Together, they explore the critical ingredients every business leader needs to craft an elevator pitch that opens doors, builds connections, and creates opportunities.

The Elevator Pitch Recipe: Crafting Marketing Messaging That Stops the ScrollAbout Katie LantukhKatie Lantukh is the founder of Murphy Marketing, where she and her team of messaging specialists help businesses create marketing messaging that stops the scroll and starts conversations. Katie specializes in helping entrepreneurs and business leaders gain clarity on what to say and where to say it—from foundational brand messaging to strategic placement across websites, landing pages, email, blogs, and LinkedIn. Fun Fact: Katie's favorite food is Mexican food, especially tacos—her household celebrates Taco Tuesday and Margarita Monday! The Fire Brigade FrameworkKatie introduces her powerful metaphor: your elevator pitch should be like a bucket of water being passed down a fire brigade line—easy for people to hold onto and pass along to others. Your message must be simple enough to remember, clear enough to repeat, and compelling enough to share. The 7 Essential IngredientsWhat You Do - Start with clarity, not your job titleThe Outcome - Focus on the transformation people experienceWho You Serve - Define your ideal client clearly; set boundariesThe Problem - Lead with the challenge your audience facesTiming & Flexibility - Develop 10-second, 30-second, 2-minute, and 5-minute versionsWhy You & Why Now - Showcase expertise and create urgencySimplicity - Less is always more; make your audience feel smart, not lostKey InsightsThe Two Signs Your Pitch Works: They ask a follow-up question: "How does that work?"They immediately make connections: "Oh, do you know...?"Avoid the Laundry List Trap: Don't try to explain everything you do. Focus on one clear problem and solution. Save comprehensive details for the actual sales conversation. The Power of Parameters: Setting clear boundaries on who you serve doesn't exclude people—it attracts the right ones. Julie's "Take the Mic" StoryJulie shares attending a Patrick Bet-David event with 10,000 attendees. She intentionally stepped up to a camera crew and "took the mic"—resulting in her appearing on the event's signup page alongside The Rock and Robert Kiyosaki as the only woman featured. The lesson: Success comes to those willing to step up when opportunity strikes. Memorable Quotes"If you've done this elevator pitch well, you will have a follow-up question." "You really get like one minute to make an impression." "If you wanna be a business owner and you are wanting to be successful, you have to be ready to take the mic."

    Building Trust & Psychological Safety: The Workplace Wellness ToolkitGuest: Malka Shaw, LCSW - Psychotherapist & Trauma Specialist Host: Julie Riga | Stay On Course Podcast Overview Trust is the defining leadership challenge of 2026. In this transformative episode, psychotherapist and trauma specialist Malka Shaw shares her innovative ARC Method for creating psychological safety in the workplace. With over 25 years of experience and expertise in workplace dynamics, Malka reveals why cultural humility (not just competence) is essential for building resilient teams where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Building Trust & Psychological Safety: The Workplace Wellness Toolkit What You'll Learn: The ARC Method for Workplace Wellness: Anchoring: Understanding nervous system activation and creating environments where people feel safe to disagree, innovate, and collaborateRecognizing: Moving from cultural competence to cultural humility by examining your own bias and leaning in with curiosity, not cancellationConnection: Repairing moments of misunderstanding by acknowledging impact over intent Why Identity Matters at Work: Malka explains "identity destabilization." When people can't show up as their full selves at work, it reduces cognitive bandwidth, creativity, and problem-solving ability. The neuroscience is clear: hiding core identity directly impacts productivity. The 10-Second Rule: We judge others in just 10 seconds. Learn how to shift from defending to understanding, and why this paradigm shift is critical for leaders in 2026. Key Takeaways:"If you don't feel safe, you're not going to be able to disagree on anything"One-time workshops don't work; trust-building requires ongoing commitment"Advocate with the people, not for the people"Cultural humility means embracing "I don't know everything and I'm willing to learn"Without psychological safety: increased turnover, decreased productivity, and talent loss Perfect for HR professionals, executives, and leaders preparing to prioritize workplace wellness and trust in 2026.
