BB25-40. Dianne Crampton. Stories Shift Leadership

October 6, 2025October 4, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Dianne Crampton, on air from October 7th

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. At its heart is a father whose job is on the line because his well-intentioned passion comes out as shouting and micromanagement. His struggle mirrors a parable about two tiger brothers—one who inspires and coaches his diverse tribe, and another who rules with surliness and control. Dianne explores how stories gently shift mindsets and open leaders to real change, offering a fresh path away from toxic behaviors and toward collaborative, high-trust leadership. She also shares her vision for pairing Becoming TIGERS with the TIGERS Team Wheel game to support school counselors and help address root causes of conflict and even gun violence in schools. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation about the power of story to change how we lead, work, and live together.

After 13 jobs and changing careers four times, I decided to help job seekers by becoming a career coach.

Started out as a teacher of English as a Second Language in the NYC public school system. I attended graduate school at night in French language and literature so I could become a college professor. When I graduated, there were no jobs in the NY metro area so I transferred my skills to college administration. I worked for three different colleges in continuing education. I created online courses in Lotus Notes and then at ASME, I worked with engineers to create courses on Blackboard. Then I worked for six different nonprofit professional associations. BA Brooklyn College, MA Harvard University, PhD New York University.

BB25-37. Dianne Crampton’s TIGERS Integration

September 15, 2025October 4, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Dianne Crapmton, on air from September 16th

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. After all, we spend more of our waking hours at work than with our families, and that time should be meaningful. Through decades of research and 34 years of practice, I’ve proven there is a much better way. When trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk resolution and shared success guide how we work, teams achieve extraordinary results—and people end their days feeling engaged, valued, and proud of what they’ve built together.

BB25-34. Damien Ross, “Fast-Track to Mortgage Freedom”

August 25, 2025August 24, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Damien Ross, on air from August 26th

My passion for mortgage brokering comes from seeing too many families burdened by debt longer than they need to be. I believe everyone deserves the freedom and peace of mind that comes from being mortgage-free early, with a financial plan that builds lasting wealth. My mission is to guide people—whether first-time buyers or long-time homeowners—toward smart strategies that not only pay off their mortgage faster but set them up for a secure, comfortable future they can pass on to the next generation.

I grew up with two older brothers and incredible parents who taught me the value of hard work from a young age. I’ve been self-employed for most of my life, and I’ve always loved the hustle of running a business—looking ahead, setting goals, and achieving them.

My path to becoming a mortgage broker is a longer story, but the short version is this: I’ve always been drawn to real estate, and in my other businesses I genuinely enjoyed the numbers side—keeping the books in the black and making sure things ran efficiently. Over time, I realized that mortgage brokering combined my love for real estate, numbers, and helping people reach their goals. The more I learned about the profession, the more I knew it was the perfect fit.

Outside of work, I’m a family man with an amazing wife and a teenage daughter. We love the outdoors—camping, exploring, and getting out into the woods whenever we can.

FREE OFFER.

I offer a complimentary one-on-one session where we take a close look at your numbers and explore strategies tailored to your situation. It’s a chance to get practical, personalized advice that can help you make informed decisions and move confidently toward your goals.

BB25-28. Haylee Gernert & The Virtual Life

July 14, 2025July 13, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Haylee Gernert, on air from July 15th

I believe the behind-the-scenes of a business is where the magic really happens, and that magic deserves care, clarity, and intention. My journey into Online Business Management started with a love of organizing chaos and a deep respect for the humans at the heart of every company. Through systems, structure, and soulful strategy, I support small business owners so they can stop drowning in the day-to-day and get back to the big-picture work they’re meant to do. My message is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own success and needs a trusted partner to help bring order, alignment, and ease to their operations. I also write The Virtual Life, a newsletter and creative outlet where I share stories and reflections from the world of online business: a space to connect with others walking this unique and dynamic path

I started my professional path in traditional administrative roles, learning early on how much I love supporting people, not just with tasks, but with vision. Over time, I moved into virtual support and discovered the world of Online Business Management, where I found my sweet spot: helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs build systems that actually support the life and business they want. Today, I work as an OBM and Retreat Support Specialist, blending operations expertise with heart-centered strategy. I also write a Substack newsletter called The Virtual Life, a passion project where I explore the behind-the-scenes of digital entrepreneurship. I’m based in Northern California, raising a family, growing a business I love, and travelling as often as I can.
