Join the Journey

Do you pride yourself on your ability to multi-task?  Do you love having 10 balls in the air at once?  Did you realize this is literally a type of addiction for our brains?  I am a recovering mult-tasker... and trust me... I have significant work to do.  In this episode I share the detriments of multi-tasking and provide you with 4 simple suggestions to help you in your journey so that you can improve the quality of your presence.

In today's mini episode, I share a reminder about the importance of making your life a masterpiece.  You are a masterpiece creating a masterpiece.  As profound as that concept is, there is also a simplicity of just relishing the journey along the way.  What are you creating this week with your masterpiece?  I would love to hear about it at [email protected] or click on the like button on the Join the Journey Facebook page @jointhejourneypodcast.

In today's episode I rant briefly about a common scenario I run into working with companies from an HR standpoint.  Too often I might receive a call where a leader hasn't done their job along the way but they are fed up with their employee and want them gone.  When asked about what documentation they have in place they will inevitably ask or comment... "wait... isn't this an at-will state?"  Hear what I have to say about this and what I think is simply a lazy leader.

In this quick episode, I talk about how what seems to be the impossible is simply the untried. In my recent readings on Steve Jobs, I learn about his Reality Distortion Field and how he pushed people to do the impossible.  You don't have to be a Steve Jobs to be a visionary and hold space for a dream.  Our mindset can make or break our success and belief in the impossible.    I’d love to hear how you are pursuing your dream.  You can email me at [email protected]. 

In this quick episode I talk about the importance of showing up.  There will be times when you feel like you have nothing to offer, nothing to give but regardless, you have to still show up and do the work.  Inspiration will have its day but don't let your lack thereof side track you from your dreams.

There is a great freedom that each of us has and it is easily forgotten.  Tune into this quick episode to hear all about it.

It’s not uncommon to hear that “Leaders are born, not made,” but the good news is this is simply not accurate. Leadership is a process of influence. It can be taught and honed like other important skills.  In today's episode I talk about several leadership concepts and leadership myths that are referenced in John C. Maxwell's book, The 360 Leader.  

Has your week ever taken a sucker punch?  How did you manage through it?  My week definitely took a sucker punch and I found that I needed to actively manage my emotions in order to not end up in the fetal position under my desk.  In this episode I share with you a new little technique I used to get things turned around.  I  would love to hear your turnarounds.  Email me at [email protected].
