Episode 013:
How many of you say to yourself “I don’t’ like change” I hear that a lot in my profession, however I will tell you change is one of the very things you can be certainly certain is going to happen. We resist change, because it’s uncomfortable or perhaps we make up not safe. In today’s episode we are going to explore the Stages of Change, and how we can use this model to embrace change because like it or not, change is always happening, so let’s make the best of it. You have a choice to lean into change or not, and wouldn’t it be more fun to move through it in a way that you embrace it, learn from it, from a neutral place, and not let it get the best of you. Life is a roller coaster, there is uncertainty, our brain doesn’t love uncertainty, and will work hard to make sense of it. Let go of resistance, lean in to curiosity, remember life happens for us and not to us, and we can create an experience of change that may just be very different than what we expected. Curious? Let’s go embrace change in today’s episode. Here are the highlights from this episode: {1:11} The stages of change model {5:41} The 5 stages {8:02} Why we resist change {12:22} The challenge to embrace change {14:47} Three powerful questions Want to listen and learn more?

With Joan Virginia Allen You have heard me say before that leaders don’t wait, they create. We have the opportunity every single day to get out in the world and create whatever we want in our lives both personally and professionally. You first have to believe you can, that is the first step and then second you must ask yourself, will I? Will I really? As a little girl my Dad was one of my heroes, he was 100% self-made, and he lived every day to the fullest, he taught me, you can, the question is always “will you”. He instilled in me and my brothers that “age is just a number”, and you are only as old as you decide to feel”, and I have believed that every day since then. Today we get to hear from someone who for me is 100% the very example of what my Dad told me, she amazes me in what she has created in her life and continues to each and every day. Not only her story, also what she does to make a difference in people’s lives will illuminate that leaders don’t wait, they create, and age is never a barrier.

How many perfectionists or recovering perfectionists do I have out there? I am raising my hand as a constant recovering perfectionist! I love this quote by Joyce Meyer “Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don’t live in a perfect world” isn’t that the truth. And, I can’t say this enough life is much more fulfilling when we strive for excellence, because we are continuing to learn, grow, create opportunities to make mistakes, take them, and not take ourselves quite so seriously.

We have been through some beyond challenging times of recent, and just when we thought we would come up for air, it got worse. I feel called to explore Empathy Vs Sympathy, with the emphasis really being on creating empathy. Empathy has been and continues to be so wanted and needed right now in the world and I think collectively more seeking to understand before being understood would be such a great reminder. I want to credit a great man Stephen Covey for introducing the world to seeking to understand before being understood, it’s such a powerful principle that helps us take the lead in our life, and also in creating empathy. Entrepreneurs, leaders, professionals, and self-improvement seekers can use this in their day to day lives both personally and professionally, and we can all collectively lean into our empathy and connect much more in the world. Here are the highlights from this episode: {1:03} The need for empathy right now {3:10} Being vulnerable {4:21} Feeling validated {6:28} Empathy not being about creating silver linings for people {9:32} Calm as a superpower {10:22} Questions to ask yourself {15:24} Not having to be right {17:25} A challenge for you Want to listen ad learn more?

Episode 006 Does anyone still feel like they are on a teeter totter of being motivated to move vs what is actually happening during Covid-19? As the world begins to re-open bit by bit, it’s like coming out of some sort of hibernation in some ways. The constant posts from “this is the time to do more, be more, create more” to “don’t buy into the you need to be more” posts are enough to make one dizzy. Which way do we go? There is meaning we will all make up for ourselves or have made up for ourselves during this time, and we will at some level reinvent, contribute, come out different in some way. Bottom line, wherever you are in the matter is wherever you are supposed to be. Trust that and trust yourself. During this episode we will explore creating yourself vs. finding yourself. It’s about choice and action all along the way. Here are the highlights from this episode: {0:55} Being who you are authentically {4:21} Wanting someone else’s life {7:51} Having the power to choose and act {12:14} Leaning in to your Champion {15:01} Taking responsibility for who and where we are {17:40} Some helpful daily practices .Want to listen and learn more?

Episode 004:
Have you ever felt like a fraud? Do you doubt your capabilities? Most of us have, as a matter of fact. Anytime we are stretching outside of our comfort zone or hitting the next level in our lives. The question here is, are we a fraud really? Or are we doubting who we really are, and who we are for people, our purpose in life, and what we have to contribute? I believe in my whole heart we are not frauds, we are human beings having a human experience, and therefore it is natural we are going to argue for limitations from time to time. In this episode we are continuing to explore the power of choice where we take on overcoming the Imposter by leaning into our Champion. As entrepreneurs, leaders, professionals and self-improvement seekers have you taken the time to get familiar with your champion? And by the way who is this champion anyway?
