Opening Closed Doors

Wanda L Scott is a successful emotional intelligence coach. She is also an author and trainer. She shares her life journey with us. Being raised by a wonderful and influential mother, Wanda was inspired to find joy in teaching and training others. Despite difficulties at home as a child, Wanda shows resilience and the ability to use self-awareness and faith to navigate the challenges of home and work life. She says..

'We tend to be in survival mode, just doing the best that we can, with what we have or doing the best we can for our family, our children, or to do our job. And, you know, for years I excelled in school and my initial career and that took up time away from realising that I needed to heal.

In an effort to cope with my job situation, when I started running into the inequities that appeared in the particular field that I worked in, I found that growing my emotional intelligence caused me to have to look to my personal past and start to, (because I'm a woman of faith) seek God, seek the Lord about how that worked for me and what my path was, and it just kind of pushed me to be stronger in my faith, and stronger in the Word of God to kind of have compassion with myself where I was not'

Wanda developed her coaching career based on compassion and emotional intelligence where she develops others in the Empowerment school. Her love for people and developing others is rooted in her Christian faith evident in her mission and vision.

'We don't realise that there are different things that happen in our lives, that can be termed traumatic and when you don't deal with these traumatic experiences, they build up. Then you have these layers of traumatic experiences. When you then come down to get some help, I think I need to heal, you don't know, which layer to start with, or where it came from. I go to God to pick and pinpoint where to start…'

Key take away

'You have to be compassionate with yourself and find those resources that help lead you in a direction to say, 'I just need to talk to somebody' or it can even be a group of people who shared traumatic experiences as you did, and sometimes just talking is a great start to pointing you in the right direction to healing.

A successful youth coach, founder and CEO of Oluvme (a community for women and children to receive help and guidance) Tina Vaphiadis shares her personal journey with vivid imagery.

Closing Doors to a toxic relationship, to the freedom of living her life like a phoenix rising from the fire of negativity. Tina shares the impact on her family as a result of the toxic relationships and how she left, opening the door to living a life full of gratitude, forgiveness and accountability.

Tina describes the importance of 'owning your baggage' and moving from victim mode to making the choice to be free. She shares the road from 'forgiveness to freedom 'and the route to 'embody' gratitude.

Tina say 'We are not honest because we don't want to have the difficult conversations. If we hold back we carry the sacrifice resulting in resentment and not love.

Take the baggage off!

'Forgiveness is not easy but you have to let that burden be carried by the other person. It's their burden'

Tina relates how her experience shapes the way she supports young people going through family divorce. Speaking about generational trauma she says, 'I saw myself in her (her daughter's) eye and this really woke me up. I was not the role model I wanted for my children'. -

KEY TAKEAWAY

Tina shares 10 steps towards a life full of abundance & joy:

1. Create boundaries, make others respect your boundaries
2. Close the doors on the family might work to avoid toxic conversations
3. The journey toward boundaries is difficulty however important
4. Self- Care is more than 'painting your nails'. Its more about how I need to take care of myself? How can I be my own parent? What do I need today and tomorrow. Put on your oxygen mask. Quality time with those you love.
5. Rising from the fire of a toxic relationship is difficult - Be compassionate and take baby steps
6. Destruction leads to growth
7. Looking back but not staying back
8. Use effective communication as a tool to 'take out the fire'! This is a skill that needs to be taught. We make assumption that good communication is a natural behaviour. It needs to be learnt and practiced. Active listening is key.
9. Become emotionally intelligence as a tool for how we navigate social relationship
10. Good Communication + Respect = Trust

'We can all rise no matter how difficult things are right now, there is a rebirth, rise, resurrection'.

Ife Thomas, a successful mindset and confidence coach, opens up about her challenges as a child with autism. Ife spent many years trying to fit in, struggling with her self awareness until she was diagnosed with autism as an adult in 2014.

It was a journey full of emotions. Going from anger to appreciation, activism, then acceptance.

Today, she chooses to be happy every day. She trusts herself and shows up confidently everywhere. She no longer feels the need to justify herself.

You'll hear that her son is also diagnosed with autism. We cover why it's so important to show up with unshakable confidence and how this impacts your children.

We can celebrate our differences. The story of Ife is living proof and one of inspiration. Her resilience shows we can open closed doors no matter our challenges.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Alison's calm and thoughtful manner is testament to her expertise and years of experience in emotional intelligence coaching. The curation of her professional career, in spite of closed doors, is evidence of her skill in pivoting into opportunities and opening doors along the way.

