Dr. Stephen V.   concludes with part four of this to-the-point four-part, mini-series entitled Unleash the Go!  with an angle on a topic that will put our self-reliance and insecurities to the test - our willingness to ask for help.

We all come to the table with a set of resources of our own, be they material, intellectual, and/or relational. Yet there will likely be resources you do not have access to... yet. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  shows us:

• the proof we genuinely have respect for the pivots we need to face in our plans or strategy at any level is revealed in just how much we are willing to look, ask and even "knock on doors" to access the partnership and support along the way.

All of these principles can be easily applied to your personal, family, and professional life.  These short sprints of information are deliberately designed for you to listen to it again and again in manageable chunks so you remain focused on applying it as you take action. 

If you haven't listened to it already, be sure to tune in to Ep. 35: Waiting Is Not a Waste: Four Resources for Rescuing Your Restlessness | Tuesday's Take. It will set you up for this phase of your emergence from waiting.

So the initial plan didn’t work out. It seldom does. Realign your thinking. That’s what a pivot pushes us into – thinking differently about how we attack the goal without losing commitment and stamina toward it.

Dr. Stephen V.   continues with part three of this to-the-point four-part, mini-series entitled Unleash the Go!  All of these principles can be easily applied to your personal, family, and professional life.  These short sprints of information are deliberately designed for you to listen to it again and again in manageable chunks so you remain focused on applying it as you take action.  

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. :

•  shows us how to put the thinking in check  that pushes against our verbal commitment to  adjust to the pivot
• points us to a few strategies that tend to the head and the heart as you exercise your pause and reset your thinking so then continue onward 

If you haven't listened to it already, be sure to tune in to Ep. 35: Waiting Is Not a Waste: Four Resources for Rescuing Your Restlessness | Tuesday's Take. It will set you up for this phase of your emergence from waiting.

Some decisions need more pressure before they become actions, but that might not be something you are comfortable or accustomed to applying yourself. In this episode, Dr. Stephen shows us what gracious persistent pressure can look like in a decision-making process so that we can land on the one that serves the masses for the long term rather than our emotions in the moment.

 Most of us aren't in the habit of sitting through the closing credits of movies.  We don’t see them as worth our time, but what we are doing is short-changing our experience because we leave all of the wonder  - skills, talent, and creative force people who don't get top billing bring to the work of what becomes a finished product.  Dr. Stephen V.  shows how staying for the closing credits is a metaphor for life – teaching us what it means to give everyone the opportunity to be celebrated and take center stage.

In this Take Care & Live! Rewind episode, Dr. Stephen V. revisits  the question(s):

• When is it in my and others best interest to conform to current expectations? 
• When it is best to disrupt the habit of conformity by engaging in a less popular but more beneficial actions? 

Conformity is typically a way to create or establish a collective point of view or maintain particular behaviors and value systems. And often the expectation that people adapt to those norms can begin with good intentions. But what happens when times, conditions, and people change? How should we respond. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us grapple with the nuances of compliance and provides some guidance on how to strategically assess the role the call to comply it is having our individual worlds.
