    Empathy, connection, and authenticity helps you to lead more effectively, build stronger relationships, and create a thriving workplace. Jennifer shows you that when you embrace your humanity, you unlock your team’s full potential.

    In this powerful episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Jennifer Nash, the author of Be Human, Lead Human, to dive into what it means to lead with humanity in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing workplace. Jennifer, who is the founder and CEO of Jennifer Nash Coaching and Consulting, shares how you can elevate your leadership beyond traditional methods and embrace a more human-centered approach to leadership. She reveals why being human—not just managing tasks—is the real key to unlocking both personal and professional success.

    Jennifer and I explore the key differences between old-school, command-and-control leadership style and a new, more evolved version of leadership that puts people first. The old model of leadership appeals to leaders who feel that leading means that they have to have all the answers, make all the decisions, and dictate directions to their teams.

    Jennifer explains that the future leader is someone who doesn’t just manage people but coaches and facilitates them. She describes how this kind of leader enables team members to collaborate, share ideas, and reach common goals more effectively. A successful leader today is one who asks for help, makes others feel valued, and creates a safe space for people to express themselves and grow.

    Jennifer also shares her perspective on why leadership training is often delayed by an average of 15 years leading to ineffective management and frustrated employees. She explains why companies must equip leaders with the tools they need to succeed early on, focusing not just on technical skills but on emotional and relational skills that foster better teamwork and collaboration.

    Jennifer introduces her concept of the Human Leader Index, a unique tool that helps leaders assess their human and relational capabilities. The index provides leaders with a clear picture of where they stand and offers recommendations on areas for improvement. Jennifer emphasizes that true leadership is not just about hitting performance metrics or achieving KPIs—but about building a deeper connection with your team, making them feel heard, and helping them to succeed.

    Jennifer’s message is simple: being human in your leadership approach is the key to unlocking not only your own potential but the potential of everyone around you. She believes that when you as the leader focus on the whole person—recognizing your team's personal and professional dimensions—you create an environment where everyone feels empowered to succeed.

  • Ep #141: Mitchell Levy: The Most Effective Ways to Build Trust
    Oct 7 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    Unlock the secrets to becoming a trusted leader! Join Mitchell Levy as he shares powerful strategies to build your credibility and foster trust in your team and organization.

    In this episode, I welcome you to join me in exploring the vital connection between your personal purpose and professional success with Mitchell Levy, a Global Credibility Expert. Mitchell brings a wealth of experience in helping you build trust and credibility in your career. He shares how aligning your purpose with your work can lead to increased fulfillment, motivation, and overall happiness in your life. We’ll also explore why this all goes back to trust.

    Mitchell first defines what it means for you to live with purpose. He explains that many people go through life without a clear sense of direction or understanding of their true calling, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration in their careers. Drawing from his extensive research, he reveals startling statistics: a staggering 90% of people never discover their purpose, while 98% lack clarity on what it means for them. If you find yourself in this group, let this episode serve as a wake-up call if you feel lost or unfulfilled in your current role.

    Mitchell emphasizes the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership. He illustrates how a credible leader is genuinely connected to their values and beliefs, creating a sense of trust and respect.

    He provides strategies for discovering your true calling and integrating it into your work life. Mitchell shares his proprietary methodology, known as the CPOP (Customer Point of Possibilities), which guides you through reflecting on what excites you, who you want to serve, and how you can make a meaningful impact. Following his process will give you clarity on your passions so that you can leverage them in your professional life.

    Mitchell addresses the common challenges you may face when trying to bridge the gap between your personal and professional life. He cites an example where you might initially think it's difficult to pursue your passions, but if you view your job as the financial sponsor that allows you the freedom to explore your true interests outside of work, this shift in mindset can be transformative.

    Mitchell invites you to reflect on your own journey and consider what steps you can take to live more authentically in your career. He encourages ongoing self-discovery and embracing the changes that come with aligning your purpose with your professional life.

    Learn from Mitchell’s wealth of knowledge and experience. After listening, be sure to connect with him further! Explore his resources, book a clarity session, or dive into his insights on credibility by visiting his website at mitchellevy.com.

  • Ep #139: Lan Phan: How to Turn Your Big Obstacle Into Your Biggest Opportunity
    Sep 23 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    Lan Phan opens up about losing her dream job and turning that obstacle into her biggest opportunity. Learn how she turned her fear into purpose, found her true calling, and how you can follow her blueprint to change your own life for the better!

    In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I welcome Lan Phan, the author of "Do This Daily" and CEO of Community of Seven. Lan shares how she built a new, meaningful life after experiencing a career setback in a thriving corporate career that left her questioning everything. Rising fast on the executive track, Lan was recruited by Fortune Magazine to build a startup within the company. Just as she was beginning to bring her vision to life, the pandemic hit. In an instant, everything changed. Lan got laid off, suddenly was grappling with fear and uncertainty, and forced to let go of the team she just started to build. What followed was a period of soul-searching and deep self-reflection that ultimately led her to a profound shift in perspective.

