A New Direction

Oh the holidays are upon us.  Black Friday is proclaiming just how much money you will save and Cyber Monday is calling your wallet.  The commercials are telling you to spend, spend, spend!  Your a giver...you want to give the best to everyone and the credit card chip is just one insert a way from signing your name to another gift purchase.

It all feels so good.  The anticipation of waiting in front of the store for hours to get the best deals, and brag about it the next time at work to your colleagues.  Christmas comes those precious treasures are opened and the wrapping paper scattered about the floor.  A giant smile comes across your face...it is after all "A Wonderful Life".

You make it through the New Year full of joy...and possibly the regret of one too many adult beverages, but the holiday season feelings continue.  The smiles on your faces and those of your loved ones recreates a sparkle of the big day past.  Then....

In comes the first credit card bill...it hits you..."Oh what have I done".  Enter the 12 Bar blues and your once smiling and joyful heart turns from "ho ho" to "Oh no".  Could this been avoided?  Heather Wagenhals financial expert, author, and host of "Unlock Your Wealth Today"  gives us some insights into how our brain and behavior have created this situation.  Then as only Heather can do, she unleashes some amazing tips and brain tricks to help you avoid those credit card blues so that you can start your New Year, with A New Direction.

Let's face it we are all in sales.  We are constantly trying to sell ourselves to someone for something.   We try to build rapport believing that is the quickest way to get the win...but wait...are you believable?  Do you really have credibility?  Can you do that quickly?

Rob Jolles new book "Why People Don't Believe You...: Building Credibility from the Inside Out" is a 5 year project that explains why people do not believe you and how to make yourself more believable.  

Think it's about the words you use...well partially...but what appears to be even more important is the tune that those words are being spoken to.  What?  You will need to listen to Episode 21 of A New Direction to get the insights Rob has discovered when it comes to credibility and believability.

Rob Jolles (pronounced jaw-less) is speaker, best selling author and consultant/coach.  He is brilliant, funny, smart, and witty.  I promise this episode will make you laugh, but more importantly it will make you think and help you find A New Direction.

 

As always we need to thank our weekly sponsor Enlign Business Brokers and Advisors.

Whether you own your own business, are a CEO, Manager, or an employee branding is critical.  But where does your brand start?  The fact is it starts with your mission statement.  But how do you carve out your missions statement.  Well that all starts with your core values, and how you live them out.

In Episode 20 of A New Direction, Harvard Law School graduate, retired attorney, professional mediator, negotiator, model, speaker, and author Raye Mitchell talks about "Brandification",  However, what we discover in this episode is the power of your mission statement as it relates to your core values.

Do you know what your core values are?  Are you sure?  If you asked someone else what they think your core values are would they line up with yours?  Great questions for sure.  How you live your life is the best example of what your authentic self is at it's core, and that will determine much of your mission statement.

All of this is based on Raye's book entitled "How Women Negotiate from a Position of Strength. Protecting Brand and Intellectual Property Rights"  HOLD ON GUYS!  Don't let the title turn you away.  This book is for everyone.  It is a very quick read with a workbook attached to help you really re think about who you are, what your doing and finding the opportunities to help you find A NEW DIRECTION!

Grief, Grieving, Sharing Your Loss

At some point we are all going to experience loss.  Grieving that loss is a personal journey.  It matters not if the loss was the death of a spouse, friend, pet, or even the death of a dream.  Even those of you who are digging out of hurricane's Michael and Florence have experienced the loss of perhaps loved ones, your homes, and your memories.  Sadly, loss affects all of us, and we are going to more than likely experience loss multiple times in our lifetime.

On Episode 18 of A New Direction (AND) Dr. Sherry Cormier joins us to talk about her journey of loss and grief through her new book entitled, ""Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness after Loss and Grief"

Dr. Cormier is a psychologist who experienced a wealth of tragedy.  The Loss of her loving husband, her father, her mother, her dog, and her only sibling...all in a relatively short period of time.  Her book takes you through her journey and offers such amazing advice on how to help move you through your own grief as well as giving advice to those of us who are trying to help those we love move through their loss and grief.

This is one of those shows that will benefit you, and benefit those you care about.  The advice is practical, encouraging, and will truly help you and those you love move through their own journey of grief and loss with far more grace.

Dr. Cormier was so gracious with her time that you get an extended version of A New Direction.  So please tell your friends, have them download and listen to the show.  And please share the show with anyone and everyone that is working through their journey of loss and grief.
