| 151 Andrew Jenkins: Left For Dead - The 'Traitor' Who Overcame Major Trauma And Found A New Purpose | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:56:55 | |
My wife and I are huge fans of the highly successful Traitors TV show. And if you’ve watched it then in Season 2 of the UK series you’ll remember the big-hearted Welshman Andrew Jenkins, playing a Traitor and whose banishment at the last round table set the series up for a memorable finale. But the story of Andrew’s journey starts long before he was on TV. Two decades ago, at the age of 21, he was in a horrendous car accident and was thought to be dead at the side of the road. In a coma for 4 weeks he was fighting for his life and doctors told his family he would likely have severe brain damage. He proved his doctors wrong and learned to walk and talk and live again, but the journey over the next 20 some years of physical rehabilitation, mental recovery and rebuilding connection with those around him would come to define him as a person. We met recently and today Andrew is on a mission to inspire others and to try and end the stigma around mental health. We’ll be talking about the journey he’s been on and the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that helped him to figure out the path ahead. -- Andrew Jenkins: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjenkinsspeaker/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 56 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #5: Freedom To Be Imperfect | 14 Mar 2023 | 00:03:29 | |
In my book The IDEA Mindset, I wrote “Freedom is the day you realise that it’s ok not to be good at everything. Choose the path that plays to your strengths.” It sounds so obvious, but often the simplest things are the ones you need to pay most attention to. I spent a lot of my life trying to overcome my weaknesses and fill my gaps. I noticed what I couldn’t do much more than I noticed what I did really well. It led me down a lot of divergent paths as I saw myself as some kind of human multitool that needed to do a bit of everything. This week's exercise is about acknowledging and activating your strengths. In it you’ll find some freedom. And with that freedom you’ll start to unlock some of that potential that’s been stored up - ready for the day you can open the box and let it fly. -- The IDEA Mindset: https://theideamindset.com The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 55 Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown - The Unsold Mindset - How to Sell Without Selling | 13 Mar 2023 | 00:51:07 | |
Whatever we do in our work or in our life, we're all selling something. Influencing others is selling. Getting buy-in is selling. Teaching is selling. Sharing an idea you're passionate about is selling. And when you ask people who they think is the best salesperson on the planet, alive or dead, most commonly they say 'Martin Luther King Jr.', 'Steve Jobs', 'Jesus'. Selling isn't only about selling products and services. Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown sought out some of the most successful people from all walks of life, CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, trial lawyers, professional athletes, military leaders, and countless others in the hope of understanding why they're so extraordinary. They found that as different as all these incredible people were, they all had an eerily similar approach to selling. It didn't matter if they were perceived as optimists or pessimists, logical or emotional, introverted or extraverted, jovial or stoic - they were all unsold on what it meant to sell and unsold on who people expected them to be. Colin and Garrett’s book 'The Unsold Mindset - Redefining What It Means To Sell', just newly published, reveals a counterintuitive approach to not just selling, but life. This book is a journey toward an entirely new mindset — because the greatest sellers on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think. Colin and Garrett are now professors at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. And they teach a fantastically popular class, Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs. They’ve both worked in a variety of emerging technology companies and were senior leaders in an identity management software as a service company called Bitium which was acquired in 2017 by Google. They’ve been on an incredible journey ever since. -- Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown: https://www.colinandgarrett.com/ Purchase 'The Unsold Mindset': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unsold-Mindset-Redefining-What-Means/dp/0063204908 The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 54 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #4: Letting Go of Regret, Step By Step | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:03:28 | |
