The Authenticity Coach

What "season" of life are you currently in? Is this a season of spring's planning, when you begin to pursue new opportunities? Of summer's growth, when the buds of your efforts are beginning to appear? Of autumn's harvest when the rewards are reaped? Of winter's dormancy, when you plan & prepare? Or could this be a magnificent fallow season, when you rest & recharge -- a period of being present but not of performing or producing?

Our seasons of life are not linear, nor are they fully within our control. But they are natural -- & they each have their own beauty & gifts. Many of the most creative, productive & outwardly successful high achievers know the value of the winter season & the power of the fallow periods. They protect time to rest & recover as a key phase of their cycle of innovation & maximum productivity.

Learn what creativity is (and isn't), why it is essential to robust growth and how to invite it into your life & work. Hint: It's more about hunkering down than it is about hustle.

Start listening about 14 or 15 minutes into the show, to hear about creativity & innovation.

Are You feeling disappointment or resentment on an ongoing or repeated basis? If so, you may have expectations that are keeping you stuck & blocking your ability to have & do what you most desire.

Understand the powerful difference between restrictive expecting & expansive trusting -- and how shifting from targeted demanding to non-resistant receiving can open your life to new possibilities. Become more open as to how good things may come to you. Learn the art of graceful receiving.

Are you facing a solvable problem? Or are you in a dilemma, for which there is not a solution -- at least not at this time & within your control? Your power lies in knowing the difference.

Learn why we need to do all that we can to turn dilemmas into problems. And learn powerful practical approaches to solve your problems.

We have all heard the adage, "It's not what you know. It's who you know." But getting ahead -- to a satisfying place you truly want to be -- may be less of a question of who you know & more of a matter of who knows you.

There are times when traditional networking events & platforms can be fruitless & leave us feeling discouraged. Learn how to overcome pointless networking & choose to intentionally curate substantive & impactful one-on-one conversations. Become a creator of meaningful connections -- ones that can transform your life by opening your eyes & opening new doors for you.

Before venturing forth in a new endeavor -- whether changing your career, launching a business or making a major move in your personal life -- it is of crucial importance to consider your safety net. The "right" safety net will support your commitment to success as much as it protects you from hardship.

Learn about the different types of safety nets. Gain awareness of the dangers of the wire cage safety nets & the featherbed safety nets. Learn how to avoid the types of safety nets that hold you back & keep you stuck -- & how to construct a wise safety net that prudently & powerfully propels you forward.

The high achiever's "best foot forward" inevitably has an Achilles' heel. If you have noticed that your best qualities are also your greatest weaknesses, you are not alone.

Explore which of the "Painful P's" -- perfectionism, people-pleasing, overly-professionalism & overly-proactive -- are causing your burnout. Learn how to identify & manage your Trojan horse traits. Incorporate new tools & techniques to overcome overwhelm, so that your superpowers can, once again, serve you well.

What if you don't make a new year's resolution this year? Rather than, once again, pledging to drink less, exercise more or reach a long-desired goal, try switching your focus to who you want to be.

There are three components to every career. There's what we do, there's how we do it & there's where we do it. It is common to conflate two or more of the three. If you are unhappy in your job or confused as to what the next step in your career should be, you are feeling stuck.

Distinguishing the three different elements of your career could be your key to gaining new insights & breaking free. Learn how to apply this framework to expand your view & be better able to recognize new, desirable opportunities.
