Leadership Conversation - Episode 222 with Brian Doubt

Name: Brian Doubt Current title: Owner Current Organisation: Skookum Exploration Services Inc. 35+ years in the mineral exploration industry, working in many countries and climates has given me a unique experience set. I have spent so much time in camps working, building camps, managing work programs I feel like I lived most of my life in the bush. I love the outdoors, every climate and every environment is interesting to me. I love mineral exploration as well as alluvial gold mining and prospecting.

Recently I started my own company Skookum Exploration Services to better serve companies directly with expert pad-building services. I love my career and love any job involved in mining exploration!

By 2009, Dr. Schmidt began his first official education leadership position as an advisor to school principals in Abu Dhabi, UAE. From there he served as an instructional coach in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In 2018, he accepted a lower school head position at Colegio Americano de Guatemala in Guatemala City. While serving the CAG community, he completed his doctorate degree in educational leadership and published peer-reviewed research on educational leadership decision-making. Since then, and currently, he is serving as the head of upper school at Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It is Dr. Schmidt’s belief that all members of a global society should have access to robust educational programs, and it is a great honor to apply the expertise acquired in his professional and scholarly career toward building a future of life-long learners around the globe. He strives to be a leader who is deeply committed to the success of all stakeholders by being organized, informative, and supportive, utilizing coaching styles that cater to varying personalities and abilities.

Leadership Conversation- Episode 133 with Andy Lopata

Name: Andy Lopata Current title: Speaker, Mentor, and Trainer Current organisation: Professional Relationships Strategy Strong professional relationships can help to break down silos within organisations, lead to more and higher quality new leads, uncover hard to find solutions and increase efficiency in a range of areas. Unfortunately those relationships are often left to chance, leaving many failing to realise the potential their networks offer. Organisations struggle with more competition than collaboration between departments while sales teams rely on their leaders to bring in referrals as they plod on with tired attempts to find new prospects, ignoring the opportunity to build networks of their own. By knowing why you and your team are investing in relationships, it is possible to plan accordingly and get great, measurable results. For twenty years I have worked with companies on how to build, nurture and benefit from professional relationships. Working across sectors, I ha…

Leadership Conversation- Episode 130 with Jeremy Francese

Name: Jeremy Francese Current title: Founder & President Current organisation: Strategic Branding Studios Shy of 6-years ago my network started asking me for help with branding, marketing, and driving sales online. Unlike my contemporaries, all of which I respect, these folks were not Fortune 500 clients that had millions in marketing to spend. Quite the opposite. These folks were small business owners, nonprofit executives, consultants, physical therapists, you name it. They did not have a stock price to manage, they had families to support and fear about navigating the ever-changing landscape that is communicating in a predominantly digital environment. So in 2019, after 4 years of success working for free to educate and support these clients, we realized we could bring more value if we build infrastructure and deepened our creative network of professionals. So that’s exactly what we did. Fast forward to the present, I run Strategic Branding Studios education-forward full-ser…
