  • You have unlimited potential

    In the first half of this episode Mario describes his journey from Chile to Australia, his schooling and early work experience that lead him to becoming an insurance sales person and ultimately a successful businessman.

    Mario's life changed when he picked up a book in which he read he had unlimited potential and  that he could achieve anything he put his mind to. This was the catalyst that he needed to turn his life around and start his journey of personal growth and entrepreneurship. 

    I encourage you to listen in and take notes during the second half of this episode as Mario shares his thoughts around mindset, meditation, and persistence. 

    Ask yourself this: What do you want from your life and what actions are you taking to get it?

    Behaviors drive actions which become habits and ultimately produce the your results. If you want to get different results in the future you need to start by changing your behaviors today!

    Mario explains how being grateful for what you have and seeing it as being in existence will help to train your mind into making it happen. He also shares his meditation practice which helps to calm the mind and focus on your breathing.

    Some of Mario's quotes that may help you:

    "It’s time to WAKE UP! and get what you want from life."

    "I lost everything except my brain and ability."

    "Divorce the story and marry the truth."

    "I said I was going to do it; and I did."

    "If you want to be healthy, you have to become health conscious. If you want to be wealthy, you have to become wealth conscious."

    "Don’t worry about the future. Don’t think about the past. Act in the present."

    Thank you Mario for sharing your story and inspiring others to become the best version of themselves.

  • I am invincible - Steve Emt

    After high school, Steve chose to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY playing both soccer and basketball. Steve also attended the University of Connecticut playing basketball for the legendary coach Jim Calhoun.

    In March of 1995, Steve’s life took a dramatic turn when a car accident changed his life forever. After hours of surgery and days in a coma, he woke up to learn that he was paralyzed from the waist down and would never walk again. Confined to a wheelchair, Steve Emt was faced with the challenge of learning how to live again. After nine months of hard work and determination, Steve was back at work full time. Realizing it was time to make the decision to change his life, Steve went back to school to get his teaching certificate and taught middle school math for the next twenty years. During that time, he also coached the same high school boys’ basketball team that he once starred for.

    During the summer of 2013, a chance encounter introduced Steve to the sport of curling when he not only fell in love with the sport but realized that his dream of being an Olympian may still be attainable. Through hard work, commitment, and dedication, Steve earned a position on Team USA in the Winter of 2014 and has remained with the team ever since. To date, Steve is a 6-time National Champion, has competed in 4 World Championships and the 2018 Paralympic Games. He continues to work hard towards earning another spot on the team that will compete in the 2022 Paralympic Games to be held in Beijing, China.

    His goal is to help men and women of all ages, make decisions and reach their goals through perseverance and dedication. Despite his successes and accolades, Steve remains humble and a very engaging speaker.

    Listen as Steve shares his story and we discuss how everyone has unlimited potential that is waiting to be released.

    You can connect with Steve via his website, www.SteveEmt.com, or on Facebook.

  • Creative Learning with Molle Dorst

    Molle was born and raised in Canada and had, in her own words, an amazing childhood. She had the opportunity to try many experiences and is so grateful for that.

    She never really fitted in at school as she was always looking for new ways of doing things. Her grade 8 gym teacher showed Molle that she didn't need to follow the same path as everyone else and in fact it was an asset that she had a different way of thinking.

    Listen as Molle explains how this helped her to understand who she was and who she needed to have around her. This led to her questioning things and ultimately she rebelled against the norm because she was bored. Molle learned lessons from this rebellion and she chose to find different options for how she could continue her education.

    The important note here is that there are always options!

    We each learn differently with different strengths and perspectives. When we release that within our students we see exceptional results. Stretching the brain releases potential from our subconscious mind. 

    Molle left high school and went to University because that is what everyone does - so she thought. She studied philosophy and Eastern religion. She didn't have any guidance and therefore chose subjects that interested her rather than something that would lead her to a career she would love. 

    Molle doesn't feel that any of this time was a waste because she learned about the world and it has helped to grow her mind. When she joined the workforce Molle adopted an attitude of "How can I help" so that she could continue her learning and development. 

    When COVID hit Molle started to work for herself as a mediator and facilitator, someone to help guide other people embrace conflict. 

    How can we bridge the gap between these different types of thinking?

    How can we help people to be excited about what they are learning?

    We need to start talking to our teens differently and engage with them as adults, asking them for their perspective and thoughts. 

    Always think about what you want to move towards rather than what you are trying to escape from. 

