Founders don’t need more to-do lists—they need more time. In this episode, you’ll learn how to treat AI like a strategic “team” inside your business so you can automate the repetitive work, double down on human connection, and scale without burning out.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Michael discuss:
- Overwhelm and mindset around adopting AI
- Using AI to automate repetitive tasks and buy back time
- Keeping brands human while leveraging AI
- The “Power of Five” AI model strategy
- Onboarding and training AI like employees in a high-performance culture
Key Takeaways:
- The fastest way to scale with AI is to stop running from it, pick one tool, and learn it deeply enough to embed it into your business from the ground up.
- AI’s greatest value is in automating repetitive tasks so humans can spend more time on their highest-value strengths and real human connection.
- Treating AI like a set of specialized “team members” allows you to assign the right model to the right task instead of forcing one tool to do everything.
- Onboarding AI should mirror onboarding a new hire: give clear context, guardrails, and ongoing feedback so it operates within your values and standards.
- Fear and overwhelm around AI usually come from the unknown; once you start learning and using it intentionally, AI becomes a way to buy back time and build stronger companies and cultures.
"Start with something small, and grow it, and then expand it as your company expands. It's the fastest way to scale." — Michael Denton
About Michael Denton: Michael Denton spent 30 years in hospitality at the highest level — General Manager, Beverage Director, Certified Wine Educator and Sommelier in iconic restaurants across San Francisco, Oregon, and Texas. A career built on presence: every guest, every glass, every detail. Then a single moment broke the path open. Rear-ended by an 18-wheeler. Eight herniated discs. A spine surgically rebuilt. The discipline of recovery — one percent better, every day — became the foundation for everything that came after.
In October 2023, in the dark season after the accident, he wrote a Facebook post called “365 Brighter Days.” It went mini-viral. The 365 Method was born. A year later, at a sushi counter at the Ultra AI conference in San Diego, a server presented him with a bottle of Pellegrino with the same ceremony Michael had used in presenting wine for three decades — both hands, complete intention. In that moment, past and future collided. The AI Calling was born that night.
Today, Michael is the founder of AI Abundant Media 365 and The AI Calling™ — an AI education company teaching the Power of 5: how Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Meta AI work together as an orchestra, not separate tools. He’s a Certified High-Performance Coach (Brendon Burchard, HPC) and serves the sober living community through The Hope Pad. He lives in Dallas, Texas, and is the proud father of two young men, Tucker and Aidan. His tagline: One AI is powerful. Five AIs working together are unstoppable.

A million-dollar program won’t grow if your clients stay stuck in overwhelm. In this episode, discover how to turn AI into thinking partners and “digital employees” that collapse weeks of work into hours without hiring a team.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Hazel June discuss:
- Content-heavy courses vs implementation-focused design
- Using audits to find high-leverage AI opportunities
- Building an AI operating system for solo business owners
- AI as a thinking partner and mindset coach
- Creating digital employees with SOPs, feedback loops, and guardrails
Key Takeaways:
- Many programs fail not because of a lack of information, but because they prioritize content over implementation and behavior change.
- A simple task and time audit can reveal exactly where AI should be delegated first, instead of guessing or chasing shiny tools.
- Treating AI like a role you hire—complete with job descriptions, SOPs, and workflows—turns it into a reliable “digital employee,” not a gimmick.
- AI becomes exponentially more valuable when used as a thinking partner and coach, helping you test ideas, see blind spots, and move past mindset blocks.
- The real leverage with AI comes from soft skills like communication, systems thinking, and creativity; the tech is a commodity, but how you use it is not.
"AI has been commoditized now, right? Everyone has access to it, but not everyone is making money off of it, and that's because not everyone is using it the same way." — Hazel June

About Hazel June: Hazel June spent 13 years in corporate training, watching organizations pour money into programs that didn't change behavior. Then she moved into online business and watched the same problem repeat itself at scale. As a Learning Experience Designer and Al Consultant, she works with expert business owners whose courses sell but don't deliver, aka the gap that quietly kills retention, referrals, and long-term revenue. She's rebuilt programs that generate $1M+. She's coached hundreds of business owners. And her AI systems have driven results like 1,000% + ROAS (Return On Ads Spend) for clients and collapsed weeks of operational work into hours without adding a single hire.

Leadership isn’t about your title or your metrics; it’s about the impact you have on people when it matters most. In this episode, you’ll learn why teams can look “high-performing” on paper while silently disengaging, and what it really takes to build trust, loyalty, and lasting culture.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Riunita discuss:
- Hidden disengagement in “high-performing” teams
- Dangers of hands-off and ego-driven leadership
- The gap between leadership titles and true responsibility
- Why is a people strategy essential in change management
- The LEI (Lead, Engage, Inspire) framework for modern leaders
Key Takeaways:
- A team can hit its targets while still lacking trust, engagement, and real connection with its leader.
- Leaders who rely on a hands-off, “just get it done” approach eventually burn out their people and damage long-term performance.
- Treating leadership as a title instead of a responsibility leads to command-and-control behavior instead of development, empathy, and relationship-building.
- Any operational or strategic change that ignores people strategy and communication will face resistance, disengagement, and brand damage.
- Effective leadership starts with self-leadership, building your own identity, alignment, and integrity, then engaging others, and ultimately leaving a legacy that continues without you.
"Leadership is not about outcomes... it's about impact, it's about how you show up in the moments that matter most, and it's also about how people experience you and what they become because of how you lead." — Riunita Martin

When tension rises at home or work, most of us either explode or shut down. In this episode, you’ll learn how to turn those hard moments into powerful opportunities for connection using a practical, grace-filled approach to conflict and emotion.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Marielle Melling discuss:
- Pivotal parenting moment that reshaped conflict
- Self-compassion and “continuing education” in parenting
- Turning conflict into connection
- Partnering with emotions and processing anger
- The High Five framework for handling conflict
Key Takeaways:
- You don’t need to have it all figured out; treating parenting and relationships as “continuing education” creates space for growth instead of shame.
- Conflict can become a powerful opportunity for deeper bonding when you see yourself on the same team as the other person instead of trying to fix or fight them.
- Suppressing emotions doesn’t make them disappear; they tend to grow louder or explode later, so learning to listen to and process them is crucial.
- Simply naming what you’re feeling and using deep, intentional breathing can calm your nervous system and bring your thinking brain back online during conflict.
- Choosing grace, self-compassion, and curiosity, especially when others disagree or behave poorly, helps transform ordinary relationships into extraordinary ones.
"Every emotion is good because it's a message, and the point of it is to receive that message." — Marielle Melling
About Marielle Melling: During a crazy season of life, Marielle Melling found peace by radically prioritizing deep relationships. Now she helps parents get on the same page as their kids, so they exchange closed doors and battles for closeness and cooperation, and everyone wins. Marielle uses her degree in health education, genuine care, and relatable teaching style to transform family relationships from ordinary to extraordinary. She’s the founder of Extraordinary Family Relationships and the Mom Spot Membership and the author of Peace amidst the Mayhem and The BUT Book. As a mom of five and her own best guinea pig, Marielle is committed to lifelong learning and doing life on purpose.

Discover why grinding harder is sabotaging your body, your business, and your confidence, and how syncing your work with your hormonal and seasonal rhythms can unlock easier productivity, more income, and a life you actually enjoy.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Renae discuss:
- Burnout, hustle culture, and the wake-up call
- Differences between male and female hormones and productivity
- Menstrual cycle phases and business planning
- Seasons, natural rhythms, and redefining productivity
- Pleasure, play, and nervous system care as a business strategy
Key Takeaways:
- Chasing future success while sacrificing the present often backfires; aligning daily life with what truly matters now can be a powerful catalyst for change.
- Many popular productivity systems are built around male hormonal rhythms, which makes women feel like they’re failing when their monthly energy and focus naturally fluctuate.
- Understanding and tracking the menstrual cycle allows women to match high-visibility tasks with high-energy phases and build in intentional rest without guilt.
- Rest is not laziness but an essential part of a powerful “slingshot” effect, pulling back to regenerate so you can accelerate farther and faster with less effort.
- Infusing pleasure, play, and enjoyment into everyday life, work, and even mundane tasks not only supports the nervous system but also leads to more sustainable, magnetic success.

What if the very thing keeping your business from growing is you being in it every day? Learn how to stop being the bottleneck, start thinking like a true CEO, and use systems, AI, and smart hiring to build a business that thrives beyond you.
About Kristen David: Kristen David, a former trial lawyer who built and sold a million-dollar-plus firm that ran without her, now helps owners of professional service businesses implement the CEO Operating System. She transforms companies into self-managing, hyper-efficient organizations by training teams to leverage AI and strategic decision-making frameworks. This allows owners to finally step out of the day-to-day and lead a thriving, profitable business. Kristen’s #1 bestselling book, Uplevel Your Business, Uplevel Your Life, was named in Forbes as one of the Top 21 Business Books of 2021.
Kristen’s no-nonsense approach and results-oriented methodology have allowed her to help more than 1,500 business owners better manage their businesses. She also walks the walk and practices what she preaches. In her first year in her new business, she went from $0 to $10k in month 1 to $100k in month 12 while growing an incredible team. She runs her virtual business from around the world, living 1/3 in Seattle, WA, 1/3 in Paris, France, and 1/3 traveling all thanks to the help of SYSTEMS!
In this episode, Chabidaye and Kristen David discuss:
- Cost of founders being the bottleneck
- Documenting and building systems in real time
- Using AI for admin, marketing, and client delivery
- Prioritizing CEO responsibilities: sales, marketing, cash flow
- Hiring, team fit, and the CEO self-assessment
Key Takeaways:
- A business becomes scalable when its knowledge, decisions, and workflows are captured in systems instead of living solely in the founder’s head.
- You don’t need days of free time to document processes; you can “build the bike as you’re riding it” by capturing what you’re doing in real time.
- AI can quickly claw back hours a day by triaging email, sharpening marketing messages, and creating reassuring, automated onboarding experiences for clients.
- A CEO’s top priorities are sales, marketing, and reliable payment. Everything else (including much of service delivery and admin) should be delegated or automated as soon as possible.
- Hiring people who are aligned with your mission and hungry to learn will transform your business far more than simply filling seats with people who just want a job.
"The first thing you want to do is [ask yourself]: 'How could we either automate or get someone else trained up to do like 80% of the delivery?’" — Kristen David

You start strong, and then life happens. A crisis, a curveball, an overwhelming week that blows up everything you planned. Learn how to keep your momentum alive even when the unexpected hits.
In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Difference between schedule and structure
- Identifying non-negotiables and a minimum viable week
- Naming chaos to prevent identity spirals
- Designing a re-entry protocol after disruption
- Protecting and managing energy as a business asset
Key Takeaways:
- Momentum is built on structure and rhythm, not on a perfectly executed schedule, so chaos can disrupt your calendar without destroying your progress.
- Small, imperfect actions taken during hard weeks compound over time, while doing nothing guarantees you lose ground.
- When you name what’s happening and give it clear boundaries, chaos becomes a temporary event instead of a permanent judgment about who you are.
- Instead of repeatedly starting over from zero, a simple re-entry protocol lets you intentionally pick up where you left off after a disruption.
- Treating your energy like an emergency fund, protected and replenished in good times, gives you the capacity to navigate inevitable chaotic seasons.
"Energy is not the reward at the end of the productivity race. Energy is the entry fee." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

Your week gets hijacked by everyone else's priorities. Learn how to reclaim control and focus on what actually drives growth.
Feeling like your week is constantly hijacked by other people’s demands, dings, and “quick questions”? This episode breaks down the neuroscience behind distraction and urgency and gives you a simple, actionable system to take your week (and your business) back.
In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Priority hijack vs. time management
- Urgency addiction and attentional bias
- Boundaries, interruptions, and cognitive switching cost
- Weekly architecture, decision fatigue, and Sunday planning
- Saying “not yet,” present bias, and the weekly close ritual
Key Takeaways:
- Feeling out of control is often a sign that your week is being run by other people’s agendas, not that you’re not working hard enough.
- Your brain is wired to treat anything urgent and noisy as important, so you must consciously define one non‑negotiable task each day and do it before the “car alarms” start.
- Constant interruptions carry a heavy cognitive switching cost, silently killing hours of deep, revenue‑generating work unless you intentionally build and enforce boundaries.
- Without a clear weekly architecture and pre-decided blocks for key activities, you spend your days in reactive mode and burn precious energy on endless micro-decisions.
- A simple weekly close, such as reviewing what moved you forward, what got in the way, and your top three priorities for next week, turns chaotic, repeating weeks into a compounding engine of clarity and progress.
"At the start of every single day before you open your email or your phone, write down your one non-negotiable task for that day and do that first before any of those car alarms go off." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

You already know what to do, so why aren’t you doing it? Here’s how working with your brain instead of against it can help you follow through.
In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Understanding the knowing-doing gap
- Acting before feeling ready
- Reducing mental overload from open loops
- Focusing on real progress over busywork
Key Takeaways:
- The struggle to take action is not about laziness or lack of discipline. It is rooted in how your brain is wired to respond to uncertainty and pressure. When you understand this, you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your brain.
- That feeling of “I’m not ready” is often just your brain reacting to perceived risk. It treats visibility and uncertainty like real threats, even when they are not. Learning to move forward despite that feeling is key to making progress.
- Unfinished tasks quietly drain your focus and energy in the background. Writing everything down helps your brain release that tension and regain clarity. This creates space to focus on what actually matters.
- Not all tasks move you forward, even if they feel productive. It is easy to get stuck doing low-impact work that gives quick wins but no real results. Shifting toward actions that create real outcomes is what drives growth.
"You don’t need to do more. You need to do what matters." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

Feeling exhausted before your week even starts? In Founder Fatigue: Why Your Week Starts Exhausted and How to Stop It, discover why founders burn out, how decision overload and reaction mode drain your energy, and actionable strategies to regain focus, energy, and traction.
What if you could get more done without running on empty? Master your energy, not just your time, and watch your week shift.
In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Resetting the week
- Reducing decision fatigue
- Starting the day proactively
- Focusing on energizing work
Key Takeaways:
- Unfinished tasks and mental clutter from Friday roll straight into Monday. A simple Friday reset means listing what’s left, deciding what to schedule or delegate, and picking your top three priorities, giving your mind a clean slate.
- Every small choice, from emails to scrolling, eats away at your focus. Planning your week, time-blocking priority work, and standardizing recurring tasks frees your energy for what matters most.
- Jumping straight into notifications puts you on defense. Protect the first hour for planning and tackling one high-impact task. This helps you start the day with control and momentum.
- Some tasks drain you while others lift you up. Identify what energizes you and reshape your schedule to spend more time on the work that matters. This keeps your energy high and your week moving forward.

