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

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.
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 ...
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 ...
