The Transition Bridge Podcast

Is it possible to have a career that fulfills you and also brings you joy? My guest, Stephen Shortt, is here to answer that question. Stephen Shortt is an Irish entrepreneur, speaker, and career expert known as the HAPPY People Guy. His mission is simple: to make the world a better place with happy people in fulfilling, rewarding careers. He built the HAPPY framework not as a product, but as a lifeline — during a period when things weren't going the way he wanted, and he needed to figure out what actually mattered. Drawing on psychology, behavioral science, and hard experience, he distilled it into five elements: Highlights, Appreciation, Progress, People, and Your Contribution. The core idea is that happiness is progress towards purpose.  Through the HAPPY People Project, Stephen runs workshops and speaks at conferences, helping high achievers stop chasing the wrong finish line — and get clear on what they actually want, not just what they think they're supposed to want.  He's a member of Entrepreneurs' Organization, a former GSEA Global Chair, and runs ETC Consult in Dublin. He lives in a three-generation home with his wife and two daughters — and is quietly building the life on his own Happy Life List. He founded the Happy People Project and created the Happy Work Life MAP, a framework to help individuals and teams align work and life by design, not by default. In our episode today, Stephen unpacks the framework of his Happy Work Life MAP and how he specifically helps individuals and teams. He is also a career and talent specialist as well as a family business facilitator.    CONNECT WITH STEPHEN  Website - https://happypeopleproject.com / stephenshortt.com   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – [email protected] Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial   Check out my online course!

You are a seasoned and established leader, and opportunity knocks at your door for another level of authority.    What happens if you say yes to your next transition in leadership? My guest, Amy Throw, answered this call and is here to share her experience. Amy has spent over 15 years in the styling and fashion industry, helping women build confidence, poise, and influence by aligning who they are with how they are experienced in every room they enter.    Although widely recognized as an expert fashion stylist and Executive Presence Coach, she joins us today to pull back the curtain on a different kind of transformation. A significant leadership transition. Recently, a promotion took her from leading a team of 20 to directing 56 people—many of whom had just been her peers. For a leader naturally wired for fast-paced action, this next chapter demanded a complete shift in mindset.  She had to intentionally slow down, reshape her rhythm, and learn to cast a higher-level vision while developing leaders who could grow their own teams with clarity. Amy understands that even the best of leaders have seasons of growth, and her story will inspire you to take that next step and increase your level of impact not only in your life, but in those you are called to lead.    CONNECT WITH AMY Website: https://www.cabionline.com/?pws=styledwithsoul Coaching Website: http://www.amythrow.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/styledwithpurposebyamy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/styledwithpurposebyamy   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – [email protected] Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial   Check out my online course!

"It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question." — Eugene Ionesco Have you ever thought about how powerful one question can be? What is behind Designing Meaningful Connections? That question is the architecture behind every session I design, every room I facilitate, every leader I coach, and every partnership I build. It is not a method. It is a belief that the most powerful thing any leader, team, or organization can do is learn to hold the conversations that matter most. This is the work. And it is available to you. Natalie Alcantara is a Conversation Architect, Executive Coach, and Strategic Advisor who works with leaders and professionals who are ready to stop performing a life that no longer fits and start building one that is entirely their own.

“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” – Unknown Grief is a topic that we need more and more insight and understanding, and my guest, Thomas Attig, will bring depth to this conversation. He comes to us today highly credentialed and has been honored with several distinguished awards for his contributions to the study of grief, bereavement, and applied philosophy.

The color and vitality go out of things, places, events, activities, and experiences.  Those closest to us can seem distant. It can feel as if chaos has broken out, even as we resent the larger world going on as if nothing has happened. Thomas Attig is the author of The Heart of Grief: Death and the Search for Lasting Love and How We Grieve: Relearning the World.  His new collection, SEEKING WISDOM IN DEATH’S SHADOWS: Collected Writings on How We Grieve, distills a lifetime of listening, reflection, and teaching into understanding and guidance for mourners, caregivers, and counselors.

Today’s episode is going to be a little different and has a unique twist, which I believe you will enjoy. My guest, Danielle Frank, is here to share from her book, “The Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting”. This is a playful, laugh-out-loud mashup of parenting truths and wine wisdom. Each chapter holds a parenting truth for your children, paired with a splash of wine culture and told through poetry written by Danielle. It is so creative, thoughtful, and funny! Before writing her book, Danielle Frank once lived life on the red carpet as an International Film Publicist for a major studio. Her path has been filled with numerous turns, from leaving her career in entertainment to spend two decades in the wine and spirits industry, to gracefully moving through a broken engagement and discovering the value of rewriting a future that looked very different from what she had envisioned.

There are transitions in life that bring a lot of pain, sorrow, and trauma. These transitions of loss are the most difficult to navigate, and for that reason, I invited Marie Crews to be my guest today. In 2017, Marie lost her son suddenly, less than 2 years after her mother’s unexpected passing. Even in her darkest hours, she refused to let grief define her.    In this episode, Marie shares: How does writing help uncover patterns and beliefs people don’t even know they’re carrying? What role do hidden beliefs play in emotional pain? And how can someone begin to rewire them to build clarity, confidence, and self-trust? How can people who feel the guilt and pressure to grieve “the right way” give themselves permission to grieve differently? Why are all-women’s retreats such a powerful space for healing, and what happens there that can’t happen in everyday life?   Her persistence in rising from profound loss, combined with years of coaching experience, uniquely qualifies her to guide women with compassion, courage, and hope. She does this all through Retreats and workshops that are centered on helping women process loss.   Connect with Marie: Website: www.mariecrews.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marieeurecrews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@empowermentandgriefguide   CONNECT WITH DEBI Do you feel stuck?  Do you sense it’s time for a change, but are unsure where to start or how to move forward? Schedule a clarity call!
