Trapped in Life's Hamster Wheel
Coach, Communication, Unlimited LeaderIt's the zone of apathy and inaction. The moments when you're so overwhelmed you don't know what to do, so you choose nothing. And while the weight seems so massive, there is a way forward.

What You See Affects Your Ability to Move Forward
Coach, Unlimited LeaderEnergy can be categorized into 7 lenses that deepen your awareness and ability to articulate how they shape your view of yourself and your capability.

The Power of a Simple Message
Connection, Uncategorized, Unlimited LeaderQuite simply, you're the best. You are undeniably worthy of whatever it is you want in this world. Your soul and specific talents are on this earth for a reason. Let your light shine for the world to see.

The Impact of Energy
Coach, Unlimited LeaderIt wasn’t until I was introduced to the concept of energy through coaching that my roller coaster of thoughts and emotions started making sense. Simply having more succinct language to describe what I was experiencing brought peace and clarity.

Using Your Discomfort to Find Your Strength
Competence, Connection, Unlimited LeaderRegardless of field, industry, or individual role, we all feel discomfort on the job at some point. That discomfort can be fleeting, or it can linger. Before you know it, years have passed and you're miserable.

Honesty May Be the Best Policy, But What is Truth?
Coach, Connection, Unlimited LeaderLeadership is ALL about self awareness, which is the ultimate truth. You can be the absolute best at strategy development, presentations, delegation, mediation, but if you don't know yourself and how to manage YOU in any situation well then it's all for nothing.

Leadership Lessons from a 17 Year Old
Competence, Connection, Unlimited LeaderI’ve always had an affinity for those in the Armed Forces. I tear up EVERY TIME I see them in the airport (no matter if they're going to or from), in the grocery store, or driving in their car in uniform. As I watched the live stream of my nephew's boot camp graduation, I couldn’t help but equate it to leadership lessons that apply to all of us - military or civilian.

Equality Starts with Fostering Belonging
Coach, Connection, Unlimited LeaderThese are difficult times! Values are being challenged, perspectives are being pushed, and so of course emotions are running high all over the place. How could they not be?! It would be shocking if they weren't. And so of course it stands to reason in the midst of all of this, equality is top of mind.

PIVOT!
Coach, Communication, Unlimited LeaderEvery business - regardless of industry, focus, or size - pivots at some point in its journey. If not multiple points. My business was officially opened in November 2019, and has pivoted 4 times. Some of that has to do with me being new to this game and feeling my way through it. The other stuff has to do with it "just not feeling right".

Change Starts at the Soul
Connection, Unlimited LeaderAs humans we have the amazing ability to change past conditioning. We can achieve this by releasing negativity...engaging in uplifting activities. In this way we can develop new positive ways of living and begin to clear the subconscious of all that does not serve us. True transformation is brought about by ... attention (focus) and intention (clear vision of a desired outcome).

HR Chat Series Ep7 - Servant Leadership Inspiration
Coach, Communication, Connection, Unlimited LeaderJenny Williams, Sr. HR Business Partner with GE Aviation, kicked her servant leadership mindset into high gear when Covid-19 hit. One tiny LinkedIn post about helping displaced workers with their resumes blew up - in the most amazing way! In the last 10 weeks, she's supported 62 individuals ... and still counting ... doctor up their resumes and find new positions.

Change Isn't the Issue
Coach, Competence, Uncategorized, Unlimited LeaderI'd like to petition for a permanent shift in perspective among the human race. So often as a coach I hear, "I just don't like change." Makes total sense! You were humming along doing really well at something. Then BAM! Some catalyst rocked your whole world. Now you're standing in some abyss of unknown and you're not a fan.

HR Chat Series Ep6 - Demystifying Unemployment
Communication, Competence, Unlimited LeaderColleen Drennen Pfaller, joined us to talk about unemployment - what it is, what it isn't, who it's for, and how to properly approach it from an HR and employee perspective. Colleen's infectious energy and deep knowledge brings clarity to and removes the stigma around this often sticky topic.

HR Chat Series Ep5 - Why CHROs make great CEOs
Coach, Connection, Cutlure, Unlimited LeaderIn today's episode of the HR Chat Series #otherfrontline, we were joined by one of my very good friends, Cheryl Czach, founder and CEO of Cheryl Czach Coaching and Consulting. The topic? CHROs make some of the best CEOs. Cheryl offers several case studies as well as her personal experience to show how that is the very case.

