Nicole grapples with the concept of "How do I truly make change?" She can now see the possibilities, which makes it even more frustrating trying to figure out how to actually get there... get a better job, career, and life. How does she get to a place of focussing on "gain" instead of "sacrifice"? Erin provides her, and all of you, with some simple but powerful advice - mindset, curiosity, and experimentation. This week Erin Hatzikostas and Nicole Licata Grant release their next episode after a short break for Christmas - everyone deserves a rest sometimes. This is a two-part series where the primary theme is time management. Ironic?! Totally. It does take them some time to get to the main theme, but there are just too many insights and epiphanies on the way to leave them out. They talk change at Nicole's Company, and how you can prepare yourself for, and handle, big shifts in corporate situations. Leading into an important conversation about women in senior positions, or lack thereof as it usually is. They talk about an f'ed up women's conference and out comes the concept of Pancakes vs Waffles - and everything wrong with that idea (hint: it's not actually about pancakes or waffles.) Erin discusses her trip to Michigan and explains what motivates her to run, and how that motivation can be used in any aspect of life, sport, or otherwise. She also discusses the unexpected, positive outcome with her husband and kids If you like jammin' with us on the podcast, b sure to join us for more fun and inspiration! Here are some options...

"We used to have 3 female executives... and now we have 0." "Change is one thing, but I'm just really tired of not seeing anyone like myself making it to the top and staying there." "When you watch the top talent tap-out, you have to wonder is it them deciding they had to compromise who they were for the role or is there another reason they wanted to step down." "We see this all the time, the crappy boss either shows up or doesn't leave. Then the person you really admire, boss or otherwise, leaves and it's very depressing." "It's probably because we're a bunch of pancakes and the men are waffles." "I just want to point out the candy has come out of my pocket." "I have three shirts on, and they all have candy stuffed in the pockets." "I wish my vanity would make me run 13 miles." "If it's always about the sacrifice I'm not going to stick with it, and that's why I try to see things in a different light." "Running isn't for everyone, but the only way to make big changes is to find something you're addicted to." "Let's add tingly scalp as one of the feminine qualities." "Invest in your mindset."
