256-Develop These Essential Leadership Skills No Matter Where You Lead

IDENTITY- Leadership requires courage. There's no two ways about it. And these four courage building skills are things that a lot of people overlook. But I'm sharing a new assessment you may never have heard of that will impact how you look at leadership and help you identify where you have strengths and where you still need to grow. Whether you lead at home, work, church, school, or online, I really believe these four essential skills will create a solid leadership foundation.

255-Want to Learn What Fuels You? Introducing a New Personal Growth Assessment

IDENTITY- Want to learn about personal growth assessments you can use for yourself and for your clients? In today's episode I'm talking about an amazing new one called the Nexus Profile. One of my Sterling & Stone Coaches, Patty Myers, uses it in her coaching and teaches about it as well.
The main point of the Nexus Profile is to help you identify your unique blend of motivators through an assessment of the four Nexus types: Stabilizer, Solutionary, Influencer, and Driver. This knowledge helps you understand more about how God designed you and how to use that info to succeed in all you do.
I'll share with you my scores, what I've learned about myself, and talk a little about how it shows up in my marriage!

254- 3 Prayers to Bless and Honor Your Parents- Even When You Don't Feel Like It

I wanted to give you a guided prayer during this season of Mother's Day and Father's Day because sometimes it's hard to know how to pray for our parents, especially if things are difficult in your relationship. So this episode has three prayers you can pray along with as you celebrate your parents (or try to survive 🥰).
1. Prayer for parents you want to bless
2. Prayer for parents who need the blessing of knowing the Father 
3. Prayer for parents you struggle to bless
Contextualize each prayer to make it more meaningful for you, and feel free to pray along with me or use this as inspiration for your own words.

253-Dealing with Mom and Dad Hurt

Relationships with the most important people in our lives are affected by our expectations, interpretations, and history. During the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day season, we face a time of celebrating the very people who’ve had a lot of power over what we think and feel. This can make special holidays really difficult and create a lot of stress. 
Creating a new paradigm involves intentionality and self-awareness. By choosing to interpret your parents' actions through a cleaner, more compassionate lens, you can cultivate a more positive emotional response. This shift not only improves your interactions with your parents but also influences how you feel after these interactions, leading to a more joyful and fulfilling legacy. Ultimately, it's about reclaiming the power over your thoughts and beliefs, allowing you to live a life that is true to your values and aspirations, rather than being dictated by past experiences or others’ behaviors.

252-Is Your Hope in Formulated Certainty or in Learning from Real-life Experiences?

Formulas, plans, and frameworks are super valuable, but they simply can't replace taking imperfect ACTION and learning from real-life EXPERIENCE. I can tell you 'how to' all day long but you won't really know the fullness of 'HOW' until you insert 'YOURSELF' into the formula. Thinking without doing limits your creativity, innovation, resilience, and ultimately your success.

251- 3 Big Points at the Start of Your Coaching Journey

There are three pivotal moments on your coaching journey that truly matter:
1. **Becoming a Coach**
2. **Starting a Business**
3. **Making Offers**
I’m also going to address common misconceptions holding you back, like waiting for everything to be perfect or needing others’ validation. The emphasis is on being intentional, taking action, and simplifying your approach to accelerate your coaching journey.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:
Recognize and act on the decision to become a coach, a business owner, and someone who makes coaching offers. 
Don’t wait for external validation or for everything to fall into place perfectly—confidence grows through action. 
Practice and embrace imperfection and learn from the process to cultivate excellence over time. 
Use clear strategies to remind yourself of your goals and stay intentional in your actions. 
Remember, your journey starts with intentionality and the willingness to take the first step.

250-Permission to Be in Process When Life is Hard

In this episode: HUMAN PROCESS
Life circumstances can really get hard for all of us, and even if it looks like things are great on the outside, the true process is really on the inside.
 
The truth is: life is both great and terrible, so what should you do when you find that you're not healing fast enough, grieving the right way, or escaping victimhood like you're supposed to? 
 
Well, the answer is simple: Grace.
***VIParts of this episode to refer to:
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Rom 8:28
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matt 28:20
Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb 13:20-21

249-Scripted Sessions or Unscripted- Which is Better?

In this episode: IMPERFECT ACTION
It's a valid feeling to want certainty and expertise before diving into something new. But in coaching it's simply not required. You are invited as a coach to hold space for the client and move in the direction they want to go, so having a complete and perfected plan ahead of time doesn't empower great coaching, it hinders it. I'm going to explain more in this episode and give you some guidance that will undergird your confidence and your experimentation as you grow into a great coach.

In this episode: PARADIGM SHIFTING
I know! It's hard to think like a successful coach when you don't feel like one! BUT... if you shift your thinking you'll cultivate emotions that make you feel like taking action, and that action is what will lead to having the client load you desire. So let's shift that paradigm and pour truth into your soul by faith!
