This is a bit of a different episode format. Earlene and I meet over a glass of wine to take about what’s on our minds. It all started with a conversation we had on Clubhouse about how, post pandemic we get to choose how we show up, how we can re-invent who we want to be, however it somewhat digressed into one part chat, one part rant, with a good smattering of worthwhile takeaways. Heads up, wine was involved. I liked the chill atmosphere so don’t be surprised if the format re-appears in an upcoming episode.

 In this episode we explored:

•             How to re-engage at a new level
•             What are you grateful for because of the pandemic
•             Assume everyone is somewhat different post pandemic
•             We can choose how we show up post pandemic
•             Janet’s email rant
•             Earlene’s sales rant

Continue the conversation with us. 

We’re doing a weekly room in Clubhouse, come join us there.

I’m still obsessed the conversation around how we get back to our new normal.  Today I want to continue that conversation however I want to talk about concrete actions.

You know I’m all about massive action...

Warning, this could be a working session if you’re up for it.

So if you’re game and you’re in a place that will allow you to play along, I encourage you to pause the audio and do the doing …. 

If you’re not up for a working session, you should still listen, and maybe just jot down a couple of ideas.

Enjoy!!!

This week it's a mini episode. I was going to take the week off, however decided to chat a bit about joint ventures. I'm looking to expand my business through JV partners this year. Are you?

Happy Memorial Day, I hope you spent it surrounded with friends and family.  

This week I share with you my thoughts as we begin to re-emerge from lock down. Clearly the world has changed and I explore my reactions to the need for me to change to reflect the times we are in. Feeling as if we are in the calm before the storm, I talk about how I’m using this time to reflect and to determine how I’m going to move forward differently. 

The world has changed, what are you doing to adapt?  I’d love to hear from you.

Till next week,

Janet

In the episode we discuss:

• Identifying your why
• What is your superpower
• How to use your superpower to help others
• Have a back-up plan for when things go wrong – because they will…
• Get support – you don’t have to do it alone
