Do you suffer from people pleasing?Meet Stefanie Gerke!Stefanie Gerke, Ph.D., a German native, is a former Art History Professor and used to run an agency for art and architecture tours. She turned into coaching after she herself enlisted the help of a coach. She had suffered from burnout after saying "Yes" to everything and everyone, all in the quest to appear "nice". When she reached boiling point and was cured of this addiction, she decided to help others who suffer from it.Maybe you can relate. Maybe you're also one of those people who are so aware of the needs of others that you find it hard to say no to them? Maybe you're stressed out and short on time for yourself because you're always busy doing things for others? Do you have difficulty saying what you really want to say out of fear of damaging your relationships? If this sounds familiar, you're probably a people pleaser. You wanna be a nice person and help others. That's admirable. But it's so stressful, right? And it builds resentment inside of you, because you don't get to chase your own goals. And maybe you don't even quite know what those are. Stefanie used to be the same way. A really nice people pleaser, excellent at catering to everybody else's needs, so bad at catering to her own. Until she hit rock bottom in 2017 and realized she could not go on like that anymore. She was burnt out, unhappy and frustrated. She then enlisted the help of a coach.

She also helps news directors to work smarter by working with their broadcasters. After more than 40 years on-air, in production, and as a college professor, she created VOSOT to work with young broadcasters and help them bring their careers to the next level. She typically works one-on-one with clients over the course of 3 hours to strengthen their on-air voice and presence to make them more effective reporters and anchors.

She now pulls from everything she learned about adlib skills, writing and interviewing, and on-air delivery, along with voice acting, singing lessons, and more.

Years later, Jude realized that these shows taught him about the craft of storytelling. He learned how to search for clues, how to be relentless in solving the puzzle, how to look beneath the surface. They also taught him how powerful the right kind of evidence can be. Nowadays he uses these lessons to help you grow your personal brand.In 2006, while Jude was in high school, a teacher recognized his talent and encouraged him to launch a video production company.

None of that deterred him on his determination to succeed in creating a visual storytelling business and help entrepreneurs share their stories in order to scale their businesses. Jude has been in business now for 15 years. He digs deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows and then leverage storytelling to strategically scale their business. He has been blessed to produce stories for Google, Coldwell Banker, and Steve Harvey (just to name a few).

Do you have the power to heal your life and create your dream life?Dr. Vic Manzo is a Business Success Coach, Host of The Mindful Experiment Podcast, 3X Author and Chiropractor. He teaches business owners how to end burnout, work less, make more without the grind/hustle and sacrifice. Dr. Vic busts the myth that you need to grind and hustle while sacrificing your time with loved ones in order to be successful. Hard work = more success. If this was true, the majority of business owners would be massively successful, working less and enjoying more time with their family, traveling around the world and much more.Forbes.com stated that 60% of leaders are burned out. Burnout doesn't just affect your bottom line but it affects your health, relationships, mental health, spiritual well-being, emotional well-being, and basically, every fabric of life. Dr. Vic experienced this feeling in the first 5 years of his career. He would hit burnout every 4-6 months and it started to demoralize him because he couldn't understand how he could be so passionate and love everything he did in business to still experience burnout.Through his own 12-year journey through business and 15 years of studying quantum physics, universal laws, neuroscience, neurolinguistic programming, limiting beliefs, subconscious mind, behavioral neurology, and much more, Dr. Vic has come up with a basic formula to help business owners learn the process of how to create Quantum Success in their life through the Billionaire's Success Formula. This Formula is a proprietary framework and curriculum derived from my own research and experiences. What he teaches his clients is a new way of thinking that aligns with quantum physics. It is like upgrading the software on your computer. In his book, Decoding the Matrix Dr. Vic explores the forces around you that conspire to hold you back from achieving your dreams, becoming successful, and finding happiness.Listen as Dr Vic shares:- easy breathing techniques that you can practice at home- the different nervous systems and how to regulate them- the benefits of understanding quantum physics and making it work for you- understanding the main cause of burnout- understanding the power of the mind- how the mind dictates your level of success- how to create Effortless Success- how to create the life your desire without the 'hard work = success' formulaConnect with Dr Vic:Website: https://www.empoweryourreality.com (access FREE resources)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EmpowerYourReality/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmanzo/Listen to Speaking and Communications Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0nPxZKeCGcXIBGpZ2tbfZJApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-heal-yourself-w-dr-victor-manzo/id1614151066?i=1000570696089Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1870713/11004636Feel free to reach out on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roberta.ndlelaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachandspeaker/Email: [email protected] Resources:"A Walk In The Dark" by Dr. Victor Manzo"Decoding the Matrix" by Dr. Victor Manzo

How do you find common ground in hostage situations?Do you have the tools to negotiate into a win-win outcome? How do you reach common ground when you come from polar opposite sides of an issue?Terry Tucker is a sought after speaker, former SWAT Team hostage negotiator who believes in the power of a story to motivate, inspire, and help others lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives. By combining his 10-year cancer journey with his diverse business, athletic coaching, and hostage negotiating expertise, he delivers compelling yet relatable presentations for conferences, on-line events, panels, meetings, and seminars.In 2019, Terry started the website, Motivational Check, to help others find and lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives. His mission is to consistently enrich and improve lives through inspiring, diverse, and uplifting content, without sacrificing the relationship with my family and friends.Terry's greatest challenge began in 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of my foot. By the time the cancer was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in my groin. Because the disease is extremely rare he was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. He had two surgeries to remove the tumors, and after healing, he was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from returning. One thing he learned during all the pain and discomfort is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating distress and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and more resilient human being. He chose the latter.In his book, "Sustainable Excellence", Terry answers the three basic questions that will lead you to your best life. "What is excellence, how do you achieve it, and most importantly , how do you sustain it?"On this episode, he detailed the steps necessary to negotiate very challenging situations and eventually reach the desired outcome.Listen as Terry shares:- our capabilities of becoming the best we can be- how we can all lead extraordinary lives despite tough challenges- how a rare form of cancer changed his outlook on life- how to overcome obstacles and maintain excellence- how to negotiate for an eventual win-win outcome- the major role played by listening skills when negotiating- the game-changer when making the other person feel understood- how to handle a situation when emotions are on overdrive- how to control your mind before it controls you- why you are never defeated if you do not quit- how to be more resolute despite facing pain and anguishConnect with Terry:Website: https://www.motivationalcheck.comAdditional Resources:"Sustainable Excellence" by Terry Tucker"Everyday Excellence" w/ Joe Templin"How To Have Confidence And Achieve Excellence" w/ Elizabeth BatallaConnect with me:Email: [email protected] subscribe to our podcast and leave a rating and a review.Listen to Speaking and Communications Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0aUFGKhOUsJuffu0ZddqwxApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-negotiate-your-way-to-the-desired-outcome-w/id1614151066?i=1000569427755YouTube: https://youtu.be/ie4eWacbKS8