This morning I was thinking about how running used to be so much easier than it is today. I wish I'd been more appreciative at the time. It makes me think about how regret holds us back in life. We regret decisions we made, or didn’t make. We regret opportunities not taken. We regret not trying harder when, with hindsight it feels like that was our big moment. But in reality, the only moment that matters is the moment right now. The only thing you can control is what happens next. And the only person who can take control of this moment is you. And that’s what came into my mind this morning when I decided to carry on running. -- The IDEA Mindset: https://theideamindset.com The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 53 John Baldoni - Grace Under Pressure - Humanity, Humility and Vulnerability in Leadership | 05 Mar 2023 | 00:40:20 | |
Today’s guest on The Unlock Moment is John Baldoni, renowned US coach, keynote speaker and the author of no less than 16 books translated into 10 languages. He hosts the ‘Grace Under Pressure’ interview series on LinkedIn Live, and famously integrates piano improvisations into his keynotes – now that’s definitely a love we share. Thinkers 360 has named John a Top 10 Thought Leader for both Leadership and Management. Global Gurus ranks John a Top 15 global leadership expert. In 2021, the International Federation of Learning and Development named John a World-Class Mentor and named him to its Hall of Fame. John is also a member of the renowned 100 Coaches, founded by Marshall Goldsmith – if you’ve been listening for a while then you have enjoyed hearing from a number of this elite group of coaches, with more recording in the coming months. John’s previous books include Grace Notes: Leading in an Upside-Down World; GRACE: A Leader’s Guide to a Better Us; MOXIE: The Secret to Bold and Gutsy Leadership; Lead with Purpose; Lead Your Boss; and The Leader’s Pocket Guide. His new book Grace Under Pressure: Leading Through Change and Crisis is out at the start of April and focuses on three things leaders need to do when change and adversity strike. After all of that, what John doesn’t know about managing and leading through change and crisis surely isn’t worth knowing. I’m looking forward to hearing more about the journey that shaped him and the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity he experienced along the way. And I’m hoping that you, my listener, will find a path to your own Unlock Moment through something you hear in this conversation. -- John Baldoni: https://www.johnbaldoni.com/ Grace Under Pressure: https://www.johnbaldoni.com/books/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 52 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #3: There's Never a Better Time Than Now to Follow Your True Calling | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:03:21 | |
Time after time people say to me in coaching sessions, “I wish I’d done it sooner, when I still had time.” Whether you’re in your twenties or your eighties, everyone feels like they’re running out of time. And yet it couldn’t be further from the truth. People are uncertain about what the future holds, but as world-leading coach Marshall Goldsmith said in Episode 36 of The Unlock Moment, “There’s only one thing you can ever be happy with – what you have. There’s only one time when you can ever be happy – now. There’s only one place you can ever be happy – here.” This is why I wrote in The IDEA Mindset “There’s never a better time than now to follow your true calling.” -- The IDEA Mindset: https://theideamindset.com The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 140 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #24: We Have No Time To Stand And Stare | 06 May 2024 | 00:02:53 | |
Many years ago, when I was studying medicine and going through some challenging times, I took solace in poetry. I had never been the kind of person to study literature when I was growing up, but I set myself the challenge of learning some poems and I would go out for evening walks and recite the poetry to myself. I can’t recite them from memory any more, but I remember one that always made me reflect. It’s by the Welsh poet William Henry Davies and it’s called “Leisure”. Years on, I think this poem still has resonance for me, and I hope for you too.

