Strategic Career Coach Carole Ann Penney of www.penneyleadership.com opens our minds to the possibility that our many talents actually intersect to create a fulfilling career path. Are you a multi-passionate professional? Instead of feeling scattered, try the simple exercise mentioned during the show to see the commonalities that connect your “many hats”. At this time, she’s focused on enjoying the journey as opposed to the constant striving hustle we’ve been told defines entrepreneurship. 

Certified Strengths Coach Caitlin Hawekotte of www.caitlinhawekotte.com joins us today in a discussion about using our natural personality strengths as assets via CliftonStrengths. She also shares how StrengthsFinder results altered her path in college for the better and how she’s navigating motherhood in combination with her career aspirations. Like many of us, she’s rebalancing to focus on a growing family while remaining aware that she can reach her goals, just not all at the same time.

In this bonus episode (surprise!) we share about the seemingly unreal experience of social distancing. We’ve set aside all the “projects” and are focusing on the basic day-to-day tasks that must be done to keep things rolling. Meanwhile, we’re ever-impressed with businesses’ creativity and thankful for technology while we’re all under quarantine.

Goals are desired results. Systems are processes. Reliance on goal setting can lead to feelings of loss if a goal is missed, or satisfaction that’s only temporary if the goal is met.

Welcome to the show for high-achieving, driven moms who are passionate about personal and professional growth and wellness. Our interviews will explore how the lives of highly driven women are constantly in a state of re-balance AND will share how changing behaviors and mindset around money will help in the pursuit of wellness in other areas, like health, relationships, and professional development. Join us in seeking balance while we do ALL THE THINGS.

Highly-driven, career-forward, successful women tend to also be excellent planners who are well organized. This has a downside though. We often set big, amazing goals only to put them off until we can get other things in place SO THAT we can start working toward the goal. Researching, coordinating, time-blocking, rearranging and other very useful activities are often disguised as procrastination toward our audacious, yet achievable dreams. What can you quit so that you’ll just start?

Our lives as highly-driven women are constantly in a state of re-balance. Together, we explore our current focus, areas in which we’re giving ourselves grace, and a few tips and habits we’ve implemented to make that intense goal-oriented focus possible. Managing growing families and businesses takes energy, coordination, and intention. This is exactly why we’ve chosen to ask for help in certain areas of life - so we can funnel as much energy as possible toward a specific focus at this time.
