019 - Say Yes

We all know that person that probably should learn how to say no to things because they have a lot going on.  But what about the people that say yes, say yes to what? Say yes to opportunity! If you want to meet people you've never met before, find yourself in places you've never been before and experiencing next level things, you may need to start saying yes more. In this episode I want to unpack why saying yes could be what you need to propel you to being a better leader, expanding your influence and building your business. Let's learn when to say yes and what to say yes to.

018 - Grow As You Go

Something that is often misunderstood is that growth is not a destination, growth is a journey.  Growth also doesn't happen by accident but by being intentional.  On this episode we narrow in on why leadership is more than a position, making sure you are not the reason your organization is capped, and why growing as a leader is essential.

017 - Lead from Authenticity with Taya Alexander

One of the greatest ways to learn something new and become a great leader is by doing, and also by starting out small and working your way up.  Let's also not forget that when leaders volunteer and give of themselves they open up the door to not only impact others but to impact themselves. On this episode join me and my guest Taya Alexander as she invites us into the world of the Mom Co. and her involvement as a volunteer of almost 20 years. This amazing conversation took us into talking about the importance of authenticity, leadership development, and the power of the volunteer.  Taya has no ordinary leadership story, starting out as the "birthday girl" and now leading Canada as the Global Ministry Developer.

016 - The Power of No

What does no meant to you?  What if no doesn't have to be connected to failure, but connected to opportunity. In this episode we are not talking about saying no to things, but how you react to no's. It's not about if you will get no's, its about when will you get no's. How you embrace the power of no will be the springboard to your success.

011 - Artist Jared Robinson On Living The Creative Life

Do you consider yourself creative? Have you ever wondered if you are undervaluing your creativity?  What if creativity shows itself in different ways in your life? Creativity has a way to bring the best out of people, inspire, bring together, and bring to life the imagination. My guest this week not only exemplifies these attributes, but will inspire you to unleash the creative in you.
Jared Robinson is an artist, painter, illustrator, author, dad, thinker, doer, and life appreciator. He enjoys music for two reasons: One - for it's jingle and Two - for the words and meaning it conveys. It is a bonus when he finds a song that gives him both of these. Similar to music, he tries to bring across both aesthetic presence and significance in his art.
In this episode our conversation takes us through Jared's story of inspiration, creating, and building community.  We learn the importance of embracing the different seasons in our lives, having grace on ourselves, and the art of being serious and funny.
