Have you ever felt insignificant in a role at home or a job/position that you held? Have you ever used the language "just" or "only?"
"I'm just a stay-at-home mom."
"I only work the front desk."

There might be two reasons for that...you don't believe who you are and what you do is significant, or someone else (spouse, manager) didn't tell you who you are and what you do is significant.

Press play on this pep talk friend, YOU are significant!

Do you consider yourself a leader?
Majority of us hesitate to call ourselves a leader. We glorify leadership thinking it is above us, and we tend to discredit our ability to lead just one person. If you have influence on another individual, you are a leader. Press play to hear how you can redefine leadership by creating and acknowledging more lollipop moments in your life.

Quotes:
"We need to redefine leadership as being about lollipop moments - how many of them we create, how many of them we acknowledge, how many of them we pay forward, and how many of them we say 'thank you for." - Drew Dudley
"Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flow charts. It is about one life influencing another." - John Maxwell

How great would it feel to start every day with a high five in the mirror? Enter Mel Robbin's High 5 Habit book and challenge! Press play to learn all about Mel's research and our real-life experiences with the high five.

Comparing ourselves to others often happens automatically without us even being aware we are doing it. Especially now that we have so much access into other people's lives through TV and social media.

We encourage you to take a digital detox when comparison brings you down or starts working against you. However, for those of you who use it as an essential part of your business and a means for connecting with others this episode will give you some tools to bring more self-awareness and action steps to choose positive emotions making social media work in your favor.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

I give myself permission to slow down. I do not need to accomplish everything today. My well-being and my relationship are exponentially more important than completing tasks.

We are back for another coffee chat edition, and this time we are taking it a step further and using coffee as our analogy and lesson.

Life is often difficult. It can be harsh, stressful, and feel like a pot of boiling hot water. The environments we find ourselves in can change, weaken, or harden us, and test who we truly are.

Tune in to how you can be more like the coffee bean the next time you face adversity.
