Work Your Worth

It is a FREE FALL. It is the most transparent podcast YET. No script, no plan. Just a total off the cuff episode about what we have been up to since the podcast launched.

In this episode we got to chat with the amazing and inspiring Maria Atkinson. Maria is the founder of Japer House Haiti. Jasper House Haiti is a non-profit organization, which offers a transitional restoration home, education, therapy and job training to young women in Haiti who have left lives of prostitution, exploitation and abuse.

We achieve this through holistic care that treats the whole person with programs that enhance the mind, body and soul. Our vision is to help young women realize their ability to rise above opposition and defeat, to be champions of change within their homes, communities and nation.

"When you educate a girl, you can change the world" -Maria

Today we are here to talk about something that you’ve heard us mention briefly in our previous podcasts and that is our WHY’s.

Every single person has a why. However, many people have yet to uncover it. According to Simon Sinek (who you may know from his incredible Ted Talk on this subject) Your why is the reason you get up in the morning - the purpose, cause, or belief that inspires you to do what you do. Knowing your why as a business owner is extremely important because as Simon puts it, “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”

1. Identify the roles that you have played and currently play in your life.

2. Identify how you went about fulfilling your duty in those roles when you were at your best.

3. Dig deeper -Study your past:

4. Pay attention to your emotions

5. Write down what you need to do for yourself in order to live the life you long for.

6. Look for patterns: while studying your past and evaluating your emotions, what patterns are you noticing?

7. Summariz

OUR FAVORITE F WORDS!

Today we are talking about failing forward.

We’ve all failed at something whether we want to admit it or not. Failure hurts and can feel demoralizing.

Here are some steps you can take in the future to help you fail forward:

1. Be honest with yourself - Admit where you dropped the ball. Complete a self audit.

2. Assess your situation - make a list of pro’s and con’s regarding your circumstance

3. Take those pros and put them into action

4. Write down each mistake you made, what you learned from making those mistakes, and how you would handle that situation in the future

5. Journal what you learned

6.Evolve

We know that goals are a super hot topic. It is something that tends to be emphasized at the beginning of the year and then we all tend to fall off because we never learned how to set goals.

No matter your role, we have to emphasize again how important you are and how much you have to bring to the table. Goal setting is something everyone should take ownership of. Our hope is that you will feel empowered to utilize the tools we have provided and apply to your own goal setting. To help you, examples of the 1-3-5 and our goal setting agenda will be uploaded on our resources page. So head over to workyourworth.co and get to it.

Keys to a good goal:

S--specific

M-- measurable

A-- attainable

R--relevant

T-- timely

1-3-5:

One goal

Three Priorities

Five Strategies

Welcome to the Work Your Worth Podcast with Brigid Kupfersmith & Mary Siems. Together we are creating a community for women that pushes them to utilize their strengths, understand their value, and feel compelled to share it. We have transparent conversations about what it means to uncover your value and utilize it to the highest level.

MARY: To work your worth means fully embracing who you are-- your unique gifts, talents, and abilities and utilizing those to move you forward professionally and personally. What is it that makes you different? What is it that makes you you? Through self awareness we learn about ourselves and leverage that as our greatest asset.

BRIGID: To understand your value and learn how to use it in every area of your life.
