Breaking Health Taboos: Redefining Menopause + Women's Health, with Femgevity CEO, Michele Wispelwey29 Sep 202400:30:20

Send us a text

"We figured out that there’s this whole opportunity for women to see getting older as a positive thing. It doesn’t have to be this negative part of your life. It can actually be super exciting and empowering. It’s about embracing the changes and feeling better, not worse, as you get older."

In this episode of Have a Seat, I sit down with Michele Wispelwey, CEO and Co-founder of FemGevity, to dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of menopause healthcare. 

We explore why it’s crucial for women to advocate for themselves, how to approach conversations with doctors about body changes, and the evolving landscape of women’s wellness. 

Michele’s passion for empowering women through health education and her insights on navigating menopause make this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about taking control of their health.

Lessons Learned From Our Younger Selves, A Spooky Have A Seat Minicast30 Oct 202200:25:00

Send us a text

"When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween."

So in the ghouly spirit of October, I took to the mic to chat about the ways in which we should bring back the more free spirited characteristics of our inner child that honestly, may have been pushed aside as we've gotten older. 

When did we start operating from a place of fear? Fear of speaking up? Fear of being direct? Fear of taking a misstep and course correcting? Fear of learning something new? Fear of being honest? Fear of laughing until our sides hurt? Fear of admitting to what brings us joy? 

Take a quick listen and let me know your thoughts or I invite you to Have A Seat with me to continue the conversation!

Office Tips & Tricks, Have A Seat With Me And Let's Chat About It, A Have A Seat Minicast23 Oct 202200:27:35

Send us a text

"You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the water slide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute." ~ Tina Fey

As an employee of a primarily remote work organization, I am continually impressed by the amount of resources they have  available for their remote teams. One such resource is a brief feel good newsletter with helpful life tips and hacks that make for a light hearted read.

One such newsletter recently shared tips on how to gear up for holiday guests and socializing. The tips they offered were really good, and they got me thinking how great these would work within the office environment as well, whether remote, hybrid or in-office. So I took to the mic and offered my rebooted take on their advice.

Got a quick minute? Take a listen and let me know your thoughts or ideas. Can you relate to any of the tips? Let me know and let's continue the conversation!

Leading From Our Living Rooms, A Conversation With The Living Room Leader Author, Debbie Goodman09 Oct 202200:38:11

Send us a text

“Everybody became a Living Room Leader in the early days of lockdown; depending on your home setup, you were leading from the living room, from the bathroom, from the closet…everyone was forced into this remote work leadership situation."

I was incredibly excited for the opportunity to Have A Seat with Debbie Goodman, author of Amazon #1 best seller, The Living Room Leader: Leadership Lessons for a Hybrid Future. 

As Debbie has stated, around mid-March 2020 or thereabouts, many became Living Room Leaders (or Bedroom/Kitchen/Garage Leaders), having to figure out new ways to manage, motivate, hire and engage their teams with no road map, no ‘best practice’ guidelines, and no ‘how-to-lead-remote-teams-RIGHT-NOW’ training manual.

As CEO of Jack Hammer Global, Debbie understands the shift that many leaders have had to make in record time, in order to lead, hire and engage their people, during what is undoubtedly the most challenging work-life experience that any of us have ever encountered.

Removing The Stigma Around Administrative Roles, A Conversation with Construction Executive + Author, Jamie Vanek28 Aug 202200:48:55

Send us a text

“We use the title administrative assistant so liberally that it almost diminishes the responsibilities of true administrative assistants. I advocate taking a deeper dive into how you assign these titles and making sure they are truly appropriate for the responsibilities that you are assigning to your admin.” 

This week I had the absolute pleasure to Have A Seat with Jamie Vanek, who not only is  a successful construction industry executive and author, but she is also a strong advocate for small business executives to better align with their administrative colleagues to achieve optimal success. 
Jamie has designed a framework for doing just that in her new book, Buried in Business, Find Freedom by Unlocking the Power of Your Admin Team, due to launch in the Fall of 2022.

This is a can't miss episode for executives and administrators alike.

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, springs up and makes new trees . ~ Amelia Earhart

As is the case with most of my minicasts, two events happened this past week that inspired me to hop on the mic.
Inspiration #1 came in the form of a webinar that was about as far from being diverse as you could get, in unfortunately too many ways.
Inspiration #2 came when I heard an alternative definition of what it means to be an introvert. Truly blew my mind, I love when that happens!

So in case you jumped straight to this episode and missed listening to part 1 allow me do the honors again. Friends, it it my absolute pleasure to introduce you to the next voice in the administrative professional landscape, Team Solo Admin Blogger, Anieka Johnson.

This is part 1 of our 2 part conversation as there was a moment where we naturally ventured a bit off topic to discuss the value that can be found when administrative support professionals diversify their talents and time into something not work related.

It was such a great segment that when I cut it from episode 1, I decided on the spot, to create a part 2 featuring just that part of the chat. Be sure to check out the prior episode to appreciate the full scope of this fun conversation.

