Ep 42 - Applied Positivity, with Richard Spitzer
For this episode, I interviewed Richard Spitzer: Richard is a retired business executive with over 50 + years of professional expertise in communications/behavioral research. He has worked for major marketers, was a partner in one of the world’s largest research consulting firms, and had his own trend analysis research firm. After retirement, Richard encountered unexpected challenges and doubts about achieving new goals. After years of following conventional popular and clinical practices, he became frustrated with the always advised but never defined advice to be “more positive”. So, Richard applied his expertise and did for himself what he did for hundreds of clients over thousands of projects; he became the research subject to identify how to transform the advice to be more positive into a common sense positivity-building practice. The results are the Positivity Intelligence Course, with the book Discover Your Positivity Intelligence, the PIQ workbook and the Positivity IQ Target and Scorecard, which includes the 36 lessons to learn to build a positivity habit. The PIQ course is the evolution from where traditional practices stop: What is more positive? How will I know when I’m positive enough? How can I become more positive in the real world? Some of the highlights of our conversation are: From philosophy to spiritualitySpirituality and belief capabilityDeconstructing and measuring intangible conceptsThey all say to be positive but don’t tell you how to get thereHow do I know I’m positive enough?Positivity, what it is and is not, and what difference it makes, Do we really need to be positive to succeed?68% the positivity sweet spotPositivity can’t compensate for not having the right goal.Observable results but no measurable process Connect with Richard on www.modernpositivity.com Career & Spirituality Conversations is hosted by Julie Pône: Connect with me on www.juliepone.com Get my free guide: "3 Reasons Why You're Unfulfilled At Work And The Spiritual Tools To Fix It"

Ep 37 - The Tough Landing Of An Ocean Sailor, with Lucy Thom
For this episode, I interviewed former ocean sailor Lucy Thom: A geographer and former Royal Engineers reserve officer, Lucy’s was the first woman and civilian to qualify as a Joint Services (British Forces) Adventurous Sail-Training Skipper.  Lucy went onto becoming a round the world yachtswoman and relaunching and sailing manually the classic racing superyacht, “Mariquita”. These roles demanded good fitness and clear communication, especially in adverse weather conditions and so it was a huge shock when, just a couple of years after leaving the sea to start a family, Lucy found herself in hospital, struggling to breathe and only able to speak in a hoarse whisper. Diagnosed with an apparently chronic, incurable breathing condition called idiopathic airway stenosis, Lucy decided to embark on a quest to find what was causing unwanted tissue to grow in her airway? Little did she know then that it would turn out to be a 16 year “voyage” with far greater challenges than she’d ever encountered sailing round the world, ultimately leading her to work in mediation, conflict-coaching and group facilitation, and designing her own framework, The COURAGEOUS CONVERSATION S.P.A.C.E., to help people express themselves with compassion and authenticity. Some of the highlights of our conversation are: Sailing story of a real life “God help us!” situation.When you can’t bring yourself to ask for help: The difficulty of transitioning from high achiever professional to parent. Mate to mediator: from conflict resolution at sea to conflict resolution as a new career.Reclaiming one’s voice and authentic self expressionLessons from a chronic illness: don’t kill the messenger!Giving ourselves permission to heal Connect with Lucy on Linkedin, on her website Career & Spirituality Conversations is hosted by Julie Pône | www.juliepone.com.

Ep 26 - Living Life One Experience at a Time, with Liz Svensson
For this episode, I interviewed a very dear friend of mine, amazingly gifted reader of energy, Liz Svensson. Liz is a Systematic Kinesiologist, a Natural Lifestyle promoter and Wholehearted Health Coach. She works with your whole Being to reach your goals, in health and beyond.  Her perspective is that when we experience inner balance, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, our body naturally heals or rights itself. The resources to take care of the areas that need extra support are readily available and our inner natural intelligence simply takes care of the rest: recovery, well-being and continuous development. Our quest and responsibility is therefore to find and maintain this balance. It is through this approach that Liz lives her life and supports others to live theirs.  Some of the highlights of our conversation are: A spiritual journey that started by trying to prove it wrong A career path motivated by understanding people What is Kinesiology We are vibrational beings: what that means for our physical and emotional health. How our processing of emotions impacts us  We chose our experiences: a success story of manifesting  Having that trust that life will work out To connect with Liz: https://www.elizabethsvensson.com https://www.instagram.com/liz.svensson/ https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethSvenssonEH/ The most recent episodes of Career & Spirituality Conversations are released ahead of time to my email subscribers.
