Enlightenment of Change

As I write the intro for this show I must pause and think about what it has meant to me to have a powerful presence and maybe for the first time ever look at my life from this perspective. Kind of cool!

I am just under 5'11' and growing up was always taller than everyone (including boys) my own age. I learned at a young age to hold my head up high and as my uncle Barry would say, Strut my stuff!"

This is funny because I have always lacked confidence because of my size! Yet as I age and my wisdom grows, I realize that having personal power is a blessing and I believe is needed for all of us to stand tall and do the things we are meant to do during our lifetime.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Rikki Rogers, "Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't do."

Change is inevitable (COVID taught us that) and in business a necessity to continue to grow and build a thriving future. For larger businesses, I feel like change can be a bit daunting and hard to change the direction of the organization's culture.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Albert Einstein, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Think anew". I love this quote because I feel like it embodies the essence of this podcast. Being a change agent isn't always easy or glamorous, but it matters and provides new ideas and outcomes for our successful future.

Every day I wake up and feel my body clock either feeling rested and firing on all cylinders or sometimes I may feel a bit sluggish. I've had friends and family who had to travel for business, pre-pandemic and the jet lag and other side effects were sometimes detrimental to their health.

I am over 5'10" tall so airplane travel has never appealed to me, so as my career grew I made sure that extensive travel was not part of the demands expected from me.

Perhaps post-pandemic this is not as big an issue as it once was. So, is it possible to resent the jet lag or the feelings of jet lag? Today my guest and I are going to discuss how to reset our body clock using acupressure and kinesiology and how his company made this into a mobile app for global travelers.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Joseph Hall

"Our body is a well-set clock, which keeps good time, but if it is indiscreetly tampered with, the alarm runs out before the hour."

As I reflect on my business and personal life, I often use the analogy of the ripple effect caused by a pebble in the pond. Often, we have no idea that we can cause a ripple effect in our life and business by how we show up for the people in our orbit. I love using visual cues like this because it explains so much of how we are all connected in a deep and meaningful way, whether we realize it or not.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Dalai Lama

"Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects."

As I was searching for today's quote I wanted to use today, this one jumped out at me. It is by Leonardo DiCaprio, "If you can do what you do best and be happy, you are further along in life than most people. "

In my experience and working with my clients I find many approaches to happiness as a result - something that you get when you reach a goal or a milestone. I have heard many people say things to me like, 'I'll be happy when I get my promotion, or I'll be happy as soon as I get more business, or I'll be happy when I can stop working?' And the list goes on. These types of comments always cause me to pause and think about why we humans think that we need X to happen before we can be or feel happy. For me, happiness is an inside game, and I will say that at times it can be challenging.

I was raised to save for a rainy day. Good advice that served me well when COVID hit, and the world shut down in March of 2020. My income stopped, my husband's company closed, and we had two kids in college and no income. What did we do? We needed to use our savings to get through the yearlong rough patch. Here's the reality, how many times have you hit rough patches during your life. No one is immune to financial distress. Without a plan, you may be navigating devastating results versus coming through the other end in one piece.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Pablo Picasso, "Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."

I chose this quote because of the word plan. To have financial freedom the first thing you need to do is create a plan that is customized for you and your family.

I have always approached my career and business with a focus on my personal and professional growth, by learning something new every day. The biggest lesson I have learned is that learning something new is a wonderful habit, as long as the information is useful for me and my clients and that I am able to put the information or new skill into action. Action creates reactions, which in turn creates change and growth.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Steve Maraboli, "Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it."

About David Richards:

David and I are going to discuss mindfulness which sometimes may feel mysterious. The reality is, that each and every one of us is in a different state of consciousness. What's most amazing today is the ability to absorb and share information? It's unprecedented.

One hundred years ago, our ancestors might have spent decades looking for information that we can find within minutes, and even seconds. How much more interconnected are we capable of becoming? How much more conscious can we be?

David is a life strategist, international bestselling author, and executive coach. He's been teaching yoga for fifteen years and served in the Marines for fifteen years. He helps people achieve the extraordinary.

As I reflect on my life, career, and business, my Italian upbringing definitely influenced how I have (and I guess still do) approach my professional journey.

For me, the concept of hard work was at the core. In the past decade, I have realized that hard work alone doesn't guarantee a positive outcome. In fact, I feel like the more I pushed forward with determination and effort, when things weren't going as planned (COVID) sometimes made the bad situation even worse.

I know and choose to keep learning and growing and am still figuring out how to use the Universal laws, quantum physics, and energy, not necessarily action and hard work to manifest the things I desire.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Yohance Salimu, "Find your natural rhythm and harmonize with it. "

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Marshall B. Rosenberg, "We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel."

YouTube: https://youtu.be/luQqcAC32XY

Check Out These Highlights:

I love this quote as it allowed me the opportunity to reflect on my career and look at my personal evolution of becoming more emotional intelligence and the impact it has had y my life and career. I have come to realize that this was a skill I had to learn and develop over time and was not necessarily natural for me.

So, what were some of the big lessons I learned?

Things like, how to become more empathetic by connecting deeply with my clients, then deeply with my sales teams, deeply with my husband and kids, and now deeply with my clients. As I look back, I personally understand the importance and beauty of being an Emotional Intelligent leader in our world. We have multiple roles in life and Emotional Intelligent (EI) helps with everything we do and with every person we engage with.

What's the impact?

Great and deeper connections with everyone in my life both personally and professionally. Those relationships matter and for me are the cornerstone of my business and how I engage with my clients!

As time passes, I hear more and more about the importance of self-care and being present to help with the day-to-day stressors in life.

For me, yoga is a lifeline that helps me quiet my mind, stretch and strengthen my body, and allows me to feel strong and calm. What a great combination for me because I have an active Monkey mind and quieting my mind has not been an easy task, for me, through the years.

I am always excited when I get to share a guest who helps us bring the quote I started with to life. Meaning, that we can bring the yoga mat with us as we live our lives.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Morghan King, "Yoga and physical health go beyond our moments on the mat."
