#womenspodcast #selfesteem #purpose #elegance #confidence #leadership #purposedrivenlife #conversations #womenempoweringwomen #fulfillment 

This week is loaded with a lot of Awesome Sauce!!! 
Lots and lots of valuable content around:
~ Defining Your Strengths, Skills, Values
~ Going beyond personality assessment labels
~ How to communicate the unique strengths and skills you bring to the table for your next job search, interview, or professional move
~ Aligning your goals with your values
~ The secret sauce to building your confidence
~ Executive Presence....and more.

In the guest chair this week, I have Gina Riley - a Human Resources professional who sits at the powerful convergence between Career Coaching, Executive Search, and Interview Skills Training. 

An authority in career transition, she is the creator of the Career Velocity™ System – a comprehensive solution that helps leaders and executives map out a transition strategy to last throughout their career.

Gina brings over 25 years of experience from small businesses to Fortune 50 companies and has a Master’s degree in Whole Systems Design. 

With experience speaking at Portland's first Disrupt HR forum and the 2019 Career Thought Leaders Symposium, Gina is sought after for her thought leadership in the areas of professional networking and career development.

As a certified YouMap® coach, Gina uses a rare strength combination of focus and action to customize her model for each client.

Gina’s unique approach helps leaders showcase themselves as a “Business Solution” and position themselves as authoritative problem solvers that accelerate career transition success.

With leadership clients that span coast to coast, her clients say she “connects familiar dots in new ways” and “pulls back the curtain” to share unseen processes and unheard conversations from an executive recruiter’s perspective.

You definitely want to take a listen and share what resonates with you the most in the comments :)

This week I had the pleasure of hosting Sonya Joy Mack, Medical Professional, CEO and Lead Life Coach of The LIVE JOY LIFE, and author of “This Changes Everything: When Death No Longer Has the Final Say."

For over a decade, fueled by the knowledge that God works all things together for good, she turned her burning desire to live her God-given dream into a published book, Certified Life Coach, and online business for busy mom's to live in the joy God intended.

Sonya believes we were meant to live a life of joy and the way to find that joy is by stepping into your God-given purpose.
Living your God-given dream isn’t easy. It takes work, a whole heap of the Holy Spirit, and making some tough choices. But with a little help and effort, the JOY that comes will be completely worth it.

I had the pleasure of hosting the Amazing Lynita Mitchell-Blackwell on this week's episode of the True Elegance Podcast.

Lynita realized that although successful, her accolades and achievements did not create lasting happiness. There had to be something more. 
She felt the call to create that something more, and she did just that. She filled the void which created a bridge that led to the "more".  It brought her sustainable peace, joy and fulfillment in her life.  And in this space of generosity she knew she had to share this with others:  the “5 Step Formula to the Ultimate Successful Life with Peace, Joy, and Fulfillment” which can be found in her book "Live Life on Fire".

“The #GreatResignation has made it clear that people want more out of life than to ‘...just be happy’.  They want to be fulfilled, and have peace and joy.  Joy comes from within, and that is the foundation of the Ultimate Successful Life.”  

Lynita Mitchell-Blackwell is the Intuitive Business Coach™ who leads her clients to Live Life on FIRE for the Ultimate Successful Life with peace, joy, and fulfillment! 

Lynita has built an award winning law firm and publishing house, is a #1 Bestselling Author, CPA, an ordained Minister, and recognized nationally as an outstanding community leader.
