Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast

What might your world and your life be like if you were brave enough to share your gifts and talents? 

Today I talk about this concept and I share a song by Jana Stanfield that has completely changed the way I understand my place in the world.

The version I've linked here is the video version from YouTube sponsored by Awesome Women Hub which features photos of people who have done amazing things because they were brave.

Go ahead - share your gifts!

Have you ever thought about the specific message you are here to deliver to the world? Not necessarily the channel through which you deliver it, which would be about what you DO, but more about who you are when you are doing it?

Today I share some information from Seth Godin's two newest books, "This is Marketing" and "The Practice." I also mention Brene Brown and her admonition to create a "shitty first draft" and get it into the world.

Perfection is not the goal. Connection is.

Today's conversation included information from the book "Soul at Work" by Margaret Benefiel as well as comments from live listeners that touched on oligarchy and bureaucracy and their impact on pursuing profit. Just easy conversation like that!

What will it take to bring soul and spirit into the place you work? It might just be up to you!

What does it mean to you to Mind your Mind? When you mind something, you tend to it. You pay attention to it. And if you don't do that, you might be forced to take your opinion of yourself from others.

In this episode I talk about what happens in your experience of living if the saboteurs in your mind are running the show instead of you understanding yourself the way you are at your best.

How do you identify yourself at your best? At your neutral point?

I refer to Vibe Masterminds (www.mygroundswell.com/vibe) and the book and course Positive Intelligence (www.positiveintelligence.com).

Today I talk about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how important it is that we as humans have the opportunity to get to self-actualization.

I talk about the concept of capacity rather than potential as it relates to who we are as humans and how things might be different if each of us decided to start right now, today, living in capacity instead of waiting for someday to reach that elusive potential.

Today I am talking about Human Resources and their true effect on the culture of an organization. What does it really mean to be truly HUMAN in a corporate setting?

I reference Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini's book Humanocracy and also Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall's book Nine Lies About Work in today's episode.

How might our corporations shift if we celebrate the heart and soul and spirit inside the corpus?

There is a definite theme to the past couple of episodes ... it's becoming clearer at this time and place that people are searching for their place in a more confusing and chaotic universe.

Finding your purpose or calling or destiny so you can be confident of the legacy you can leave is something more and more people are talking about.

In today's episode I talk about Richard Leider's Calling Cards (see more at www.richardleider.com/calling-cards/) and also Dick Richards' book Is Your Genius At Work.

The only thing that's completely certain about this life each of us is living is that none of us - ZERO - will get out alive. So ... what will you do while you're here?

Today I share some of my insights as I recognize the fragility of our time on earth.

If you've lost someone significant to you, you realize how precious legacy is. 

What will yours be?

Declarations are statements of what you believe to be true, or what you desire to speak into existence. Whether you desire something to be a certain way or complain about it not being the way you want, your words are powerful. How are you using yours?

Today I talk about how Words Create Worlds. What kind of world are you living in by the way you use your language?

Reality unfolds perfectly. My interpretation of reality is from my own perspective, and that's where I might get it mixed up. Today I talk about whether things happen TO me or FOR me.

The references I used were the course I just completed: www.positiveintelligence.com, Byron Katie's book "A Mind At Home With Itself," and ho'oponopono, and where I first learned about it - Dr. Hew Len and Joe Vitale's book "Zero Limits."