As a woman, as you’re trying to work on your emotional intelligence, how do you manage that? How do you check yourself and ask, what is a trigger point, a topic  or a person, that’s triggering me to make these emotions come up?

Betsy Kauffman has observed and worked side by side with hundreds of leaders for the past 20 years and has seen just about every variation of how Leadership Teams operate and execute (both successfully and not so successfully). She deeply understands and has experienced firsthand when the team of individuals charged with leading the organization are not aligned, focused, and working as one, the rest of the organization suffers.

Her superpowers include the ability to see, name, and discuss the "elephants in the room" and the ability to empathetically deliver honest and open feedback.

“The amount of energy your body has to deal with when faced with a trauma is comparable to a house when it’s not designed to face lightning”

​Carolin Hauser is an internationally recognized speaker and teacher on the subjects of spirituality, relationships, emotional healing, and Bonding-Based Lovemaking. She combines her knowledge about energetic healing and conscious co-creation to help couples go from feeling frustrated, stuck, and disconnected in their intimacy to feeling deeply connected, excited, and fulfilled so that they can feel whole and fully expressed in life, and are able to create honeymoon feelings that last.

One of the intriguing things I learned throughout the span of our conversation was that even in these topsy turvy times many of us find ourselves in, true spiritual connection can be found with our partners and through this connecting we may find a path to healing past traumas.

How to Have a Healthier Relationship With Empty Nest Syndrome, A Conversation with Magenta Consulting Founder, Bridget Belden26 Jun 202200:42:51

Send us a text

“Whatever is left over is what we leave for ourselves, so it’s shifting that perspective to start investing that time in yourself so that you can discover who you are”

Bridget Belden is Founder and CEO of Magenta Consulting, a coaching organization providing world class tools to empower women to discover who they are beyond being a mom. Prior to her current venture, Bridget worked for more than 15 years in retail and apparel manufacturing. After a very personal introspective journey in pursuit of finding her purpose, she left her job to explore her calling. In 2006, she founded Ripple Kids, a nonprofit seeking to inspire and empower kids to take action in their communities. 

After 10 years running Ripple Kids full time and with her own kids gone from the nest, she realized it was an opportune time for her next life evolution, starting a venture based on her own journey of self-discovery, hence, Magenta Consulting was born. Bridget supports moms through life-changing one-on-one coaching and free transformational workshops, reconnecting with who they were before they had kids in pursuit of a life of passion and purpose.

Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.― Ben Okri

Yes this is another quick chat about WFH/remote work. I know you may be tired of hearing me speak on and on about the joys of working remotely, and I get it. However this week, I wanted to divert the conversation a bit and talk about the social emotional aspect of remote work, and call out the "mean person" tactics and attitudes that I've encountered along my WFH journey. So if you'll bear with me a few minutes, I share two quick areas I felt were worth mentioning.

Topic #1 - WFH Shade and Mean Person Tactics
Topic #2 - The End of the Agonizing In-Office Only Forced Fun Activities

As usual this minicast is a bit on the sassy side and as you may or may not know, I don't care, it's how I roll and I hope you  enjoy and appreciate the sarcasm, humor and candor.

Real Self Confidence vs. The Falsehood of Perfectionism, A Conversation with Leadership Coach Asia Bribiesca-Hedin05 Jun 202200:43:26

Send us a text

"No one, absolutely no one, has more agency in your career, your professional growth, your satisfaction or your contribution than you do. No one."

Imposter Syndrome. Self Confidence. Self-doubt. Unfortunately for women in the workplace, these words have never before held so much meaning as they do today.

That is why I was very much looking forward to this week's conversation with the Founder of Bridgewell Professional Services and Leadership Coach, Asia Bribiesca-Hedin. One of Asia's primary coaching focus is on assisting women in becoming their own career strategists, to help us answer the question, what is the intention that drives us, how do we show up for not only ourselves but those on our team as well?

Our conversation centered around, how we may normalize imposter syndrome, to turn it around and use it to our advantage, and how those in leadership roles, should find the managerial courage to become allies to the women in their organizations to help break down those all too real, imposter syndrome feelings, and so much more.

"Digital nomad life, even created in your home town, offers much to explore in the areas in which people live. How can doing new things, in your life and getting out of your comfort zone, actually lead to more internal comfort and learning?"

Remote work looks and feels different for many, with no apparent hard and fast rules in place, which is why this conversation with Ali Greene, was pure gold.

With seven years and counting of remote work experience, and four years leading remote teams while traveling full-time, Ali Greene is a digital nomad at heart - spending most of her time in Spain and France.

Her mission is to empower people and companies, helping them thrive in making work (and life!) more freeing, flexible, and focused. Ali was named a "Remote Expert and Influencer to Watch" by Remote Teams (Acquired by Gusto) and is a frequent Speaker and Podcast Guest on all things Remote Work.

A Have A Seat Minicast: Let's Talk Training!22 May 202200:27:14

Send us a text

The next time you’re tasked with teaching someone something, remember: it’s only easy for you because you already know how to do it. ~ Seth Godin

We see the signs everywhere and read the articles about the Great Reshuffling and with all this change we are bound to be tasked with helping to onboard a new employee or team member, either voluntarily or voluntold.

