Maren Perry Maren Perry; Founder & CEO, Arden Coaching. Dynamic, relatable, smart guest for podcasts on the HUMAN SIDE of LEADERSHIP. Expert in executive coaching, leadership, and making the host look great! f your audience is tired of leadership advice that sounds like it was written by a committee, we’re going to get along. My style is direct, smart, and just light enough to make even the tough topics go down easy. I’ve been told I bring energy and charisma to the table — the kind that makes people lean in, laugh a little, and most importantly, take something useful back to their teams on Monday morning. (Think less “trust fall exercise,” more “let’s solve the problems that actually keep you up at night.”) I’m Maren Perry, Founder and CEO of Arden Coaching. For nearly two decades, I’ve partnered with CHROs, VPs of HR, and senior executives across some of America’s largest companies to design leadership development that actually sticks. Not the “check-the-box” kind of training, but the kind that transforms people — and by extension, organizations. Here’s what your audience can expect from me: not just the “what” and the “why,” but the “how.” How to make leadership development practical instead of theoretical. How to engage senior leaders in coaching when their calendars (and egos) are already full. How HR and talent executives can partner with coaching to make a measurable difference in retention, culture, and performance. I’ve seen this in action. One client organization I’ve worked with for over a decade grew tenfold while simultaneously transforming its culture. By coaching leaders at every level — from the C-suite to rising managers — we helped build a workplace where people wanted to stay, contribute, and grow. That’s the power of investing in leadership as a competitive advantage. I bring a unique perspective that blends science and humanity. My background in cognitive science means I understand how the brain works under stress, how habits form, and how people actually change. Pair that with thousands of hours coaching senior leaders in industries from healthcare to finance to Major League Soccer, and you’ve got a recipe for conversations that are both insightful and practical. If your listeners are HR leaders, senior executives, or anyone responsible for building the next generation of leaders, they’ll walk away with fresh insights, actionable strategies, and a new way of looking at leadership. Because leadership isn’t just about business results — it’s about people. And when leaders get that right, everything else falls into place.

Vitalii Khyzhniak Social Shopping Expert | TikTok Shop Strategist For 8+ years, I've been in the trenches—Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Shopify—building the systems that turn platforms into profit centers while most brands were still figuring out their first marketplace listing. I hired my first team when "discovery commerce" was just a theory. Today, I lead over 100 specialists and manage strategy for brands like SanDisk, Faber-Castell, and Mellanni. I don't chase trends. I build frameworks. While others talk about going viral, I'm building scalable affiliate pipelines, hero-product strategies, and repeatable content systems that generate predictable revenue—not lucky moments. I've watched ecommerce shift from intent-based search to discovery-driven platforms, and I've rebuilt entire operational models to match. Based between the U.S. and Poland, I bring a global lens most strategists miss. My work lives at the intersection of performance, operations, and team leadership—helping founders and growth leaders move beyond traditional playbooks and build systems that actually perform. No fluff. No agency pitch decks. Just actionable frameworks, real data, and strategic clarity for brands ready to scale in 2026 and beyond.

Michelle Pippin From Repair Shop to Research: A Thought Leader's Perspective on What the Automotive Industry Teaches Us About Leadership and Gender Women don’t usually plan careers in the automotive industry, yet many build long, meaningful careers there without formal preparation or clear pathways. I know this because I lived it. I entered the industry unexpectedly, learned the work on the job, and eventually moved into leadership within independent automotive repair organizations. Along the way, I began to notice patterns in how women were recruited, trained, promoted, and retained, often through informal systems that were never designed with them in mind. To better understand those patterns, I stepped into doctoral research focused on women’s career paths in male-dominated industries, using the automotive repair industry as my primary context. My work examines how women develop credibility, acquire complex knowledge, and grow into leadership roles without clear pipelines or formal support structures. I bring both lived experience and research-informed insight to conversations about career development, leadership, and workplace culture. Podcast audiences gain practical value from these conversations because they help women make sense of experiences they often struggle to name. I speak to women navigating unplanned career paths, learning in high-pressure environments, and leading teams while managing credibility, relationships, and expectations. Listeners walk away with clearer language for their experiences, a deeper understanding of how careers actually unfold, and insight they can apply to their own leadership and professional growth. Hosts often find that this story resonates with audiences beyond the automotive industry. The themes of informal learning, leadership without a roadmap, and navigating male-dominated workplaces apply across trades, business, and organizational settings. Whether an audience is made up of women early in their careers, women stepping into leadership, or leaders responsible for developing others, the conversation offers clarity, perspective, and grounded insight rather than surface-level inspiration.

