I have a special guest today who I reconnected with a few months ago after 10 years. Christie Flynn was a client back in 2014 when she was a health coach. We re-engineered her business and transformed her money relationship. And then we lost touch for a while, which I found out why and you will hear about that in our interview. When she found me on LinkedIn back in November 2024, I was delighted to see her direct message in my account. But something was different about her energy and the info on her profile had changed. It read Psychic Medium and Executive Coach. I said to myself...

When I choose guests for the podcast, I come from an intuitive place obviously given the purpose and premise of this show and how I operate. I also look for creatives with compelling stories – the strength of the human spirit. Being a journalist, writer, and storyteller as a foundational part of my background, I love how the story is what inspires people to relate as they apply it to their own lives and take action. So, when I met my guest In October 2024 at a women’s global networking event here in LA and listened to her story as she was introducing herself, I intuitively knew she’d be...
info_outlineAs you can imagine, being an executive recruiter requires a good amount of intuitive skill to find and hire topline talent for companies. Intuition is the leading edge when pursuing and interviewing talent.
I’m pleased to bring you my dear friend and client, Dinna Voges, Owner/President/CEO of Dinna.io to the podcast. Her leading edge in her 20+ year career is her intuition.
As you will hear, interestingly, she interacts mostly with men all day serving them as clients and candidates. Dinna helps ambitious early-stage technology companies build world class teams by finding and attracting the right talent for their crucial Go-To-Market roles, which is the customer facing needs such as Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing.
You will hear stories about how by consistently accessing her instincts, not logic, she successfully hires the right fit for the company and role. She says when she has gone against her intuition, the results typically did not bode well.
So, how often do you find this happens to you in your personal life? Work life? This is a very common concern of women. Wanting to lean into their intuition, but defaulting to their logic and critical thinking instead. If I had a dollar for every time I heard this, I’d be… well, you know the saying. Stick with us. We've got you covered.
Join us in a compelling conversation about being a driven, intuitive, high achieving woman in the tech industry and how Dinna navigates the balance of the feminine and masculine energies while fostering true partnerships and what she calls “raving fans” with her clients. She’s a pro at it. You will definitely pick up golden nuggets from her wisdom.
