The Leader's Table by Diana Murphy

I want to help you today to leverage and learn from what happens for you during vacation.  It's a peek into, perhaps a hint you can listen for that you can use to bring more joy, restoration and pleasure into your life.  Your everyday life. Hey if you're listening on time, it is ALMOST too late to join my MasterMind, we start this week and I'd love to have you join us if you're up to something new...

Today is #3 in my Regret Proofing your business series. It complements the podcast on making powerful decisions really well.   Nothing is more important than honoring what you want, in your business and in your life. This will be part of a Free Series available on my website soon. I'm looking forward to helping you to design your business in a way that you have no regrets on how you spend your tim...

Nothing will wear you out more than worrying about making the right decisions in your business. Let me repeat that.  Nothing will wear you out more than WORRYING about the decisions in your business.   As an owner, you make a lot of decisions during the day.  The fatigue is real, but there is a quick way to get powerful mental relief around your decision making by getting into a healthier rhythm.

I want to talk today about dialing down stress, angst and worry. Our minds adopt patterns that even on a good day, one trigger puts you into a spin of worry and stress. I'm going to talk about dialing this town, managing as it happens, even before it happens.   When you spend more time reframing you can create some personal mantras or belief statements of your own you can now start investing in TH...

Possibility the way I define it, is an emotion and a decision.  When you experience possibility as an emotion it creates excitement and is so mind opening and creative.  Possibility is also a decision.  A decision to believe in our goals in an open ended and positive way.  If you would like  double down on giving ourselves permission for our ambitions let's hop on the phone. Email me at diana@dian...

If you spend any time on social media or in the news, you are acutely aware of the impact of words. WORDS MATTER.  What does that have to do with mindset and your business? Everything.  Because how you speak and actively think about yourself and your business, has a result. Some of those results are intended and some are not. This is the nuance of mindset.  It's the fine art of seeing how your sel...

I want to ask you a question:  Do you take enough time off? Taking vacations is the sign of a healthy business AT ANY STAGE. I think it even goes one level deeper than this. To create a successful business, to lead a successful business... it's imperative that you take time off.   I've created a PDF giving you the secret to growth, the secret to creating what you want in your business and your lif...

If you're a business owner, you learned how to work hard. But have you learned to recess and play?  (And I'm not talking about work hard and play hard)  I'm actually talking about recessing as a rhythm in your business. Stop taking yourself so seriously and give it a rest for a minute.  Especially if you tend to worry a bit.  Trust all that you have built and put into place remembering that your b...

All of us have some version of this thought, "I don't have enough time", Even if it is really true that you have a task that will take an hour and you only have 30 minutes, your brain will lose focus, be frustrated and not be helpful if you think and believe that you don't have enough time. What if there is another way and you just have to teach the brain how.  What if this other way felt more exp...

This week's episode is a little different.  I ask myself some great questions and share my answers with you. I think this will be really powerful. I am always in a space where I want to be motivating you from some of the things I have learned and I hope they help you accelerate your own growth.

When are the moments that you NEED something to look forward to? What is the situation in your life that causes you to NOT want to  be right where you are and want to 'look forward' to something in the future instead?  And why is this even important?  Because I believe there is SO MUCH for us in the here and now and we don't miss it.  AND because I think sometimes we are actually the ones creating...

In our lives there are just those days, where the dark emotions and 'bad day' persist.    You are washed in overwhelm, you can't concentrate, you're feeling pretty crappy and it just feels like everything is going wrong.  You're having a REALLY bad day.  And all you want to do is feel better and be able to move forward. Nothing has gone wrong.  Slow down and give yourself some space to slide out o...

Overworking provides a buffer, just like over anything.  Over eating, over drinking, over SMing.  It distracts your mind but it also robs it of being present.  That is why I'm discussing it here.  It steals our joy too.  We take the day off and we don't quite know what to do with ourselves.  We keep on moving instead of stopping and taking a needed breath. I have a great PDF for you, What is the O...

I have a simple process that I have been using that has just fired up my motivation and has helped me to courageously step into believing GREAT things about my future and taking ACTION on them. And you can use this process to turn the least inspiring, fear filled moments into ones of possibility.  This is not a one time process during goal setting per se, this is a continual process to help me sta...

What you believe really matters especially around your own identity and self concept.  So today I'm jumping into:  Are you in Employee or Owner mindset?   Employee mindset in its most simplistic terms makes you feel like you feel like a victim of your own business, like you have a harsh boss that is making you work really hard. That is making you work all of the hours with no pay, blah blah blah. ...

This type of journaling, thinking, remembering and intentionally believing  is literally rewiring your brain for the next level of you.  This is where your words, those spoken to ourselves can literally create the results that you are thinking. THIS is the process of setting Goals and really seeing them come to life.   Keep it simple Do this work often Keep your goals in front of you daily Manage...

Today I've come up with 3 questions that you can use to sift through and choose how to be thinking of your goals this year SO that your goals are working FOR YOU. And let me be clear, our goals are working FOR us and our business growth if we are setting them as a guide to how we spend our time AND if they inspire us to take inspirational action/brave action. Watch for more ways you can move forwa...

This client is a powerful example of someone that uses the tools of mindset with an attitude of powerful curiosity.  She makes this work of digging into her thinking and acting from an intentional place look easy.  I'm sharing her example because in so many ways we LOVE to overcomplicate and she gave witness to how small shifts and paying attention to her thought life made a huge impact.   Busines...

The first is a client who I was shocked hired me.  She works in the travel industry and basically, when she hired me she...

This is that time of year that goals are part of a LOT of our business conversations.  We're looking at if we HIT our yearly goals and we're also looking at what we want to hit next year.  I have had so many thoughts about goals as a business owner and as I've dug in and learned how to hit my goals I realize something really important.   I have, in the past,  used goals to beat myself up and I hav...