Are you busy all day but still feel stuck? Learn why effort without focus is limiting your traction, and what to do instead.
In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Distinguishing busy work from high-impact productivity
- Shifting from reactive firefighting to deliberate execution
- Clarifying top priorities to focus growth efforts
- Establishing systems and a weekly rhythm for consistent progress
Key Takeaways:
- Focus on 1 to 3 high-impact tasks daily to create momentum rather than checking minor items. Sharp prioritization drives measurable progress.
- Protect dedicated power blocks (60–120 minutes) for uninterrupted execution. Concentrated focus yields deeper work and results.
- Define weekly top priorities tied to growth, product, or efficiency to avoid scattered effort. Alignment keeps activities revenue-oriented.
- Build a repeatable weekly rhythm and review cadence so consistency beats motivation. Routine + measurement enables continuous improvement.

You don’t have to push harder to get through midlife. Learning to restore energy, reduce stress, and work with your body can help you feel strong, clear, and resilient again.
About Bria Gadd: Bria Gadd is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer who specializes in female hormones, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre- and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos. Her podcast, The Period Whisperer, is a top 1% wellness podcast in the world with an Instagram following of over 17,000. Bria has been featured in Fox News, Women's Health, and top women's podcasts, such as The MidLife Makeover Show, to name a few.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Bria Gadd discuss:
- Understanding the real difference between perimenopause and menopause
- Recognizing health debt as the root issue
- Avoiding strategies that increase stress and backfire
- Rebuilding health through foundational habits and informed testing
Key Takeaways:
- Menopause is a single milestone reached one year after the final menstrual cycle. Perimenopause is the long transition leading up to that point, often beginning in the mid-30s. Most symptoms attributed to menopause are actually signs of perimenopause and hormonal transition.
- Health debt occurs when the body’s energy demands exceed its available energy supply. Sleep, nutrition, joy, and purpose determine whether the body thrives or enters survival mode. Many midlife symptoms stem from accumulated health debt rather than hormones alone.
- Eating less and exercising harder can worsen symptoms when the body is already depleted. Excess stress elevates cortisol and deepens survival responses like weight retention and fatigue. Recovery begins by restoring energy availability, not increasing pressure on the system.
- Consistent sleep, gentle movement, balanced meals, and stress discharge restore energy balance. When basics are solid, functional testing can reveal deeper root causes beyond standard labs. Perimenopause is a signal to lead the body with intention and build resilience for the decades ahead.
"Care about your body, become that CEO, and be more in your life, and not just less on the scale." — Bria Gadd

Known as a confidence mentor and author of Unapologetically You: How to Stop Shrinking and Discover the Power Within You, Ernie creates safe spaces for learning and equips others with tangible tools for personal and professional growth—showing that confidence and continuous development are accessible to anyone willing to take action.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ernelita discuss:
- Understanding shyness and introversion clearly
- Building confidence through repeated action
- Reclaiming self-confidence without guilt
- Practicing confidence with tools, support, and intention
Key Takeaways:
- Introversion is about how you recharge, not whether you like people. Shyness shows up as hesitation to initiate, speak, or step forward. Recognizing the difference allows shyness to be treated as a skill to strengthen, not a fixed identity.
- Confidence is not a personality trait but the courage to act despite fear. Self-doubt never disappears; its volume lowers when action becomes habitual. Repetition builds skill, and skill steadily turns into confidence.
- Self-confidence begins with trusting and prioritizing yourself first. Caring for yourself is not selfish because burnout harms everyone you serve. Filling your own cup creates the capacity to lead, support, and give sustainably.
- Mentors, coaches, and faith help you borrow belief until your own grows. Introverted leaders build trust by asking questions and involving others. Simple habits like acting before perfect clarity and celebrating progress reinforce confidence over time.
"You cannot give what you do not have. When your cup is empty, it starts with us first. Hence it's called self-confidence, not confidence... You have to have that conviction, that belief, that trust in yourself first, in order for you to give that and relate it to others." — Ernelita Dacumos

You don’t have to choose between ambition and peace. Here’s how clarity, systems, and honest self-reflection help working mothers thrive with purpose, confidence, and a lighter heart.
About Julia Sewell: Julia Sewell is THE Self-Made Mom, founder and author of the transformative movement equipping working mothers to thrive at home and at work—without compromise. For over two decades, Julia has blended strategy, vulnerability, and real-life experience to empower women to build intentional, high-performing, and fulfilling lives—rooted in joy and intention—proving you don’t have to choose between your ambition and your family.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Julia discuss:
- Reframing the struggle
- Building systems that lighten the load
- Leading at home with clarity
- Redefining worth and asking for help
Key Takeaways:
- Many mothers wrestle with ambition and responsibility while often feeling isolated in the tension. Real growth begins when personal crises spark self-reflection and intentional change. Support, honesty, and healthier communication transform overwhelm into momentum.
- Balance is a myth because life moves like a pendulum between shifting priorities. Structured systems like plans, checklists, and calendars create space for focus and flexibility. These tools reduce guilt and help mothers navigate demands without carrying everything alone.
- Skills from business, such as delegation, leadership, and systems thinking, belong in the home as much as the workplace. Regular family check-ins and clear expectations empower everyone. Sharing responsibilities strengthens relationships and eases the burden on mothers.
- A mother’s value is not tied to productivity or constant service. Intentional self-care and personal success nourish the whole family. Asking for help models strength and creates a home where support flows freely.
"You can create systems and apply formulas to your life that will make it easier to execute on a daily basis. Easier equals more joy, which is... the whole goal." — Julia Sewell

Greatness isn’t found in striving — it unfolds when we quiet the noise, reconnect with who we truly are, and live in alignment with our values.
About Dharma Shakti: Dharma Shakti, LMT, CAS, ERYT500, RYS, and Certified High Performance Coach, is the founder of The Empowered Way and Yogalution Movement, a donation-based yoga community known for making yoga accessible to all. A teacher of authentic yoga philosophy since 2005 and a Clinical Ayurveda Specialist since 2007, Dharma was trained in traditional ashrams under Swami Sitaramananda and has studied with teachers across the U.S. and India. With over 5,000 teaching hours, she blends classical yoga, spiritual wisdom, and high-performance coaching—earning her the nickname “The Tony Robbins of Yoga.” She is also the creator of Yoga On The Bluff, a free daily outdoor yoga experience in Long Beach, CA, and her mission is to empower people to awaken their inner greatness, live authentically, and remember their inherent purpose and worth.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Dharma discuss:
- How childhood conditioning shapes identity
- Using yoga philosophy to reconnect with your true self
- Self-awareness is the key to transformation
- How courage and mentorship unlock inner greatness
Key Takeaways:
- Authenticity begins with awareness. Many people feel disconnected because they’re repeating subconscious thoughts about not being enough, and self-reflection is the doorway back to alignment.
- Greatness often looks simple, not grand. It’s expressed through the natural ways you love, support, and uplift others, not through fame or recognition.
- Congruence is the antidote to feeling lost. Feeling stuck usually signals that your actions and values are misaligned, and realignment starts with returning to what you deeply believe.
- Purpose reveals itself when you show up intentionally. Small, consistent actions create clarity because purpose emerges through movement, not waiting.
"You have a seed of the core of who you are, and there is something purposeful ingrained within it, but it needs the right environment." — Dharma Shakti

Growth isn’t born from comfort — it’s built through consistent intention, disciplined habits, and a mind open to change. When you choose to live with purpose rather than momentum, every day becomes a deliberate step toward the life you actually want.
About Carlos Villarreal: Carlos Villarreal is a Certified High Performance Coach and business growth partner who helps entrepreneurs and executives grow faster, lead with confidence, and sustain high performance. With more than 40 years of business experience, Carlos began his career in retail and later transitioned into corporate leadership before discovering his true passion in business consulting. After a serious health diagnosis, he made the bold decision to leave corporate in 2018 to focus on making a greater impact. Since then, Carlos has built a successful coaching and consulting practice, guiding business owners and leaders to scale their businesses while living and leading at their best.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Carlos discuss:
- Reevaluating life through challenge
- Adopting empowering mindsets
- Fueling performance with healthy habits
- Building growth through a daily framework
Key Takeaways:
- Major disruptions can be catalysts for reassessing direction and priorities. Clarity often emerges when comfort is stripped away. Intentional change begins with an honest evaluation of what truly matters.
- Believing that circumstances serve growth creates resilience and momentum. Mindset, modeling, and consistency form a reliable path to progress. Learning from others accelerates success when paired with disciplined action.
- High performance begins with treating the body as a foundation for energy. Food, rest, and routines should support long-term focus and vitality. Daily habits determine the sustainability of professional and personal goals.
- Focusing on service, connection, and creation maintains meaningful progress. Centering personal growth ensures each action aligns with purpose. Small, consistent steps compound into significant long-term results.
"The three most important things that I can impact on a daily basis...are coaching, connecting, and creation, with growth at the center." — Carlos Villarreal

Flexibility doesn’t mean compromise; it can be the key to thriving at work and at home. Wendy Cocke shares how intentional strategies, clear communication, and self-trust unlock career growth without sacrificing family priorities.
About Wendy Cocke: As a working mother, Wendy Cocke defines success on her own terms. Early in her career, she successfully negotiated flexible work arrangements without slowing her advancement, ultimately authoring two best-selling books: Making Flex Work and Reimagine Your Work. With over 20 years of leading international technical teams in Fortune 500 R&D, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing, Wendy now runs Engineering Leadership Solutions, helping high-achieving technical professionals and organizations rethink how they work.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Wendy discuss:
- Redefining success through flexibility and intention
- Communicating value in clear business language
- Modeling leadership that normalizes healthy boundaries
- Strengthening both home and work through teamwork and trust
Key Takeaways:
- Career growth doesn’t require abandoning family priorities; flexible arrangements can open new paths forward. Trial periods offer a safe structure for organizations to experiment. Defining success on your own terms leads to healthier, sustainable choices.
- Requests for flexibility land stronger when framed around time, money, and resources rather than personal needs. Positioning proposals in business terms builds credibility and alignment. This approach increases support and drives mutually beneficial outcomes.
- Leaders who practice transparency about their flexible schedules create environments where balance is respected. Their example helps teams feel empowered to advocate for their own needs. Healthy leadership reshapes workplace expectations for everyone.
- Running the household as a shared team builds responsibility, confidence, and better habits. These dynamics reflect positively in workplace collaboration and mindset. Trusting yourself—and refusing to accept a “no” from someone who can’t give a “yes”—fuels confident advocacy.
"You know what is best for you, and you know what you are willing to do to make that happen. You are tough, and you will figure out the ways to be successful." — Wendy Cocke

Hesitation can cost more than time—it can cost opportunities and growth. Learn how becoming a “doer” transforms your leadership, habits, and life.
About Michael Pope Jr: Michael J. Pope Jr. is an international keynote speaker, leadership coach, and Executive Director with Maxwell Leadership. Known as The Hesitation Breaker, he helps high-achievers overcome doubt and step boldly into action through his signature DO-ER framework—Discipline, One Thing, Eliminate Excuses, and Responsibility. With over 28 years of experience in technology and leadership, Michael equips leaders to take ownership, boost productivity, and create lasting impact. He is also the author of DO-ERs Win The Day, a guide to transforming hesitation into consistent daily success.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Michael discuss:
- Leading through influence
- Overcoming hesitation with action
- Building self-leadership through routines
- Accelerating growth through support
Key Takeaways:
- True leadership goes beyond titles, relying on the ability to inspire others. Influence, not authority, defines effective leadership and impact. Mentors like John Maxwell show the power of leading by example.
- The Doer Framework helps move past inaction by focusing on discipline and responsibility. Prioritizing the “one thing” ensures progress even when motivation is low. Hesitation leads to missed opportunities, while decisive action transforms outcomes.
- Daily routines and intentional habits form the foundation for growth. Small wins accumulate over time to create long-term success. Consistency strengthens confidence, focus, and personal resilience.
- Coaching, mentorship, and community help reveal blind spots and foster growth. Taking ownership of development ensures continuous improvement. Combining guidance with daily accountability reinforces progress and achievement.
"Responsibility means being in control of how you think and respond to situations, as well as how you use your time and energy." — Michael Pope Jr.

