  • Why Being More Productive Won't Solve Your Problems - EP086
    Aug 22 2022

    Many of my coaching clients come to me wanting to be more productive because they aren't meeting some goal or expectation they've set for themselves. 

     

    You can do a Google search and find hundreds of productivity hacks.

     

    But is doing more really the answer?

    Not always! 

     

    So, how can you determine the productivity issues you're really trying to solve?

     

    On this episode of Career Confessions, I'll walk you through some reasons we seek the answers to more success in all the wrong places. Then I guide you through some insight into how to dig deeper to determine what productivity really means to and for you. 

     

    Listen in as I share how saying NO can help you find the time you dream of for your most critical non-negotiables. Plus, I share a fun exercise you can do to pull back from some of the forces pulling you in all different directions and find the center of YOUR vision for success.

     

    Did you know that when you and I work together on your coaching plan, we not only create a performance routine that works for you while we work together, but we also create a 6-month go-forward plan for when our time together ends?

    If you are interested in taking the next step on your success journey, fill out the form of my bio, and let's chat!

  • 3 Ways to Sidestep Career Blocking Branding Moves - EP085
    Aug 8 2022

    What projects do you want to be known for?

    Do you want to be known as a leader or the go-to name for your dream project?

    Are you sure about what you’re projecting when it comes to your personal brand?

    It can be challenging to stay focused on who we are, so we project the right things in our personal brand while working on projects, paying bills, and raising our families. 

     

    But if you don't take charge of evaluating and solidifying your brand, who will? 

     

    And if you're not taking the time to check in on your personal brand, it can lead to a significant gap in how others perceive you and how you see yourself as a professional. 

     

    So how can you evolve your brand to ensure it aligns with where you want to go next?

     

    On this episode of Career Confessions, I'm sharing two topics that have recently been a recurring theme in my coaching practice. I'm also sharing some personal insight into how something I visualized for over a year came to be and how I intentionally released my emotions about the end of one big project before beginning a new one.

     

    I'll walk you through some insider information I shared with my group coaching clients and some advice I gave a private client about why you must advocate for yourself in your career and how you can do so in a way that feels organic to you.

     

    Listen in as I share the 3 things you must continually evaluate and reevaluate for limiting factors in your brand. Plus, I offer some homework for my listeners to help you make sure your brand aligns with where you want to go next. 

     

    I have one private coaching spot open, and I'd love to take you to the finish line! But the only way to work with me is to apply—so fill out the form NOW!



    Key Takeaways 

    Why it’s vital to release emotional baggage to keep it from coming along on your career journey

    2 reasons why it’s so hard to advocate for yourself at work

    How to share your wins so it doesn’t feel like bragging

    Why flexing your problem-solving nature is not just your win, but a victory for the whole team

    What things to look at when auditing your brand to be sure it aligns with your goals 

    How taking the time to get honest about where you are gives you the clarity to toward the right opportunities

  • Do You Have the Millionaire Mindset? - EP084
    Jul 25 2022

    Do you have the millionaire mindset?

     

    I am not talking about what you have in your bank account, although I believe that money will be a side-effect. 

     

    I'm talking about developing the focus to chase the version of yourself you see in your mind's eye. 

     

    It's hard to step into the unknown and make the changes required to get you where you want to be—but it's always worth it. 

     

    So how can you get to what is waiting out there for you?

     

    On this episode of Career Confessions, I'm sharing what having a millionaire mindset really means. I share an update about where I was last year‌, where I am now in my entrepreneurial journey, and what it took to build a second business in just a year. 

     

    Listen in as I share insight into how to audit your life, so you can begin stepping away from the habits and relationships that are getting in the way of the things you truly want. 

     

    I'll walk you through how I re-prioritize my life‌ based on impact and how you can do the same with the things on your own to-do list. 

     

    There's a version of yourself out there that I know you can visually see, to get there you need to adopt a millionaire mindset. 

     

    Key Takeaways  

     

    Why you must let go of the things that no longer serve you to move the needle

    How to surround yourself with the people that will inspire your greatness

    How re-prioritizing based on impact keeps me in a healthy, millionaire mindset 

    Why it's important to build a brand within your personal boundaries

    How setting unrealistic goals can help you move past your fear of failure

    Why opening yourself up to more no’s increases your odds of success. 

    Why ditching the rule book and forging your own path is the key to more success

    Why you have to say no to the life you have to achieve the life you want
