How do you earn respect?
We often hide behind credentials, but genuine respect is earned by those bold enough to solve problems, lead with intention, and communicate effectively.
On this episode of IMPACT, Meghan is joined by Sam Horn, an accomplished author of 9 award-winning books, an impactful speaker and expert in powerful language who has coached entrepreneurs all over the world. Sam believe one of the best ways we can disrupt the way we do business is to disrupt the way we communicate and together with Meghan, redefines what it means to be a "powerful leader."
Respect is never demanded, it’s earned. How you communicate outweighs what you are communicating. Every interaction either builds a relationship or undermines it. Proper communication can empower you and your audience.
Can you summarize your vision in 60 seconds? That’s how quickly you lose the attention of your audience! Sam teaches you how to get attention and hold it and how to harness your power through her leadership framework.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from a master of intrigue about earning the respect you deserve and becoming a leader with impact!

“Use the word imagine. The word imagine pulls people out of their preoccupation because they’re picturing your point! They’re not distracted, they’re seeing what you’re saying.”
-Sam Horn
“We can either reflect what is happening or we can direct what is happening, and if we are paying attention to the nuance, and to what we do want, instead of what we don’t, we often can say something that will facilitate that.”
-Sam Horn
“In the real world, there are times we are the messenger of bad news, and we can’t change the bad news. We can change the way we deliver the bad news, so at least people know that we care, instead of shrugging our shoulders, not my fault, don’t blame me, nothing I can do.”
-Sam Horn
“Richard Branson said, time is the new money. And I think that time is a new trust and the clock starts ticking the second we stop talking. So if we hit the ground running, then people's eyebrows go up and we have earned their respect because we've already delivered value.”
-Sam Horn
"A huge part of leadership is about listening and reading the room."
-Sam Horn
“The language we use is so important, as it can either create a sense of powerlessness or empowerment in ourselves and others.”
-Sam Horn
"The through line from power to powerful and the thing that enables the zipline from one to the other is work on or acknowledgement of your self-worth. And the deeper your self-worth goes, the easier it is to move towards places that make you powerful as opposed to hanging onto power."
-Dr. Meghan Walker
"When we have a rising tide mentality, power is just defined as the ability to get things done. And if we want to get things done, then the more we enlist people and cooperate with them and make it a win for them, the more they will want to do this instead of they have to, or they're being paid to or they're being told to."
-Sam Horn
"Our role and goal in life is to be a peacemaker and to see how we can use language and set an example so other people respond in kind."
-Sam Horn

“You have to be very clear on the values you bring to the table so you know whether you have alignment from the person across from you.”
-Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you are constantly asking for proof itself or you're finding your patients are constantly asking for proof when they walk into your office, I want you to check in around where the fracture is with respect to trust.”
-Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you are curious about where you might be sabotaging your own success, one of the places I would look at is how consistently you have followed through on your commitments.”
-Dr. Meghan Walker
“A self-authorized state is the consequence of trusting yourself. Trusting that you are in the right place at the right time. Doing the work so that you have the power, and strength to hold a presence in a particular room. Whether that is across from your client or whether that is in decision-making in your business. This ownership of authority is sometimes something we have not been socialized to have.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you make the decision to hand power to this lateral validation crew, then what happens is, you are giving permission to their opinions to set your standard for success.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
“If you decide that the opinions of your colleagues matter, then what happens is, you’re going to be held back to the lowest common denominator level.”
Dr. Meghan Walker
This week on IMPACT, Adele Tevlin is shaking things up with a conversation that may trigger some female entrepreneurs. It's time to stop reacting and start setting boundaries that protect your values.
Are you struggling to express your boundaries? Adele has a powerful message for you. When it comes to contracts, there must be mutual love and respect for each other's non-negotiable values. Adele will shift your understanding of contracts and reveal what happens when you cross boundaries in business.
As a holistic nutritionist and mindset coach for female entrepreneurs, Adele understands the power of contracts as a sacred tool that upholds a code of conduct, even when emotions run high. When you fall out of alignment with the divine feminine and begin acting from the wounded feminine, you may fall into destructive patterns.
In business, anger is a destructive force, but Adele has the solution. By formulating a contract that protects your values, you can avoid toxic behaviors like manipulation and aggression with your associates. Setting boundaries is an act of love for yourself and those who enter into a contract with you. It's time to start operating with integrity and create a sacred contract that truly supports your success.
Ready to become solution-oriented and balance your boundaries with empathy? Don't miss this enlightening conversation with Adele Tevlin.

