“Navigating Chaos” with Debra Eckerling
About this Episode - recorded July 28, 2025!
On this week's GoalChat, Debra Eckerling talks about Navigating Chaos with John S. Couch, author, "The Art of Creative Rebellion;" Deb Krier, Host of The Business Power Hour™; and Michele Risa, CEO of Collaborative Solutions. While John, Deb, and Michele all specialize in business leadership, the conversation definitely took a holistic and existential turn. The trio shares their chaos, as well as health stories, advice for approaching chaos, and more.
Here are my thoughts:
- What is Chaos? It's the unknown. In life, positive and negative are both sides of the same coin.
- Chaos Mindset: Observe, then pause, and determine your response.
- Life Goal: Celebrate even amid todays "gloom and doom".
- My Final Thoughts: Trust yourself and trust the world.
- Children ask 237 questions a day. As adults we lose our curiosity. What are your questions today?

"The Four P’s- Profit, People, Planet, and Purpose"
Another recorded in 2022 and still most relevant today!
Michele talks about how we can learn to love ourselves more, the importance of how our inner state affects our outer response to situations that arise. We discuss the importance of falling in love with ourselves and evaluating what's working for you and what's not.
Michele reminds us of the importance of slowing down and discusses how you can have more meaningful conversations by making key shifts in yourself. On receiving a prescription of death Michele learned to reevaluate life - to live a magnificent one, which included the importance of taking 'mental showers' to clear your mind and connect with your heart.
Finally Michele discusses how you can make that mindset shift from 1 P - Profit to the four P's - People, Planet and Purpose