From off-the-charts low scores in his school exams to raising $3 billion, Marc Kramer's story is an extraordinary one of defying expectations and making his own way in the world. As he puts it with his characteristic dry wit, "I think people always want to say, 'No, that can't happen.' And yet they overlook the fact that if somebody puts themselves out there and tries it, that there's a reasonably good chance that that might work. After all, it's all a matter of trying. I always tell my kids 50% of life is just showing up." Marc is now the executive director of the Private Investors Forum and has worked with over 1,500 companies from all over the world making introductions to angel investors. He is also the host of the hit podcast, 'The Best Business Minds'. This is an inspirational journey and a reminder that you should never write anyone off just because they didn't pass the conventional hurdles. -- Marc Kramer on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-kramer-21280/ The Best Business Minds podcast: https://thebestbusinessminds.com/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

My guest today comes from the world of the NBA and the NFL. I’m looking forward to hearing about what he’s learned along the way in a fascinating career in the world of sport, business and leadership. A 15-year pro sports business executive, Paul Epstein became the go-to fixer for NBA teams, NFL franchises, and league executive offices. He was the Why Coach of the San Francisco 49ers. He recognizes that victory comes from the inside, and requires an All-In culture empowered by a growth mindset and a belief that we all have unlimited potential – when we double down on our strengths, gifts, talents, and passions. The author of "The Power of Playing Offense", leadership coach, and the host of the Playmakers podcast, Paul is on a mission to inspire purpose and transform leadership as we know it.

| 44 Alex Budak - Becoming a Changemaker, Discovering Your Potential to Lead Positive Change | 06 Nov 2022 | 00:33:20 | |
The remarkable clarity that you experience in an Unlock Moment can trigger significant change in your life – a change of perspective, a change of priorities, maybe a change of location or career. When you suddenly let go of what’s been holding you back, the opportunities that appear ahead can be extraordinary. My guest today is an expert in making change happen, and he’s lived that experience himself. Alex Budak is on the faculty at the Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley. He’s a social entrepreneur, and the author of the new book, “Becoming a Changemaker”. He believes everyone has the potential to lead positive change, and he dedicates his life to helping people from all walks of life become changemakers. Budak co-founded StartSomeGood.com, a platform that breaks down the barriers that prevent people from enacting change. StartSomeGood.com has now helped over 1,000 changemakers in 50 countries raise over $12 million to catalyze new initiatives. He previously ran Sweden’s leading social innovation incubator, Reach for Change, and worked at Change.org. Alex has given lectures on changemaking, entrepreneurship, and leadership in venues ranging from the Ukraine to Cambodia, Los Angeles to the Arctic Circle, and at the White House and UN agencies. “Becoming a Changemaker.” is his first book and is just out. Drawing from his UC Berkeley courses, the book gives readers the tools and confidence required to become changemakers. I’m looking forward to hearing about the Unlock Moment when Alex realized that not only could he be a changemaker – but that, more importantly, every single person can be a changemaker. He describes it as a moment that catalyzed his career and became the red thread connecting his work as a social entrepreneur and academic. I love people who love change and I can’t wait to find out more. -- Alex Budak: https://www.alexbudak.com/ Becoming a Changemaker: https://www.changemakerbook.com/

