Ready is Not Real - with Ali Goff
“Ready is not Real” – I remember hearing this from my friend and accountability partner Cami McLaren and thought, that is so brilliant! You see we are really not ready for a lot of things.

The Value of Courage
I don’t know that we are constantly thinking about courage. Or sometimes when we are thinking about it we are usually thinking about people who we see are courageous. I love this quote by Mary Tyler Moore; “Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.” It’s so inspiring. It takes courage to make mistakes, to learn, to grow, and I think we don’t give ourselves enough credit to how much we actually do this in s

Motivation for the Win
I often get asked “how do I motivate my team, colleagues, kids, spouse, etc?” And the simple answer is, you don’t. It seems like a super power we “should” be able to do right? The truth is, people are either internally or externally motivated and if you want to empower them you’ve got to meet them where they are and find out what motivates them, or what is motivating them currently. From that place you can then work with them to tap into their motivation and forward movement. Today we dive int

The “Desires” of Our Lives
One of my favorite questions is “have you thought of…”? It can often spark a deep desire I never knew I had or wanted. I especially love this question when it is not coming from someone else’s agenda/opinion rather something they are seeing or hearing from me that I am not even aware I have been putting out there! It’s such a great question that opens possibilities versus igniting the “shoulds” in our lives. Today we will take on what desires are and how to tap into them to create more of th

Transformations
What does it mean to “transform”? The dictionary says “make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character of.” At its simplest form it's creating a change in something you want in your life. We have been doing it our entire lives, if you think back as far as you can you may come up with the various transformations you’ve made in areas like mindset, health, relationships, professional and other personal goals. It’s pretty amazing what we can create and today we are going t
Game Changer with guest Megan Moore
I am so excited to have one of my favorite colleagues on the podcast today, and we are going to be discussing what it takes to change the game in your life. It can be scary to take a leap of faith and change jobs, careers, or anything really in life. Let’s be honest, we have a lot of beliefs about what we’re allowed and not allowed to do in business, our careers, and life. Join Coach Megan Moore and I as we bust those limiting beliefs up, and here Meg’s tried and true practices that will help
Fear & Courage
They say fear is the resistance of courage and therefore courage is the resistance of fear, hmm that will stop and make you think won’t it? I believe that both things can be true at the same time, meaning we can have fear, be really terrified and also incredibly brave and courageous at the same time. Today we are going to explore fear, courage, and what that means to hold them both true at the same time, and have practices in place to move vs. stay stuck in fear. Pretty scary and exciting eh?
Self Love Actually
Happy Valentine’s Day week! In this traditional day, week, month of LOVE I thought it would be interesting to explore “self love” and what that is, actually. As a coach I have the honor to work with people, and the human experience is quite incredible. I am always so curious as to how it is that we turn on ourselves so quickly and wouldn’t dare do that with others. So today let’s explore self love, actually and a seven step process to have self love be consistent in your life, afterall you tr
Up Against It
Do you have a word, words, or a theme for 2023? If so, do you find them valuable? I sure do, and this year my words are Vibrant and Integrity - wooooo! Powerful words that I talk about in today’s episode and how words, themes can be incredibly helpful during times of uncertainty and the feeling of being “up against it”. We explore the 3 things I know work to help move you through “up against it” to “I’ve got this, really. Let’s GO! Highlights from this episode:(02:09) Are your goals still wort
Shiny Papers Everywhere
You’ve figured out what you want for 2023, you are clear on vision, it is in alignment with your purpose, goals are set, and you are beginning to create your action steps and the “how” it will get done. Congratulations, that is a huge accomplishment, let’s happy dance now! A question I often get asked is “which way do I go?” Feels a little like “Alice in Wonderland” at times. Today we address the “shiny papers” that begin to appear and help you pick the one thing that is going to help you sta
How? It’s A Trap!
Do you know what the $1,000,000.00 question is? How, and then fill in the blank. Seriously it is a question that gets asked over and over. Think about it, we see someone who has lost a bunch of weight and the first thing we ask? “How did you do it?” Here’s what I know: the how is way less compelling than why they did it. Why “aka” purpose gets to the core of why it is important to you and gives you direction and often motivation to keep at it. The how is not unimportant but certainly not the
Ep 143: In Your Time
Ah January, you are such a strategic month. Recently I was asked “do I have to have all of 2023 figured out by the New Year?” As a coach I don’t have your answer, so we explore that and as an Entrepreneur I say NO! In fact, it has really taken the pressure off knowing that the entire month of January was strategic planning, the whole month. Today we visit the 3A’s (Align, Assess, and Assign) to get clear on moving ideas to outcomes. It is ok to be thoughtful and purposeful as you set up 202
A Worthy Goal
I often get asked, “what do I do with the goals I had from last year, is it ok to continue with it this year, is it still a worthy goal?” The answer of course, is “what do you think?” and YES, keep it going. Here’s why. Worthy goals inspire action, motivation, and passion. They begin the goal-setting process because they encourage you to dream big. These big dreams are important because they reaffirm with you that they are worth the time and effort it will take to achieve them. How freeing i

