Episode #18: Vickie Woosley

Season 1 · Episode 18

Saturday, June 29, 2024 • Duration 01:05:49

“It all falls back to relationship for me.”

Vickie Woosley , full-time psychologist with the NHL’s Nashville Predators, said that and she believes it with everything in her. In fact, she believes that relationship is of utmost importance if leaders ever want anyone to follow them. If they don’t have a relationship with you, why would they ever want to do anything for you? Great question.

So, how do you go about building relationship? And once you do, how can you ensure that those in your care are mentally well enough to do whatever is asked of them? Well, Vickie has all kinds of answers to that question, which have come from her 21 years as an undercover agent with the FBI and now, working with a bunch of big, tough hockey players who have to be mentally well to even hope to compete.

How to be your very best in the highest-pressure situations is something Vickie knows so well and the conversation in this episode will prove that and give you an inside look at how you and those you lead, can do it too.

Episode #17: Melinda Harrison

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, May 30, 2024 • Duration 53:01

“People want to know that they matter.”

Something Melinda Harrison works on with high performance athletes transitioning out of sport and into the real world all the time. As an Olympic swimmer herself, she knows of what she speaks. She herself struggled with finding her way once she retired from sport. So, how can you help lead high performers in YOUR organization? How can you ensure that they feel like a valued member of your team… even in the learning stages? How can individuals who only know an “all in” mentality, feel like they’re ever successful again in this thing we call life?

Well, that’s why Melinda did the work. That’s why she asked so many questions of successfully transitioned athletes and then, decided that she HAD to put the answers into a book.

Now, whether you ARE or WERE a high-performance athlete, you are close to one, or maybe you just hired one… this is a listen you are NOT going to want to miss.

“I’ll retire when it becomes work.”

That’s what CEO and President of Golden West Broadcasting, Elmer Hildebrand says whenever anyone asks him when he’s going to retire. Now the question is not unreasonable, considering he’s 86 years old. But he still continues to love what he does and with 40 radio stations and 20 online portals, he does a lot! But what was the recipe for his success, considering it all started with one small AM radio station in Altona back in 1957? And how is AM and FM radio still viable in 2023? According to Elmer it all comes down to investing in people and the communities where you are. He thinks it’s a pretty simple business. So, listen, hear for yourself and enjoy.

Episode #15: Kiirsten May

Season 1 · Episode 15

Tuesday, August 1, 2023 • Duration 49:50

“Our mission is to make marketing better”.

“Our social purpose is to inspire the social consciousness of brands.”

Kiirsten May said both of those things about the company that she co-owns with Alex Varrichio, Uphouse Inc. A marketing and public relations agency providing services to clients in all different sectors and she is our guest today. Kiirsten is an award-winning copywriter, brand consultant and co-author of The Proximity Paradox (co-written with UpHouse co-owner Alex Varricchio). She and Alex have proven to be some amazing humans doing some pretty amazing things.

Just 6 years ago, they risked doing their own thing and now, 37 employees and counting later, there’s no doubt that the “way” they are doing things is resonating with their employees and the clients they work with. But not only that, even the Advertising Association of Winnipeg is taking note. This year, Uphouse Inc. received 6 of their Signature Awards for their work with Inland Fine Furnishings, Wildlife Haven and TECHNATION. They also received runner up honours for the work they did with Anne Mulaire and the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council.

The list of positives, when it comes to Uphouse Inc, is long and we’d prefer to let you learn more about it from the story that Kiirsten tells in this episode of “Mental Health for Performance”. Take a listen and enjoy.

Season 1 · Episode 14

Monday, July 3, 2023 • Duration 57:25

“The whole thing was just an adventure from the beginning. Except that in the centre of it all and what it’s about is people. It really is. It’s about people, it’s about relationships, about how you treat others and to this day I would still say that.”

The Honourable Janice Filmon DID say that and you are in luck because she has a lot more to say than just that, in this episode of “Mental Health for Performance”.

She was Manitoba’s twenty-fifth Lieutenant Governor – only the second woman to hold the post in the province’s history. She is married to former Premier of Manitoba, The Honourable Gary Filmon, they have four children, plus many grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was born and raised in Winnipeg. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics from the University of Manitoba. She worked as a social worker with the Children’s Aid Society before finding her true calling in the voluntary sector and she was inducted into the Order of Manitoba in 2007 and the Order of Canada in 2013!!

She is so many things – but perhaps the greatest thing about her is that she is real and she truly cares about making a difference.… and you will FEEL that when you listen.
