Two Essential Questions To Deliver (And Radiate) World-Class Care To Those You Serve

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

This week I’m coming to you after spending a weekend in the breathtaking Smoky Mountains where we spent our days outdoors soaking up all that nature had to offer. The experience I had at this destination hotel was unlike any I’ve had before. Indeed the amenities, views and services left me in awe. But that wasn’t what differentiated this experience from other destinations. It was the people and how they made me feel. The staff radiated genuine joy, ease, kindness, and care.  As a result, I became a raving fan.

As business owners, leaders, spouses, and parents, it isn’t what we do for those we serve, as much as how we make them feel when we do it.  We don’t always realize it, but our energy is always projecting onto those around us. With that understanding comes great power and the realization that we can also provide world-class service and experiences for those we serve and lead. Today I want you to consider what you radiate when you walk into a room. How do people feel when they are with you and how is that affecting your business and your key relationships?

In this episode, I share:

  • A recent personal example of my experience with the butterfly effect 
  • The 4 parts of a mission statement and how to go deeper with your own mission
  • 2 questions to deliver a world-class experience for those you serve 
  • Strategies to get clear and deliberately choose how you will make others feel  
  • A reminder that who you are being matters while you do what you do

The DNA of a Well-Designed Day

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to accomplish so much during their day, yet they’re not working 24/7? These are the people who can walk away from their desk at 5:00, spend time with their family, and take unplugged vacations. Meanwhile, you are working like crazy with a never-ending to-do list on the brink of burnout. What gives? 

A crucial difference between the hurried unheard leader and the fulfilled bold leader comes down to one thing: habits. Your habits are your life. They are the foundation of who you are and how you show up in business and life. If there is someone who already achieved what you want to achieve, what sets them apart is their habits.  It is absolutely possible to create what you want, without working more, but you may need to change a few routines to get there. If I provide you with the strategy you need, are you willing to make the changes?

In this episode, I share:

  • The difference between a goal-based and an identity-based habit and which you want to adopt
  • 5 actionable and detailed steps to create the habit of owning your days 
  • Why knowing the habits of the identity you want to become is important to achieving your goals…and the fastest way to do it 
  • What most leave out when creating a new habit; it’s the reason most habits don’t stick
  • How to shift from the identity of the hurried unheard leader to the fulfilled bold leader by redesigning your days
  • The importance and trick to sticking to your calendar and….
  • Warren Buffet’s advice for greater success

5 Reinvention Questions That Can Change Your Life Forever

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

As my daughter gets ready to graduate high school this year and move on to the next chapter of her life, I can’t help but think about all the possibilities that await her in the next few years. As new doors are opened in our lives, it is often difficult to close the ones that are behind us and fully embrace the potential in front of us. At the same time, with every change in circumstance comes the opportunity to become the person we’ve always wanted to be, whether that’s starting college, beginning a new job, or making a big move. No matter how old we are, we will continue to have periods of reinvention in life again and again and again. 

If you’re feeling stuck in a rut in any aspect of your life, it may be time to tune into your deepest cravings and desires. I firmly believe that deep down each of us already knows what we are called to do and what we can’t afford not to do. It can be scary and uncomfortable to take the leap towards a new stage of life, but it’s when we stop resisting that we can move through the process of reinvention that allows us to build the life we’ve always dreamed of. So grab a pen and paper, because today we’re walking through how to experience and enjoy the full Reinvention Process that the pandemic has thrown so many into.  

In this episode, I share:

  • 5 clarifying questions to ask yourself that can change your life forever
  • 3 ways to break through the barriers that most face when reinventing themselves

How To Pandemic Proof Your Relationships

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Since we are in the month that is dedicated to celebrating love, let’s chat about relationships. You may be someone who has had yours strained over the past year. Close your eyes and think about a relationship that you’d like to improve. Who would you have to be in order for that vision to become a reality? I recently asked my clients what they attributed to improving their most important relationships. A common answer was that when they took better care of themselves, they were better for others. Sometimes in order to gain resiliency in your relationships, you have to be a bit selfish. 

Self-care and self-awareness are the foundation to filling your cup, and in turn, offering your best-self to others. I am living proof of this. But what about when we are triggered in our relationships? How do we overcome the challenges, judgements, and disagreements that arise with those who we love? Today I’m going to offer you my Relationship Issues Clearing Model that I designed and have refined over my 20+ years of relationship with my husband.  These tips will help you to be intentional about how you approach tough conversations and address these situations peacefully rather than reacting impulsively.