Holidays Without Should
We are fast approaching the holidays, and whenever I think of that the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” runs through my head like an ear worm! It also makes me giggle because what I know is that often the holidays create a level of stress that is the opposite of the song’s message. You may know that what drives that is “should”, it’s true.

Building Trust
Do you ever wonder why some people are great at creating the results they want in their life? Do you think they must know something you don’t?

Ep 126: Move Over Overwhelm

As we move through the month we will create more distinctions and help you with strategies to overcome
Ep 123: Your Story Matters with Carolyn Stine
We have been talking all month about various topics and how it relates to getting outside your comfort zone, and I know how often owning our story and sharing it can be vulnerable and way out of our comfort zone. Today Carolyn Stine and I are going to have a conversation about the importance of storytelling as both a tool for connecting you deeply to your audience, what it opens within you to be seen as your full and real self, and how it helps you to embody a new paradigm of leadership.Carolyn
Ep 122: Begin With YOU
Something I’ve been exploring a lot of is this mysterious thing called “self-care”. We hear about it all the time and yet what does it really mean? It’s different for everyone and certainly is a vehicle to being the best version of you and yet start to have a conversation about it and you might be met with some eye rolls. Why is that? For many, self-care isn’t something that is seen as a way to take good care of you to begin with, it’s often taken on as a reaction to being overwhelmed, exhaus
Ep 121: Growing Up with Mom as a Coach; Real Talk.
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 follows. I am currently on a comfort zone stretch as we speak with my son Chris (tune in to find out more!), so thought it would be fun to revisit Episode 014 which was also a comfort zone stretch!We explore what it was like to be a kid and teenager growing up with a mom as leadership coach, being fully immersed in leaders
Ep 120: Lead with Your Genius
You know you are a genius, right? Ooooh just that question alone can really stir up some uncomfortableness. I get it, we often dim our brilliance, as if it is not ok to shine and shine bright. And usually, it’s because there is something driving that wanting to keep us safe inside our comfort zone. As we move through August, we are talking about things from the context of comfort zone and this week it’s all about your unique genius and leading from it – even when it’s uncomfortable. Here are th
Ep 119: Skydiving Anyone?
When we are living lives that are abundant it is going to require s t r e t c h I n git really will! Welcome to August! I am currently on vacation, so today’s episode is a revisit to Episode 68 and that time I went sky diving!!

Life is funny like that, take the opportunities, and when a perfectly good plane appears in your life, JUMP! Here are the highlights from this episode
Ep 118: The “Desires” of Our Lives
One of my favorite questions is “have you thought of…”? It can often spark a deep desire I never knew I had or wanted. I especially love this question when it is not coming from someone else’s agenda/opinion rather something they are seeing or hearing from me that I am not even aware I have been putting out there! It’s such a great question that opens possibilities versus igniting the “shoulds” in our lives. Today we will take on what desires are and how to tap into them to create more of th
Ep 117: The “Shoulds” of Our Lives
How many times do you decide to do something because someone told you that you should?

