In this inspiring episode of Connect with Confidence, Kerrie chats with Kevin Humphreys; former Black Hawk pilot, mental health advocate, and founder of Cor Infinitus.

Kevin shares his journey from combat missions to confronting shame and suicidal thoughts, and how he turned that pain into purpose by creating memorials that give dignity to families and hope to those at risk.

We explore:

• The link between pride, shame, and resilience
• Why self-compassion and understanding others is vital for leadership
• The power of connection. One question, one conversation can save a life

The session sparked deep thoughts on how to talk to strangers, how to create real human connections, and how simple conversations can change lives.The following day, we had the opportunity to sit down with Kerrie ma’am for a personal interview in the SCIB Conference Hall. Every answer she gave struck a chord-filled with insight, passion, and a message that stays with us: connection begins with courage.

This interview also provided us with enriching content and ideas for our upcoming edition of Glimpse Magazine, capturing not only words but wisdom.

Highlights from the Interview

• Step-Up Moments – Saying yes to unexpected opportunities, even when self-doubt creeps in.
• Courageous Communication – Speaking up when it matters most, and why it lifts others.
• The Power of Listening – A Berlin encounter with a refugee that reshaped perspectives on empathy.
• Daily Practices for Self-Awareness – The grounding power of deep breathing and journaling.
• Kindness in Leadership – Why compassion fuels clarity, innovation, and problem-solving.
• Curiosity Over Judgment – Staying open and inquisitive, even through resistance or burnout.
• A Kindness Economy – The global shift toward valuing empathy, heritage, and human connection.

• 
  

💡 This conversation is a reminder that leadership begins with self-awareness, courageous choices, and the belief that kindness truly changes everything.

In this engaging episode of "Connect with Confidence," host Kerrie welcomes Rob Ferre, a dynamic speaker and theme park enthusiast from Salt Lake City, Utah. Rob shares his philosophy of connecting deeply with people, emphasizing the importance of asking meaningful questions and avoiding "relationship arrogance." Drawing from his experiences as a global traveler and professional speaker, Rob recounts his journey to Singapore for the Asia Professional Speakers Convention. He highlights the power of authentic connections, sharing stories that demonstrate how genuine curiosity can transform seemingly mundane interactions into profound moments of understanding. One particularly compelling narrative involves a chance encounter on an airplane, where Rob's simple question, "Are you going home or to work?" led to a transformative conversation with a displaced chef from Hawaii. This story illustrates Rob's belief in giving people grace and seeking to understand their deeper stories. Rob's passion for theme parks serves as a metaphor for his approach to life and connections. He describes magical experiences at Universal Studios and Disney Sea, comparing his sense of wonder to how he approaches networking and speaking engagements. His mantra of "know someone, not everyone" reflects a commitment to meaningful, depth-driven interactions. The podcast explores themes of vulnerability, confidence, and human connection. Rob candidly discusses moments of imposter syndrome, sharing how support from his wife helped him overcome self-doubt before a significant keynote in Italy. He advocates for asking unique, thought-provoking questions that go beyond surface-level small talk. Kerrie and Rob's conversation seamlessly weaves between personal anecdotes, professional insights, and philosophical reflections on human interaction. They discuss the importance of authenticity, the value of empathy, and how genuine connections can transform both personal and professional experiences. Listeners are invited to embrace curiosity, approach interactions with openness, and recognize the extraordinary potential in seemingly ordinary moments of connection.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear or self-doubt – and who hasn’t? – this conversation is for you.

I’ve been looking forward to this episode with Margie Warrell for a while. 😀

Margie brings such deep wisdom and realness to conversations about courage, leadership, and growth. When she’s not being interviewed or speaking about her new book The Courage Gap, she’s in significant conversations with congressional chiefs and other leaders in fast-changing environments – helping them lead with courage and clarity in complex times.

We talked about everything from the “timidity tax” to post-traumatic growth, and some personal stories that shaped us both. It’s a rich, honest conversation about rising above fear and showing up with empathy – for ourselves and others.

A few highlights from this episode:

• What the timidity tax is, and how it silently impacts our lives and leadership

• How post-traumatic growth can emerge from the hardest experiences

• Why empathy and self-compassion are essential, not optional

• The healing power of sharing your story – and writing to serve, not to impress

• Choosing love, power and a sound mind over fear

• Courageous conversations – why we need them now more than ever.
