For this episode I’m joined by educator, founder, author, and professional coach Dr. Benjamin Ritter, who is here to discuss his experiences, thoughts, and processes around Becoming Fearless.

Ben is the founder of Live for Yourself Consulting whose sole purpose is guiding leaders to create a career they love and create organizations people can fall in love with.

He is a certified international leadership and career coach, Senior Talent Management Consultant, and host of two podcasts, The Executive and Live Fearlessly.

Having coached over 500 leaders worldwide for some household name brands such as Amazon, DoorDash and Pinterest, Ben’s mission is to guide leaders to become the leader of their own career, live fearlessly, and create a career and life they love.

He is also the author of the award-winning and Amazon best-selling book, Becoming Fearless, which will be a key part of our discussion today.

Key takeaways:

• Fear is information, rather than a barrier.
• It is important to set clear intentions and commitments.

For this episode I’m joined by leadership coach and current (at the time of recording) President of the International Coaching Federation Calgary Chapter, Robyn Holloway, who discusses her journey in coaching.

Robyn’s career encompasses over 25 years of experience in human resources, consulting, media, law offices and healthcare.

Her love of learning and challenging herself led to her diverse career. After becoming a mum and juggling responsibilities, Robyn started to look for ways to bring more balance into her own life.

Robyn worked with a coach and felt like coaching was a natural fit allowing her to fulfill her purpose of helping others.

Robyn’s coaching focus is on helping leaders navigate change and transition while defining what leadership means to them.

Robyn and I go way back, so it was great to reconnect with her!

Key takeaways:

• Coaching helps leaders navigate change and maintain their identity.
• Personalized coaching is essential for effective leadership development.
• Leadership roles can provide valuable insights for coaching.
• Healthy habits contribute to personal and professional success.

Have you ever worked on or with a team? How seamless of an experience was it for you? In my experience, some teams are great, some are good, and some are kinda rubbish.

Supporting teams to greater successes was the focus of my conversation with Faris Aranki who is the founder and CEO of Shiageto, Consulting, who specialize in this area!

Having spent over 20 years delivering strategic change for the corporate and non-corporate worlds, Faris experienced first-hand the fine differences between strategic success and failure.

His work has spanned numerous companies, in numerous countries, across a range of sectors, supporting them all to unlock strategic success.

Faris came to realise that often what hinders institutions from achieving their goals goes beyond the quality of their strategy; it is their ability to engage effectively with others at all levels and remove barriers in their way that can be the real barometers of success.

This knowledge has formed the foundation of Shee a ghetto’s workshops, courses and methodologies. Faris believes that any firm or team can adopt these improvements; all it requires is a little of the right support!

Key takeaways:

• Teamwork is crucial for organizational success.
• Engagement is key to successful strategy execution.
• The IQ, EQ, FQ model helps in achieving strategic goals.
• Resistance to change is common in organizations.
• Clear communication is essential for teamwork.
