The Coach's Corner

Many people write New Year’s resolutions with the hope that this year will be different. They set goals for themselves, only to find themselves writing the same goals again the following year. It can feel like a never-ending cycle of progress and regression. The problem is that there seems to be progress at the beginning, but then the bridge to cross to the promised land of achievements and goals is missing. What is that bridge?

The bridge is called discipline. Without discipline, it’s difficult to achieve our goals and see that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Discipline is the key to success. In this next episode, we’ll talk about why discipline is important and how to build it. This could be the difference between solving the reason you’re falling off that horse and how to get back on it and stay there. Remember, discipline is the bridge that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Happy New Year Coach's Corner Fan! Although 2023 has now come and gone, I’m still in the spirit of giving or in this case—regifting. 

For this holiday episode, I’ll be taking you back to memory lane of this year with interviews I had this year with Taje McIntosh on moving through change and Jeff Harnois on knowing who you are. Taje provides executive leadership for Pearl Operational Design and RenewIQ Consulting and is an expert on change management. Jeff Harnois is the CEO of iBridged and is an expert on personality assessment. 

Talking about change and our personality I feel is a good way to help us get ready for the new year. Join me for this episode as we wrap up 2023 to start the new year. Happy New Year...Cheers.

During this time of year, we can sometimes feel very much invisible. All the work we put in to help others is not always given its just due. We’re passed over or ignored. We’re not recognized for our talent or worth. We’re not noticed for our simple humanity.

The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, and one of the reasons is the feeling that no one sees them. No one acknowledges them. No one recognizes them. It can be a horrible feeling when we should feel seen the most.

In this next podcast, we’re going to talk about how to see each other, how to recognize each other, and how to make sure that everyone feels seen

During the pandemic, we were forced to find a new normal on how to do life. Making our home our new office caused that shift. For the first time for many, work, and life blended together. Some enjoyed it and have kept it after the pandemic. Others have said no way and prefer to keep the two separate. Many in both groups are still struggling to find that sweet spot where they feel they have hold of their life and not being tossed to and fro by work and life.

As the holidays are now here, the pace of work-life will increase. We work faster to get to the holidays. And when we get to the holidays, we move faster to get to the end of the holidays. Finally, we need a holiday from the holidays before we get back to work. How do we pace ourselves? Is there an approach to stay grounded in the midst of our ever-increasing busy world? Is there a work-life approach?

Join me in this podcast to understand different work-life approaches. This podcast may be the thing you’re looking for to lower your blood pressure and increase your joy in your daily living especially during this stressful time of the holidays.

In a world filled with challenges and crises, our collective wellness faces a daunting test. The relentless exposure to negative news often leaves us emotionally adrift—caught in a whirlwind of sadness, frustration, and anger. With each passing day, hope seems to slip away.

But amidst this storm, psychologists help us identify a lifeline that we easily overlook: gratitude. It’s a simple yet profound remedy—one that can elevate our spirits and reshape our outlook. Not only feeling grateful but also expressing it to others can work wonders.

As we approach this special time of year, let’s allow it to rekindle our sense of gratitude and thanksgiving. Join me on this podcast as we explore the transformative power of embracing gratitude and expressing it to our loved ones. Together, we’ll discover how a small act of appreciation can ripple through our lives and others, bringing warmth and connection.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Who am I?” Or has someone else asked you, “Who are you really?” Many people are pondering this question, and some are struggling to answer this fundamental question of their existence. It’s a question that begs the person asking, “Do I really understand myself?” Sometimes we do, but many times we don’t, and we need help to discover who we are.

Think about the opportunities lost, conflicts created, and relationships that fell apart all because we didn’t take the time to “know thyself.” This is crucial to being the best person we can be at home, on the job, or in the office. Yet we don’t take courses at school or get provided with a textbook of ourselves to help us with this lifetime subject.

In our next podcast, we’re going to explore how to better understand who we are. I have Jeff Harnois as our coach in this corner, who will be bringing his expertise to this topic and show us the tools out there for this discovery. Let’s check it out.

In these polarizing times, corporate leaders, especially executives, are expected to navigate tough conversations where they must be truthful, integral, compassionate, and wise all at once. It’s not an easy tension, and leaders are showing how much coaching they need to balance the forces in this four-point shape. They must figure out how they can create a space of understanding where their staff may not all agree but can agree to disagree agreeably.

It is critical for leaders to create this space. It is also critical for leaders to have this skill. Otherwise, workplace incivility will take over workplace productivity. As a leader, you can learn how to create a space where courageous conversations can happen without being perceived as taking polarizing sides. Join me to know how in 7 key steps.

When was the last time you celebrated the process of change? Feeling the rhythm and joys of change is not something most people think about. Many times, moving through change brings frustration, impatience, and stress. People often curse the change taking place. But what if we embraced change? What if we had a mindset that sees change as an opportunity to thrive, not just survive? Where would it take us? Where would it take you in your career and life?

This mindset can help you navigate through the discomfort of unfamiliar situations and help you grow in your career and life. In fact, one of the most common unconscious mindsets is that “change is temporary; this will pass” but when you see something as temporary, you tend to cope with it instead of accepting and embracing it. The reality is that change is a constant, and you’ll need to navigate it.

In this podcast, we’re going to explore how to embrace moving through change with peace and joy. I have in my corner as coach, Tajé McIntosh, who will be bringing her expertise to this topic.

Many people suffer from the pain of regret, which may be more intense than the pain of failure. Regret leaves us wondering what could have been, while failure gives us a clear answer. We can move on from failure, but not from regret. The ghost of regret haunts many of us as we march toward the end of our lives. It whispers to us: “If only you had more courage, if only you took some risks, things would be different now.” But we can’t change the past, we can only shape the future. And to do that, we need to have guts and take the right risks.

That’s what this podcast is about: No Guts No Glory – The Courageous Art of Making the Right Risks. We will explore the opportunities that we miss because of fear, and how we can build artful skills to overcome it. We will learn how to find the guts to pursue our purpose and achieve our goals. We will discover the glory of shining our light in this world. Join us as we talk about finding guts to experience glory in our lives.
