Interview with Laurie Warren

I’m a change agent for empowered well-being in body, mind, and spirit. Basically, I help people and organizations be healthier and happier. I do this joyful service – as a speaker, writer, corporate consultant, and clinician – with an approach that’s grounded in three foundational beliefs:
The body is a self-organizing organism that’s hard-wired for healing.Our mind can be used as either a bridge or a barrier in our quest for well-being.What matters most is WHO we are as we move through this world.Prior to earning an MS in clinical and integrative nutrition, I spent a dozen years in leadership positions in the high-tech industry. This experience has assisted me in being a seasoned ally for corporate clients, helping them to build a progressive wellness culture.I’m excited to report that my forthcoming book  Wild World, Joyful Heart: Unlock Your Power to Create Health and Joy will be available in October 2019.
This book is a culmination of my past three decades of clinical experience, study, and research in the fields of science, psychology, and spiritual evolution.In addition to all that fun, originally a Maine native, I’ve lived for the past 24 years in the beautiful and historic Greater Boston area while enjoying my four children, my two grandchildren, and the gift of life.

Interview with Dana Look-Arimoto

Dana has always left a legacy behind. She believes strongly in leaving things better than she found them, and her record shows it. While working at SIA as Senior VP of Strategy and Solutions, Dana co-launched the industry’s first-ever buyside conference, research council, advisory practice, and speaker bureau. This resulted in a complete organizational structure change to scale and ultimately sell the founder's company, along with the CEO and Chief Analyst, to Crain Communications. During her time as Global Vice President at TAPFIN, Dana designed, collaborated, and led the Global Managed Services (BPO) Center of Excellence for TAPFIN. By working with 66 country experts across sales, finance, legal, tax, operations, back office, and implementations, her team delivered standardized methods across Fortune Company clients while honoring nuances within each region, country, and province. Dana also directed a team of market intel and thought leader experts, mining proprietary data and correlating it with externally available market and economic data, to create and launch the first-ever company Contingent Workforce Index. Today, this is not only a Global Index but the basis for a new revenue model. Dana left TAPFIN to join ICon Professional Services (now TalentWave), where she served as COO and President of Alliances and Advisory Services. As COO, she led growth initiatives that resulted in the final transaction to a substantial private equity exit for the owner/founder of ICon within 18 months, doubling the company’s revenues by developing and executing against a three-horizon plan ahead of timeline by ten months. As President, she was an architect of change and led the industry’s first alliance and advisory practice. She was responsible for the team of experts who jumpstarted TalentWave’s growth engine with the vision of revolutionizing the way companies and freelancers take the first step to becoming compliant.
The aforementioned successes and her 20+ years of experience led her to be recognized as a Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 2015 Woman of Influence, a judge for the 2016 and 2017 Stevie Awards in the Individual/Female Executive Award categories, and a member of SIA’s Global Power 150 for the Women in Staffing category in 2018. She has also spoken at a variety of international keynotes and expert panels within the talent ecosystem for such notable companies as Fieldglass, PeopleFluent, Allegis, and TAPFIN. She has also presented at industry events such as SIA’s CW Solution, SIA’s Executive Forum, and the TechServe Alliance Annual Conference. Not satisfied to only talk about her opinions and thoughts, she has published pieces in SI Review, CW 3.0, HRO, Compliance Week, The Fordyce Letter, and Institute Supply Management Magazine, among many others. Helping companies anticipate “what’s next” is a specialty of hers.
Today, Dana has started her own consulting and advisory firm, Phoenix5, embarking on the next phase of her career as an advisor, coach, speaker, and mentor, evangelizing a new mindset: Stop Settling®. Phoenix5 transforms individuals and organizations holistically in an accelerated way with maximum return. Stop Settling builds on that vision by offering a sustainable alternative to the work-life balance myth through a simple composite StrataGEM® charting that frees companies and professionals from giving in and giving up on sustainable success. With that in mind, Dana has begun coaching and advising an elite and like-minded team of Fortune, Staffing, and Digital Platform leaders, while collaborating with thought leaders and innovators of all kinds, to revolutionize the way we work and lead the voice of the new talent movement. She is a Founder and Global Staffing Evangelist for SOAR and also serves as a member of the advisory boards for Opolis, Reboot Accel, VNDLY, Shiftgig, and LNQ Systems.

Effective communication and productive interpersonal relationships are key factors to achieving success and self-mastery in life. As an International Speaker, Leadership Educator, I have spoken to audiences as large as 500 people. I have hosted workshops in Canada, Haiti and Cameroon to both public governments and nonprofit organizations. My passion and purpose in life is to empower individuals to be confident leaders and effectively reach their full leadership potential. As a result of working with me, clients achieve greater positive impact and the best return on investment not only for themselves but also the organization for which they work. We live in an era where success is too often defined by material things. Instead, I aim to highlight the quantitative and qualitative value of effective interpersonal skills, confidence, effective leadership and relationship management on both the bottom line and the individual’s quality of life.When you have the opportunity hear me speak, not only will you feel empowered, entertained and inspired but also well-equipped with the tools and structure which generate greater results and higher motivation to take on any challenges in both personal or professional life. https://www.paulaalphonse.com/

Interview Bettina Gordon-Wayne

Host of upcoming Podcast It’s Never Too Late
Bestselling Author of The Joy of Later Motherhood
Certified Mental Strength Trainer
A lot of Bettina's work centers around overcoming ageism (the one that's coming from the outside and the one that we do to ourselves) and how to pursue a dream even if we think we're getting too old to do it. We could take our conversation into many directions, like chronological age versus biological age. Since the summit, I took a blood test to test the length of my telomeres and find out my biological age. Turns out, my body is 6 years younger than my chronological age, even after the cancer journey, I had last year!
