Our Featured Guest for Sunday, August 6, 2023 is Marcy Axelrod
Marcy Axelrod is a keynote and two-time TEDx speaker, award-winning author, TV contributor, management consultant and Creator of the Show Up System, sharing with the world what is described as “nature’s model of how humans are designed to Show Up”. Her compelling, authoritative, well-researched talks instantly shift how we work, relate, and live by establishing in 3-D what it means to “Truly Show Up!”. Her 20 years of research started when she left Wall Street, and became a leader in KPMG Consulting’s High Tech Strategy practice in Silicon Valley. Marcy’s decades of research into how people achieve, and specifically how and why people choose to Show Up, provides a new way of seeing the world. The resulting framework is already helping thousands of people live closer to their potential and enabling a wide range of companies to innovate and grow. She speaks at events and conferences around the globe. Her topics address employee and workforce engagement, innovation, creativity, strategy and business growth, as well as effectiveness, adaptability and agility in the future of work.
In her keynotes and latest book, “How We Choose to Show Up” Marcy draws upon proprietary research and applies neuroscience, psychology, evolutionary biology and behavioral economics to explain why 80% of Americans “Just Show Up”, underachieving our potential, and what to do about it. The book highlights something we’re all doing, to one degree or another – improvising through life, with more “Just show up” and less “What matters?” and “How do I make it happen?” Self-reflecting and intentful choice are often condensed, if not cancelled, by crowded schedules, tech-centricity and America’s culture. The three Show Up Skills and continuum immediately help us deepen meaning, achieving and contributing. Read more at: https://choosetoshowup.com/
