Just Start: Get Visible

Yes - you can lead in so many lanes, including the legal lane. What a great conversation with Margeaux Thomas, as we explore how she used her expertise to give herself permission to get started and launch her own firm!

Let's get started...

What makes you unique and different? (ponder on that for a while) I'll share my reality. While many people get recharged and refueled by going to the spa, taking multiple days off of work or binging their favorite shows, I have to tell you - that does not do it for me.

I get refreshed from short, spurts of rest and I don't need or like to take off long period of work. I like mini charges and I know that works for me. While I have people in my life who remind me to slow down and take breaks (and I do), my requirements for respite and breaks is best served up for me in shorter periods of time.

I want you to be aware of what best works for you. If what you need is a refresh/recharge, remember that it only works if you do it in a way that is unique and effective for you!

Just a few weeks ago, I went to dinner with a good friend of mine, Jacqueline M. Welch, who also wrote the foreword for my latest book, The Unexpected Leader.

I can guarantee you that every time I meet with her, I walk away feeling positive, filled up and refreshed. Do you have a friend in your life like that - one that always leaves you and you feel better than when you first came into their presence.

Let's explore how you can refresh by getting the right people around you.

Do you open up and close out your day or do you find yourself shuffling papers from one part of the desk to the other trying to find a slither of space to actually get things done?

On Part 2 of this series on the power of refreshing, let's explore the opportunity that you possess to have a grand opening and grand closing every day.

I hope that you didn't see the P word - purge, and it worried you. I mean, there was an entire movie about purging and (spoiler alert), they weren't purging clothes or paper. What I want you to think about when you hear ME say the word purge in this episode is purging things for clarity, peace and freedom.

Because of a few past scenarios in my life, I find myself being a regular purger. It helps to provide mental and physical space in my life to actually think creatively and get things done.

Join me for part 1 of this 4-part episode as we explore the world of Positive Purging.

How? How can you go from having all these ideas and potential opportunities to turning then into action?

Well, I suggest that you embrace Expansive Thinking and give yourself permission to turn it into action.
