    Bempathy – The 6 C’s of Overcoming Conflict

    The Third Side of the Coin: Unlocking “Bempathy” Communication is the foundation of every relationship—personal, professional, and everything in between. But what if the way we’ve been taught to communicate is only giving us part of the picture? In this episode of A New Direction, I interview the dynamic Jill Robin Payne, as we dive deep into the revolutionary ideas in her new book, "Bempathy: Simplify Communication by Looking at the Third Side of the Coin." In a world that often divides us into black-or-white perspectives, Jill introduces a powerful concept that reshapes how we connect: Bempathy—a blend of banter and empathy that helps people communicate with clarity, compassion, and strength. You’ll learn how to stop getting lost in emotional overload, avoid communication traps, and start creating conversations that actually go somewhere. Jill and I explore the roots of conflict, how to navigate tough conversations, and why the “third side of the coin” using Bempathy might just be the missing link in our divided culture. Whether you're a leader, a parent, a partner, or just trying to be a better human—this episode will give you tools you can use right now. Don’t miss this chance to learn from one of the freshest voices in communication today. Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and get ready for a new perspective that could change how you talk—and listen—with Bempathy. Jill Robin Payne's book: "Bempathy: Simplify Communication by Looking at the Third Side of the Coin" may be a short fun read, but it is full of wisdom and practical tools to help you and I work through conflict. Bempathy, which is made from the combination of "banter" and "empathy" takes a unique approach by introducing us to 3 cartoon like characters who have a dilemma to work through. During the process, Jill takes through the 6 Key Elements to have Bempathy. She calls them the6C's: communication, commonality, connectedness, comfortability, control, and commitment. As she takes us through the short story, she then does a recap of the book to help us see how the 6 C's play themselves out and how we might use them in future conflict. Fun and enjoyable and part of a two book series, this book breaks down the conflict and how to overcome it, in a friendly non-threatening manner. Quick read...but a great one!

    4 Neurohacks to Overcome Fear and Live Courageously

    Overcome Fear and Live Courageously What if fear wasn't something to conquer—but something to work with? In this episode of A New Direction we go deep into the science of fear, courage, and personal transformation with Dr. Mary Poffenroth, author of the groundbreaking book "Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day." Whether you're stuck in a rut, chasing a dream, or just trying to move forward in uncertain times, this conversation is for YOU. Dr. Poffenroth isn’t just an expert in fear science—she’s a fearless guide helping people navigate the chaos of life with tools rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and practical action. In this episode, she’ll share powerful insights into why we freeze, procrastinate, or self-sabotage—and how to hack those patterns for lasting courage. Expect real talk, eye-opening research, and stories that will make you rethink what it means to be brave. Join me, Coach Jay, as I bring energy, curiosity, and sharp questions that drive the kind of conversations that stick with you long after the show ends. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, student, or simply human, this live episode will leave you feeling energized and equipped to take bolder steps in your own life. So get ready to challenge your limits, rewire your mindset, and discover a braver version of yourself. This is more than a podcast—it’s a push toward the life you’ve been waiting to claim. Dr. Poffenroth's book, "Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day" is one of the most insightful books on fear and living courageously I have read. The book looks at both the biological view of fear and courage as well as the psychological aspects as well. Dr. Poffenroth gives us a friendly overview of our brain and some of the structures that contribute to our fear. She deals with the social influences, and the individual and historical influences that contribute to living with and dealing with fear. The best part of Brave New You is how she helps live more bravely and courageously.  Will it take effort on our part...absolutely.  Is it going to be a journey...of course. But as Dr. Poffenroth describes, we all have the capability of living a life of courage. Rather than running from fear, we can live with it, we can move through life courageously.  We can become more adept at the skills necessary to live a life without fearing fear. Her RAIN method is brilliant!  It is elegantly simple, and if you will practice it, the results will show. Great book, get yourself a copy Brave New You by clicking here.

    Spiritually Intelligent Leadership – 7 Proven Science Dimensions

    Be an Inspired Leader through the Science of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership What if your greatest leadership tool isn’t strategy, but spirit? This week on A New Direction, we sit down with Dr. Yosi Amram, a pioneering psychologist, executive coach, and author of the groundbreaking new book Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired. Dr. Amram invites us to rethink what it means to lead—not just with intelligence or emotional insight, but with spiritual depth and purpose. Whether you're in the boardroom or on the front lines, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about influence, connection, and inspiration. Based on decades of research and real-world coaching, Dr. Amram’s book outlines the Seven Pillars of Spiritual Intelligence, including Purpose, Presence, Compassion, Integrity, and more—core qualities that empower leaders to connect more deeply with themselves and others. Far from being religious or abstract, Dr. Amram defines spirituality in an accessible and universal way, making this a must-listen for anyone craving more meaning and authenticity in their leadership journey. In this episode of A New Direction, Dr. Amram shares stories of transformation from top CEOs, as well as practical tools to awaken your own spiritual intelligence. He'll reveal how true inspiration comes not from charisma or command, but from alignment with a greater sense of purpose and service. If you're feeling burnt out or uninspired in your leadership role, this conversation is your invitation to find renewal and clarity. Don't miss this rare opportunity to explore the intersection of leadership and spirit with one of the leading thinkers in the field. Tune in and discover how to lead from within—and inspire others to do the same. Dr. Amram's book: "Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired", is a tremendously insightful book on a subject matter that until his research lacked scientific rigor. Spiritually Intelligent Leadership is not a religious book.  It's not a doctrine.  It is a book that emphasizes through science that there is a spiritual element to our leadership.  In fact, accounts for more facets of leadership than emotional intelligence. I know the idea of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership feels odd to many if not most people. But Dr. Amram had broken it down into 7 dimensions and 25 behavior characteristics that get to the heart of how to apply Spiritually Intelligent Leadership to not just your life, but your business. The book will make you think and rethink your view on leadership.  And if you have an open mindset, it will allow you to realize that there is more to leadership than simply the physical, mental, and emotional aspects. It will help you see we all need a dose of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership.

