies and viewing history of what your are reading and looking at. You need to get help, but get professional help, please go to www.thesoda-pop.com where you can find resources to help you get out!

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being awful and 10 being the best it can be...how would you rate your career right now? If it is anything less than a 5, I have to ask you this question: Why are you still in that job? The answers could range from, "I need the money", "it's better than nothing", "I have been here so long", etc. However, the biggest reasons if you were completely honest, is probably because you have become comfortable in your misery, hate change, and fear you may not be employable.
Ines Temple is one of the most successful women in the world. She has literally counseled thousands of people and their careers, and has seen them improve and some

Jay Izsohttp://www,jayizso.com
Depression is one of those topics that typically we like to stray from. Everyone has their own view of depression. As a matter of fact what I have learned as a psychological professional is those who are not psychological professionals seem to have all the answers behind depression. The fact is even as professionals we do not have ALL the answers. It is a much more complicated issue. That is because this is a brain problem.
Brains Break and Sprain, like any other part of the body...
I have always found it interesting that when it comes to issues of the brain, like depression we treat the person and the problem differently than we do if , let us say, someone broke their arm, sprained an ankle, , had a thyroid deficiency, or a hormonal imbalance. Somehow if someone has a brain issue, all of a sudden it becomes different. We look at them different. We label them different. We know longer recommend a doctor, but have some philosophical or theological idea that has the answer. I have found all these solutions both sad and frustrating.
The fact is that the brain is an organ in your body. If your kidneys fail do you give people some hypothetical philosophical theological solution. Of course not. If your heart has a problem is the first thing we say, "well you need to think this way, or feel that way, or some other cliche'...absolutely not! Friends, the brain is no different ,and because someone has depression we need to back off of our ideas and treat it the same way we would treat any other organ or part of the body, and understand the brain can break, be sprained, malfunction, and need physical treatment like any other part of our body. The brain is a physical thing, not a hypothetical thing. Our brain is an electro-chemical physical organism that is so complex that one chemical of thousands that pass through billions of microscopic synaptic clefts can cause a great deal of dysfunction for all of us.
Chris A. Jones, Author
My guest Chris A. Jones, Author of the science fiction series Reversione is one such person who must daily deal with depression. He did not choose it. For whatever reason it chose him. His brain became deficient for whatever reason and the doctors are still trying to figure out the right medications to handle his brain malfunction.
is one such person who must daily deal with depression. He did not choose it. For whatever reason it chose him. His brain became deficient for whatever reason and the doctors are still trying to figure out the right medications to handle his brain malfunction.
That doesn't mean that Chris leaves it only to the medical doctors to help him with his depression. Chris also understands that he has some responsibility on his own to help him through it. A great deal of his responsibility is recognizing what is going on and then rather than giving into the depression finding the right people and things to help him get through those moments and times.
https://www.facebook.com/ReversionBook/
One such outlet for Chris was science fiction. It was a distraction for him. It seemed to allow him to escape what was happening in his current world so that he could go somewhere else and be relieved of the symptoms. What turned out to be a distraction actually turned into a productive venture for him of writing his own science fiction books and his current series Reversione.
In episode 29 of A New Direction you will here Chris and I discuss his depression how he has dealt with it. Some of the issues he struggled with and currently struggles with. This show is to help people understand that you first you may not even realize you have depression, but also to be encouraged you are not alone, and there is hope. There always is hope. This show is also for those of us who may know someone who is depressed and find a way to help and encourage or friends and family how to get the appropriate help,
I have read and heard it said from numerous coaches and experts, "the only thing you can control is your attitude and your effort". My guest on A New Direction Rick Miller would add one more to those two true statements...Being Chief, because after all it is a choice, not a title.
Rick Miller Author/Speaker/Consultant
Rick Miller is an author true of the book Be Chief: It's a Choice, Not a Title, but Rick Miller's experience of turning companies around such as AT & T, and Lucent Technologies (just name two) proves that this is more than just a title of a book...it is the reality that each one of us possess the power to "Be Chief". It matter not what your title is, or what your job is, or what level you are, or how old you are, or how much knowledge you have accumulated...the fact is you have the power within you to be chief.
Be Chief
In Episode 28 of A New Direction Rick Miller literally gives away the secrets to being chief. If fact if you go to www.bechief.com you can take the quiz to help you find your power compass to determine your direction, helps you understand how your values when aligned make you more powerful, and also provides us with some inside secrets such i3k. Wait, what? i3k is a an elegantly powerful and simple tool when it comes to people that you hire. Okay, I will let the cat out of the bag...intelligence, integrity, intensity, and kindness, but you will need to listen to how to apply these back to you and your business.
This episode is powerful you will want to listen to it over and over again. No matter who you are there is something here for you! It will inspire you, motivate you, and if you apply what Rick Miller is saying it will in fact change you!
The book "Be Chief: It's a Choice, Not a Title, is available for sale in your favorite format and available at every book store so if they do not have it on the shelf just ask for it. Here is the real beauty of this book...every dollar that Rick makes from the book is being donated to "Children with special needs" by purchasing Be Chief you not only will be helping yourself, you will be helping others as well...and that does make you powerful. So listen to the show and invite your friends to listen as well.

