Are there areas in your life where you are lacking clarity? Let me ask you to consider a few questions that may be contributing to the lack of clarity. My suggestion is that you listen to the questions and then pause the podcast to consider these questions before you continue listening to this episode:

• What beliefs about yourself may be holding you back from clarity?

• Are you operating on assumptions that may not be valid?

• Is there anything about your current thinking that is limiting you?

This podcast discusses how our beliefs or mindset can keep us from getting the clarity we seek.

Typically, clients come to me because they have a goal they want to accomplish, but seem stuck in achieving it or they are assuming a larger leadership opportunity and know there are some major shifts they need to make to be effective in the new roles. When my coaching clients have successfully made a significant shift or accomplished a goal, I often ask them, “so, now what’s possible for you?” After they are unstuck and moving forward or successfully made some shifts, a whole new set of possibilities awaits them. They have reached a new level and new things are possible that were not possible before.

Consider several questions:

• What does getting to the next level mean for you?

• What would be possible for you if were at the next level?

• Who would you need to become if you want to be successful at that level?

• What actions do you need to take to begin that journey?

• Who do you trust to share the goal and to hold you accountable to you?

These are simple little questions, but seriously addressing them could open a world of possibilities for you

In my work as a coach and really throughout my career, I find there are some words or concepts that are terribly misunderstood and therefore tend to conjure up very negative thoughts that hold us back. Today, I want to talk about self-promotion. When most people thinking about self-promotion, they almost think of it as a four letter word when, in fact, if used properly, it is a powerful for your career.

This month's Podcast talks about the power of being affirmed and affirming others. Some strategies for self-affirmation are also included.

Recently, I have had a number of clients, friends and family find themselves in very ambiguous situations in their jobs. This podcast provides 5 strategies for dealing with ambiguity.

On this month's podcast, the topic is about focusing on the big result not your individual contribution to the result.

This track is the second in a series of ten minute Podcasts for leaders. This session is about the power of being intentional when trying to make a behavior shift or achieve a goal.