You don’t have to drift to feel driven. Here’s how clarity, vulnerability, and daily reflection can help you lead with purpose instead of pressure.
About Chris Robinson: Chris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership and author of From Drift to Drive. He leads the global expansion of the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, a premier community of coaches, speakers, and trainers developed by Dr. John C. Maxwell. With over two decades of experience, Chris specializes in equipping leaders across industries with the skills and mindset for meaningful impact. Known for his authentic approach and dynamic speaking style, he highlights the dangers of "success-induced complacency" and offers strategies for sustained excellence. As a dedicated coach and lifelong learner, Chris inspires professionals to transform comfortable success into purposeful growth, empowering them to maximize their potential and make a lasting difference.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Chris discuss:
- Shifting from success to significance
- Embracing vulnerability as a leadership strength
- Recognizing and reversing the drift
- Building circles that drive accountability and growth
Key Takeaways:
- True fulfillment doesn’t come from titles or achievements but from using your success to serve others. Chris reminds leaders that when goals are purely self-focused, meaning fades fast, and clarity only returns when we start helping others grow.
- Modern leadership isn’t about having all the answers but knowing who to ask. By releasing control and empowering others to contribute solutions, leaders open space for growth, collaboration, and genuine trust within their teams.
- Drift shows up as comfort, busyness, or delay disguised as productivity. Chris explains that leaders lose drive when they stop acting with intention, saying “later” more than “now,” or consuming knowledge without applying it.
- No one thrives alone. Chris urges leaders to find mentors who model the future they want and to surround themselves with like-minded people moving in the same direction, because growth happens faster in intentional communities.
"If I always hold on to what I have, I’ll never have the opportunity to get more. But if I open my hands and say, I don’t have all the answers, then I can grab more things." — Chris Robinson

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Understanding procrastination as an emotional issue
- Applying the ACT framework to move forward
- Finding clarity through imperfect action
- Rebuilding confidence by doing one small thing
Key Takeaways:
- Procrastination isn’t caused by laziness or lack of drive. It often stems from avoiding uncomfortable feelings tied to fear, doubt, or overwhelm. Recognizing this helps shift from guilt to growth.
- Awareness, Choice, and Tiny Actions (ACT) form the path to change. Know what you’re avoiding, choose what truly matters, and start with one small, imperfect step. Progress begins when you act.
- Waiting for the perfect moment only feeds hesitation. Clarity grows when you take consistent steps, learning and adjusting as you go. Action reveals what waiting cannot.
- Procrastination erodes self-belief, but even a single step restores it. Choose one task you’ve been putting off, take action today, and celebrate the momentum it creates.

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Action over perfection
- Decide with intention
- Confidence is built, not found
- Leadership requires a bold presence
Key Takeaways:
- Progress comes from movement, not waiting for the “perfect” moment. Imperfect action beats polished hesitation every time.
- Indecision drains momentum. Strong leaders make conscious choices, understanding that not deciding is, in itself, a decision.
- Consistency breeds belief. Confidence grows through repeated effort, not through external validation or passive preparation.
- True leadership means showing up, even in fear. Leading isn’t about feeling ready—it’s about choosing to rise and move forward.

- The myth of managing time
- Energy management is critical
- Setting boundaries
- Indicators of stress
Key Takeaways:
- Stress isn't about managing time, but about emotional weight and self-imposed pressure. Remember that your worth is not tied to productivity.
- Humans have natural energy rhythms, unlike machines. Listen to your body's energy cycles. Align work with peak energy levels instead of rigid time blocking.
- Stress comes from a lack of boundaries, not a lack of time. Learn to say no and protect your energy. Boundaries are bridges to protect your well-being, not selfish acts.
- Check your energy levels when feeling stressed. Identify where you're "leaking energy" in your day. Common energy drains include checking emails constantly, people pleasing, saying yes when you mean no, and feeling guilty during rest.
"Time management is only surface level... what we need to focus on is below the surface, the real iceberg, which is the expectations, the self-judgment, and the pressure beneath it all." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Stress is a signal, not a status symbol
- Check your inner expectations
- Progress over perfection
- Let go to move forward
Key Takeaways:
- If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's not because you're weak; it's because something needs care. Pay attention to what your stress is trying to tell you.
- It's not always the to-do list that drains you, it’s the pressure you put on yourself. Ask: What am I expecting of myself that no one else is?
- You don’t need perfect conditions to move forward. The real win is in starting, learning, and growing as you go.
- Success isn’t about doing more, it’s about releasing what’s weighing you down. Let go so that you can move forward.
"You don't need to do more to feel better. You need to release what's weighing you down." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Confidence growth comes from within
- Factors that hold women entrepreneurs back
- How to build confidence
- The power of creating your own validation
Key Takeaways:
- Confidence is a skill, not a fixed trait. It can be developed through action and practice, and is based on your belief in your own abilities and self-worth, not external validation.
- Women entrepreneurs often make the mistake of waiting for permission from others (clients, mentors, family) before taking action, which holds them back from success.
- Action builds confidence. Taking bold steps, even when you don't feel completely ready, helps you grow and develop self-assurance. The more you do something, the more confident you become.
- Create your own validation through a "confidence wins journal" by documenting your achievements, risks taken, and challenges overcome. This helps train your brain to recognize your own power and capabilities.
"The only validation you need is the results you create, not other people's opinion." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Finances are about more than just money
- Defining your core soul needs
- Retirement is a part of the journey
- Pursue your passions, live without regrets
Key Takeaways:
- Your finances are not just about money, but an integral part of your life and how you engage with the world. Focus on understanding your identity, beliefs, and values to align your finances with your life goals and dreams.

- View retirement as a stage in life, not a destination. Develop identities and personal growth outside of your career, so you don't retire into a void of identity.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Pursuing goals without neglecting relationships
- Don’t treat relationships like projects
- The key to meaningful relationships
- Vulnerability and authenticity strengthen connections with loved ones
Key Takeaways:
- High achievers often neglect quality time and emotional connection in their relationships due to a focus on professional goals.
- Treating relationships like a project rather than nurturing them can lead to a transactional approach. The book "Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" is recommended to help reconnect with a partner.
- Scheduling emotional check-ins and being present at the moment are important for maintaining meaningful relationships.
- Practicing emotional vulnerability and authenticity, rather than projecting strength and control, can help build deeper connections with loved ones.
"Relationships are not checklists of things to complete. They're more like a garden that requires nurturing. You gotta go pull the weeds out, prune the trees, water it, fertilize it. You gotta spend time in the garden if you want to get fruits and flowers."

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Strengthening your connection
- Positive balance in your relationship bank account
- How the mirror effect works
- Taking intentional steps to reconnect and strengthen relationships
Key Takeaways:
- Diagnose and actively reconnect with important people when you feel the relationship connection weakening, similar to a poor Wi-Fi signal. Spend quality time and genuinely listen to them.
- Maintain a positive balance in your emotional "relationship bank account" by making daily deposits through expressions of gratitude, texts, and quality time. This prevents the account from becoming overdrawn.
- The energy and positivity you bring into a relationship can have a "mirror effect", causing others to reflect that same energy back. Showing up with vibrant energy can shift the dynamics.
- Small, intentional steps to reconnect and strengthen important relationships can make your life richer and more meaningful. Don't wait for the perfect time, take action now.
"If you show up with vibrant, positive energy, they're gonna reflect the same thing back to you."

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Relationships are foundational
- Be present, not just available
- Quality is better than quantity
- Scheduling time with your loved ones
Key Takeaways:
- Relationships are a foundational pillar of high performance, alongside career success and maintaining well-being. Neglecting relationships can lead to feelings of emptiness and unhappiness.
- Being truly present, not just available, is crucial for building meaningful connections. This involves giving someone your undivided attention, free from distractions.
- Quality of interactions matters more than quantity when it comes to nurturing relationships. Small, consistent habits like expressing appreciation can help make meaningful deposits into your "emotional bank account."
- Scheduling time with loved ones, just as you would schedule work or other priorities, helps ensure relationships are prioritized and not overlooked amidst a busy schedule.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Prioritizing the tasks with the highest impact
- Categorizing your tasks through the 4D system
- Manage your energy, not your time
- Eliminating unrealistic expectations
Key Takeaways:
- Focus on the one most impactful task each day. Identify the "needle mover" that will have the biggest domino effect on your other tasks. Don't get bogged down in trying to multitask - prioritize this one key task and tackle it first before moving on to other items.
- Use the 4D system to categorize your tasks - do, delegate, delay, or delete. This helps you reduce decision fatigue and focus your energy on the essential tasks you need to personally complete. Don't be afraid to ask for help from others to delegate certain items.
- Manage your energy levels, not just your time. Pay attention to when you have high energy versus low energy periods during the day. Schedule your most important, cognitively-demanding work for your high energy times to maximize productivity and avoid burnout.
- Eliminate "shoulds" and unrealistic expectations. Let go of outdated beliefs or societal pressures that are weighing you down. Focus on aligning your tasks and goals with your true values and priorities. Celebrate small wins along the way rather than waiting for the big goal to be achieved.
"It's not about doing more, but it's about doing what matters with intention. So take action on the steps that I shared with you today, and watch how small, focused efforts are going to lead you to big wins."

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Clearing out your suitcase to prepare for the new year
- From unrealistic expectations to realistic boundaries
- Decluttering your physical and digital spaces
- Resetting your mindset and practicing forgiveness
Key Takeaways:
- Let go of your guilt from unfinished projects before the new year starts. Clear out your “overstuffed suitcase” so that you can make space for new achievements. Write down three achievements from the year and celebrate their progress.
- Set boundaries to avoid burnout and perfectionism. Identify unrealistic expectations and replace them with realistic boundaries. Limit your time with toxic people to maintain a positive and energized state.
- Dedicate 15 minutes to clear up physical clutter in your workspace and home to improve your overall productivity. Clean environment brings forth fresh ideas. Declutter digital spaces such as your email as well. Unsubscribe from unwanted email lists.
- Reset your mindset by practicing self-forgiveness and forgiveness towards others. Apply this by writing a forgiveness letter to yourself or others to release negative thoughts and emotions. Read new books monthly to grow skills, think positively, and create a more positive mindset for the new year.
"You can't step into the next chapter holding on to everything from the past, letting go of guilt, clutter, and outdated expectations. It isn't just about clearing space, but what it does is it gives you renewed energy. It increases your joy and it increases your power. You deserve to enter the new year feeling lighter, freer, and more aligned to the life that you want to create for yourself." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Angélica Ponder: Angélica believes every single person has potential. What she loves most is helping people recognize the greatness inside them, often before they even see it in themselves.
She was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia by a single mom working three jobs. She moved to the U.S. with her mom at the age of 15 speaking little English and leaving behind her family, culture and home. She not only values cultural diversity but is a proponent of diversity of thought.
After spending 20 years leading high-performing teams and racking accolades, Angélica decided to bet on herself and founded Angelica Ponder Consulting Solutions, LLC in 2022. Angélica’s coaching and consulting practice is committed to aligning people and processes through the power of learning. She is a compassionate and thought-provoking partner who supports and challenges others to become more self-aware so that they may fully explore their interests and needs, and ultimately create a vision and action plan that leverages their strengths in favor of their personal and professional goals.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Angélica Ponder discuss:
- Unlocking your potential
- Allowing vulnerability and embracing authenticity
- Applying harmony in one’s life
- Short-term and long-term strategies for aligning with the self
Key Takeaways:
- Confidence unlocks potential, and embracing a winning mindset is crucial for success. True success stems from internal fulfillment rather than external validation or societal expectations.
- Removing the invisible "armor" of expectations allows vulnerability and redefining success on one's own terms. Shedding limiting beliefs and societal expectations can be uncomfortable initially but embracing authenticity is worth it.
- Work should not constitute the entirety of life; aim for harmony by being present in each moment. High achievers may sense something missing, and coaching can help uncover core values and align pursuits accordingly.
- Short-term strategies like gratitude journaling, breathwork, mindfulness, and hot yoga can provide peace and community. Examine your personal values, internal/external expectations, and self-imposed expectations to eliminate misalignment with the true self.
"All these layers on the armor makes us think that winning is an outside game, that it's all about the validation and the successes we receive. But in reality, success is about what I've uncovered about myself internally." — Angélica Ponder

- Seeing your life and goals with clarity
- Surround yourself with a community
- Commit to being consistent
- Caring for your greatest asset
Key Takeaways:
- Clarity is essential for assessing your current situation and for looking toward your future goals. Imagine what achievements you’d like to celebrate by the end of the year. Identify the tasks that have a significant impact and prioritize those.
- Don’t walk the journey alone. Surround yourself with a network of high achievers, so that you can get fresh ideas, encouragement, and the support that you need. Listen to other people’s experience and perspective so that you can gain encouragement and hope.
- Take a step forward in the right direction consistently and you’ll get to your destination at the right time. Stick to your commitment even when it’s tough, develop a routine, and create a schedule.
- In order for you to be consistent, you need to take care of your greatest entrepreneurial or professional asset: your own body and mind. Take time to take care of yourself so that you can avoid burnout and overwhelming stress. Practice activities that bring joy to your life.
"Community is important, because when you leverage your network of fellow business owners and mentors, you get support, you get fresh ideas, you get encouragement, and you may also get some partnerships that can accelerate your year-end growth." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Living life with intention
- The power of consistent effort
- Investing in your growth
- Prioritizing what matters
Key Takeaways:
- Be intentional about making decisions for your future self, not only for your current situation. Make decisions that will make future-you happy, fulfilled, and closer to your goals and dreams.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Reflect on where you are
- Evaluate and navigate
- Create an action plan
- Lead yourself, be accountable
Key Takeaways:
- It is impossible to navigate to where you want to be if you don’t know where you are at the moment. You need to have a point of reference in order to proceed in the right direction. Look at your life areas and see where you are at in each one.
- Determine what’s working for you and what is not. We need to know what the gaps are so that we can close those gaps. Go back to the goals you’ve set out at the start of the year or the projects that you planned to do and evaluate each one whether you want to continue with them or not.
- Now that you have an idea of where you’re at and where you want to go, it’s time to think about what action you can take to close the gap and move forward in the right direction.
- This is by far, the hardest job but also the most necessary. Once you have determined a goal and created a plan that will get you there, all that’s left to do is to hold yourself accountable to that and execute your plan.