| 139 Dorie Clark: How To Become A Recognised Expert, By The World's Leading Authority On Personal Brand | 02 May 2024 | 00:54:01 | |
When your guest has over 300,000 LinkedIn followers, you know that they've got something incredibly valuable to share. This powerful interview with the inspirational Dorie Clark is a classic and I'm delighted to bring it to you here on The Unlock Moment! These days I’m working with more and more leaders in different countries, cultures and contexts who share one thing in common. They’ve reached a stage in their careers where they have built a lot of stuff – the basic skills and experience required to do the job well, a track record of achievement and impact, the confidence and competence to show up at work and be generally successful. In some ways all that stuff gives you a freedom, to choose who you are and what impact you want to have as a leader. But these people are also very often completely overwhelmed and feel stuck. Running on the hamster wheel. No time for big thinking on questions like - what makes you happy and fulfilled? where are you truly at your best? who really are you as a leader? What is your leadership brand? How do you get your ideas heard? Well today I’m absolutely privileged to be welcoming a world-leading speaker, business thinker, coach and best-selling author to the podcast. Dorie Clark helps individuals and companies get their best ideas heard in a crowded, noisy world. She has been named three times as one of the Top 50 business thinkers by Thinkers50, and was honored as the #1 Communication Coach in the world at the Marshall Goldsmith Coaching Awards. She teaches for Columbia Business School in New York and is the author of The Long Game, Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You and Stand Out. She has well over 300,000 followers on LinkedIn. A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, Dorie has been described by the New York Times as an “expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.” She is a frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, and consults and speaks for clients such as Google, Yale University, and the World Bank. She is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, a producer of a multiple Grammy-winning jazz album, and a Broadway investor. Truly multi-faceted! I think we’re in a year where reinvention is a hot topic for both emerging and established leaders. I can’t wait to hear Dorie’s take and of course to explore the Unlock Moments that shaped her as the person she is today. -- Dorie Clark: https://dorieclark.com/ Dorie Clark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doriec/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 43 Kevin Sullivan - Transitioning from Military to Civilian with the Military Career Coach | 30 Oct 2022 | 00:46:58 | |
I always find it fascinating talking with veterans about the transition from the command and control structure of the military to the leadership and cultural conventions of the civilian world. We know that veterans can be some of the most inspiring and effective leaders in the workplace, but that’s no accident. It takes time to transition, assisted by personal development, mentoring, coaching. All designed to find that true, authentic leader that can bring their best self to the workplace. My guest on this episode of The Unlock Moment is a deep expert in unlocking the potential in veterans. After graduating from the University of San Francisco, Kevin Sullivan, Lieutenant Colonel US Army (retired) served 20 years as an aviation officer with the United States Army. Throughout his military career as a Blackhawk pilot, Kevin served in numerous leadership positions, culminating with service as the Director of Aviation for the US Army Pacific Command. He is a proven leader with over 30 years of senior leadership, international business development and marketing experience. He’s worked in many sectors, including significant work supporting veterans, and is the Founder and President of Leading Points Corporation, a company that builds and implements comprehensive military programs for businesses interested in establishing themselves within the military and government markets. He’s launched military programs for companies as diverse as CostCo, Golf Channel, Vail Resorts, Untuckit and many more. And now as we move into a new era where coaching is becoming available in the palm of your hand, Kevin and his team are working together with me and my colleagues at pioneering digital coach company KultraLab on a fascinating idea to support hundreds of thousands of veterans across the US using the power of digital coaching. We’ll come to that later in the conversation. I’m keen to learn more about Kevin’s own experience of the military to civilian transition, and the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that helped him to figure out the path ahead. I’m also hoping to learn more about what drives his passion to continue to serve veterans and his vision for the future. -- Leading Points Corporation: http://www.leadingpoints.com/ KultraLab: https://kultralab.com/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 42 Maika Leibbrandt - Finding Fame, Finding Freedom | 23 Oct 2022 | 01:13:10 | |