    Lan opens up about the emotional turmoil she experienced during this time. She describes how she struggled with feelings of loss, depression, and fear as she questioned her self-worth. A pivotal moment came when her young daughter, with simple yet powerful words, reminded her that her identity was not tied to a job title.

    With honesty and vulnerability, Lan shares how she began to reframe her mindset, focusing not on what she had lost but on how she could serve others. This shift in focus became the foundation for her new path. She founded Community of Seven, initially starting as a support group for her former team members, which has since grown into a global brand dedicated to democratizing training and development for all.

    Lan walks us through the concept of Ikigai, a Japanese term meaning "reason for being," which is at the core of her personal and professional transformation. She explains how finding the balance between what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for is essential to leading a fulfilled life.

    Lan provides powerful insights into how to navigate the balance between spirituality and strategy. She stresses that it’s not just about finding your passion, but also about taking intentional action to live it. Lan emphasizes the need for a mindset shift to overcome fear and self-doubt. She discusses the importance of daily habits and how small actions can lead to transformative changes over time. Her book, "Do This Daily," is designed to help people not just identify their purpose, but also live it through simple, practical steps that can be incorporated into everyday life.

    Through her story, Lan teaches that life doesn’t necessarily get easier, but we become stronger. She emphasizes that negative emotions should not be feared, but rather seen as guideposts, guiding us through a tunnel toward the light on the other side.

    Tune in to hear Lan's powerful story and her tips

    Sep 16 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    In this episode, Glenn Moore uncovers what works in marketing, what stopped working, and how to stretch every marketing dollar to the max. Discover actionable strategies to maximize your marketing budget and drive real growth for your business this year.

    Today, I’m joined by Glenn Moore, CEO of Bear Fox Marketing, who has 25 years of experience helping small to mid-sized businesses navigate the complex world of marketing. Glenn brings a wealth of knowledge and practical tips to help you optimize your marketing strategy in a way that delivers real results.

    In this episode, Glenn talks about the tactics that still work and why some older strategies no longer bring the same returns. If you’ve been frustrated by wasted marketing dollars with little to show for it, Glenn’s insights will help you adapt and get back on track.

    A key takeaway from our conversation is how to make every marketing dollar count. Glenn shares smart strategies for getting the most out of your budget, focusing on high-impact channels like SEO, content marketing, and email marketing. He highlights the importance of spending wisely to drive real growth, especially for businesses with limited resources.

    Glenn also explains why SEO and content marketing remain two of the best tools for reaching your target audience and improving search engine rankings. We explore how to avoid common mistakes, like competing for overly broad keywords, and how to use free tools like Google My Business to strengthen your online presence.

    With the explosion of AI and tools like ChatGPT, the digital space is packed with content. Glenn discusses how this affects small businesses and what you can do to stand out. He emphasizes building trust and authority through content that showcases your expertise and appeals to a specific niche.

    One of Glenn’s key points is understanding your customers’ needs. He shares examples of businesses that have successfully tailored their products and services to meet customer feedback, resulting in significant revenue growth.

    Beyond the marketing strategies, Glenn talks about the importance of mindset and company culture in driving long-term success. At Bear Fox Marketing, they foster a culture of learning and humility, encouraging employees to grow personally and professionally.

  • Ep #137: Shelly Niehaus: Practical Steps to Find Your First 20 Clients
    Sep 9 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    Shelly breaks down practical, easy-to-follow steps to help you find your first 20 clients. Learn how to simplify your marketing, connect authentically with potential clients, and build a strong foundation for your business!

    In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I speak with Shelly Niehaus, published author, speaker and the host of the top-rated EDUCATED EMPOWERED INSPIRED podcast. Shelly shares how to break free from the complexities and crazy making ideas of traditional marketing strategies and instead embrace a simpler, more intuitive approach to connecting with your audience. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by the endless advice of buying-one-more-thing in internet marketing and are ready to find a method that truly resonates with both you and your clients, this conversation is for you.

    Shelly begins by addressing one of the most common challenges faced by entrepreneurs and business owners today: the tendency to overcomplicate marketing. With so many voices in the industry offering conflicting advice, it's easy to lose sight of what matters—building genuine connections with your audience.

    She breaks down how to eliminate the noise and focus on what truly matters—having authentic conversations with prospects about their real needs and challenges. By simplifying your approach and focusing on building genuine relationships, you can create content that not only connects but also invites your audience to engage with you on a deeper level. This, Shelly argues, is the key to attracting your first 20 clients and beyond.

    One of the central themes of our discussion is the importance of aligning your inner compass with your business strategy. Shelly explains in simple terms how your internal state—your faith, spirituality, and overall mindset—directly impacts how you show up for your clients and the opportunities that come your way.

    Shelly explores the concept of “meeting yourself where you are” in your spiritual development. She shares that it’s not about adhering to a rigid set of beliefs or trying to outdo others in spirituality. Rather, it’s about finding a connection to something greater than yourself—a source, energy, or belief system that guides you in your personal and professional life.

