Hey there, listener. Throughout life we meet people who totally change the trajectory of who we are by the value they bring. Today I’m super excited to bring you someone who has been that change for me.   Arica Ohloff is a dear friend who I’ve worked closely with for the last few years and I credit so much growth I’ve experienced to her. She encourages me to be confident in who I am, what I bring, and who I am supposed to be. I hope she inspires the same for you in today’s episode.  Key Takeaways

• The role Arica is the most proud of is mother to her second-grade son. We spend some time discussing the joys and pains of raising boys.
• As a coach and speaker Arica’s mission is to help people love who they are. 
• Arica coaches according to the Gallup Test Strengths Assessment. “I believe people want to know that who they are and what they do matters.”
• “Actually, I can’t be world class at every component of this business and so now I’m going to look for who could be good in those roles.”
• “Confidence backed by humility are the two greatest gifts we can have and then we also create greater engagement from the people around us”
• “It is a great privilege of mine to come along side leaders and help elevate their people. Great companies invest in the growth and development of their people but also great people invest in the growth and development of themselves.”
• If you feel like you are the only one struggling with hiring for roles, you are not alone. Arica says many leaders are frustrated with the current hiring climate.
• Arica is inspired by statistics: “Most experts believe 90% of people go to their grave tapping in to only 10% of their potential.”
