When was the last time you had the courage to reach out to an old friend or coworker? When was the last time you realized that someone in your inner circle is actually going through similar circumstances as you? Give a listen and think of who your 'courage check-in' will be this week. 

Have you really sat and thought about fear? How is fear consuming your thought process? How is fear stirring up insecurity in your leadership and robbing your team of success? How is fear stealing your joy? This week we're diving in and talking about all of it! Get ready to walk out a better leader because of it.

It's good to be back! Let's dive in this week to chat about integrity, honesty and how to navigate what's happening next in your life.

As an ex-New Zealand Police Officer and Diplomatic Protection Officer for the Prime Minister who suffered from PTSD, anxiety, and major burnout Chris Chandler-Yates learned specific things not to do to perform at his maximum ability. He left the Police to find himself again and has gone on a journey to change the mental health of first responders and busy professionals. His teaching is simple: how to perform at a higher level by doing less. He does this using NLP and mindset changes to build a strong shift and foundation quickly.

Join us this week to hear his perspective.

Sometimes we can throw wise thinking out there but we're not sure what the initial starting point was or why we needed the wisdom. Did we do the work to focus on the need and the why for the wisdom? We can say morning routines make you great, they look great on IG, but we don't always reveal behind the curtain of the challenges leading up to it.

So let's dive into what I've taken away as critical points for The Five Uncomfortable Truths to Wisdom:

1. Overcome self-doubt to rebuild your self-confidence.

2. Selfish time management is healthy.

3. Responsibility means knowing when to accept help.

4. Giving your time is rewarding.

5. Self-discipline will help your mind get unstuck.

Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It's essentially your mental toughness. Grit, on the other hand, is a unique blend of passion and persistence. This week we're diving into resilience and grit. We'll be talking about how it plays out in your work teams, family and friendships.  5 Ways to Develop Grit and Resilience Be intentional in connecting with others who thrive in resilience. They will help you when you welcome them into your thought patterns. Reroute your negative thought patterns. Take the negativity captive when it approaches your mindset. Of course, easier said than done. Allowing a friend to transparently hear what you tell yourself is a great way to begin to identify healthy and unhealthy patterns. Change is constant. Allow yourself to embrace it. Catch your negative self-talk. It won't help you persevere if your negativity is your greatest enemy. Be compassionate to yourself. Grit and resilience are about growth. It's not overnight; rather, it's a lifelong journey. Allow others on the journey to help you develop Grit and Resilience.

This week we talk about the unseen stories of 2020. We're diving in to touch on the homework that needs to be done in order to heal from whatever you had to "sit with" in 2020. This message encourages you to face "all the feels" and come out on the other end stronger. If you have something you need to cut out of your life from 2020 - let it go. If you need to equip yourself with the recommendations you received in 2020 - dive into them. Let this message speak truth and honesty to you, regardless of where you're at this season.

How many times have you made the assumption you were unqualified? Have you stopped a talent of yours because you convinced yourself you were good enough anymore? Giftings come with natural talent and hard work. What are you resisting working at? What are you ignoring that actually brings you a lot of joy? 

Also, I share a great nugget from Jen Sincero's You Are A Badass Every Day.