“When a woman is in her healthy feminine, she’s powerful. When she’s in her divine feminine, she’s grounded, she’s powerful, she’s full of integrity, she’s in her most mature state, but when a woman is in her fractured feminine, and she’s got her back against the wall or she’s triggered, she goes into things like being a victim. She goes into behaviors like manipulation.”
Adele Tevlin
“It’s all unicorns and rainbows when you’re happy, but the minute something goes wrong, all of us are primordial minds that will go into defensiveness or reaction, so intelligence is actually low. The contract is there to serve as that sacred template, no matter what the circumstances are.”
Adele Tevlin
"Boundaries are compassionate. Boundaries are an act of love. Boundaries are a communion between two people that says, "I respect you, you respect me."
Adele Tevlin
“What am I telling my consciousness if I don't uphold my contract? My contract means nothing. And for me, my word is law.”
Adele Tevlin
"When we can heal collectively as women we have the power to really change not just the world but the fabric of how women do business together and the impact that we can have.”
Adele Tevlin
"Most people operate their business with standards rather than boundaries."
Adele Tevlin
"There's a part two of this conversation which is how to have difficult conversations cuz we're not good at that. So I think sometimes we resort to manipulation because it saves us from having to have a challenging conversation. And in our own mind it reconciles the situation to make it the other person’s fault.”

Debt! The conversation no one wants to have but nearly everyone is a part of. This week on IMPACT, host Meghan Walker welcomes back Mary Shores, a 2nd generation debt collector and author of Conscious Conversations. Whether you’re in debt or struggling to recoup payments from clients, this episode will give you insight into the emotional aspect of debt collection and impact your approach to finances within your family and business.
Mary teaches entrepreneurs how to approach the conversation of debt with empathy while still being firm on their expectations. Debt collection is not sexy but is vital to your company’s survival. In this episode, you will hear about the challenges small business owners face when clients fail to uphold their end of the sacred contract.
This episode is a reminder that you are dealing with human beings who may be facing financial hardship beyond their control, and how you approach them could be the difference between recouping your money or taking a loss. For the clients on the other end of the conversation, this episode will shift your perception of debt collectors who are simply trying to make a living.

Debt is not the enemy. It's not bad to owe money. You can look at debt as an investment. If you take on debt because it's an investment in yourself or in your business that should be looked at as a very healthy thing. That is a resource that we have a privilege to have, but we shouldn't make the loan the bad guy.
-Mary Shores
“It can feel like someone has taken advantage of us. It can feel all different kinds of ways, but I think we don’t talk about it, and what we really need to do is have solutions in place, understand this as a business function and a business role, make plans for it accordingly, but more importantly, learn to let go of it!”
-Mary Shores
“When you talk to someone, you're asking them questions, you’re getting them to open up. You’re getting them to discuss the emotions of it, and what we know from social psychologists is that discussing the emotions behind a feeling helps those feelings dissipate.”
- Mary Shores
"There's a deep shame associated with owing money."
- Mary Shores
"When I engage with someone and deliver a service for someone, this is like a sacred act of my life's work. Like it's not a flippant transaction for me. It is deeply meaningful."
- Dr. Meghan Walker
"How do you approach these difficult conversations?... It will get easier with practice."
- Dr. Meghan Walker
“Higher collections through stronger connections.”
