Lets Be Honest Before We Start Pretending

I get to work with people every day and often what goes right on to the coaching plan is confidence... (you fill in the blank). So often we tell ourselves that confidence is one of those inherent qualities and one you may never attain. Either you have it or you don’t. We see people who seem to just exude it. You know who I’m talking about. They walk into a room and just command it. You can’t miss...

What two things are required to take a leap of faith? Focus and tenacity. Think of focus as the car engine and tenacity as the caboose on the “E” train. What’s the E train? It’s Energy, Effort and Engage, and represents every car from the engine to the caboose.   The engine is focused and sees a track and keeps heading forward, while the caboose has the tenacity to keep going no matter what a...

In today’s episode I thought it would be great to dive deeper into the 2nd pillar, ”Be Courageous”, through looking at our comfort zone and the value in challenging ourselves to get out of it and getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Especially today and the times we are going through. I feel like we are being called to stand, and stand in our courage to be specific, while answering the call fo...

I have often been told, “your boys must have loved growing up with you as a Coach”.  My response is, “you might want to ask them that question”, with an immediate giggle that followed.  Today I thought it would be fun to invite them to tell their story on what it was like to be a kid and teenager growing up with a Mom as leadership coach, being fully immersed in leadership principles eve...

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 ch...

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 her...

Every week we explore a specific principle of leadership, and I mention they will assist you in taking the lead in your life in every episode, so I thought I would chat with you about the pillars of taking the lead in your life that guide each one of the principles we take on each week.

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 contin...

How many times do you get stuck from moving forward with what you want in life because of a “rule” you’ve made up like “I’m not qualified”, “I’m not ready”, “I’m not good enough”?   It happens doesn’t it?  Well today we are going to dive into the Rules We Make Up that stop us from moving forward with what we want in our lives, these are also known as Self-Limiting Beliefs. &nbs...

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 suc...

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 di...

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...

One of my favorite quotes that reminds me attitude is everything and is something that we are 100% free to choose each and every moment is this, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – VIKTOR FRANKL     In this episode, we will continue to explore the pow...

My rock star client Paige Killian of the Mom's Organization Motivation Podcast and I thought it would be fun to do a “Crossover” Episode on one of my favorite principles when it comes to taking the lead in your life called “there is no such thing as balance, shoot for harmony!"  Sure, in banking, physics, the human body, etc there is a balance, but in the business of being human, absolutely n...

There are “no accidents” in life, what is occurring we may never know the reason; however, we can always find meaning in it. When we embrace that life happens for us we can stay present, keep out of worry, learn the lessons and contribute to others.
