Glambition® Radio

She was abandoned by her mother as a child, raised by her aunt, and—as a college sophomore—had no choice but to become the family breadwinner when her aunt unexpectedly passed away…

Today's Glambition Radio guest Jereshia Hawk has a personal journey that will tug at your heartstrings and inspire your ambition. She is a sought-after business coach and sales expert who grew her business from nothing to $2 million in less than four years using organic marketing, a lean team, and high profit margins. But her success didn't come without trials and tribulations in her early life.

Through running small businesses as a young adult, to becoming a pipeline engineer out of practicality, and then leveraging her corporate experience into a thriving business coaching company, Jereshia has navigated a truly inspiring career path. And now she's teaching other women how to leverage their unique authority, successfully chart a 'seller beware' market, and deconstruct popular marketing systems to create their own versions of success.

Today, Jereshia (whom I'm honored to have in my Premier Client group) helps high-achieving experts launch and scale leveraged group coaching programs—but her methods are different than most. Listen in to learn how!

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• How Jereshia learned serious sales + marketing hustle by observing her aunt work retail at Victoria's Secret… and how this directly influenced her entrepreneurial mindset!
• Why Jereshia seized the opportunity in her family's adversity to create a new reality… and how necessity + practicality prevented overthinking to drive her results!
• How a 2.9% corporate raise calculation changed Jereshia's value vs. time paradigm—plus, how to assess + market your value to max out your earning potential
• The fascinating perception of women of color in STEM fields—and Jereshia's personal experience trying to change this narrative (I had no idea that hairstyles held so much weight at work…)
• And my favorite takeaway… Jereshia hits the nail on the head when she explains the true essence of a successful business coach. (Hint: it's not always having the right answer.)

Whether you're scaling your company or aspiring to grow in your personal daily leadership, there's no greater terrain to *explore your own self-awareness* than the pursuit of career success.

Alisa Cohn (named the Top Startup Coach in the world by the Thinkers50) has been coaching startup founders to grow into world-class CEOs for nearly 20 years. And on Glambition Radio, Alisa and I take a deep dive into the 'real work' of leadership and growth… ourselves.

In her new book 'From Start-Up to Grown-Up: Grow Your Leadership to Grow Your Business', Alisa provides a much-needed guide for business leaders to maximize strengths, defuse triggers, control self-doubt, and build on your motivators. In turn, this personal work will help create a dream team to take your professional mission to the next level of impact and meaning.

A one time startup CFO, strategy consultant, and current angel investor and advisor, Alisa was named the number one 'Global Guru' of startups in 2021, and has worked with startup companies such as Venmo, Etsy, DraftKings, The Wirecutter, Mack Weldon, and Tory Burch. She has coached C-Suite executives at Dell, Hitachi, Sony, IBM, Google, Microsoft, Bloomberg, The New York Times, and Calvin Klein.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• Alisa's 'aha!' moment when she realized coaching was her professional calling—and why she's now sharing her insights from helping big-hitter CEOs hone their leadership + authenticity
• How to successfully navigate common inner roadblocks that entrepreneurs often face when scaling their business… and why these hiccups are proof of your growth potential
• Why it's OK (and even a GOOD idea) to consider hiring the 'right fit' for your role in the business, even if that means letting go of the reins! (Is it time to replace yourself as CEO?)
• How to recognize the ideal client for your business—and why their business size might not be as important to YOUR success as you might think!
• And a fun one… the camaraderie Alisa and I share over the magic + serendipity of New York City living (plus a few flashbacks from dance floors and 5th floor walk-ups!)

You've seen her on the Dave Ramsey Show, and her advice is always spot on! But if you've ever asked yourself 'How do I do it all?', don't miss this episode with Christy Wright.

Christy is a No. 1 national best-selling author, personal development expert, and host of The Christy Wright Show. Since 2009, she has served at Ramsey Solutions, where she teaches on personal development, business, and faith.

We are on a 'productivity' roll this month on Glambition Radio, and I'm thrilled to have Christy back on the show to share her newest book. 'Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance' helps women transform their perspective of 'doing it all' to identify instead what is the RIGHT next action to take. Because when our ambitions and happiness are on the line, we've got to be ruthless about what makes the cut and how we spend our time.

