Do You Have So Much To Say?

Hello and Happy Monday!?

I'm jumping right in with a story. One of my clients was working through her journey of honoring that she no longer wanted to put other people above her on any kind of hierarchy. She claimed this with her mantra "I have a lot to say!" YEASSSSS !! Yes you do!!??

And you know what? I feel the same way! I have so much to say AND I realized this has kept me stuck from publishing this newsletter. I found it overwhelming to have to pick and choose! But I did have a conversation with a friend of mine (thank you!), and she helped me to snap out of it! Another reminder for me that no choice is right or wrong - it's all forward progress - and the real challenge is when you make no decision at all! Let this be another reminder for you to just pick the one micro action towards your goals and watch the magic unfold!?

Part of my 'choosing' conundrum has to do with the fact that I have so many new episodes on The Unlock Lab podcast!??To help YOU choose, I shared them below with their short description.

I also want to share an interview I did on another podcast: EMPOWEROGRAPHY, because not only did the host Brad Walsh have so many fantastic questions, but we also laughed a lot while talking about some really important topics! We covered a lot of ground related to leadership - and have highlighted some of the key topics here. But please, tune in and listen because there is so much more I had to say.?

Empowerography Podcast Interview Key Topics:

• How I approach conversations with clients when I start getting nervous.
• Why it's important to actually let our inner critics air out their thoughts
• My take on the most important quality in a coach and in a leader and the process that best supports leadership development
• My definition transformational leadership, what mindset shifts support this and how to align personal values with authentic leadership (future book perhaps?!)
• How leaders can prevent burnout, plus a soapbox rant on 'masculine hustle culture bullshi$"!
• How I help leaders navigate and overcome resistance and foster a culture of openness and adaptability?
• The push and the pull of entrepreneurship – it’s NORMAL!
• Fun rapid fire Q&A
