NINA SIMONS

Welcome Nina Simons to the podcast this week! She is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers. As a social entrepreneur, her work has spanned diverse sectors and genres, including the arts, philanthropy, the corporate and nonprofit worlds. She is passionate about reimagining leadership so that all women and girls can whole-heartedly aspire to it. And cares deeply about being a good ally, and social healing by rebalancing racial and gender equity.  She co-edited Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart, and authored Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership—being released as a second edition in June 2022 with a discussion guide and embodied practices — and which has won awards in the categories of women, intersectionality and racial justice. To learn more about her, or where she may be speaking or teaching, visit ninasimons.com or bioneers.org. Bioneers is an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet. Founded in 1990 in Santa Fe, New Mexico by social entrepreneurs Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, we act as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.   A celebration of the genius of nature and human ingenuity, Bioneers connects people with solutions and each other. Our acclaimed annual national conference and local Bioneers Network events are complemented by extensive media production including a vibrant online media presence, award-winning radio and podcast series, book series, and role in third-party media projects such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie The 11th Hour and Michael Pollan’s best-selling book The Omnivore’s Dilemma.   Our dynamic programs and initiatives focus on game-changing initiatives related to Restorative Food Systems, Biomimicry, Rights of Nature, Indigeneity, Women’s Leadership and Youth Leadership. Nina in her own words: My life has been an exploration of how to best serve what I most love, while cultivating myself to grow into who I believe and sense I was born to be. This has involved lots of exploration and a path that’s quite self-made, and as I’ve explored how to shed self-limiting conditioning and cultivate leadership flourishing by cofacilitating retreats for women leaders who were diverse in every way, those women and experiences have grown me. I’ve partnered with a very strong-willed and brilliant man, which has required me to step up my game on every level. I’ve reached a place in my own life where I’ve created the life, leadership, love and creativity I always wanted, and I want the joys of that integrated life to be reachable for every woman and girl. And I believe the future of our species - and life on Earth - may depend upon it.  Visit Nina Simons here: https://www.ninasimons.com/ https://bioneers.org/ Grab her book here Find her on Social Media: www.facebook.com/Bioneers https://www.facebook.com/nina.simons Instagram: @bioneers &amp; @1ninasimons  Twitter: @bioneers &amp; @ninabioneers LinkedIn:  Linkedin.com/company/bioneers  Linkedin.com/in/nina-simons Check out the website for more info on the podcast: https://mayapinionpodcast.com/ Download the "How to be The Leader of Your Life" Guide Here: https://www.subscribepage.com/howtobetheleaderofyourlife   ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mayapinion/message

114 - A Woman Listens for Leadership with Nina Simons, the founder of Bioneers

Welcome Becca Powers to Motivation Monday! She is an award-winning Fortune 500 hi-tech sales executive, best-selling author, speaker, and Founder and CEO of Powers Peak Potential. In her 20+ year career in sales, she’s worked for large companies including Cisco, Dell, and Office Depot, achieving President’s Club 7 times while leading teams of 110+ and hitting $500 million in annual revenue.    Becca intimately knows the struggles that have come as a cost to her high achievements. Through nearly losing it all, she was forced to discover a more supportive and sustainable path to success that she now teaches to others. She founded her consulting and coaching agency to help high achievers and high-performance sales teams obtain skyrocketing success without sacrifice. Through workshops, seminars and her signature coaching program, Becca works with individuals and organizations to create sustainable change by training them to thrive from the inside out without the cost of compromise.    In addition to being an executive life coach with specialties in shadow beliefs and trauma awareness, she’s also a Kundalini yoga teacher, and incorporates many holistic modalities into her coaching practice.  In 2021 she released her best-selling book, Harness Your Inner CEO - Rise into Passion, Prosperity, and Empowerment to increase her ability to help others become the CEOs of their own lives.   Becca currently resides in South Florida with her husband Jeremy and their 4 children. For more information, visit www.beccapowers.com and tune into her podcast, The High Achievers Club on your favorite podcasting platform. Becca in her own words, "I became the CEO of my own life by taking charge of my journey. Through prioritizing my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health I was able to reassess what was important to me and found out that success, health, and happiness can co-exist, if you put your own needs first. I learned the hard way through working myself into chronic health conditions that there is a formula to living a life that thrives both personally and professionally. By shifting focus and applying this formula: "The Self + The Soul + The Success = Success Without Sacrifice" to my life I became more successful yet had more time to do the things I love. This ultimately changed my life's trajectory, resulting in an epic transformation that allowed me to truly become the CEO of my own life and start living a life I love! I'm now able to share my journey and the lessons learned as a motivational personal empowerment guide that gives others the tools they need to become the CEO of their own life."

