“Motivation is very temporal.” - Treveal Lynch   Today's featured author is minister and personal trainer, Treveal CW Lynch. Treveal and I have a deep conversation about his newest book, the power of words and more!!!   Key Takeaways:   See yourself as a great contribution to society. Get actual rest. Comparisons are what you believe what you don’t have. True happiness lies within you and not things. Happiness is what people understand but self-satisfaction is what we truly desire. One thing you say may mean everything to one person because our words have power. Your encouragement may help someone change their life for the better. “Our very lives are a contribution.” “Live your best existence for you.”   Treveal's Site: https://www.iamthepossible.com/ Treveal's Books: https://www.amazon.com/WHAT-Enough-Lighten-Makes-Happy-ebook/dp/B07RKYLJH6/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1558503273&refinements=p_27%3ATreveal+Lynch&s=digital-text&sr=1-1&text=Treveal+Lynch   The opening song for this episode is titled, "Faith" by Marcus D.

Michael and I have a great chat about success, giving yourself permission to feel bad for a moment and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways:   Adapt and overcome.

Jenn and I have a wonderful chat about those who inspired her to be a confident lady, how running has helped her live with passion and tons more!   Key Takeaways:   Pausing to look backward is a good thing.   We always have to be careful of the words we speak.   A lot of entrepreneurs build their businesses from a place of struggle.   Running is good for your emotional and physical well-being.   Start your blog or project today so others will be inspired tomorrow   “Embrace yourself and run with it.”   Jenn's Site: https://www.momof18.com/ Jenn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hello-My-Name-Warrior-Princess/dp/0996136533/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1490114894&sr=1-1&keywords=hello+my+name+is.....+jenn+taylor   The opening track is titled, "A Beautiful Heroine" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

Alzheimer’s is a lifestyle type of disease that’s preventable.   Today's returning guest on the Going North Podcast is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, award-winning author, workshop leader and multi-time Gold Medalist California State Senior Olympics, Rico Caveglia. Rico and I talk about his newest ebook that talks about promoting a healthy brain.   Key Takeaways: Have a wellness plan that includes good brain health.   Sitting too much causes a loss of mobility over time.   Our brain is just another organ in our body so what’s good for your body is also good for your brain.   A lack of sleep contributes to an unhealthy brain.   Keep your brain stimulated.   A healthy nutritional diet contributes to a healthy brain.   Everyone knows that they have to stay hydrated but are they actually drinking water.   “Sitting is the new smoking.”   Keep moving throughout your day.   “If you live with the news, you live with the blues.”     Rico's Book's: https://www.amazon.com/Rico-Caveglia/e/B00IVHDL9G/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1    Rico's Site: http://www.agelesslivinglifestyle.com/    Related Episodes:    94 - "Be Bold, Never Old!" with Rico Caveglia: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/94-be-bold-never-old-with-rico-caveglia   6 - "Eat to Thrive" with Katie Sampayo @katie_sampayo: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-6-eat-to-thrive-with-katie-sampayo-katie_sampayo   58 - "Top Keys for Weight Loss" with Christy Callahan Cromwell (@ChristyCromwel1): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/58-top-keys-for-weight-loss-with-christy-callahan-cromwell   75 - "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't Have To" with Julie Potiker (@JuliePotiker): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/75-life-falls-apart-but-you-dont-have-to-with-julie-potiker-juliepotiker   97.5 (Thanksgiving Bonus Episode) - "MindShift On Demand" with Donna Blevins (@BigGirlPoker): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/975-thanksgiving-bonus-episode-mindshift-on-demand-with-donna-blevins-biggirlpoker   108 - "The Holy Sh!t Moment" with James Fell (@BodyForWife): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/108-the-holy-sht-moment-with-james-fell-bodyforwife   The opening track is titled, "Uncommon Sense" by Rukunetsu aka Project R.

Interrupted focus leads to a lower quality of work.   Today's featured bestselling author is Hall of Fame speaker, one of the top 3 communicators in the world and professional development legend, Dianna Booher. Dianna and I talk about her newest book "Faster, fewer, Better Emails", advice she would give to her younger self and more!   Key Takeaways:   Using “Reply All” inappropriately adds more unnecessary emails to everyone else’s inboxes. Constantly responding to emails interrupts your thinking. Check your email at least 2-3 times a day instead of every hour. Build your personal brand by writing and publishing a book with a traditional publisher. People spend an average of 2-3 hours daily on email. “Don’t let email sap your productivity.”   Dianna's New Book: https://booherresearch.com/books/faster-fewer-better-emails/ Dianna's Site: https://booherresearch.com/   Related Episodes: 7 - "Teacher to Pro Speaker" with Robert Kennedy III (@robertkennedy3): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-7-teacher-to-pro-speaker-with-robert-kennedy-iii-robertkennedy3    8 - "Gain the Advantage" with Nancy Gaines (@NancyLGaines): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-8-nancy-gaines-nancylgaines   22 - "Empower Thyself" with Anne Alston (@Alstntec): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/22-empower-thyself-with-anne-alston-alstntec   136 - "Leadership Development" with Kevin Wayne Johnson (@Writing4theLord): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/136-leadership-development-with-kevin-wayne-johnson-writing4thelord