Do you ever find yourselves in a spin of “should, could, would”? It happens and it sure isn’t useful. It’s July and we are halfway through the year so we are going to be talking all month about “should” vs. “desire” and create specific distinctions to help you remove should from your goal setting and get into what you truly desire so that you move forward with inspired action.

Ep 114: Reframe The Day
We all have tough times, bad days, and times where we just aren’t “feeling it”. Mama said there would be days like this, and she also said they will pass, what can you learn from it? Which one resonates with you more? Today we are going to talk about some simple ways to reframe a “fixed” mindset to a “growth” mindset. You in? I love a good reframe. Here are the highlights from this episode:(01:48) A growth mindset is everything(03:55) Mindset over mechanics(07:53) Which conversation do you wan
Ep 113: It’s All in The Mind
You’ve heard the saying “mindset over mechanics”? It’s so true! Your mindset determines your success and goes hand in hand with the power of choice. When I talk about success, I mean what you choose is success, not what someone else defines as your success. Today we will create distinctions between mindset and attitude and how they go hand and hand. It’s never really about the mechanics (although yes they are necessary) and when your mindset is clear well the mechanics tend to work themselves
Ep 112: That Time I Couldn’t Speak

My wish is that you

Ep 110: Give & Receive
On a scale from 1-10 (1 being “yikes” and 10 being “on it”) how do you receive and accept help in your life? We talked about the power of asking for help on Episode 108 and worked through some strategies to assist you in building that muscle.

Ep 108: Ask and Receive
Are you someone who easily asks or help or is asking for help even on your radar? I used to think I was good at it and found out that was an interesting lie I told myself and that’s because of the rules I made up from those pesky self-limiting beliefs who on occasion love to run the show. Asking for help and accepting it is such strength so why do we avoid it? In today’s episode we are going to explore what stops us from asking for help and 7 simple steps to strengthen that muscle. People natur

Because here’s the thing, we are also all creators and it’s a superpower available to us at any moment. This week’s challenge; create before consuming! Who’s
Ep 103: There is No Comparison
Remember last week when I asked you if you ever compare yourself to someone else, other things, the “shoulds” in your life? How’s it going? Last week we talked about how if she, he, they can do it, so can you it’s true. Today we are diving into strategies to stay out of the “compare zone” and the one person you can compare yourself to. Here’s a hint, it’s YOU in a healthy and uplifting way! Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy” and it sure is. Remember we are only seeing an

Think about it, we see someone who has lost a bunch of weight and the first thing we ask? “How did you do it?” Here’s what I know the how is way less compelling than why they did it.

Ep 091: In Your Time
Ah January, you are such a strategic month. Recently I was asked “do I have to have all of 2022 figured out by the New Year?” As a coach I don’t have your answer, so we explore that and as an Entrepreneur I say NO! In fact, it has really taken the pressure off knowing that the entire month of January was strategic planning, the whole month. Today we introduce the 3A’s (Align, Assess, and Assign) to get clear on moving ideas to outcomes. It is ok to be thoughtful and purposeful as you set up
Ep 090: A Worthy Goal
I often get asked, “what do I do with the goals I had from last year, is it ok to continue with it this year, is it still a worthy goal?” The answer of course, is “what do you think?” and YES, keep it going. Here’s why. Worthy goals inspire action, motivation, and passion. They begin the goal-setting process because they encourage you to dream big.

Today we continue with lessons of becoming an entrepreneur by design. I remember it like it was yesterday, staring at the walls and wondering “now what”?

