Join the Journey

It is time to say goodbye to 2017 and welcome with open arms the new year ahead.  In this final episode of 2017, I share some pieces of what the year has taught me and where I stand on the achievement of my own goals.  I also share what I learned through a year of podcasting.

In today's short episode I just want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.  This time of year can be filled with traditions that can emotionally anchor us and those anchors can be a blessing or they can sometimes hold us back.  

Once upon a time fear served a meaningful purpose for our existence.  In today's world though, most of us don't have the same survival threats that existed thousands of years ago.  However, fear still hangs out with us and can often be used as a motivator, but is it a good motivator?   Listen to today's episode to hear more.

As I am doing my own planning around 2018, I have found myself in numerous conversations with others who just don't know what they want to do with their life.  If occassionally you find yourself in this space, then check out this week's episode where I provide you with a few tips to start your own dreaming.

If you are a leader then you likely find that you too get bombarded with marketing of new leadership rograms, theories or leadership books.  Clearly the concept of leadership sells.  The truth is that leadership really is a simple concept yet we find ourselves continually overcomplicating it.  Listen in on today's episode to hear more.

In today's short episode I remind each of us to stop and reflect on the reverence of the holiday season.  It is easy to get caught up in the chaos ... or the quietness in my case.  Listen in on today's episode and hear more.

Whatever you think you really want in life, whatever your current goal is... that's never what it is really about.  We think we are after a certain end result but if you break it down what you will find is that what you are really after is how you think that end result will make you FEEL.  It's all about a feeling and today you have a smorgssbord to choose from... which ones will you pick?  Choose wisely.  Listen in on today's episode where I talk about creating intention around our feelings.

It is said that comparison is the thief of joy.  Comparison is often a zero sum game where we end up declaring one the winner and the other the loser.  It generally comes with an attached mindset of either lack or arrogance, and neither of those originate from love.  Listen in on today's episode where I share a reminder that there is enough abundance to go around and that comparison often only robs us of the beauty and appreciation of that in front of us.

Today's short episode kicks off the month of November and I talk about the importance of gratitude and appreciation.  I have a challenge for you over the next month so listen in, take part, and see if this gratitude challenge begins to shift the world around you.  I would love to hear about your gratitude journey so send me a note and let me know how it is working for you.  Email me at [email protected].
