We are a demand design consultancy and we help businesses design growth.
Through branding perspective or messaging, we help clients with tactics like websites and different marketing channels that help their businesses to thrive.
One big thing that all of our most successful clients have in common is their ability to listen and take on and try new things.
We only want to work with companies that we can help to demonstrate the ROI, because we're not in the business of just making things pretty.
Data is important, and is not just necessarily looking at spreadsheets and analytics data, but qualitative as well.
We came up with this framework that we call the Four Green Lights, which are team satisfaction, customer satisfaction, driving business impact and profit.
Since we're in the people business, the talent that we're able to attract and retain is ultimately what enables us to do the best work for our clients.
I really believe that a lot of companies don't measure success the right way.
One of the first things we do when we come in is we understand how you know when you're successful.
If you're not clear with your organization about what you stand for, and what you're trying to deliver against, it's really easy to have competing commitments.
Commercial Break
The first thing that I always like to make sure that the leadership of my clients understand is what makes them different, and what makes them better.
When the leadership can say what makes them different and better, and then their customers say the same thing, then the overlap of that Venn diagram is where the magic happens.
The greatest way to do that is to understand how to tell your story.
Marketing and branding isn't magic, but a great brand is magnetic.

Shake It Off Leadership-Achieving Success Through the Eyes of our Labels
Miss Crabapple and Her Magical Violin
A lot of times when we're working with people and with companies to identify talent, we interview people in a way that's helping them bring out the best in them.
We're all taking a deeper dive into what work looks like, and discovering that we can do business differently.
There are ways that people can ask the probing questions that may not put somebody on the defensive.
It takes confidence to ask questions because if you have someone that's afraid, no matter what the venue is, they're still going to be afraid to ask some questions.
With the way the workplace is, we have to take some more risks as leaders.
It takes years and a lot of work to develop a great company culture.
It is important to handle problems as they arise otherwise they will explode.
Commercial break
There needed to be more books written by women on leadership on the shelves, whatever shelf it is.
If this world is going to change, we have to give the up and coming generations the roadmap.
The world is setting itself up where the younger generations are actually at the forefront making change.
By writing this book, I wanted to share my journey and let people learn from my mistakes.
I also wanted to teach people that when they are looking for their coaches or mentors, not everyone's a good fit.
From the very beginning of my professional life, I had amazing men and women who guided me to my success.
With Covid-19 pandemic, there was an increased level of focus again with being remote and it expanded a lot of possibilities for us.
Sometimes something tragic can shake us all up and shock our potential to see what we're capable of.
Miss Crab Apples came out of a Saturday night story to my granddaughter when she was six years old.
I love to write for children because when you do that you just get to be in that incredible imagination game which is a great place to be.
By putting more books like that out there, our grandkids get to have a chance to see what a good conversation is.
Shake it off, be good to yourself, pat yourself on the back, and never ever give up.

Monday Jul 18, 2022
“The spoken word is wonderful, but the written word just has the staying power that is hard to beat.” Cathy Fyock
Do you have a gut feeling that you should write a book but do not know where to begin?
Whatever reasons you may have to want to write a book, it is important that you get to do it right as it could be life changing not only to you, but to your audience as well. According to our guest today, Cathy Fyock, anyone can learn to write a book, and is one way in which people can use to leave a mark in their respective spaces.

I’m a big believer in the power of a book.
Writing a book is hard and a lot of work because it means distilling all of your thought leadership into something that's cohesive, focused and really sharp.
When I started as an HR consultant, speaker and trainer, I wrote to establish my thought leadership and differentiate myself from the pack to grow my business.
A book can absolutely move you into new territory, help you claim your thought leadership in an area that you hadn't been able to claim before.
I have a group coaching component which gives people writing exercises, the camaraderie and community.
I also have a one on one coaching program that goes for six months which guides folks through the process of writing.
I also have writing retreats, which is a great way for super busy people to have dedicated writing time, and has community elements, direction and guidance.
Commercial break
I've learned is that there are going to be people out there who all they need is the book, but there are others who will need extra level of guidance after reading my book.
I work with the people that need to work with me, and then the rest can find the secret sauce in my book.
I believe that the process of writing actually changes you and that you become a different person where you step into more of who you were meant to be.
As a book coach I don't just write books randomly and just hope that they do something for the business, I always have to be very strategic.
I use my work book now with my new coaching clients, and has therefore become an integral part of my business.
The spoken word is wonderful, but the written word just has the staying power that is hard to beat.
Go out there and make your mark, I really believe that you will make your mark when you write your book.

