Leadership & Animal Wisdom with Rachel Dexheimer

There is an emerging field called Biomimicry, which is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems. The central premise is that nature, which is imaginative by necessity, has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the skillful engineers. They have found what works, what is appropriate, and most important, what lasts here on Earth. The idea of looking to our four-legged friends for inspiration and information is very familiar to my guest today, who’s going to share with us her perspective on leadership based on more than 35 years of studying animal behavior.

Rachel Dexheimer of EquiSpire Coaching is a powerful and dynamic coach, speaker and author who works with professionals looking for the edge in leadership development.  During this podcast interview, we talk about her emerging perspective on leadership and entrepreneurship, including:

• How a dream spurred her to transition from corporate to coaching
• What we can learn from animals about getting out of our heads
• What introverts can find by going inside, in addition to energy
• Why power and control aren't all they're cracked up to be

Self-Promotion for Introverts® with Nancy Ancowitz

As an entrepreneur, do you find yourself in “perpetual promotion”? And as an introvert, does that leave you more than just a little drained? One of the things I’ve heard over and over from introverts is that talking about themselves is very challenging. And it’s one thing to talk about yourself; it’s another to do so in a way that positively promotes you and what you have to offer.

Nancy Ancowitz, author of Self-Promotion for Introverts®, is my guest in this episode of The Introvert Entrepreneur. We cover a wide range of topics, including

• How to change your internal chatter box from U-SUCK to U-ROCK
• Using accountability to keep you on track
• Budgeting your energy for the things that matter
• Why improv is an ideal confidence-booster for introverts

Stretching Your Comfort Zone with Heather Sell

Perhaps this has happened to you: you’re at a networking event, and you find yourself thinking, “If I could change this event, here’s what I would do…”  Heather Sell had that thought, and she took action on it! In this episode, Heather talks about how she helped spearhead the creation of the Downtown Women’s Club Tampa Bay Chapter, while keeping up with her full-time job, family, and a growing home-based business called Glassterpieces. We cover a lot of ground in this fast-paced 25-minute conversation:

• How she handles the push and pull of career, family, and starting a business,
• How introvert strengths feed into creative pursuits,
• What to look for – and avoid – in joining a networking group,
• Why you’re always an employee, even as an entrepreneur.

Heather’s bold attitude is inspiring and energizing…and watch out, you also might find it’s contagious!?
