  • #20 Spirituality, a new season, and motivation, with Jimmy Gait

    Today, I’m on the edge of my seat, wanting to give you a new strategy that will help you get out of your comfort zone and be the best version of yourself, and so much more.

    Everything you want for your life and career starts with an intention, right?

    Then, you add enthusiasm and dedication.

    But, then what?

    Unfortunately, sometimes life’s challenges get in the way—whether it’s in the form of self-doubt, or perhaps just a seemingly unrealistic goal.

    So how do you overcome obstacles.?

    Jimmy Gait, celebrated Kenyan Gospel artist and now transformational speaker, trainer, and entrepreneur, is here to show you how you can burst through life’s challenges and actually use any situation as a stepping stone for the next level.

    His techniques of choice have included Faith in God and believing in yourself – two things he says are key to succeeding in life.

    Jimmy used these techniques to achieve a goal he had last year during his birthday.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    💫When going through life’s challenges, see things as life happening for you and opposed to life happening to you.

    💫Like a great chef who mixes ingredients perfectly to achieve the perfect cake, God is a great potter and has perfectly created us taking us from one glory to another.

    💫How to petition God in prayer through our helper, the Holy Spirit.

    💫How Jimmy is impacting the world as a transformational speaker, and trainer.

    💫The importance of perseverance, seeking advice, and finding the right systems to succeed as an entrepreneur.

    And so much more….

    • #16 How to lead with courage, and authenticity, conquering imposter syndrome, and self-doubt with Dr, Faith Mwangi

      My guest today is Dr. Mwangi-Powell. She's the CEO of Girls Not Brides, a global initiative dedicated to ending child marriage worldwide.

      In this conversation, Dr. Mwangi-Powell says that we're at our best when we're ourselves, unscripted and genuine. Embracing authenticity isn't always easy, especially for professional women navigating their careers.

      The fear of stepping into our true selves can hold us back, fostering moments of self-doubt and persistent imposter syndrome. But here's the truth: self-doubt is universal.

      Even when she found herself in spaces she felt beyond her reach, questioning if she belonged, she learned that authenticity and self-awareness are our greatest allies.

      Understanding our intrinsic values and realizing that those moments are fleeting is key. Because believe it or not, everyone in that room might be battling those same feelings, no matter how imposing.

      Here’s a glance at this episode:

    • #15 How to get clear on what you want, avoid burnout(& how to create a steady revenue in the B2B space with Amy Pearl

      In today’s episode I want to talk about what to do when your business model doesn't seem to be working for you. Maybe you’re in a 9-5 and you have a side business that you are really passionate about and you're just not getting any traction because you only have a limited number of hours to do one-on-one work. Or maybe you’re a full-time entrepreneur. You have a one-on-one coaching or consulting business but you're not making the kind of money you need to make.
      My guest shares insights on how to get your foot in the door in the B2B space so you can start planting the seed to decision makers to work with you. We also talk about mindset shifts, goal planning. (I especially like her 12-week sprint goal-setting idea), and how to stay focused on your purpose.
      We dive into:
      The benefits of the B2B model for coaches and service based business owners who want to avoid social media marketing and how to focus on building long-term relationships with businesses.
      Tips for staying productive and avoiding burnout, including focusing on your purpose, and setting clear goals.
      The transformative impact of asking oneself, "What do I truly want?" and "How do I want to feel?" in both professional and personal spheres.
      The importance of knowing that you have so many talents that you bring to the table, so do not compare yourself with others. Be ok with where you are.
      Why it’s important to specialize in what you're good at and passionate about, so you can build a sustainable and enjoyable business.
