E132 Sarah Wolfer; Founder Girl Boss Sports

36m · Published 24 Aug 20:00

Did you know that 96% of C suite execs across the US played sport in their teenage years!?!􏰖􏰗􏰂􏰇 􏰘􏰆􏰙􏰙 􏰀􏰚􏰆􏰂􏰛􏰙􏰪

Sarah Wolfer is the Founder and CEO of Girl Boss Sports, a Seattle based start-up.

She is working toward two very important goals:

1) Keeping girls in sports and

2) Increasing the number of women sports coaches.

Sarah has been a soccer player and coach for most of her life including playing at the semi-professional level and coaching at the collegiate level.

She consistently found that there was a lack of female representation and equity across all aspects of sports and she decided to do something about it in 2018 when she started Girl Boss Sports.

In this episode she talks about what it is about participating in sport that translates into business leadership and much more.

This is one of the In between episodes and today I consider the questions: Are we our own algorithm?

I'd been thinking about the Jim Rohn quote about the 5 people we spend most time with and especially as this applies to the way I'm living at the moment. 

Do I have 5 people?

Who are my 5 people?

Our minds are amazing and the more we learn about how the mind works, the more convinced I am that we can be who we want to be and we can do anything we want to do …

Have a listen and please let me know what you think. I'd love to know

E129 Are affirmations working for you?

13m · Published 04 Aug 07:56

This is an in-between episodes. In between the Interviews!

Today I talk about affirmations, what they mean to me, how I use them and why I believe they are more than just "believe it and you will see it"

I first became aware of affirmations when I was in high school and they have remained part of my life since then.

Repeating positive affirmations and expecting things to change doesn't work. This is because it targets the conscious level of your mind - not the unconscious.

Affirmations need to be supported by action – they don’t work on their own

Recently I gave my Thrive coaching group an activity to highlight their unique gifts. They all said it is a terrific reminder of just how much they have achieved!  

In this epidote I share this same activity for you to use for yourself and this is your CTA from this episode.

Please do let me know how it goes

I share some of my personal favourites

I'd love to hear how you use affirmations. Let me know on [email protected] or leave me a comment wherever you listen to this podcast.

I mention the Oprah series and you can find week 1 over on Youtube:

Enjoy!!

 

E128 Andrea Uvannj - Consulting for Growth

40m · Published 27 Jul 20:00

It’s been quite a journey for Andrea Uvanni and we are fortunate that she shares some of her experience with us here in this episode.

If you are in an environment where you are the only one like you and everyone questions your skills and abilities – take heart from Andrea’s story

It has taken the past 10 years for her to find her way, to become someone whom her peers no longer question, and in fact accept her knowledge, and even seek her opinion. 10 long years.

This is partly because she has gained a tremendous amount of knowledge over the past 10 years – and it is also due to the number of hurdles overcome, the discriminations fought through and biases proven wrong.

Sound familiar?

Andrea speaks passionately about building her own consulting business. She is smart, persistent and extremely passionate about the work she does with her clients

In this interview she talks about her approach to goal setting and planning

She speaks about dealing with rejection and how not to take it personally

If you have your notebook ready and work along with Andrea in this interview it will almost feel like having your own private session.
