MaYapinion®

Hi Guys! Welcome to March as we kick off Maya's Monday Motivation for March! The first episode I am talking about comparison. It is evident throughout the podcast that I am not a fan.. I truly believe it is the thief of joy. And, it has changed my life since I have learned to eliminate it from my life.But, how does that affect the workplace? You as a leader? It affects us ALL. So, it impacts how we lead too. I discuss that on this week's podcast. Do not let comparison be your thief of joy :-) but that's just, MaYainion. Enjoy! XOXO Maya

Hi Guys! Welcome back to MaYapinion! This week I am releasing a cast about love in the workplace in honor of Valentine's Day. I have a special guest on, my husband. We met at work and I have received so many questions about our relationship. So, we talk about how our relationship began, how our relationship impacted our work life, and at the end, we ask each other some fun questions. I also ask Jackson his opinion about work romance and the do's and don'ts!I hope you have just as much fun listening to this podcast as we did making this episode. I am still recovering from the flu so I appreciate each and every one of you who continue to listen to the podcast and my opinions. :-) I can't wait to hear your feedback, comments, and questions.

Hi Guys! I hope everyone enjoyed the Super Bowl and welcome to February! Didn't January feel like a year in itself?Well, I'm back to finish talking about the "W's" with "When." On this episode, I discuss how important it is to understand your "when" for every aspect of your life. I believe that we live too much on other's expectations and expected timelines. I feel like knowing your when is a natural evolution from understanding and know your "Where" so it is a great transition from last week.I hope you enjoy and follow your own journey of the W's, but after all, it's just my opinion.I always want your opinion and questions though so don't forget to message or follow me on Instagram @mayapinionpodcast or @mayaroffler , or on Facebook @mayapinionpodcast I will be doing a LIVE Q&A later on this month!XOXO Maya

Hi Guys! I hope everyone enjoyed the MLK holiday so we took a little break from our Monday Motivation but we are back.This week we are continuing to explore the "W's" and talking about "Where?" How does this apply to us in life and business, right? Well, the question for this cast is "Where are you supposed to be?" Spoiler alert... You are exactly where you are supposed to be.This concept has really changed my life and I share my three step thought process on "Where." I hope you enjoy, and after all, it's just, my opinion :-) XOXO Maya

Hi Guys, I am excited to be back with our second episode of the new year! I am continuing with my theme of the who, what, when, where, why, how? I guess it's the English major in me :-) But, I also feel like it is a great way to kick off the new year and decade!On this episode, I talk about discovering who you are... I discuss understanding what values are important to you and how this drives everything in your life (especially career). I give my opinion on values, life, and personality tests..I hope you enjoy and afterall, it's just MaYapinion :-) Notable pages:https://www.personalityperfect.com/entj-the-commander-personality-profile/https://psychcentral.com/quizzes/personality/start.phphttps://www.onlinepersonalitytests.org/disc/ XOXO Maya

Hi Guys! Happy New Year!I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. I am back with my new episodes of MaYapinion and we are continuing with Maya's Monday Motivation on MaYapinion after an awesome holiday break. Welcome to the 20's! On our last episode, I talked about your why and my own special opinion of how people tend to fall into different categories with their why's. "What is your what" dives deeper in to this topic because your why's drive your what, your what drives your purpose, and in my opinion, your purpose is your passion because passion = purpose.So, I hope you enjoy this extended episode to kick off the new year and it helps you start thinking about how to go after your goals this year and decade! (I do have a touch of a cold so I sound a bit deep on this cast).XOXO Maya

Hi Guys! Happy Holidays! Welcome to the first week of Maya's Monday Motivation on MaYapinion. I am sharing my opinion about leadership topics and so much more every Monday to kick off the week right! I will still be interviewing amazing and inspiring women, but this will be my weekly segment. I received messages from many of you asking me questions so here it goes! Keep them coming.I wanted to kick off Monday Motivation with "What is your Why?" because this is how I kick off my relationship with each individual contributor I have on my teams or individuals I mentor. I think this is such an important question to ask and understand but that's just, MaYapinion. :-) I hope you enjoy my breakdown of this question and feel compelled to share your why! Happy Holidays to everyone and thank you for listening! XOXO Maya

On this episode of MaYapinion, I sat down with Senator and Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick. I walked away from my time with the Senator feeling completely inspired. In fact, you will hear me often say, "WOW" through the interview. Senator Kirkpatrick and I discuss her journey from a small town in Kentucky to her successful career as an orthopedic surgeon and now, senator. She gives amazing advice to women in business and encourages women to really go for it. She discusses the idea of "having it all" as a women, how she managed to have a beautiful family life and exceptional career, and her passion for the medical field. She shares about her passion projects and her love for animals. I'm sure you can already guess that we connected about animals, especially dogs. Whether you are a republican, democrat, or independent, she is an inspiration to us all. I hope you enjoy the cast as much I enjoyed speaking with Senator Kirkpatrick and giving MaYapinion.Please check out her site and her YouTube videos to learn more!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubhWPPQuTSI&feature=youtu.be+http://www.senate.ga.gov/senators/en-US/member.aspx?Member=4910&Session=27 XOXO Maya
