Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.   We can look at Abundance from both an external and internal view point.

We’ve been covering stories about fearless leadership for August and this is our final episode. I know you probably all followed the Olympics in Paris this year and heard a lot about the women who stood out with amazing stories like Katie, Simone, Sha'Carri , but I’m thinking there’s some other stories you may not have heard about and that’s my hope for today. I hope you hear something new and feel inspired learning about these fearless women, moms, and soon-to-be moms.

Kim Dechaine, Gen X, joins us to talk about the fearless face of depression as part 4 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183, 184).

Kim is a recognized international speaker and facilitator who specializes in empowering professional women to stay in their leadership roles with more ease and joy, by navigating and preventing overwhelm and burnout. Through her journey with depression and suicidal thoughts, Kim has learned one important truth: we are Human-BEINGS, not Human-DOINGS. Her passion lies in providing workshops and leadership programs to businesses and organizations that focus on mindfulness, self-leadership, and productivity.

Topics covered in the Episode:

Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.    Values in leadership, especially having peace and calm in our heart, when it comes to decision making, it might be a lightness leading to a “Yes”.

2.    Women in leadership have a special gift of intuition – pausing in that peace and calm can help us listen to that intuition. Both are intertwined. We have to learn to

3.   Self-awareness and shifting ourselves is #1 to be fearless leaders – it starts with us. Compassion helps us lead from our heart. We have to be able to listen and to listen we need to pause.

Reminder: No one has 100% mental health. It’s a practice. We need to prioritize it.

Paula Stone Williams, Boomer, joins us to talk about the fearless face of authenticity as part 3 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183).

Paula is a Pastoral Counselor and internationally known speaker on gender equity and religious tolerance. As Kathy and Rosemary wrote this in their book after interviewing Paula: “She who had been born into a boy’s body and was given the name Paul by her parents knew she was meant to be a girl… After leading a double life he made the fearless decision to move forward with her gender transition... for the first time in her years on earth she was feeling seen, heard, loved and valued for who she truly was. A woman.” 

Topics covered in the Episode:

Transition journey

Male & woman leadership insights

Gender equity

Authenticity

Mary Oliver’s The Journey

Actions to take the deep inner journey

What keeps us from leading

Rejection

Types of gifts

Women apologizing

Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.    Women can have very strong leadership tendencies and tend to have great confidence coupled with great humility.

2.    The call toward authenticity is sacred, is holy, and for the greater good and it’s terrifying and never easy.

3.   What stops us from leading is

Jane (Ballard) Dyer, Boomer, joins us to talk about fearlessness in the face of sexism.

Jane is a retired Air Force pilot and found her determination and grit to graduate from her training school even though her class voted to make sure no woman would graduate from her class. She broke the team goal with style and grace. Whoa!! Her story is amazing and will leave you much inspired. It is featured in the book, Fearless Female Leaders, written by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow which we featured in Ep. 182.

Topics covered in the Episode:

Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.    We will face the “naysayers” in life. It may take us time to dig deep to find that part of us where fearlessness is born.

2.    Jane’s success during these 1980s led the way for so many more future female pilots.

3.   We can all lack confidence at times but we can remind ourselves, like Jane did, that we can do things even when we’re afraid because we can breathe in the support of those who believe we can.

More About Jane:

Jane Dyer retired from flying in 2017 as a Boeing 777 Captain.  She amassed over 10,000 accident-free hours at FedEx.  Prior to the B777, she was the Captain of the Airbus 300 and Boeing 727. Her flying career began in the USAF where she flew the KC135, an air-refueling aircraft, and instructed in the T-37, a primary trainer for the Air Force. 

While in the Air Force, she met and married her husband, John Dyer. John also retired from the US Air Force as a pilot, serving two tours in Vietnam.  He is a highly decorated pilot, including the Purple Heart. 

They have four children, three grandchildren and a great grandson. 

Jane has always been active in her

In our episode 177 we covered the book, Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima. I’d mentioned my interest in a distinction she covered: Toxic Positivity. When I saw that part in her book I had visions of the Disney Pixar film Inside Out (2015) which did a fantastic job

Topics Covered:

Here are 3 takeaways:

1.   “Toxic Positivity” is common and often a response to some underlying beliefs.

2.    Thinking positive 24/7 can be stressful and deny our humanity.

3.    Accepting our full range of emotions benefits us and some ways to do this include practices like mindful