Episode 079: The Lessons – “What’s Your Plan”
I thought it would be fun to move from The Accidental Entrepreneur to being the Entrepreneur by design and talk about lessons learned, because I trust that can be helpful to you.Today we are going to talk about leaping without a plan. There is that quote about leaping, and the net will appear. I believe that because I think it helps us with getting outside our comfort zone, it allows us to trust ourselves and go for it! However, I like to kick it up a notch because while I love leaping as I h
Ep 078: The Accidental Entrepreneur Part 2
In today’s episode we take a deeper dive into what it means to be uncomfortable and thrive in it!

Ep 075: Creating Your Next Level
Do you remember 2020 and feeling like being on a teeter totter of being motivated to move vs what was happening during the height of Covid-19? As the world began to re-open bit by bit, it was 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 were enough to make one dizzy. Which way do we go? I think we often find ourselves in the “which way do I go” mode. There is
Ep 074: Lean In, Champ
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 must contribute?

Ep 059: Ready for a Bigger Game
On this episode we're going to revisit lessons from one of America's favorite pastimes - baseball.It's a game that really requires repetitive building of skills to be successful. Thousands of ground balls, hours in the batting cage, and throwing until your arm is legitimately rubber. And you know what leadership is exactly the same!Great leaders are not born.; they emerge through the application of principles and skills on a consistent basis. Leaders must constantly practice and hone their skill

That's

Or are we doubting who we really are, and who we are for people, our purpose in life, and what we have to contribute?
Ep 056: DIY Your Life
I don’t think I can speak or coach enough on today’s topic, and that is the topic of harmony. I’ve said this before and I will say it again, we live in a society that asks us to go bigger, faster, stronger, harder. And I am personally getting really excited that more and more people are getting that it’s not about grabbing a bigger plate, that self-care really is not being selfish and the very thing that will help you continue to be the best version of you. I am about ready to take on the next
Ep 055: You’ve Got to Have High Hopes
You have probably heard me say on more than one of these episodes that “hope is not a strategy; it is in fact a way that we cope” and by the way, it is completely ok. The reason it is not a strategy is that it is not backed up by any action, however, I want to broaden the concept of HOPE and even suggest that it can actually be part of your strategy in taking the lead in your life. The concept of hope has become super interesting to me. Let’s start with the opposite of having hope as being “
Ep 054: Ditching the Diet with Kara Trochta, MDS, RDN, LD
How many “dieters” do we have out there? How many of you get frustrated with diets that aren’t working for you? How many would love to have a lifestyle that supports their optimal health?

Ep 051: Own It!
Today we are going to capitalize on last week’s episode “Don’t Get It Twisted” where we dove into the importance of your mindset as a leader in your life. Think of todays as part two.

Ep 050: Don’t Get It Twisted
Today we are talking about Mindset and how it can support us through times of adversity and circumstances that aren’t going our way. Your mindset determines your success.

The same is true for choosing a mindset that supports our success and by success I mean, what we

Ep 039: Let’s Talk About the “S” Word with Kristin I. Meyer, Ph.D.
It’s January 2021 and we are about halfway through, how are your self-care habits going? As entrepreneurs, leaders, and committed to self-improvement, I can’t say this enough, self-care is non-negotiable. We have a responsibility to stick with it.

Ep 038: Because, I Said So
We have all been thinking about 2021, setting intentions, declaring outcomes and goals, practicing new habits, and being in action. In addition to making declarations, we are going to talk about what goes hand in hand with declarations and creating more of the results you want, and that is being in ownership of your choices.

Ep 037: Do The Thing Anyway with Kit Cole
On today’s episode, we have a super fun guest, and we are going to be talking about how to do the things you set out to do even if you don’t like it, don’t feel like it, or don’t know how.

The thing about resolutions is they don’t typically stick, you know the ones that we make New Year’s Eve? Those ones! Think about this, in the past when we were able to go into gyms, they wer

Today I am on my very own business retreat for the next couple of days, ok yes, it’s at home, and I have removed all of the distractions, I have two very large calendars up, charting paper, post it notes, and my journal.

