Today’s episode is focused on Imperfect Action. Can you think of people in your life who seem to have it all together? They don’t let obstacles get in their way. They just keep making things happen no matter what.

76. Slowing Down to Speed Up
Today’s podcast is focused on slowing down in order to speed up. You might ask yourself why on earth would I slow down when there is so much to do? It is natural to think that way, but you can be so much more productive, strategic and even happier when you give yourself time to reflect and plan. I am sure you are thinking…seriously?

72. Remote Leadership
Today’s episode is focused on remote leadership. The world changed for leaders in 2020, and for those who had never led a team remotely before, it was a big adjustment.

Now everyone was experiencing it no matter where they were in the world, and all at the same time.

71. Maintaining a Neutral Mindset
Today’s episode is focused on how to maintain a neutral mindset. Having a neutral mindset helps you maintain your emotions and be open-minded when others may not be able to do that. You can’t make good decisions if you are in a fight-or-flight moment. The goal isn’t to be over-the-top negative or positive. Achieving the outcome you want is about remaining calm and accepting whatever situation you ...
70. Becoming a Leader
Today’s episode is focused on becoming a leader of a team or even taking over a team. It is very exciting when it happens to you.

Having a strong leadership foundation is great way to start, but then what? You can take every class there is, but this is about...

67. Empowering Yourself to Make a Career Transition
Today’s episode is focused on how to make the decision for yourself on whether or not to make a career transition.

64. Networking to Build Connections and Visibility
Today we are talking about how to use networking to build connections and increase your visibility. I will be approaching this from both the in-person view as well as online.
