406: A Cure for Anxiety From Former Anxiety-Ridden Workaholic Charlie Hoehn

by

Today, I am excited to introduce to you an author I’ve just recently met, but who has written at least five books so far.

I’m especially thankful to former guest Honoree Corder who put him on my radar. Thank you, Honoree!

charlie hoehn

His name is Charlie Hoehn and he describes himself (among other things) as a former, anxiety-ridden workaholic. Case in point: he’s a guy who once worked 90+ hours on just six hours of sleep. Yikes!

Charlie and I spend most of our time today chatting about his book Play It Away: A Workaholic’s Cure for Anxiety.

We also get into his work helping Tim Ferriss launch his follow-up to The Four-Hour Work Week, and how he was able to gain the attention of some of his biggest heroes.

405: How the Power of Pace Can Help Your Organization Achieve All-New Levels with Elizabeth Knox

by

Work well and live well. That is a great tagline.

It just happens to be the tagline for a consulting firm called MatchPace, founded by Elizabeth Knox. Elizabeth, thanks to an introduction by my friend Lisa Lewis, is my guest on the podcast today.

Elizabeth’s mission is to give organizational leaders and their teams strategies to transform their workplaces so everyone can work well and live well (see, there’s that tagline).

The key to effective and satisfying work, she says, is finding a sustainable pace. Without it, we all suffer from a lack of focus, burnout, and high turnover.

Elizabeth, after years of helping organizations reimagine their workday, details her experiences in her new book and offers data-driven strategies to help you discover a pace that empowers both your organization and your employees to succeed.

That new book is called Work Reimagined: How the Power of Pace Can Help Your Organization Achieve a New Level of Focus, Engagement, and Satisfaction.

404: A Proven Plan for Leading Successful Meetings, Dynamic Workshops, and Effective Training Events with Paul Maltby

by

Over the years, I’ve definitely read my share of books on the topic of public speaking. It’s a skill I believe I will never stop improving upon. As leaders, I think that goes for all of us.

Paul Maltby

Being able to effectively communicate one’s ideas – one-on-one or to a group – is critical to our success as leaders.

However, in my 20-plus years as an avid reader, I don’t remember ever coming across a book that delves into the topic of public speaking from the point of view of a trainer or meeting or workshop facilitator.

In that this skill is one I’ve been given the opportunity to flex now more than ever myself (what with my own book releasing last year), today’s book and guest could not be more timely.

I’m excited to welcome to today’s episode Mr. Paul Maltby. He’s the author of The Fearless Facilitator: A Proven Plan for Leading Successful Meetings, Dynamic Workshops, and Effective Training Events.

This book is a field guide for anyone who wants to ensure success in any type of meeting setting.

Sometimes I come across someone who has managed to write a number of books that have somehow NOT been on my radar. Today, I get the chance to “fix” that by featuring an author of nearly 15 books to date.

His name is Robert L. Dilenschneider. He’s written books like Decisions, Power and Influence, and The Public Relations Handbook, among others.

His new book is called Nailing It: How History’s Awesome Twentysomethings Got It Together.

Who better to extrapolate the greatest and most important lessons from some of history’s most influential people.
