135 What is a CEO Power Hour with Donna Dube

20m · Connect Inspire Create · 07 Nov 11:00

In today’s episode our focus is on "doing less, better." My guest, Donna Dube understands that success isn't solely dependent on piling up tasks and responsibilities; it's about identifying what truly matters and channeling energy into those areas for maximum impact, evolving as an entrepreneur from overwhelmed to empowered.

Donna helps business owners go from solopreneur to confident CEO without sacrificing their life, health or relationships.

Topics we discuss include:

  • Discovering how to cut back on spending too much time working "in" your business rather than "on" it.
  • Consider how to identify tasks you delegate and which ones to retain for yourself.
  • Key habits that successful CEOs incorporate into their weekly routines.
  • Creating a weekly roadmap that aligns with long-term business goals.
  • What is a CEO power hour!

"So the weekly roadmap starts with what I call the CEO Power Hour, which is a name I gave for basically a CEO date. So if you think about big corporations, that CEO is meeting with the board or meeting with the VP of Sales and Marketing and the different departments to get a handle on what is happening in the business, we need to do the same even though we don't have all those VPS. So we're meeting with ourself. And it's a time each week, one hour set aside on your calendar, recurring at the same time every week. So whether that's a Monday morning for you, or a Friday afternoon, or Sunday evening, whatever that looks like, but have it at the same time every week. And it's non negotiable, meaning you don't book anything else at that time. It's like a meeting that you have to attend, right. And during that hour, you spend time reviewing and reflecting what's happening in your business now, where is it going? And what are your going to be your top three priorities for this next week. And then, after that, a little bit of self care and support. So what do you need as business owner, either from home or from your team to help you will be successful this week?"

141 Exploring Curiosity: Connecting with Clients on a Deeper Level with Angie Alexander

In today’s episode our focus is on helping leaders and shaping organizational strategies with coaching.

I am joined by my guest Angie Alexander, a Professional Engineer, Leadership & Team Effectiveness Consultant, Speaker and a Certified Mental Fitness Coach.

After over 20 years in the oil and gas industry in Alberta, she realized that her technical background combined with her people-oriented approach to working with leaders and their teams was her superpower! She loves nothing more than to support, encourage, lift up and help people be their best professional selves!

She is an empathetic coach and facilitator who loves to support technical professionals, leaders and teams work better together. She has skills in leadership development, mental fitness coaching, organizational effectiveness, facilitation, process design & improvement, change management and project management. She possesses a passion for bringing teams together to work more effectively, make better decisions, be more innovative and think more strategically.

Angie shares what has contributed to her success as a coach:

  • Innate curiosity about people
  • Effective communication skills
  • Humility and willingness to learn

She believes that coaching should not be seen as a remedy solely for underperformers or just for top executives. Angie sees her role as helping people understand that anyone can benefit from coaching. Her engineering background gives her credibility, especially when discussing complex concepts like rewiring neural pathways, which helps in establishing initial trust with clients.

We chat about dealing with the Judge Voice and the accomplice saboteurs, along with their impact on your mental fitness.

Your internal "judge" frequently undermines your confidence, telling you that you're not smart or successful enough and this voice can be quite loud.
