Choose & Become!
Trish Kendall, an expert on creating enduring success and an international keynote speaker, unearths the inspirational stories of her guests as they share their journeys to enduring success with us. If you ask her, Trish will tell you she has become the most successful person she knows. She is proud of her career, is a trusting and trusted member of her community, and is a loving wife and devoted mother of two children. All simple measures, but far more than she ever thought she would have. Her childhood was tortured by relentless sexual abuse, neglect, and ultimately, a crystal meth addiction that led to her near suicide at 20 years old. But Trish climbed from the pit of despair and summited the peak of success—enduring success—by making five critical choices. Today, she inspires others to achieve enduring success and provides a pathway there for all. In this Choose & Become series, Trish and her guests share their insights, lessons, and wisdom as it relates to these five choices on their journeys to creating enduring success. www.trishkendall.com

Most of us listen to react. But the highest form of listening?
Listening to understand the person. ???? When was the last time you truly listened?
About Trish:
To give love is a choice. And making that choice is how we create true success in our lives, yet for countless reasons, it can be the hardest choice to make.
Trish inspires you to make that choice each day.

People want to be with people. ????
I flew to Minneapolis early AM the day before a speaking event so I could spend informal time with a client whom I don’t get to see in person often. It was awesome—personally and professionally very productive.
As I drove downtown Minneapolis to my next destination, I stopped at a crosswalk where two groups of people (must have been conference attendees) were reuniting. I could feel their joy —...
I often reflect on the questions I am asked after I deliver my signature inspirational keynote Choose & become. One question that comes up from time to time is this:
“How long did it take you to trust your husband, especially once you became a mother?”
For me, the answer is simple, but the journey to get there was not.
I was 35 when I married Joe. By then, I had spent years doing the individual work—counseling, deep self-reflec...
About this Episode:
We don’t always get love right. At work, at home, in parenting — sometimes our reactions don’t reflect the love we want to give.
That’s life. That’s being human.
The gift is this: we always get to reset.
To reflect on the choices we made, acknowledge what didn’t align with love the verb, and then make a different choice next time.
Boundless love isn’t about perfection. It’s about being aware, being willing to pa...
We cannot create enduring success if we are not committing to agreements with one another.
We make two-way agreements—formal or informal—when we care about something or someone, and the desired outcome depends on our actions AND the actions of someone else.
The problem is . . . too often people think they’ve made an agreement but what they have really made are assumptions.
Assumptions kill outcomes, intentions, projects and relat...
What does it really take to grow—not just in leadership or work, but in life? If you long for others to become all you know they can, this episode gently reminds you: we must walk with them, not just cheer from the sidelines.

Inspired by Atomic Habits—what if choosing love became a daily habit?
Not the emotion—the verb.
Love, the action.
We can stack it onto the moments we already have:
A meeting.
A hello.
A moment of quiet.
That’s how we create enduring success—for ourselves and for others.

What is the “want to” that is fueling your development journey?
That want to is what pushes us to grow—to learn, to choose, to become.
What are you an expert at?
Not THE expert. But an expert.
The kind of expert who doesn’t need to cite other people’s work—because it lives in you.
Because it is at the core of who you are.
For me?
I’m an expert in giving and receiving love—the verb.
And in making choices. Especially the kind that create enduring success.
What about you?
We have all experienced something that requires resiliency to move forward.
A roadblock. A fear. A quiet voice telling us we’re not enough.
Resilience isn’t about comparing who’s had it worse—it’s about how we respond. Over and over again.
And through it all, we get to choose:
To grow.
To give all our love.
To receive the love others want to give us.

My sister Maria was 18 when she found out I was being abused too.
Her fierce love overpowered her pain—and she poured everything she had into protecting me.
She’s the reason I’m here.
She’s my hero.
Don’t mess with her.
I observe people embrace the action of love in the workplace all the time. They lead with compassion, kindness, patience, and care.
But saying the word “love” in the workplace isn’t commonly accepted or embraced. The behaviors are embraced. But not the language.
I’m curious about this. Why is the word “love” not embraced like the words: caring or kindness or compassion? I don’t have the answer. What do you think?
I do know that i...
“Be better, not bitter.”
⏰ Our calendar can control us—or we can control our calendar.
I had an introductory video meeting with someone I’d been really looking forward to… but I booked another meeting right after. No space to reflect, no time to reset.
I missed out on being fully present for the entirety of both conversations. I was really disappointed. I know better than that.
I explore with teams the choice to give all our love, the verb and create end...
Episode Summary:
Every Choose & Become keynote and workshop . . . I know what’s at stake.
I always inspire my audience to believe we each have the power to choose who we become. That’s what I’m hired to do.
And when many people choose to take immediate action—when they choose differently, lead differently, love differently—that’s even better.
But it’s the one person who stays with me.
The one person who makes one choice ...

You have a personal brand—whether you’ve intentionally defined it or not.
The good news? You get to choose how you show up—in every interaction.
You can shape how people think and feel every time they interact with you.

Episode Summary:
When a child or loved one takes their frustration out on you, take a breath. Maybe it’s because they feel safe with you. Love can hold space, even in the hard moments.
Who in your life needs that kind of love today?