During our conversation, you'll learn practical methods to apply your resources and gifts in new ways to create balance + accomplishment at work and at home. And Christy's methods are refreshingly grounded in both theory and application for women in all stages of life and career.

And if there's one thing I want you to take away from this episode, it's Christy's message that you have the power to define—and achieve—YOUR version of success. Because as we create the new models, sometimes we need a reminder of just how empowered we really are…

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• The one question women are all STILL asking when it comes to juggling business and life, and how to finally achieve the 'B' word...
• How to identify what's right for you in your current season AND situation… and let go of the expectation of doing EVERYTHING perfectly (are you ready to reassess what's really important?)
• Why 'mom guilt' isn't going away anytime soon, and how we can learn to work with this sense of responsibility in all areas of life (it's time to embrace our innate wiring!)
• How to look at all of your resources with fresh eyes (including time, money, relationships, and energy) when you begin designing a life that's right for YOU and your idea of happiness
• And, my personal favorite… how the world's crazy events can be viewed through a symbolic lens, PLUS Christy's take on why the world is NOT ending right now! (Phew, what a relief...)

She was the first female author of a productivity book FOR women. And she's back to help you harness your purpose and create the life you've imagined.

Tanya Dalton is a best-selling author, speaker, and nationally recognized productivity expert for female leaders. Her highly anticipated second book, 'On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success', will be released later this month.

Building on the time-prioritization tenets of her first book 'The Joy of Missing Out', 'On Purpose' takes productivity a step beyond practical time management and invites you to re-imagine what COULD be in your business and life. Now, it's time to leverage your GOALS into creating the reality you want… and Tanya lays out exactly how in a step-by-step process that breaks down your grand visions into actionable and achievable steps.

Tanya (a founding member of my network The Trust!) is also the founder and CEO of inkWELL Press Productivity Co., a multi-million dollar company providing tools that work as a catalyst in helping women do less while achieving maximum success. Her new book will be released and available for purchase wherever books are sold on October 26.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• Why achieving goals is—wait for it—NOT the goal! But why goal-setting is the vehicle to get the life you want (and ditch the timelines you thought you needed!)
• How 'On Purpose' teaches you to think beyond daily time management to stretch into your future, long-term goals (this progression makes so much sense)
• How the essence of productivity has evolved alongside our changing lifestyles… and why it's even more powerful NOW to focus on what's most important, versus how much can be done
• Tanya shares a few practical exercises to help you discover your purpose and set goals that are uniquely aligned to YOUR strengths, lifestyle, and passions (are you ready to get fired up and live the life of your dreams?)
• How Tanya came face-to-face with the reality of setting goals and sticking to timelines (or not) when she began writing her book at the onset of last year's shutdowns… and how this experience put her productivity philosophies to the test!

I can't wait for you to hear Tanya's proven strategies to not only imagine, but REALIZE what's possible for you and your business.

In our increasingly virtual world, meaningful connections need to be deliberately cultivated. For both our businesses and personal lives, it's critical we generate and maintain strong relationships despite any technological or geographical distance.

Susan McPherson is a serial connector, angel investor, and corporate responsibility expert. She's the founder and CEO of McPherson Strategies, a communications consultancy focused on the intersection of brands and social impact.

With over 25 years of communications experience under her belt, Susan has channeled her love and passion for connecting people into her new book, 'The Lost Art of Connecting: The Gather, Ask, Do Method for Building Meaningful Relationships.'

And as you'll hear on Glambition Radio, Susan shares a simple three-part strategy to amplify your relationships… and help readers create meaningful connections in our increasingly virtual world.

Susan has contributed to the Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Forbes. Her other media appearances include NPR, CNN, USA Today, The New Yorker, New York Magazine and the Los Angeles Times. You can purchase her new book, 'The Lost Art of Connecting,' online and in retail booksellers.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• Why building a communications consultancy was never part of Susan's life plan… but quickly became the vehicle for her mission to revive meaningful relationships in a quickly changing social landscape
• An artful and effective communication tactic to use during your next Zoom meeting for more team camaraderie (especially useful for leaders to implement when they're in 'business mode')
• How to discover the 'commonalities in the un-commonalities' to help move the needle on any mission you desire to accomplish (the solution you seek might be one conversation away!)
• The ESSENTIAL question you can ask to instantly connect with ANYONE… and why you have more power to create positive change in your circles than you realize! (Ladies, please stop underestimating your value here…)
• Why you should begin 'thinking forward' to help your team thrive in a hybrid work environment… plus, Susan's thoughtful consideration to help your team show up as their best 'one-self'

I never expected to homeschool my twins. But 2020 was a transformational year, and I realized the incredible value of creating a deeper connection with my kids through our homeschool journey. And I have today's guest to thank for helping guide our homeschool transition!