Now this is an episode I’ve been looking forward to recording for a long time. When you look at the global coaching community, there are very many coaches but not many that you would recognise walking down the street. Today’s guest is one of the most famous faces in world coaching. After starting her career in broadcast radio, Maika Leibbrandt spent over 14 years at the Gallup Organisation where she developed and launched Gallup’s Global Strengths Coach program, educating thousands of coaches and leaders on the life-changing potential of a talent-first approach to coaching – one of those coaches was me. Together with her colleague Jim Collison, she spent many years co-hosting Gallup’s popular Theme Thursday podcast, a tool for understanding and interpreting Gallup’s CliftonStrengths talent assessment. Every single one of my coachees over many years has undertaken CliftonStrengths and I always direct them to Jim and Maika’s incredible podcast content to discover more about their top talents and strengths. After working in different contexts and different countries, Maika describes herself as coming home to coaching. She says it’s the work she was born to do. Just last month she took the leap to set up her own business and is now helping leaders in her own right to experience their unique power and promise. Maika has been one of my top targets to convince and cajole to come on the podcast ever since I started The Unlock Moment, and I can assure you with absolute certainty that this is an episode you will not want to miss. -- Maika Leibbrandt: https://www.hellomaika.com/ Maika on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strengthstalk/ CliftonStrengths Theme Thursday podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/gallup-theme-thursday/id960806223 Gallup CliftonStrengths: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 41 Garry Ridge - Transforming Culture Through Servant Leadership at WD-40 | 16 Oct 2022 | 00:43:02 | |
My guest today is something of a legend in the business world, a champion of inclusive leadership and famous for building a culture of incredible employee engagement. Garry Ridge, the self-styled Culture Coach, has 25 years of experience as Chairman and CEO of WD-40 Company, makers of the iconic penetrating oil. Most of us have probably reached for our can when we’ve had a squeaky wheel or a stuck lock – it’s the kind of product that needs no introduction and no squeaky or squeak-free home can be without it. Garry is also an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego, where he teaches the principles and practices of corporate culture in the Master of Science in Executive Leadership program. Garry’s philosophy on company culture is based on Aristotle’s quote – “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” Turning that principle into action, Garry believes that all leaders can create a workplace where you go to work each day, make a contribution to something bigger than yourself, learn something new, feel safe, are protected, and are provided freedom by a set of values and go home happy! He is passionate about the learning and empowering organizational culture he has helped establish at the WD-40 Company. In 2009, Garry co-authored a book with renowned speaker and author Ken Blanchard outlining his effective leadership techniques, titled “Helping People Win at Work: A Business Philosophy Called ‘Don’t Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A.” A native of Australia, Garry holds a certificate in Modern Retailing and a Master of Science in Executive Leadership from the University of San Diego. And like several others who have graced The Unlock Moment in recent times, Garry is a member of the esteemed Marshall Goldsmith 100 group of the world’s leading executive coaches. I’m looking forward to hearing Garry’s unique perspective on inclusive leadership and how to build a culture where your people are truly engaged. And of course, to discover the Unlock Moments when he figured out this remarkable clarity about the path ahead. -- Garry Ridge on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garryridge/ The Learning Moment: https://thelearningmoment.net/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 40 James D White: Anti-Racist Leadership, a Personal Journey | 01 Oct 2022 | 00:33:24 | |
In this episode I’m delighted to welcome one of America’s top corporate leaders, James D White, to The Unlock Moment. As the former CEO of the smoothie brand Jamba Juice, James led a successful turnaround, achieved record results and ushered in a new era of diversity and inclusion. He is a transformational leader with over thirty years' experience as a CEO and operating executive in the consumer products, retail, and restaurant industries, as well as an experienced corporate director and adviser with twenty years of experience on more than fifteen public and private boards. James currently chairs the board of the recently IPO'd Honest Company, founded by Jessica Alba, and is Executive Chair of the startup Air Protein, in addition to several other boards. In 2020, he launched his own firm, Culture Design Lab, to coach, train, and lead CEOs, boards, Chief People Officers, and Chief Diversity Officers on operationalizing his diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) playbook. White is regularly featured in the media for his work, including Harvard Business Review, Shark Tank and the Wall Street Journal. Now, in his groundbreaking book Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Corporate Culture in a Race-Conscious World James and his daughter Krista, who has joined him in his work, offer real-world advice on how business leaders can address what has become the most important goal in the corporate world today. I’m looking forward to hearing James’s perspective on practical actions leaders can take to promote diversity and inclusion to create a true culture of belonging. And of course I’m fascinated to hear the Unlock Moments along the way that helped him figure out the path ahead. -- Purchase 'Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Corporate Culture in a Race-Conscious World' at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anti-Racist-Leadership-Transform-Corporate-Race-Conscious/dp/1647821975 Discover the Culture Design Lab at: https://www.culturedesignlabs.com/ Discover Honest Company at: https://www.honest.com/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

