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.

As a leader, it is important to see things from a new perspective. It expands us and helps us to see what’s possible. This week I turn 50 and I’m determined to be intentional about continuing to experience new perspectives and have as many “firsts” as I can! It’s one of my goals for this year, and it aligns with my aspirational vision.

Don’t forget that you have infinite possibilities ahead of you.

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?

Five Steps That Transform The Hurried And Unheard Leader Into The Fulfilled And Bold

 

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:


One of the most incredible parts of my job is that I get to witness the powerful transformation that takes place within my clients. Together we reflect on who they were and who they have become. We celebrate the progress, the growth, and the changes they’ve made along the way. These are people who I refer to as fulfilled bold leaders. They’ve made a big impact on their work, their family’s lives, and those that they serve. 

You may be wondering, what has to happen to cause such a life-changing transformation? I recently asked my clients just that. Specifically, I presented the question: what is the step that you felt was the single biggest differentiator that got you to where you are today? There were several overlapping themes, and their insights are found in this episode! If you know deep down that there’s something that needs to be heard, there’s no better time than now to get out of your own way and begin making your impression on the world.

In this episode, I share:

  • The top 5 steps that will take you from being the hurried unheard leader to the fulfilled and bold leader
  • How categorizing your work into levels of value can help you prioritize your day
  • An overview of the radical candor concept and why getting uncomfortable is necessary for leadership
  • 3 things to look for when searching for a coach to take your work to the next level
