Contributors Corner: Unlocking Your True Potential

Dr. Nik has developed an innovative movement to empower and transform leaders of every kind.
His coaching guides people through a process of reframing challenges, embracing new perspectives, and unlocking hidden solutions.
What if we all could see setbacks as opportunities? What if we saw every challenge as a gift, a path to growth and developing new abilities? What if we spent time in self-reflection every day to see things in their proper perspective?
Dr. Nik says that when we do these things, we can create a powerful new narrative that will pay dividends in all areas of our lives.

Winning the Game of Work in the Mortgage Biz with Julie Johnson

Sidekick Sessions: Understanding Respect at Work
Welcome to Sidekick Sessions, where we gather the team at WORKP2P for a deep dive on a topic. This month, we're talking about understanding respect at work.
Respect is one of the foundations of any good workplace, but just what does it mean to respect others on the job?
The reality, according to Dr. Julie Pham, CEO and founder of CuriosityBased, is that respect can mean very different things to different people. It's subjective, but the key is knowing how to communicate with our colleagues about it.
Dr. Pham's teachings gave our team a blueprint for understanding others, language to express our own feelings, and a collective hope that all of this can lead to a better workplace for everyone.
Let’s hear it for R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

The Power of Authenticity with Orlando Hampton
Orlando Hampton is the chief customer officer for Afiniti, a company that uses artificial intelligence to best match customers with customer service agents. Afiniti was an early adopter of AI, and Orlando became employee #3 in 2008.
His path to success is a fascinating story that began in Pittsburgh, where his mother fought to get him the best education possible.
Orlando’s career started in call centers, where he honed his communication skills and ability to lead others. As he proved himself, the promotions came until he had a corner office on Wall Street. That’s when he joined Afiniti.
“It’s clear Orlando’s secret to success isn’t a secret at all,” says BEATS WORKING host Mark Wright. “It’s Orlando being Orlando every step of the way.”
This episode is packed with lessons in life and business, but the biggest takeaway is the value and power that authenticity gives to those who embrace it.

Paying It Forward Through Work with Dr. Nhi Pham
When the U.S. Navy rescued Nhi Pham and her family off the coast of Vietnam in the 1970s, it was a gift she has never forgotten.
Soon after, a church in the small town of Snohomish, Washington, sponsored her refugee family. That, too, was a gift that shaped who she is today.
Dr. Nhi Pham is one of the most successful dentists in the greater Seattle area. For decades, she has leveraged her work to help underserved communities here and around the world. Today, she has a team of 50 and growing. Her energy is contagious, and her will to do good is truly inspiring.
Dr. Pham’s story proves that the best business model is simply serving others, and growing your business can lead to massive freedom to make work exactly what you want it to be.