HR Chat Series Ep4 - How to #BeUnshakable Leaders
Coach, Cutlure, Unlimited LeaderToday Stephanie Polen, executive coach and CEO of The Polen Group, joined us to talk about how to infuse unshakable leadership practices as we step into our "next normal". Stephanie intentionally coined the phrase next normal vs. new normal to remind us that not everything we were doing was all terrible. There were a lot of things we did very well, but of course there's room for improvement.

Define Your Legacy
Connection, Uncategorized, Unlimited LeaderAt the end of the day, none of us can control how others perceive us - now or at the time of our physical death. But if we set an intention, much like my friend’s dad, to live in a way that allows us to share in this human experience with love, compassion, empathy, and inclusion, we will have left this earth with an immeasurable impact that will never die.

HR Chat Series Ep 3 - Engagement and Purpose after Covid-19
Connection, Cutlure, Uncategorized, Unlimited LeaderJohn McCarthy, CEO of The Purpose Promise, talks about finding empathy to connect with displaced employees in the Covid-19 world. The "new normal" labor market will be even more competitive than it was before it all started, so how HR and business leaders treat employees now will hugely affect recruitment, lasting engagement, and ultimately company culture and retention in the new normal.

HR Chat Series Ep 2 - Post Covid-19 Return to Work
Coach, Communication, Unlimited LeaderThe uncertainty of post-Covid-19 work environments causes understandable discomfort. On top of that, HR leaders are at the helm of navigating uncharted return to work procedures and ADA accommodations.

HR Chat Series Kick Off
Communication, Cutlure, Unlimited LeaderThis week marked our HR Chat Series Kick Off. Last week I connected with a few former colleagues and we got to talking how we can give back to the HR community that's doing so much to guide, manage, and protect their companies and its employees through these unprecedented times.

The Tricky Thing About Resistance
Competence, Unlimited LeaderResistance in this moment makes total sense! We’ve been dealt a tough hand. One that no one on this planet has faced before, so of course we’re digging in! It would be surprising if we weren’t resisting all that crap that’s been thrown our way. We’re genetically wired to fight or flee; and as a determined people, we want to beat (i.e. resist) this thing!

Letter From My Inner Critic
Communication, Connection, Unlimited LeaderNo one is immune from an inner critic. We all create them. Part of healing is repurposing its standard message. Last week I wrote a note to Louie, my inner critic, thanking him for his protection. This week, I got his response.

Thank You Letter to My Inner Critic
Communication, Connection, Unlimited LeaderAt the root of every internal block we face, lives a tiny little ball of energy whose sole purpose is to protect us from pain. I call it my inner critic. We all have one - if not more than one.
As part of my separation process, I've come to appreciate him and would like to let him know that it's time to move on.

You Don't Deserve Self-Imposed Anguish
Communication, Connection, Unlimited LeaderIt’s amazing the amount of pressure we place on ourselves even at a young age. And even more amazing the length of time we carry it around thinking it will never go away; convinced this is “just the way life is”. It isn't.

Emotions ABSOLUTELY Belong at Work
Connection, Cutlure, Unlimited LeaderLeaders are in the business of motivating others - to get things done, to believe they’re capable of more, to reach new heights in their careers. And the quickest way to do that is through … wait for it … emotions.

But first … take care of yourself
Unlimited LeaderIt’s nearly impossible to be there - effectively - for your team if you’re not giving yourself attention. This is especially true among new leaders and those who get caught up in the servant leadership mindset. And by no means is there anything wrong with servant leadership. The concept is amazing!

Stop Blaming Other People for How You Feel
Unlimited LeaderYou’re in complete control of how you feel. Whether you recognize it or not, you choose how you react. While at times it may feel like a knee jerk response, and more often than not we describe it as such, the truth is that you’re always at choice when it comes to responding to stimuli.

Omniscient Isn’t in Your Job Description
Unlimited LeaderOne of the most most common pitfalls budding leaders experience is the perception that having all the answers is their #1 job. Nope. Not even close. You’re not God or whatever higher power you believe has all the answers. You’re not omniscient.

The Number 1 Thing Holding You Back from Realizing Your Value
Unlimited LeaderDo you often think or feel you’re not living at your full value? Do you often think or feel that you’re worth more - financially, emotionally, physically, mentally? At some point we’ve all questioned our value; which is absolutely normal.
