True design breakthroughs come, not just in whatever your innovation is or whatever it is that you’re designing, but through a process of learning how to serve and how to best understand your users. 

Design thinking is a powerhouse skill that can be applied to any situation where there is a problem to solve. This simultaneously rigorous and flexible methodology can be applied to healthcare problems, organizational problems, leadership problems, process design, service design, and so much more. 

This training will guide you through the fundamentals of the design thinking process and give you innovative skills to share with your team and colleagues. 

Featuring Luke Entrup, Partner in Evolution, this design thinking crash course will arm you with new frameworks and parameters to keep your design process focused, creative, and user-oriented. 

No matter what tasks you’re working on, the work is always the inner work.

There's nothing that you're not allowed to want. You are allowed to want what you actually want. There's no, “should”, necessary. There's no, “I need to”.  

If you're heading into a new year's resolution process or you're setting goals for your team, your company, or your family, I invite you to build a foundation for making a massive change that's actually in service of your deepest, most authentic self. I’m here to support you in playing with this idea of, "from above the line, I don't need anything. There's nothing I should do. There's nothing I have to do. However, I can want. I can have strong preferences. I can stand for things. I can be committed." In this mindset, from above the line – that's where genuine change happens. 

There's nothing more human than creating and there's nothing more human than creating change. So, this week, I want to invite you into a really different process; a conscious process of allowing ourselves to be a vehicle for change to happen.

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States and it's one of my favorite holidays, although this year is going to look pretty different for almost all of us. This is also normally the week where we would talk a lot about gratitude and why it's important. One of the things that I often see is that it's easy to be grateful for things that seem really profound and important. It's not usually something we consider, to be grateful for that which we find most challenging. 

2020 has been the year of challenges. However, these challenges have made us wake up and realize that it is now time to face these things which we did not want to face before. Finding gratitude within your challenges can be empowering and allows you to take back control of something that may have felt beyond your control.

Flipping something that seems like an unwelcome challenge and looking for how this might be exactly the right thing for you right now can be hugely beneficial and spur both personal and interpersonal growth. It’s not always easy to do, but in many of life's circumstances, it can be true that there is a silver lining.

Today, we are tackling one of the most commonly experienced ways to suffer that I have ever come across in all of my coaching work, and it is something called the Imposter Syndrome. 

The Imposter Syndrome is when you really feel like you are a fraud, and everyone might find out that you've been faking it this whole time, and that you aren’t qualified to actually do the job that you're doing, to have received the rewards that you're receiving, to be in the role or position that you're in, or to have the confidence, success, happiness, or ease that you currently have. 

Are you in a position right now, where you feel unsure of yourself, maybe self-critical or self-judgmental? Do you feel paranoid, afraid that others can see through you, feel guilty or anxious about it, or ashamed,? Do you find yourself up all night long, indulging in overworking in an attempt to make up this deficit? 

It's time to question your stories.  

In this episode, you can begin to unravel the stories that are leading to your own experience of the Imposter Syndrome by exploring some techniques and exercises I have found useful for my clients. Curiosity is always a tool that's available for you to use, and it's especially important when you feel like it's not okay that you don't know everything. That's the time when you need it most.

How do you ask for and get what you want? I used to be a business school professor and one of the key courses I would teach to MBAs, undergrads and executive MBAs is negotiation, the skills and theories around negotiation and how to get what you want. By far, the biggest takeaway is how most of the time people ask for what they think they can get, instead of what they want.

Last week on the show, Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of Women's Executive Network Leadership Educational Platform, Kahilla, shared their co-leadership strategies, and in this episode, I share a separate conversation I had with them on their podcast called “Conversations at Base Camp” where we cover Zone of Genius and how it relates to asking for and getting what you want, as well as applicable strategies for having real-life negotiation conversations so that you can increase the lifetime value in a monetary fashion but also in many other ways of your career.

It’s time to get inspired to design the business and leadership lifestyle of your dreams. 

Regardless of what you do, you are a leader of your own life. You lead in your home. You lead in your work. You lead in your personal life. A common struggle that many of you have already faced is how to lead as a whole human with a whole life. Leaders often compartmentalize and make choices in one area of their lives while neglecting certain other areas. This doesn’t have to be the case. You can make choices that allow you to bring all parts of yourself onto the table. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal life to grow a successful business. 

Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of the rapidly growing business, Kahilla, are here to explore this unconventional idea with you. These remarkable women have found a way to lead together that supports each of them in their whole beings, all while building a thriving business. They share the decisions they've made on how they designed their company and partnership, as well as the very popular leadership advice they have chosen to ignore in order to create the type of life that serves them, their families and a community of empowered women around the world.

Today, let’s dive into the concept of humans being made of many selves. You’ve likely heard me mentioning “a part of me” or “a part of you”. There are a lot of different parts of you that, combined, make up your whole self. Each of these parts can be identified as a different persona with its own unique needs, fears, desires, personality, and quirks. They even have their own heroes, role models, and values.

Often, when you get into inner conflict or any kind of suffering, it’s because there are parts of you who are not getting along with each other.  

When you can identify your personas and resolve the conflicts between them so that they truly trust and rely on each other, you can find more peace, ease, and confidence. In this episode, learn how to begin unpacking your own personas so that all of your amazing and unique parts can begin to work together as a whole.