    OWN:

    Owning the situation and your actions that brought you to where you are now.

    Win-win solutions to the problem. 

    Negotiating for better solutions.

    Thank you to Coach Molle for your contribution and for sharing your lessons today.

  • Furlough does not define you

    On April 18th, 2020 I entered a period of uncertainty after being placed on furlough from my role at The Walt Disney Company. At the time I was optimistic about the future thinking that this would be a short-term break and I decided that this would be a great opportunity to grow myself. 

    As the months went by with no communication from the company or my leader I started to become more frustrated. Disney is known as a relationship company so why the lack of care? 

    The Walt Disney quote: “You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality” is one of my favorites and I know it to be true so why were we being left out in the cold?

    Was it just me that had these feelings or did others have the same?

    I know that Disney is not the only company who had furloughed their employees and I also see that many people within the hospitality industry have been let go so we are fortunate in that respect as it could be worse. 

    So, what are furloughed cast feeling?

    “Wishing that it was over and things could go back to normal”

    “Anxious, frustrated and disconnected. First time I’ve been out of work since I was 15”

    “I feel frustrated and hopeless”

    “I am feeling frustrated and stressed out”

    “I’m so thankful that I’m furloughed, not laid off. Feelings of frustration and discontent are always at the forefront, I tend to keep myself occupied with small projects so I feel a sense of worthiness”

    “I know life throws things at us that we don’t expect. I am just choosing to enjoy my baby instead of fear and frustration.”

    “Being furloughed is definitely getting old. The alternative is worse, so I am trying to keep perspective. It just feels like limbo and I'm learning that it's not a comfortable space for me. I'm keeping busy and making the best of it, but I struggle with feeling so vulnerable.”

    “Trying to stay positive and move forward is my new full-time job!”

    “I'm feeling depressed”

    “It’s been depressing to see how many of my former and current fellow cast are positing on LinkedIn right now looking for work”

    “I look for as many positives as I can but sometimes the uncertainty can feel like too much”

    “The lack of communication is disheartening”

    “It’s making me question a lot of things for sure. It’s especially hard when your leader hasn’t reached out for months and you feel like too much of a bother if you try to reach out.”

    “My boss who was furloughed reaches out to us every week just to check in. But the ones that never got furloughed hasn’t called or text to see how things were going. It hurts because before all of this we felt like we were a family and busted our butt to make sure everything was buttoned up before the furlough began”

    I could go on but I think you get the picture so what can we do to help these great people who find themselves in this situation through no fault of their own?

    We can help them to know that they are not alone.

    We can show them care so that they know they are valued.

    We can help them to grow themselves personally so that they can position themselves for a brighter future. 

    Yes, this is a horrible situation that we find ourselves in but I honestly believe that we can come out of this stronger by learning to identify our purpose, passion and strengths. We all have unlimited potential and while we cannot always control what happens to us we can control how we respond. We are the captains of our soul, the masters of our fate and there are ways in which we can move forward with intentional action. 

    We should not put ourselves in a position where we rely on other people because when we do so we are at the mercy of their agenda, not our own. 

    I know that this is tough and many of us feel abandoned so I encourage you to do what I have done and shift your thinking from the natural scarcity mindset to one of abundance where you are moving towards something rather than being stuck in a situation that you want to get out of. 

    I have been in that dark place with negative thoughts at times during this furloughed life and here is what I know: We all have a choice. We can stay where we are and feel that the world is against us or we can seek out people who genuinely want to help us to become the best version of ourselves so that we can take control of our lives. 

    I am blessed to have an inner circle of people who pull me up. I choose to rise up to the greater expectations of my inner self and I refuse to let anyone else limit my potential. You can do this too. I believe in you and if you want help I invite you to reach out to me personally so that I can help you to find the power to take control. 

    Your current circumstance does not define who you are. You are special, you are loved, you are a unique being with unlimited potential so now is the time to rise up and maximize your potential every day.

  • Live a healthier lifestyle with Andrea Befus

    Andrea was born in Tokyo and always had a healthy lifestyle until she left home and had to fend for herself. Her family was extremely healthy and by default so was Andrea as she didn't have to think about it. However when she left home and then got married she was all over the place and put on 30 pounds!

    She "Googled" how to lose weight and other popular searches before realizing that none of these provided a long term solution. She became frustrated and therefore decided to put together a step by step plan on how to gain unwavering confidence and to live happy lives without the stress of what the world is telling them they "have" to do.

