SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to ConnectPodcast with guest Jill Lublin
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Jill Lublin in our 93rd Episode on Wednesday\, September 16th at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss “The Profit of Kindness: How to Influence Others\, Establish Trust\, and Build Lasting Business Relationships.” \nJill Lublin is a 25+ year Media Magnet.  She is a world-renowned publicity expert\, international speaker and 4x Best Selling author. Jill has made thousands of stage appearances alongside celebrities such as Tony Robbins\, Jack Canfield\, and Barbara Corcoran\, to name a few. She has worked with over 100\,000 clients implementing her signature formula for getting media attention and creating next-level visibility in the marketplace that results in boosted sales.  These lead and profit-generating formulas are included in her signature program\, the Publicity Breakthrough Bootcamp\, and her monthly Kindness Circles. \nWhen kindness becomes your primary goal\, everything changes: how you look at life\, what you get from it\, and how others interact with and relate to you. \nIn this presentation\, Jill helps you master the art of building trusting\, long-lasting relationships through open\, non-adversarial interchanges that result in mutually beneficial outcomes. A basic adjustment in attitude and approach can substantially improve virtually every facet of your life. Jill will provide specific examples for improving skills such as communication\, building integrity\, team work\, influencing others\, and more. \nIn order to connect with new clients or future business partners and transform your potential into success\, you need to establish trust and build strong relationships. The key is to focus more on giving and working with others rather than simply on “winning.” Because doing so is guaranteed to help you actually win. \nTakeaways from this insightful talk: \n\nLearn how to build trust-based relationships that strengthen communication\, teamwork\, influence\, and long-term business success.\nDiscover practical strategies for creating mutually beneficial connections with clients\, colleagues\, and business partners through integrity\, kindness\, and collaboration.\nGain tools to improve interpersonal effectiveness\, establish credibility\, and turn authentic relationship-building into greater professional opportunities and results.\n\nTo learn more\, go to: http://JillLublin.com \nContact Jill Lublin at: speaking@jilllublin.com \n  \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nNEW Zoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=GmbQNBBp9L8V3ZOdYnSmosUxe37Qke.1&omn=81727016997 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Rachael Barclay
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Rachael Barclay in our 91st Episode on Wednesday\, July 22nd at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, and Perplexity. \nRachael Barclay is the founder of The Savvy Digital Co.\, where she helps founders and small businesses get found and chosen in the age of AI. She spent 15 years in executive operations\, including as the youngest executive at the Columbia Tower Club\, before trading the corporate ladder for building her own thing. Now she builds the brand strategy\, automation\, and AI systems most owners don’t have time to figure out themselves. She hosts the You’re Allowed* podcast and lives in downtown Seattle with her partner and their daughter\, Luna. \nIn Rachael’s 20-minute talk she will share: Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, and Perplexity \nSearch has changed. Whether your customers ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Perplexity\, or just Google\, they’re getting one AI-written answer instead of a page of links. Is your business in that answer? In this session you’ll find out whether AI recommends you\, and the simple steps to make sure it does. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nAI doesn’t guess\, it pulls. When AI recommends a business\, it’s pulling from real sources: your Google Business Profile\, your reviews\, your website\, and what other sites say about you. Once you know the inputs\, you can control the output.\nCheck yourself before a customer does. Most owners have never searched their own business in ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Perplexity. You’ll learn the 60-second check that shows you exactly what AI is saying about you right now.\nWrite for the questions\, not the keywords. AI quotes the businesses that answer real customer questions in plain language. The old SEO playbook of stuffing keywords doesn’t work the same way here.\nRecent and trusted beats big and old. Fresh reviews and a complete profile tell AI you’re active and trustworthy today. A few recent reviews can outweigh a fancy website that nobody’s verified.\nYou can’t be your only source.

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Mari Wuellner
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Mari Wuellner in our 90th Episode on Thursday\, July 16th at NEW TIME – 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm (PST) as we discuss Living on Purpose: The Power of Granting Yourself Permission \nMari Wuellner is the CEO and Founder of The Crew Life Coaching Collective and Insurance Agency owner who has built her life around one principle: grant yourself permission. \nAt 24\, as a college dropout and single mom\, she granted herself permission to try anyway – and built her agency from zero to $3 million. Then she granted herself permission to step back and pursue coaching. She helps women stop living in a state of default and move into purpose by teaching them to grant themselves the permission slips they’ve been waiting for – permission to rest\, to say no\, to start over\, to change direction\, and to prioritize themselves without guilt.  Her mission: help people stop waiting for validation and start Living on Purpose – one permission slip at a time. \nMost of us are living in a state of default – saying yes when we mean no\, sacrificing our needs for everyone else’s comfort\, waiting for the “right time” to pursue what we actually want. We’re stuck in patterns we never consciously chose\, waiting for someone to give us permission to change. \nBut here’s the truth: no one is coming to grant you that permission. \nIn this conversation\, Mari Wuellner shares how granting yourself permission is the key to moving from default to purpose. Through powerful stories – from leaving her family on Thanksgiving when she was burnt out\, to starting her running goal with just a quarter mile\, to stepping back from her successful agency to pursue coaching. \nMari reveals the permission slips we all need to write for ourselves: \nDefine: How to get honest about what you actually want (not what you think you should want) and identify the permission slips standing in your way\nDesign: How to structure your life around your values and priorities instead of living in default mode\, constantly accommodating everyone else’s needs\nDemand: Why demanding what you want without apology isn’t selfish – it’s the only way to live on purpose and model healthy boundaries for those around you \nTo learn more go to: www.thecrewcc.com\nTo contact Mari: mari.j.wuellner@gmail.com \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nZoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=GmbQNBBp9L8V3ZOdYnSmosUxe37Qke.1&omn=81727016997 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

