    Focus and Clarity with Rochelle Finlay

    In this episode, we are joined by Rochelle Finlay, a research and innovation management consultant who credits Influential U with helping her focus her offer in the marketplace, resulting in her business reaching new levels of success.Before finding IU, she was one year into working for herself. Her business was going well, but her work-life balance wasn't great, her health was just OK, and there was a concern that consulting gigs could dry up. After working with Influential U, Rochelle has the framework and skills to achieve her short and long-term goals. What she's learned has also helped focus her consulting offer, and now she has greater clarity on the type of work she wants to accept and the type she'll gracefully decline.Join us for our weekly live streams at 2 pm pst every Wednesday.The Influential U Podcast is streamed live on our website, Facebook, Linkedin, and YouTube.

    The Judge Personality

    The Judge Personality

    In this episode, we'll introduce you to the Transactional Personality know as the Judge. The Judge excels in skepticism, guided by high standards, competence, and a thirst for evidence before taking action.Don't shy away from The Judge - embrace their wisdom as they can be your ultimate savior in times of peril. Learn to heed their suggestions, and you'll discover a guardian angel within this personality. However, be mindful of their Kryptonite – a tendency to pause transactions prematurely due to stringent standards and an inclination to overlook vision and repetition. Join us as we explore the dynamic nuances of The Judge and unlock the keys to harnessing their formidable strengths!To help us better understand the Judge personality, we have a special guest who has been on the podcast before and is a Judge personality himself, Jeff Miller. Jeff is a partner, financial advisor, and the CFO of Sound Financial Group. He helps his clients design, build, and live a good life by creating a pathway to financial understanding, security, and independence.

    The Producer Personality

    The Producer Personality

    The personality we at Influential U refer to as the Producer is skilled with alliances and requests. Their superpowers are the ability to be short-term and objective in their thinking and they are highly work-oriented doers. They're who you want on your team because they are action oriented and ready to get to work. Their kryptonite, however, is that they may tend to halt things with premature or unnecessary actions and may avoid or dismiss completion and flexibility.To learn more about this personality we invited a past guest of the podcast and student with Influential U, Tiran Jackson, who also happens to be a Producer Personality. Tiran is a professional speaker, author, engineer, life-coach, and a subject matter expert on resilience and helps his clients overcome their greatest adversities. You can learn more about him and the great things he’s doing by visiting RebornResilient.com. In this episode, Tiran will tell you about his worldview as a Producer Personality and share a deeper understanding of where this personality is an asset and where it may be a liability.The Influential U podcast is brought to you each week by Influential U's Self-guided program, "Thrive."If you want to be in the Olympics, you need to train in the same environments as other Olympic athletes.

Don't compete on cost: Compete on value

A very informative interview with two real world small business owners I learned some valuable lessons from Joe and Joni. This is my first Influence Ecology podcast and will I will definitely explore all of the podcast that are available now and anticipate eagerly future podcasts.

Stories cement the learning

As a student of Influence Ecology as well as a business owner I'm finding great benefit in hearing the stories of the guests. For me examples of how people implemented the study into their lives is infinitely valuable. Whether a student of Influence Ecology or not there are so many jewels amongst these episodes for those who aren't willing to settle for average and ordinary but strive for extraordinary - whatever that may look like. Look forward to more episodes, they are a great compliment to my study!