Book: Brand Chemistry: How to Attract the Right Clients and Keep Them
I created Lab Creative and reinvented myself with this new business where I stepped into a new version of myself.
I allow people to see their magic and create chemistry with their audience as well as create a business and brand that aligns with them.
My mission is to create a world filled with ambitious, fulfilled, prosperous and happy entrepreneurs.
I help my clients to step into their genius by leveraging my magic to find their magic and then bring it to the world so everyone can see it.
When working with my clients at brand camp, we do the deep work first that entails thinking, and then we design.
I often tell my clients that I'm designing and creating a brand for their business for the future.
Brand camp is my methodology, and is the process I take all of our clients through before we design anything.
It is really about all of the messaging and really understanding how your brand show up in the world, and how you are going to distinguish yourself from everybody else in your space.
I've combined my background and design with these newer skills, which I had to embrace and step into.
Commercial break
My book is based on brand camp, and it walks you through the entire process of creating your brand.
I wrote the book because I knew that I could only help us a certain amount of people through working with me one on one.
I saw my book to be a great way to elevate my personal brand, bring more business into my business, and to get me more speaking engagements.
For me getting really clear on why I was writing a book made me find my unique factor which was having a design background.
When you get to fully step into who you are, and get crystal clear on that, the right people will be drawn to you like a magnet, and that's what brand chemistry is all about.

30 Second Success - Laura Templeton
Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
“When you pour into other people without expectation, things just come back to you so much easier.” Laura Templeton
How can leaders create and maintain lasting and genuine relationships?
Effective communication is crucial when networking and passing information. The ability to explain and clarify important information should be nurtured by all leaders who aspire to make these connections. Laura Templeton has been working with leaders and notes that it is important to be present and engaging when networking.
Laura Templeton is the Founder and Chief Instigator at 30 Second Success, a company helping coaches, consultants, and service providers make better connections and obtain more business in 30 seconds or less.
As a Global Speaker, Author of 30 Second Success: Ditch the pitch and start connecting! and Brand Communications Consultant, Laura educates in-person and virtual audiences on value-based communications that take your creativity to the next level and help you step into owning and sharing your brilliance with confidence.
An enthusiast for the written word, Laura is currently working on the next book in the 30 Second Success series. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring her new home state of Florida, spending time with family, friends, and Knox (her co-working dog), and teaching Archery to anyone interested in learning.

Book: 30 Second Success: Ditch the pitch and start connecting!
I launched 30 Second Success business about seven years ago.
I teach people a simple formula that that I use for myself on how to do the 30 second message.
There's a lot of work that goes into the deep understanding of what it is that you're meant to do and who you're meant to connect with, and figure out how to put that into 30 Seconds or Less.
The value comes in from helping people just figure out how they can live into what they're designed to do and really understand it.
When we start positioning ourselves well as taking care of other people, we start serving other people, and it's not about what we get out of the relationship but rather what we give into the relationship.
When you pour into other people without expectation, things just come back to you so much easier.
You have to be willing to accept that you're not always the solution, and know that there's an opportunity for you to listen.
Commercial break
I do believe that there's always the right time for someone to finally sit down and write a book, and I did.
The real value in my book is not just how to write your message, but how to create connections and networking as part of your marketing strategy.
Networking is one of the most beautiful relationship models I've ever seen in my life.
The book is designed to help people understand how to become a more effective networkers and get out of their own way, and how that will then transform their business.
The benefit of virtual has really changed in the way that it also has given me access to a global community.
My advice to people of the millennial generation is to align themselves with someone who has more experience in networking and is willing to take you under their wing.
A lot of young people really have a hard time connecting with the people that they need to help them grow their businesses.
There is value in being present and engaged with someone, and having that intention of really listening and asking them to go a little bit deeper with their answers to your questions.
Believe in your ability to create the change you want to see in this world.