In this episode, Chabidaye and Dr. Erin discuss:
- Starting With Open-Mindedness
- The Power Of The Pause
- Planning For Success
- The Strength In Asking for Support
- The Selflessness Of Self-Care
Key Takeaways:
- Open-mindedness is critical for growth. It’s absolutely essential that we start with this before getting to the other parts of the framework because, without open-mindedness, the whole thing falls apart before it can even begin.
- When we pause, we get ourselves used to using our brain’s executive functions. When we train that part of us, we become better thinkers and decision-makers. We become less reactive and more decisive and proactive.
- No matter how big a goal is, it’s the little steps you take that will get you there. Break down that big goal into bite-sized chunks and make yourself accountable to doing all those little steps consistently. Then, you’ll get the outcome that you want.
- Delegation doesn’t just empower you to be your best self, it also empowers those that you take on the journey with you to success. Making people a part of your team makes them a part of the solution and therefore, it also makes them a part of your victory. It’s a win-win-win situation!
- Spend intentional time taking care of yourself. It’s not selfish because it will help you serve others better. If you want to do more good and do it consistently and sustainably, then you need to practice the discipline of self-care. Yes, it’s a discipline - an essential.
"Lower that bar and just get started with that one thing, one step in the right direction. And that will create the momentum to carry you through to those bigger things that you want to accomplish.." — Dr. Erin Hurley

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- The S.T.R.E.S.S framework to utilize when you feel stressed
- Listening to and challenging your negative thoughts
- Sharing your struggle with others
- Setting boundaries and creating good habits
Key Takeaways:
- The best thing you can do when you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stressed is to get up and walk away. Take a few minutes off. Change the environment you’re in. Seek out the sunlight, have a cup of coffee, and walk around. Do anything you can to change your environment at the moment.
- Listen to your thoughts and challenge each one of them. Ask yourself what actions you can take or what you can start doing to improve your situation.
- Share your situation with your trusted people. By talking things through, you might realize what your next steps could be. You might even gain a better perspective once you hear what other people think or even discover solutions that got others through a similar situation.
- Be mindful of your energy when you feel stressed. Raise your energy by going for a walk, doing some exercise, or listening to music. Do the things that lift you up and make you feel better. It will help you think of possible solutions to the stress you’re feeling.
- When you see stress invading your thoughts and shifting your day, then practice the framework and take back control. Recognize the impact that this stressor has on your overall life and your ability to focus on your priorities. Overcome the stress and go back to the things that you had planned for that day.
- When you hit moments of stress, you fall back automatically on your habits. If you form good habits, then you can get back up quickly out of stress.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- The five reasons why resolutions fail
- The three elements of habit creation
- The power of habits
- High-performance habits
Key Takeaways:
- Resolutions fail because they often lack clarity, are usually focused on the outcome, and are only concerned with surface-level behavior instead of underlying habits. They are also usually pursued in isolation and don’t take emotional factors into account.
- The cue triggers the behavior that makes the brain reorganize itself and create neural pathways which leads to dopamine rewarding the person with positive feelings. This process creates a habit loop and makes habits eventually become automatic.
- Habits are powerful! They are automated, created through consistency, form positive routines, instill resilience, and are the building blocks to creating positive outcomes or changes in your life.
- Here are the five high-performance habits: clarity, productivity, energy, influence, and courage. These habits are proven to be effective in the lives of many of the world’s best high-performing people.

- Whatever dream or goal you have in mind, no matter how big or small it is, start it. Lay down the foundation and build upon it as you go. If you keep going, you’re going to create momentum.
- Enrolling others in the journey will not only make the journey more enjoyable and more efficient, it will also bring growth for you and the people that you enroll.
- Repetition builds skills because they become a habit. Once a habit has been created, it becomes automatic and will take less time, energy, and effort to keep doing.
- Having a vision will help you by giving you clarity on what impact you desire to create with your words, behavior, energy, and goals.
- When you feel empowered, you become unstoppable. Things take time, but when you have clarity and empowerment, nothing can stop you from reaching what it is you want to achieve.
"If you find people around you who are going through something similar or they've been through that already and they're a little further on the journey, you find that it makes the journey a little bit more beautiful because you know that you can get through it." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Stop and let go
- More of what you love
- Start something new
- Measures are your GPS
Key Takeaways:
- Let go of all the things that no longer serve you. Declutter your workspace as well as your mind. Identify the things that you don’t serve you, write them down, and commit to changing them in the upcoming year.
- The goal is to keep and increase the things that you loved having and experiencing this year. Filling your time with more of the things that you love will help you become more grateful and happier.
- Ask yourself this question: “if I had more courage, what would I start doing?” Take what you have in mind, step out in faith and courage, and make that thing a reality.
- A lot of New Year’s resolutions fail because people set goals, but don’t set measures. If you set measures and make yourself accountable to them, then you can protect yourself from slipping back into how you were before.

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- The real problem with work-life balance
- Setting boundaries for balance
- Making your habits serve you
- Discovering your priority and creating harmony
Key Takeaways:
- Work-life balance is not really a balance issue. The issue is that we have no boundaries and we let activities bleed into all other aspects of life.
- Shift your perspective from balancing hours to introducing boundaries for your work time, your family time, and your personal time. Measure yourself on each key area.
- Our habits shape most of our actions during the day. If your habits are not supporting you, then know that you have the power to change them and you must change them if you truly do want to create the balance that you want in your life.
- Knowing your top priority will help you make decisions in your life that are aligned with that. Being congruent with what matters in your heart will make you feel happier with yourself because you will feel that you are doing the thing that you need to do.

About Eunicia Peret: Are you worried that you are not “building wealth fast enough” or that your financial plan may not be enough to secure your future? Perhaps you hear the same strategies year after year when you file your taxes and are wondering “How do the ultra-wealthy pay limited to no taxes”? Eunicia Peret brings to awareness The Power of Leveraging Your Financial Team to maximize your income streams and pay fewer taxes. She has seen enough to know that without the proper strategies, everything else is just tactics in motion.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Eunicia discuss:
- Blindspots and pitfalls in finances
- How to gain financial freedom
- The importance of alignment in finances
- Finding and fixing financial leakages
Key Takeaways:
- There are a lot of ways individuals can get robbed of their money that the financial services industry doesn’t address because they are not incentivized to talk about it.
- The key to gaining freedom and peace of mind is to address the problems and look into those blindspots and money-stealing mistakes. By doing that, you’ll be able to gain a level of awareness and comfort.
- Financial management goes beyond just merely knowing where to put your money, but also in how aligned and connected you feel with the decisions that you make.
- Assess the money that’s coming in and see where it’s going. If we can identify where the financial leakages are, then we can redeploy them for our own financial gain, thus relieving some of those fears.
"Let’s unpack those concerns and figure out what is driving them because those concerns, coupled with a wrong financial strategy, will do nothing more than continue to perpetuate those feelings of fear [and] uncertainty." — Eunicia Peret

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Starting with self-leadership
- Managing your time, priorities, and energy
- Clearing your open tabs of thought
- Thinking before you speak
Key Takeaways:
- Start by leading yourself. Make better choices by thinking how a leader does and develop a better attitude. When you are in a bad situation or bad environment, you can either become influenced by the environment or choose to influence the environment by choosing to be different.
- Manage your time, manage your priorities, and manage your energy. Don’t waste your time with agenda-less meetings. Set goals and organize tasks by priorities. Give updates to your boss and remember to always be mindful of the energy you give out.
- Keep a notebook with you. As things come up during the day, write them down so that you can let those thoughts go. Keep your head clear and make some room in your mind.
- Take a pause, take a minute or two, and think about what message you want to convey so that when you open your mouth to speak, you’ll be able to say it very succinctly. Don’t waste time with excuses, instead, take ownership.
"Remember, good leadership is like a ray of sunshine, and it gets noticed the most after a rainy day. Let your results pave the way for your success." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Top five things that drain your confidence
- Competence-confidence loop
- Surrounding yourself with encouraging people and positive thoughts
- The most important step to take
Key Takeaways:
- Here are the top five things that drain your confidence: comparison with others, the fear of rejection and judgment, lack of skill and preparation, an unsupportive environment, and negative self-talk.
- Create a foundation for your confidence built out of knowledge and skills. There is what is called a competence-confidence loop, it’s rooted in psychology and human development. The idea is that gaining competence can lead to increased confidence and vice-versa.
- Surround yourself with individuals who encourage your growth and have a similar or same goal. While we get rid of toxic thoughts, let’s introduce positive ones. Find affirmations that uplift you and take a little pride in yourself.
- The most important step to take is to take action. By taking action, you can gain mastery. Before you can have confidence, you need to have the courage to take the first step. Your confidence grows when you confront your fears.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- Leadership is all about developing relationships
- People gravitate toward leaders who win
- Helping your team members grow into their potential
- The pinnacle of leadership
Key Takeaways:
- You’re going to want to move out of the first level of leadership as quickly as you can by building and developing relationships with the team around you. Without relationships, you will only get compliance and not cooperation. People will only follow you to the extent of what’s written on their job description, and that’s it.
- By developing your relationship with your team and with people from other departments as well, you’ll be able to succeed in your goals. People will see your success and they will want to be in your team.
- Anyone in a leadership role has the power to either put down a team member or lift them up. Be a leader who sees people’s strengths, lifts them up, and helps them grow into their potential.
- The fifth level is the highest level of leadership and it’s something that might take your entire life to reach. The fifth level is when people follow you for who you are and what you represent.
"The first step in developing your leadership abilities is recognizing you are a leader and working on personal development so that you can lead yourself first." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- How your growth affects others
- When should you start taking leadership seriously?
- Growing faster and more effectively through coaching
- Taking responsibility for your team’s growth
Key Takeaways:
- People become what they see in you. If you are not growing and investing in yourself, then the team will also not grow. That’s when performance issues start popping up. Simple issues that could’ve been resolved immediately become one big fire that spreads throughout the organization.
- Leadership is influence and if you are influencing somebody right now, then you are already a leader. Don’t wait until you get the title or position, commit to becoming a better leader now.
- It is more effective and more enjoyable to take the journey of growth with a coach and a community. You need someone to keep you in check, keep you accountable to your commitment, keep you on track toward improvement, and measure your growth so that you know that you are getting somewhere, while also helping you maintain your relationship with your family.
- The greatest benefit of creating a truly efficient, high-performing, and reliable team is that you’ll be able to safely delegate tasks and trust them. This will improve the overall process of your team.
"Step into that power and start learning how to be a good leader. So that when you get that opportunity, when someone believes in you and taps you on the shoulder for that role, you can shine in that role, and you can lift your team." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:
- High-performance success
- Creating progress to build momentum
- Do you want to survive or thrive?
- You have enough time
Key Takeaways:
- High-performance coaching is about creating systems of self-improvement so that you can reach your meaning of success while also being able to have a deeper and closer relationship with the people that you love.
- Ask yourself this question: “What is the next right move for me?” Having clarity enables you to take action. Without clarity, you’ll find yourself stuck in procrastination and inaction.
- We are faced with two choices at every moment: do you want to survive? Or do you want to be extraordinary? The journey to becoming extraordinary is to learn and grow so that you are able to deal with life’s problems more effectively and that you are able to move beyond those.
- Everybody has dreams, but most feel like they are locked out of opportunity because they are too busy. You have the same amount of hours as everybody else. The problem isn’t that you don’t have enough time, the problem is that you do not yet know how to utilize your time effectively in order to achieve what you want.
"If I can help my clients take that next step, they make progress. And with progress, they build momentum, and they start moving faster eventually.." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Sara Centanni: Sara is a CPA by education turned high performance leadership coach and consultant. She helps ambitious women CFOs go from burnout, to a life of harmony and well-being so they can have more freedom and joy in their life.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Sara discuss:
- Symptoms of a burnout
- Go from surviving to thriving
- Designing the life that you want
- Juggling glass and plastic balls
Key Takeaways:
- Burnout is essentially being in that state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or chronic stress. The symptoms can be both physical and emotional: headache, exhaustion, detachment, a lack of motivation or energy.
- In order for you to get out of survival mode and learn to thrive, you have to practice self-care, set boundaries, and get support. Surviving is reacting while thriving is being proactive. It’s about setting goals and making thoughtful decisions to design the life that you want.
- Design the life that you want. Show up as your best self and gain control of your day by setting your intention and following up on it with daily action and honest accountability.
- Life is all about juggling a bunch of balls in the air, you have to figure out which ones are glass and which ones are plastic. Get clarity on what is important to you in your life. Recognize the parts of your life that would hurt most to lose. Your relationships, health, joy, and dreams, are examples of these.