When you have a transparent company culture, you are setting the stage for your company succcess....
I have heard it said, especially from coaches, "social media and athletes are like oil and water, the two just don't mix". Well the same could be said for athletics in general. Because even coaches and high level administrators have found themselves in hot water over a tweet or social post that resulted in termination. Is social media really a bad thing for athletics? The answer is it should not be! Whether you are an athlete, coach, administrator, business owner, CEO, or employee the fact of the matter is social media is neither good nor bad...it is powerful, it requires responsibility, and in the hands of knowledgeable people it can be an amazingly powerful positive tool to create change, have a career, boost a career, brand a company, market a company, market an athlete, have positive branding for a school, college, or university. It all depends on one person...YOU. It is what you do with it that will make the difference.
In Episode 25 of A New Direction, I discuss two brand new books to hit the market. "The Social Media Playbook for Student Athletes" and "The Social Media Playbook for Coaches and Administrators"
Do not be fooled by this show in thinking it is just for sports minded people. I demonstrate how the principles of using social media apply to your business. For example, that everything you post not only represents you, it represents your company, school, family, college, boss, business, etc. To think that once you are being paid or have a scholarship from a school still means that what you say only represents you, would be wrong.

I have heard it said by managers, "managing people is like herding cats". Well, if you have ever been in a position to manage people you know that it can be a difficult task. However, if you have the right trainer and with some regular practice you can manage people effectively and you can become the manager you always hoped you would be.
Ralph Peterson, marine, management trainer, and author discusses different aspects of being a manager, and how you can improve, based on his book "Congratulations! Now Get Over Yourself: Confessions of a Management Development Coach".
In Episode 24 of A New Direction Ralph and I take a glimpse through the different stories he relates through his book and freely gives you some of the timeless and priceless lessons that will help you be a better manager, be a better employee, be a better CEO, and honestly be a better leader.
And for the first time ever on AND our guest Ralph gives us his scores on the four areas of his life (The Physical, the Mental, the Emotional, and the Spiritual) This is show that is filled with not only great information for you, but you will laugh right along with us!

Ben Brown, Author, Marine, Sales Whisperer
If you are in professional sales for any length of time, you have heard it before..."A-B-C...Always Be Closing". While it sounds funny, there is, in reality some truth to that statement. The fact is, when it comes to sales if you are not closing, you are in fact not selling. We are not talking about some slimy sales pitch person who is forcing his or her sales will on you, we are talking about the professional sales person who is truly attempting to provide a product or service that a consumer is looking for.
The fact is there is an art to sales, and to master it, well, you need an expert. Enter Benjamin Brown, Ben, as you will come to affectionately know him. He is a marine,
a sales expert, sales coach, some may even call him the "sales whisperer". The fact is Ben is passionate about selling and he shares with us some of the steps to closing the sale from his book "Master the Art of Closing the Sale"
Master the Art of Closing the Sale is, in fact, a ten step guide to getting you testimonials, and more referrals so you can keep you business generating. Listen to the episode but buy the book! Ben will even sign a copy directly, or if you prefer the Kindle version head on over to Amazon.
Trust me if you are in sales regardless of how seasoned or not so seasoned you are Episode 23 of A New Direction will be tremendously helpful.
If you would like to learn more about Ben Brown go to www.360salesconsulting.com or if you would like to schedule an appointment to have Ben coach you personally, just go to meetwithbenjamin.com

