I have a confession to make. I hate shopping, but I love the way I feel in beautiful clothes. I love to have new looks, and I really don't want to be seen in the same outfits over and over, but I also don't want to clog landfills with more fast fashion. Because I despise shopping, I've been known to buy too quickly and end up with a closet full of things I don't wear.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, we explore the delicate balance between feminine and masculine energies in communication. Building on the previous two episodes in our series "The Feminine Advantage," we delve into how women can harness both energies to navigate emotionally-charged situations and achieve desired outcomes. 

I’ll recount my experience with a group of millennial leaders and how, through strategic communication, they were able to present their ideas in a way that could be heard and acted upon by their more senior counterparts. This episode emphasizes the importance of empathy, curiosity, and preparation in effective communication, especially when the stakes are high.

Hear from my clients and colleague about their real-life experiences with communication challenges and successes. Leslie shares how embracing feminine attributes like empathy and creativity has leveled the playing field in her negotiations. Jennifer Frye discusses the power of directness tempered with curiosity and kindess. Kara Levy, a communications coach for C-suite executives, provides insights on influencing without power, focusing on empathy and relationship-building rather than simply winning arguments. 

This episode is packed with actionable advice, including a coaching question, a journal prompt, and an affirmation to help you apply these principles in your work today.

Topics Covered:

• Balancing feminine and masculine energies in communication
• The importance of empathy and understanding in influencing others
• Using curiosity to open up conversations and avoid assumptions
• The effectiveness of direct communication paired with kindness
• Preparing for high-stress situations and managing emotions

“The way we, as women, can help heal the masculine in the world is by balancing our feminine energy with it—modeling healthy masculine behaviors and qualities in ourselves for the women and men in our lives.”

Are you a brave and confident female leader, yet you find yourself hesitant when it comes to reaching out to potential clients or posting on social media? Do you struggle with delivering tough feedback or setting boundaries in your business? 

These challenges often stem from an imbalance in masculine qualities, which can hinder your ability to take decisive action, set clear boundaries, and effectively lead your team. 

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, we delve into the Father Archetype—a powerful masculine energy that can help you navigate these areas with more confidence, clarity, and effectiveness. By integrating this archetype into your business, you can strike a balance between masculine and feminine qualities, leading to more productivity and profitability.

We explore what the Father Archetype is, why it’s essential for female leaders, and five key areas where it can be effectively applied in your business. You'll hear insights from an expert who works with us on archetypes, as well as stories from my clients who have successfully harnessed this energy to overcome their own challenges. 

Whether it’s managing difficult client conversations, setting clear boundaries, or making tough decisions, this episode provides practical advice on how to embody the Father Archetype to enhance your leadership skills.

Topics covered in this episode:

⭐ Understanding the Father Archetype and its importance in business

⭐ Five specific areas to apply masculine energy in your business

⭐ Real-life examples of how the Father Archetype can help in client negotiations, decision-making, and people management

⭐ Practical tips for accessing this archetype to boost your confidence and assertiveness

Learn how to harness your unique feminine qualities for a more holistic approach to success.

“That is the feminine advantage. We get ahead by leaning into what makes us different from business as usual.”

Do you ever feel like the only way to get ahead in your business is to be a more masculine version of yourself? Maybe you find yourself downplaying your natural strengths because they don't fit the traditional business mold.

Welcome to episode one of The Feminine Advantage: An Empowering Series for Women Consultants. At this time in history, we're witnessing the rise of the feminine. How do we bring that into our businesses? In a classically masculine field like business, there's a tendency to bring a ton of masculine energy in. Too much, though, can create a toxic work environment like many of us experienced in corporate settings; overly competitive, scarcity minded, controlling. Conversely, too much feminine energy can lead to passivity, a stagnation and excessive emotionality. These are, of course, generalizations and in no relation to gender. There’s masculine and feminine in all of us! 

This special six-part season addresses the challenges and opportunities for women consultants. There are huge opportunities available to women now because let’s face it, the old way isn’t working for us anymore. It’s time to do something new, and in the way only women can. 

Today, I'll help you learn to spot the signs of energy imbalance between your masculine and feminine sides, and understand the negative impacts this imbalance can have on your health and your business. You’ll hear from other women consultants who will each share her one unique story of how they bring these energies into their business to achieve maximum personal and professional success. 

Key Takeaways:

• The rise of the feminine in today's business landscape
• Balancing masculine and feminine energies for a healthier work environment
• Personal and client stories on overcoming burnout and embracing feminine qualities
• The power of vulnerability in leadership and client relationships
• The importance of collaboration and building a supportive team
• Trusting divine guidance and intuitive decision-making

Samantha also offers practical tips for recognizing energy imbalances in your business, along with coaching questions and assignments to help you integrate these concepts into your work.

“Stop hiding, be brave, and go big.”

Do you feel like your business is one of the best kept secrets in town? Do you try to get in front of people but fall short? I have good news and bad news for you today. The good news is you do not have to be everywhere to get all the clients you need.

In today's episode, we're talking about strategic visibility; how to stop hiding, be brave, and go big so that exactly who needs you right now can find you. 

The best part? It's probably much easier than you're making it.

Be sure to listen ‘til the end because not only do I provide resources, I’ll also share some fun exercises that I hope will inspire you to become more visible. These are the same exercises I give my clients to help them be bigger and bolder so they achieve what they want in their businesses.

“One of the great pleasures of owning my own business has been building relationships with my team members.”

Women consultants fall into different camps when building a team for their consulting businesses. 

• Those who are doing everything themselves because they either believe they can't afford to hire team members or that no one else can do things as well as they can.
• “I'll figure it out” camp. And they probably can! Women are amazingly capable. They can multitask, are multi-passionate and multi-talented, and are also interested in learning and challenging themselves. But those ideas can keep us small, overworked, and frustrated.

In today's episode, I’m sharing practical tips along with some philosophical points of view that can help you think better about building your team. 

People can be the most joyful or the most stressful parts of our businesses (and of our lives, btw). My intention today is to provide you with the most important principles to remember when building your team.

“Mindset is actually the greatest determiner of success, far more than skills or talents.”

If there is anyone who's done a 180 degree turn on mindset, from thinking it was total nonsense to thinking it's absolutely everything, it’s ME. I clearly remember the days I would think I don't have any limiting beliefs. Boy was I wrong. But the great news here is that it’s completely possible to change that. In fact, it’s imperative that you do. In my experience, mindset will get you further than skills or talents ever could. Mindset encompasses things like personal leadership and self-management, and your ability to get things done, resilience, belief in yourself, positivity, all kinds of things. 

In preparing for today's episode, I went through dozens of past episodes, out of the 200 total, that are dedicated purely to mindset – dozens. So it was hard for me to select just a few of them, but these are the ones that I felt were the most essential listening on this topic. We're going to cover self-sabotage, productivity tips, getting what you want and making yourself happy. We’ll dive into the hermit archetype and what that means for your work, and we’ll wrap it up with uncovering shame around money, and two revelations that came up in my 200th episode. 

Key Takeaways: 

00:00 Intro

03:36 Identifying Self Sabotage

10:37 Transformation through Celebration

15:37 The Power of Asking for Help

20:18 Get What You Want
