Chris connects with Todd Attridge, founder of Different Matters, a change agency that works with organizations primarily around creating a culture of belonging. They talk about how Todd uses Actionable to bring real impact to the organizations he serves.
Todd is a master at positioning the impact of the change programs he runs, both at the beginning of a client relationship and throughout each program. In this episode, he offers a masterclass. Listen to learn how Todd:
- Cascades behavior change activation through an entire organization,
- Redirects prospects from thinking about a weekend of facilitated content to a year-long full-scope engagement,
- Reframes his offering from “an expensive training program” to “an essential investment,”
- Delivers platform-based insights to his stakeholders in a way that gets them thinking about entirely new spaces to engage, and
- Doubles down when anecdotal evidence of change doesn’t match up with the platform data, and how he turns that discrepancy into further opportunities.
If you want to get together with Todd for one thing, it’s dinner. Also, he’s the person to talk to about how to get a cascading program off the ground. You can find him in The Hive or on LinkedIn.

Chris chats with Therese Miclot, Director of Facilitation Excellence at Proteus International, about how she drives impact with organizations to transform their training into something that’s integrated into a larger leadership and business strategy.
Therese and the team at Proteus are best-in-class when it comes to engaging their participants. She offers a glimpse into the strategies that they use to keep participants interested and engaged.
Therese emphasizes how important it is to demystify the process and make habit building easy and empowering. In this episode, you’ll hear the details on how Therese:
- Empowers her account management team to include Actionable as the standard method of learning sustainment,
- Eases clients and participants through skepticism into action,
- Strategically places the Habit Builder in a series of sessions to maximize adoption and engagement,
- Debriefs Habit Builder Commitment progress with her participant groups, and
- Uses platform tools to empower her participants further.
Therese has really greased the skids on how to position Actionable to her clients and in the room with her participants. Reach out to Therese if you’re running into challenges with positioning or platform engagement. You can find her on LinkedIn.

Chris connects with Steve Ott, founder of Ott Leadership, to talk about how Steve’s approach to building client relationships has evolved since joining the ACP community just over two years ago.
Instead of offering content, Steve’s able to offer measurable impact. He talks about how asking the question, “what kind of impact do you actually want to make?” has built his confidence and has allowed him to shift him from an order-taker to a thought leader with his clients.
You’ll hear the details on how Steve:
- re-educates his clients to help them move from content focus to impact focus,
- makes his client relationships so sticky that he can’t get rid of them, and
- has leveraged the ACP community to feel more comfortable taking risks and to feel more connected and connective as a solo entrepreneur.
If you’re looking for strategic conversation, if you want to help struggling culture within a business, or if you want to connect with another entrepreneur to commiserate, Steve is here for you. Connect with him in The Hive or via Linkedin.

What's an ACP?
Technically, we're talking about Actionable Consulting Partners; consultants who leverage Actionable.co's technology, methodology and community to prove and amplify the impact of their client work.
But in practice? The ACP network is so much more. A community of likeminded peers, focused on raising the bar on what it means to be a professional facilitator, coach or consultant. These are their stories.
