Do you procrastinate? In this episode we discuss what procrastination really is, and introduce you to concepts that will help you understand this behavior with more depth. Stopping procrastination is not a question of willpower, it is about understanding our brain.

In this episode, we take a look at the highlights of Season 2 and I have an invitation for you. Book a free 30 minute mini-coaching session with me at: www.piquecoaching.co/minisession

In this episode, I chat with Bendita Cynthia Malakia about her role as a Diversity & Inclusion Strategist and change agent.

Listen in as we discuss:

• Working with big organizations on diversity and inclusion initiatives

Perfectionism. Prioritization. Analysis paralysis. Distraction. These are all challenges that my community mentions on a regular basis that keep them from living their personal and professional lives like they would like to.   

In this episode, I’m breaking down how you can tackle each of these challenges. Oh, and I go on a littttttle rant, too :) 

Here’s what we cover: 

• How to handle perfectionism

• What to do if you’re a chronic starter -- but not a finisher  

• What to do when people are overly dependent on you 

• How to distinguish urgent vs important tasks in order to prioritize more effectively

• How to create a daily workable system

• How to handle analysis paralysis and get into action using the “DDDD principle” 

• The value of tracking your time 

Resources mentioned:

• The time management matrix 

• Ramit Sethi’s Instagram

Rebecca Johnson is a strategic collaborator, writer, and motivational coach. She helps organizations align their brand story, leadership, and teamwork to create values-driven influence. 

We first connected via Instagram about her Values Deck -- a set of cards that help individuals and groups clarify core values that drive work and life.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode, where she pulls some cards from the Values Deck and we do a rapid-fire discussion about what each of them means to us.

In this episode, I’m diving into two of my simple but highly effective tips for decision making. These two strategies take away the angst and stress of decision making and allow you to get curious, explore openly, and eventually, make a decision with more certainty.

Tip #1: Ensure that you’re ready to make a decision by asking this one question.

Tip #2: If you’re not ready yet, move into information gathering mode.

This may sound overly simplistic, but don’t underestimate its value! 

Back by popular demand on the podcast: James Lenhoff! You all loved James’ straightforward, no-nonsense approach to finances so much that I invited him to join me again. 

I brought him your questions about money in relationships, how to take ownership of your finances once and for all, how to handle a raise, and what he spends money on with his family to improve their lives.  

A quick rundown on what we cover in the episode:

• Reframe the way you approach the holidays by asking this one question

• How to find a compelling purpose for your money 

• Why following expert money advice isn’t always the best idea

• Wanting from a place of abundance vs scarcity

• James’ take on what to do if your partner is in debt, if people should have a “Fuck Off Fund,” why things shouldn’t be 50/50 in a relationship, what to do when you get a raise, and the first step that you should take if you currently have no money management system in place 

• Why “I didn’t sign up for this” -- and other seemingly innocent little thoughts can be so detrimental

• What laughter has to do with coaching -- and how to know if you’re not coachable 

• What to track instead of your income

• The best time to get into the stock market

• How productivity saves money and how to learn how to delay gratification

The 8-minute exercise that I mention on the episode:

For each category below, spend 1 minute (no more -- set a timer) coming up with something that you want that feels totally impossible for you to have. It can be physical or non-physical; a thing, a belief, an experience, etc. Anything goes, but just one thing per category:

1. Self confidence


Use this sentence to guide you: "It feels impossible, but in my [category above], I want __________." You can also use this one: "If I had a magic wand, I would wish for ____________."
