Have you ever found yourself in a “funk” that you just can’t seem to escape? Where overwhelm meets procrastination meets all sorts of bad habits? Same, girl, same. That’s why, in this episode of Coalesce: The Podcast, I dig into the circumstances that tend to lead to this situation, why being overwhelmed so often leads to procrastination, and how you can “right the ship,” so to speak. Make sure to listen in!

With only a handful of weeks left before we turn that calendar over to 2022, chances are you’re both reflecting and dreaming–reflecting on what you’ve achieved in 2021 and dreaming about what you want to chase after in the months to come. In this episode of Coalesce: The Podcast, I walk you through the basics of setting goals for your business and the importance of defining milestones so that, this time next year, you can look back and easily see what you’ve achieved.

On this episode of Coalesce: The Podcast, I’m focusing on the side hustlers. Yep, the ones who want to build a business on the side while also maintaining their full-time job or other responsibilities like parenting. 

This episode is for my 9 to 5’ers who have it on their heart to start a side business but aren’t quite sure where to begin or how to identify their reason for doing so in the first place. I discuss the pivotal first steps to building a side business, the different types of side businesses, and how to work through the decisions on determining your products or offerings.

An essential portion of being a business owner is making strategic decisions. BUT we can also get really excited about a new project, jump right in, pull on our bootstraps, and get straight to work, sailing right over a major pillar to business success - STRATEGY.

If you’re always feeling like you are buried in to-lists but not really making any progress, you probably need some strategy. If you’re trying to do all the right things as quickly as you can, but feel like your efforts are scattered and disconnected, you probably need some strategy.

Flying by the seats of your pants shouldn’t always be your go-to approach. In this episode of Coalesce: The Podcast, I’m breaking down the steps you can utilize to successfully inject strategy into your business. Listen in to uncover why and how you can take a more powerful, successful approach to strategy.

After over a year of virtual meetings and conferences, we’re being “let back out into the wild” (so to speak) of the offline world. But what’s expected of us while we’re still in a pandemic? What should I wear? How should I introduce myself if we can’t shake hands? How do I connect with new people while sporting a mask? If you haven’t used your professional etiquette skills in a while, today’s episode is for you. Plus, we could all use a good tune-up on navigating professional scenarios! 

Today’s podcast guest is a go-to source for answers to any and all questions you have about how to professionally represent yourself. Marlene Eick is a leadership coach and speaker who specializes in helping agricultural organizations maximize the potential of their established and emerging leaders. 

In our conversation, we break down some of the not-so-well-practiced skills we’ve been deprived of lately, like dress code manners, helpful tips for introducing ourselves, and best approaches for networking with new people.

Imagine yourself on January 1st, 2022… What do you want to feel? What do you want to be thinking? What does your life look like? Are you stressed? Strapped for cash? Still horribly behind and buried in work?

In this episode, I’m going to break down the steps on how you can finish the year strong by analyzing, and then recommitting or adjusting your goals so that you can enter the fourth quarter with just as much energy and passion as you did at the start of the year.

Today we’re talking implementation. What is implementation? It’s doing the work. Taking action. But when it comes to actually doing the work, we all know there are challenges. We get stuck in the learning process, overthink, or just plain don’t feel like we have the time. 

Implementation is one of Coalesce’s four foundational pillars to business success. Without implementation, we couldn’t launch our latest product, see a new marketing strategy through, or use that just-downloaded software we bought to make our businesses and lives run smoother. 

The opposite of implementation? Dissatisfaction, idleness, failure. In this episode, we discuss the hurdles we face when trying to implement and how to overcome those challenges.