SUMMARY:Exceptional Connections® July Networking Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nImagine a world where people naturally contribute to each other\, knowing that when we are in service to others\, we transform lives. \nWe have a full schedule planned so please plan to arrive by 11:30am to network and enjoy a delicious Luncheon. Our event will begin promptly at Noon. \nJoin us and Connect with Exceptional Colleagues\nWe are excited Rachael Barclay  will be our July Spotlight speaker\n \nRachael Barclay is the founder of The Savvy Digital Co.\, where she helps founders and small businesses get found and chosen in the age of AI. She spent 15 years in executive operations\, including as the youngest executive at the Columbia Tower Club\, before trading the corporate ladder for building her own thing. Now she builds the brand strategy\, automation\, and AI systems most owners don’t have time to figure out themselves. She hosts the You’re Allowed* podcast and lives in downtown Seattle with her partner and their daughter\, Luna. \n In Rachael’s 20-minute talk she will share: Get Found by AI: How Small Businesses Win When Customers Ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, and Perplexity \n Search has changed. Whether your customers ask ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Perplexity\, or just Google\, they’re getting one AI-written answer instead of a page of links. Is your business in that answer? In this session you’ll find out whether AI recommends you\, and the simple steps to make sure it does. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nAI doesn’t guess\, it pulls. When AI recommends a business\, it’s pulling from real sources: your Google Business Profile\, your reviews\, your website\, and what other sites say about you. Once you know the inputs\, you can control the output.\nCheck yourself before a customer does. Most owners have never searched for their own business in ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Perplexity. You’ll learn the 60-second check that shows you exactly what AI is saying about you right now.\nWrite for the questions\, not the keywords. AI quotes the businesses that answer real customer questions in plain language. The old SEO playbook of stuffing keywords doesn’t work the same way here.\nRecent and trusted beats big and old. Fresh reviews and a complete profile tell AI you’re active and trustworthy today. A few recent reviews can outweigh a fancy website that nobody’s verified.\nYou can’t be your only source. AI trusts what others say about you more than what you say about yourself. Getting mentioned on a few trusted sites beyond your own is what moves you from findable to recommended.\n\n\nTo learn more\, go to: thesavvydigitalco.com \nContact Laurie at: rachael@thesavvydigitalco.com \n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n \n🌟 Exceptional Connections Networking Luncheons\nExciting news!  Exceptional Connections Networking Luncheons are now hosted at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse\, our new Lynnwood location! We’re thrilled to gather in this beautiful and elevated venue and we have a full\, engaging schedule planned.

As a former single mom of three—and now “Grandma LaLa” to six—Laurie understands the profound value of capturing life’s moments\, honoring our experiences\, and passing wisdom from one generation to the next. \nLaurie is passionate about helping women speak in a way that truly connects. During the pandemic\, she made a powerful discovery: many podcasters\, Zoom facilitators\, and online leaders believed they were communicating inclusively\, but their methods were unintentionally isolating listeners. Drawing from her 35+ years in broadcasting and her degree in social services\, Laurie now teaches people how to make their voices more inviting\, intentional\, and impactful. \nHer newest offering\, the 7-Day Podcast Pro program\, blends storytelling\, communication strategy\, and on-air experience to help anyone launch or elevate their podcast with confidence. \n🌱 What This Episode Is About \nEvery person has stories worth sharing—stories that heal\, connect\, empower\, teach\, guide\, and inspire. In this heartfelt conversation\, Laurie and Cyndi explore how storytelling helps us create a living legacy that lasts long after we’re gone. \nWhether you choose to record audio\, capture video\, journal your experiences\, or launch your own podcast\, your stories matter. \nLaurie reminds us that your life is made of hundreds of moments\, and each one has the power to touch someone else’s heart. Your legacy begins the moment you decide to hit record. \n💡 Key Takeaways From This Episode \n\n⭐ Support your favorite podcasts by leaving a 5-star rating and review—it makes a meaningful impact• ♻️ Content is content—reuse it\, recycle it\, reshape it\, and share it again\n• 🎤 Push record today—your family will thank you\, and your story could change someone’s life \n• ❤️ Your voice creates connection\, belonging\, and legacy \n• 🎧 Podcasting or podcast guesting is easier than you think—you just need to begin\n\nThis episode is an empowering reminder that ordinary moments become extraordinary stories—and your legacy starts with your willingness to share them. \n📘 Connect with Laurie Hardie \nLearn more about Laurie’s work\, coaching\, and podcast training programs at her website (optional to add if you have one). \nTo learn more\, go to: http://www.coachlaurie.com \n🤝 Connect with Exceptional Connections® \nBe part of a dynamic community built on meaningful relationships\, powerful conversations\, and authentic connection. \n🌐 ExceptionalConnections.com\n📧 Contact Founder & Chief Connector Cyndi O’Neill-Dady: cyndi@exceptionalconnections.com \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nZoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=RlQ0UDg5NHdDL1ZwM0V1SHU3YWQxdz09 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \n\n \n  \nNews you can use!

