  • Janine Klein, CEO & Co-Founder, and Andrea Canny, Actor & Interactive Learning Specialist, of the Emotional Intelligence Institute (Eii), join Yo to talk about how avatar-led training is delivering human-focused solutions. Eii is taking the power of creative storytelling and instead of using it to entertain, they help people understand each other on a deeper level. Their mission is to create immersive training experiences that blend artistry with emotional intelligence.

    Janine is an Innovator of immersive learning, virtual and live action simulations and role play experiences. She is a film & theatre actor, storytelling/improv and EQ consulting and awarded playwright. As Owner and Creative Director, she leads her team in pioneering methods for leader development and challenging conversations, making a definitive impact in the fields of defense, healthcare, and education.

    Andrea, you may remember, is my beloved sister-in-law and amazing performer with a 40-year career spanning through Asia, Europe, and the USA. She’s joined us on 4 other episodes and you can check below for those details. Her Disney career began at Disney’s MGM Studios as the original Belle (Beauty and the Beast), original Laverne (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Adventurers Club, and more. Andrea was voted Vocalist of the Decade on Broadwayworld.com in 2020. She also won Critic’s Pick: Best Actress in a Musical 2018 for her portrayal of Mama Rose in Gypsy at the Garden Theatre.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    Emotional Intelligence Institute Origins Avatar-Led Demonstration Benefits of using Avatar-Led Training Improvisation & Storytelling Role Client Feedback

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. A demo really helps put yourself in the role and you will find yourself suspending disbelief. The technology allows one to practice and do a dress rehearsal so the body can be relaxed during what can be difficult conversations.

    2. Avatar-led technology is different than role-playing because of the vulnerability involved in 1:1 conversation with people can have unintended consequences while avatar-led training allows individual practice and results in complete buy-in.

    3. The actor/avatar provides the safe-space (no right or wrong) to allow participants reveal their personal stories that they’re naturally open to in life for their own self-discovery.

  • This month we’ve been talking about grief and this episode could be an example of anticipatory grief because we’re talking about Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States who recently on Oct 1 celebrated his 100th birthday.

    Our hope is that you'll be inspired by this short Sound Bite episode.

    There is a ton of things to admire about him – I recently shared some of them with some Millennials I know who said, "Wow, I had no idea" so we're taking theopportunity today to share some of my learning with you about this man.

    Topics Covered:

    President Carter’s key accomplishments in andout of office

    Why Jimmy Carter is the Rock ‘n Roll President

    Carter’s friendship with musicians

    A marketing innovator when it came to campaignevents

    His quotes about leadership

    Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:

    1. Jimmy Carter certainly deserves to be called the Rock ‘n Roll president. He saw music as the one thing we all have in common no matter where live.

    2. Jimmy inspires us to have faith, do what we believe to be right, no matter how much others may see as ‘inappropriate’.

    3. While some will not look kindly on his time as President, he is an inspiring, decent human being. Thank you, Mr. President, for all you have done. I am already grieving our loss.

  • Ellyn Katherine Shamalov, Millennial, joins us to discuss a bit more about loss, grief, separation, self-acceptance, and manifestation.

    Ellyn is an Enlightenment Mentor, QuantumHealer, International Speaker, 2x Best-selling Author + Soul-care Coach specializing in the Akashic Records.

    In early 2023, Ellyn’s life was upended when her partner made the decision to take his life. From despair, grief, guilt, and anger, she found herself immersed in emotionalstruggles that tested her resolve like never before. Ellyn utilized her own Quantum Enlightenment System and illuminated years of anguish, despite thecommon belief of grief’s never-ending cycle.

    In this loss, she has been able to claim wisdom and enlightenment and continues to thrive in strength andempowerment.

    Ellyn’s goal is to support others as they embark on their journey by clearing any self-doubt, limiting beliefs, past traumas, and generational patterns. In doing so they will be able to transcend fear, express their authentic inner self, feel liberated and joyful, and step into the realm ofliving their most authentic expression of their sovereign self.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    Quantum Enlightenment System

    Seven Life Lessons

    Separation & Grief & Forgiveness & Guilt

    Feedback & Triggering

    Manifestation = Recognition + Acceptance + Choice

    Law of Reflection

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. Our reaction to life is not determined by what’s happening around us or to us, but rather what’shappening inside us. Everything is a mirror of us.

    2. The Seven Life Lessons are: acceptanceof change, the power of gratitude, embracing failure as a teacher, letting go of control, live authentically, the importance of connection, and finding meaning in adversity. These lessons can be applied to grief, leadership, or any other area of personal development.