Lynnette Fritshaw Always stand in your power, and have the courage to speak your truth. Trauma Coach • Author • Retired Firefighter I’m Lynnette Fritshaw—retired career firefighter, trauma coach, author of ‘You’re On Your Own’, and the first female career firefighter in my hometown department. But the part that matters most to your audience isn’t the title .. it’s the truth beneath it. I spent nearly two decades breaking barriers in a male-dominated world that was not ready for me. Behind the uniform was a woman carrying invisible injuries: bullying, discrimination, misogyny, toxic leadership, and years of silence that cost me my identity, my voice, and my well-being. What your audience will connect with is not just the hardship, but what came after: the rebuilding, the perspective shift, the self-ownership, and the fire it takes to rise from what tried to destroy you. Today, I teach people how to reclaim their power after trauma by challenging their beliefs, owning what role they are playing in their own suffering, and breaking patterns of silence and self-abandonment. I show people how to stop living from fear and survival .. and start living and thriving from truth. And I bring something most speakers can’t: the personal experience to back every lesson I teach. I lived it before I taught it. I didn’t read about resilience .. I bled for it. I didn’t study adversity .. I survived it. I truly believe I was given this mountain to show others that it can be moved. Your audience will walk away with a real, relatable story of adversity in a world that told me I didn’t belong and I was on my own, a trauma-informed understanding of why people stay silent, stuck, or powerless, tools to regulate their nervous system and reclaim control in overwhelming moments, empowerment to stop abandoning themselves and start choosing their own voice, and hope and proof that it’s possible to rise, even when the system is built against you! Whether your show focuses on mental health, resilience, women’s empowerment, healing, leadership, first responders, personal development, or transformational storytelling, I bring a message that resonates with anyone who has ever felt underestimated, powerless, voiceless, or alone in their struggle.

Kern Carter Novelist and Entrepreneur making a living with words. I'm living a dream. I told myself at 8 years old that I would be a novelist and that is exactly the life I'm living today. That said, it took a lot to get here. I dropped out of high school at 18 when I became a father. But I believed so much in the power of education that I found a way to earn my final credit then accepted a full athletic scholarship to play basketball at a university in Upstate New York. University is where I started writing my first novel in earnest. After self-publishing my first two books, I secured an agent and signed my first publishing deal in 2021, then two more in 2022 with Penguin and Scholastic. I currently have multiple publishing contracts. I also have a thriving creative business that includes Film Production (one of my films is on Amazon Prime Video), Ghostwriting, and building platforms for emerging writing and creative talent. My story is all about perseverance and strategy. I didn't get here by accident. I planned each step of my journey with precision and now I'm living the live I've always dreamed of.

Ange Dove Feeling overlooked? Simply start showing up. I've left millions on the table because I did not leverage my personal brand. It's an expensive mistake that I want to make sure no up-and-coming business owner makes. I was crippled with insecurity, hid behind my business brand, fell apart in front of the camera, left decades with no photos of me because I refused to be seen, and paid the price in my business. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen to your guests and that they get known for one thing with a message that's crystal clear. Building my copywriting business offline over 20 years ago, I transitioned it to a fully online business in 2016, bringing fixed overheads down from $80,000 per month to just the few hundred dollars it takes to run the subscriptions for my online tools, and giving myself the freedom to run my business from anywhere on my terms and around my lifestyle.

Lisa Haynes Retired and Killin' It: The Ultimate Retirement Plan I remember the moment I decided to retire. It wasn’t a long, drawn-out process. An executive coach I was working with asked me a few questions to help me think about what I wanted in my next role. After I sat down and completed the exercise, it hit me: I didn’t want another role. I was ready to retire—and to finally do other things I had put off for years. After I retired, I was invited to speak on a leadership panel at MBA’s mPowering You conference. On that stage, I told the audience, “I’m retired and killin’ it.” That moment stuck with me. Later, I became a certified executive coach and discovered retirement coaching—a field focused on helping people prepare for and transition into retirement, emphasizing the non-financial side of this life stage that so many overlook. That led me to create the KILLIN’ IT formula and write the book Retired and Killin’ It to help others navigate life after work with clarity and purpose. An estimated 14.8 million Boomers will retire in the next five years—and most are unprepared for what comes after the paycheck stops. I’m here to help them step confidently into this next season, using my KILLIN’ IT formula to build purpose, connection, and joy in the years ahead.