Soul Language - Lisa Dadd
Monday Jul 11, 2022
Monday Jul 11, 2022
“Your soul language may be very different from all those people telling you that you have to find success in a certain way.“ Lisa Dadd
How can leaders connect with their innermost self and manifest it in their daily interactions?
For years, people have been searching for ways and tools that can help them find out who they really are, and their life’s purpose. Lisa Dadd has been working with leaders to help them tap into their natural gifts, talents and abilities, through expanding their awareness and helping them understand their soul languages.
Lisa Dadd spent 15 years in the competitive industry of corporate healthcare, mastering strategic sales, marketing and management skills, from one of the world’s largest healthcare companies. In addition to the success, climbing the corporate ladder offered, was a deep sense her greatest potential was yet to be realized. With nearly a decade of independent consulting, an intense training in leadership development and facilitation of social emotional learning programs, Lisa has uncovered an innate way to access that potential.
Leveraging a diagnostic tool called Soul Language, Lisa now works with innovative leaders to integrate an awareness of who they are at their core, into the way they do business. The success of her process is particularly related to her unique approach to sales training. She believes that selling is a critical communication skill for all of us to have, because whether we are selling a product, a service, or an idea, we all need to create buy-in. Soul Sales teaches the art of creating buy-in, through the enrolling language of one’s innate energy.
In today’s episode, Lisa talks about how she uses the Soul Language as a tool to help people connect to themselves and others. She also talks about her book and why she decided to write it.

Book: Finding Fabulous: Paving the Path Between Paycheck and Passion
Transforming from corporate to business made me realize that I needed to redefine success for myself and what that looked like.
I work with business owners and leaders in their own soul language and put that filter on the way they do business.
Sometimes the thing that is our super strength and brings us joy, may also be our kryptonite that takes energy out of us.
Put your own unique filter on things because everything either works or fails, but the question is whether it aligns with who you are.
When I came across the soul language tool, we started diving into what that was, and how we could use it.
I use it to determine how to bring personal growth and business together in a successful way.
Commercial break
I always had this niggling in the back of my mind that I would write a book one day.
I started interviewing people because I wanted to hear from everyday ordinary people.
There were a lot of commonalities even though everybody followed their own way.
I realized that the summary of it all was that actually most people love, especially initially, what they're doing and what they're involved in until the environment changes unfavorably.
Sometimes it takes a bit of work to get your foundation under you as an entrepreneur.
Anyone who tells you they're an entrepreneur and they've never failed is not really one.
Entrepreneurs are willing to live a short time the way no one else will, so that they can live the rest of their lives the way no one else can.
Your soul language may be very different from all those people telling you that you have to find success in a certain way.
My book brought me on my path to create my business, which now pays me.
For most people, they’re never going to make a million dollars selling their books, but it can help with the journey towards the million dollars by helping you get very clear about you're trying to accomplish.
Life is speaking to us each and every day, the question is whether we're slowing down to listen to it.

Friday Jul 08, 2022
Friday Jul 08, 2022
“Do not give up the gains of the past, but rather bring them forward into the future.” Nick Jankel
How can leaders embrace the lessons of the past, as well as inspire positive change for the future in their businesses and communities?
Considering the pace at which the word continues to evolve, transformational leadership is no longer an option but a necessity, especially for organizations that want to thrive and remain sustainable. Nick Jankel works with leaders to help them take charge of their businesses and notes on the importance of learning self and having control of the body and mind.
Nick Jankel is a thought leader whose ideas, tools and research are designed to take the pain out of transformation. He also uses it to blast through the barriers that block creativity and innovation, and instead unleash conscious changes in leadership in ways that bring less suffering, and more thriving into the spaces we touch.
Nick is co-founder of Switch On. He's also the chief architect of a rigorous methodology and philosophy for transformation, the Switch On Way, which blends the latest neuroscience with timeless wisdom from great traditions. He's used the Switch On Way to lead organizations as diverse as Novartis and Nike, as well as operated himself in different roles as a coach and presenter.

