Hey Rebel Reader !

If you missed the recent sessions or want to revisit some of the insights the recordings from last week’s Changing Work Author Connect Call, this week’s Practitioner Gathering, and the latest Finders & Founders conversation are now available.

Each one offers a different kind of wisdom: finding your author voice, selling with authenticity, and rebuilding confidence after a major transition.

Author Connect

The Conscious CEO Author Lab with Lisa Thomas-Tench

If you’ve ever felt called to write a book that blends purpose with profit, this conversation will light the spark.

Lisa shared her upcoming eight-month guided author coaching experience — an end-to-end process designed for leaders who want to turn their lived wisdom into a book that amplifies their mission, deepens their impact, and supports their business growth.

This isn’t just another writing program. It’s an alignment accelerator where your story becomes a strategic asset and a vessel for meaningful change.

Lisa has spent more than two decades helping thought leaders like Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network bring their ideas to life. Now she’s offering that same expertise to our community in a more accessible, soulful way.

What If Selling Became Fun and You Closed More?

Sales doesn’t have to feel forced, awkward, or “icky.”

In this session, Sebastian D. P. Hidalgo redefined what it means to sell - showing that when sales come from service, not pressure, everything changes.

He introduced his SWAT (Sales With Advanced Tactics) framework, a method that’s helped founders move from “I hate this” to confidently closing 50%+ of their deals.

You’ll learn how to:

• Stop seeing sales as self-promotion and start seeing it as connection
• Lead with authenticity and curiosity
• Build a process that feels human and still delivers results

I’ve personally trained with Sebastian, and it completely shifted how I approach selling. If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the process of enrollment, this is the replay to watch.

Finders & Founders

From Google to Quiet Rebellion with Nicholas Whitaker

A raw, real conversation about reinvention and identity after a layoff: hosted by Brice Hogan and Finders & Founders.

We explored what it means to rebuild from experience instead of fear.

A few takeaways worth sitting with:

• Confidence is a lagging indicator, it comes through consistent, small action.
• Productivity isn’t about time management, it’s about capacity management
• Reinvention begins with reflection, not reaction
• Curiosity creates connection, and connection creates opportunity

This one’s full of honesty, hope, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating transition or rediscovering what truly matters.

Upcoming from the Rebellion Collective

Quiet Rebellion in the Age of AI Reclaiming Your Capacity by Leveraging AI Intentionally
​
Thursday, October 23 | 12–1 PM PDT | Live on Zoom

ChatGPT isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s a calculator dressed up as an oracle.

The story we’re being sold is that AI will save us time.
But for most of us, it’s done the opposite. Eating up more of it while tempting us to hand over our creativity and critical thinking to a glorified prediction engine.

We’re producing more, optimizing more, and losing touch with the quiet that makes meaningful work possible.

I’ll be in conversation with Dan Cumberland, an AI strategist who understands how automation can expand creativity without erasing the human behind it.

I’ll bring the lens of sovereignty and capacity: how to reclaim your time, energy, and attention in a world that’s constantly trying to steal it.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How AI can either multiply your focus or fragment it
• What digital sovereignty looks like in real life
• Why clarity, not efficiency, is the true measure of progress
• What to automate, and what to keep deeply human

This isn’t another LLM productivity workshop.
This is an invitation to slow down, think clearly, and use AI as a tool for depth instead of distraction.

Respect for People Roadmap

Changing Work member Scott Gauvin has opened enrollment for the Respect for People Roadmap. A dynamic learning experience designed to strengthen how people work together, from the C-suite to the front line.

Unlike traditional behavior-change models, this framework focuses on building psychological safety in the daily interactions that define culture and execution.

You’ll explore three guiding principles:

• Engage with Compassion
• Treat People Like They Matter
• Partner for Mutual Benefit

Whether you join as a participant or a certified facilitator, this is a chance to deepen your practice and grow your business with a program that’s both human-centered and rigorously designed.

The next cohort begins October 31, and it’s the first step toward facilitator certification.