    3. Manifestation (Recognition + Acceptance + Choice) is about the law of reflection which is about consciously shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions to align with our goals.

  • So we like to cover books and have guests on the show totalk about emotions so we can be better leaders and based on the number of listens, you like to explore those topics with us. And there’s one emotion werealized was suspiciously absent from our list. And that emotion was grief.

    As some of you know we recently lost the dog we’ve had the pleasure of loving and caring for, over the last 7 years, Caitlin. She was a very spicy 13 yo Frenchie and we are so grateful to her breeder who thought it would be great for her to live her later years with us.

    There were several things that the event of losing Cait, aswe liked to call her, brought to the forefront as I went through the process of grieving.

    Here’s what we’ll cover in the episode so you can choose to listen or not and it’s okay if it’s not – grief is a complex and difficult topic, particularly if you’re going through something right now.

    Topics Covered:

    What is grief? And we’ll reference BrenĂ© Brown’s Atlas of the Heart for that.

    Is the grief of losing a pet different fromlosing a person we love?

    Can grief bring other losses to the forefront?

    Is the experience of grief different if it’ssudden rather than having the time to prepare?

    How do emotions around grief like guiltmanifest themselves?

    What does the author, David Kessler, have tosay about the Sixth Stage of Grief of finding meaning?

    What does the author, Victor Frankel, say aboutgrief?

    Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:

    1. Grief is deeply personal and complex:Grief isn't limited to the death of a loved one and can manifest through a wide range of emotions, often involving sadness, guilt, or anger.

    2. Grieving a pet can bring up layered losses: The loss of a pet can trigger cumulative grief, where pastlosses reemerge and intensify the current experience. While society may not always acknowledge the depth of pet grief, it can be just as profound as grieving a loved one. Pets provide emotional support and companionship, making their absence felt in everyday life.

    3. Finding meaning is a crucial part of healing: David Kessler's "Sixth Stage of Grief" teaches thathealing goes beyond accepting loss; it's about discovering meaning in the aftermath. This process helps us honor the memory of what we've lost and findpurpose in life again. Meaning is personal and can come from ongoing connections with loved ones, rituals, or reflecting on the lessons their lives offered.

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    2. We do make assessments about what we wear and what others wear. It can reflect what we think about ourselves. We need people to believe we are capable. Naysayers are usually people not as successful as us and our cheerleaders usually are.

    3. You’ll find you need help so it’s important to find mentors who know more than us. We need to own who you are, the good and the bad, and acknowledge how far we’ve come. Also important is to avoid comparing yourself to others, only compare yourself to where you want to be and where you are.

  • This month we’re all about Abundance and this episodecontinues the conversation by doing two things:

    The first is covering the book, The Algebra of Wealth, A Simple Formula for Financial Security, by Scott Galloway. I had seen several posts by Galloway on LinkedIn and thought he had a lot to say about wealth, both from the functional and higher vibrationallevel.

    And the second thing will be to share some recent learnings about Resilience I’ve had over the weekend when I attended the Nancy Walton Laurie Leadership Institute of Chi Omega in Memphis, TN.

    Topics Covered:

    Key economic statistics “True advice” research findings Galloway’s wealth algebraic equation Emotional security Deep dive into resilience

    Here are 3 takeaways from our episode:

    1. Despite the challenges we face, the future holds incredible opportunities for those who remain focused, adaptable, and willing to invest in themselves.

    2. Economic security isn’t just about how much you earn, but about what you keep and how you use it.

    3. By embracing a mindset of resilience and long-term thinking, we can redefine success and build lives of abundance, free from the anxieties that have weighed down previous generations. Remember, wealth is not just about money—it’s about choices. And when you take control of your financial future, you gain the freedom to live on your own terms.”

  • This episode kicks off our theme for the month, Abundance, with a book by the same name, Abundance, The Inner Path to Wealth, by Deepak Chopra, MD. Dr. Chopra is a clinical professor of family medicine and public health at the University of CA, San Diego, and serves as a senior scientist with Gallup Organization. He is the author of more than ninety books.

    Here the topics we covered:

    Unfolding the inner path External and internal perspectives The “money will come” Yoga with a capital “Y” Gifts that come with generosity of spirit Self-awareness, the missing ingredient

    Card Match to Episode:

    “Lotus Heart” with this sentimentfrom e.e. cummings: “I carry yourheart with me – I carry it in myheart.”

    https://girltaketheleadpod.com/shop#!/lotus-heart/p/680566980/category=0

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. We can look at Abundance from both an external and internal view point.

