Just Show Up! And Be the Evidence that Someone’s Life Made a Difference. It really is that simple… with Yvonne Heath, Author, Speaker, Changemaker

With 27 years of nursing experience, Yvonne Heath has seen a lot, and not the kind of “a lot” most of us would choose to witness or experience. She’s worked in numerous aspects of health care, including the Emergency Department, ICU, Chemotherapy, Palliative Care, and Hospice. She has come face-to-face and heart-to-heart with grief, whether with a patient or through supporting their loved ones through some of the most painful moments of hurt and loss. And not just the painful moments in others’ lives, but in hers, as well. At one point, her teenage son was spiraling into drug addiction, she was raising 4-year-old twins, and working full-time as a Chemo Nurse… For a while she “went steady” with Red-Red Wine, attempting to numb her feelings so she could keep

“Sunday Family Dinner” – Create Space, Take Care, and Move Forward Thoughtfully with John Fancher, Part-Time Rockstar & Pastor, Marketing Consultant

It began a number of years ago, when John and his family attended a new church plant in Chicago; an offshoot from the home church in Oak Park. Their gatherings were a bit unconventional by “church” standards, but so were the attendees, John among them. When the “experiment” was ended, many chose not to return to the home church; its style and structure no longer met their needs. As a member of a musical community in the West Chicago area, John knew there was a desire for deep spiritual conversation and exploration among his friends and fellow musicians that wasn’t being fed through existing gatherings. On a trip to Ireland, John received what he calls a “Memo from the Head Office,” which eventually coalesced into the Sunday Family Dinner plan.

Do You Have the Audacity to Assume You Can be Happy and Authentic in the Workplace? Deep questions with Jeff Munn, Executive Leadership Coach

While Jeff poses that very question at a later point in today’s conversation, first Jeff and Laura explore one of the more common threads of discussion around leadership, which starts with the fundamental question: What’s the difference between management and leadership? Today’s conversation dives in with this and an insightful discussion about the activities, tasks, nuances, and expectations for leaders unfolds as Jeff and Laura explore and share their ideas and experiences. As Jeff has depth of expertise and experience working with CEOs in Healthcare start-ups, the two also dig into the struggles many entrepreneurs face, and both work through with their respective clients – the truth that sometimes the creative genius that conceives and idea for a product, service, or enterprise is not the person who is actually best

“I’m here with you and you’re here with me…” What it Means to Care for Women with Ellie Durant, Author and Community Builder, with a Clinical Background as a Midwife

You might think it would be all about the babies, and for some midwives, that may be true. For Ellie Durant, it’s about caring for women; being there to support and encourage them in one of the most intimate experiences of life. “Women have complicated stories,” she explains. “And the most interesting bits seem to be related to pregnancy and childbirth.” Ellie shares her story of how she came to be caring for women, beginning in her late teens studying nursing. A hardwired Learner, prone to dive deeply into the ideas and topics that capture her interest, Ellie would spend hours in the local bookstore reading whatever she could find in her field; she would even be so bold as to bookmark her place, put the book back on the

Feeling Like You’ve Been There Before, Even When it’s Your First Time… Hospitality is an Art with Mark Henson, Entrepreneur, Author, Community Builder

If you’re a business owner who occasionally – or frequently – takes your team off-site because you want them to think more creatively, work more collaboratively, be more innovative, and possibly even have more fun working, why would you even consider taking them to a beige, boring off-site conference room or meeting space? If you’ve done that, and wondered why they weren’t more creative, collaborative, innovative, or playful, nor was the meeting any more fun or interesting or productive than the ones you’ve held previously in your own conference room… The answer couldn’t me more obvious to Mark Henson, Founder of sparkspace in Columbus, Ohio. It all a couple of decades ago when Mark was working in a design firm. So many who visited the firm noted that they were