Spiritual Atheist: A Quest to Unite Science and Wisdom into a Radical New Life Philosophy to Thrive in the Digital Age
Now Lead the Change: Repurpose Your Career, Future-Proof Your Organization and Regenerate Our Crisis-Hit World By Mastering Transformational Leadership
Become a Transformational Organization: Galvanize Agility Without Losing Stability to Survive and Thrive in the Digital Disrupted and Damaged World
Switch On: Unleash Your Creativity and Thrive with the New Science and Spirit of Breakthrough.
My core business is called switch on, and we do innovation, leadership, coaching and some systemic change and architecture.
We also have Future makers which is a sustainability consultancy and we work with large organizations that want to be net positive.
I ran innovation training for clients which is basically creative leadership work, and that pulled me into leadership and coaching.
The entire leadership movement of the last 20 years is really a response to management technologies, which were all about control and efficiency.
The world is never going to be stable, consistent and clear and organizations need to figure out what they need to do to make sure they remain relevant.
Sales is actually where emotional intelligence lives most acutely in an organization, and so there's a lot from that world that is at the core of leadership.
What we do is called transformational leadership, which is the ability to cause lasting positive change.
I'm trying to get leaders to find a path for themselves and their organization by embracing all that makes a person human.
The dilemma therefore is how to create full spectrum workplaces where we allow people to be humans, with all their flaws and fragilities and all their potential power, and still have boundaries.
Great leaders are working out that for themselves because you can't help others if you haven't helped yourself.
We generally haven't been taught how to do boundaries, but we need to learn to create them.
The mind and body is the most complex organizing system in the universe and people should spend time mastering it.

It seemed crazy that I would be talking about transformational leadership, and I hadn’t actually got a book about transformation.
The book looks at your own leadership, purpose, and resilience. It then looks at leading your organization, and how well you hold on your organization.
I use this book to do two things, communicate my take on transformational leadership, and also put across the seven principles of transformation.
The book is not meant to solve all the problems, but it's creates a map of the problems and where you might go for specifics within that.
Do not give up the gains of the past, but rather bring them forward into the future.

I worked at the Four Seasons Resort in north Scottsdale where I learned an awful lot about customer service, giving back and anticipating guests needs.
After my MBA I took a full time job at one of the nation's largest healthcare systems as the director of talent sourcing.
I always wanted to do coaching, and in February 2011, I launched my coaching practice as it is now.
I am an executive coach and I do offer team trainings, I speak publicly and serve as MC for events, and I also have online courses.
My life's mission is about how I can unlock potential and give other people hope.
I've helped a lot of folks define what their life's mission is, or define what their personal brand is, and then figure out ways that they can share them openly.
I've also really enjoyed helping people become coaches, which then creates an entire ecosystem inside of a company or organization for other coaches.
We're moving forward to a very different time in human history, where people are going to stand in their truths in ways that they never have before.
Our job as coaches and leaders is to help people believe in themselves in ways that they might not have before.
We are moving to a time where people are slowing down, and finding an objective framework on how to distribute their time into things they genuinely care about.

We have moved to what astrologist referred to as the Age of Aquarius.
Organizations that are upscaling their people are the ones that are going to have the most engaged and productive staff.
Now is the time to create those collaborative workspaces where people can truly express themselves in a more connected environment.
In March of 2020, I got this epiphany and I reached out to a writing coach that I had known.
The summer of 2020 was an enormously challenging emotional time for me, because I was confronting a lot of my own fears to tell some of the stories that I tell in the book.
I had to challenge myself and get really deep into my own heart and soul to tell the stories that I told but it has opened up doors that I would have never ever considered.
The more niche or specific that you are, the more depth oftentimes the help that you can provide is.
I encourage everybody watching or listening to take the time to really start to share yourself more openly, because you never know who you're going to uplift.
Be the person you needed to be when you were younger, and if you do that, you're going to find a tremendous meaning and joy in life.

RISE Hypnotic Meditation - Mary Welp
Friday May 20, 2022
Friday May 20, 2022
”The physical is exemplifying what's happening in the mental, and when we don't live from our soul’s purpose, it has an effect on our body both mentally and physically.” Mary Welp
If left uncontrolled, many of the unhelpful human states such as stress and anxiety can take over and become a source of pain. By enhancing mind-body control, people are able to exert more control over their thoughts and perceptions, thus improve the quality of life lived. This is according to Mary Welp, who also notes that such healing affects a whole generation and not only the individual.
Mary Welp is a certified hypnotherapist specializing in Hypnotic Meditation. After 20 years of private practice as a Craniosacral therapist and 14 years as a certified hypnotherapist, she launched RISE Hypnotic Meditation to teach others how to bring meaningful, positive changes to their lives. She teaches a direct, easy, adaptable practice in 4 steps: Relax, Imagine, Suggest, and Empower.
Mary helps those who are interested in self-improvement or anyone would like to get rid of a bad habit, fear, or imprint. She works within the following areas but not limited to: boundaries, social anxiety, sports performance, self-confidence, fear of rejection, optimism, procrastination, letting go of anger, guilt, improving sleep, grief and loss, and relationships. Her practice allows anyone to turn their attention inward to make a shift for the better in order to become a healthier, happier person.
Since the pandemic, Mary has shifted her practice from one-on-one sessions to teaching. She now travels and teaches a three-hour workshop across the country which she likes to refer to as a marriage of meditation and self-hypnosis. Her mission is to spread this self-healing therapy to as many people as possible.
Mary loves being a grandmother and lives in Louisville, Kentucky with her husband Jim. Aside from publishing her first book, RISE, Mary has also co-authored the book “The Ultimate Guide to Self-Healing Vol 5”, currently #1 on Amazon in Spirituality, Journaling, Holistic Medicine and Mind-Body connection.
In today’s episode, Mary talks about how she uses hypnotic meditation to help her clients improve themselves and live a life of purpose.

