abundant living

Living Abundantly (Ep 89) In this episode we interview Lynn Harris, lifestyle influencer of Abundance Fitness.  "Wholeness is a divine promise to whosoever will receive it." These are Lynn's powerful words.  Thus it's Lynn's total life's mission to proclaim  abundance of the magnificent body!  Her husband bought her a Wii years ago and it changed her life.  She was always fatigued and the doctor told her she was 35 pounds obese.  She became a Zumba instructor and  developed an organization called Beautiful from the Inside Out.  This work with the community and youth actually deterred two suicides.

Now she wants to help you. Listen in as she gives you some advisable tips.  She offers 4 pillars for us to stand on to gain abundant living:
1. sleep - 7-8 hours at a minimum she tells about how she adores Labron James for his ideology on sleep. 
2. maximize stress - she advices us to learn how to operate the minute stress
3. nutrition - eat quality foods that are considered slow foods
4. fitness - move at least 3-4x per week for 45 minutes

Do you believe that even though there will be challenges and obstacles you'll have to overcome, you will ultimately be successful? Or are you of the mindset that you hope things will go well but you tend to be inconsistent and possibly self-sabotage? You mean well and have a lot of energy when you start but somewhere along the way you lose steam or get discouraged and that leaves you feeling stuck. If that's you, this episode may be the opportunity you've needed to refocus. As always, I share stories of clients who have walked your path once they became willing to fully show up and to be consistent. As Larry the Cable Guy always says, get 'er done!

Which camp do you typically hang out in - camp scarcity or camp abundance? I called my business Abundant Living because I inherently believe in the principle of abundance. In this episode I talk about how I  believe there is enough for everyone and share examples of leaders who reached out to colleagues and competitors alike and asked them to join forces for everyone's benefit. If you tend to slide into thinking it's detrimental to collaborate with others for fear it will result in less for you or your business, I'm encouraging you to give this episode a listen. You just might walk away with a whole different perspective!

Have you ever found yourself in the situation where someone comes to you for help and their version of help is putting their problem in your lap with the expectation you'll now take care of it for them? Well, I've been there - more than once - and learned how to apply a simple technique called the PAR Principle to keep the accountability in their court. Have a listen and learn how this can completely change the way you handle these situations in the future; and how you get to play a key role in helping to build the other person's skills and confidence!

As a follow-up to episode #9, this episode comes back to the topic of setting clear and strong boundaries. Starting with how to know the warning signs when someone is crossing or pushing a boundary, I offer a 4-part formula for dealing with boundary crossers as well as a strategy for having a compassionate conversation with boundary pushers. This is another opportunity to build your skills as a candid and compassionate communicator as well as supporting you in your efforts to cultivate a healthy workplace.

I know...you're wondering what in the heck is "opening your donut" and what does that have to do with compassion resilience? With so many people experiencing fatigue from their jobs and businesses, and trying to avoid total burn-out, there has never been a more critical time to build compassion resilience muscles than now. In this podcast, I talk about this notion of compassion fatigue and share one of the strategies I've cultivated to support my own need for building more compassion resilience as a gift to myself as well as to those I care about.

Do you hunger to be a better communicator, especially with the employees who report directly to you? Drawing from my 35+ years of teaching and working one-on-one with individuals to help them develop and strengthen their interpersonal skills, I've heard the stories of how leaders struggle with giving thoughtful feedback, of providing instructions where the outcome is what they expected, of setting boundaries, of knowing how to ask for what they want, of working to strike the balance between doing what was best for the business and being fair to employee requests, of learning to say “no”, and so much more. In this episode, I begin the process of looking at where you need to start as I take you behind the scenes with Zoe and share how she transformed the way her employees and she communicated in their workplace. 

Do you remember those days when you first started your business and you wished you had someone to talk to, to answer a question, to seek guidance from? Or maybe that's you right now! This episode is an homage to the importance of your role in this village of business owners and provides ideas on how you can get the help you need and be a  champion for a fellow person in business. And if you've never heard of the importance of the 6 Handshakes Rule, have a listen!

