In this episode of the Podcast, I sit down with Reba Parker, author of “The Peaceability Mindset,” to discuss practical tools for cultivating peace, which is something we need a lot more of right now. Listen in as we reimagine what “peace” really means, breaking it down into actionable steps like building safety, nurturing well-being, and fostering interconnectedness. Reba Parker explores how our perceptions have shaped what peace looks like, and how we can redefine it for ourselves, our families, and our teams. If you’re searching for real-life strategies to create a more grounded, harmonious environment at work or at home, this is your opportunity to start your peace journey!</p><p><strong>Reba's Bio: </strong></p><p>Reba Parker is a highly respected sociology professor, peace advocate, and community organizer with over 25 years of teaching experience at institutions including the College of Charleston and The Citadel. Known for her groundbreaking work in peace studies, Reba has redefined peace as a practical, measurable process that individuals can incorporate into their daily lives. Her innovative approach has inspired students and communities to view peace not as a distant ideal but as an achievable skill set for personal growth and societal harmony.</p><p>Reba’s expertise lies in combining sociology with applied peacebuilding, a mission she has championed through teaching, writing, and community leadership. She founded Charleston Peace One Day, a nonprofit organization that brought peace education to life through citywide festivals, creative campaigns, and the planting of over 25 peace poles in Charleston and at institutions like The Citadel. She also co-created a conflict resolution curriculum for at-risk youth in partnership with college students, empowering young people to break cycles of violence. Her dedication has been recognized with numerous awards, including the College of Charleston’s inaugural Distinguished Adjunct Faculty Teaching Award and <em>Charlie Magazine</em>’s 50 Most Progressive award.</p><p>Reba lives in Portland, Oregon, with her wife and has three children and two dogs. When she’s not teaching or writing, she nurtures her creative spirit by tending to her vineyard, playing the ukulele, and participating in a weekly writers’ group.</p><p>For practical insights on integrating peace into your life and community, visit her at</p><p><u><a href="https://thepeaceabilitymindset.com./" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thepeaceabilitymindset.com.</a></u></p><br><p><strong>Marli Williams</strong> is an international keynote speaker, master facilitator, and joy instigator who has worked with organizations such as Nike, United Way, Doordash, along with many colleges and schools across the United States.

This episode of the <em>Marli Williams Podcast</em> features celebrated keynote speaker Richard Newman, who peels back the layers on what it really means to be an <em>influential leader</em> in today’s noisy world. Tune in as Marli and Richard explore game-changing topics like breaking through communication habits, the role of “armor” in leadership, and why reading the room is a non-negotiable skill. </p><p>Curious about the six paths of influential leadership or how stillness can actually supercharge your presence? Get ready for actionable insights and fresh perspectives that could transform how you lead, present, or facilitate—whether you’re on a stage or in a boardroom. Hit play and discover what might be quietly holding you back—and what to do about it.</p><p>At 16 years old, <strong>Richard Newman</strong> was a shy introvert with a fear of speaking, who struggled to join conversations, let alone inspire people. Today, he stands on stages from LA to Paris and Bangkok, empowering audiences like yours to turn their ideas into impact through storytelling and communication. He’s the author of two books, <em>You Were Born to Speak</em> and <em>Lift Your Impact</em>, and the Founder and CEO of Body Talk, a multimillion-dollar global coaching consultancy that has trained over 150,000 people. His scientific research on communication is published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychology. </p><p>His journey to becoming a communication expert and keynote speaker has taken him through living in a Tibetan monastery where he and the monks could only communicate non-verbally, studying 200+ books on communication, and training at the leading drama school in the UK. He then founded Body Talk, leading his expert coaching team for over 25 years. To learn more about Richard’s work go to, <a href="https://richardnewmanspeaks.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">richardnewmanspeaks.com</a>. </p><p><strong>Marli Williams</strong> is an international keynote speaker, master facilitator, and joy instigator who has worked with organizations such as Nike, United Way, Doordash, along with many colleges and schools across the United States. She first fell in love with transformational leadership as a camp counselor when she was 19 years old. After getting two degrees and 15 years of leadership training, Marli decided to give herself permission to be the “Professional Camp Counselor” she knew she was born to be. Now she helps incredible people and organizations stop waiting for permission and start taking bold action to be the leaders and changemakers they’ve always wanted to be through the power of play and cultivating joy everyday.

Mary Lou's journey from having 16 cents in her bank account to becoming a 7-figure business owner is nothing short of inspiring.</p><p>In our conversation, we dive into the fascinating ways our brain is hardwired to keep us safe and how survival experiences can shape our perception of wealth and safety. Mary Lou explains that in order to strive for a wealthier future, we need to acknowledge and regulate our emotions and nervous system responses. We discuss practical activities like breath work, tapping, and grounding that can help in this regulation process.</p><p>An essential part of manifesting wealth, as Mary Lou emphasizes, is cultivating a sense of safety and practicing receiving. These elements help us come from a place of gratitude and openness, which are crucial when creating a compelling vision for the future. We also talk about the importance of acknowledging our own worth and completeness in the present moment, which allows us to create from a place of wholeness rather than desperation.</p><p>Our beliefs play a powerful role in our lives, especially concerning money. Mary Lou shares insights on aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with our desired outcomes.

Mary Lou's journey from having 16 cents in her bank account to becoming a 7-figure business owner is nothing short of inspiring.</p><p>In our conversation, we dive into the fascinating ways our brain is hardwired to keep us safe and how survival experiences can shape our perception of wealth and safety. Mary Lou explains that in order to strive for a wealthier future, we need to acknowledge and regulate our emotions and nervous system responses. We discuss practical activities like breath work, tapping, and grounding that can help in this regulation process.</p><p>An essential part of manifesting wealth, as Mary Lou emphasizes, is cultivating a sense of safety and practicing receiving. These elements help us come from a place of gratitude and openness, which are crucial when creating a compelling vision for the future. We also talk about the importance of acknowledging our own worth and completeness in the present moment, which allows us to create from a place of wholeness rather than desperation.</p><p>Our beliefs play a powerful role in our lives, especially concerning money.

After getting two degrees and 15 years of leadership training, Marli decided to give herself permission to be the “Professional Camp Counselor” she knew she was born to be. Now she helps incredible people and organizations stop waiting for permission and start taking bold action to be the leaders and changemakers they’ve always wanted to be through the power of play and cultivating joy everyday. She loves helping people go from stuck to STOKED and actually created her own deck of inspirational messages called <a href="https://www.marliwilliams.com/shop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">StokeQuotes</a>™ which was then followed by<a href="https://www.marliwilliams.com/shop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> The Connect Deck</a>™ to inspire more meaningful conversations. Her ultimate mission in the world is to help others say YES to themselves and their big crazy dreams (while having fun doing it!)