Her message to the world is: "Success begins in your mind and lives in your heart."
In this episode, Chabidaye and Shiny discuss:
- Your brain’s automated process
- From victimhood to empowerment
- How to avoid acting on your default programming
- Mental blocks that you have to overcome
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how your brain works so that you can process information more effectively and grow faster and further. Examine your belief system and don’t make assumptions of other people’s beliefs.
- A mindset of victimhood will get you nowhere. You will have the tendency to blame others, to feel shame, to engage in self-pity and other negative habits. Take charge of your life, and move from a mindset of victimhood to a mindset of responsibility and empowerment.
- If you do not set goals or have intentional habits that point you in the direction that you want, your brain will decide based on its default programming which is mere survival.
- Don’t invalidate other people’s ideas or beliefs. They are not wrong, they just have a different perspective. Be open to understanding where other people are coming from, and don’t be too quick to judge and dismiss.
"If you are not intentional about this automatic programming in your brain, your brain is going to go ahead and make very heavy, messy, and hurtful meanings - we're going to stay in that victim mentality because it's the default setting." — Shiny Unsal

About Paula Tobey: Paula is a Certified Life and Health Transformation Coach, Author and Speaker. She helps people solve the problems of chronic health conditions that have not been fixed with a traditional doctor such as food sensitivity testing for those with auto-immune, diabetes, non-genetic cancers, etc. She understands that people living with these conditions are tired, frustrated, scared and overwhelmed, as she too has been there.
Paula recently published a book on Amazon called "Becoming a Phenomenal Mom, 5 Steps to a Healthier Life" that helps women of all ages and stages of life by providing encouragement and wisdom through her personal journey of what she learned about herself, her mental health and wellness through extensive research.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Paula discuss:
- Why your health matters
- Having the willingness to grow
- From growth-zone to glory-zone
- Three questions to ask when you feel stuck
Key Takeaways:
- Taking care of your physical and emotional health is foundational to living a healthier life. Without health, your emotional and skill growth would be all for nothing.
- Be willing to learn and grow, sharpen your tools through training and education. One of the areas which would always need sharpening is your financial knowledge. You have to know how to budget, save, and prepare for retirement.
- Be clear about who you are and what your purpose is. Invest time, money, and effort into your own growth. Then, impart the gift you’ve gained to others. That’s when you go from growth-zone to glory-zone.
- Step back and ask yourself, “what’s the next best thing I can do right now?” The next question you can ask yourself is, “what lesson can I learn from this right now?” Lastly, ask yourself, “what can I still be grateful for despite all that’s happening?”
"When you get into your zone of glory, where you are teaching and coaching and expelling the knowledge and the resources that you have gained to someone else. And that feeling of that amazing gift is something that just cannot be replicated." — Paula Tobey

Her upcoming book, Culture Impact, comprises of tools leaders need to create greater connection and influence drive the culture within their organizations.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Tiersa Hall discuss:
- The ever-present need for culture leadership in the workplace
- The first step towards good leadership
- Providing comfort and fulfillment
- The benefits of a truly connected culture
Key Takeaways:
- No matter how much we advance in technology, it won’t matter if we don’t have a leader in the organization that drives the culture and creates connections between people so that the team can relate with each other in a profound way.
- In order for you to grow to be the best leader that you can be, you have to start with self-awareness. Do you know who you are? Are you clear with what you want and what your passion is? Discover self-assessment strategies that you can try in order for you to find your authentic self.
- Two of the primary needs of employees that leaders must recognize is comfort and fulfillment. They have to create a space where team members feel safe enough to be accountable to the leaders and other members of the team.
- Culture is not just about people and emotions, it’s about the depth and meaningfulness of relationships and the skill gaps that are closed as a result of a deeper connection between people.
"For us to be able to have these deep-rooted relationships that will create longevity, we'll also create succession, because generations are now facing retirement, which means you now have to pass on not just knowledge of skill, but also that same concept of human connection and growth. So this is why leaders become the forefront and focus." — Tiersa Hall

About Renee Pride: Renee is passionate about working with others to find their “someday” vision and work consistently towards bringing it to fruition.
Having been surrounded by strong, impactful leaders early on and throughout life - Renee believes that embracing the leader within us and making an all-out effort to become the best we are capable of becoming is a life worth living!
The Ponytail CEO brand signifies that inward feeling of digging deep, pulling the “hair” back, and getting down to business to get things done. That's you? Join our squad!
In this episode, Chabidaye and Renee discuss:
- The advantage of clarity
- Visualizing your goal
- Using your reticular activating system
- Getting clear on what you want
Key Takeaways:
- Your purpose is a guide. It will provide clarity for you to know which opportunities to say yes to and which to say no to. What would life be like for you if you were in your purpose? Picture that life.
- When you are visualizing your financial goal, make sure to put a number associated with it. Make the image in your mind more concrete and believe in yourself, that you are on a journey in your life to make that happen.
- Your reticular activating system kicks in when you set an intention, and get clear on it. Once you get clear on that, your brain finds the pathway toward that intention.
- Be in the driver’s seat of your life, set the destination, and determine the path. Audit your time and keep growing through practice and training.

Natalie is the best-selling author of “HumanForce: The power of emotions in a changing workplace”. She is an engaging Tedx Speaker and has also delivered keynote speeches for corporates and leadership programs worldwide.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Natalie discuss:
- Why you should listen to your emotions
- The negative effect of suppressing your emotions
- The power of emotions to uplift or drain
- A leader’s responsibility to manage emotions
Key Takeaways:
+ We need to be in touch with our emotions because they exist for a reason. Emotions are there to tell us something, they want to send us a message, and we have to listen in order to help ourselves progress forward.
+ Emotions need to be addressed as feelings turn into emotions, emotions turn into our mood, and our mood impacts the way we show up during the day. When they are suppressed, they create a compounding effect of stress that’s built up inside. Sometimes, this built-up stress manifests as physical ailments and chronic pain.
+ Emotions, whether draining or uplifting, don’t merely stay inside of us - they impact the people around us. Energy-draining emotions can rot us from the inside when unaddressed, and they can also infect other people. In the same way, our positive emotions have the power to lift others up.
+ You have a responsibility as a leader to create a safe space for emotions within the team. However, working with emotions begin with working on yourself - it starts with you.
"We should all be thinking about building emotional connection in the world, particularly in the workplace. Because we need that, not only to be the best that we can be, but also to be happy and fulfilled." — Natalie Boudou

+ Compassionate leadership is all about empathy in action or the willingness to act upon what you understand from another person’s perspective. Compassion is not a weakness, it has helped many leaders develop productive teams and lead them to success for the whole organization.

+ Companies rely on human resources and each single individual performs better when happier. As leaders, we have to focus on creating a happier and more connective culture in our organization. We have to make people feel like they belong and that they are supported.
"We are all human resources. We perform better when we’re happier. What we should be aiming to do as leaders is to find ways to shift our culture so that we can have happier and healthier employees." — Natalie Alcantara

In this episode, Chabidaye and Ernelita discuss:
- What is confidence?
- Three sources of courage
- Secrets for growing your confidence
- How vulnerability inspires others
Key Takeaways:
+ Confidence is not a personality trait, it’s not something that’s purely innate in somebody. Confidence is a skill that can be learned, trained, and improved.
+ If you need courage, here are three things that you can draw courage from: faith in yourself, faith that is given to you by others, or faith in a higher power. Having somebody that believes in you and using their faith as a reason to be courageous is a good starting point for being confident.
+ Whenever you have an intuitive idea, thought, or dream, do it. Also, you have to do your best not to negotiate with yourself as it will cause you to not take action. Celebrate yourself with something simple. Lastly, take action.
+ Some people think that being vulnerable would make you look weak, but actually, by being authentic and showing your vulnerability while also being a good example of a resilient person, you’ll be able to inspire others to do the same. People will look at you and would want to keep moving despite all that they are going through.

About Debi Ronca:
Debi Ronca, International Best Selling Author, Certified Life Transition Coach, Speaker, and Podcast Host of The Transition Bridge Podcast. She empowers women to embrace, grow, and be transformed by the purpose and power of the transitions they experience in life. Through her proprietary process called REAL, she helps women RECOGNIZE the symptoms of transition, EVALUATE their mindsets and limiting beliefs, ALIGN to their next season, and LIVE it out in wholeness and clarity.
Her book, The Family Letter, International Best Seller, is having a global impact on families, equipping them to cultivate a culture of honor, encouragement, and value.
The Transition Bridge Podcast is a platform where you can come each week to be inspired, encouraged, and even challenged as you hear her guest's stories of struggle to triumph through the transitions they have navigated in their lives.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Debi discuss:
- How transitions have the power to bring about personal growth
- Facing the journey of transition
- Discovering and leaning into your core values
- The beautiful story that transition has for you
Key Takeaways:
+ Transitions themselves will tap into our confidence - they’re gonna call our confidence into question because they're all about change, the unknown, uncertainty, and the positive of a transition is personal growth.
+ Change is inevitable, but transitions are all about the journey. Don’t be stuck in the same chapter of your life. Step into your confidence, and face the journey boldly. Don’t give up. If you give up on a book halfway, you’ll never see how the plot thickens or how a character develops.
+ A good trick to finding out what your core values in life are is to become aware of your feelings when you become upset. What was it that made you upset? Was it disrespect, injustice, or a lack of compassion? Knowing the reason behind the reaction will help you discover what’s truly important to you.
+ Transition has a beautiful story to tell in your life. You have so much to learn, so much to experience, there are so many more chapters in your life that are still waiting to be read. So don’t close your book. Don’t stop dreaming. Find the courage to believe. Don’t hold yourself back.
"Understand that there is a purpose and there is a process. If we go through the transition too quickly, we’re going to miss the purpose and the power of it." — Debi Ronca

- Why you shouldn’t ignore the signs of burnout
- The symptoms and signs of burnout
- Honesty is the first step to recovery
- Achieving freedom from burnout
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t ignore the signs of burnout. Chronic stress and anxiety aren’t supposed to be normal. Consider if the health issues that you experience are caused by your current working conditions and if they are pointing towards the fact that you are burning out.
- When you are burnt out you might feel trapped in the past, inadequate in the present, and worried constantly about the future. You might experience sleepless nights and tired mornings. By the time the weekend comes, you might be too exhausted to do anything fun or meaningful.
- Daniel’s body gave him a very frightening warning that he was burning out. We don’t have to know the hard way, we can instead learn from his experience and examine yourself. Be honest about what you truly feel and what you’re really going through.
- Examine your values and see if any of them aligns with your current job and current working conditions. Seek the help of people that you can trust, whether it be a coach, a therapist, or a close friend who can both empathize and inspire you to seek freedom from burnout.
"What I did right in the early stages was I connected back to my values, and who I was, what I needed in my life. And what I needed in my work, And what I needed in my work, and what I needed to support that." — Daniel Ewers

Natalie’s commercial background enables her to connect and understand her clients’ needs quickly. She combines a dynamic and pragmatic approach with a creative, and intuitive style. Clients describe her as warm, energetic, committed, and intuitive.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Natalie discuss:
- Why it’s important to address your emotions
- Start with leading yourself
- Strategies for dealing with emotions
- How to create an emotionally-healthy workplace culture
Key Takeaways:
- Emotions tend to get ignored. However, turning your face away from it won’t make it go away. When emotions are not addressed, they have the power to set the tone and the energy for the rest of the day and for the days beyond that.
- In order for you to lead with emotions effectively, you’ve got to first be a good leader to yourself. Having good self-leadership starts with awareness and a willingness to be honest.
- When you acknowledge an emotion and are able to label it, the intensity of it goes down. Time-box your emotions, address them today so that you won’t take them with you tomorrow. Lastly, remember that “negative” emotions drain your energy but they have a purpose and they can be channeled into creating something positive.
- Growing an emotional culture starts with the leader. They must set the norm by being honest and giving people a space to be themselves and discuss their emotions. Be empathetic, compassionate, and willing to help.
"It's important for you to understand how you are, where you are, [and] the impact that you're going to have because emotions are contagious." — Natalie Boudou

Specializing in helping women navigate Trauma, Grief, and Menopause, Janet uses that experience to help women find true Peace, Love, and Fulfillment to use their gifts to serve others.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Janet discuss:
- The light in the darkness
- Honing in on your purpose
- Tips you can apply in your journaling practice
- Your story matters
Key Takeaways:
- Being able to go through dark times and come out as a different person with all the lessons that the traumatic experience had taught us isn’t only a gift for us, but also for those around us that listen to our story.
- It doesn’t matter how hard you try to cover it up, your yearning to live out your purpose will always be there inside you. Ignore it but it will come back time and time again until you do something about it.
- Don’t keep your ideas in your head. Put it down on paper so that they don’t suffocate your mind-space or become forgotten. When we have too many things in our heads, it’ll be hard for us to get new ideas.
- You have a story to tell, you might just not know it yet. Every experience you’ve had can be a beacon of hope for somebody who might be going through something similar.
"Every day that our eyes open is a gift. We are [going] to learn something that’s going to help us one step close to whatever we’re doing - serving the Lord or serving the universe and just working together as a community." — Janet Schoen

About Amanda Bedell: Amanda Bedell has spent more than fifteen years in the marketing and public relations fields working with multimillion-dollar organizations. In between, she built a bakery from a farmer’s market booth to a retail shop to a manufacturing facility employing fifteen people. Through a series of decisions over six years, she exited the bakery, defeated and exhausted. From that experience of business failure, combined with her marketing experience, BCC Business Consulting was born. She now helps business owners beyond the start-up phase and experiencing tighter than anticipated resources after building for five years or more. Usually, these business owners are antsy about getting a return on their investment and worried about their financial future. Their relationships are strained, and they are exhausted, burned out, and about ready to throw in the towel. She is a graduate of the 10,000 Small Businesses program through Goldman Sachs and Babson College and has an MBA from Western Governors University. As a sorter of business chaos, Amanda offers her simple-to-use process to bring clarity and focus to business owners who want to write themselves bigger paychecks and take vacations without cash flow anxiety and endless calls from staff. If you’d like to see $150,000 or more hit your income statement in 90 to 120 days, you “better call Amanda.”
In this episode, Chabidaye and Amanda discuss:
- Five-part framework for creating a successful business
- Going back to the purpose of your marketing
- Success leaves clues
- Protecting your #1 investment
Key Takeaways:
- It’s important that you apply the 80/20 rule by considering what is that thing that’s going to give you the biggest return on your time, energy, and money. Look for two or three things that you do and just focus on them relentlessly, then, everything will fall into place.
- The marketing technique that might work for others might not work for you. You’ve got to shift the perspective back to the purpose of your marketing and take a look at how you can do something different to produce a better result.
- Find a mentor, someone who does what we want to do, someone who sees the grander picture of where you are going. Mentors and coaches will help us to set big, audacious goals and help us keep track and keep it consistent.
- Protect your investment, protect yourself. When you hire a coach or seek mentorship, you’re investing in your growth and in your continuous success. It is scary to think about financially, but it would be even scarier without support.