    The current pandemic has accentuated this situation because we are restricted on where we can go and therefore the tendency is to sit on the couch and snack.

    Andrea shares her 5-step framework that helps her clients to Master Their Thoughts, Understand Their Heart and Optimize Their Health.

    • Realize
    • Identify
    • Optimize
    • Overcome
    • Momentum

    Her process helps her clients to move away from fixating on what the scale says to a place where they can overcome any problem that they have.  It starts by developing the right mindset because without this, nothing that you try will stick. 

    Andrea describes how she hired a life coach who told her that anything she is experiencing can be fixed by what is in your head. At the time Andrea didn't believe that this would work for health until she started to see results in other areas of her life. Once she believed this could work she saw her health improve.

    Andrea doesn't believe in dieting and removing the food items that you enjoy so how does this work?

    When your self worth is not tied to how you look it doesn't matter what you look like and therefore you remove stress that is associated with weight. You are effectively using your mental energy for things that are more productive. While this does sound bizarre, it works!

    Intuitive eating is a huge deal and this is why Andrea does not provide specific meal plans with her program. She does help create nutrition plans and provides recipes but what and when you eat is your choice. When you know that you can eat whatever you want it takes away the craving, almost tricking your mind into eating healthy.

     Andrea has both an online course and coaching to help guide her clients through the process of applying her principals, She also provides a free eBook which you can download through the link below.

    These principals work for any age so it is something that can be used for families to become healthier in all aspects of their lives. Remember that there is no "quick fix" to living a healthier lifestyle. While you can get results after one coaching session you will experience increasing benefits the longer you practice. 

    You can connect with Andrea on Instagram and download her free eBook here.

    I want to stress that whatever your current situation is does not define you. Some things are out of our control and therefore all we can control is how we respond. I invite you to contact me if you would like to chat more about how I can help you to maximize your potential and do what you love to do every day.

  • Ali Goodin - Life in Furlough

    In this episode I am speaking to Ali Goodin, a fellow Disney cast member who was furloughed. Ali talks about her journey including how she has coped over the last 5 months.

    Ali's mission in life is to make a positive impact on the world around her by fostering community and connection. She has been honored to pursue this mission through her role as a Walt Disney World Cast Member since 2014, where she has held a number of Graphic Design and Communications roles.

    She is a member of the Cast Experience organization supporting design and communications as Business Support Manager for Cast-centered initiatives, including theme park previews, round tables, and traveling celebration events. Outside of her role, she plays an active part in her mission by cultivating grassroots resource groups, including a Professional Intern Community and Disney Creatives. From these experiences combined with the furlough announcement in March, she continued to pursue her mission in a new form - Life Coach. 

    Ali completed her certification program in May 2020 and has since launched her own life and career coaching business, Ful Life Coaching, that helps young professionals and recent graduates navigate the real world with 1-on-1 coaching and consulting services.

    Listen as Ali talks about how she has coped with a life on furlough and the discussions we have about how you can rise above the emotions in order to maximize your potential every day.

    You can connect with Ali on Facebook, Instagram or on her website.

    I want to stress that whatever your current situation is does not define you. Some things are out of our control and therefore all we can control is how we respond.

  • The Drip That Rips with Janet Mackay

    Janet uses her platform to grant wishes for children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and supports other philanthropic activities throughout communities.

    She recently created INPact Academy which includes the DRIP 

    Program, Youth Coaching and Life Skills Programs, and speaks with many audiences from a variety of stages on the power each of us has to "Be A Drip that Rips and Not A Drop That Plops," showing students and adults that the choices they make casts an intention to an outcome. What excites her most, are the stories she hears and shares in interviews with kids, adults and families throughout the world on the positive INPact they are making through kindness, compassion and connection.

    Janet lives in Long Island, NY with her husband Jack, and their children, Michael, (20) and Katelyn (18) and has blended a beautiful family as a stepmom of 3 (now adults) and is a proud "GraGra" of 3 grandchildren. Janet grew up with a passion to work with children and received a BS in Elementary Education and a Master's in Business.

    She truly believes that we are all here on purpose for a purpose and is excited to see all teens unwrap their personal gifts and continue to share them with the world through the new experiences they create and encounter.

    This interview is extracted from a Facebook live I did with Janet within my private group: Youth Leadership Development.

    Be careful what you wish for, the power of the thought. Janet describes how what you think about you bring about. Through her summer camps she has seen the transformation of kids developing from being shy to more outgoing and confident.