Today's guest is a master in the art of a great question as well as one of the smartest people I've had the pleasure of interviewing on The Unlock Moment. This is an episode that will help you to think really big when figuring out your north star or purpose in life. Seth Goldenberg's most recent book, "Radical Curiosity: Questioning Commonly Held Beliefs to Imagine Flourishing Futures", was recently selected as an FT Business Book of the Month. Seth Goldenberg is a designer, curator, and entrepreneur who harnesses the power of questioning to catalyze innovation and cultural change.

| 38 Ryan Hartman: The View from 100,000 Feet | 11 Sep 2022 | 00:35:00 | |
For many years I’ve encouraged my corporate teams and my coaching clients to take a more 100,000 foot view of the world. We all have a habit of getting lost in the weeds sometimes and it’s a useful skill to be able to rise above the chaos and survey the big picture. So it made a huge amount of sense to bring someone on to the podcast who could help us do just that. For space tech CEO Ryan Hartman, a life in the military, aerospace and defence prepared him for top leadership roles in some of the most cutting edge industries in the world. But what he discovered about himself and his own purpose was even more impactful. Flying fast, now the lesson of slowing down. Ryan Hartman is the Chief Executive of space tech pioneer WorldView. Based in Tucson, Arizona, WorldView is unlocking opportunities through a low-cost, long-duration persistent high-altitude flight for commercial and government customers. That’s a lot of long words and I know Ryan’s going to bring it to life for you much better than I ever could. But here on the Unlock Moment, we’re also fascinated in the personal journey. Ryan is a veteran of the US Air Force and Navy. He led the Unmanned Systems Directorate for aerospace and defence business Raytheon. And most recently he’s been President and Chief Executive of Insitu, a pioneer in the design, development and manufacturing of unmanned aircraft systems. His is a fascinating CV and I’m looking forward to finding out what he’s learned about leadership and purpose along the way in so many high performance environments. -- https://worldview.space/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-m-hartman/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

| 37 Justin Zorn & Leigh Marz: Finding the Silence | 24 Aug 2022 | 00:46:19 | |
When I talk to people who have experienced an Unlock Moment, a remarkable flash of clarity when they’ve figured out the path ahead, they often describe a moment of silence. It might be real silence, the absence of sound, or it might be that the world has slowed down for a moment – a shocking piece of news, a change in circumstances, that has caused them to stop and reflect.
What’s the deepest silence you’ve ever known? Today, amidst the mass proliferation of mental stimulation, this may be a difficult question to answer. Yet it’s a question that could contain a key to solving some of the most serious personal and even global challenges that we face. In their new book "Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise", Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz invite us to rethink our definition of silence—not just as the absence of noise, but as a presence that can bring us energy, clarity, and deeper connection.
I’m keen to discover more about how you can find this silence in your everyday life, and through that silence discover the path to your own Unlock Moment. Let’s pause ….. listen ….. and dive in to this fascinating topic.

| 36 Dr Marshall Goldsmith: The Earned Life | 12 Aug 2022 | 00:48:09 | |
In this remarkable Master Locksmith episode of The Unlock Moment, I meet Dr Marshall Goldsmith, the world's number one executive coach. A member of the Thinkers 50 Hall of Fame, Harvard Business Review named him the World’s #1 Leadership Thinker. He’s written or edited 43 books, which have sold over 2.5 million copies and been translated into 32 languages. In Amazon’s 100 best leadership-and-success books ever written, he has 2 of them, including my favourite leadership lesson of all, What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. A former professor of management practice at the Dartmouth Tuck School of Business in New Hampshire, Marshall has worked with over 200 major CEOs and their management teams. On social media he has 1.4 million followers on LinkedIn and over 3 million views on YouTube. Marshall’s new book The Earned Life came out just recently. Subtitled Lose Regret, Choose Fulfilment, it offers practical advice aimed at helping us shed the obstacles that prevent us from creating our own fulfilling lives. With this book as your guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done – even in a world full of inescapable unfairness and curveballs – and live an earned life that is too fulfilling to dwell on the “what ifs”.

| 34 Nathan Furr: The Upside of Uncertainty | 18 Jul 2022 | 00:36:11 | |
In this special Master Locksmith episode, I interview INSEAD Professor and author Nathan Furr, whose latest co-authored book, “The Upside of Uncertainty: A Guide to Finding Possibility in the Unknown” is out now. Whilst the classic format of the Unlock Moment podcast explores a person’s life and career journey and dives into their personal moments of clarity, with The Master Locksmith episodes I invite experts in psychology, leadership and motivation to bring their ideas and guidance to help you, my listener, to find your own Unlock Moments. Most people – especially leaders – view uncertainty as a negative, something anxiety-inducing, stressful, even paralysing. But what if uncertainty could be transformed to produce a wellspring of new ideas and fresh approaches, while turning fear into courage, paralysis into resilience, and converting change-resistant people into adaptive, risk-taking innovators? This is not dream thinking. It is based on the actionable, research-backed framework developed and taught by renowned INSEAD Professor and corporate advisor Nathan Furr, a global authority on leadership, strategy, digital transformation, and disruptive innovation – and one of the world’s foremost experts on managing uncertainty. Listen in and hear how to navigate uncertainty in your own life and career!