I've been doing private practice for a long time, and I started with bodywork then later got my hypnotherapy license and I started marrying the two therapies together.
For the last year and three months, I've been traveling and teaching RISE as a three-hour workshop, teaching the steps and talking about why and how it works.
I realized the diversity and definitiveness of self-hypnosis, and it does shift and change things giving your subconscious the opportunity to reprogram a little bit.
As we grow, learn and we change, we get to have a more stable emotional, grounding way of life.
A lot of people get stuck and get themselves in a hole, because of what life expects of us which normally isn't who we are.
The physical is exemplifying what's happening in the mental, and when we don't live from our soul’s purpose, it has an effect mentally and physically on our body.
It's really about giving us the opportunity to live our highest goals and dreams.
We have this opportunity to, not just have meaningful lives for ourselves, but also for those that follow us.
When we do effect change in ourselves, it definitely has a ripple effect.
Commercial Break
I've written the rise hypnotic meditation book so that people can pick it up, read it, and know and how and why it works.
When we're given that opportunity to sit and look at ourselves and our part in it, that opens up the door for change.
When we have that intention to identify something that we need to change in ourselves, it shifts it.
Tension is who you think you should be, and relaxation is who you are.
If you scan your body now and then and connect with where you feel tension in your body, and breathe into that, you're going to be more authentically yourself.

I learnt to take people down the path of relaxation from seeing so many clients one to one.
The first thing you do in hypnotherapy setting is to build rapport, which makes people feel comfortable, and therefore respond to the hypnosis much better.
I use affirmations which I deliver at a certain point in the recording, and also use sound frequencies to make the recordings enjoyable to listen to, and experiential.
I've made the recordings over a 20-year period and they've changed over time, and now I generalize the recordings and make them work for the majority.
There are times I've re-recorded an old recording, and then people write in and ask for the original because they feel connected with it.
When I make recordings, I totally believe in what I'm saying and what I'm delivering.
You just have to be right for this job, because if you're in the right place, you get that ability to be able to help others.
I saw a stage hypnotist doing his thing and I saw something in it in that moment, and that's what sparked my interest then went off and learned the therapeutic side.
I never intentionally started to make recordings for any kind of business plan. I did it for a client who asked me for a recorded session.
I started recording more tapes and sold them off to stores and it took off very quickly.
I was meditating and doing affirmations about being in the right place at the right time, and my unconscious mind my conscious mind, were working in perfect synergy.
I got a call from Nielsen book data and they said that I could have a gold disc for my title, because I had sold a quarter of a million pounds’ worth, and I got a gold disc.
I then realized I could use that as leverage promotional thing and I put that out there on all social media which led to BBC offering me a deal for all of my recordings.
All the time I was working on my unconscious to clear away any negative failure programming because without doing that, it would have been much harder and I wouldn't have got this far.

You can create this program inside you, that the external world responds to automatically.
If you take on board these affirmations and these beliefs on a deep level, the world responds to you and is incredible.
This life is an amazing opportunity to grow and heal our Karma and awaken, and naturally, looking inside and meditation is the way to find that.
A lot of my work is about helping people who are stuck, to move forward and work on themselves and go for the delayed gratification instead of the short term pleasure.
Look at the influences in your life and do not be afraid to cut ties when people are holding you back or lowering your energy.
Focus on creating your own safe place through a daily meditative practice and nurture yourself.
