Wendy Porter sees opportunity just about everywhere.

And she seems to have a knack for converting those opportunities into special things – events, businesses and one-of-a-kind of experiences.

Get a front row seat on HOW she does that in this week's Gamechanger edition of The Playbook:

Segment 01 – First Event
"You can put on an event, right?" A handful of words can shift the trajectory of your entire career.

Segment 02 – Company Origin Story
How a quick comment in an elevator can set you on an entirely new path in life.

Segment 03 – Getting Laid Off
In the moment, it's terrifying...but Wendy finds a mentor and transforms a layoff into the perfect path forward. (Bonus Gamechanger: The real value of gratitude).

Segment 04 – Governing the Pandemic
Wendy discovers that her industry needs a voice during the Pandemic. How it started. How it's going.

"Oh, there's a lot of opportunities, if you know when to take them, you know?"

What do the Pet Shop Boys and really pretty journals have in common?

The answer is event planner and creative explorer Micki Lubek.

Micki is one of the most interesting writers I’ve personally come across over the past couple of years.

And now…I find out what makes her such a powerful creative force. If you want to find new strategies to solve problems in your work…listen to Micki. She’s on the radio show this week, and she has some big ideas.

Segment 01 – Pet Shop Boys
Remember the Pet Shop Boys? They’re Micki’s harbinger of creative greatness (and yeah, they’re still around and killingit).

Segment 02 – Libraries
And not just ANY libraries. Micki loves a very, very specific type.

Segment 03 – Disaster
What happens when we have a moment where everything blows up…Micki gets extra creative.

Segment 04 – Notebooks
You really need to have a super cool repository for your journey. Micki’s got tips to make your notebooks extra memorable (guest bloggers!).

You know that one person in your industry who decided to push the limits, and became a superstar around the world?

In my industry, that's Christian Chenier. He went from doing great work in Toronto, to doing great work with The Blue Man Group, NBC/Universal and the recent Luna Luna installation in L.A. (not to mention stops with Broadway shows and so so much more).

How did he do it...and what can you learn? That's in this week's Gamechangers episode.

Segment 01 - Integrity & "Authentic Enrolment"
How you get accountability by showing vulnerability.

Segment 02 - Being the One
Less talk. More action. Get awesome at something and just...use that skillset to be amazing.

Segment 03 - Empathy Leadership
Our old friend Empathy is back - with real world advice for people who have to lead people.

Segment 04 - Glam Precision
Forget the lie of "Flawless Execution." Do this instead.
