Finding Brave

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers! "It all goes back to empathy. Know who you're talking to, know how they process information, and really think through what you're asking of them and how they're going to feel about it." - Nancy Duarte What if you sliced data and found a huge problem or opportunity? Data did its job, but now it needs...

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers! "I very much think of myself as the leader behind, or the leader beside.

"I think that if they are expressing an interest in something, even if it's not the thing that you did as a child or that all of their friends are doing, or it's something you know nothing about, let's explore the resources because they are out there." - Illana Raia When developing the future female leaders of tomorrow, it's so important for them to be aware of the females leaders that are impacti...

"There are days you show up to do it, and you're tired. Hitting 100 episodes is a lot of work, but you don't want to give up. You have to have perseverance and commitment. What do you commit to here? Don't give up." - Kathy Caprino In today's episode, I'm celebrating a very special milestone for Finding Brave, the publishing of our 100th episode. The entire process of creating and publishing a pod...

"Most of the time we think that as entrepreneurs, if we want to make more revenue and have a big impact, there's something we're not doing that we need to add in. Nine times out of ten, it's something that you're doing that you should stop doing." - Kate Northrup If you are a regular listener of this podcast, you know that for years I was what I have termed as a "perfectionist overfunctioner" -- d...

"Choose to get curious. Go have a coffee with another woman, and another woman, and a person of color, and a millennial. You're going to start to see that there is in fact inequity in the daily ways people are treated." - Jeffery Halter As only 29% of senior leadership roles in the workplace are held by women (and that number is the highest on record), it means that the leadership ranks are still...

"Don't just assume that you know yourself. Ask yourself the questions. Your body is talking to you all the time, and what is this reaction in your body saying? Even if you have to get really detailed about feelings, just give it words." - Yamel Corcoll-Iglesias Years ago after leaving corporate America and becoming a therapist and then a career coach and writer, I began to recognize more deeply th...

"There are parts of ourselves that we made invisible, and Rare Breed is really about owning who you are in order to succeed. It's not just the pretty parts, but it's all of who you are. Bring all of your humanness to the table and make your vices your virtues." - Sunny Bonnell Along with her partner, Ashleigh Hansberger, today's Finding Brave guest Sunny Bonnell has literally written the book on i...

"It's as much of an inner game as it is an outer game, because the inner game is the only thing in this universe that you have control over." - Grace Lee What if all the problems we faced in our careers are simply unasked questions? With an incredible story of adversity from a very young age, to her training in neuroscience, today's Finding Brave guest is able to give a unique and powerful perspec...

"Feeling connection is the same whether I'm in front of an audience with a guitar, or behind a desk talking to someone about what they've done the last 40 years. As a corporate executive, you have to connect with people and then pick up that thread and pass it along to someone else." - Tony Vlahos Your story and the difference that you can make with it is something that can set you apart from othe...

"These kids are growing up with social media, and while I don't think social media is evil or wicked, if they're on social media they are being bombarded by as many as 10,000 messages a day. I don't think our brains are meant to take in 10,000 messages a day, so mentally they are just overwhelmed." - Tim Elmore This generation of students who have grown up in the 21st century are the most social,...

"I speak about the divine femine, but it's just claiming our divinity. Really our relationship with ourselves is the source of everything, if we can come home to our sacredness and to our own divinity. What I love is teaching women to actually understand how we are an embodiment of that which is sacred, in female form." - Anahita Joon Almost all women have been raised to hide who they really are,...

"If you're thinking that it's not possible to do these things that you want to do, it's not possible, but if you do open your mind to the possibilities, it will become possible." - Richie Norton Do you want to have more time with your family, but it will take 5 years and your 13-year-old child will be 18 and out of the house by the time you're "free?" Today's Finding Brave guest is a deeply inspir...

"If you're an entrepreneur or a solopreneur, you've got to be selling half of the time. You are an artist, CEO and sales, and I think one of the biggest mistakes that people make is they assume their talent will speak for itself, or they'll assume the product speaks for itself. I'm here to tell everyone that it's not speaking loud enough." - Cindy McGovern Is sales something that you dread doing?...

"The biggest problem with the resumes I see is that people tend to summarize their experience, instead of selling themselves. At the end of the day the job search process is really a sales process, and the product that you're selling is yourself." - Austin Belcak The first time today's guest appeared on Finding Brave, and we talked about how to land your dream job at the salary you deserve, I rece...

"For most people I know, their comfort zone is actually not very comfortable at all. It's a tight box that they've put themselves in. They've created practices, habits and methodologies to make themselves feel safe and secure, but safe and secure is not necessarily comfortable. We want to reach our highest potential, and safe and secure will never let us do that." - Kathy Caprino In today's show,...

"It is perfectly ok to say 'Yes', and it is perfectly to say 'No'. I talk about it this way now, that if it's a 'Hell Yes', it's a 'Yes'. If it's a 'Hell No', it's a 'No'. Anything in between is a 'Hell No', because if it's a 'Maybe', it's just hell. - Sue Hawkes Does perfection exist as a constant in our lives, work and relationships? Not in reality, but so many people today feel that perfection...