In this episode, Chabidaye and Sara discuss:

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Asking for help
- Coaching, clarity, and champions
- Timelines and teams
- Dream bigger dreams
Key Takeaways:
- We’ve got to open our eyes to the people around us. If you share the dreams and the goals that you’re trying to achieve, you’ll find people who can help you get there. All you’ve got to do is ask.
- Getting coached takes less time and makes better use of every time spent doing what you have to do to succeed in what you want by providing guidance and clarity.
- When you have timelines attached to your goals, you can better identify the tasks you need to accomplish. Focus on what you’re good at and delegate the rest of the tasks to others better suited to handling them.
- Dream bigger dreams, don’t limit yourself. Share your dreams with people and let them in on your journey to get there and you will surely get there.
"You don't have to chase your goals alone anymore. You don't have to set small goals because you don't know how to do it. My friend, dream big. Get a coach and get a team to help you because you can achieve anything that you want." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Reflecting on your wins and removing distractions
- Reevaluating your plans and pivoting
- Delegating to others and automating your process
- The time to relax
Key Takeaways:
- Reflect on your wins and consider the practices, habits, and methods that helped you get to that success. Remove the things that hold you back or distract you from doing your best.
- Your plan at the beginning of the year was your best idea at the time, but now that you’re further into the year and have gone through a lot of changes, it’s time to reconsider and reevaluate your plan.
- You don’t have to do everything yourself. Delegate the work that are outside your zone of genius to people who can do it better and faster or figure out how you can automate some parts of your process.
- There really is a time for everything and now is the time to relax. Think about how you could celebrate the progress that you’ve made these last three months and reconnect with your “why” or your purpose in order for you to come into the next quarter re-energized.
"Reconnecting to the “why” helps us re-energize so that we can get up everyday and give it our best." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Rob Fortier: As a copywriter, Rob Fortier’s goal is to help coaches, consultants and service providers use the written word to get their message out into the world so they can effectively market their products and services. He is dedicated to helping his clients increase their leads and sales, and believes that email is one of the most cost-effective marketing tools for solopreneurs and small business owners.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Rob discuss:
- How to enhance your writing with AI tools
- The limitations of ChatGPT and AI tools
- Getting over mental blocks when writing email sequences
- Done is better than perfect
Key Takeaways:
- In order to use ChatGPT in the most effective and most responsible way, you’ve got to use it and let its responses spark ideas in your head then run with those and create your content the way that you do.
- ChatGPT can’t replicate your personality and it doesn’t know your people. Therefore it is unable to tailor-fit your content to your audience in the way that you can. You are the expert when it comes to your people.
- Change the way you look at writing an email sequence. See it not as this burdensome thing but as a conversation chopped up into multiple segments.
- Done is better than perfect. The only way to get better at writing is to keep writing. Don’t let your ideas stay hidden in your head, write them down and spread them out even in their imperfect form. You will improve as you go. Meanwhile, if you never take a step, you’ll never get anywhere.

In this episode, Chabidaye and Sherry discuss:
- How to live a more joyful life
- Redefining celebration
- Investing in relationships
- Knowing people and listening to them
Key Takeaways:
- Be careful not to take any blessing for granted. We've got to bring celebration and gratitude in the front and center of our awareness so that we could live a more joyful life.
- We have to redefine what the word celebrate means and bring it into the tiniest moments of our lives.
- We need to invest our time, energy, love, thoughtfulness, and gratitude into relationships because they will not always be there.
- People want to feel that they are being seen and heard and that they are loved for who they are. It’s hard to express that to a person when you don’t really know them and it’s hard to know them if you don’t listen.

About Melissa Deally: Melissa Deally is an Integrative Mind Body Health Practitioner, also trained in NLP, Time Line Therapy and Hypnotherapy. She’s dedicated to helping her clients discover the root cause of their health issue and truly heal, while detoxing their physical, mental and emotional bodies. Melissa’s business is 100% virtual, and she works with the entire English speaking world. Melissa also uses the power of functional medicine lab tests mailed to your home, while offering a very high level of support, to ensure her clients’ success, as we navigate the path bringing the physical, mental and emotional bodies back into balance, while creating new lifestyle habits to ensure lasting results.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Melissa discuss:
- The cause of chronic illnesses
- Making your body inhospitable to disease
- How stress affects your health
- True healing can only be done by you
Key Takeaways:
- We live in a world that is surrounded by man-made chemical toxins. They enter our body through our water, airways, food, etc. They overburden our livers and end up causing chronic illnesses.
- Most of your health outcomes are a result of the environment that you create inside of your physical body and mental body. When you master your thoughts and emotions and control the toxins going into your body, you can create a body that’s inhospitable to disease.
- Stress affects the health of your gut, it negatively impacts your sleep leading to your brain and your body not being able to heal effectively overnight. We also start to have lower energy leading to less productivity during the day.
True healing is not done by anyone else, it’s done by you with a guide. Having a guide is critical because the body doesn’t heal in a stressed-out state. Relax, trust in the process, and from there, your body can heal.
"Don't wait to get sick, take proactive action. For those that are already in it. I want you to know that your chronic illness doesn't have to be the way it is for the rest of your life. You can recover from it, but we have to address it in all four bodies and remove the toxins." — Melissa Deally

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
Time is your most valuable and scarce resource
Work from your calendar not from a to-do list
The secret to having a clearer mind
Meetings should be a last resort
Key Takeaways:
Time is your most scarce resource. Put your day into perspective. The moment you wake up, you have 1440 minutes left. Utilize each one well. Whenever you waste time, you cheat no one but yourself.
Work from your calendar, not from a to-do list. You'll always have to add more, no matter how much you accomplish from your to-do list. You’ll end up feeling like you’re not accomplishing anything.
Always carry a notebook and a pen. Write things down when thoughts come up. Dump all the noise your brain generates so you can be calm and clear in other situations.
Schedule and attend meetings only as a last resort. Resort to having meetings when all other forms of communication won’t work.
"A total of 1440 minutes… how you spend those minutes is critical. Because time spent is one thing you will never get back." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

- Invest in yourself and in your success. Get a coach, a planner, and a calendar. Plan your new year and schedule your breaks and vacations. Make sure to always take care of yourself.
- Find a community or a group that you can be accountable with, people that will encourage you when you stumble and keep you motivated to work for your dreams and goals.
- Measure everything. Track your business, your growth, and your habits. You have to have a system in place so that you know where you are in relation to your goals.
- Managing your energy is a high performance habit. Know how you could raise your energy level so you could accomplish more at work and how you could also moderate it when you need to slow down. You must also figure out what recharges you so that you will not burn out.
"You just need to do your best. And then let go. Trust that the universe will do the rest and it works. You don't have control over everything. So do your part." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Ashley Cook: She is a copywriter and copy coach who helps people sell their programs or service. She comes alongside and supports impact-driven entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in this world.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ashley discuss:
- Perfecting your business
- Systems and processes that work
- Mindset can make or break your business
- Don’t DIY your inner work
Key Takeaways:
- Perfectionism can paralyze you when launching a business. You have to launch it and accept that it will be imperfect at the beginning then commit to perfecting your business through improvement and adjustment.
- As we learn, grow, and experiment in our businesses, we need to keep track of the processes, methods, and systems that work and slowly establish our own guardrails in order to reinforce growth and sustainability in our business.
- Your mindset, your hang-ups, and your attitude affect everything about your business. That’s why doing your inner work is a priority if you want your business to keep growing.
- The first step towards breaking free of our limiting beliefs is being aware of them, this is a problem as we aren’t always aware of what’s in our blindspots. We need the guidance of a coach in order to bring things into full awareness and follow through with transformation.
"That’s how you succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to take that risk.." — Ashley Cook

- The Squiggly Line
- Setting a goal and following through
- Sparking change through self-awareness
- Making an inventory of people you surround yourself with
Key Takeaways:
- The line between “now” and “december 23” won’t be a straight one. It’ll be a squiggly line, filled with ups and downs; successes and failures.
- Set a goal. Have clarity on what it is you want to achieve and have the courage to take the first step. Build on that courage and practice being confident.
- Every change starts with self-awareness. Look into your mindset, your attitude, your habits, and your energy. Be aware of which ones are serving you and which aren’t and be ready to transform the ones that hinder you from becoming your best self.
- You become who you surround yourself with so make an inventory of who you hang out with. Surround yourself with high-performing people and those who are already at the next level that you want to be in.

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Attitude can either propel or derail your team
- Spotting bad attitude in your team
- How to change your attitude
- Where attitude can take you
Key Takeaways:
- Just as it could propel your team toward success, attitude also has the power to completely derail your team’s progress. Even just one person with a negative attitude in a team can change the dynamic.
- As a leader, it’s important for you to spot the attitude of your team members and identify who’s propagating negativity in the group. It’s important that your team is completely built up of people with a positive attitude who bounce creativity and proactiveness off each other.
- You can change your attitude! Start with self-awareness. Change your vocabulary, change your thinking, and develop good habits. Lastly, adopt a teachable attitude.
- Attitude is the extra plus in leadership and a good attitude will take you to where talent alone cannot.
"The fantastic news in all of this is that throughout our life, our attitude is always under construction." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Solve problems and overcome obstacles
- Lean on others
- Keeping yourself focused on the vision
- The opportunity to evolve through problems
Key Takeaways:
- Every problem has a solution. When problems occur, slow down and discuss them with your family or team, and ask questions. Once you’ve overcome a problem, celebrate with the team.
- Lean on others, you’re not meant to solve a problem on your own. The solution to the problem is already in the room, it’s already in your team members. Someone just has to bring it out of them.
- Remind yourself that the problem is just a temporary setback on the journey. It’s a piece of a puzzle for you to solve. Keep yourself focused on the vision.
- Each time you solve a problem, you will become better. People around you will know that they can count on you to get the job done. Opportunities will open up. Your skillset and confidence will grow.

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Focus on your goals
- Taking action and holding yourself accountable
- Celebrating your wins along the way
- Making use of your 24 hours
Key Takeaways:
- Look at your goals as your list of things that you want to accomplish, and pick one thing that you want to get done by the end of the year.
- Share the one thing with someone so they can hold you accountable. Then identify the actions that you need to take, the small goals within the big goal that you need to accomplish in order to get things done. Once you’ve laid out your plan, it’s only a matter of doing it.
- Celebrate your wins and progress. Even little progress is worth celebrating. Plan for a celebration once you’ve completed your tasks.
- We have 80 days left in the year. We all have the same 24 hours given to us that we can choose to spend either thinking about doing what we want to do or actually doing it and contributing to progress.
"You've been thinking for the past nine months about doing something, you've been watching your goals. Well, it is time to act now. It's time to stop learning and thinking, and to actually start doing. If you don't get started, remember, you'll never get to the end." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Why should you create a system?
- Changing the way you see your inbox
- Helping others who don’t have a system in place
- How not to waste time in meetings
Key Takeaways:
- Spending time on thinking about what you’ll decide to do in a given time is taking away some of your energy. You need to have a system in place so that you don’t waste energy thinking about what to do.
- Your email is not a storage but a processing station. Whenever you get a new message, you need to sort it out immediately - either do what you need to do now, save it in a folder for later, or delete it if it’s junk.
- Recognize that others may not have a system for productivity like you do. Help them out by doing little things like putting the due date in the email subject line and the action point that they need to do so that when they’re scanning their inbox, they can see the urgent tasks.
- In order to not waste your time in a meeting, it’s important that there’s clarity on who’s going to do what. Before the meeting ends, ask the question of what’s the next step so that there’s ownership and accountability for each one in the group.

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Trusting in yourself, trusting others, and trusting God or the universe
- Being consistent and embodying leadership
- Achieving your goals and growing your business
- Practicing self-care and having a clear mind
Key Takeaways:
- Trust yourself and follow your instinctual thoughts. Trust also in others. Apply to be coached, allow others to give value to you, and for things outside of your control, entrust it to a higher power.
- Commit to being consistent. Try journaling, jot down your ideas and follow-up on ideas that are recurring. Embody leadership in your life. Seeing yourself as a leader will change the way you live.
- Have a plan and track your progress. Stop chasing, instead, attract your goals and release the outcome. Hire a team and automate so that you can focus on what you do best.
- Write down your thoughts so that you can have an uncluttered and clear mind during the day. Practice self-care, start with the simple things like breathing, walking, exercising and drinking water.
"The journey isn’t always gonna be fabulous, some days there’s gonna be bumps in the road - the road might even be missing other days but you can still enjoy the journey and you can still find joy in whatever part of life you’re in." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Ebenezer Mamabolo: He is a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Speaker, and Trainer. He is the author of the book, “There Are No Secrets To Success”. Ebenezer is also a life and computer hacker. He also has his podcast show called, “Monetizing Purpose Podcast”.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ebenezer discuss:
- Finding your own purpose
- Aligning yourself with your priorities
- Giving from the saucer
- Don’t forget your loved ones
Key Takeaways:
- You need to be aligned to your own purpose. Don’t confuse your purpose with that of your parents or other people, find your own.
- One of the biggest stealers of time is to be too preoccupied doing good things that are not right for you.
- People whose purpose is connected to helping other people tend to forget about themselves. You must remember to give from the saucer and not the cup, give from the overflow and not the source.
- Prioritize the people that you love, put them first. It’s good for you to pursue your passion and purpose, but don’t be so caught up in that pursuit that you forget the people that will be there truly grieving in your funeral.
"You are the one who knows when you’ve done a good job or not. Most of the time, we tend to adopt other people’s definition of what success should be. You need to be the one to define what success is for you." — Ebenezer Mamabolo

- In order to be an effective communicator, you have to be clear and you have to be concise.