    2. We can transcend self-generated feelings of limitation and fear by taking responsibility of our own selves.

    3. When we add consciousness and awareness to mix we can as Rumi said: “see the perfect sweetness blossoming in the depths of our hearts”.

I know you probably all followed the Olympics in Paris this year and heard a lot about the women who stood out with amazing stories like Katie, Simone, Sha'Carri , but I’m thinking there’s some other stories you may not have heard about and that’s my hope for today. I hope you hear something new and feel inspired learning about these fearless women, moms, and soon-to-be moms.

  • Lida CitroĂ«n, Boomer, joins us to talk about her new book, The New Rules of Influence – How to Authentically Build Trust, Drive Change, and Make an Impact.

    Lida is a keynote speaker, author and executive coach empowering global executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to manage how they’re perceived and drive them towards ideal opportunities. She has helped thousands of individuals gain a fresh perspective on crafting a personal narrative that tells the right story to the right people about who they are. Her personal mission isn't just about perception—it's about profound transformation, guiding others to leave an indelible mark on the tapestry of human achievement.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    We matter Executive Presence and Influence Groups of Rules (why, who, how, where) Misalignment of values Brand and Influence Influencers & Social Media

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. Executive presence is about: Gravitas but that can’tbe well-defined, Image which is about how to dress the part, and Communication that are usually scripted messages. That doesn’t necessarily lead to influence which is not manipulation or persuasion. This is why we need new rules.

    2. Lida divides the 10 rules into 4 groups. Courage is our “Why” and it’s about being real. Credibility means being clear what we stand for. “Who” is now global and includes rules of being of service and inclusive. “How” is not about perfection but being consistent and that builds trust. “Where” is about visibility.

    3. Misalignment of our values canbe part of the journey and gets us to where we are (Rule 3) We’ve all experienced this and we learn from them.

  • This month we’ve been covering stories about fearlessleadership and perhaps like you have been intrigued by the political landscape this month and seeing Kamala Harris emerge as what one can only describe as fearless. So I dug in and found some sources that can help us elements of her leadership that we’ve been covering on the show.

    Topics Covered:

    Early inspirations Competition Determination Resilience Networking Empathy

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. Kamala Harris is breaking the mold for women when it comes to leadership. Her early foundation (mother-inspired, Berkeley in the 60s) set her on a course to be an advocate, empathy, and insights into politics.

    2. Kamala has designed her own way (blended family, Presidential run in 2020) and is anexample of learning from failure and demonstrating resilience.

    3. One of Kamala’s greatest strengths are herpeople skills: networking, building influence and creating alliances.

    Mentioned in the Episode:

  • Kim Dechaine, Gen X, joins us to talk about the fearless face of depression as part 4 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183, 184).

    Kim is a recognized international speaker and facilitator who specializes in empowering professional women to stay in their leadership roles with more ease and joy, by navigating and preventing overwhelm and burnout. Through her journey with depression and suicidal thoughts, Kim has learned one important truth: we are Human-BEINGS, not Human-DOINGS. Her passion lies in providing workshops and leadership programs to businesses and organizations that focus on mindfulness, self-leadership, and productivity.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    Role of leadership and core values like peace Trusting your intuition Self-awareness and leadership Compassion The necessity to look after ourselves Post-partum depression Connecting to each other Mental health actions to “pause” and “be”

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. Values in leadership, especially having peace and calm in our heart, when it comes to decision making, it might be a lightness leading to a “Yes”.

    2. Women in leadership have a special gift of intuition – pausing in that peace and calm can help us listen to that intuition. Both are intertwined. We have to learn tobe quiet and pause.

    3. Self-awareness and shifting ourselves is #1 to be fearless leaders – it starts with us. Compassion helps us lead from our heart. We have to be able to listen and to listen we need to pause.

    Reminder: No one has 100% mental health. It’s a practice. We need to prioritize it.

  • Paula Stone Williams, Boomer, joins us to talk about the fearless face of authenticity as part 3 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183).

    Paula is a Pastoral Counselor and internationally known speaker on gender equity and religious tolerance. As Kathy and Rosemary wrote this in their book after interviewing Paula: “She who had been born into a boy’s body and was given the name Paul by her parents knew she was meant to be a girl
 After leading a double life he made the fearless decision to move forward with her gender transition... for the first time in her years on earth she was feeling seen, heard, loved and valued for who she truly was. A woman.”

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    Transition journey

    Male & woman leadership insights

    Gender equity

    Authenticity

    Mary Oliver’s The Journey

    Actions to take the deep inner journey

    What keeps us from leading

    Rejection

    Types of gifts

    Women apologizing

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. Women can have very strong leadership tendencies and tend to have great confidence coupled with great humility.