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Tina Tesch-Myers
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Tina Tesch-Myers in our 80th Episode on Wednesday\, September 17th from Noon to 1pm (PST) as we discuss “Cleaning the Oceans Without Leaving Home.”\nBorn in Australia to German immigrants\, Tina grew up with a deep love for nature and a big\, blended family – her twin brother Andreas\, older brother Michael\, and half-sister Claudia in Berlin. Her first calling was as a chef\, which took her across Europe and into studies in Switzerland. That journey led her to Africa for two unforgettable years.\nEventually\, Tina returned home and found peace (and passion) in Tasmania\, spending 11 years as a woodworker. But her love of human movement and healing drew her to Boulder\, Colorado\, where she trained as a Rolfer\, then later moved to Seattle to be close to the sea—her second home. \nThe biggest joy of her life? Adopting her son Joaquin from Guatemala. At just 18 months\, he chose Jeff\, her amazing husband\, to join their family—and it was the best decision he ever made. \nFor nearly three decades\, Tina has helped people feel better in their bodies—through Rolfing\, nutrition\, and now through MOVE ME\, a new adventure to clean up our oceans\, one powerful habit change at a time. \nYou don’t have to live near the Beach to clean the Oceans. Just clean your habits. Every time you refill a bottle\, refuse a plastic straw\, or choose a bar of soap over a plastic one\, you are actively reducing Ocean Waste. Home is the new Frontier. \nTina will be giving you simple changes that will only take 10 minutes a day to create a Massive change… Small changes in our daily habits create long lasting effects on our health and this magnificent Planet … for future Generations. \nTakeaways from this talk: \n\nWhere Move Me started\nWhere Plastic hides in the Kitchen\nWhere small daily changes in our daily habits can change\nSolutions to replace PLASTIC HABITS\nJoin Learn Share is all about MOVE ME\n\nTo learn more go to: https://move-me.org \nTake notes\, add questions to the chat box and join us live as we open the lines for a Q & A around the 45-minute mark\, or enjoy the replay if you are not able to attend! \nZoom Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4253468895?pwd=RlQ0UDg5NHdDL1ZwM0V1SHU3YWQxdz09 \nTo join our Zoom meeting go to Zoom.us > add Meeting ID & Password \nMeeting ID: 425 346 8895 \nPassword: CONNECT \nNews you can use!

SUMMARY:Complimentary Conversation to Connect Podcast with guest Marlee Huber
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Marlee Huber in our 79th Episode on Wednesday\, August 20th from Noon to 1pm (PST) as we discuss “How to Start a Conversation with Anyone\, Anywhere: A Guide to Meaningful Connection.”\nMarlee Huber is an author\, speaker\, coach\, and photographer who is passionate about exploring beauty\, creativity\, wisdom\, and wonder—and inspiring others to do the same. With a background as an academic librarian\, Marlee brings a researcher’s depth and curiosity to every topic that captures her imagination.

She has been happily married for 19 years and is the proud mother of four children and grandmother of five. \nIn today’s world\, leadership isn’t about having all the answers or wearing a polished mask of perfection—it’s about showing up\, even when it’s messy. In this powerful and personal talk\, Nicole Orozco explores what it truly means to lead with integrity and authenticity. Drawing from her own journey as a publisher\, speaker\, coach\, and entrepreneur\, Nicole shares how vulnerability\, honesty\, and imperfect courage have shaped her leadership style and deepened her impact. \nWhether you’re running a company\, leading a team\, or showing up for your family or community\, you’ll leave this session inspired to embrace your full self—flaws\, fears\, and all—as a source of strength. Discover how authenticity builds trust\, drives connection\, and creates resilient\, heart-centered leadership in every area of life. \nJoin us for a real conversation on showing up truthfully\, especially when it’s hard—and learn how to lead with the kind of integrity that changes lives. \nIn this talk\, Nicole Orozco shares how authentic leadership—leading with integrity\, vulnerability\, and courage—creates deeper trust and lasting impact.
