10X Impact Conversations

In today's podcast, we're talking about Conscious Mindset.

Last week, we explored what Conscious Leadership looks like in the midst of chaos, and the baseline requirement of Conscious Leadership is mindset.

No amount of brilliance, strategic acumen, or charisma trumps mindset. In fact, without an elevated mindset, we can never be more than an optimized mediocre.

So, what is mindset and how can we build a positive mindset muscle?

We're going to deep dive that in this episode.

If you didn't listen to last week's podcast, Conscious Leadership In the Midst of Chaos, I encourage you to start with that episode first. Listen Here.

Also, this is the perfect time to condition and tone your mindset. The Ignite Your Impact Digital Course will take you through this process immersion style. Get Your Program Here.

I don't know about you, but I suddenly have unexpected time on my hands. This is the ideal time to create a meditation practice. Read this blog for 10 inspiring reasons to begin today.

In today's episode, I'm sharing what it means to be a Conscious Leader in the midst of chaos. The chaos we're in the midst of now is the Corona Virus, but this is not our first rodeo.

Chaos is a part of life, and we have a choice to make when it presents itself: Who Will We Be In It?

So, I'm going to share 5 steps you can take to using your business, relationships, and communities as a positive platform of leadership.

PLUS we'll close with 4 tips on how to get back your own sanity.

A few references in the podcast:

• The Digital Course, IGNITE YOUR IMPACT, that is the perfect personal strategy session you can use while #socialdistancing. You will get clarity on what you want to create once we arrive on the other side as well as refine mindfulness and health habits that will help you thrive throughout this time. Get Your Program Here.
• Blog Post On A New Paradigm of Making Decisions. It will change your decision process. Read It Here

We can have a meaningful impact that significantly shifts the way people are feeling and thus responding to what's happening around us.

In today's episode I'm talking with Marie Eckstein who shares candidly her sense of loss and struggle to rediscover who she was beyond her job.

Marie had a long corporate career that took her to the executive table of a global chemical company until internal and external conditions shifted unexpectedly and wildly; resulting in a closure of that career.

You'll hear her talk about her journey to manifest that truth, her work to redefine herself as professional, and her leap to begin Red Dirt Road; a company that supports female entrepreneurs and makers in Cambodia.

Red Dirt Road is a social enterprise intent on elevating women who then elevate communities. It is a story of the flywheel of abundance and opportunity.

Their tag line; Change Lives, Shop Red Dirt Road, perfectly captures the impact you can have if you choose to support them. There is a wonderful short film on the home page that will inspire you.

Be a voice for those who don't have one- Marie Eckstein

In today's episode, I'm talking with Tonya Dalton of Inkwell Press about all things productivity.

We think about productivity as a system, and it is. But Tonya keeps us focused on the most important aspect of creating impact: staying true to our vision and our why in a practical, efficient way.

In fact, focusing our attention on our WHY takes tremendous discipline.

"It's not about what you do, it's about why you do it and what problem are you solving." -Tonya

FB & IG: Pure Potential With Laura Juarez

In this week's episode, we are doing the topical overview of holistic health; meaning we'll do a quick deep dive into the 9 domains of wellness which sets the table for you to create a plan to move towards the vitality, joy, and wellbeing you envision.

I am a bit of a health nut and student of the impact of health on our effectiveness, creativity, and productivity. This is a teaser to encourage deeper self exploration.

Our health is far more than physical, emotional, and mental. And our personal health template is certainly more dynamic than how we move or what we put in our mouths.

My hope is that this episode can act as a diagnostic checklist against which you can benchmark your own well-being for the purpose of creating positive shift moving forward.

Enjoy! Laura

I am delighted to introduce you to Eileen Odum. Eileen is a colleague of mine, and thus, I've had the opportunity to witness her skillful leadership at the board table and with teams.

In this conversation, Eileen and I talk about what truly engaged leadership is, how to capitalize on the latent passion and talent of your team, and how to get buy-in when performance and trust is waning.

"We judge ourselves by our intentions. Others judge us by our actions. Our job as leaders is to align the two." - Eileen Odum

Prior to pivoting to a career phase focused on Board of Director positions, Eileen was the CEO of NiSource, Indiana's largest public utility and President of National Operations for Verizon. To learn more about her, visit her LinkedIn Profile.

This week, I'm sharing my 20 goals for 2020 as well as how they wrap around my larger intention - my mantra - for the year.

If you listened to the first episode of 2020, you heard me talk about the distinction between intention and resolution / goal (if you didn't listen, zip back and pick it up as its full of useful info).

In this episode, I get personal on what's on my radar and why; all from the lands of "for pure pleasure" to the "build the muscle" to the "knock it out of the park."

I love connection, and this felt like a great way to share a little bit more about me in a way that inspired and piqued thought for you in your own life. Because really - that's where all of this matters.

If you love the idea of 20 in 2020, write your own & share at least ONE on the Pure Potential FB page.

The first 20 people to share will get entered in a drawing for a Free IGNITE YOUR IMPACT workbook and digital course. :)

Cheers to A Happy New Year (and if you think I'm a bit belated, you definitely need to listen to this episode).
