Zoom - dang.  How many of us have a true love/hate relationship with Zoom (or Go-To Meetings, or Google Meet, or whatever else is out there)?  For realz, the pandemic put virtual meeting software front and center - it’s been a blessing and a curse, it’s been groundbreaking and frustrating.  And I’ve got news for y’all - Zoom is NOT going away.  

I’ve been completely blown away by how meaningful Zoom can be, but I also know that it’s really REALLY hard to be fully engaged at times because it’s basically a passive method of communication.  And I wouldn’t be the first person who’s turned off their video to work on other stuff.

So - this week’s show is dedicated to how you can be more engaged and present during Zoom meetings.  They are all easy tips that are fun to implement and you can, in some ways, even make a game of it.  Enjoy the episode!

I really loved talking to Johnny Guidry of Refractive Podcast and probably could have continued the conversation for hours on end.  Johnny is funny, smart, caring, genuine, and has a big heart. 

Johnny and I talk about his journey to becoming a coach and a podcaster right out of corporate America.  His story is really powerful and he is definitely an example of someone who realized he was not happy in his current day job and paved his own way.  You’ll love this interview!

This week, while preparing a new freebie, I got to thinking about what goes through everyone’s heads before they hire a coach.  I recall how I made MY decision.  It wasn’t easy...until it WAS.

The process that I describe in this episode is exactly what I went through before I hired my current business coach, Lindsay Maloney.  Hiring a coach is a BIG investment if you are going to do it right...and just like any big investment, you’ve got to do your homework.

I also think that there’s a certain amount of “universal interference,” LOL, when you are going through this process.  But I can honestly say that I discussed with myself all five of these considerations before finally taking the plunge.  And boy, am I glad that I did!

Every once in a while, I get to interview a previous staff member from my housing days and it’s just as much fun to connect with them in that way than to get to know the new Side Hustler Person.  Christina Armstrong is one of those people.  

If you are a person who struggles to say “NO” in Student Affairs work, then this is the episode for you.  And I was reminded of Christina’s conviction in being a well rounded professional as well.  She taught me a thing or two during our interview.

Christina is a results oriented Personal Productivity Coach who specializes in taking Student Affairs and Higher Education professionals from overwhelmed to overjoyed. Nobody knows the unique needs of a Higher Ed professional quite like a fellow Higher Ed professional. 

As a 10 year veteran, Christina knows the unique challenges of the field. What works for a live-in RD won't work for a Director of Student Activities! By combining the unique skills and talents of each person with the best tools and resources, Christina helps give stressed workers more control over their time, energy, and freedom!

You can connect with Christina on the ‘Gram @organizinghigher

At the beginning of this year I went on the quest to find the perfect planner!  Sure, there’s no such thing, but it was going to be a fun experiment and I wanted to get started.  Planners can certainly be very helpful in keeping our lives in order, setting goals and creating a checklist of tasks and projects to be completed.  And don’t forget the occasional affirmations or other motivational things.

The goal for 2021 was to try out four planners, one for each quarter, and then share my experience with you.  I started out with Goal Crazy.  A fabulous planner in Rose Gold that really helps set you up for success before your day begins and lets you reflect on the day when it ends.  

I thoroughly enjoyed my 90 days with Goal Crazy and this episode will give you all the deets.  ENJOY!

Speaking of enjoyment, have you visited my Freebie Vault lately?  There are a ton of free resources there, from time budgeting to preparing for your next job interview.  I cover it all!  CLICK HERE to pick up one, two, or all of them.