112 - Leaders Press with Alinka Rutkowska

What does it mean to be the Leader of Your Life? Most people believe that you must have a title like Director or Vice-President at a Fortune 500 company to be a leader. Others think you must own your business or be an advocate for a great cause. None of that is true to be a leader. In my opinion, we have leadership backwards. We put so much pressure on people to achieve a certain status before they can “lead’ that we have lost the true meaning of leadership. Before you can lead others, you must understand how to be the Leader of Your Life. We have leadership backwards because we often are throwing individuals into situations before they even know who they are, especially who they are as a leader. We promote someone to lead a team before she knows what her values are for herself. We decide someone is ready to take on a new project before even examining whether it aligns with her personal mission. When we are interviewing and hiring, we often fail our teams as we don’t take the time to understand what their vision for their life may be or what they feel their purpose is in this life. Why do we do this? Because no one did it for us and we are repeating the pattern. How do we change the narrative of leadership? And most importantly, how do we take control and be the leader of our own lives first? The core basic steps for us to take are to truly understand what our values, mission, vision and purpose are before we even step foot into an interview, a job, an office, a promotion, new business endeavor, the list goes on. Leadership begins within you and understanding yourself so that you can give back to others with your core values from a place of purpose, clarity of vision, and feel aligned with your own mission. What happens when we go about jumping into leadership the other way around is counterproductive and we learn what doesn’t work. It can be helpful and that’s exactly how I discovered what my values, mission, vision and purpose were not at all. However, it led me to start to understand that I got lost in corporate “culture” and like a chameleon, I would change into whatever those key elements were for the companies I worked for. I’m sure without a doubt that you have done exactly the same thing. It does not matter if you are a CEO, Business Owner, Stay at Home Mom, Part-Time Worker, Full Time Student, Unemployed individual seeking your next role, or just taking time to learn about yourself. You are the Leader of Your Life. Therefore, you are already a leader. How to become the Leader of Your Life? You do not need someone to give you permission to lead or be given the corner office with a title. You are already a leader. Your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive you throughout your life and dictate your personal leadership. These four important pillars will guide you to succeed in any aspect of life that you choose to embark upon because you will have clarity about yourself as a person and as a leader. That is why we have leadership backwards. We bring people into different cultures; work, home, community, church, and so on. People oblige and join these communities. However, you will join, create, and naturally attract and lead the right communities in every aspect of your life when you are the leader of your life. Why? Because you will dictate your environment, your environment will not dictate you, and your values, mission, vision, and purpose will drive the environment you create and attract. You will ultimately know yourself.

110 - The Success Whisperer with Lori Hanson

Amber Tichenor has a Ph.D. in I/O Psychology and is the founder of To Be, Coaching + Consulting®. A thought leader on the topic of women’s rivalry, Amber has 20+ years’ experience as an Organizational Change Strategy and Leadership consultant where she helped guide businesses through transformational change. Her book, “Behind Frenemy Lines: Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together,” published by Morgan James Publishing, is on sale now.  Amber’s goal is to promote collaboration over competition, to empower women to find their voice, leave the rivalry behind, and team up with a community of like-minded women who support each other to be unstoppable together.  In Amber's words, she is a leader because "I’m addressing the topic of  female rivalry that’s not only challenging, disruptive, and heartbreaking on so many levels, it’s very difficult to address head on, and talk about it.  And bottom line, this behavior  doesn’t need to occur. As a leader, I’m helping women  and organizations understand this behavior and ultimately, overcome it. I help women find their voice again and be better together. I help organizations understand how the behavior exists and impacts their organizational culture, and how to revise that to  implement a culture of psychological safety.   I walk my talk in my personal and professional life, there’s really no separation. What you see is what you get. I want to empower women, my family, everyone, to be better humans." Amber also says, "I’ve extensively researched female rivalry and how it impacts women as a whole as well as the surrounding environment (work, socially, etc.).  My goal is to help women overcome female rivalry and find ways to empower each other, work together and establish collaboration over competition. I firmly believe that what we can do together is so much more than what we can do alone!"

