Open Door Conversations

We hear about time management all the time. Everyone tells us how important it is to manage our time; however people neglect to teach us how to manage our time effectively. Productivity is closely related to how we treat our time. There are ways we can improve our relationship with time to get the best outcomes from it. 

Everyone gets the same amount of time in a day but, everyone experiences that amount of time differently. Akua explains that because time is a mental construct, everyone should be treating their time uniquely to their thoughts and feelings. She shares various ways to get clear on how to spend your time most beneficially. It is time to ask yourself how you spend your time now and how you could better spend your time going forward.

Thought partner, cheerleader, sounding board, devil’s advocate. Leadership coaches wear all of these hats and many more in order to support their clients in personal and professional life. However, leadership coaching, like most everything, can get clouded by faulty ideas or misunderstandings. Akua is here to expel 5 common misconceptions about leadership coaching and give examples of these errors from her years as an executive coach.

This episode is for anyone who has felt anger, big or small. Seryna and Akua discuss how to leverage that feeling and use it as a tool to helps us learn lessons. Although anger can feel consuming, it is important to have strategies in place so that when anger presents itself, there is a process for working through it and learning from it. When we choose to skip over the processing step, our anger often comes back to visit again and again until we recognize it, sit with it, and ultimately learn from it.

In this #AskAkua episode, Akua focuses on self-trust, self-worth, self-love, and self-advocacy. When you set high standards for yourself, it can be beneficial to remember that self-compassion is just as important to find growth and balance. Akua will answer 2 questions discussing how to show up in a sustainable way, how to define success and enoughness in your business, and how being too hard on yourself can affect your business.