Ep 035: Catching Santa!
I can’t believe it is Christmas time, Merry Christmas. I also want to say Happy Hanukkah as many just celebrated Hanukkah, and a Happy Kwanza that is coming up. The end of 2020 is nearly in sight, does anyone feel like you are sprinting to the finish line from this year? I wonder if for a moment we could slow down, pause, and reflect a moment. Can we rejoice in the spirit of Christmas this week, and find joy? I know the holidays can be super stressful, and also hard for people. Holidays hav
Ep 034: Do You See What I See?
Can you believe we are halfway through December, and coming up on the end of 2020? What a year it has been in so many ways, and probably did not look anything like we thought it would, am I right? Are any of you finding yourselves a little shy on dreaming, thinking, and wondering about 2021? If you are, I get that. I am going to invite you to do it anyway and here’s why! It’s time, it’s time to trust your resourcefulness, and your ability to pivot and keep on creating. Designing a vision s
Ep 033: Where Did the Rudder on the Boat Go?
Over the last few year there’s been so much talk and work on purpose-driven leadership, and this really excites me. One of the most important roles of an executive is to be a steward of the organization’s purpose. Business experts acknowledge purpose is a key to exceptional performance, and psychologists describe it as the pathway to greater well-being. Doctors have even found that people with purpose in their lives are less prone to disease. Purpose is key to navigating the complex and uncerta

Ep 029: I Hear You with Janine Hamner Holman
Empathy is the ability to be with people in a way that honors their perspective, feeling their feelings with them, staying out of judgement, recognizing emotions and being able to communicate their emotion. It truly requires us to seek to understand before being understood over and over and over again. Why is empathy important? Because it drives connection, in today’s world we are crying out for more connection, more understanding and more action. Empathy is truly about being with people from a

As a leader, self-care is a non-negotiable. We can’t contribute to others if we are not taking care of ourselves, and sleep is one of the most important components of that. It affects us in our day to day action. If you ask my clients, we have all talked about self-care and sleep at one point or another. I am really passionate about this subject because there was a time in my life that I began really unhealthy sleep habits and kept pushing through. You’ve heard “sleep is overrated”, “you can
Ep 027: May I Offer You Some Feedback?
As leaders, we recognize that we deliver feedback and receive it in many different ways. Here's a tip you can apply and practice today that will assist you in delivering feedback. It is called the "FORMS" Feedback Model and as you practice this each day, notice the responses you start to get. Feedback is a tool to provide awareness; not a torch to make people or results wrong. This is really important. It’s time to raise the bar on respecting one another, and I am going to put a period on that.
Ep 026: For the Love of Dance with Andrea Valero and Felicity Morales
Let’s dive deeper in choosing to take the lead and take action on what you are passionate about. Passion is that thing that makes you feel alive, brings you joy, and when coming from passion and purpose compels you to move forward. Passion is the thing that will allow you to get creative, stay out of the pity party when the curve balls come in, and passion will drive you to pivot and find another way. We will move through a story of passion, pivot, and purpose, when life throws you a big cur
Ep 025: The Final Quarter
Can you believe we are in the final Quarter of 2020, and half way through October? This is just crazy making!! Today we are going to look at finishing this year strong and look ahead to 2021. Even though there are so many uncertainties, it’s always a good idea to plan. As a coach, this is the time of year when my clients and I look back on the results that were created throughout the year, we look at what we hit, where we needed to pivot, what worked, what did not work, and all the things we
Ep 024: From Derailed to Redirected with Mindy Kay
Today we are looking at “Leader’s Don’t Wait” from another lens. And this lens is called “surrender”. And that may seem the opposite of what we think “Leader’s Don’t Wait” sounds like in our heads, so let’s explore that a bit. What does it mean to surrender? We’ve talked before that we get to choose what success means to us, we are free to choose our experiences in our life, and what supports that is the freedom to choose an attitude that supports us. And sometimes it is about surrender. An
Ep 023: The Possibility of the Pivot with Ali Goff
Purpose answers the question “why” and it’s a powerful one, one that guides you, one that helps you remember why something is important and on days that are hard, compels you to do the thing you want to do anyway. Vision answers “what” do I want, what do I see, and will also compel you to keep going. The funny thing about Vision is you will declare it, and get started on creating it, and by the time you get there, you will look back and the road to getting there won’t look anything like you tho
Ep 022: Owning Your Story, and Making it Your Purpose with Hope Bagwell Reasons
In today’s episode we will explore the leadership principle that is a non-negotiable in creating what you want in life. And that principle is PURPOSE. God has a plan for us, and it is revealed in our purpose. I know purpose has been talked about a lot through the years, and so simply put think of purpose as answering an important question and that question is “WHY”, sometimes you hear it as “MY WHY”, what’s your why for… you can fill in the blank, and then take it a step further and explore why
Ep 021: How to Reduce Anxiety and Boost Your Immune System Naturally with April Likins