    Slow Living: 5 Steps to Living on Purpose

    Slow Living Doesn't Mean Nothing Gets Done Are you feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending hustle? Do you crave a slower, more intentional way of living? Then you cannot miss this episode of A New Direction! I’m sitting down with best-selling author Stephanie O'Dea to talk about her latest book, Slow Living: Cultivating a Life of Purpose in a Hustle-Driven World. Stephanie has mastered the art of slowing down without falling behind, and she’s sharing exactly how we can do the same. We’ll dive into the myths of productivity, how goals do not help you find your purpose, the power of mindful choices, and her 5 practical steps to create a life that truly aligns with what matters most. If you’ve ever felt like you’re racing through life without actually living it, this conversation is for you. Don't think that Slow Living means not getting things done.  Slow living simply means finding ways to remove the clutter, focus on the right things, eliminate the minutia, and bring harmony back to your life. Stephanie O'Dea's book: Slow Living: Cultivating a Life of Purpose in a Hustle-Driven World is an outstanding and slightly unsettling read.  Why do I say "unsettling", because it runs counterintuitively how we are told to live. In a world where we are so focused on outcomes, Stephanie helps to focus on the journey, live a life of peaceful living in the chaos, and yet gives us practical actionable steps that helps us achieve our dreams. She doesn't simply give us a philosophy or theory of living, but has a process from our health, to our finances, to our relationships of how we can live life not overwhelmed but in control. She loves her acronyms!  And one of the best in Slow Living is PROM...Purge, Remove, Organize, Maintain.  It doesn't simply apply to the clutter of your home, but can be applied to our relationships, finances and more. I found Slow Living challenging.  But I also found it refreshing.  If you have an open mindset, this book will help you succeed.  And her formula for doing such looks like this: MINDSET + ACTION + CONSISTENCY = SUCCESS.  And to get there you need to be SLOW...Simply Only Look Within. Great book! Take the advice.  Do the steps. It's well worth the journey to living a life on purpose.  Purchase Slow Living by clicking here!

    The Empowering CEO: Staying Cool Under Pressure

    Times Have Changed for CEO's...Get Switched On! In high-pressure moments, are you truly in control of your decisions, or is your brain just reacting? The truth is, when stress kicks in, most of us default to old patterns stored in the back of our brains—patterns that often lead to bad choices. That’s why Steven R. Falk, author of The Switched On CEO, is joining A New Direction to reveal how leaders can retrain their brains to think strategically—even in the heat of the moment. We like to believe we’re rational decision-makers, but when the stakes are high, our survival instincts take over. Falk’s Switchback System is designed to help leaders recognize when they’re slipping into reactive thinking and switch back to the rational, problem-solving part of the brain. If you’re leading a business, a team, or even just your own career, mastering this skill is a game-changer. Great leaders don’t just survive under pressure—they thrive because they know how to take control of their own minds. Falk will share how the best CEOs, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers override fear-based thinking, break free from unproductive mental loops, and make smarter choices—no matter the circumstances. If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated by the way you react in high-stress situations, you don’t want to miss this conversation. This isn’t just another leadership talk—it’s a chance to rewire the way you think, lead, and make decisions when it matters most. Invite your colleagues, and get ready to flip the switch on your leadership! Steven Falk's Book, "The Switched-On CEO: How to Think Like a World-Class Leader" is one of the most insightful looks at the psychology of the CEO you will find. The book is a rediscovery of who we are, not just as CEO's, but people.  How we are so easily triggered by past thoughts in the back of our brain that we lose control of ourselves and our decision-making processes. As soon as something happens in our life, or the wrong person says the wrong thing, the next thing you know, our rational/logical thinking front brain is taken over by escalating emotion and irrationality.  And hence, we become "predictably irrational". This book is a look at how our thinking betrays us.  How we can move those past negative memories that trigger us (which Steven Falk calls our "Xs"), move them into the front of our brain, deal with them and move on. The key to all of this...A growth mindset. We must have the willingness and firm belief that we can change! But not only us, but that others can change as well. Steven then adapts the Switchback process to the concept of TEAM. He digs into "The 3-Lane conversation" where he will even discuss how to deal with the difficult conversation that CEO's must have. The book is a "how-to" guide for anyone who wants to move themselves, their TEAM, and their entire company to a "world-class" level.  a href="https://www.amazon.com/Switched-CEO-Think-World-Class-Leader/dp/1775281302/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=AUTHOR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UBJUg0uLzyPwzhFeFZreUw.nb8gXnRz848nQE4gGWJlXGAVIRGsgN3WNYVAegw6dDc&sr="...