About Jason Wyatt: Jason Wyatt uses over 20 years of experience and the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team training to provide Customized Professional Speaking, Training, and Executive Coaching. He works to help bring out the best in yourself, your team, and your organization to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Jason discuss:
- More leaders, less managers
- Rowing the ship in one direction
- Putting the solution first
- Bringing people to the table
Key Takeaways:
- The world needs more servant leaders and less managers. The best way to get to a solution is to recognize that even as a leader, you don’t have all the answers so you’ll trust the team and take input from them.
- Being a servant leader will allow you to keep your team together working on the same goal. When you support your team and let them have priority and ownership of their task, they’ll be able to better provide solutions.
- Be a leader that desires for the problem to be solved with the best solution. It’s not all about finding who’s right and who’s wrong, it’s about how we can get past the problem and find a solution that’s going to make us better.
- Bring somebody to the leadership table, it doesn’t have to be the leader who’s next in line. Bring anyone from your team, bring different kinds of people.
"A servant leader is one who takes care of the team. They are the one who sees that the team has a goal and helps the team to reach that goal through support, direction, sometimes just vision casting." — Jason Wyatt

About Ernelita Dacumos: Ernelita also known as Ernie is an aspiring Motivational Speaker and Coach who thrive in the healthcare industry. She has dedicated her life in healthcare for a decade and still counting until she found her purpose. Though the Healthcare industry is where her heart is initially, as years go by, she has learned that there is more that she can do for others. She had clarity that she wanted to help people like her, expats to be exact who left their families back home to build a life in a different country. As in her journey, moving to a foreign country was not easy. The inferiority complex was very apparent which causes some to play small and feel stuck in their journey. She had gone through this process and dedicated onto her personal development and now added the Maxwell Leadership program in order for her to reach the people she aims to influence and help internationally. Ernelita believed that everyone has a story that needs to be heard not to mock or compete from but to learn and influence. She is willing to share her journey for expats like her that they too can create their own journey, they too can reach their goal. And they don't have to play small to reach it. Expat or not, we are all the same, we have our own skills and capabilities to make an impact and help others.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ernelita discuss:
- Surrounding yourself with supporters
- Throwing yourself into opportunities
- Recording and celebrating successes
- How to face setbacks and failures
Key Takeaways:
- Surround yourself with people that will push you and support you towards the goal that you’re scared to try and get.
- Summon a little bit of courage and a little bit of faith in yourself, use that to throw yourself into opportunity. Show up, trusting that when you do, you’ll know what to do and you got this.
- Record and celebrate your successes. Reflect on how far you’ve come and keep it on top of your mind. It helps to remember these when somebody asks you what you’re proud of, you’ll have an answer. It will boost your confidence in that conversation.
- Don’t give up when you face setbacks and “failures”. Learn from each one of these experiences and recognize how you can improve, see these setbacks as useful data for future improvement.
"What got me through is… doing the things that scares me the most and doing it scared." — Ernelita Dacumos

In this episode, Chabidaye and Tracey discuss:
- Listening to the younger generations
- Using the right framework to lead
- Leading people from where they are
- Resisting the urge to swoop in
Key Takeaways:
- When dealing with people from a younger or another generation, the best approach is simply to listen and understand them enough to speak their language. Don’t speak the language of your own generation, you will not be able to communicate well.
- Understand the skills, values, and characteristics of a person with a different generation from you. If you come in and lead with the framework of your own generation, you will have difficulties.
- Lead people from where they are, not where you want them to be. Take the time to see where the person is at in their journey and find ways to guide them from the sides and not from above.
- Learn to delegate and trust those that you lead. Don’t swoop in and do it all by yourself, give them an opportunity to try.
"The job of the leader is to be able to listen, learn, guide from the sides - they are better guiding from the sides not from the top down of the pyramid - to be able to lead them where they are and move them up in their leadership and success." — Tracey Wozny

In this episode, Chabidaye and Jerry discuss:
- Focusing on what we have control over
- Overcoming fears and doubts
- Limiting beliefs and blindspots
- Using mindset to navigate your circumstance
Key Takeaways:
- We don’t have any control over whether negative thoughts or feelings will come into our mind but we do have control over which thoughts to focus on, which thoughts to open ourselves up to.
- You’re never gonna escape fear or doubts, they’re always gonna be hanging around you, you can’t chase them away - but you can challenge those fears and doubts and bring yourself to overcome them.
- So much of our current issues and hangups stem from limiting beliefs that have been created in us since childhood. Going through coaching will help us overcome these limiting beliefs and reveal anything that hides in our blindspots.
- You don’t have to change your surroundings or your situation, you simply need to learn how you could use your mind to navigate your current circumstance, whatever it may be.
"We can’t control the thousands of thoughts that knock on the door of our mind every single day but we do have control over which of those thoughts do we open the door of our mind to and let in and focus on." — Jerry Roisentul

About Ana Berdecia: Ana I. Berdecia, M.Ed. & Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach is the CEO of Potential Pathways, LLC. Ana loves working with women to own the mysteries of their 3Ps: Passion, Potential, and Purpose through a proven system that takes what you love and have the potential to do to confirm the calling upon each of our lives. I believe each of us were designed to do something extraordinary for the world that no one else can do.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ana discuss:
- Taking a passion inventory
- Passion and purpose
- The interconnectedness of the three P’s
- Sitting down to pause
Key Takeaways:
- To find your passion, you can take a passion inventory. Take a piece of paper and write all the things you love to do - writing not only what you’re passionate about but where has that passion led you.
- Practice your passion, find ways to express yourself in those areas. Come up with ideas on how you can profit from it. Unleash your potential. Identify your purpose so that you’ll feel more alive and be more at peace with your life.
- Passion chases you, potential offers hope that will expand your talents and your treasures, and purpose honors your calling and makes you truly alive. Your purpose is calling you, are you listening?
- If you can’t hear the whisper of purpose, then it’s time to pause and reflect. Silence your mind, take yourself out of the daily cycle. Sit down, contemplate and write down your thoughts.

Key Takeaways:

In this episode, Chabidaye and Kurt discuss:
- What is effective communication
- Communication barriers due to culture
- Minimizing distractions, emotions and biases
- How to be a good communicator using VEGA
Key Takeaways:
- Communication is the transmittal of a message and the receipt of that message. We have to avoid communication failure as best as we can, especially when a lot relies on its success.
- A difference in culture can create communication barriers. One English word, for example, could have a vast difference depending on whether you’re in the US or the UK even though they’re basically the same language. It’s important to recognize this and understand that neither are wrong, just different.
- Minimize distractions or completely eliminate them since they are a huge hindrance to effective communication. Put your phone on silent mode when in a meeting. Also, don’t let your emotions and biases change your message.
- Remember the acronym VEGA if you want to be an effective communicator. First is voice, you have to project, be audible and speak with an appropriate tone. Maintain good eye contact, if there are multiple people - do a general sweep of the room, don’t focus on just one person. Use gestures for emphasis but only minimally, don’t overdo it. Lastly, you need to have a good attitude.
"There’s three things we have to do, the three C’s: be Clear, be Concise, and we have to Confirm understanding." — Kurt Porter

About Toni Belin Ingram: "I can help you if you let me" has been her mantra for years. She has since a young girl always helped friends and family problem solve, think through solutions, and mediate conflict. She is an ordained itinerant elder in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. Her vision is to ensure that more people reach their full potential and fulfill their divine purposes. Being a Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Member has equipped her with the tools, strategies, and resources necessary to help people at a more profound level. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Master of Divinity Degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She has also completed her Doctor of Ministry at Payne Theological Seminary in Adaptive Leadership. She, along with her husband Raymond, reside in Atlanta, Georgia. Together, they are the proud parents of three adult children, Omar, Iman and Asha and excited grandparents of Zion. She leads a 6:45am EST #DailyPrayer call. She is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Toni is member of the 2014 class of Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Board of Preachers.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Toni discuss:
- A gift and an opportunity
- Children are all unique
- Creating an open dialogue
- Allowing your children to flourish
Key Takeaways:
- Each child is both a gift and an opportunity. They are a gift from God and they are an opportunity for us to be our very best selves.
- A child is a person and like any person, they are utterly unique. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all kind of solution or method to parenting. It’s important to take time to understand your kid, to be present in their lives, practice unconditional love and forgiveness.
- One of the best things you can do for your family is to ensure that each member in your family has the ability to talk out what they think and how they feel or how someone has hurt them. This will allow each one to forgive, love, and move on.
- How we treat our children either add to their ability to thrive or flourish or they add to their inability to see themselves better. How do you wake them up? What do you say to them? What do you allow them to say to themselves? Be your children’s first encourager.
"The important thing for family is to recognize that there is no perfect model about who family is or what family looks like but the best thing that we can do is to love them, encourage them, be fully present with them. ." — Toni Belin Ingram

About Ann Visser: As co-founder of 4 Better 4 Ever Ann is a certified John Maxwell coach, speaker and trainer. For over 20 years, she has been equipping individuals and organizations to communicate clearly to build close connections because effective communication is essential for every healthy relationship.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ann discuss:
- Disrupting what doesn’t work
- Beyond saying words
- Reflecting on the good things
- The edge of fear and shame
Key Takeaways:
- We need to disrupt what is not working in order to try something different whether it’s at home or at work.
- Communication is beyond merely saying words. It’s about connecting and the first way to do that is to listen deeply to who you’re communicating with, not just listen to respond.
- Reflect on the good things about a person. Your own attitude can see the way we see others which also changes the way we communicate with them. When we change our own heart, we can start from a better place.
- If you, as a woman, are feeling afraid and lonely - there’s a high chance that your man is feeling an equal amount of shame. Men are often on the edge of shame while women are on the edge of fear.
"We need to communicate clearly in order to connect deeply - communication is vital for every relationship." — Ann Visser

About Dr. Jacqueline Howard: Dr. Jacqueline Howard is an entrepreneur, ordained elder and independent John Maxwell speaker, trainer and coach. She is an author of Angels, Leading God's Way and co-author of an Amazon best seller called The Successful Mind. She actively serves her community through her work as Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Chair, Board of Health Advisory Representative and as on -call chaplain for the local hospital.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Dr. Jacqueline discuss:
- Speaking to connect
- Inspiring people with servant leadership
- What makes a good leader
- Knowing yourself to grow yourself
Key Takeaways:
- A good leader doesn’t just speak to be heard, but speaks to connect with people. They focus on whether the person right next to them understands what they’re saying.
- One of the best ways to inspire people to be more motivated is by showing them that you care. Display servant leadership, show people that you’re there to help them reach their goals and help them be successful.
- Remember the acronym, RISE. A leader must show respect, integrity, service, and excellence in their leadership.
- Write down 50 things that you’re good at while also writing on the side the things that you want to be good at. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone in order to be better.
"You’re already more than enough, you’re created that way. Stop comparing yourself with other people, you don’t know their journey, you don’t know how much time they’ve invested developing that one thing that you look for. When you have a desire or goal, you first have to know are you willing to do what it takes to reach that goal. Do you want to invest that much time?" — Dr. Jacqueline Howard

- Getting a higher email open rate through video
- Making videos that are meant to stay
- The five rules of making good videos
- Distancing from the wall
Key Takeaways:
- Inserting a video in the body of the text really opens up a lot of doors than just sending out a cold email. It builds a lot of rapport with the person that you’re sending it to especially if it’s personalized.
- Build something that’s meant to stay. Something that will represent you for a long amount of time.
- Always record videos sideways, unless it’s for tiktok. Remember the rule of thirds. Have better audio. Make sure you have enough headroom and proper leading room. Finally, position your lighting properly.
- Get away from the wall. Put some distance between the background and you, put objects in different layers behind you. It will make the picture or video more alive.
"If you simply put the word “video” in the subject line of an email when you send it out, the chances of it getting opened increase by over 200%." — Corey Piper

- Our neurochemical response to stories
- Three stories that everyone can tell
- Making your audience feel something
Key Takeaways:
- Stories have a universal appeal, it’s an effective tool of communication for everyone of all ages.
- Listening to a story releases a neurochemical, Oxytocin, in our body. That’s the chemical that helps build bonds, elicits empathy and cooperation. It also motivates positive reciprocal behavior.
- There are three types of stories that everyone can tell: stories of continuity, novelty, or transition. These are all good places to start to create a narrative.
- Whenever you tell a story, your audience feels something. They may forget the story that you said, or what it’s even about, but they’re never going to forget how you made them feel.
"When we hear good stories with characters, narrative, and struggles… the city of our brain lights up, all areas are ignited. " — Natalie Alcantara

