  • E7 Reconciliation and Growth From German Roots to Indigenous Dialogue | Sebastian Merz

    E7 Reconciliation and Growth From German Roots to Indigenous Dialogue | Sebastian Merz
    2025/09/08

    Sebastian Merz grew up in Germany, where the people continue to carry the reality of a dark past that has never been fully reconciled. His search for peace within his family and culture eventually led him to Canada, where he now serves as a government negotiator on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia, while also guiding his coaching clients through their own transformations.

    In this episode, Sebastian speaks candidly about the pain he carries from his German ancestry and the parallels he sees in the struggles of reconciliation with Indigenous communities. He reflects on the tension between his natural harmonizing nature and the need for healthy confrontation to be more effective as both a negotiator and a coach.

    At one point in the conversation, host Stan Ajemian pauses to recall the ancestral tribes that inhabited the area known as Denver, Colorado. This was the ancestral homeland for the Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne peoples.

    Sebastian’s story reminds us that reconciliation is never just cultural or historical, but deeply personal, and invites each of us to consider where repair is needed in our own lives.

  • E6 From Professional Skier to Life Reimagined After Nearly Dying | Eric Davis

    E6 From Professional Skier to Life Reimagined After Nearly Dying | Eric Davis
    2025/08/18

    Eric Davis was a professional alpine skier, on track for the Olympics or the World Cup circuit. Then, at just 22, he was diagnosed with both rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The illnesses and the powerful medications prescribed to treat them pushed his body to the edge, and at one point, nearly took his life.

    That near-death moment became a profound awakening. Eric recalls feeling separate from his body and from the person he had always known himself to be. In that moment, something shifted. Against all odds, he experienced a spontaneous remission of his autoimmune illnesses.

    For the past 15 years, Eric has been on a quest to understand not only what led to his illness and his recovery, but also the deeper mysteries of healing and consciousness itself. His story is raw, inspiring, and deeply human. My hope is that you’ll find insights here to guide your own journey without having to endure what Eric went through.

  • E5 Honoring His Place in the World and Embracing Uncomfortable Moments | Elias Scultori

    E5 Honoring His Place in the World and Embracing Uncomfortable Moments | Elias Scultori
    2025/08/06

    Elias Scultori began his career as a classical musician in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was later invited to perform in another musical capital, New York City, appearing on some of the world’s most iconic stages, including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.

    Despite similarities between these two international cities, Elias shares the challenges he faced in adapting to the culture of the United States. He reflects on how a shift in language and environment creates entirely new ways of seeing the world, and of being.

    He speaks beautifully about how uncomfortable moments, though often unwelcome, are powerful opportunities for growth. In contrast, comfort can lead to a fixed mindset. Rather than resisting discomfort, Elias invites us to meet it with curiosity and ask what it has to teach us. He shares how a difficult breakup and a move to Florida became fuel for his insights in claiming his proper place in the world.

    As a musician, Elias was drawn to group collaboration over solo performance, which was rooted in his core values of community and growth. Now a Master Certified Coach and coach educator, he channels those same values to support individuals, teams, and organizations in building connection and expanding their potential.

  • E4 Help Anyone. Hurt No One | Tony Latimer

    E4 Help Anyone. Hurt No One | Tony Latimer
    2025/07/16

    At age 17, Tony Latimer was the first on the scene of a major car crash and made a life-threatening decision that would shape the rest of his life. Earlier in his life, his uncle had given him the advice, “Help anyone, hurt no one,” and “You never want to get to the end, when it’s too late, and look back and say, if only I had…” He also observed the big and stable Catholic Church change its mind on issues, from which he learned that he could challenge anything.

    These lessons gave him the courage to make bold moves in his life and draw on an inner strength to act as though failure is not an option. This showed up in his move to the other side of the planet, and his creation of a leadership coaching business that was the basis of his development of his coach training program.

    When he had to make a similar life-threatening decision for a second time earlier this year, he noticed how much his fear had diminished and that making courageous decisions is just normal for him now.

  • E3 Overdoing His Way to a Values Driven Life | Jonathan Reitz

    E3 Overdoing His Way to a Values Driven Life | Jonathan Reitz
    2025/06/24
    Jonathan Reitz grew up hearing the message that he’s worthless and not likely to amount to much, even when he somehow knew he was capable. The message and the disconnect of it led to depression, which, when combined with his addictive personality, led to years of alcoholism. Through acceptance of himself and deep inner work, he overcame his depression, and he used his addictive personality to drive a career through radio and television to become a leader in the coaching community.More recently, he was diagnosed with ADHD and learned to embrace his divergent thinking that prevents him from staying focused on something for very long, but gives him the ability to solve big challenges creatively.Through therapy, input from people around him, and self-reflection, he lives a life driven by his values: generosity, investment, catalyzing, hope, and uniqueness.Learn more about Jonathan Reitz’ work:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jonathanreitz/Website: jonathanreitz.comFLUXIFY: fluxify.netWeatherhead School of Management: weatherhead.case.edu/executive-education/subjects/weatherhead-coach-educationTo learn more about your host, Stan Ajemian:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/stanajemianWebsite: beingthechangecoaching.comBelow is a list of values, beliefs, or personal characteristics for your consideration. Each of the steps in this process will help you identify which are most important to you and which are guiding principles in your life. It is difficult to choose, of course, because many of these values and characteristics will be at least somewhat important to you. It is also hard to choose because you might find yourself thinking, “I should value X and put it first on my list,” even though it really isn’t. So, force yourself to choose, and choose based on your true feelings, not the “shoulds” in life.You might find it useful to determine degrees of importance by imagining how you would feel if you were forced to give up believing in or acting on a particular value, belief, or personal characteristic. Or, think about how you would feel if your life really revolved around certain values, beliefs, or characteristics. How would this make you feel? Sometimes, you might find it helpful to consider two values at a time, asking yourself if about the relative importance for one over the other.Start by circling the fifteen or so values that are most important to you.Then, from this list, identify the ten that are most important to you and write them in a list.From this list of ten, circle the five that are the most important to you.List of Values, Beliefs, or Desirable Personal Characteristics:AccomplishmentAchievementAdventureAffectionAffectionateAffiliationAmbitiousAssisting othersAuthorityAutonomyBeautyBelongingBroad-mindedCaringChallengeCheerfulCleanComfortable lifeCompanionshipCompassionCompetentCompetitivenessContribution to othersConformityContentednessControlCooperationCourageousCourteousCreativityDependableDisciplinedEconomic SecurityEffectiveEqualityExcitementFameFamily happinessFamily securityForgivingFree choiceFreedomFriendshipFunGenuinenessHappinessHealthHelpfulnessHonestyHopeIndependenceImproving SocietyInnovativeIntegrityIntellectualInvolvementImaginationJoyLeisurelyLogicalLoveLovingMature LoveNational SecurityNatureObedientOrderPeacePersonal DevelopmentPleasurePolitePowerPrideRationalRecognitionReliableReligionRespectfulResponsibleRestrainedSalvationSelf-controlledSelf-relianceSelf-respectSinceritySpiritualityStabilityStatusSuccessSymbolicTaking RisksTeamworkTidyTenderTranquilityWealthWinningWisdomOthers:10 Most Important Values:Finally, rank each of your five most important values, beliefs, or characteristics, with “1” being the most important value to you, to “5” being the least important of these five important values.McKee, A., Boyatzis, R.
