Consider this: what breed would you never want to be if you were a feline? What seven-letter idiom is a crafty and somewhat critical way to describe the complex psychology and behaviour known as "mimicry?" And what seven-letter compound word that begins with C and ends with T is a derogatory label you may give to someone who's just trying to fake it to make it and do it just like everyone else? The answer to all of these questions and the main consideration of this conversation is - A COPYCAT - a person who imitates others. A rather insecure soul, a person who is willingly swallowing a pill of conformity and washing it down with a chaser of predictable mediocrity. A person busy mimicking someone else's moves and suffocating their unique potential in the process. A person squandering their chance to unleash their unique brand of impact and effect into the world. A person who is being controlled and animated by the evil spell of sameness.

In this UNCORK conversation, Michelle Martin, "the business leader's success coach," and I discuss the importance of authenticity and avoiding mimicry in life and business. Michelle shares her experience of leaving a successful corporate career to pursue her own path, not conforming, being a copycat, and staying true to herself.

Our conversation also delves into the challenges of breaking free from old patterns and beliefs. We underscore the importance of living in alignment with one's true self and the power of embracing uniqueness. This discussion is a powerful reminder to our audience to find harmony between different aspects of their identity and to be courageous, ever-evolving, and true to themselves.

Are you living and leading by design or just by default? It's time to wake up and live the life you want—not the one someone else programmed for you.

In this UNCORK conversation, we explore the concept of living by default versus living by design with Nancy Gentle Boudrie, a mindfulness and mindset coach. Nancy's insights reveal how default programming, often influenced by upbringing and societal expectations, can lead to a life of unhealthy unconscious habits and survival mode. She stresses the importance of awakening and becoming aware of these default settings in order to live a life by design. Nancy also shares her personal journey of transitioning from a high-stress entrepreneurial career to becoming a mindfulness and mindset coach. Additionally, we explore the practical application of mindfulness and emotional awareness as tools for waking up and living by design and the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in personal and professional relationships. Our conversation concludes with a discussion on living a life by design and embracing one's uniqueness for the benefit of others.

This UNCORK conversation with educator and community leader Josh Windsor examines these crucial questions: Should we, or are we seeing a seismic shift in how we should deliver public education and define student and system successful outcomes? And, how does the often bureaucratic and politically entangled world of public education leadership compare with the profit-driven arena of private sector leadership?

Our chat is a deep dive into the need for students to engage with 21st-century learning competencies and the concept of micro-credentialing. It also touches on the importance of teaching creativity and breaking down disciplinary silos to achieve the ultimate goal of creating an education system that values engagement and provides students with relevant and transferable skills.

The conversation also explores various aspects of education, including student engagement and activism, the application of knowledge, supporting adolescents, cell phone use and communication, instilling values and problem-solving skills, resilience and failure, parental support and self-advocacy, leadership in education vs. the private sector, the complexity of education leadership, balancing stakeholder needs, challenges faced by educators, passion and dedication in education, and building relationships and trust.

In this 5-minute & 45-second episode, I share this powerful quote by French writer, poet, and journalist Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,

"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

Listen in, and we will apply this wisdom to leadership, personal and professional goals, and calling you and me into our destiny. Let's paint a powerful vision and fall in love with the destination to inspire and motivate ourselves and others to build well and wisely.
