The 200% Life

I have always been fascinated by how mentors and other people who I have followed over the years spend their days. What exactly do they do to set themselves up for success? So this week, I wanted to share what my day looks like for anyone who is on their own self-leadership journey. I share all the details from what time I wake up to how I structure time for meditation and meetings to the food I eat… yeah, even my favorite seltzers (I’m pretty obsessed). When we set our day up for success, we can bring so much more alignment and clarity to our work. From that place, life and business flow so much more easily. See full show notes.

As a business leader, people are your most important investment, so we are always on the hunt for people – the right people – to bring into our organization. We know that investing in a great person will give you a far greater return of time and money than almost everything else, but yet so many companies hit a ceiling when it comes to getting to that next level of hiring great leaders and employees. This week, we discuss how to know if you are in your own way when it comes to hiring, if your fear or ego is setting you back from bringing on a rockstar hire, and how our Career Visioning process can help.

Do you wonder what your purpose is? You're not alone! It’s a question that comes up in the entrepreneur and personal development worlds a lot. This week, Caitlin Frauton, who is our Director of Marketing, and I talk about what a true purpose even is and how to discover your purpose by calling off the search for it. Sounds counterintuitive right? Whether you define yourself as a business leader, marketing director, or even a parent, you’re likely to discover that your purpose is something entirely different than you think.

As a leader, are you aware of the inner workings of your team enough to know well ahead of anyone else when a change needs to happen in your organization? Or maybe, you sense a person has outgrown their role even before they do? This week, we talk about how we know when it’s time to make changes in your business, with real-world examples of how we did it recently in our organization. We also talk about how to have important conversations with your team once you know how you’re going to change course. See the full show notes.

Language is so important and provides us with a mechanism to express ourselves and convey our experiences. However, the shadow side of language is that it keeps us in a fixed mindset as leaders. This week, we talk about why you should question everything as a leader, especially the words you use every day. See the full show notes.

Do you know what a “green leader” is and the difference between green leadership and moving up the ranks to new levels of leadership?

Vacations. They are a great chance to recharge, and they often can change the way we work in the weeks leading up to them! This week, we talk about what your feelings about vacation could be trying to tell you, why you need to plan a vacation, our take on working while away, and a few great vacation hacks so you can start fresh when you get back.

When it comes to business coaches, most people tend to think a coach is someone outside of their organization. But really having a strong coach within the organization is crucial for success, and if you’re the leader of your organization or team, that coach needs to be you! So in this week’s conversation, we dive into what it really means to coach your team as a leader. See the full show notes.

Looking for the right people for your team can feel like searching for a unicorn, or a needle in a haystack, or a diamond in the... you catch my drift :) When you're looking for the right skill set and the right cultural fit and the right work ethic, you may think it's going to take forever to find the exact person you need in your organization to help you grow it to the next level. So today we share an incredibly fast interview screening process that tells us within 15 minutes (and really, it's more like 5 minutes!) if the person is a viable candidate for our company.

Have you ever wondered where the line is between employee and friend? Maybe one day you realize that you've listened to your colleague talk for 30 minutes about their epic weekend. And you start to wonder... "Am I being too friendly here?" So this week, we talk about how to be clear on the difference between supporting employees and colleagues in their personal growth and getting pulled into the details of their personal lives.