Her book, “Behind Frenemy Lines: Rising Above Female Rivalry To Be Unstoppable Together,” published by Morgan James Publishing, is on sale now.  Amber’s goal is to promote collaboration over competition, to empower women to find their voice, leave the rivalry behind, and team up with a community of like-minded women who support each other to be unstoppable together.  In Amber's words, she is a leader because "I’m addressing the topic of  female rivalry that’s not only challenging, disruptive, and heartbreaking on so many levels, it’s very difficult to address head on, and talk about it.  And bottom line, this behavior  doesn’t need to occur. As a leader, I’m helping women  and organizations understand this behavior and ultimately, overcome it. I help women find their voice again and be better together. I help organizations understand how the behavior exists and impacts their organizational culture, and how to revise that to  implement a culture of psychological safety.   I walk my talk in my personal and professional life, there’s really no separation. What you see is what you get. I want to empower women, my family, everyone, to be better humans." Amber also says, "I’ve extensively researched female rivalry and how it impacts women as a whole as well as the surrounding environment (work, socially, etc.).  My goal is to help women overcome female rivalry and find ways to empower each other, work together and establish collaboration over competition. I firmly believe that what we can do together is so much more than what we can do alone!"

107 - Leadership for the New Female Manager with Karina G. Sanchez

Welcome Tanya Weaver to the podcast this week! Tanya Weaver is the Executive Director of American Foundation for Children with AIDS (AFCA), a role she has held since 2005. In addition to directing AFCA’s day-to-day activities, Tanya frequently speaks about AFCA and AIDS to students, community organizations and religious organizations. In 2007, Tanya created and held the first Climb Up so Kids Can Grow Up, an international series of outdoor events that raises funds for AFCA.   She has spent much of her life abroad involved in international development. Prior to joining AFCA, Tanya worked in Afghanistan as a Project Supervisor and later as Interim Country Director for Shelter for Life International, a global organization that provides assistance building homes and other shelters for those in need. Previously, Tanya worked with Habitat for Humanity International in Romania, Portugal, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary and Russia.  Tanya’s involvement with international development began early in her life. Raised in Colombia, she worked in orphanages in Colombia, Brazil and Jamaica during college summer breaks, further broadening her world view.  Tanya has a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. More about Tanya Weaver in her own words and why she believes she is a leader, "Fundamentally my goal is to help those in need, and I have led my life and career in that direction. So when I lead, I use that goal as my true north, and continually work to find the best ways to get there, and bring as many people as I can along with me to help." In addition, Tanya says, "As executive director of a non-profit organization for 17 years, I have a lot of experience leading people and projects."  Tanya Weaver is an absolute inspiration and what she has and does do to help children and families and women around the world. Tanya is not only helping people at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS through providing medicine and immediate assistance. But, Tanya and her team are creating ecosystems that support these families and give them tools to become financially independent and successful despite their circumstances. The entrepreneur in me loves this even more and I hope you are just as inspired about this experience. She also brings individuals and families over to these sites for a vacation with a purpose. You can actually see where your money and donations go, but you can also get involved with this amazing organization.

103 - Assembling your Tribe with Leah JM Dean

Jill James

Jill James is a female powerhouse, who helps self-funded business owners go from being the founder to CEO. This is the cure for entrepreneurs who work 80+ hours a week, which can be fixed in a matter of a couple of weeks, without losing any profits. She is not the one to give generic advice like "raise your prices" or "hire more people."  Jill comes from humble beginnings – she comes from a small town of 1000 people in rural Wisconsin. She then was a Wall Street banker as well as COO for a venture-backed tech start-up while being 7-months pregnant, and realizing that something had to change. Today, she has worked with hundreds of self-funded businesses and helped them develop into multi-million dollar companies. What makes Jill a great leader? In her own words: "It's of the utmost importance to me to be a partner and ally for the people I work with and align my expertise to their values and goals by listening. I lead through the lens of service." Show Notes: 01:15  Jill James talks about how she started her career and how she was able to write a newsletter “how to start your business in 10 weeks” on a daily basis. 03:01  Jill talks about how she started her Company “The Jill James”; what kind of founders she works with, how she does help businesses grow what basics she insists on, how she turned from founder to CEO, why most people are against that switch, 07:57  Jill explains “love like dislike hate” exercise, and how important it is to avoid doing things you hate and how that hate can drag you down, 12:08  Jill explains the major differences between the characteristics of the CEO and the Founder thinking, why we should keep the checkbook under our control as a CEO to avoid any serious mistakes. Why understanding the mechanics of your business is much more important than knowing about numbers because you can learn the numbers. 15:35  Jill talks about the importance of building a professional team and finding partners to get advice and help from them to gain much time and money to run your business in the way you want, 18:55  How founders create values and vision of how the business will function and how that helps the process of taking decisions and make it much easier and more efficient. 23:41  Jill talks about her two programs “Founder to CEO” and “the business design Bootcamp”, how she works with her clients and what program work for each client, how she adapts to each special case to help them reach planned goals 27:57  What are the clients that Jill works with, what are the most important things to make the business succeed, how working with a variety of businesses helps her work with many customers and help them make the right decision and boost their activity, 31:19  Jill gives advice to women about stepping up into leadership  Follow Jill James: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jilldjames https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Hx2ojDHha71dNG0m5p65g Visit her website here: https://thejilljames.com/  Thanks to our Sponsor: https://www.findacohost.com/  Visit Find a Co-Host™ now and try us out completely free using code VIP100!

