Beyond The Stethoscope

Favorite quotes of the episode:

"I was so dissatisfied being an employee, that I felt I needed to take the wheel of my life, the wheel of my career versus leaving it someone else's hands."

"My construct around failure used to be win-lose. I was misapplying a lot of definitions. Failure is just a construct. When you try something and it doesn't work, all you've done is learn."

"You can only play the shot you're on. You can just focus on the now."

"An entrepreneur alone is an entrepreneur at risk."

"Hire for DNA not for Resume."

"Get massively curious, ask a lot of questions."

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? We aren't putting ourselves first. Why wait? Look around, start taking care of yourself today. You have to put yourself first to stop and prevent burnout and lead by example for your kids and grandkids.

Favorite quotes of the episode:

"Good leaders want their people to tell them the hard truths."

"Leaders communicate frequently and honestly with their employees."

"It's not about strategic planning, it's just strategic to plan."

"A hallmark of great leadership is a healthy ego with a dose of humility. A healthy ego is one that has the confidence to go forward and make decisions, but with a dose of humility, be willing to listen, take feedback, admit and be willing to right things when you're wrong."

Episode Overview

In this episode, I talk with Kathy Bowman Atkins. Kathy helps CEOs and business leaders set the course for their businesses.

Kathy spent the first couple of decades of her career in Fortune 500 companies, where she was known for her strong interpersonal skills and ability to build consensus among groups to handle complex business challenges. She has created and led teams that excelled in strategic thinking, business planning, communications, culture change, transition management, and personal leadership.

Her no-nonsense approach, combined with her unique talent for asking tough questions, get to the heart of the matter quickly. Business leaders hire her and her team when they are ready for true change.

She doesn't provide the cookie-cutter, feel good, run of the mill strategic advice. She warns her clients upfront; be ready to do some hard work and soul searching. She has perfected the processes for change, and she does something most consultants don't—follow up and follow

through. Her clients will tell you their businesses thrived as a result of working with her. They got clarity—and also the tools they needed to see where their businesses could go.

TOPICS

• Where to start first with strategic planning from an authentic leadership perspective.
• The hallmarks of great leadership.
• How to be an authentic leader and fit into the corporate framework.
• What to do when you think your company is doing great and you don't need any planning?

Q2. What's your definition of Success? Fulfilling your purpose and accomplishing what's important to you.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Peace of mind is when everything is aligned with my integrity, values and ethics.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? Very few decisions are a matter of life and death. Most of the time there is more than one right answer and there are few mistakes that are irreparable.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? I think it's two issues. Not taking the time to figure out what's important and not taking the time for what's important.

Favorite quotes of the episode:

"It really comes down to trust in yourself."

"The real economy is massive, it's 50% of GDP and it's over 90% of the private sector workforce and yet it's completely detached from global capital."

"Left or Right, actually, everybody wants the same things. Everybody wants the best for their family and the best for their children, but it's become so polarized, you are just pigeonholed as one of them and that's not conducive for debate or solving problems."

• Democratizing wealth

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I live between three countries and in each house, I have different routines. I get up and get the kids ready for school then I work, try to get all of my work done by 11 am or 12 pm, and then go work out.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, it's freedom, the ability to choose how my day is laid out.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? The cliche answer is wanting what you have not having what you want. I do have a list of what I'd like to own and that motivates me to do more.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I'm a self-taught merger and acquisitions guy and you are learning all the time and reinventing yourself all the time. I think growing up has really helped and a few good failures have really helped me to be more humble and been a useful life lesson.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Balance, this freedom I talked about. People are obsessed with working hard and you can be a busy fool. I've genuinely noticed there is an inverse correlation between working hard and wealth.

It's a very simple plan, but if I do those three things, I'll feel very good about what I accomplished that day. Before I go to sleep I think of five things I'm proud of.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? Success is a process, it's a mindset growth. Personal and professional growth, it doesn't have to be all about thriving, it's also about getting back up.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Happiness is fleeting but joy is deep and meaningful. What makes me happy is when my kids are proud of me. When my husband supports me. When I am inspired and I'm able to be creative.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? That the dreams I had as a little girl matter. Self-validation matters, when you can accept yourself and validate yourself and also see what God says about you, that is what I wish I would have known 10 years ago.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? I think it's two-fold. I think it's time management and distraction.

Favorite quotes of the episode:

"Happiness for me is an inside job."

"I decided to become a lawyer because I have an advocate's heart."

"This is a way to advocate for people's rights, this is a way to get justice."

"We have an immigration system that needs to be overhauled, it's long past due and we are in unprecedented times. The immigration law we have right now was passed in 1952."

Episode Overview

In this episode, I talk with Donusia Lipinski. For over 33 years, Donusia has been working with immigrants, their families, the employers who hire them and agricultural and seasonal employers.

Donusia is the CEO and founder of Myrtle Beach Immigration Law Office. As a long-time member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, a nonpartisan national organization, Donusia served on the Board of Governors, and also worked as an Associate Director of Advocacy. Donusia has been recognized locally and nationally as a passionate advocate on behalf of immigrants and the dire need for changes in our immigration laws to meet the demands of the global economy.

More recently, Donusia's passion has turned to being a transformational change agent to those who feel their lives have lost meaning or purpose and who are going through the motions of life, rather than living a life they would really love living. As a certified DreamBuilder Coach with the Brave Thinking Institute and Certification as a High Performance Coach through the High-Performance Institute, Donusia focuses on helping people create a vision of the life they would love living in their health and well-being, their relationships, their vocation, and in time and money freedom. Her clients learn to live from their vision, with clarity, and in alignment with their true heart's desire.

Donusia earned her J.D. from Golden Gate University in 1983 and is licensed in Colorado and California. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Donusia was an autoworker and an elementary education teacher. It was her work as an autoworker that propelled her to go to law school.
