Greatness Podcast

As a member of the National Academy of Construction (NAC) I am so proud of all the ways we strive to share the expertise of our 400+ members as the "virtual mentors of the industry". NAC member Jerry Eyink joined the Greatness Podcast to talk about the wonderful podcast put forth by the NAC - Get the kNACk. The diverse perspectives and areas of expertise shared on Get the kNACk are outstanding.

We are all absolutely perfect, brilliant, and capable today just the way we are. It's our perception that we are imperfect that keeps us from realizing this, a simple yet profound message that Rhiannon Heins, author of  The Keepers of the Light Codes, shared with me during her visit to the Greatness podcast. One point that really landed for me - we frequently set ourselves up for failure by overscheduling our lives and setting unrealistic expectations. Rhiannon shares many practical tips for how we connect with the energy of the universe to support us in our experience of a beautiful life, including how to ask for help. 

Capitalism doesn't work for the masses. Whether you agree or disagree with this statement, listening to Dr. Richard David Hames thoughts on the topic is worth your time. Richard is one of the leading futurists in the world and mentors significant global leaders. Richard argues that the systems designed for two billion people are not working in a world with eight billion people, that our ongoing desire to "own more things", driven by propaganda, is not serving us well. His tips - don't take anything you hear or read as gospel, and if the information concerns you, ask who benefits from this? Who is funding this? Richard also shares his thoughts on global leadership.

Tuti Scott is an amazing change agent and joined the Greatness podcast to share the source of her inspiration (a resilient single mom raising five kids) and her advocacy for people who are "under-resourced in the world". From supporting women athletes to her current work around gender lens investing, Tuti is making a huge difference. A shocking 1.6% of both philanthropic and capital dollars go to women and girls. Tuti's free downloadable guide, Moving Money for Impact: A Guide to Gender Lens Investing, is a must-read on the topic. As consumers and investors, we can make a difference. 

Back in 2016 I had the good fortune to share the experience of doing my TEDx Talk with my good friend and bestselling author/coach Christy Belz, an amazing experience. Christy utilized our TEDx Talk experiences, and those of 10 other women, to bring her ideas to life in her book, Oh God of Second Chances, Here I Am Again. This book is an amazing exploration of living with courage and leading with authenticity. Christy discusses our daily choice points and how to be more present and centered in our lives, how to be a "human being" versus a "human doer". 

Disrupt or Die: Transforming Australia's Construction Industry - a bold new report from the Australian Constructors Association. CEO Jon Davies joined the Greatness podcast to discuss the report, which delves into the construction industry issues of lagging productivity gains, the cost of conflict and lack of trust, and the challenges associated with low-bid/tender, commodity type purchasing. Jon's advice, at any level - ask "why" - why are we doing things this way? 

Everything changes. It's life's only constant. Even when we say we're willing to adapt, we often fight it.

Having worked with some of the major companies in mining, engineering, and technology, Friska helps to bring digital transformation to life by speeding up adoption and developing digital solutions.

Do you find it hard to express yourself at work? For many of us, feeling insecure at work is a continuous challenge. However, it is also a major hurdle to reaching our professional goals and realizing our full potential. Remember that lack of confidence is not a flaw, and that these limitations should not define you. We've invited Mira Parmar, career confidence and leadership coach, to the Greatness Podcast to help us navigate our way into that confidence that's lying within us.

When we start something new in our lives, whether it's a business or a new job, we are often discouraged by our fears of failing or making the wrong decision.

Janine has helped thousands of influential leaders and business owners around the world develop to their full potential and take their companies to the next level
