Do some people just seem lucky… or are they simply saying YES more often?

In this St. Patrick’s Day-inspired episode of The YES Show, Christine challenges the idea that luck is something we’re born with. Instead, she reveals how mindset, awareness, and intentional action can dramatically expand the opportunities that come our way.
From the way our brain filters information to how we show up in networking rooms, Christine explains why some people consistently stumble into opportunity while others miss it completely.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:🍍 Your brain is constantly filtering reality
 🍍 Luck grows when you increase your exposure
 🍍 Your energy determines what you notice
 🍍 How you show up changes everything
 Action Steps You Can Take Today
 ✅ Train your brain to look for opportunity
 ✅ Increase your opportunity surface area
 ✅ Follow up like a Pineapple

What does it really mean to hold your own in today’s workplace?
In this episode of The YES! Show, Christine sits down with executive coach, former Expedia C-suite leader, and author Melissa Maher to unpack the real meaning of executive presence and how leaders can confidently speak up without pretending to be someone they’re not.
Melissa shares lessons from decades in hospitality leadership, her journey from nervous young leader to confident executive, and the practical tools that help professionals communicate with clarity, influence decisions, and show up powerfully in high-stakes moments.
This episode is about finding your voice, trusting your value, and leading with clarity instead of perfection.

🎓 What You’ll Learn

• How executive presence is built through clarity, not personality changes
• Why do many high performers struggle to speak up after promotions
• Simple physical and communication techniques that instantly increase confidence
• How mindset and self-talk influence leadership impact more than skill alone

✅ Action Items

1. Lead with the headline
   Start conversations or presentations with your main point first, not the background story.
2. Practice clarity over volume
   Use fewer words and slow your delivery to increase trust and authority.
3. Prepare your “core message” before meetings
   Write down your key idea and desired outcome, so you show up ready to contribute.

You set the goal.
You blocked the time.
You scheduled the reminder.
And then… You hit ignore.
Why do we sabotage the very success we say we want?
In this powerful short episode, Christine breaks down the real reason we ignore our goals, and it’s not laziness. It’s not discipline. It’s not time management.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn three science-backed strategies to help you follow through, build self-respect, and become the kind of leader who keeps promises to yourself.
Because leadership doesn’t happen when you feel like it.
It happens when you do it anyway.

🎓 What You’ll Learn

• Why your feelings about the task overpower your commitment to the outcome
• How visualizing the “win” rewires your brain toward action
• The four levels of commitment and why only one actually creates results
• How shrinking the task builds momentum and long-term self-respect
  

1. Rewrite one goal using “I will” language and tie it to your identity.
2. Shrink one overwhelming task into a 10-minute version and start today.
3. Change one calendar reminder to reflect your future win, not the task.
