LIES

The BIG Lie is the show where guests share the long-held lie that once discovered, changed everything for them. Join us as we go behind the curtain to hear the truth, and learn how to make it work for you.

18.0 The Big Lie: Lisa Rangel - "My job is secure."

If you lost your job today, would you know what to do next? No updated resume, loss of access to your work laptop, and difficulty reaching former colleagues would undoubtedly make things more difficult. How would people you haven’t talked to in years respond when your first contact is to ask for job help? It doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us as Lisa Rangel reveals the Big Lie and what can happen when you start living the truth.

Renata Porter has a long history in various leadership roles in sectors of business, nonprofit and sports club management. After living in New Zealand for 10 years, she moved back to the US and decided it was time to start working for herself. She wanted to help others become well-connected leaders with their teams, to organise their company structurally to ensure they have theright people in the right places and to help them become more efficient through processes and a bit of rigor in their organization!

Renata also has a passion for sports - growing up as an athlete, putting herself through college on athletic scholarship and just being an all around lover of any sport really, so she started Your Sports Resource to apply what she knew to those in non-profit youth sports. When COVID-19 struck, sports teams were especially hit hard as memberships declined and worry and anxiety started to set in. That’s when Renata stepped up to help team's Boards and Volunteers with training materials, guidance and find a supportive community to grow their programs.

Bio of Luke Archer

Thank you for your interest in Verbal Aikido™. My name is Luke Archer, I am of Irish and French descent, born in Dublin in 1974. I am a writer and facilitator, specializing in communication, conflict management, and educational development. Here’s my story.

As a youth, I was regularly confronted with physical and verbal bullying. I felt different from other children, and I had low self-esteem. I understood later, these experiences were actually gifts. After school, my “geek” side led me to train as a computer systems programmer. I thought I would be safe from the difficulties of dealing with aggressive humans. Life, however, had other ideas for me…

Following my exams I arrived in France for the first time in 1994. It was the beginning of an adventure that went from being a stereotypical Irish bartender, to an IT telephone support technician, and then a language and communication teacher. This was all very far removed from my initial desire to flee aggressiveness and difficult people!

Getting out of my comfort zone had started to become a deep curiosity. It is thanks to this curiosity that I have had the chance to work with a diverse audience: schools, children from disadvantaged countries, CEOs of large companies, academics, pschychiatrists, and independent coaches. The approach to pedagogical accompaniment that I was experimenting with, merged Montessori with maieutics. In 2008, following the participants’ unprecedented successes in all things communicative, I managed to get the finer details of this approach down in writing, and founded the Betterfly Institute for Educational Development. This is where the story of Verbal Aikido began for me.

In May 2009, one of Betterfly’s clients, a school for health professionals, asked me to build an approach to help teachers manage difficult students. I never imagined that this request would generate such a wealth of discoveries and human encounters, both through and with aikido. By immersing myself in martial practice, in the abundance of texts on aikido philosophy, and in my personal daily practice of it, the first VA workshop was born six months later.

Over the next few years, the number of determined and creative VA practitioners grew, as did the feedback on how this practice positively affected their work- and home-lives. This in turn stimulated the need to make VA available to more… to others looking for a fun and accessible way to manage conflict peacefully. And that’s how the NGO Aïkido Verbal Lyon sprouted into being.

Today, our non-profit organization enables individuals from all over the world to train online or face-to-face in regular weekly classes. Professionals can also benefit from VA training through our Sustainable Relationship Development enterprise, newskool SAS. I continue to share writings and discoveries on this art, and manage to keep some time aside for one-to-one accompaniment… and other passions

I've worn many hats over the years- Technical Training Consultant, Network Administration Consultant, Windows Server Management Consultant, Team Lead, Manager, and Associate Director in addition to chapter leader, mentor, sponsor, and DEI strategist. As a result, I've built a strong foundation for implementing and supporting high performing and custom IT solutions. My background includes developing and modernizing functional architecture (migrating apps from on-prem to cloud) as well as enabling hybrid architecture. I've contributed to long-range financial planning for budgets up to $2M and systems with up to 35K users. What have I learned over the years? There is always a solution, sometimes many. It is important to find that right fit for that issue. So you could say I've become somewhat of a "go to,"and I welcome that role because I find this field and helping to solve problems very rewarding.

Tiffany Ann Beverlin

During her fifteenth year of marriage—and after a decade out of the work force—Tiffany was forced to recycle her life. She was repeatedly told she was unemployable since she was out of the workforce so long. After a fortuitous dream about problems selling her own engagement ring, she created a company for that purpose.

DreamsRecycled.com rose up as the marketplace that specializes in selling goods from one’s divorce. DreamsRecycled.com quickly became a gathering place for the divorce community. Today, the site consists of blogs, secondary divorce services directory and “community zones” to assist the divorce community.

Tiffany has appeared on AOL News, FOX News, CBS News and dozens of national publications and radio shows, bestowing hard-hitting advice on divorce. She is also the Author of My Dreams Recycled, and a certified Life & Divorce Coach.

Dreams get broken, but this allows us to create new, even bigger ones that ultimately, like mine, will come true!

Are you the type of person who gives so much to everyone else, that you end up with little time or energy for yourself? Do you like the feeling of taking on more and more, only to feel like you are not making any progress? Do you ever get the feeling that you could be and do so much more, if you could just find a way to invest more in yourself?

LAUNCHING POINT

The joy of eating seasonally is the joy of fresh produce and fresh foods. It’s that much more exciting when your favorite foods come back into season. I also have found that, as I’ve learned to eat more in season, I’ve lost cravings for certain foods when it’s not the right season for them. Part of that is because I know how disappointed I will be by how they taste. Of course, it’s a lot easier to eat seasonally in certain parts of the country than others, but no matter where you live, I think there are ways to bring more seasonal food into your diet.
