Cheryl Esposito welcomes Greg Delson, vocal artist songwriter, & Founder of the LANDLIGHTS Center for Voice in Los Angeles, CA. When he’s not touring or performing with his band – Father Tiger – or with collectives and music projects, Greg is teaching. Greg Delson knows the power of voice. Singing lets people tap into their own power. GRAMMY award winners & beginners come to him to work his magic, producing stellar results. He says, “It’s not magic, it’s science!” He would know. As a singer, he had his own voice problems. He couldn’t hit certain keys, bouts of laryngitis – he was distraught & researched answers. A discovery of the Complete Vocal Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, saved his voice, led to a 3-year Singing Teacher’s Diploma & continued his singing career. Greg often says: Singing is not a talent, it's a skill. He’s proving it at LANDLIGHTS Center for Voice. He created the Community Choir. Each season, random groups of people come together (no matter the experience & skill level, and no auditioning!) for sessions instructed by Greg, culminating in a concert performance with a live band. It is life changing! For Greg, he is happy to extend his passion beyond himself, proving to people they can sing & feel the deep joy it brings. Greg’s work reminds us of our humanity. Magic, indeed. Join Cheryl Esposito & Greg Delson to learn the secrets of the voice - magic that’s not magic!

Shelly has helped thousands of people, using The Lefkoe Method, to eliminate beliefs that were keeping them from happiness, achieving their dreams, experiencing the life they were meant to live.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Kute Blackson, inspirer, best-selling author, transformational teacher, & wisdom leader to a new generation of spiritual seekers. Kute’s mission is simple: To awaken and inspire people across the planet to access inner freedom, live authentically and fulfill their true life’s purpose. His recent book, The Magic of Surrender I Finding the Courage to Let Go challenges us to take a new look at surrender. “Surrender isn’t giving up. It’s not about breaking you down; it’s about breaking you open – breaking your heart open to all that is possible for you. It’s tapping into a source that is bigger than your own personal power.” Kute Blackson was born in Ghana, the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father and has lived his life on four continents. Kute’s gift of oration was cultivated at an early age as he watched his minister father teach and inspire congregations throughout Africa and London. It was expected that Kute would continue his father’s legacy – except Kute wanted something more in his life. He knew that what everyone wanted for him was not what his heart wanted for him. This was one of Kute’s first (of many) opportunities to surrender to his truth. When he spoke his truth, he empowered himself to take a step forward into the unknown of potential. He had to let go. It was Kute’s mother who quietly practiced surrender as a life principle – everything is as it should be; every moment is a learning, and an opportunity to live one’s truth. Kute lives this everyday. Are you ready...to surrender to what life wants for you? Join Cheryl Esposito & Kute Blackson to explore the Magic of Surrender!

Her newest book Does My Voice Matter? A Journey of Self-Discovery, Authenticity and Empowerment, captures our imagination as we explore “what if’s” of our own story, name the signature moments of our life, and vision what else is mine to do with this life?” Cynthia's experience of great successes and what felt like epic fails, catalyzed her to transform her pattern. She decided that no situation has the power to hijack your life - unless you let it. Cynthia began to understand that those fails - they typically were prefaced with part of her shutting down. “...my entire life had been about silencing my voice to be safe.” Join Cheryl Esposito with Cynthia James … your voice matters more than you know!

Rinaldo Brutoco is certain: business for good doesn't require sacrificing profit. He says core thinking about business must evolve, beginning with shifting consciousness of 1) business leaders: because you act differently if you think you are responsible for the result; 2) young people going into business: because you act differently in the temple than you do in the jungle; & 3) how the public votes with its dollars - putting its money where its values are: because when the public does this, business will immediately shift in response. “Well. Isn’t that special? Tell it to the stockholders.” And that is exactly what Rinaldo Brutoco is doing. Join Cheryl Esposito with Rinaldo Brutoco to vision business as a partner in making the world a better place for all.

Is your leadership about Power or Trust? Dawa says 'we are moving from the Age of Information to the Age of Meaning'- the requirements of leadership have transformed. Leaders who over-invest in their power are destined to fail. Their currency is fear. Showing vulnerability risks power loss. Leaders for the Age of Meaning know: power and influence comes from strength and flexibility. They invest in inspiring the trust and confidence in others. They develop people and create meaning in work: they are comfortable with uncertainty. Self-awareness is paramount. Dawa says “…your leadership stands and falls with the quality of your presence, the clarity of your mind, the health of your relationships and your courage in taking skillful action.” Join Cheryl Esposito and Dawa Tarchin Phillips exploring Leadership in the Age of Meaning!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Freeman Michaels & Susan Leahy, co-founders of Group to Team Leadership Solutions. How many times have you worked on a team, only to discover that no one was really interested in being a team? Freeman Michaels & Susan Leahy say the concept of team is widely misunderstood. There is a difference between acting as a group of individuals motivated by separate self-interest, versus operating as a team fueled by shared vision and mutual interest. Here’s the linchpin: successful teams begin with each individual. Everything you do, say or think is either propelling the organization further into group or generating more team. Freeman and Susan have created a way to determine whether your choices, attitudes & behavior are viewed through the lens of group or the lens of team. Ready to explore this new vision of team?
