    The Hidden Reason Your Team Is Falling Apart with Robyn McTague

    What if the biggest conflict in your workplace isn't between your employees—but between what drives them at their core? Robyn McTague, creator of A Life of Choice Coaching and Positive Team Engagement, reveals a shocking truth that's reshaping how leaders understand their teams. After surviving a challenging childhood and beating cancer 25 years ago, Robyn discovered something that traditional personality tests completely miss.

Here's what will blow your mind: There are over a million possible combinations of what truly motivates people—and most leaders are operating completely blind to this reality. Robin shares how one business collaboration nearly fell apart until she recognized the real issue wasn't personality... but something much deeper. What you'll discover in this episode: Why that "difficult" employee might actually be your biggest asset in the wrong roleThe one assessment that reveals hidden tensions before they explodeHow cancer became Robyn's catalyst for helping others live authenticallyThe #1 mantra every leader needs for instant conflict resolutionWhy inspiration fails but motivation succeeds (and how to tell the difference)What the "great disengagement" means for your business right nowBut here's the real question: What happens when you finally understand what truly drives each person on your team? Robyn shares a case study that will make you rethink everything you know about hiring, team dynamics, and why some employees thrive while others quietly quit.

    Starting Small Creates Massive Health Wins for Midlife Women with Michelle Dwyer

    Small Changes Create Big Health Wins with Michelle Dwyer Are you drowning in endless self-care to-do lists that leave you feeling more exhausted than energized? Board-certified holistic nutritionist Michelle Dwyer reveals why most wellness approaches fail - and the counterintuitive strategy that actually works. When a mysterious illness derailed Michelle's teaching career 14 years ago, she stumbled upon a truth that transformed everything. Now, she's helping midlife women break free from the overwhelm trap using her "start tiny" method that seems almost too simple to work. But here's what Michelle discovered about perimenopause and menopause that most health coaches won't tell you: the conventional advice is making things worse. Her continuous glucose monitor experiments reveal shocking food triggers that even "healthy" women never see coming. What's the one morning habit that changed everything for her clients? How does she help women stop fighting their bodies and start working with their natural rhythms instead? And why does her approach deliver results where years of other wellness programs have failed? Michelle's unconventional wisdom challenges everything you think you know about sustainable health - especially if you're tired of complicated protocols that promise the world but leave you feeling defeated.

    The Behavioral Economics Secret That Outperformed Every Digital Campaign with Gee Ranasinha

    What happens when a CEO suggests using marketing tactics that everyone considers obsolete? Gee Ranasinha's clients thought he'd lost his mind - until the results came in. The award-winning agency CEO serving 400+ startups across 20 countries has built his reputation on one radical principle: when everyone zigs, he zags. His contrarian approach recently shocked an Atlanta tech company struggling to reach older customers. While competitors pushed expensive digital solutions, Gee's team proposed something so "outdated" that executives initially refused to consider it. The outcome? Performance numbers that made their previous campaigns look embarrassing. But Gee's unconventional wisdom goes deeper than surprising tactics. He's making bold claims about AI that contradict Silicon Valley's biggest promises. Why does he believe 90% of AI marketing claims are "absolute BS"? Which specific applications actually deliver results, and which ones are destroying authentic customer connections? Drawing from behavioral economics and his role as visiting professor, Gee reveals why consensus-seeking kills innovation and how emotional triggers trump logical arguments every time. His philosophy challenges everything most agencies believe about modern marketing. What's the "dinosaur" strategy that's outperforming cutting-edge technology? How does understanding human psychology unlock marketing breakthroughs that data alone can't achieve? And why might your most controversial idea be exactly what your business needs? Discover the counterintuitive methods revolutionizing how smart companies connect with customers. To connect with Gee Ranasinha, visit Kexino's website Stay connected!

    Self-Sabotage Blocks Success for High-Achieving Leaders with Dr. Liz Dubois

    Talented leaders who know exactly what they want to do still shoot themselves in the foot. Dr. Elizabeth Deggie Dubois, conflict resolution expert and executive coach, cuts through coaching industry "sparkle mumbo jumbo" to reveal the real reason behind professional self-sabotage. With a Ph.D. in conflict resolution and expertise in women's safety issues, Dr. Liz pinpoints why smart, skilled professionals remain stuck despite having clear vision and talent. Her approach focuses on safety - not comfort zones, but genuine psychological safety to step into your next level identity. The breakthrough question that unlocks every client's self-sabotage pattern: "What about the thing you want would piss off the people who raised you?" This simple inquiry immediately reveals the societal programming and parental expectations blocking forward momentum. Dr. Liz's clients typically see 25% income increases quickly, with many doubling their earnings within two years. Her three-month intensive coaching gets to root causes that years of therapy and productivity courses often miss. Instead of endless personal development, she provides targeted strategy to stop the specific behaviors keeping leaders from their calling. Her personal milestone involves deepening her son's middle school community connections while writing her novel "Bad Mom" - a story of recovery, professional success, and authentic motherhood after overcoming addiction. Ready to stop fighting yourself and unlock your potential? Dr. Liz helps leaders identify and eliminate the precise patterns sabotaging their success.
