Episode Summary:

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that came into focus during a recent trip to NYC. Over the course of 36 hours, I had three major visibility opportunities—two were amazing, and one totally flopped. But instead of spiraling over the one that didn’t land, I felt grounded. Why? Because I had volume on my side.

When you stack opportunities, no single one has the power to derail your confidence. We ...

This time last year, I was turning in the first draft of my manuscript for The Rest Revolution. 

While I still had many edits and revisions ahead, submitting the manuscript marked a turning point. It punctuated a season of deep personal and spiritual obedience.

Just three years earlier, I’d gotten honest with myself about what was missing in my life. I had a gnawing sense that I wasn’t sharing enough of my own words, my voice, my t...

The current news cycle is so fast-paced and constantly changing, it makes it difficult to discern where to put your focus, especially when you need to stay informed about current events. The result can be a state of sensory overwhelm that can cloud your judgment and make it difficult to make decisions about everything, including ...

Let me be honest for a second.

I have encouraged clients to make themselves visible for YEARS. But some time ago, I began to question the point of it all.

Yes. I had to sit with the truth of how tiresome visibility...

Sometimes, you have to disappear for a while...

It can feel oddly vulnerable to disappear from public view - whether your version of public view is social media, a public speaking circuit, or the networking rooms for your industry. But EVERYONE disappears at some point - whether they leave a job, lose a job, have a baby, bury a parent, shutter their business, lose their motivation, or like me, succum...

The end of the year is the perfect time to manifest money quickly. Many people are thinking about how they want to make changes in their lives, or may be reflecting on what they didn't accomplish this year that they need to bring back into focus.

This is where you come in.

How can you position your skillset as the solution to someone's end of year problem? How can you make yourself top of mind for those who may be ready to work wit...

Another rewind episode finds us here. This one is a bit personal, I've noticed a pattern with myself lately. I've been getting these confirmations about the things I'm doing that correspond to practices and worlds I'm not well-versed in. I heard the same message from two different people in as many days so I thought - hmm - maybe that's a podcast!

The message was - we are often affected by forces we're not even aware of.

It all goe...

I’ve never done a rewind episode, before but I was reminded by how many episodes I’ve recorded (157 and counting, yay!) AND how everyone listening hasn’t necessarily been here since the beginning. And even for those of you who HAVE been here since the beginning, some episodes bear repeating, so here we are.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the intentions we set and how even when we make plans, our intentions tend to make the real dif...

You can land a mainstream book deal during a pandemic without a huge following... 🤯🤯🤯

After working together in our PYGA Agency program this spring and summer, our longtime client and academy alum Amber Cabral, a diversity consultant and Fortune 500 trainer, landed a mainstream book deal with Wiley Press. It all happened really fast - Amber wrote the book over the summer and it will be released on November 17 in just a few weeks...

A little update about where the Package Your Genius podcast is going...

I haven't sat down to record an episode of Package Your Genius in eight months and for that, I need to be straight up with you and offer my sincerest apologies.

When the year started, I was in a season of searching that took me a little longer than it usually takes at the beginning of a new year. I knew I was on the cusp of a season of personal and business c...

As a personal branding coach to high achievers, I have a special insight into the inner lives of many of my clients. And one unfortunate thing many of them have in common? 

They don't see themselves clearly.

Their possibility and their potential for GREATNESS is often obscured by a lack of self-awareness.

So they downplay their gifts, sell themselves short, and end up overlooked for the very opportunities they seek.

Since the compa...
