In this episode, we are joined by Rochelle Finlay, a research and innovation management consultant who credits Influential U with helping her focus her offer in the marketplace, resulting in her business reaching new levels of success.

Before finding IU, she was one year into working for herself. Her business was going well, but her work-life balance wasn't great, her health was just OK, and there was a concern that consulting gigs could dry up. After working with Influential U, Rochelle has the framework and skills to achieve her short and long-term goals. What she's learned has also helped focus her consulting offer, and now she has greater clarity on the type of work she wants to accept and the type she'll gracefully decline.

In this episode, we are joined by Mark Kammerer, a former executive, who says he discovered Influential U after leaving corporate life and began his entrepreneurial journey. While he had been through a lifetime of formal and informal education, he considered the principles he learned at Influential U to be remarkably different. While studying with Influential U, Mark says he gained an appreciation for the significance of measurement, comprehended the value of understanding his impact, and, most importantly, discerned the personality he projected to others—an insight that left a lasting impression.

In this episode, we'll introduce you to the Transactional Personality know as the Judge. The Judge excels in skepticism, guided by high standards, competence, and a thirst for evidence before taking action.

Don't shy away from The Judge - embrace their wisdom as they can be your ultimate savior in times of peril. Learn to heed their suggestions, and you'll discover a guardian angel within this personality. However, be mindful of their Kryptonite – a tendency to pause transactions prematurely due to stringent standards and an inclination to overlook vision and repetition. Join us as we explore the dynamic nuances of The Judge and unlock the keys to harnessing their formidable strengths!

To help us better understand the Judge personality, we have a special guest who has been on the podcast before and is a Judge personality himself, Jeff Miller. Jeff is a partner, financial advisor, and the CFO of Sound Financial Group. He helps his clients design, build, and live a good life by creating a pathway to financial understanding, security, and independence. Jeff is going to tell you more about his worldview as a Judge personality and share a deeper understanding of where his transactional personality is an asset and where it may be a liability.

In this episode, we are joined by Ellza Malok, the Founder and Chair of the Blue Monarch Group. She has been celebrated as an executive and global marketing innovator, and she brings a unique lens to brands from her own experiences in entrepreneurship, data science, and psychology-based marketing.

Before studying with Influential U, Ellza found that it was a struggle to balance personal needs with professional commitments. These challenges were significant enough for her to realize the need for a structured approach to achieving her goals and managing these aspects of her life effectively. She found that at Influential U, her personal evolution, despite its challenges, has been essential. Now, Ellza feels she's achieving the transformation that she was originally looking for.

The personality we at Influential U refer to as the Producer is skilled with alliances and requests. Their superpowers are the ability to be short-term and objective in their thinking and they are highly work-oriented doers. They're who you want on your team because they are action oriented and ready to get to work. Their kryptonite, however, is that they may tend to halt things with premature or unnecessary actions and may avoid or dismiss completion and flexibility.

To learn more about this personality we invited a past guest of the podcast and student with Influential U, Tiran Jackson, who also happens to be a Producer Personality. Tiran is a professional speaker, author, engineer, life-coach, and a subject matter expert on resilience and helps his clients overcome their greatest adversities. You can learn more about him and the great things he’s doing by visiting RebornResilient.com. In this episode, Tiran will tell you about his worldview as a Producer Personality and share a deeper understanding of where this personality is an asset and where it may be a liability.

This episode we'll explore the Inventor Transactional Personality. This particular personality is skilled in vision and inventing big futures. Their Superpowers are the ability to be idea-oriented people who are self-reliant and highly subjective in their thinking. Their Kryptonite, however, is that they may tend to halt transactions with new ideas or a need to control everything, and they may do so to the detriment of their relationships and judgments.

To truly get inside the mind of an inventor we have a special guest, Influential U Consultant, Cesar Idrovo, who happens to identify as an Inventor Personality. He'll share his worldview as an inventor and share a deeper understanding of where his transactional personality is an asset and where it may be a liability.
