Right now there is a lot of division, struggle, and chaos in the world. It’s weighing heavily on us and our leadership of ourselves and others. The problem: we are too quick to allow our outside circumstances to define us. We are allowing the fear of uncertainty, and the negativity around us, affect how we live. There’s an assumption that we don’t have a choice about what we think or feel. The fact of the matter is, the only thing you truly have control over in this world is your emotions.

It begins with good self-leadership. Today’s episode will provide you with effective methods of self leadership especially in difficult times that you can implement in order to take back control of your peace and happiness and expand your growth while you do.

The Power of Subtraction

The Power of Subtraction

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

When we are facing a challenge, so often our first reaction is to think about what we can ADD to solve the problem. It’s our brain’s impulse to avoid scarcity that compels us to add. We think we need to hire more people, get a new strategy, or buy more things to overcome the problem…when in reality, we need to do the complete opposite. 

Here’s a secret:  the best way to expand — whether it’s your work, career, success, happiness, or growth —  is to eliminate. So, rather than rushing to think about what you can add to improve your current circumstances, pause and think about what you need to first let go of. This may be a self-imposed rule, a thought, a feeling, a habit, or a characteristic of your identity. Whether you are the CEO of a business or the CEO of your household, this episode will show you three specific ways to use the power of subtraction today to get more of what you want. You’ll learn why when in doubt…you should always subtract.

In this episode, I share:

  • 3 key areas to consider subtracting from your life and how to do it
  • How to evaluate the rules you’re making up that are holding you back from making the changes you desire
  • The cost of adding rather than eliminating

Two Words To Quiet The Noise And Finish 2020 Strong

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

It’s not your vision that’s the problem. It’s that you have TOO MANY of them. 

This is a little known but commonly found problem among talented leaders who find themselves procrastinating, losing focus, or spinning their wheels.  

If you’ve already got a clear vision of what you want and know to do when you sit down at your desk in the morning, but that doesn’t seem to be helping…you’re going to enjoy this episode.

Yes, there are those moments when you are in your zone, you are taking action on your most important work without hesitancy or overthinking.

In these moments you’re consistent, taking risks, betting on yourself and you experience the payoffs.

But then there are those times where you don’t show up at all. You don’t do what you want and know to do.

No matter what you try — more will power, massive action, new plan, believing in yourself or new strategy — you just can’t get yourself to do what you know you’re capable of doing.

What’s the difference? 

It may be that you have TOO MANY visions.

In this episode, I share:

  • The three alternative visions that are distracting and draining you 
  • Two words I use to move my attention back to my one BIG vision
  • How embracing uncertainty can bring a transformation to your business and your life
  • Practical steps to take when you’re not being the productive person you want to be

Growing Our Teens To Be Leaders

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

One of the greatest skills we can teach our children is how to use their inner resources to thrive — regardless of life’s circumstances.   

Doing transformation work with adults for many years and being a mother of three, I am familiar with the anxiety our children are experiencing as they try to deal with the uncertainties and challenges of a world that’s been rearranged. 

For that reason, my team decided to have a bit of a different show today.  

In this episode, I interview a special guest, Kate. I’ve followed and worked with Kate for the last four years, from her senior year in high school to a rising Senior in college. 

In this interview, Kate candidly shares real topics and fears she and other young adults struggle with today.  She includes her own perspective on important decisions from where to attend college to taking a gap year during a national pandemic. 

I also asked her to break down her thinking on transforming negative thoughts, self-doubt, turning challenges into opportunities, and setting an intention in order to triumph over challenging circumstances. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Practical tools to help young adults during unprecedented times
  • How we can transform negative thoughts and self-doubt
  • Turning challenges into opportunities
  • Setting intention for yourself
  • 3 things you can do to support your young adult

Your Team Is Better When You Talk Less

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Did you know that we only remember about 25-50% of what we hear? It may be surprising, but the research shows it’s true. It’s clear that listening is a skill we can all benefit from improving. I’m sure you’ve been in a conversation when it’s obvious the other person isn’t actually listening to you. It doesn’t feel good. On the flip side, are you conscious when you are doing this to others?

One of the most immediate ways you can care for and serve the person right in front of you, is to listen. In fact, actively being heard is one of the greatest gifts we can give another. Powerful connections are made when we have these authentic interactions. 

I don’t need to tell you that listening builds our relationships and deepens our connections to everyone – our kids, spouse, coworker, team, you name it. The problem is most of us don’t realize how weak we are at it. After you listen to this episode you will understand why I am passionate about this topic. I share a personal story of a wake up call I got on an international stage-front and how it forced me to realize my own listening skills needed improvement.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why actively listening is a valuable skill 
  • Several ways you can deliberately improve your own active listening skills 
  • The insightful  benefits of becoming a better listener at work and at home
  • Questions you can ask to accurately evaluate yourself as an active listener

Move From Struggle To Ease With One Smart Question

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Our culture teaches us from an early age, that life is hard. Struggle makes you strong, gives you a purpose, something to do.  Yet resisting ease and being attached to struggle causes so many a great deal of stress, worry, and pain. The real problem is you can’t have a great life in struggle.  You can build a great business in struggle. What’s important to know is that in many cases this difficulty and struggle is totally self-induced and unnecessary. 

The addiction to struggle single handedly prevents people from living a life of peace. It runs deep within me, and many others that I know. It starts to become a part of us, and in some ways it gives us purpose. What if we started to own the aspects of our lives that are easy to us? Better yet, what if we expect things to get easier than they already are? Imagine the time and energy and peace of mind we can get back if we simply let go of our attachment to the struggle. 

You can begin to identify as the person that good things happen to. You can create solutions and build something great when you’re outside of the struggle. Today I’m sharing with you what happened when I shifted my mindset from “life is hard” to “life is easy”, and how you can do the same.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The underground reasons we look for ways to make things more difficult — even when they don’t have to be
  • What our culture teaches us about difficulty, hardship and struggle
  • How we can experience our life differently if we allow things to be easier
  • 4 simple steps to move from struggle to ease while performing and feeling better

3 Steps To Move You From Exhausted To Energized As You Serve

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

There’s this thing that some leaders do that ultimately prevents them from growing their impact and building something great. They avoid serving more people because they feel they may not be able to handle the increase.  It’s the mindset of “more clients equals more time and responsibility, which leads to exhaustion”. In short, they fear that expanding their leadership and serving more people will deplete them. Here’s the secret: leadership is NOT meant to be exhausting IF you are doing it the right way. In fact, when done correctly, it’s energizing.

Maybe you want to build something that makes a difference in the world, but you already feel tired and busy.  If the thought of scaling concerns you, I bet you’re not exhausted for the reasons you think. Leading and serving isn’t what’s exhausting. It’s the concern, fear, and worry you lead from. 

At the end of the day we know that happy energized leaders create masterpieces.   Exhausted leaders do not.

If you or your business are drowning or you are looking for your spark to return, there is a way to turn it around. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What leading really means and why so few self-identify as leaders
  • Why worrying about how to help many more people isn’t getting you anywhere
  • THE question for an instant business turnaround  
  • How leading with love becomes a business strategy
  • How to expand your service and impact without worry or exhaustion in 3 steps