Alison shares her journey from youth through, university and finally her story lands in her current professional experience. A chance meeting with a colleague provided an opportunity to open the door to HR followed by people management and finally to a successful entrepreneurial career in emotional intelligence coaching.

Alison now works successfully in the area of her dreams as a coach. She shares how she was able to eventually become a life 'teacher' working to create better self-awareness in the people she coaches.

'So my story really, if I'm perfectly honest, started a long time ago when I was a little girl because my dream as a little girl was to be a teacher. And I was so certain of the fact that I was going to be a teacher that there was nothing else that I ever considered doing as a career. I had chosen to teach senior high school students and my topics of choice for teaching were geography and Afrikaans, which was my second language, but I could speak it well at school. ………... My father, however, had other ideas for me…'

After years in the commercial arena, Alison pivoted full circle into the social science space drawing on the wealth of her experience gained from her success in commerce.

'I'm so grateful for my corporate career, because I've got the stories and the lessons and experiences that I can now draw on'

Alison now walks in her purpose after opening and closing many door with emotional Intelligence as the driver. Her openness and candour is refreshing. Seeing the cooperate environment as an open door to shape other female executives has led to a business where Alison develops other managers and teams towards productivity and success.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Trust yourself, trust your gut, don't make any decisions stuck in those strong, unproductive emotional states. Check in with yourself, what is your intention? How are you showing up right now? We don't have to make these tough decisions on our own, sometimes even just verbalising helps us to work through some of the problem statements, but the most important thing when we're making big decisions, check your emotional states don't make those big decisions from strong, unproductive emotional states. Be in neutral, being calm, be in confidence.

Simply the Best! with Robert Hanna

Robert takes us on an amazing journey through his life story. He shares how being 'recently listed as a LinkedIn top one 100, Rising Star, and Influence' and starting a successful recruitment agency for lawyers was inspired by the legacy of his grandfather who ran the 'largest law firm outside of any major London law firm' and how his mother, a determined 'strong willed, independent woman, with a lot of that grit and determination, and resilience' inspired him on to become a successful entrepreneur and to be the best.

Robert shares how he opened doors during the pandemic pivoting from a footsie 250 company into entrepreneurship to become a globally recognised and successful recruitment law firm where he 'helps lawyers find jobs'.

Robert describes himself as loyal. 'I think loyalty is one of the most important traits, because loyalty and trust is one of the most important things in business. I know some people would say that's quite a bizarre answer, but for me loyalty and trust, it's so hard to find in business so hard to find, because a lot of people are out for self-gain. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that…., everyone wants to get on and have a good career, a good livelihood and do well. But if you can have someone who is genuinely kind-hearted, loyal, devoted to you and trustworthy, that's for me'

An inspiring encouraging & empowering interview. Full of life lessons and drive. Many doors opened. Enjoy the ride!

..'you can see that competitive nature in everything that I do, I have to be the best. I'm quite vocal about that, not in the sense of an arrogance thing, but just in my internal self drive, you know, I want to be the best I can be and always push myself.

Sophia shares her aspirations for the Opening Closed Doors podcast. Sophia says 'My plan for the podcast is that people will recognise a beautiful story and a journey. Wherever you are at this time, this podcast will give you an opportunity to see that, firstly you are not alone in your experience and that can be a support, also that you may be able to resonate and connect with some of the stories, recognising that people who are going through similar situations as you, get through the other end….

KEY TAKEAWAY

Everyone has a life story and every story matters. 'Life is a journey. Once you accept and embrace that journey, it will move you to open closed doors into a completely different life. A life on purpose'.

Trailer

In this trailer, host Sophia Nicholls explains the intention of the Opening Closed Doors Podcast; how it is designed to encourage the audience to embrace their story and life journey and to inspire, enable and empower them to live on purpose. Focusing on the challenges and opportunities of their story, Sophia asks her guests on the show to share their journey- essentially the doors they had to close and the doors and opportunities they have opened. The focus is on transitions with the aim of providing connections, resonance, and encouragement.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Every story matters. Each guest is unique. Every journey has doors that have been closed giving room for others to be opened. Every single guest Sophia has interviewed has brought their experiences to the podcast and she can't wait for people to hear what they have to say! Tune in from 17th April 2022
