This conversation focuses on how you know when to...

Moving toward better self monitoring on a journey toward authenticity, we have to understand that we are natural storytellers and also how we tell those stories internally.  This episode is meant to serve as a reminder that your patterns, self-talk, and your inner dialogue are a result of your experiences, your self worth, and often your mindset. You also need to constantly seek the input of other...

Based on questions from Gen Z in college classrooms around the difference between being authentic and being socially aware/politically correct, I started to research this a bit. This episode and these links are what I found to be helpful in explaining true authenticity and also self monitoring: Psychology Today's Self Monitoring Assessment Have We Got Authenticity Wrong? Adam Grant: “ Unless...

I had the opportunity to hear a professor talk about the dominate type of your Myers Briggs Type (MBTI) recently, how pairing around your type works, and more importantly how different types take on and react to stress.

I had the occasion to hear from a Gen Z connection about some confusion and desperation regarding a career path. This was truly too good of a textbook case study on starting with YOU and allowing that to lead your career search, not trying to fit in many boxes and compartments that aren't made for you.

"Manage your energy, not your time". I heard that simple sentence this week and it shook me.

I appreciate this conversation where they are open and vulnerable about their past,...

Much of what I have covered in this podcast is great to hear, it's easy to talk about and to assume you're implementing, but when faced with something hard, are you ready?
