  • Deliver Your Best Self | Tuesday's Take

    Dr. Stephen V. provides some affirmation about what it truly means to deliver "your best self". It's not about overperforming, over-exhausting, and being excessively available. Quite frankly, delivering our best self is about stepping up and into moments where we need to reset who, what and where our energy is given so it can be redistributed to the place and relationships that deserve the best of us.

  • Miles and Mentors: How to Keep Distance from Limiting Your Development | Tuesday's Take

    While it’s ideal to have mentors you can access locally, this can be a challenge for some, especially if the guidance you need and have been looking for that fits the unique direction of your life does not exist within your current spheres of influence.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  offers a strategic approach to getting the mentorship you need without allowing geography to be a barrier.  Instead, he shows us how to make it an asset.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  shows us how the desire for an uncommon outcome will require uncommon cooperation with what can be simple yet unsettling directions that disrupt our zone of comfort but open us up to the opportunity, breakthrough, and even the miracle that we have been desperately hoping to experience in our lives.

  • Recalibrate and Reassess "The" Resources | Unleash the Go! Mini-Series: Part 4

    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 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.

  • Realign Your Thinking | Unleash the Go! Mini-Series: Part 3

    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 towards 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 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.
