In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Brownell Landrum. Brownell is a writer, a songwriter, living a nomadic life, and she's a thinker too.  A couple of years ago, she wrote a book about forgiveness, looking at the healthiness of forgiving somebody, what it means for you, what it means for them, and when should you forgive? And also when would it probably be better not to forg...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Katherine Lazaruk.  The first time I met her, I thought, “Wow, this woman is really powerful”. She's got a charismatic, powerful aura, so you really sit up and take notice. When someone comes across like that, it’s easy to believe they were always that way, but Katherine has had her own journey and she’s sharing that with us today.  We’re...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Dr. Ty Wenglar.  Ty spent 10 years in a really fascinating situation where he was both at the bottom of a power ladder in one organization and at the top of a power ladder in another. Both at the same time. So that gave him a fascinating insight into leadership, what works, what doesn't, what's really effective, what drives a company...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm doing something a little bit different.  Earlier this week, I was doing one of my writing experiments.

So here it is. 23-01-2024 Conversations about Power with Lynn Coleman Episod...

In this Conversation About Power, I’m talking to Lauren Scalf.  I've known Lauren for about six or seven years in this great internet universe.  We keep interacting with each other in different ways, and I hold her personally responsible for my complete Outlander obsession 😉  Today, we're taking a deep dive into identity and power. Now, Lauren is a gentle, wise person who has thought a...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm going to be sharing what I learned during my recent trip to Phoenix in Arizona. I went there for the Business By Design (BBD) Live event on December 5th, 6th, and 7th—and let me tell you, it was quite the journey. I’m talking a nine-hour flight to Atlanta, another four hours to Phoenix, and oh, a cold that decided to tag along for the ride. So, bear with...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking about change. This has been spurred on by the fact that this week I'm going to the States for the first time in 30 years. I lived in Texas in 1993-1994, and found a lot that I loved there (and some things I really didn’t like at all).  Returning so many years later has made me think about what will have inevitably changed and about change in...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking about power imbalances, in the light of what I've seen happening in Amsterdam over the last week.  On the 7th of November, a football match took place in Amsterdam between Ajax (the local team) and Maccabi Tel Aviv. There were scuffles and problems before the match, including a Palestinian flag being removed. The match itself was quiet, but a...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm reflecting on what's just happened in the US, on the elections, and what we can do about it.  How do we hold on to our feelings of power when there's been such a massive power shift? How do we find peace and what can we learn from this? 07-11-2024 Conversations about Power with Lynn Coleman Episode 046: So what now? Reflections on Power Shifts E...

Today’s Conversation About Power is a meeting of two language-nerd minds.  I'm talking to Kasia Krasucka, who started off as a language teacher and has since moved into coaching.  Now, she did this for very much the same reasons as I did. It's because we both realized that sometimes people find it hard to do what they really want to do. And that there can be all kinds of things holding y...

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Zen Benefiel.  Zen Benefiel is the very first man that I've interviewed on the podcast, which is exciting of itself, but we're also going to be hearing about his spiritual experiences that started at a very young age.

In this Conversation About Power, I'm reflecting on the last set of episodes and why, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to change your mind. Episode 42 could turn out to be the answer to life, the universe and everything, but you'll have to listen to find out (if you’ve never heard of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, hey, you’re still welcome to listen). 09-10-2024 Conv...

In today's Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Shirley Buck.  Shirley is a delightful person to talk to.  She can be light hearted and can talk about all kinds of things.  It's so easy to talk to her, and THAT is pretty amazing, if you think about the start that she got in life, which was really, really tough.  She's developed her own way of dealing with trauma, which isn&...

Sometimes people do things that we believe are impossible. Today’s guest is one of those people. In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Karen Vincent. Karen is a health coach. She became one, because she's come back from the other side of debilitating long COVID.  We're talking sitting in a wheelchair, unable-to-work debilitating. And she's sharing her journey with us...

I came across Elisabeth Engel at a distance four or five years ago. And I remember thinking, “Wow, this woman really goes for it in her business.” But I actually only spoke to her one to one for the first time very recently.

In today's Conversation About Power, we are exploring a taboo for many women, and that is expressing your anger.  I'm exploring this with Esther de Charon de Saint Germain, who is a branding expert. She believes that we need to show up with all of us to really make the most of our marketing and our business.  So, during this conversation we get into this taboo subject, anger. We talk abo...
