This episode, we are welcoming Dr. Daphne Thompson and Marne Power to our Legends on Legends Series on the Influential U Podcast.

Dr. Daphne Thompson is the owner of ConnectingMedicine, out of Melbourne, Australia where she has over 35 years of experience in both biomedical research and chinese medicine. At her clinic, she offers acupuncture, chinese herbal medicine, and chinese massage and specializes in women’s health, bowel disease and digestive problems, pain management, respiratory disease, and all kinds of chronic conditioins that do not respond to conventional treatments.


Marne Power is a Senior Program Faculty member at Influential U, where she leads and coaches our faculty in facilitating the Fundamentals of Transaction program. She is also the CEO and Principle Owner of MPower Consulting out of Charlottesville, Virginia, where she is a productivity consultant and executive coach for Department Chairs, Senior Leaders, and Academic Clinicians within the healthcare field.


At Influential U, we teach you how to take charge of your career and amplify your professional influence. Since 2009, we have helped thousands of business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs, become more influential, more rewarded, and more you.


This episode is a continuation of our “Legends on Legends'' series. At Influential U, we have a group that is held in our highest regard and admiration- this group is our Esteemed Alumni. Esteemed Alumni are those who have completed our four-year curriculum in transactional competence. The most ambitious of our Esteemed Alumni, our Green Berets, if you will, study in a program known as Legends. Our Legends are often top performers in their fields and have experienced a level of satisfaction that only comes from years of deliberate practice and study. This program is led in fellowship with co-founders Kirkland Tibbels and John Patterson and this initiative includes a wide range of strategies to advance and expand their own application of Transactional Competence and pave the path in the study of Transactional Leadership.


Over the course of the next few months, we’ll have special episodes of the Influential U Podcast. I’ll be introducing our two guests and then getting out of the way so that you may experience the expertise and communication between two of our participants. If you listen closely, I believe that you’ll hear a level of Transactional Leadership that is quite novel in day to day conversation.
