In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave sit down with transformational trainer and coach Lisa Kalmin—whose four-decade career spans corporate finance to pioneering transformational seminars—to explore how mindset, energy, and deep self-awareness reshape our relationship with money. Lisa shares personal stories—from earning as much as her hard-working retail-manager father by age 28 to using affirmations and “lofty questions” to break unconscious money blocks. She defines transformation as a shift in worldview and breakthrough as a change in how you show up, emphasizing that awareness alone isn’t enough without action.

Lisa also highlights how our ancestors’ tangible exchanges (furs, coins, cash) have evolved into invisible, energy-based transactions—credit cards, mobile palm-scans, even cryptocurrency—and how this intangibility demands a new vibrational alignment if we want money to flow. She offers concrete tools: identify and name your unconscious beliefs, use spoken affirmations or questions to reset your “money thermostat,” and foster resilience and creative thinking in the next generation so they can navigate an AI-driven, information-saturated world.

In this edition of The Coaching Edge Podcast, cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Irena O’Brien unpacks the latest research on how our brains create lasting behavior change. Drawing on Richard Boyatzis’ work, she explains why coaches (and leaders) should spend roughly two-thirds of every conversation in the default-mode network—the space of vision, imagination, and the Positive Emotional Attractor—before shifting to the task-focused central-executive network.

Listeners will learn practical ways to toggle between these networks, including heart-rate-variability breathing, self-compassion practices, and bringing personal values to the forefront. The result? More creativity, energy, and sustainable change—for clients and coaches alike.
