Futura Talks

In 2016, a leader that I admire, George Carras, shared this idea at an event I attended, he said:

“Courage is for the soul what exercise is for the body”

Since then, I have loved thinking about the concept of courage and more so, finding the courage to do courageous things!

Every act of courage ignites something deep inside of us - it is like an awakening of sorts. We are pushing boundaries and learning more and more about ourselves and what we are made of.

For me, deciding to follow the path of entrepreneurship was the ultimate act of courage - it was uncharted territory - it felt risky but doing it has fed my soul in ways I can’t even explain.

Starting your own business is a daunting task, but it's one of the most rewarding things you can do. However, being an entrepreneur is not for the faint-hearted. It takes courage, determination, and a willingness to take risks. 

In this episode I talk about:

• Why having courage is an essential trait for entrepreneurs
• The six things you can do to start building your courage muscle today

Listen in and let me know, what courageous act do you plan to take next? And, if you need support to build the courage to pursue your dreams feel free to book a free discovery call with me - link ⬇️

Joining us on the podcast this week is Kelly Emery, an accomplished fintech founder turned social entrepreneur. In 2021, she launched Troop, a social enterprise that makes it easier for small and midsize businesses to practice corporate social responsibility, engage employees, and make a difference in their neighborhoods. Kelly is a trailblazer in the ‘tech for good’ space using technology to unleash generosity in communities.

As a DMZ Women of the Year award recipient, Kelly’s leadership in the Canadian technology ecosystem pre-dates Troop. In 2008, she co-founded RateSupermarket.ca, Canada's first financial service marketplace, which was acquired by Kanetix Ltd in 2013. Kelly is an experienced executive and successful entrepreneur who is driven by her vision: to build communities where no basic needs go unmet.

Kelly is a purpose-driven entrepreneur, one that has found a way to  marry her skill sets, experience and interests to solve a big problem in the landscape of giving and fulfilling community needs. Her purpose is one that inspires me and I know it will inspire  you too!

In this episode we talk about:

• Starting a side hustle and how you don’t need a ton of capital or experience to start (you just need to start)
• Why it is important to start small, be scrappy and truly understand the problem and your stakeholders before launching
• How to discover your purpose by taking time and space to understand how you can be of service to others 
• Living to your full potential and so much more!

“You don’t have to be perfect to have purpose”

I heard motivational speaker Trent Shelton share this sentiment and it stirred up an immediate energy and excitement in me because one of my favourite speakers so eloquently combined two of my favourite topics together and in the most simple and effective way conveyed something I have been thinking about a lot.

I find that people often shy away from sharing or declaring their purpose for fear of getting it wrong or it not being “perfect” and what I have come to realize is that discovering your purpose actually lies in the imperfection.

It’s the challenges, the failures, the mistakes, the setbacks and those imperfect moments that lead you closer to discovering your why. 

Why you are here. What you are meant to learn and then what you are meant to teach, create and share with the world.

My business was born out of a need to create something so others wouldn’t have to experience the same setbacks as me. So I could help others face their fears. So I could help others build businesses or pivot their careers.

AND, the imperfect moments were a necessary part of my growth and evolution that has brought me closer to living with a sense of purpose.

So this week we talked about:

1. Why “perfect” is holding you back from purpose
2. The 5 truths about perfectionism
3. 5 steps you can take to embrace imperfection

Listen in and let me know - what is holding you back from going all in on your purpose driven dreams? And, if you need support to relaunch yourself with purpose - check out the program linked ⬇️

Are you ready to take your life, career, business, and mindset to the next level and achieve quantum leap results? In this episode, I'm going to talk about how mindset coaching can help you do just that!

Mindset coaching has grown in popularity in recent years, yet many still believe it is a novelty and not a must have. I have found that with the right mindset  we can experience improved results in all many aspects of our lives. Especially when we can address our own limiting beliefs and build confidence in our ability to achieve our goals. 

In this episode I talk about:

1. How you can work with a coach to accelerate your results
2. The top 7 ways that working will impact your life

If you’re ready to take your results to the next level, coaching might be the right next step for you.

And if you need support with accelerating your results then I encourage you to join my program: The Purposeful Relaunch. It is all about relaunching your life with greater purpose. And also being able to intentionally work on the goals and dreams that you have for your life in a very structured yet creative, open and supportive environment. The program starts on May 3rd, so get ready to take your life, career, business, and mindset to the next level! Link ⬇️

Have you ever found yourself waiting for opportunities to come knocking at your door? It can feel like waiting for a bus that never arrives. The truth is, if you’re standing around waiting, you are missing out on a whole world of possibilities that you could create for yourself. 