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:
- Priority is key
- Proactive rather than reactive
- Prioritizing important versus urgent
- How many priority items for each day
Key Takeaways:
- Prioritization is key in leadership. As a leader, you not only need to prioritize your time but your team’s. They need to know what’s the focus and what they need to work on.
- Plan proactively instead of reactively. Proactive means choosing what to prioritize. As leaders, we have the power to choose what to do and where to put your attention.
- Important items need to take precedence over urgent. Take time to look at each task, compare them, and then assess both their importance and their urgency.
- Try to prioritize three things each day and schedule it on your calendar. Priority is something you get done today, and it must not be moved to the next day.
"Having too many priorities makes us feel overwhelmed… Know what to say no to, so that we can make space in our lives for the things to say yes to. " — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Do you have imposter syndrome?
- The five subgroups of people affected by imposter syndrome
- The eight ways to counter that negative voice
- Reaching out and asking for support
Key Takeaways:
- Imposter syndrome is when you feel that you’re inadequate and incompetent despite evidence that proves otherwise. Maybe you haven’t thought of yourself as a fraud or imposter but perhaps you brushed off your success as luck or being in the right place at the right time.
- There are five subgroups of people that are affected by imposter syndrome: the perfectionist, the superwoman/superman, the natural genius, the soloist and the expert.
- Celebrate your achievements. Be kind to yourself. Be mindful of the ways you treat yourself. Learn to take mistakes in stride. Take action. Don’t count on external validation. Review what you’ve recently accomplished.Talk about what you’re feeling.
- When we start hearing these negative things, there is no shame in reaching out and asking for support. The last thing we wanna do is to listen to that voice and go down a cycle of depression. It’s okay to put your hands up and say we need help.
"Start getting celebration as a habit that you incorporate daily, weekly, monthly, and in the year so that you can build confidence and work on your momentum to move yourself through." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Snoozing your alarm
- Three things to NOT do
- Tips on what you can add to your day
- Letting yourself feel good
Key Takeaways:
- Snoozing your alarm and waking up anxious or overwhelmed with what you must do on the day is not a good recipe for a successful day.
- First, don’t log into work right after rolling back out of bed. Second, don’t start your day with your phone. And lastly, don’t rush to start your morning chores. The first thing you do in the morning matters for the rest of the day, and it will affect you in the long term.
- Make the time, wake up an hour earlier. Read motivational books that will fill your mind with good, do journaling and exercise. Take 50 minutes to focus on tasks and take 10 minutes to rest
- Take a moment to just feel good that you were able to make progress. Also, make sure to schedule time daily to recharge and relax.
"In corporate we only celebrated when the project ended and it’s sad because some of those projects went on for more than two years. Pausing to celebrate each day at the progress that we’ve made in our projects builds momentum and you get the confidence to keep moving forward." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:
- Taking inventory of your wins
- Reflecting and remembering
- Casting a vision, living your dream
- Setting a destination
Key Takeaways:
- Start the year by focusing on the wins - both big and small - that you’ve had last year. Ponder each month and search for each win, each goal that you’ve achieved, each lesson you’ve learned or skill you’ve adapted or improved.
- End the year with deep contemplation and reflection of all things that have happened. Reflect on how much joy you feel about what you’re doing right now, does it fill you with fulfillment? Remember the major events that impacted you throughout.
- Think about all the things you want to accomplish, using your wins and reflections of what you want to improve on as a basis. Cast a vision and live your dream. Don’t spend the next year drifting aimlessly or living someone else’s dreams.
- When you plan, make it a “draft” plan. Recognize that the plan may change as you grow and transform throughout the year. Plan each quarter of the year and add details as you get there. There isn’t ever only one road towards your goal, what’s important is that you know where you want to be.
"You may think that you didn’t achieve the big goal so you shouldn’t celebrate but every progress that you make towards that big goal is a cause for celebration." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

About Debbie Peterson: Debbie Peterson is the creator of “Clarity Success Circle Mastermind” and the “The Way Forward in Leadership & Life Breakthrough Weekend,” for women leaders and emerging leaders who want to create next-level success without the sacrifice that usually comes with it.
She is the host of the Getting to Clarity Podcast for busy women leaders who want to create MORE Success with Less Sacrifice in their life, and also the creator of The Clarity Community, launching soon!
She is a professional member of the National Speakers Association, Women’s Speakers Association and an author
with her book, Clarity: How Smart Professionals Create Career Success on Their Terms.
Debbie has long been an advocate for professional women leaders and aspiring leaders. In 2015 she stepped onto the board of ATHENA International, a global organization committed to supporting, developing, and honoring women leaders.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Debbie discuss:
- Getting hit with the need for clarity
- The journey of clarity
- Asking the right questions
- Freedom from limiting beliefs
Key Takeaways:
- The need for clarity is often magnified when you hit a wall. Don’t chase an abstract cloud, focus on getting clarity in your identity, purpose and desire.
- Getting clarity isn’t a one and done deal, it’s not a destination. Getting to clarity is a journey that one takes on purpose. Setting yourself on the path towards clarity starts with curiosity - how can you be curious with where you want to be and what is one thing that would bring you joy?
- Setting yourself towards clarity involves asking yourself the right questions - but even knowing what questions to ask can be just as hard as answering them. Coaching can help speed up and smoothen this process.
- Limiting beliefs are the lies that you tell yourself. At one point, they might have helped you, but they’re hindering your growth now and it’s important to release yourself from that.
"Clarity allows you to say yes to the right opportunities… When you have clarity and you have that sense of knowing, it allows you to step out of your comfort zone. You have that trust in yourself and in what you’re doing that allows you to move forward." — Debbie Peterson

A highly sought-after executive mentor, consultant and speaker worldwide, Deb is well versed in business operations and in the importance of asking key questions most business leaders won’t ask themselves. She brings deep experience in leadership development, strategy, high performance team building, global operations, brand management, design, product development and training to her work. Her passion is for leading people to discover and maximize their strengths as well as those of fellow team members, while offering advanced strategies to achieve high performance.

Maxwell. She is an Executive Director with the John Maxwell Team and serves on the President’s Advisory Council.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Deb discuss:
- Motivating a D-wired and I-wired people
- What motivates S-wired and C-wired people
- How realizing your strength and weakness should affect you
- Benefits from a better understanding of self
Key Takeaways:
- To motivate a D-wired person, give them a challenge or get them involved in healthy competition with others or with themselves. An I-wired person is motivated by popularity, recognition, and fun experiences.
- S-wired people are motivated by security, stability, and a friendly, non-confrontational environment - get them unstuck by creating a routine and keeping the goal right in front of you. C-wired people live for data and facts. They are motivated when they see excellence happen - create a plan to get unstuck, seek progress not perfection.
- Working on your weaknesses will only bring you up to average. Focus on your strengths and position yourself to fill a role that others cannot and let others step in where you’re not wired for.
- When we’re able to understand ourselves better, communicate better, and understand ourselves better - it just makes us a better person to be around.
"Some of the areas where I didn’t have strength, where I felt inferior - I realized that it’s not that I’m a bad person or that I’m not smart - it’s just that how I’m wired is different from other people. Once we realize that we can push out the negative and we can say ‘how do I maximize who I really am?’." — Deb Ingino

In this episode, Chabidaye and Deb discuss:
- The Maxwell DISC system and finding your strengths
- DISC is more than what you’re good at, it’s how you approach the world
- DISC has been around for years and has a lot of scientific backing
Key Takeaways:
- Finding your DISC strengths can give you new insight into yourself and your motivations
- Knowing your employees and co-worker’s DISC assessment can help you communicate better with them
- We all have each of the DISC traits, but what is strongest in us is what’s important to know
"If you've ever been with a loved one, a family member, and you've tried to get them to do something that they really just don't want to do. We keep thinking, ‘you know what's wrong with them. This is so simple, they should just do this.’ But for many of them, the reason they don't is because their motivation is not being tapped into at all. — Deb Ingino

About Faith James: She is affectionately known as the Queen of Branding or the Branding Ninja depending on what side of the street you live. Faith James is an award-winning marketing and branding executive with over 25+ years experience creating campaigns for Fortune 500 brands like IBM, Microsoft, Pepsi, Mary Kay and Liberty Mutual to name a few.

In this episode, Chabidaye and Faith discuss:
- You already have a brand
- Finding out how you’re perceived
- Staying the course
- Saying yes to yourself
Key Takeaways:
- It’s not so much as building the brand, it’s excavating it. You already have it. Because your brand is this: your promise of value.
- Set-up a 360 brand survey. Answer 10 or 15 questions yourself, then ask the same questions to others.
- Even if you don't know the full destination but you know that the path you're on is where you want to be, you stay the course. If you get lost, recalculate your path.
- There is a 100% chance that nothing will happen if you do nothing. But if you do something, what you dream of may very well come true. Trust that you have what it takes to get there.

She comes with over 3 decades of real-world experience working in corporate, for multiple startups, and launching her own content business. She’s worked with companies such as Playtex, Avid Technology, Customer Engagement Magazine, and Fortune 500 Tech Companies.

- What is Irresistible Content system and why we need it
- The Mindset shift - showing your expertise
- Attract, delight, and convert right-fit clients
- Creating V.I.P. experiences
Key Takeaways:
- Instead of going after what you need as a company, think first about what the person you’re selling to is all about.
- Irresistible content is a mindset of not convincing people to buy, since that causes buyer’s remorse, but it’s about showing them ways that they can change and people want to hear your experience, unique process and strategy all the while building trust that you are the one to guide them.
- Display your expertise to the right-fit clients instead of convincing them that they need something.
- Decide on what your vision is for your business and get people to think differently. It’s not a game of who creates the most content.
- VIP experiences are content that tap into client’s senses and emotions - Visualize, Interact, Personalize.
"There is no "I" in content. But there is in inspire, influence, impact, and income.This means to center your content on your clients and customers and not just on your company.

- Practice staying in the present and doing breathing exercises. Take the time to breathe, it will fill you with life.

About Tiffany Hoeckelman: She gets out of bed each morning for one purpose – to help Soloprenuers create an amazing client experience by knowing their own powerful brand identity.
Starting out in 2010 as a virtual assistant and freelance graphic designer, Tiffany witnessed several businesses undermining their success with poor graphic design. She soon recognized that small business owners needed help delving deeper than just their visual identity; they needed to identify and cultivate their purpose. Driven by this mission, Tiffany has built a virtual team, offering brand consulting and implementation. Her secret love for systems and spreadsheets ensures her clients can deliver on their brand promises.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Tiffany Hoeckelman discuss:
- Why hiring is the right way to run a business
- When to start hiring and hiring the right people
- Setting up systems and training programs
- Growing your business with your team
Key Takeaways:
- If you want to run a business, you’ll have to hire people at some point. You can’t just do all the work on your own because that’s not a business, that’s a job.
- You hire a new person when the current role is about one and a half capacity. When you’re stretched, it’s time to hire.
- Don’t jump into hiring too fast, you need to be prepared. Think about your vision for these roles, which tasks you’d want to delegate and what your company culture, personality and values are.
- The only way to scale and grow your business is by hiring a team
"Start looking for people more so with your value and your personality than just the person that can do the work. You can teach people the work, you need to hire the right alignment with your culture." — Tiffany Hoeckelman

About Vicki Beltz: Vicki is living proof of her financial strategies. A former actuary and early-retired executive of a multi-national insurance carrier, she's always been fascinated with personal finance. That's why she knew her "second act" career would be related to teaching on the subject.
Discovering the power and value of using an innovative approach to a traditional financial tool led Vicki on a mission to educate others. And because she does not also sell any financial product, unlike others, she is 100% committed to education for her clients.
Women in the U.S. and Canada, who were already saving, have worked with her to discover and understand how to use this "insider" information. No longer bound by traditional thinking about money, they're benefiting from their new knowledge and implementation of this approach.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Vicki discuss:
- Some investment tools that are not worth it
- The secret and most effective investment tool
- The S.A.F.E Framework ((Structure, Asset, Funding, Enjoying))
- Learning, unlearning and relearning
Key Takeaways:
- Overcoming fear is the first step of improving your own life
- When looking for what to invest on, research and being guided by a trustworthy advisor is important for success
- Life insurance can be expensive but it is the most worthy investment out of all the others
- If you’ve held onto any uncertainty about your money – where to put it, what you might invest in, how to protect it, consider what Alvin Toffler observed about learning, unlearning and relearning. If you feel like you’re lacking confidence in your financial options, consider unlearning what you think you know and choose to take action by re-learning what is actually possible.
"All of those benefits that we’d want in a financial tool can be found in a life insurance policy. Things like guaranteed growth, protection from losses, keeping our money accessible for any reason, with no penalties and… tax-free." — Vicki Beltz

About Renee Schulte: She has over twenty years of leadership experience in the mental health field as a therapist, policy-maker, and consultant. She is nationally recognized in her expertise in behavioral health policy, system design, policy and financial analysis, and strategic consulting. Renee’s newest project, “Making Healthier Policies” is a course designed to teach others how to create healthy policies while navigating the divisive political season.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Renee discuss:
- The consequences of forgetting self-care
- Benefits of doing self-care, inserting self-care in your routine/schedule
- How neglecting self-care can affect your relationships
- Connection of sleep and immunity, decision making, and productivity
- ABC’s (Activities, Boundaries and Connections) of Self care sets the stage for building confidence
Key Takeaways:
- There is more to life than work and if you’re not convinced, imagine yourself in a hospital bed not being able to move your business forward or take care of people.
- Slowing down will help us go faster. When we’re giving ourselves time to rest, we can be more effective. According to research, not giving yourself time to sleep will make you vulnerable to sickness - think about all the time you lose or opportunities wasted because you’re down and out.
- The tendency of exhausted, sleepless people is that they become more emotionally unstable, more unavailable to their family and friends, and snap quickly at others or become easily irritated.
- You’re less likely to get sick and more likely to recover quickly if you give yourself time to sleep. Deep sleep can help you come up with fresh ideas, and can also give you clarity of mind that is required for tough decisions.
"Dream-sleep can help with processing emotions and problem solving… sometimes, just going to sleep actually lets your brain think about that, you’ll wake up the next day with a fresh idea." — Renee Schulte
