  Episode 338: Be Intentional with How You Show Up

  Aug 18, 202648 min

  In a virtual world where it’s easy to click “Start Meeting” and start talking, how you show up can be just as important as what you say. We welcome the Owner and CEO of Insignia Training Partners, Bernie DeSantis III. Bernie is a virtual event consultant, leadership trainer, facilitator, and producer. We dive into a conversation about transforming virtual meetings, webinars, and training sessions into memorable experiences. Bernie shares insights from his leadership journey—including his 2022 acquisition of Insignia—and explains why leaders need to be intentional about their “virtual real estate,” from camera positioning and stage design to making audio a priority over video. We explore the difference between simply presenting information and creating an experience. Of course, no conversation with Bernie would be complete without a little fun—and the story behind his famous mustache, which has become part of his personal brand. Highlights include: Be intentional about your stage: Your camera, background, lighting, framing, and overall virtual presence are part of your “virtual real estate.” Don't prioritize video over audio: Great virtual experiences begin with clear, professional sound. How you're perceived is how you will be received: Leadership presence matters both on and off camera. Networking is about relationships, not collecting connections: Being in the right room can make all the difference. AI and technology advancements: Leaders and facilitators should lean into the qualities that make them uniquely human. Connect with Bernie and Insignia Training Partners: Visit InsigniaTraining.com and be sure to access his 'Top 10 Virtual Event Checklist' before your next webinar, virtual meeting, workshop, or online training session. Let's create more engaging and professional experiences.

  Episode 337:The Future is Predictive

  Aug 12, 202652 min

  What if the future of IT isn’t about responding faster—but about knowing what’s going to happen before it happens? David Raissipour, Chief Product & Technology Officer at ConnectWise joins us for a forward-looking conversation about how AI, agentic automation, and predictive intelligence are reshaping the managed services industry. David shares his perspective on the MSP inflection point, why traditional models of simply adding people, tools, and processes are reaching their limits, and how AI agents can help smaller MSPs compete on a more level playing field with larger organizations. The conversation explores the evolution from reactive IT to predictive IT, where intelligent systems can identify issues, reason through problems, and execute tasks before they become customer-impacting events. David also emphasizes that this transformation is not an “anti-people” approach—it’s a pro-success approach, giving technology professionals the opportunity to move beyond repetitive tasks and contribute at a higher, more strategic level. From the accelerating adoption of AI and dramatically changing response times to the importance of deciding when to buy versus build, David offers practical leadership insights for navigating this next chapter of technology. Plus, we look ahead to ConnectWise’s exciting second half of the year and invite MSP and IT leaders to join the ConnectWise AI Agentic Roadshow and Executive Forum Series for conversations around AI, operational scale, and organizational performance.

  Episode 334: Leverage & Lead with Emotional Intelligence

  Jul 23, 202646 min

  What if your greatest leadership advantage isn't your IQ, technical expertise, or business strategy—but your ability to understand your emotions? Morgane Borzée, Founder of Equanima joins the program to explore how emotional intelligence can transform the way leaders communicate, make decisions, and build stronger organizations. Drawing from her personal journey with anxiety and her passion for making psychoeducation more accessible, Morgane shares how she turned personal challenges into a global mission to help leaders move beyond autopilot and respond with greater awareness and intention. Highlights include: Why emotions are valuable data—not weaknesses—and how understanding the needs behind our emotions can unlock healthier relationships, better communication, and more effective leadership. Why leaders should build a relationship with their stress responses instead of trying to eliminate them. The five stress responses—fight, flight, freeze, submit, and attach—and how they shape behavior. The importance of distinguishing emotions from interpretations to reduce conflict. How our body can provide the first clues to our emotional state. How AI is reshaping not only work but also our sense of value and identity. Creating a shared language around emotional intelligence fosters trust, psychological safety, and high-performing teams. This is a fantastic conversation to support any CEO, manager, entrepreneur, coach, or therapist, looking for practical strategies to strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, and create cultures where both people and performance thrive.
