113. Value Yourself In today’s episode, we are talking about valuing yourself. The internal belief that you know what you have to offer and standing up for it to anyone and everyone without apology. Every single day I meet with people who feel like they aren't enough. They have thoughts running through their heads that tell them other people are better, smarter and know more. They may recognize that these thoughts are happening, but they don't understand how these thoughts impact their behavior. This kind of thinking impacts everything that they do. They hold themselves back, play small and these thoughts prevent themselves from reaching their potential. This leads these individuals to undervalue themselves and the strengths that they have to offer.  In this episode: Challenging others in conversation isn’t something we were taught to do.Walking through an example of a person who took the advice of her manager instead of trusting herself.Some of the reasons why people don’t feel valued by others.Moving away from negative self-talk to see the value that you bring.Examples of some famous people who trusted themselves in times of difficulty.What to do to build more trust in yourself.The impact that visibility, self-trust and value in yourself can have on you.How a visibility impact assessment can help you.

111. What Are You Tolerating? On this episode we are talking about the things that you are tolerating, how it impacts your energy and your opportunities to do more in your career and life. To give you some context about what I mean, here are some examples of tolerations: things in your life or work environment that are irritating, people who don’t treat you right, and situations that frustrate you. What is a toleration, you ask?  These are the things that stress you out every day, but they haven’t caused you enough “pain” to make a change to them yet. Why is this important? They take your energy away, which can make you feel negative, irritated, skeptical or even angry. That prevents you from being your best self for you, your family, friends, and co-workers. People can feel those negative emotions from you. It can impact how others perceive you and impact opportunities for success. In this episode: Walked through an example of something very common that you might be tolerating.Reviewed examples of the different types of tolerations you may want to consider eliminating.What do you do when you are tolerating a bad manager or workplace?What does holding on to negative situations do to you?How can you let negativity go?Example of how taking things personally can break relationships.Choosing your response when things go wrong can make all the difference.What are you carrying around that you need to let go of?

I don’t say that to scare you, but to let you know that it is a foundational step towards being seen in a new way. In this episode: My story and the challenge it gave me to be uncomfortable.You can’t grow without being uncomfortable.What have you done that has been uncomfortable in your life?How did uncomfortable events in your life change you?When you feel resistance pay attention and see what is causing it for you.What do uncomfortable things teach us?Being uncomfortable is about having courage to help us be seen.

99. Nuances of Leadership Today’s episode is focused on the nuances of leadership. There are foundational concepts in leadership that you can learn in a class, but then there is the real-world application of leadership that you need to manage. Situations that don’t happen very often will occur. They can be extremely impactful and need to be addressed or have bigger ramifications. It takes courage and the ability to admit when you are wrong. It means you have to own what happens even if you personally had nothing to do with it, but you own the team, and a mistake was made. Visibility happens in good moments, but it can also be important to be visible in the best way during challenging moments too. In this episode: The foundational skills of leadership vs the reality.Leading a team seems straightforward at first...Internal vs external team members need to be led differently.Handling difficult situations when things don’t go well.Getting comfortable saying “I don’t know.”Taking a coaching approach with your team.Preparing your team for their next leadership opportunity.

98. Reframing Your Limiting Beliefs Today’s episode is focused on reframing the way that we think about limiting beliefs.  You most likely reframe your thoughts throughout your day without even realizing it. Reframing happens when someone shares a new perspective with you, shares some new information that you weren’t aware of or you learn something new on your own. Once you know this, you think differently, and you believe that limiting thought. Although it keeps you safe, you can’t be visible. You can’t have the career that you want…you stay stuck. In this episode: Using a simple example to describe how reframing can work.How our thoughts repeat the same things and based on limiting beliefs that can limit our progress.What limiting beliefs are and how to overcome them.The most common top 10 limiting beliefs that come from our fear.The role coaching plays in helping clients move past their limiting beliefs.How you can work on shifting your limiting beliefs for yourself.Reframing your negative self-talk and increasing your self-awareness.Leading others who have limiting beliefs to help them.

97. Unlocking Your Patterns Today’s episode is going to focus on patterns. As a coach, I am always keeping a watch out for clients who have patterns of behavior that are unconscious for them. Clients may do something at work and have no idea that they are doing that same thing at home. These patterns operate automatically until someone points it out or you realize that you are doing it. I wanted to dive in on this topic and bring it back to how it ties to visibility for you. In this episode: What is the difference between habits and patterns?What is the connection between habits, patterns and beliefs?Examples of behavioral patterns and where they can come from.Your brain is protecting you and keeping you safe.Self-awareness is the key to breaking your habits.Examples of workplace patterns that you may encounter.Interrupting your patterns to create a new set of beliefs and thoughts that serve you.Addressing a pattern in one way, doesn’t mean that it won’t show back up again in a different way.