This episode is dedicated to the women (although it doesn't exclude the men) who feel out of balance. It's one of the top reasons people come to me for life coaching and it seeps into practically every business coaching session I do with clients. Sharing the journey of a number of my clients, I walk you through the steps I recommend to get started on this path to living a balanced life.  I've also included a list of simple and effective strategies you can implement right away so let's get started!

Is this you? You share with someone an idea you’re playing around with and all of a sudden you’re feeling the pressure to act on it because people keep asking you what’s happening? So you stop talking about it? And exploring it? Join me for this episode where I take you through the journey of two clients and show you how their choice to invest in a specific period of time to explore all the possibilities led to the best decision for them in the end. Listen here and learn how to make better choices for those dreams you want to bring into reality!

Melissa is a CGA-CPA with the federal government and has also been a long-time business owner with her company Melissa Kew Photography. Three months ago I did a video interview with her. At the time, we had just begun to live with the realities of businesses shutting job, people being laid off from work, compassionate leaders having to lay people off, business owners trying to figure out how to work remotely with their teams, and people feeling unsure and afraid about the future. Our video interview turned out to  be one of the most watched videos I’ve done to date.

 Well, it’s been over three months and we have shifted into what I call the "next normal". With many businesses re-opening and with people trying to make decisions about returning to work and planning for what is ahead, it was time to bring Melissa Kew back for a follow-up. With her down-to-earth, pragmatic and sensible advice, here’s our conversation.

Why are some people able to make incredible things happen in their lives? Why are there those who are born under a lucky star, who get all the breaks, and who seem to have life handed to them on a silver platter? The answer is rooted in the words of Stephen Vizinczey who said, “You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.” How do you do that? In today's episode, you'll learn how starting with understanding the power of intention and using your intentions as the steering wheel, you can upscale your personal and professional life.

How many of you have important dreams that you keep to yourself either because your self-talk means you don't have the confidence to share them with anyone or because history has taught you that they'll just get squashed? If that's you, you need to listen to this episode of The Compassionate Leader School Podcast. Learn why it's important to give your dreams a voice and how to go out building an abundant circle of support so that they can finally be shared with the world!

Given that our economy is on the path of re-opening, so many of us are struggling with making the right decisions for what is now being referred to as our “next normal”, especially in the face of not having full information, being overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information, wading through hearsay, trying to interpret poorly articulated guidelines, and so on. This episode is all about the importance of doing the work to gather  facts coupled with nurturing your self-talk to give you courage and help you make high quality, soul-satisfying choices that make your heart sing!

Do you suffer from having weak boundaries? In this week's episode, I'm talking about the emergence of compassion fatigue in light of the impact of Covid-19 and the importance of building our resilience muscles to be able to respond in a healthy way. In particular, I'm exploring one of the foundational strategies for building resilience, which is establishing, clearly communicating, and honouring our boundaries. With step-by-step guidelines, you'll know exactly what to do when it comes to setting your boundaries so that others can give you what you need.

In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the "new normal" of working remotely from home for so many of us, this episode offers guidance and 10 practical strategies you can implement right away to set you - and your family - up for success as you aim to be productive as you transition to working from your makeshift home office.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve been talking a lot  about being the bison and focusing on your circle of control. To support you in doing that, in this week’s podcast I’m offering six specific strategies you can focus on to help you show up as an open, fierce and compassionate leader in your work life as well as in your personal life in these really tough times.

In business, while creating a mission statement and a vision statement, identifying core values, and developing guiding principles are all important, the most fundamental piece you need to have in place is a clear understanding of your WHY – that answer to what really drives you to do what you do. And this WHY is a magnet for your loyal customers as well as for the those employees who want to work in your business (and will stay) when what you stand for aligns with what they believe in.

The word "Joy" is so messed up most of us misinterpret joy for happiness. Happiness happens and joy abides. Joy is not the absence of problem, whereas joy is the presence of God in the midst of what you are going through. One of the most powerful verse in the Bible is written by the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul is from the book of Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always, yet again I say rejoice. If you read the message version of it, it says, Celebrate God, all the day of your lives, In this episode we talk about to to keep our Joy and what are some traps we need to watch out not to loose Joy. Be blessed Remember Jesus is the best example of a Joyful person.
