Recorded 9/2/2021. Originally published on 9/16/2021. Phil Bieg is the Founder/CEO of Organizational Research & Development LLC (https://www.organizationalrnd.com/), the Creator/Host of the Organizational RND Podcast, and has been one of my most trusted friends for over a decade. He specializes in Coaching/Consulting work that helps workplaces improve their organizational culture and maximize the potential of their employees both individually and collectively. Phil has been instrumental in helping me navigate the professional/career transition I have been going through over the past several months, and I am very excited to share our conversation.

There are some mild audio issues with this episode that I am attempting to resolve; the volume in the conversation dialogue portion/segment is a bit quieter than the intro segment, ad segment, and outro segment. If this issue persists for you, I encourage you to increase the volume for the conversation dialogue, then to decrease it before the outro segment. 

I speak with Graciela Moore (@songofmyself.ig on Instagram) about how the concept and principle of hope has shaped both her life and her coaching practice (Song of Myself Coaching, LLC: somcoaching.com), distinguishing between "mature hope" and unhealthy ideas about hope, what the term "perfect brightness of hope" means to her, her recent graduation from and journey through the JRNI Life Coaching Intensive (jrni.co or @jrnicoaching on Instagram), the influence of language, literature, art, and creativity on her life, what "Song of Myself" means to her, and how she has coached herself through various life transitions. You can register for her Hope Series at https://calendly.com/somcoaching/hopeseries?month=2021-09.