Whether you own your own business, are a CEO, Manager, or an employee branding is critical. But where does your brand start? The fact is it starts with your mission statement. But how do you carve out your missions statement. Well that all starts with your core values, and how you live them out.
In Episode 20 of A New Direction, Harvard Law School graduate, retired attorney, professional mediator, negotiator, model, speaker, and author Raye Mitchell talks about "Brandification", However, what we discover in this episode is the power of your mission statement as it relates to your core values.
Do you know what your core values are? Are you sure? If you asked someone else what they think your core values are would they line up with yours? Great questions for sure. How you live your life is the best example of what your authentic self is at it's core, and that will determine much of your mission statement.
All of this is based on Raye's book entitled "How Women Negotiate from a Position of Strength. Protecting Brand and Intellectual Property Rights" HOLD ON GUYS! Don't let the title turn you away. This book is for everyone. It is a very quick read with a workbook attached to help you really re think about who you are, what your doing and finding the opportunities to help you find A NEW DIRECTION!

When I say the word manage, what is the first thing that comes to mind? How about when you hear the word management? What do you envision when you hear the word "team"? Now let me ask you this question: Do your managers behave like a team? Are they efficient? Are they willing to change?
In episode 19 of A New Direction Author and consultant Ed Muzio has a new book entitled Iterate. Wait, wait, wait. Don't let the title disturb you. This is a book on how to literally transform your business into the agile business it should have been all along.

Grief, Grieving, Sharing Your Loss
At some point we are all going to experience loss. Grieving that loss is a personal journey. It matters not if the loss was the death of a spouse, friend, pet, or even the death of a dream. Even those of you who are digging out of hurricane's Michael and Florence have experienced the loss of perhaps loved ones, your homes, and your memories. Sadly, loss affects all of us, and we are going to more than likely experience loss multiple times in our lifetime.
On Episode 18 of A New Direction (AND) Dr. Sherry Cormier joins us to talk about her journey of loss and grief through her new book entitled, ""Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness after Loss and Grief"
Dr. Cormier is a psychologist who experienced a wealth of tragedy. The Loss of her loving husband, her father, her mother, her dog, and her only sibling...all in a relatively short period of time. Her book takes you through her journey and offers such amazing advice on how to help move you through your own grief as well as giving advice to those of us who are trying to help those we love move through their loss and grief.
This is one of those shows that will benefit you, and benefit those you care about. The advice is practical, encouraging, and will truly help you and those you love move through their own journey of grief and loss with far more grace.
Dr. Cormier was so gracious with her time that you get an extended version of A New Direction. So please tell your friends, have them download and listen to the show. And please share the show with anyone and everyone that is working through their journey of loss and grief.

So many people talk about leadership, but how does that really translate into everyday life? What about the language of leadership? Is Leadership Language only used in the business world or can we apply it to our whole life?
In Episode 17 of A New Direction I talk with Author, Business Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Advisor to the "sharks", Chris Westfall. (see www.westfallonline.com). Chris has a new book published by Wiley publishers entitle "Leadership Language - Using Authentic Communication to Drive Results"
Before you even think this book is only for business people, CEO's and such, you would be wrong. This book is for everyone! If you are single it will speak to you about dating, if you are married how to better lead in your marriage, if you are janitor it will speak to you how to lead from what ever position in life you are in...and yes, even you CEO, COO, CFO, CTO or what ever C-suite you are in it will speak to you as well.
Chris and I discuss topics such as what do leaders think, redefining leadership, what is it you have that makes you a leader, why is creativity the number one desired quality in a leader, who sits in the empty chair and so much more!
"Leadership Language is delicious, you will be dipping your brain bread in the sauce of the book and licking your fingers...it is that great of a book" ~Jay Izso