99 - The Power of Leadership

"No" is a full sentence. This is a concept that was introduced to me in 2020, and I really understood it from my core by the end of this year, 2021. As leaders, we must know how to say No, even more than we need to know how to say yes. Let us know what you think about the second episode in the power series this week.

98 - The Power of "No" in Leadership

This is the first episode in the power series and I am discussing leading by letting go. I personally always thought the tighter the grasp I could have on "things" then the more "control I had or the better leader I could be as I would know "everything" and I could do "everything." Well, I learned quite early that is the farthest thing from the truth.  However, I find as women especially, we pride ourselves on having everything "under control" or saying things like "I've got this." The conditioning for this mindset and mentality did not serve us well to lead by letting go. Yet, it did serve us well in the ability to lead as the future is female.

97 - Leading by Letting Go

Christie Marchese

This week on the MaYapinion™ podcast, we have Christie Marchese who is the founder and CEO of Kinema. She is also, of course, a true leader of her life and knows a thing or two about leadership. Kinema is a new social cinema platform that is building a world-wide network of screening hosts, filmmakers and filmgoers. Under her helm, the company’s ultimate goal is to expand access to engaging film and effectively eliminate theater deserts, while also driving revenue for filmmakers and creators. Marchese has over 15 years experience developing grassroots marketing and social action campaigns for films to help drive lasting change.  Throughout that time, Christie noticed a gap within the entertainment industry -- one that she felt confident that she could fill. Christie recognized that the industry was rapidly changing, and those often left behind to fend for themselves were the small, independent filmmakers who desperately needed to share their stories.  Christie was previously recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People 2021 and Business Insider’s 30 Most Creative People in Advertising Under 30. Kinema is a social cinema platform that profiles the stories that deserve to be told. As the connective tissue to the future of cinema, Kinema gives the film marketing and distribution industry a new way to offer social, immersive, and unique cinematic experiences.

This week on the MaYapinion™ podcast, we have Christie Marchese who is the founder and CEO of Kinema. She is also, of course, a true leader of her life and knows a thing or two about leadership. Kinema is a new social cinema platform that is building a world-wide network of screening hosts, filmmakers and filmgoers. Under her helm, the company’s ultimate goal is to expand access to engaging film and effectively eliminate theater deserts, while also driving revenue for filmmakers and creators. Marchese has over 15 years experience developing grassroots marketing and social action campaigns for films to help drive lasting change.  Throughout that time, Christie noticed a gap within the entertainment industry -- one that she felt confident that she could fill. Christie recognized that the industry was rapidly changing, and those often left behind to fend for themselves were the small, independent filmmakers who desperately needed to share their stories.  Christie was previously recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People 2021 and Business Insider’s 30 Most Creative People in Advertising Under 30. Kinema is a social cinema platform that profiles the stories that deserve to be told. As the connective tissue to the future of cinema, Kinema gives the film marketing and distribution industry a new way to offer social, immersive, and unique cinematic experiences. The pandemic diminished the ability to gather in large public spaces; however, the demand for content and community grew. Kinema’s mission is to offer filmmakers and communities alike opportunities to experience cinema anywhere. The team is committed to being a resource to filmmakers and distributors by providing a new way of digital distribution, marketing and monetization. 1:09 Christie talks about her company “Kinema”, how she created it, what the company makes, and how it works. 05:36 Christie speaks about how she started her career in developing marketing and social action campaigns for films, how she founded her first company Picture Motion, how she leads it and how she grew up in the business, The story of her old company “Story spaces”, and how she used technology to develop her businesses. 10:29 Why believing in the idea is so important as a first step to succeed, where does Christie get the push and funding to create a new product or start a new business, and how does she find new partners for her company. 14:40 How important is it to get used to handling crisis and how it helps become a successful leader, 17:25 How Christie deals with her partners, she shares some of her stories with her partners, how to find the right partners and how crucial is it to have a good relationship with them, and building strong relationships with your partners. 23:05 How important is it to divide between friendship and partnership and how to set proper expectations from partners and friends, 27:08 How to take advantage of Kinema, what is its benefits, and how to use it properly. 30:45 Christie’s advice to women who are aspiring leaders and want to be the leader of their lives.
