    Tracking Triggers with John Ford: From Reactivity to Real Momentum

    What if the conflicts that stall your progress aren’t obstacles—but messages pointing you toward your next shift? In this episode of The Momentum Shift, host Eric Collier sits down with John Ford, workplace mediator, negotiation educator, and creator of The Empathy Set®.  John went from human-rights attorney in Namibia to mediating hundreds of workplace disputes and teaching negotiation at UC Law San Francisco. He’s the author of Peace at Work and the newly released Tracking Triggers: From Reactivity to Responsiveness.John shares how losing his father at three months old and a humiliating high-school “fight” he refused to join quietly shaped his life’s work. He reveals why most conflict resolution fails (we try to “stitch the wound” before cleaning it), how feelings-and-needs cards transform charged conversations, and the simple open-door policy mistake that turns well-meaning leaders into unintentional triangles. You’ll also hear: > The five conflict styles—and why “nice” avoiders can be the hardest people to work with > Why productive (task) conflict is essential and personality conflict is toxic > How consensus decision-making stops the “winners and losers” virus in teams > The real cost of unresolved workplace tension (far beyond legal fees) > Why John calls himself a peacemaker, not just a mediator—and the story of two colleagues who went from a police report to a hallway hug Connect with John Ford: www.johnford.com www.empathyset.com www.trackingtriggers.com john@johnford.com Whether you’re stuck in reactivity, leading a team, or simply ready to move past blame and fear, this conversation gives you practical tools and a powerful new way to track the triggers that keep you from the life (and relationships) you want.

    Anything Is Possible: Amy Wieczorek on Mindset, Presence & Real Momentum

    What happens when a classically trained actor with an MFA from the American Conservatory Theater trades the stage for the boardroom—and brings Eleanor Roosevelt along for the ride? This week on The Momentum Shift Podcast and Radio Show, C. Eric Collier (The Mayor of Motivation) sits down with Amy Weiczorek—aka “the Wiz”—for a powerful conversation about real momentum. Amy shares the pivotal moments that shifted her path: from Hollywood sets (Enterprise, Six Feet Under, NCIS: Los Angeles) and decades of bringing Eleanor Roosevelt to life on stage, to coaching executives at Meta, Microsoft, and Rolls-Royce. As a certified DreamBuilder Coach and associate with Butterfield Speaks, she reveals how the tools of the performing arts—presence, storytelling, and “acting as if”—help leaders master communication, quiet self-doubt, and create lasting influence. Together, Eric and Amy dig into: > What a true momentum shift feels like when you’re stuck and disconnected > The difference between being pushed by pain and pulled by what you love > Guarding the portal of your mind and choosing where your attention goes > Teaching your butterflies to fly in formation (yes, even the seasoned pros get nervous) > Soft skills that separate good leaders from great ones Navigating life’s big transitions—including the empty-nest chapter Plus, Amy drops some of Eleanor Roosevelt’s most powerful wisdom and offers practical ways to keep moving forward when the path feels uncertain.

    Executive Abundance: How Dr. Mitchell Levy Turns Clarity Into Momentum

    When momentum meets mastery, transformation follows — and in this episode, C. Eric Collier sits down with Silicon Valley powerhouse Dr. Mitchell Levy for a conversation that will challenge how leaders think, act, and rise.