Ep 020: Happiness First with Shannon Sennefelder
Sometimes taking the lead in your life will require being resilient. Resilient people are aware of situations, their own emotional reactions, and the behavior of those around them. Another characteristic of resilience is the understanding that life is full of challenges, and sometimes unimaginable ones. My guest today is a woman who exudes resilience, she is vulnerable, authentic in her feelings, and has found meaning through the loss of her beautiful daughter. Today we are going to be talking a
Ep 019: Happy With an Eye Roll
I was recently in virtual training and I heard “Human beings require 3 things to be happy” Someone to love Something to do Something to look forward to Now I have heard this many times before but for some reason this stopped me in my tracks and the tears started rolling down my face. I remember I wrote it down; explore this and why in the world was this making me cry? And why now? And when has it before? And am I happy? I mean I come off as a pretty positive person and one might think that mea
Ep 018: People Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend with Cami McLaren

I am so excited to introduce you to my accountability partner, Cami McLaren, and we trust you are going to be empowered to create accountability partnership
Ep 017: Confidently Confident
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 their presence. Have you wanted to be that person? Have you wished that you had the confidence to be
Ep 016: The Importance of Tenacity After a Leap of Faith with Kristin I. Meyer, Ph.D.
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 and sticks with it no matter what. It’s job is to remind the rest of the cars that “WE CAN DO THIS” over and
Ep 015: That Time I Couldn’t Speak
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 for change. What will this require? Stretching way beyond our comfort zone. Today I will be vulnerabl
Ep 014: Growing Up with Mom as a Coach; Real Talk.
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 every single day. You might say we all grew up as leadership coaches together, because let me tell you, they don’t
Episode 013: I Don’t Like Change
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 change because like it or not, change is always happening, so let’s make the best of it. You have a choice to lean in
Ep 012: Age Is Just A Number with Joan Virginia Allen
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 heroes, he was 100% self-made, and he lived every day to the fullest, he taught me, you can, the question is will you. He instill

Ep 010: It’s All About Excellence; Perfect is So Overrated
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 continuing to learn, grow, create opportunities to make mistakes, take them, and not take ourselves quite so seriously. To
Ep 009: I Have This Belief!

Ep 007: How About Some Empathy Right Now?
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 such a great reminder. I want to credit a great man Stephen Covey for introducing the world to seeking to unde
Ep 006: What’s Next; Creating Yourself or Finding Yourself
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 dizzy. Which way do we go? There is meaning we will all make up for ourselves or have made up for ourselves durin

Ep 004: The Imposter Vs. The Champion
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 heart we are not frauds, we are human beings having a human experience, and therefore it is natural we are going to a
Ep 003: It’s All About Attitude!
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 power of choice! Today it is all about attitude, and how our attitude literally shapes the experiences we are having. Th
Ep 002: No Such Thing as Balance with Paige Killian
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 no such thing as a destination called balance.So, get ready to take the pressure off and discover the power
