The Work On Purpose Podcast

Until the podcast is ready to resume, I wanted to share a Facebook Live that I did on Nov 8. In it I discuss some things that I've never shared publicly, so I wanted to ensure that you, my loyal listeners, hear what I have to say.  Also, when you're finished listenin, if want to learn more about living authentically or want my help as you navigate your authentic journey, please schedule a  FREE al...

What if you could design your life EXACTLY how you would want it to be? What would you need to do to be able to do that? I think the first step is spending time in that future, the future you desire. And the best way I know to do that is through the power of visualization. In this episode we discuss the power of an amazing gift we all have: our imagination! WIth it we can visualize the life we wan...

We have so much power and the great tragedy is that we don't know just how powerful we are. We are created in the image and likeness of God and yet it seems as if we're the only ones in all Creation, that fail to reach our truest potential. In this episode I want to speak to those of you who know EXACTLY what it is you want and what you're here to do. I want to talk to you about how to manifest th...

Adulting is hard. This is a phrase I keep hearing from young adults. I actually don't think it's that adulting is hard.  I think it's more likely that us parents have been making life so easy and comfortable for our kids, whether by providing all the conveniences that we can afford OR even by our lack of preparing them adequately for the things that await them in adulthood. In this episode we disc...

You may or may not know my story, in particular, the part about my having had over 30+ jobs in my career. But during the course of my multi-faceted career, I've also sat on the opposite side of many young candidates looking for work. And as a hiring manager, I sadly found that there's so much that people unknowingly do or don't do, that almost automatically puts them out of the running. I started...

What should you do if you're in a bad situation at work? Sometimes when we can feel trapped, worried or anxious, heck it can even evolve into outright panic. If you're caught in a bit of frustration, mild job dissatisfaction or interoffice conflict, might I suggest you don't throw in the towel just yet. In this episode we discuss three approaches you can take to help gain a different perspective o...

Are you an avid reader? Maybe an occasional reader? Or are you like I used to be where someone couldn't pay me enough to sit down and read a book cover to cover? Allow me to make my case for why you should become a reader. Reading has so radically changed my life and by extension, my decisions and outcomes for the better, that I want everyone to at least have the same opportunity. In this episode...

How often do you ask questions? We should always be in a perpetual state of curiosity. If we were to adopt a childlike approach and continue to ask questions all the time, we'd be amazed with what we learn, how much we grow and the things we're able to achieve. In this episode we discuss three primary benefits of being in a continual state of curiosity and asking lots of questions. After listening...

Do you set typically set resolutions or goals at the beginning of a new year? Many people do. But the sad truth is that most people don't make it out of January still in pursuit of those goals. What if this year you found a way to actually achieve the goals you set on January 1. What if this year you finally became the person who kept your word to yourself and lived the life you've been imagining?...

As we close out 2024 and get ready for 2025, I'm opening up a few spots on my calendar for new coaching clients. If you know that you're ready to finally live the life you were born for, ready to break through the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, ready to be who God is calling you to be, then don't let this opportunity pass you by. I can only take a handful of clients, so go ahead...

Life is about the journey…not the destination. In fact, you could say that any worthwhile endeavor is more about the journey than the realization of the goal. Once you start on your journey, the biggest threat to your staying in motion is EXCUSES.  They are your biggest enemy and unless you have a plan of action to attack them when they come, you will be defeated by them.  You must do whatever you...

Have you started giving any thought to the changes you want to see in your life in 2025? If not, I encourage you to start thinking about it now and not wait till the new year. And when you do, consistency will be your BFF in your quest to effect said change.  Yes, small consistent action over an extended period of time, is what will manifest change in your life. After listening to this episode on...

It's December and that means it's gift-giving season! But in this episode, I'm talking about a different kind of gift. The gifts given to us by our Creator! Our society has conditioned us to believe that giftedness and talent can only reside in athletic or artistic expression. It's why we pay our artists and ball-players such astronomical sums of money. But we're ALL gifted! We just need to find o...

Do you want to know the secret of advancing on the job? It's your own personal growth. If there's anything you want to change or improve in your world, it starts first, by growing yourself. In this episode, we discuss the GROWTH framework, that if you will implement it, you will see success in every area of your life, most notably, in your career. After listening, let me know your thougths and if...

Have you ever had trouble making good decisions or taking the right actions? What if I told you there's someone who could help you to always make the best decisions or right actions? That someone is you. Well, it's the future you! As you listen to today's episode, allow yourself to be a little open-minded, so you can fully grasp the concept of living from your future self's perspective. If you can...

Hi There! I'm back with Season 2 of the Work On Purpose Podcast! It's also the 1st anniversary of this podcast and I'm so proud of myself and so full of gratitude for you my dear listener. My little hiatus was a bit longer than I anticipated, but I needed it. And as you can imagine, I've been doing a lot of introspection, reflection and planning for the future! You see, it's my birthday today and...

So, I've decided to take a step back and take off the month of August to rest, rejuvenate and also to do a little planning and visioning for the future of this podcast, my business and my life.  I hope you've enjoyed listening to this podcast of mine and I also hope that you take some time this summer to do a little rest and reflection for yourself as well. I'll be back in September and I'm alread...

Do you have a current practice in your life for the thing or things you are hoping to improve? If there's a skill you would like to develop, do you have an allotment of your day, week and month where you know that time is dedicated to the practice of this skill?  Many people have things in their life that they would like to accomplish, dreams they would like to pursue. But they haven't spent the t...

Do you ever think about your legacy? If you're younger than about 40 or 50, I'd venture to say that you probably haven't. I have to admit, I frequently think about the kind of legacy I'll leave to my family and community. In this podcast episode, we discuss the issue of leaving a legacy and ways you can start thinking about your legacy now, so it will be a great one later. After listening, feel fr...

We don't know the number of our days. Each day we wake up, is a gift.  At the end of my life, which I hope is decades away, my hope is that I will die empty. I want to know that I left no stone unturn. No words unspoken. No dream unfulfilled. And what about you, my friend? Are you living your life on your terms, being, doing and having the things that are true for you? If not, consider this your i...

According to researchers and psychologists, belonging or relatedness or connectedness is considered a human need for effective functioning. Yet, even with all this love and connection with our family and friends, because the human need for belonging is so strong, the moment we experience any form of rejection, even if it's not from anyone close to us, it can cut as sharp as a knife. Because let's...

In this podcast episode, we discuss this notion that "good enough" is the enemy of great.  After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know what you learned and how you will implement this concept in your life to stretch you to newer and higher levels towards your own greatness. And now for my BIG announcement! I'm hosting a FREE live 5-Day Get Me Hired Challenge , starting on July 22,...

Have you ever gotten into a discussion with someone, only to have it escalate into something you weren't expecting? Someone may be upset and yell at you for something that wasn't warranted. Or worse, they could be completely irrational taking their frustrations out on you when you did nothing wrong. What can you do in cases like these? In my mind… Build a barrier. In this podcast episode, we discu...

Taking the initiative. Have you heard this phrase before? It's high on the list of desirables for any hiring manager. When a new employee starts on the job, the manager wants to know and see that they're ready, willing and able to take the initiative. But what does it really mean, to take the initiative? In this podcast episode, we discuss this all important quality of taking initiative. It's a hi...

We seem to have a preoccupation with happiness in our culture. We seek it, wish for it, want it for our children above all else and yet it's one of the most seemingly elusive things in this life. But perhaps we have the wrong approach. What if happiness was not something to be pursued at all? What if happiness was a  by-product of something else and if we pursued that thing, we would get the happi...
