Positive Vibrations Roundtable with Sara Troy and her guest Ann Betz and Bill Macquis aired November 24th-30th

At BEabove, we help people understand that the most important thing is not what we DO, but who we ARE.

Through our Seven Levels of Effectiveness, we provide a roadmap of human effectiveness which elegantly and clearly shows us not only where we are, but where we want to go to find that new level of thinking so badly needed in today’s world. We undergird this roadmap with current research on neuroscience and psychology, providing an easy to understand the comprehensive model of human transformation.

Ann is also the co-developer/leader of BEabove Leadership’s popular training program for advanced coaches: Neuroscience, Consciousness and Transformational Coaching, currently available in the U.S, Canada, Mexico, Turkey, China, Norway, and the U.K.

A certified professional coach for over 14 years, Ann is the author of a groundbreaking white paper on brain research and coaching. She contributes to Choice Magazine, Coaching at Work, Coaching World, the International Coach Federation’s and CTI’s blogs, and other coaching and HR publications.

Ann is the lead author of Integration, the power of being Co-Active in work and life, an exploration of consciousness and the future (John Hunt Publishing, 2015). She is also an international speaker on neuroscience, leadership and coaching, and she excels at making the complexities of the brain come to life with depth, humour and simplicity.

“Joy of Fractal Living” We are in the process of developing a very cool relationship development software program called the Nuance. The software will help people to build personal relationships focused and built upon built on improving the quality of each other’s lives by being able to quickly identify, connect and socially interact with other like-minded people with just a few mouse clicks. What makes this software program even more exciting for you is that it will be fully integrated to work with your existing online social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter!

In addition, the “Q-Factor” incorporates several essential and easy to use online tools that enable people to live more purposeful, meaningful and productive lives every day. Here are just a few of the key benefits to Fractal Living…

Make wiser and more informed life choices.
Build more purposeful, meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships
Play a more effective role in assisting others to fulfil their Dreams, Inspirations, Visions and Aspirations in life.
Work as united community of people who are dedicated to peacefully transforming the world into one where everyone has Liberty, Independence, Freedom, and Equality

There is still lots of work to be completed in time for the official launch of the site by July 4, 2016, but you can be a part of it now, just contact us. Living Fractals

Ann’s previous show with Sara

Aired from January 20th on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Nicole Dominique Le Maire

I am now 37 and can say that starting my own business has been a challenge, but one that inspires me every day. I love waking up and knowing that I will be doing something totally different each day.

Nicole Dominique Le Maire has gained a reputation as a highly valued leader within the female business and Human Resources Industry. As a multi-talented woman entrepreneur and a global people connector, she is also the co-author of two books, including ‘The Female Leader’.

Nicole is an expert in leading people-based activity from a strategic and operational perspective, with a gift for developing entrepreneurs. As a result, she has gained tremendous experience guiding startups and entrepreneurs which has supplemented her MBA, MAHRM, and MCIPD and this has catapulted her to become one of the top leaders in the Human Resources and Female Leader industry.

Overcoming dyslexia and becoming a very successful woman takes belief in one’s self, women in business is very important today and is powerful, and a catalyst that creates new opportunities for women just starting out. As women, we tend to value relationships and through that, we can open up new avenues for global partnerships that drive win-win relationships between organizations.

If you take me for example, I am a very creative individual who enjoyed coming up with new ideas for the corporate business I was working in. Now at that time there were certainly many benefits to working inside a company and focusing on moving the corporate business forward, yet the idea of putting too many eggs in one basket and working on multiple projects at once kept me excited, yet ultimately it leads to a feeling of boredom.

This boredom is very current and linked in many cases (from my experience) to high achievers (especially women) leaving the corporate workforce. In a way not taking the role of intrapreneurial women in the corporate industry serious can kill the spirit of true innovation. This could be the reason as to why so many corporate intrapreneurial programs fail in the mainstream.

Women’s entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly hot button topic. Women who want to experience financial independence and also experience the thrill that comes with owning one’s own business. There’s a lot that goes into running a successful business, and it can take a while to actually get something done, depending on how hard one works and what industry one chooses.

My experience of working with women and what the biggest challenges are that women face succeeding with their business

In most parts of our society, we have come to accept that men and women generally have the same capability to do a job. However, as much as mainstream society is poised to embrace the growing power of women in the workplace, there are many studies that show that people are unable to grapple with the idea of a female leader, yet more and more surveys have shown that female managers and business leaders are getting higher marks and reviews than ever before.

As more women role models appear in industries and companies throughout the world, it is becoming clear to anyone that female leadership is not only real but will likely surpass male leadership numbers in the future. I have worked with women in business for many years and I myself have faced the challenges of being a female intrapreneur whilst still working at companies such as DHL, Alstom, Epson and now as a female business owner.

What is the wisdom you would share with women who want to get engaged in business?

In order for a brand to be memorable, it has to stand out from the crowd. You need to be different from everyone else in order to create a memorable brand persona. Add your talents and skills to your unique persona, and you will find the sweet spot that only your company can fill.

It is a big step, so be sure it is really what you want. You have to commit to long-term growth and learning and you will face challenges that will help you develop as a woman in business.