| 33 Ben Prouty: Know When It's Your Time To Lead | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:50:41 | |
In this episode I interview serial start-up entrepreneur and CEO Ben Prouty, whose experience at high-growth startups including Streetcar (car sharing), Lovespace (storage by the box), Shepper (asset inspection) and now Poncho (family support platform for working parents) taught him the stage of a company's lifecycle that energises him and brings out his best as a leader. Ben brings a refreshing honesty to counter the assumption that entrepreneurs all want to be the next Zuckerberg or Musk - in fact he is at his best in the scrappy, early stages of start-up growth. This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone who's been there and worn the t-shirt time after time, on each occasion creating strong, scaled businesses that disrupt their sectors using a fresh strategic approach and the power of technology.

| 30 Anthony and Kel Matsena: Creativity Fuels The Journey From Darkness To Light | 16 Jun 2022 | 01:19:40 | |
In this episode I interview emerging stars of the dance and performance world Anthony and Kel Matsena. This episode of The Unlock Moment is very special, very moving, very powerful. Listening back. I was amazed at Anthony and Kel's richness of thought, their perspective, their wisdom at such a young age, still only in their 20s. The Matsena brothers have been through a huge amount in their lives. Being uprooted from their home in Zimbabwe, terrible family tragedy, and their experience of oppression has shaped their creative identity as breakthrough choreographers and performers. But so has the warm community that welcomed and embraced them in South Wales, the creative industry that has given them a huge platform, and the audiences who are wowed by their work. I've known the brothers a while and knew some of their story before we talked, but I have rarely had a conversation that has left me so affected. If you're like me, you'll be struck by how the tough times could so easily have pushed them to a really dark place, and instead have inspired them to speak through love, joy and empowerment in their creative voice. With most of these podcasts, we edit them down to give you just the best bits of the conversation. Here it's so compelling, we just couldn't take anything out. Sit back and listen in to this incredible interview with the extraordinary Anthony and Kel Matsena.

| 26 Adwoa Akoto: Purpose, Authenticity, Impact - Discovering Your Path | 24 May 2022 | 00:46:20 | |
In this episode I meet Adwoa Akoto, British-Ghanaian actor, writer, model and entrepreneur who appeared in HBO/BBC's hit series 'I May Destroy You'. She talks about her unusual route from economics and finance into acting and how her experience working with NGOs shaped her desire to create impact in this world. Reflecting on the conversation, she says, "I didn't even realise a lot of the answers to the questions that you're asking me, I've never really thought about in so much detail. So this has been really enlightening for myself as well." Listen to the power of silence in allowing the brain to do the thinking it needs to do - an essential element of discovering your own moments of remarkable clarity. Adwoa is an inspiration to young actors and entrepreneurs, especially those of hybrid nationality like herself, and this episode is an object lesson in how you can discover clarity in your path ahead if you just create the right environment for great thinking.

In this episode I meet executive coach and team facilitator Dolly Waddell, whose upbringing in the orbit of a highly successful family luxury jewellery business honed her natural instinct for entrepreneurship. A moment of tough self-reflection made clear how her life as a vicar's wife and mother of four was defined and constrained by societal expectations, running contrary to her vibrant natural spirit of individuality. This Unlock Moment led her to intentionally change the rules, define her own future and take ownership of the path ahead. Supported by a loving husband and a family advisory board aged between 5 and 13 (the offspring genuinely have contracts in place - listen in!), Dolly's energy and spirit that she brings to her life and work is truly infectious and I'm sure you will enjoy this fabulous episode! -- Web: https://dollywaddell.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dollywaddell/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.