    This prompted her idea to use these experiences to create a difference in the world. (I love Janet's energy and enthusiasm, don't you?)

    In 2014 Janet hosted a week long Pasta swim - yes, swim in 400 lbs of spaghetti!!

    This was inspired by the loss of Robin Williams and the role of a doctor that he played in the movie Patch Adams where he treated the patient, not the disease. 

    It was from this program that Janet created the "Drip program" which works on the basis that when you a drip falls it creates a ripple effect of energy that can be felt world-wide.

    Energy creates dopamine in the brain which makes you feel happy and this energy is then released into everything you do. The drip creates this positive energy.

    Kids have so much power in them and today's youth truly are going to be the ones who will change the world. They want to be seen, heard, and know that they matter. 

    This led to the INPact academy. The energy was growing and becoming contagious. Janet shares some amazing examples of what kids have done to help give back to others by using the drip effect to create massive ripples.

    One kind act has a compounding effect so make a conscious effort to follow this every day. It is important that we continue to encourage this thought process as kids become teenagers so that it becomes a habit that will be taken into their adulthood.

    The negative drip, is the drop that plops. When a drop plops into sludge it cannot ripple. There are always going to be those people who drop rather that drip so we need to be intentional about maintaining the drip effect.

    A drip can be a small act, even something as innocent as a smile which we all can do. Even when wearing masks at the moment a smile shows in your eyes.

    You can connect with Janet on Facebook or through her website.

  • Introducing Tiffany Irene

    This was the catalyst for Tiffany to start connecting with coaches and listening to podcasts which started an amazing journey of personal growth and healing.

    In this episode Tiffany shares how she has now made it her mission to help others find this awareness without having to face the unnecessary struggles that she did. Here heart is with teenagers and their parents because it was her adolescent years where most of her limiting beliefs can be traced back to.

    As a parent of teenagers Tiffany sees the same challenge being faced by this generation. Many of the struggles that teenagers face can turn into mental illness and this is also rooted in a generational belief system so bringing the parents into the mix is crucial to success.

    When we challenge these beliefs and get people connecting to the love that exists within them it will show that anything is possible and that we can all maximize our potential every day. 

    Listen as Tiffany describes how aware her teenagers were of her strengths even though she was not using them in her job. This shows how teenagers observe us and our actions so connecting with them will open up a new world of possibilities.

    When her kids challenged her thoughts Tiffany realized that she was not living her purpose and so she set off on her journey of growth. 

    As Tiffany looked back on her life she became aware that she had been living within her comfort zone and using this as a distraction. When she started practicing Yoga she was able to create a habit of reflection and be still within herself which ignited her appetite for growth and learning. This led her to get a coach and she now sees that anything is possible.

    Tiffany was able to release the feelings and emotions that had been holding her back and once she was able to do this it opened up space for her to adopt intentional actions and behaviors.

    If Tiffany could go back to her teenage self the advice she would give is to be more present and that the situations and circumstances in life do not define what you life will be. 

    Tiffany is now focusing on coaching teens and parents so that they can connect with their inner selves and face the future with a fresh outlook.

    Teenagers often experience stress and anxiety through trying to please their parents and one of the quests that Tiffany and I share is to help educate teenagers on how to think about their "why" so that they can live up to their own expectations. 

    Parents are not generally aware of this as they were not taught to think this way either which is why bringing them alongside their teenagers during this journey is so beneficial.

  • Dreams Can Come True

    "All of your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them" - Walt E. Disney

    Do you have a dream?

    Is it truly a dream or is it a goal?

    Either is a good start to be honest because it means that you are working towards something. Too many people have had dreams and either let them die, or even worse not started them at all.

    Why do we not follow our dreams?

    Did someone tell you that you are not capable or worthy of it?

    Did you think that you couldn't do it or that it was impossible?

    Many of us compare ourselves to what we see other people achieving, in other words their "front end". What we should do is look at what they have done to get them where they are now and what they do on a daily basis to maintain their position then ask whether we are prepared to do the same?

    Desire - The cornerstone and starting point of all dreams.

    Reflect - Take time each day to look at what is working, what isn't working, and why.

    Eliminate - Get rid of any and all unnecessary distractions.

    Adjust - Be prepared to adjust your plans if things are not going well.

    Motivation - This is what will drive you through the inevitable tough times.

    Satisfaction - Celebrate the wins along the way and enjoy the journey.

    Your dream should be so big that it scares you and definitely moves you well outside of your comfort zone. 

    What is your dream and what can you do today to start moving towards it?
