Passion for Impact

Women Equity & Diversity in the Workplace

In today's episode I am chatting with two women who have a passion for gender diversity and equity–and have hit the pavement with that passion by creating an impact business that has the most fitting name→ The Thoughtful Company.  The Thoughtful Co. supports women in understanding and negotiating their compensation, and advises employers on attracting and retaining women over the long-term. Their goal is to create structures that allow women to thrive over their full career.  Co founders Jillian and Sophie are equal parts passion, purpose and ACTION. Expand your diversity & equity for women understanding and your leadership skills--such an important topic and so much insight shared here.

The Success-Energy Equation with Michelle Cederberg

In this episode of Passion for Impact I am speaking with  the infectious Michelle Cederberg-- a powerhouse speaker and consultant. Michelle works to empower people toward a bigger version of themselves: Someone who can go out into the world with more energy, focus, kindness and confidence.  When people feel better about themselves - physically, mentally and emotionally, they'll hopefully use those powers for good - for themselves, their families, and the world around them. I have personally witnessed Michelle using her powers for good and it’s inspiring. Ready to talk about regaining focus and recharging our lives during these crazy times? Michelle is in the house!

I asked Candace to be on the show to share her insights and some tools for all of us to be more effective, productive and impactful leaders as we engage team members who work in a remote setting. I am curious about trends on “return to work” and best practices for valuing and leading the people who mean so much to us as leaders, HR professionals, CEO’s.  Ready to take notes and elevate your leadership and IMPACT?

Sales, Selling and Service with Marty Park.

In this episode of Passion for Impact I’m speaking with Marty Park from Evolve Business Group. As a business owner Marty actively looks for ways for his core business to support initiatives in the community and globally that positively impact other entrepreneurs, families and communities. 
Marty is a lifelong, serial entrepreneur who has owned and operated 13 companies in various industries. As an award-winning business coach and powerful sales trainer, Marty believes that to grow your business, you must grow and improve the people within it. He blends his business experience with practical insights learned as a business coach and consultant in his recent book Tiger By the Tail. I love this book! It’s practical, easy to read, and just full of amazing tips for being a better entrepreneur and  impact maker.
With that all excitement aside one of the main reasons I wanted to have Marty on the show is that he is so incredible at teaching people how to sell. It’s not a skill that comes easy for most of us. And in order to make impact we need to be able to sell our mission, partnerships and projects. But selling can get a bad rap and often as impact makers we become so immersed in our cause we can forget or not pay enough attention to the art of selling. Let’s demystify it. Get ready to grow your sales and your skills from a heart centred really cool guy named Marty Park. Take lots of notes!