In either case, I think it’s important as either the trainee or trainer, to exercise a high degree of empathy in these unique times we're in. We all remember what it was like when we were new to the organization or new to the department, learning  and memorizing all the faces, names, policies, and let’s not forget those famous acronyms…yikes! It can all be just a bit overwhelming!

I recently started in a new role, which led me to thinking about how we handle those trainee/trainer moments.  This topic is one that I explore and chat about in this minicast for May.

Your turn! Agree or disagree? Register to be a guest and let's chat about it.  I would welcome the chance to continue the conversation with you too:

The Value of Bridging The Literacy Gap, A Conversation with Hindi's Library Co-Founder Leslie Gang15 May 202200:42:22

Send us a text

“It’s very gratifying to see that these books are helping to bridge the literacy gap and that the team is able to get books into the hands of children who don’t have any; they want to read, to experience being a kid, seeing that it’s really theirs, there’s nothing that can replace that.”

In August of 2018, a community lost an incredible human being, Dr. Hindi Krinsky, at the young age of 32. To continue Hindi's legacy, family and friends chose to build three free-standing libraries in her children's school. In order to fill these libraries, they reached out to the community for gently used books.

​Within two weeks, they received approximately 500 books. They knew then that this was going to be much bigger than just three small libraries.

Meet the Co-Founder of Hindi's Libraries and children's author in her own right, Leslie Gang, whose passion and love of literacy has helped a small community project become an international literacy movement that has helped children around the world embrace their love of reading.

A Peek Inside the World of Supporting HNWI's, A Fascinating Conversation with Executive Assistant, Kaleen Skersies08 May 202200:43:22

Send us a text

"At some point you cannot physically do everything that is on your list, I had to delegate to trustworthy individuals because I couldn’t possibly do every single task myself; there just aren’t enough hours in the day"

Kaleen Skersies is an Executive Assistant to the CEO at Esper. Kaleen specializes in the holistic support of C-Suite executives as they lead their teams.

Before joining Esper, Kaleen previously worked for multiple HNW individuals and has served as estate planner in the private service sector. I was excited to talk to Kaleen as she represents a segment of admin professionals that I haven’t had the opportunity to talk with in depth, executive assistants who support high net worth individuals or HNWI’s. Kaleen’s engaging tales of the level of support that is expected for this incredibly niche client base was fascinating to hear, I was truly both astounded and impressed.

Can True Happiness At Work Be Found? A Conversation with Happiness At Work Researcher, Dr. Kathryn Owler01 May 202200:44:12

Send us a text

"It’s good to take a pause and really think about what is going on for me, how do I want it to be, why is it not going quite how I would want it to be, why am I having these feelings about this job that maybe in the past it was all kind of fine, but now has all these different things going on; start to ask ourselves, am I having fun at work and if not, how can I start to do that a bit more?"

Dr. Kathryn Owler has become passionate about finding ways to experience more fun and enjoyment at work.  As a woman researcher she started her career expecting to have a blast at work all the time - only to become disillusioned in her first job and subsequent jobs thereafter. Consequently, she channeled her despair & disappointment into academic research – most recently sharing the secrets of workers who’ve had fun at any job they’ve ever had!

Listen in as Kathryn shares how finding happiness at work goes much deeper than just surface level fun and how finding true happiness in our career can help us achieve greater joy and purpose at work.

Rising To The Level of Our Talent, A Sassy Have A Seat Minicast17 Apr 202200:30:25

Send us a text

"There comes a point when you have to rise to the level of your talent"― Ryan Clark

 This week's topic is centered around something I heard a few months ago during the 2022 Super Bowl week. Many of you are very vocal about how far you’ve come in your careers and how you’ve quite deservedly, risen to the top level of your career ladder. Great! So why is it that I am constantly seeing posts about, to be perfectly frank, petty issues that should be well beneath you at this stage of your career? Either you’re the high powered, talented executive assistant you claim to be or...you’re not.

Yes friends, this episode gets a little sassy, I do go there, and if you know me you know I’m not afraid to say what needs to be said. Have A Seat with me and hear why “rising to the level of our talent” had me running for the record button this week.

Decorating Burnout Is Real! A Conversation With Interior Design Specialist, Danni Sinclair23 Jan 202200:43:32

“Design is about identifying what your particular style is and optimizing it to a place where it’s right for you and making you feel balanced and whole as a person”

A degenerative back condition at a young age led Danni Sinclair to yoga where her creative process in finding balance, alignment and beauty in all spaces was born. It was that same philosophy that  drove her to starting her own interior design firm, Decohaus, where she  works in partnership with her clients to create an inviting space full of balance and beauty.  Listen in as Danni shares:

  • How she made the transition from a fast paced 9-5 to becoming her own boss
  • The importance our physical space plays in our mental wellbeing
  • The value of recognizing what isn’t working in our space along with what does
