Join Jill this week as she discusses the difference between someone feeling truly heard versus someone hijacking a group setting. She uses the example of a Zoom call in which two participants dominated the conversation, going on lengthy tangents instead of following the facilitator's instructions. Jill offers the possibility that such behavior is not meant to be malicious and discusses some possible reasons for it, including nervous system dysregulation, ego protection, and general lack of self-awareness. As the leader of a group, Jill stresses the importance of politely yet firmly redirecting...

This week on Be YOU, join Jill as she revisits an exercise from in which listeners were asked to do a "brain dump" of their fears and worries and then rewrite/reframe them in positive ways. She encourages listeners to continue doing this exercise, even affirming that many people around the world are participating! The key part of the exercise now? As Jill explains, be aware of when you are speaking your fears and worries out loud, and immediately "flip the script" by saying the positive version out loud instead. Jill gives some examples, like if you find yourself complaining about someone...

The clock is ticking - the Be You celebratory event is just over a month away on October 25th in Fort Wayne, Indiana! Jill is so excited but also feeling the pressure of planning this large event on her own, and she shares that she's learned some valuable lessons, such as how it's okay to jump in even if you haven't spent much time in the "kiddie pool" before.
Jill is asking for help from her listeners, inviting a select group of her most dedicated podcast fans to a special birthday celebration dinner for the 5-year anniversary of the Be You podcast. To be considered, listeners should email Jill and share the impact the podcast has had on them. She is asking listeners to record a short video talking about how the podcast has made a difference, which she plans to use at the event and for other promotions.
The event itself promises to be an expansive experience, not a deep transformational one. Jill states that attendees will be beautifully reminded of not just who you are, but how freaking amazing you really are, and topics will include people-pleasing, perfectionism, comparison, and the connection between our inner selves and our leadership/work lives.
While Jill highlights the fact that this event is not a necessity, it is an opportunity for those who feel called to it, and she encourages listeners to say yes to themselves and invest in their own growth while also honoring that the decision is a personal one without pressure!