    2. The call toward authenticity is sacred, is holy, and for the greater good and it’s terrifying and never easy.

    3. What stops us from leading isnot what we fear but what gave birth to the fear. It’s something that comes from thinking we’re unworthy of deep human connection as we are. You cannotlead from a place of strength until you deal with this dragon.

  • Jane (Ballard) Dyer, Boomer, joins us to talk about fearlessness in the face of sexism.

    Jane is a retired Air Force pilot and found her determination and grit to graduate from her training school even though her class voted to make sure no woman would graduate from her class. She broke the team goal with style and grace. Whoa!! Her story is amazing and will leave you much inspired. It is featured in the book, Fearless Female Leaders, written by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow which we featured in Ep. 182.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    Explicit sexism Taking the time to find confidence over nervousness Self-inflicted stress Dads’ unconditional support Women empowering other women Importance of voting Selecting people to be on our team

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. We will face the “naysayers” in life. It may take us time to dig deep to find that part of us where fearlessness is born.

    2. Jane’s success during these 1980s led the way for so many more future female pilots.

    3. We can all lack confidence at times but we can remind ourselves, like Jane did, that we can do things even when we’re afraid because we can breathe in the support of those who believe we can.

    More About Jane:

    Jane Dyer retired from flying in 2017 as a Boeing 777 Captain. She amassed over 10,000 accident-free hours at FedEx. Prior to the B777, she was the Captain of the Airbus 300 and Boeing 727. Her flying career began in the USAF where she flew the KC135, an air-refueling aircraft, and instructed in the T-37, a primary trainer for the Air Force.

    While in the Air Force, she met and married her husband, John Dyer. John also retired from the US Air Force as a pilot, serving two tours in Vietnam. He is a highly decorated pilot, including the Purple Heart.

    They have four children, three grandchildren and a great grandson.

    Jane has always been active in hercommunity as a youth sports coach, church volunteer, and Boy Scout merit badge counselor.

  • In our episode 177 we covered the book, Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima. I’d mentioned my interest in a distinction she covered: Toxic Positivity. When I saw that part in her book I had visions of the Disney Pixar film Inside Out (2015) which did a fantastic jobillustrating the dangers of being so over-positive that it can be damaging. I could totally relate to the character! Can you?

    Topics Covered:

    Defining “toxic positivity” Signs and problems with “toxic positivity” Melody Wilding’s Sensitive Strivers andpositivity Gabby Bernsten’s view on “manic manifesting” Research findings

    Here are 3 takeaways:

    1. “Toxic Positivity” is common and often a response to some underlying beliefs.

    2. Thinking positive 24/7 can be stressful and deny our humanity.

    3. Accepting our full range of emotions benefits us and some ways to do this include practices like mindfulmeditation and learning to take other perspectives.

    Topics covered in the Episode:

    How to manage change and self-care Finding and exploring your intuition Career success w/o comprising Control and overwhelming and ambition Resilience and shifting energy Setting boundaries

    Here are three takeaways from the episode:

    1. One type of change that comes to us is via our intuition – a kind of inner steering and we try to discern how much volume to give that inner voice. Key is to quiet everything else so we can hear our inner voice and find our ‘inner knowing’. Mindful Mediation or journaling can help find the silence and quiet.

    2. We don’t need to compromise ourselves – we can find our own space to just be ourselves. Exploring what we want to do and who we are is not enough – we need to take action and ‘do it’. It can start with action that is low risk so we learn and adjust.

    3. Most of us think success is reaching a destination but the journey and the steps taken can be success. Control can jump in and derail our efforts. If we hold too tight we can miss our own energy shifts.

  • In our previous episode with Melissa we talked about trauma and if not dealt with can result in being an over-achiever or trying too hard to more. And my take away was that it could results from an underlying beliefthat I am not enough.

    Jamie Kern Lima’s book, Worthy, jumped off my shelf andcalled to me. I knew it might be helpful for us to cover it and see what Jamie has to say about this as it relates to our theme for the month, self-care.

    Topics Covered:

    Self-Confidence vs Self-Worth

    Fear of Rejection

    Narcissism

    Resilience

    Success & Fulfillment

    Here are 3 takeaways:

    1. There’s a difference between self-confidence and self-worth. One way to look at is self-confidenceis the foundation that the self-worth house is built upon.

    2. We can live out and experience every great thing in the world and feel unfulfilled the entire time because our deep sense of self-worth has debilitative cracks in thefoundation.
    3. When we have a vision on our heart, noteveryone is going to get it.
