Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

I Sara Troy have had the privilege of interviewing Dianne Crampton many times, and each conversation reveals another layer of her profound wisdom in the world of leadership and team dynamics. She consistently brings clarity, compassion, and a practical vision for what truly matters in business today.

Dianne once again—founder of the TIGERS 6 Principles and president of TIGERS Success Series. She is also the author of Becoming TIGERS: Leading Your Team to Success, a unique leadership parable told in the rich tradition of Native American storytelling. Within its pages, a father struggles to save his job as his passion turns to shouting and control—mirroring a timeless tale of two tiger brothers: one who leads through inspiration and collaboration, and another through fear and dominance.

Dianne explores how storytelling can gently shift mindsets, helping leaders move away from toxic habits and toward trust-based, cooperative workplaces. She also shares her vision for using Becoming TIGERS alongside the TIGERS Team Wheel game to help school counselors address the deeper roots of conflict and even reduce school violence.

Join us for a heartfelt and thought-provoking conversations on the power of story to transform the way we lead, work, and live together.

BB25-40. Dianne Crampton. Stories Shift Leadership

On this episode, we welcome Dianne Crampton, founder of the TIGERS 6 Principles and president of TIGERS Success Series. Dianne is the author of Becoming TIGERS: Leading Your Team to Success. In this unique leadership parable—crafted in the tradition of Native American storytelling—Dianne weaves a story within a story.

BB25-37. Dianne Crampton’s TIGERS Integration

I started TIGERS because I wanted to understand what makes a group of people truly work well together. As a manager, I was discouraged by how much emphasis was placed on individual achievement while the potential of people collaborating with purpose was ignored. I’ve always believed that employees aren’t costs to be controlled—they’re the real stakeholders in an organization’s success.

Sam says “Ever since I was a child, I’ve found myself lost in the world of words and stories. I am Sam Hawksmoor, and writing isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. It’s like I discovered my calling before I even knew what a calling was. Each blank page was a canvas for my imagination, a gateway to unknown worlds and uncharted territories’.

C25-39. Lisa K Friedman’s novel “Hello Wife” 

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa Friedman, on air from September 30th

K. Friedman, author of the novel Hello Wife Lisa explores the devastating impact of opioid abuse on the families of those who are addicted

Single, unfulfilled, and well into middle age, Charlotte Lansing desperately seeks love and acceptance. When she announces her engagement to an unemployed morphine addict, her family is thrown into turmoil. Her mother tries to prevent disaster, her father tries to bridge the divide, and her sister clings to the hope that their bond will protect Charlotte. But Charlotte has finally found happiness, and she resists their efforts even as she disappears into her new husband’s addiction.

As Charlotte’s family grapples with the storm her choices unleash, Hello Wife lays bare the fragility of love, the strength of sisterhood, and the invisible scars of the opioid crisis. Darkly funny, achingly real, and unexpectedly hopeful, this unforgettable novel pulses with emotion and humanity on every page.

With razor-sharp insight and tender prose, Friedman invites readers into the life of a woman determined to hold onto happiness, despite all consequences. And, in this case, the consequences are dire.

C25-39. Todd Smith, Conflict-Avoidance

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Todd Smith, on air from September 30th.

How to go from conflict-avoidant in relationships to confident and connected

If you are a sensitive person who is strongly affected by conflict in relationships, you’re not alone. At the beginning of my marriage, I found conflict unavoidable, and it challenged me to the core. As a result, I started doing inner work and found a growing resilience inside me. I’m here to share how it’s possible to respect your own sensitivity, even while taking up space in your relationship.

I come from a background of spiritual development, and I lived in an ashram for about 10 years in my twenties. When I left the ashram, I had trouble integrating into the real world, including the world of being in a relationship. I discovered a process called The Work of Byron Katie and dove into it, at first thinking it would give me the courage to leave my relationship. I soon found that I was the main sticking point in the relationship and that I could easily shift out of my victim mentality. I’m still in the same relationship 25 years later. I now feel like an equal to my partner and feel connected instead of alone.
