Today’s guest is Eunice Martel. Eunice is a life coach who recently tackled her huge goal of running a marathon during the pandemic. In today's episode, I sit down with Eunice as she shares her thought process in attacking the goal  and the obstacles that came up along the way. She also gives tips on how we can go about goal setting in this new year.

Eunice provided great takeaways for each of us. Having a support or “cheering squad”, whether it's friends or family or a coach is so key. Eunice talked about necessary mindset shifts she made-changing the distance units helped it seem less daunting, or envisioning yourself having accomplished that goal builds confidence. And finally, she shares that ultimately our goal is a destination and there are many paths to get there so allowing yourself flexibility is essential.

Today's guest is Joyce Johnson. Joyce is an Author, Speaker, Sales Influencer, Business Coach and Founder of Why Sales Network. In today's episode Joyce talks about her career in sales and media, the challenges and -isms faces as a woman of color in business,  the benefits of mentorship.  We also discussed the journey she took in writing about business to pivoting to telling her own story.

Joyce's skill and talent in telling stories truly came in handy as she unpacked her negative experiences in her professional career. So many people experience those -isms as she called them. Whether in corporate life or other areas of work. She knew her worth and pivoted once again to a path that allowed and embraced her full self. Chronicling these stories surely helps her as a mentor and a coach.