In this episode, I share:

  • Tips for improving your emotional and relational health that can be done in just a few minutes a day 
  • Steps to take to become resilient and show up as your best self for those that you love immediately 
  • How to respond after being triggered without doing permanent damage to your relationship
  • How to effectively shift your attention and message from what’s going wrong with your significant other to what’s going right
  • The practice of moving your brain waves into a disengaged and relaxed state before bed to enhance your sleep

It’s Time To Rethink How We Approach Productivity

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Have you ever returned home from a trip and felt like a completely different person? That happened to me last week after a scenic and peaceful stay in Wyoming. It was a nice change of pace and I was reminded of the power of practicing silence, which inspired today’s podcast episode. 

During this COVID era and working from home, our productivity has been challenged. This has a lot to do with the fact that there’s absolutely no separation of home and work. In fact, data has shown that many people are actually working more than they were before. Our computers are quite literally at our fingertips all day, which makes it tempting to continue our work well past our usual hours. This is actually making us LESS productive. 

We don’t often think about this, but silence is a crucial part of productivity.  Listening is a critical skill that we’ve lost along the way. We have a way of either undervaluing it or treating it like a luxury. It’s time to make it a priority, and you can do that with three separate practices I share in today’s episode. 

Rather than basing your productivity on how many tasks you can complete in one day, try measuring how much of the right work you get done. I’m talking about the creative work. The work that will lead you towards more joy.  Let’s rethink productivity. It’s time to think bigger, bolder, and smarter about your enjoyment of this beautiful life that’s right in front of you.

In this episode, I share:

  • What happens when you value silence, trust yourself, and act on your instincts 
  • What is most often missed in our approach to productivity
  • The 3 questions to ask yourself while sitting in silence daily
  • A scientific way to access your brain’s best answers to solve problems and allow for free-flowing thinking
  • Which of your four brain waves to use and how to do so that you access your greatest ideation and productivity state

The Most Important Permission Slip You’ll Ever Write

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Too often we look for others to give us the solutions to our own problems or when we have our solutions or best next steps, tell us when we can implement them. But what if we own that it’s our own permission that we need to grant instead of others. What if despite (or in light of) being the talented, hard-working, and intelligent leaders we are, we unwittingly overcomplicate or hesitate to employ our solutions by putting the onus on others?  

When it comes down to it, we are actually the ones that hold the keys to the work and life we desire. Unfortunately, we’re often also the ones holding ourselves back from receiving them too.

Perhaps you’ve sat down and gained clarity on your aspirational vision and goals for the immediate future, but are unsure what to do next. What’s holding you back? Are you overwhelmed, overworked, or hesitant to make your next move? It may be as simple as giving yourself permission. 

Maybe you’re someone who needs to give yourself permission to… step back, step forward, earn more, earn less, say “yes,” say “no,” delegate tasks, simplify, let it be easy, or feel joyful. Deep down there’s something you need to give yourself permission and to allow yourself to do, experience, or have. Regardless of how hard you work, you will never get what you want if YOU don’t first give yourself permission and allow it to be that great. And you don’t need to wait for someone else to give you that consent.

In this episode, I share:

  • How to know if granting yourself permission is what’s holding you back
  • Why you don’t need outside permission to begin doing what you want
  • How to break the habit that holds 99% of leaders back
  • How EXACTLY intelligent leaders unwittingly overcomplicate getting what they want  
  • How to give yourself the right permission in order to bring your vision and goals into fruition.

Love Is The First Essential Leadership Principle

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

When times are tough, we tend to seek out the most complex strategies to fix the problem at hand. However, often the best thing to do is go back to the basics. There’s one thing that works time and time again when it comes to leading and succeeding, and that’s love. Is it really that simple? You bet.

Love makes the difference between good and great leaders, good and great teachers, good and great coaches. So, if you are looking for practical ways to turn things around and make a difference, start with love. Start with building relationships one tiny interaction at a time…without a hidden agenda. If you do, it is all but guaranteed that others will match your love frequency and pay it forward. Love heals.  Love makes money.  It is the number one strategy to solve problems whether it’s business, parenting, school, friendships, or athletics.

In this episode, I share:

  • The number one question to ask yourself in order to resist judgement of others
  • A look into how you can bring love into your leadership today
  • The most direct and powerful way to apply a love strategy in your relationships
  • Tools to move from good to great in whatever area you lead
  • Getting clear on whether you are contaminating or contributing to society

What is a leadership principle that you value?
