    Game Changer –– Lessons on Speaking Up, with Emmy-Winning Journalist, Jen Mueller

    Before sports broadcaster Jen Mueller could break into sideline reporting with the Seattle Seahawks, win her Emmy, and score a Super Bowl ring (yep, she’s got one), she had to bust through some significant gender barriers.  She pushed past that male-dominated world and into a pretty hostile locker room, and it taught her some things. “You learn how to stand your ground, how to speak up, but more importantly, how to make the most of whatever interaction you actually get with somebody”. After 17 years with the Seahawks, Jen uses what she's learned in the locker room to help people communicate effectively, when every second counts. Today we're hearing Jen's lessons on how to use your time to speak up and break out, even if that box seems indestructible. About Jen Jen Mueller, founder of Talk Sporty to Me, is a business communication expert with 25 years of experience as a sports broadcaster. An Emmy-award-winning producer, she is currently a sideline radio reporter for the Seattle Seahawks and has worked with the Seattle Mariners. She has also worked for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and WNBA, and was awarded the Keith Jackson Media Excellence Award in 2022.

    Smashing Body Shame, One Shot at a Time, with Elizabeth Snyder

    “The only one that cares about the extra five pounds you put on is you…Everybody in your life…should want to enjoy your presence and your photos.” For many women, having their picture taken is an excruciating experience; it’s something they’d do anything to avoid. That intense self-criticism is something that  portrait photographer Elizabeth Snyder wanted to address. So, a few years back, she shifted to a unique speciality. Working primarily with women aged 35 years and up she’s developed a thoughtful, step-by-step process that's about learning to see yourself differently and letting go of shame. The results are extraordinary because the thing that makes Elizabeth, the perfect person to help these women overcome their doubt are the incredible trials and tribulations she's endured on her own path to self-fulfillment.  About Elizabeth Elizabeth is a portraiture artist, confidence expert, and workshop leader passionately committed to helping women feel their best. She has helped hundreds of women feel comfortable in front of the camera. Elizabeth has been exploring photography for the last 33 years, starting with working in her family's darkroom at age eight. Since then, she’s won many awards for her artistry, including the Portrait Masters competitions, the Castellani Art Museum's 20/20 vision: Women Artists in Western New York Exhibition, the Wedding Wire Couples Choice award, and the Top 10 Photographers in Buffalo through Expertise.  Links Elizabeth Synder Photography Elizabeth’s book: Unbroken About The Breakout The Breakout is the hit podcast hosted by human resources and change experts Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther.

    The Breakout Introduces Notes on Resilience

    Join us for a bonus episode this month, as we share Keri and Kelly's appearance on Notes on Resilience, hosted by Manya Chylinski! What if the secret to effective leadership wasn't having all the answers, but rather creating space for genuine human connection? In this enlightening conversation with Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther, co-founders of the Abbracci Group, we explore the transformative power of compassion in the workplace. The dialogue begins with a fundamental truth: people want to feel cared for, regardless of whether they're at home or at work. Despite this simple reality, many managers struggle to show genuine empathy and vulnerability—often because they've been conditioned to maintain professional distance or believe they must always provide immediate solutions to every problem. As Keri points out, it is hard to fully listen as humans, especially in our hyper-connected, distraction-filled world. Yet this skill becomes increasingly crucial in times of uncertainty. Kelly emphasizes that managers needn't have answers to every question; sometimes their most valuable contribution is simply acknowledging, "I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I have information, I'll share it with you." The conversation navigates the delicate balance between compassion and boundaries. Contrary to popular belief, these concepts aren't opposites—in fact, clear expectations and boundaries are themselves compassionate acts. Without them, managers risk becoming ineffective "besties" rather than leaders who can guide their teams through challenges. Perhaps most compelling is the business case for compassion. When employees don't feel cared for, engagement plummets, discretionary effort disappears, and eventually, customer experience suffers. It might not happen right away, Keri warns, but eventually you will lose customers, clients, and revenue. Through personal stories and practical insights, this episode offers a masterclass in human-centered leadership that acknowledges our shared vulnerability while maintaining the structure necessary for organizational success. About Keri and Kelly Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther are the founders of Abbracci Group, co-authors of “Whatever the Hell You Want," and hosts of The Breakout podcast. Dr. Keri Ohlrich has over two decades in HR leadership, and embodies a passion for transforming workplaces into thriving ecosystems.

    Boiling Point – The Collapse That Changed Everything, with Justin Maffett

    I had a budding career as an attorney. I was making more money than I knew how to spend. I was living in the Upper East Side. Everything looked promising. On paper, it seemed like Justin Maffett had achieved the life he'd always wanted, but instead of enjoying it, he felt trapped in a career that was making him miserable.  Then in 2020, COVID lockdowns forced Justin into a state of physical and emotional isolation, and that simmering resentment he felt towards his work turned into a mental health crisis - followed by arrests and felony charges - that would upend his entire life. May is Mental Health awareness month, so in this episode we're hearing about Justin's long journey back from the brink, and why when it comes to Mental Health, we need radical transparency. About Justin Justin Maffett is a writer, lawyer, and current graduate student at HEC Paris Business School. Previously, he was a New York City and later Washington, D.C. based corporate lawyer at two premier international law firms where he specialized in financial regulations. He currently lives in Paris, France and New York City.