    Shelly also touches on the importance of giving yourself grace and the freedom to explore different ways of connecting with your inner self. She encourages listeners to break free from the confines of how they were taught to connect spiritually and instead find what truly resonates with you.

    To dive deeper into Shelly's approach and learn more about her work, be sure to check out her podcast, the Educated Empowered Inspired Podcast, where she continues to share her wisdom on personal and professional growth.

  • Ep #136: Daniel Den: How to Find Your X Factor
    Sep 2 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    Discover the 7 Marketing Strategies that make you uncopyable, actionable tips from Daniel Den to discover your X factor and make your business stand out and be unforgettable to your customers.

    In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I talk to marketing strategist Daniel Den, co-creator of the X Factor Effect and author of Ideas That Influence. Daniel’s story is not just one of success but of resilience, innovation, but his mission - the pursuit of creating something uncopyable. He shares a candid recount of his early triumph in 2009 when he hit the jackpot with a website that was raking in $1,000 a day, setting him on the path to early retirement—or so he thought. But just as quickly as his success soared, it was nearly dismantled by a flood of copycat competitors who ripped off his winning formula. This painful experience led Daniel to a pivotal realization: to survive and thrive in the business world, you must differentiate yourself to the point where you become uncopyable.

    Daniel’s journey didn’t end with his website being copied. Instead, it ignited a fire in him to explore the art of differentiation at a much deeper level. Over the past 12 years, he has honed his craft, helping over 20,000 students and clients across various industries carve out a niche that is entirely their own. Through his X Factor Effect methodology, Daniel has guided businesses in becoming market leaders, or as he likes to call them, "category kings and queens."

    One of the core themes of our conversation is the idea of being deliberately different. Daniel argues that every successful brand has an X factor—something that sets it apart and makes it memorable. He breaks down the process of identifying and cultivating this X factor, emphasizing that it’s not just about being creative; it’s about being strategically creative. He shares examples from his book, *Ideas That Influence,* like the story of Listerine’s genius marketing move in the early 1900s when they owned the word "halitosis" and became synonymous with curing bad breath.

    A significant portion of our conversation also dives into the emotional and spiritual aspects of branding. Daniel and I explore how authentic storytelling, rooted in vulnerability and genuine purpose, can elevate a brand from simply selling a product to making a meaningful connection with customers.

    Daniel talks about how spiritual alignment and emotional authenticity are not just buzzwords, but essential components of a brand that stands out. We discuss how brands that tap into a deeper purpose and resonate on an emotional level with their audience are the ones that leave a lasting legacy.

    I invite you to dive deeper into Daniel Den’s world by visiting his website and checking out his book, Ideas That Influence. And if you found this episode valuable, please share it with your network. Let’s spread the word and help more people discover the power of the X Factor Effect.

  • Ep #135: Meredith Bell: Learn How to Develop a Strong Character
    Aug 26 2024

    Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:

    Unlock the secrets to building strong character and mastering communication skills with Meredith Bell. Lead in your personal and professional relationships with these insights!

    In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Meredith Bell, co-founder of Grow Strong Leaders, to explore the profound impact of character and communication on personal and professional development. Meredith's commitment to fostering strong leadership skills show as we explore essential aspects of growth and self-awareness.

    Meredith shares her morning rituals to set the tone for her day. She emphasizes the importance of declarations, powerful affirmations that guide her mindset and actions. One of her key declarations is, “Every person is worthy of my love and not one person is worthy of my judgment.” This simple statement serves as her compass, helping Meredith recalibrate her reactions and approach interactions with empathy and understanding, even in moments of irritation or frustration.

    We discuss the significance of approaching interactions from a place of love rather than judgment. Meredith explains how this mindset shift can prevent us from jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about others’ behaviors.

    Meredith introduces the beautiful concept of “standing in receivership,” a practice of being open to new ideas and intuitive nudges from the universe. This openness, she explains, is a critical aspect of personal growth and self-awareness. By listening to these subtle signals, we can navigate our paths with greater clarity and purpose. Meredith’s insights encourage us to balance rational thinking with intuitive wisdom, embracing both as essential components of our decision-making processes.

    Open-mindedness, as Meredith highlights, is a vital character strength that invites growth and learning. Being open to new ideas and perspectives allows us to elevate ourselves and those around us. This willingness to learn and adapt is a continuous journey, one that enhances our ability to lead with integrity and authenticity.

    Meredith's work at Grow Strong Leaders offers practical tools and resources for developing these essential skills. Their 360 assessments, Skill Builder programs, and insightful books provide actionable strategies for enhancing communication and character. Meredith’s podcast, Grow Strong Leaders, features interviews with thought leaders and experts in leadership, offering valuable perspectives on creating workplaces where people thrive.

    To learn more about Meredith Bell’s work and explore her tools for character and communication development, visit GrowStrongLeaders.com.

    I invite you to share this episode with someone who would benefit from our discussion on character, communication, and integrity. Your support helps us reach more people and create a greater impact.