“Do you want to control your life or do you want your fears to control your life?” – Allan Misch   Today's featured authors are communication experts and seminar leaders, Allan Kaufman, DTM & Allan Misch, DTM. Allan & Allan dive into ways to develop yourself into a better public speaker, what happens to those who don't confront their public speaking fear and tons more!!    Key Takeaways: “No one is born a public speaker. It’s a learned skill.” – Allan Kaufman Public speaking helps you to stand out, get promoted and gain more customers. Attending regular Toastmasters meetings is one way to practice and develop your presentation skills. Hiring a coach will amplify and advance your skills at a rapid rate. Don’t let fear, especially the fear of public speaking hold you back from advancing your career or business. There are 2 parts to overcoming public speaking fear. Developing your skills and finding the root cause of your fear that may be holding you back. A speaker should always know their audience. A speaker must have the main takeaway for their audience to receive from their message. Always be willing to confront your fears. “Communication is probably the most important thing that you do in your life.” – Allan Misch Always seek feedback. Doing something the same way without feedback doesn’t help your growth.    Allan & Allan's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Allan-Kaufman/e/B00E2YA46K?ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vu00_tkin_p1_i1  Allan & Allan's Website: nosweatspeaking.com    Email Allan Kaufman at [email protected] if you want to invest in 5-hours of individualized and customized presentation coaching for the special price of $797.

“What might look bad today is going to be a gift tomorrow.” - Phyllis Ginsberg, M.A., MFT   Today's featured author is therapist and Survival to Thrival Expert, Phyllis Ginsberg, M.A., MFT. Phyllis and I talk about the benefits of positive psychology, how to get a good night's rest and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Do your thinking on paper when you are thinking about what you need to do and where you need to be the following day.   During your reflection time before going to the bed, set the intention of your night by writing down 3 good things that happened to you that day.   4 days of lacking sleep leads to bad decision making, food cravings, and lack of resilience.   85 % of all illnesses have an emotional component.   Over 70 million people suffer from anxiety disorders. Which are thought disorders that can be shifted through positive psychology.   “You only know what you know.”   “The human brain was designed for survival.”   Don’t just survive in life but also enjoy it.   Phyllis' Site: https://www.phyllisginsberg.com/  Phyllis' Books: https://www.phyllisginsberg.com/books/    Related Episodes:   35 - "Women Who Ignite" with Donna N.

“Have the audacity to follow your preferences.” -Keren Eldad   Today's featured author is fellow podcast host, speaker, and business coach, Keren Eldad. Keren and I talk about her background, upcoming book, and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: You attract what you are. Coaching is helping others see differently through different goggles.

Ask yourself big questions. Getting out of your comfort zone is a requirement for you to thrive and not just survive. The real superstars are high achievers that are resourceful and hardworking.   Keren's Site: https://www.kereneldad.com/   Related Episodes: 55 - "Life Branding" with Jon Michail (@jon_michail): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/55-life-branding-with-jon-michail-jon_michail 86 - "Stepping Into the Spotlight" with Tsufit (@Tsufit): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/86-stepping-into-the-spotlight-with-tsufit-tsufit  112 – “The Art of Making Things Happen” with Steve Sims (@SteveDSims1): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/112-the-art-of-making-things-happen-with-steve-sims-stevedsims1 118 - "Living Full Out" with Nancy Solari (@NancySolari): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/118-living-full-out-with-nancy-solari-nancysolari 120.5 (Local Author Bonus Special) [LABS] - "The Children of Time" with Victory Parsons (@ReadLiftRepeat): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/1205-local-author-bonus-special-labs-the-children-of-time-with-victory-parsons-readliftrepeat   The opening track for this episode is titled "Hirameki" by Project R AKA Rukunetsu (@Rukunetsu). Be sure to support this artist by clicking on this link: https://soundcloud.com/rukunetsu/hirameki

"Bad leaders teach us what not to do." - Kevin Wayne Johnson   Today's featured bestselling author is a fellow certified John Maxwell Team Coach, Speaker and Trainer, Kevin Wayne Johnson. Kevin and I talk about 3 characteristics that every leader should have, what every millennial leader should consider as their first steps in a new role and tons more!   Key Takeaways:   The 3 qualities that every leader should have would include integrity, character, and good communication.   Active listening shows that you care and that makes you an effective communicator.   Leaders always are learning and they place themselves in an environment that promotes continuous learning. One method of connecting will not always work because everyone receives messages differently and learns differently.   Being a leader doesn’t mean that you have the answer. It means that you must engage your team at a higher level than ever.   When leading multiple generations, never assume what each one needs. Meet them at their point of need and ask for feedback.   Engage those around you instead of making assumptions.   Diversity & Inclusion is the hot topic among non-profit organizations and churches.   Try to read a minimum of 1 book a month.