Even in the midst of Hurricane Michael we had to push our through on this episode of A New Direction. We lost power several times, but we reconnected and we still have an awesome show that I am convinced will help you!
Perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions I am asked is..."how do I start a business". I am not always certain why I am asked that question so often, but I recognized that I need a real expert on buying and selling businesses to really give the best answer that could others, like perhaps yourself, find A New Direction in this area.
That Person is Jeff Snell, COO & Founder of Enlign Business Brokers and Advisors. Jeff and his company Enlign have been a part of 100's of transactions representing businesses and their owners to help them sell or find the right business. He and his company have been national recognized for their leadership in the area of Business brokerage.
Check out Jeff Snell and Enlign's social Media
In this episode of AND we ask questions such as "How does one start a business"
, "How much money does someone need", "What about buying an existing business", How much should one pay for an existing business", "Where should someone start when it comes to either
buying or starting a business". "What about buying a franchise?", "What are the pros and cons of
buying a franchise business?"... and so much more!
If you have ever thought about starting your business this show is for YOU!
If you are in a business and you are thinking about how business brokerage works because you want to sell your existing business...this show is for YOU TOO!
If you are simply interested in business...yeah, this show is for you. BUT WAIT THERE"S MORE! In this episode we have bonus content! That's right, just when you think the show is over, Jeff comes back and gives you tips on how to prepare your business for a storm.

This is a perfect example of finding A New Direction that can help you with your employees, data protection, and even marketing.

Life is full of challenges. We all experience them. At some point in our life we will experience a situation or situations or a circumstance or set of circumstances that will challenge us to the point that we feel that we cannot recover. Or worse yet, we feel like this is the end. Overcoming these challenges can become our biggest obstacle.
This week on Episode 15 of A New Direction my guest is Sascha Gorokhoff. Sascha was born with Spina Bifida a rare disease that literally put a hole in his back and exposes the spinal column. Not only that he also was diagnosed with water on the brain and was told he was going to have impaired cognitive functioning. Oh wait there is more, he was also diagnosed at a young age that his kidneys were failing. And is if that were not enough, his dad dies at the age of 16, his mother is diagnosed with Narcissistic Borderline Personality disorder and commits suicide. That would be enough to put most all of us under the table and just want to call it quits. Not Sascha. Today he plays golf, ski's has multiple degrees, speaks multiple languages and oh by the way he wrote a book too!
Sascha has an amazing story of overcoming his circumstances and has a desire to share with the rest of the world. Listen top this episode to find out how Sascha stayed motivated? What are the important steps for yourself to overcome your own challenges? How do your emotions play a role? The power you have to choose. And so much more!

Most people want to write a book. Now that there is self publishing it seems like anyone and everyone can call themselves an "author".
However, just because you wrote a book doesn't mean you are making money with your book, In Episode 14 of AND we interview Antoinette Kuritz Author, Publicist, Speaker, Co-Owner of Strategies Literary Development and Public Relations, (www.strategiespr.com) and Founder of the La Jolla Writer's Conference. Antoinette talks to us about the real business of writing books and discusses the hard facts of what it takes to be successful.
She also discusses why your book probably is never going to be seen by a traditional publisher, why most people never sell more than 50 books, and the things you should know before you even consider writing a book.
With well over a million new books published last year (over 10 times the number just 5 years ago) … the growth of the book industry has also spawned the growth of less-than-expert-experts as well as out-and-out book-crooks. For over two decades, Antoinette Kuritz, Book Developer, Publisher, Media Coach, Author, and Founder of the LaJolla Writers Conference, has made it her business to assist writers of all levels get their words into print while avoiding the rip-offs in the new world of traditional, electronic and self publishing.
In 2001, as a labor of love, she founded the annual LaJolla Writers Conference, paying it forward by teaching the Art, Craft, and Business of writing to aspiring and established authors of all levels. So, if, as the survey says, 80% of Americans believe they have a book in them, and almost anyone can now “publish” a book, what will it take to get your words out, and make them stand out?
In this episode of A New Direction we talk with Best Selling Author Gregg Jackson and his most recent book. "40 Rules Every Sales Pro Needs to Know". The book is a quick read made up of literally 40 one page rules that will help you in your business, life, marriage, and career.
Gregg and I talk about such topics "how do we give a customer value", "having the hard conversations with your customers", "knowing your customers pain points" "the importance of being authentically you, and so much more! This show is one I assure you that you will want to keep for yourself and listen to over and over again, but will want to share with your friends and family as well.
I highly recommend you purchase the book: 40 Rules Every Sales Person Needs to Know

Meet Tarra Judson Stariell author of the book Sanity Lost & Found: A True Story of Brainwashing and Recovery.
So many people in the world live under abuse. Many do not even fully grasp the level of abuse they are living under, or how they even got there, much less how to get out. Tarra talks with me about the events that led to how she got in the cult, how she got out of the cult and how she helps people redeem themselves as a certified therapist in The Center for Self-Discovery.
