This month has been all about setting our listeners up spiritually, tactically, and emotionally for 2023, but sometimes a solid business plan or healthy mindset is not enough to secure success. Sometimes people need to visually focus on the plan ahead and map it out. As we close in on the end of this year, we introduce the  practice of vision boarding as another option to ensure they follow their goals.  Our guest, Gail Burns, has used them over the years to manifest career changes, life changes, moving to new places, and so much more. As a career success coach specializing in real estate, Gail helps new realtors manifest an entrepreneurial mindset in starting their business, and vision boards are just one way to do it. Gail will walk our listeners through best practices in creating vision boards, discuss the intentions behind them and walks us through how they have helped her and her clients amass success over the years.  Learn how to visually plan for the year ahead in this powerful episode about success, focus and all those positive things.

Steve M. Beauchamp is all about balance - as a Certified Ikigai Tribe coach , he applies Japanese wisdom & philosophies to Western professionals as many companies in the US are trying to adopt in their culture. In this informative episode, Steve helps our listeners tap into the practices of the samurai; a very disciplined group who followed the 8 virtues of the Bushido code - Righteousness, Loyalty, Honor, Respect, Honesty, Courage and Consistency.

As we close 2022, this helps us end the year as we began, with a mindset of abundance and a better way to move forward toward 2023.

While there is no guarantee in business that you will succeed, the one sure fire way to ensure you won't, is to give up.  Perhaps 2022 isn't ending with the economic health you had planned for - that is okay. The important thing is to plan ahead, get crystal clear on your why, and take steps to safeguard your assets during a volatile time - which by the way, can also be very lucrative.  Jill Dulitsky is our guest this week, who has both the financial know-how and the business entrepreneurship experience we need to hear from during unknown times like this - to finish this year strong and empower us to be successful in 2023. It comes from taking simple steps and super clear on your WHY.  Listen in to this week's pearls to chart your course for success in 2023. 

Everyone should be treated with respect in the workplace, and Erin Meadows made that her mission as leader in the corporate setting and now, as a coach, empowers people to build businesses where leaders do the same, and career seekers look for these qualities in a new employer.   We welcome her to 52 Weeks to champion the humanity of people and the respect and compassion that leaders can offer that makes for a much stronger culture and work force.  For more info on Erin's coaching check out her website at: https://erinmeadowscoaching.com!

At this time of year, the feedback of an annual review can seem daunting, especially if the feedback is harsh and ambiguous. Clarity and specificity is incredibly easy to deliver, and it is critical to change and maintenance of empowerment for valued employees.  Life coach Amanda McPherson joins the program to shed insight on how feedback, when done right, can be a smooth, successful process.  

One way to safeguard your top talent is to support their career potential, charting a course for them to thrive in.  Sharissa Sebastian works with Fortune 100 companies to help build that mindset and enable leaders to think differently about career pathing that transcends the typical up-and-to-the-right mentality.  Instead, Sharissa shares ways of empowering employees through coaching and developing in role or in new ways to re-engage them.  Its a winning mindset shift you will want to hear about!

Leadership engagement could be the difference between someone leaving a job or staying.  This episode begs leaders to lean in before people walk out, and make the commitments necessary to engage with people where they are. Natasha Kehimkar of Malida Advisors helps us wrap our heads around trying to meet people at their needs with empathy, compassion and a good dose of healthy conflict to stop people from taking the leap.
