Season 6 Episode #3 James Brett is coming from North of Sydney, Australia (inform, inspire, & transform)

You can find James via his website oasis-within.com.au

James guides leaders and professionals towards harmony, insight and purposeful action. He supports those navigating their biggest challenges and helps them turn adversity into clarity by reconnecting with their core strength. James’s approach bridges ancient wisdom, modern practice, and grounded presence, guiding individuals and groups to discover what truly matters, bringing the mind and body into aligned action.

James’s journey has been about developing an understanding that the deepest leadership doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from stepping into your zone of genius and bringing the zone out in others.

Before stepping onto his path of transformational work, James spent years in the corporate world, thriving in sales, training, and consulting. Now, he brings that lived experience to help ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, and seekers find success that nourishes rather than depletes. James is passionate about the power of full presence, deep listening and heart centered action and how these will transform leadership, relationships, wellbeing and our planet.

James, thanks for having the courage to look deeply at your life, process it, reflect on it, learn from it and eventually, create processes that allow you to transform your life and the lives of the people you serve. Thanks for being our guest and welcome to the show.

Season 6 Episode #1 Mitch Weisburgh is coming from Larchmont, New York (inform, inspire, & transform)

You can find Mitch via his website https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com

About our guest: For over four decades, Mitch has been at the intersection of education, technology, and learning transformation, helping individuals, educators, and organizations rethink how we learn, teach, and grow.

Mitch is the creator of the Mind Shifting Method — a neuroscience-backed system helping high-achievers, coaches, and transformational leaders move beyond mindset alone to rewire their emotional operating systems for sustainable resilience, clarity, and self-trust. Mitch works at the root level, so resilience, creativity, and powerful leadership become automatic, not exhausting. When individuals stop fighting their own brain, growth stops feeling like survival — and starts feeling like freedom.

Mitch has authored several books with his most recent release this past November - Conflict and Collaboration. A review of Mitch’s book said the following – “Reading this book is like immersing yourself in a practical and deeply human guide on how to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and collaboration. It’s a work that challenges us to rethink our reactions and always seek the constructive side of human encounters and disagreements.”

Mitch, thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, thanks for continuing to challenge yourself to learn, grow and teach. Thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients – Welcome BACK to the Show!

TOTD – “You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. “
