    293. Jess Dennis on Life After Alcohol and 200+ Days of Being Alcohol Free

    293. Jess Dennis on Life After Alcohol and 200+ Days of Being Alcohol Free

    This is a real conversation about life with, and without, alcohol. Alcohol can be such a habit in our lives, that we don’t even THINK about it.  In this conversation, I’m talking with my friend, Jess Dennis, who is 200+ days alcohol free. She’s so easy to talk to and gives such great insights and real talk around this topic…. A topic that isn’t talked about very often, but is coming more and more to light with the sober curious movement.

    Jess is a mom to three girls (13, 11 & 3) and a wife to her high school sweetheart of 15 years. She's been an entrepreneur for the past 15 years as well, running companies from direct sales to bricks n mortar franchises. She views businesses as creative endeavors and loves bringing a concept to market and then helping it grow into a fully operational, successful business. In 2019 she wrote a book called: The Balanced Entrepreneur which highlights the life lessons she's learned through entrepreneurship. Her latest passion project is around the sober curious movement with a newsletter called "Life After Alcohol". This newsletter chronicles her own journey to stop drinking and offers honest, real talk about what it's like to question the role alcohol plays in our lives and imagine a life on the other side.

    286. Negotiation for Everyday, with Susie Tomenchok

    286. Negotiation for Everyday, with Susie Tomenchok

    How can you use negotiation to create the conditions to get more of what you want?

    In this episode with Susie Tomenchok we talk about:

    -Being intentional about using negotiation in your day to day and the strategy around it

    -Practical techniques to start honing your negotiation skills

    -Being prepared to go into any conversation and the types of questions you should be asking 

    -Being clear on the outcomes you want in order to better influence your results 

    -A new way to look at the word ‘No’...

     

    Susie Tomenchok is an entrepreneur, author, and executive coach helping her clients unleash their inner negotiators.

    Before discovering her passion for executive coaching, Susie held a range of senior positions in the Telecommunications industry in a career that spanned over 20 years.

    While working at Comcast, Susie honed her negotiation skills by overseeing a client portfolio valued at over $80M annually.

    Susie worked with and closed deals for some of the biggest names in corporate America, including ESPN/Disney, Boeing, Gallup, Discovery, Viacom, NBC, and A&E.

    Susie's talent for coaching and passing on her skills became apparent after she realized her three daughters were using her own negotiation tactics against her to get what they wanted. She'd clearly taught them too well. This was the sign she needed to leave her corporate life and embark on a new career as a consultant and executive coach.

    Susie now works with startups, large organizations, and individuals, helping her clients discover their negotiation superpowers, advocate for themselves, and stop being the path of least resistance.

    She even found time to write her first book, The Art of Everyday Negotiation without Manipulation, and now enjoys watching her (now grown) daughters blaze their own trail.

    284. Finding Your Unique Brilliance

    Your unique brilliance is what comes out when you're in your zone. Your energy is different. You can feel the difference physically in your body. You literally come to life. Pay attention to that. AND THEN don’t under value that. Your zone is not someone else’s zone. Put those gifts to work and maximize how you use them! And in business, you can charge for the outcomes you know you can deliver, all while using your unique brilliance to uniquely position yourself in your industry.

    281. For When You're Feeling Stuck...

    Sometimes there's just no better way to describe it than 'stuck'...

    There can be simple shifts, sometimes big ones, and probably a combination. And sometimes a good start is realizing what you’re doing is because it’s just what you’ve always done…that you might have to make some changes. And change is uncomfortable. What happens if you don’t make a change? Can you live with the result of that a year from now? Two years from now? Let's chat :)

    278. Your Sales Plan for the Year

    278. Your Sales Plan for the Year

    In the midst of all the goals and planning for the year, quarter, and months ahead - where does your sales plan fit into that? Have you thought about it? And HOW have you thought about it?

    I want to talk through that in this episode. I’ve been in sales a long time, I’ve done planning so many different ways over the years, and as I’ve grown, as my sales have grown, I can reflect on what has worked for ME the best when it comes to sales planning. This isn’t me telling you what you need to do - rather the purpose of this episode is to offer different ways to think about sales planning, and give a perspective or two that maybe you haven't thought of yet.

    276. Real Talk [Replay]: Trust the Timing - You are Right Where You Need to Be

    I'm all about going for it…. Leaving comfort for what’s on the other side. So often we don't FEEL ready and therefore you have to start BEFORE you’re 'ready', when you feel excited and called to something…

    AND, I believe in timing and being intentional and cognizant of that. I believe in divine timing that sometimes just doesn't even make sense in the moment...until you look back and are in awe of how things played out.

    This is a short and sweet real talk to remind you that you're not behind. Right now is part of the story. It's a moment in time, preapring you for what's next...
