Changeworker Podcast with Diana Stemkowski

Our brains don't like change (like starting or expanding your business/job) and will do its best to shut down any changes you want to make. What if regulating our nervous systems is the only skill we have to learn when marketing or selling what we do? Join me for this episode for an answer.

Death, like a lot of other happenings in life, are inevitable. Recently, I lost someone near and dear to me. I was reminded again that priorities, dreams, goals and directions can change in the midst of loss. In this episode I talk about 2 questions that you can use in times of emotional upheaval to give yourself space, time and care.

Why is it important that we are aware of our thoughts? Because they determine how we feel, the actions we take (or don't take) and the results we created. This is great news because if we can think and feel on purpose, our actions will have more oomph and direction. Our desired results will naturally unfold. Learn more about this process in this episode.

Thanks for listening!

By definition, "sacred" is a connection with God (or gods), dedicated to a religious purpose and deserving of veneration. 

That's a heavy duty definition, but I believe we can hold in the highest regard, hold sacred, the things that are important to us. By holding an idea, ideal or intention high in my heart and mind, I give it weight in my priorities. There's a reverence, love and respect I give those ideals and ideas. Massage therapy and the marketing and selling of it can be sacred. Find out more about how holding these things as sacred will enhance what you do and how you do it.

I have a class I'll be offering in November 2022 focuses on becoming an effective organic marketer. Part of that journey lies in making more intentional decisions and becoming a powerful decision maker. In this episode, I talk about where our decisions come from (our emotions), whether we're playing by our rules or someone else's and why making more decisions helps us keep going toward what we want to create.

Informed consent is the bedrock of our relationship with our clients. In this episode, I talk about informed consent in broader business terms and how selling and consent can go hand in hand.

In this episode, I talk about the work we do on ourselves, with our clients, and the work we do on our business selves. I define "work" in this way: the  investment of time, energy, money, focus and commitment in someone's (including our own) desired outcome. I talk about the benefits of the work for you as a massage therapist and as a human being. I also explore why this work is a reflection of why your clients keep coming back to you.

In this episode, I talk about my consult (sales) call and how you can apply some of the same concepts and thought processes to your own. My intention, when I sell coaching or massage, is to make any conversation about working with me so clear and valuable that my prospective client can love their yes, no or maybe. I stay detached from their decision and I'm clear that their yes, no or maybe doesn't mean anything about me or my business. Listen in as I walk you through how I approach yeses, no's and those yes, but no's and why someone may be a yes, but no.

Coming soon... I'll be offering a 5 week package for those new (or soon to be new) business owners that includes 1-to-1 coaching, feedback, guidance and next steps for your existing organic marketing plan (or the one you want to have). I'm creating it now and hope to have it ready to go at the end of October/early November.

Consistency is often regarded as desirable, a character blessing. Through my own journeys with implementing consistency in my life, I've learned that consistency needs to be fluid for me. I can be consistent unto myself, without having to consider other people's perception of me. My calendar doesn't have to be regimented or rigid in approach in order to be consistent in the ways that work for me and are enough. I've defined consistency for myself in such a way that it includes self-care and listening to my body about me and what I need at any given moment. I also understand that in the typical business/corporate environments, this may not be popular or welcome. And that is ok. Do I have to be typically consistent to reach my business goals? No. I invite you to consider your stories about your levels of consistency and how you'd want to change them to support you reaching your goals.

Vulnerability time! In this episode, I talk about my journey as a business person from January 2021, when I started my full time coaching business, until now. I experienced imposter syndrome, misery, panic, self-induced financial fuquery and hard decisions about the future of my business. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing and I'm going to keep going.
