The Lisa Pezik Show

We may be physically distanced but we’re not socially disconnected.

In my latest episode I break down the “To-Do’s” that are serving my business and life, and the ones that are sabotaging it.

The pandemic gave me the gift of change, the gift of time, the gift to take a hard look at my structure, routines, ego, and beliefs about how our business should run.

See how you business lands and what changes you need to make to run more efficiently and create more value in the world.

A common question that I received as a business strategist when the pandemic hit was, “Should I lower my prices? Should I offer pandemic pricing?”

NO!

In this podcast I explain why, and what to do instead.

This week, Jenny D’Agostino and her 20-year-old daughter, Taylor, joined me on the podcast.

Taylor fell off a horse when she was 16 and is paralyzed from the chest down. Riding horses is what Taylor knew and still loves to do, as she’s still riding as part of her therapy.

Taylor’s attitude about what happened to her and her life is inspiring. Jenny, not only is her mom, but also in this experience took on a protective role in terms of energy to keep their hope alive.

Taylor shares the following:

1.   How to have no more than a 3-day limit for a “bad day streak.”

2.   How her mom advocated her when she almost lost her hand in the hospital.

3.   How she let go of the labels when she was told that she’d never walk again.

4.   How statistics don’t define you.

5.   What to do when you see someone with a disability or someone who is different from you (instead of staring!).

Copy and content that’s clear...sells. So, how do you get there?

Before you launch anything, ask yourself these questions:

1.   What does it look like?

2.   What is the literal outcome?

3.   What do you love about it?

This is leadership like I’ve never heard it before. If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, CEO, boss, you'll want to LISTEN IN!

You may have heard the term “servant leader,” but have you ever thought, “what does that look like?”

From serving the nation in the Army to serving communities and teams, Lawrence Henderson knows about organizational development.

Lawrence talks about flipping the pyramid of leadership as we dive into:

1.   Championing people requires presence

2.   The vigilance of doing it “our way” vs. “my way”

3.   Why networking is digital and transactional and connecting is listening for depth

4.   How to stop micro-managing and ask about impact

5.   Why “fake it until you make it" never works and a win/win agreement aligns teams

6.   How to gain clarity around your team and how to be generous in your knowledge.

2.   How to be authentic and get real conversations booked on the calendar

When the pain overrides the fear, it’s time to make a change. That’s exactly what Donna Brown did, with her feet over the edge of a cliff, and her family encouraging her to jump into the water. Donna jumped, and when she came up from the water, she had her power. She let go of decades of thinking that she wasn’t smart, and now – as a Reiki Master, Crystal Healer, Speaker, 2x Best Selling Author, and Coach – she helps others find joy by finding their purpose.