Julie Bogart is the founder of the innovative program 'Brave Writer' and is known as 'the popular voice of common sense and compassion in the homeschool community'. She's a mother who educated her own five children at home, and draws on her work with tens of thousands of families over the last 20+ years to provide enriching and educational programs for those new to homeschooling.

Julie's writing advisory began as a need for parents in her community in the late 1990s when, as a professional writer, she was shocked to discover the lackluster instruction in her friend's homeschooling curriculum. She quickly realized the market opportunity for her teaching expertise. And while Brave Writer has been successfully guiding homeschool families for more than 20 years, it has taken off to incredible heights due to the mass homeschool migration of 2020. (Imagine growing a membership community from 600 clients to over 10,000 in just one year!)

Julie's Brave Writer programs include award-winning online writing classes and paradigm-shifting writing manuals that allow parents and kids to become allies in the writing process. She is also the author of the best-selling book, 'The Brave Learner' and host of the popular Brave Writer podcast. Her newest book, 'Raising Critical Thinkers', comes out in February 2022. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio where she home educated her five children (now globe-trotting adults) for 17 years.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• The eye-opening moment Julie realized the viability of a 'how to homeschool' business… and the epiphany that her natural gifts were in HIGH demand for other parents and peers (she was way ahead of her time, as you'll hear…)
• Julie's fascinating observations on the evolving counterculture of homeschooling… especially as a wave of 'Covid-Schoolers' has created an ENORMOUS new market of public-school converts (and I'm one of them!)
• How Julie's 'flower power' schoolteachers, an innocent inquiry from her date, and her own mother's self-directed career helped shape Julie into the homeschool expert she is today (I LOVE when dots connect in hindsight!)
• A brilliant solution to inspire your children to write… and how to leverage these innocent moments into boosts of confidence, family closeness, and skill-building (and if you're getting some pushback from the kiddos, Julie has an answer for that, too!)
• Why mechanics aren't actually the most important aspect of teaching your children how to write… and what to focus on instead to create an enriching learning environment anywhere, anytime

Today I'm *resharing* last summer's fantastic Glambition Radio interview with Kate Northrup, author of 'Do Less'. Why? Because one year later, this conversation takes on an entirely NEW meaning and context, and it's exactly what we as women need to hear right now...

If there's one constant in life that women must attune to when the world feels so heavy, it's the 'inner knowing' of our bodies. This is the place from which all truth is processed + received (not to mention how we generate profit, which you'll hear in the episode).

Today on Glambition Radio, Kate enlightens us on the eternal wisdom and silent power of our body's natural cycles, and how we can rely on this innate rhythm to enhance our daily lives. From increasing business profit with ease, to understanding what creates optimal health for us and our family, and even how to plan our days… this is one conversation that could seriously transform how you operate in the world.

Kate is the author of two books including 'Do Less', and 'Money: A Love Story'. Her adventures—and misadventures—with wellness and prosperity, recognizing truth, being raised by an 'outlier' mother (whom you'll recognize as a pioneer in women's wellness), and nurturing her own relationship with her body's wisdom combined for her revolutionary approach to productivity and energy management for ambitious women.

On this episode of #GlambitionRadio, you'll hear:

• How women's inner rhythms carry a wisdom that far surpasses the logic and sense of our minds (truly, thinking only gets you so far… and can actually hold you up!)
• The incredibly useful and predictable inner-cycles that drive both women AND men—and how tapping into these four phases can have a massive impact on wellness, abundance, and ease
• Why Kate's unconventional upbringing was a harbinger of womanly wisdom—and how questioning everything helped her recognize the ONLY truth that matters (this was important in 2020, and especially so NOW)
• Why relaxation is the key to receptivity—and how Kate's business experienced a *shocking* increase in profit with LESS effort when she relied on THIS cycle (have you tried this yourself?)
• The secret 'code' that will crack open life's operating manual (great news: it's already installed within each of us!)