The path that I have been on for the last four years has been a result of intentionally creating opportunities for myself, not waiting to be tapped, promoted, asked or booked for them. And I can tell you that when you create your own opportunities, you take control of your destiny, and that's an incredibly empowering feeling. 

Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to start your own business, or you simply want to take your career to the next level, taking charge and finding your own path will give you a sense of purpose and motivation that you can't get from simply waiting for someone else to recognize your abilities. 

In this episode we talk about:

1. Creating opportunities from a place of purpose
2. The 7 steps to create your own opportunities
3. Why creating your own opportunities is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself

The feeling of breaking free from society's preconceptions and limitations can be liberating. Sure, it takes time, effort, and some calculated risks, but it's well worth it in the end. Plus, you never know where one self-made opportunity can lead to next. Tune in and tell me, what is the next opportunity you plan to create for yourself? And remember - the sky's the limit!

And if you need support with getting clear on the opportunities you desire I am hosting a free workshop on April 18th that will help you to discover new opportunities for yourself from a place that is aligned with those inner desires - from a place of purpose and from a place of serving others in a way that only you are uniquely positioned to do.

This week we are re-airing one of our most loved episodes about entrepreneurship! In case you missed it the first time, here’s your chance to tune in.

I believe that the path of entrepreneurship is one that is accessible to anyone that desires it.

This episode is quite near and dear to me because it's about a question that I get asked about all the time. And that is people wanting to learn more about my journey from being a corporate professional to now being an entrepreneur.

I love talking about this because this journey had the biggest impact on my life and is probably the single best decision I have ever made. I'm going to go into a few areas; about what was happening in my life and career when I decided to transition, how I discovered what business I would pursue and what my business is now, and the major challenges that I've had along the way. I’ll also share some of the actions that have really helped me most on my journey.

I'm sharing this story with you guys in hopes that it inspires others that have considered this path, but maybe are not ready to make the leap, or haven't made the leap, or want to learn a little bit more about what it entails to be on a path of entrepreneurship.

In this episode I'll share with you about:

1. The struggles I had while working on a corporate job and why I've decided to do the transition
2. The opportunity that hits to start my own path of entrepreneurship
3. The challenges and actions that helped me along on my journey

Tune in now and let me know if you are ready to do the transition.

They say that “the only constant in life is change” and we can see that - the world around is constantly changing and at faster rates than ever before. Yet, when it comes to changing ourselves we have a hard time. Especially when it comes to changing our career, even more so if it is one you have spent years going to school for and then even more years to build. We think because of that we need to stick it out and stay in the identity that we have built and that the world knows us for even if it no longer serves us (or others). 

We often stay the same because our mind tricks us that staying the same is safe. But what if you gave yourself the permission to upgrade and even step into a new identity? What if it is actually necessary for you to do so in order to survive.

Look at Blockbuster - it refused to change and it became irrelevant. What if changing is actually the “safest” thing you can do for yourself so you can continue to grow, evolve & survive in this ever changing world?

In this episode I dive into:

1. Why change is necessary for our growth & survival
2. The 5 W’s + 1 H of questions to ask yourself about your current and future identity
3. How to start embodying a new identity 

Tune in now and let me know if you are ready to give yourself permission for an identity upgrade. And if you are ready to explore this topic further then join us at my next free masterclass where we dive into this and more! Link ⬇️

We all have a career identity — that is, the way we define ourselves in terms of our profession. Whether you’re a doctor, a lawyer, or an actor, your career identity plays an important role in how you see yourself and your place in the world. 

So what happens when you no longer feel connected to your career identity? Maybe you have outgrown it or worse - you have stopped growing in it! Maybe you know you are meant for so much more but unsure of how to change things up at this stage in your career! 

It can be hard to know when it’s time to break up with your career identity and move on. 

In this week’s episode we will talk about:

1. The factors that lead to feeling less connected to our career identity
2. The 5 signs you should pay attention that are signaling it is time for you to make a change
3. Giving yourself permission to step into a new identity even if you’ve been married to your current one for some time

Tune in now and let me know in the DM’s if you think it’s time to break up with your career identity! And if you are ready to explore this further then join us at my next free masterclass where we dive into this and more! Link ⬇️

In this week’s episode we will talk about:

1. Ways you can show up as an empowered woman
2. How to start empowering the other women in your life
3. Questions you can ask yourself each day so you can show up as an empowered woman who empowers women

Tune in now and then tell me, what is one action you will take to empower yourself today and one action you will take to empower another woman in your life?
