Honing your personal style to reflect who you are, with Katherine Johnson.
Be Brilliant in Your Business
In Episode 113, I have a great conversation with Katherine Johnson. She is the founder of True Self, an image consultancy that focuses on helping women look and feel like the leaders they are. Simply stated, they help you hone your personal style - from your wardrobe to your self-concept - so that you are presenting yourself to the world the way that you want to be seen. They focus on leadership because often, in leadership positions, women feel like they "have to be a certain way" (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the point) instead of fully being in alignment with who they...

108: Try my annual ritual for joy and prosperity.
Be Brilliant in Your Business
I am a fan of creating a ritual or practice to celebrate the end of a year and set the tone for a new year to come. In fact, the ritual I am sharing with you today is one that my husband and I have been practicing for 11 years! It’s a combination of reflection and intention setting, but that’s honestly too basic of a description for what it really does for me! That’s why I want to share it with you! I created a workbook to guide you through my annual Reflect, Refresh and Revitalize ritual. Inside, you'll find powerful questions to review your year, release unnecessary blocks, call in...

Be Brilliant in Your Business
“You are closer than you realize to being the person you want to be.” - Linsi Brownson What is something that you want in your life, but struggle to stick with? We often worry about the ways that we’re falling short, which is especially painful when we deeply desire something and believe that we are standing in our own way. In this episode, I am reflecting on the statement “I wish I was a person who…” that I hear often from the creative entrepreneurs I work with. The idea behind this is to change their behavior in order to become the person they want to be. Changing habits is...

106: Overcome this perfectionist block.
Be Brilliant in Your Business
“In the desire to do the right thing, we often do nothing.” - Linsi Brownson Hey Maverick, today we are diving into one of my favorite topics to coach on - perfectionism! Many creative entrepreneurs struggle with perfectionist tendencies, in part because they don’t realize they have them. Even people who consider themselves “perfectionists” (ahem, that’s a label I don’t agree with) often miss the subtleties that cause the most havoc in their lives. Because perfectionism isn't about having high standards or wanting things to be perfect. In fact, most of the people who I talk...
