131: Enrich Your Relationships With the Enneagram and Leslie Neugent Part 2 We’re back with Part 2 of the incredibly insightful conversation with Leslie Neugent about The Enneagram! The Enneagram can greatly improve your leadership abilities and your relationships. I always say self-awareness is our greatest advantage and that is on full display in this conversation. As you realize more about yourself and those around you, you are able to easily approach all relationships with a new level of compassion. I know first-hand—my family and I have been able to leverage this unique personal development tool, which I share more about in this episode. But what makes the Enneagram different, how does it work, and how does it improve our relationships? We’re covering all of that in this episode with Leslie. As we did last episode, we take a look at how our perception in childhood creates our motivations and coping mechanisms that we bring with us into adulthood (and our work). Leslie is a friend and sought-after relationship consultant and Enneagram expert! I’m so excited to have her join me for this continuation of our in-depth conversation about the 9 Enneagram types, their superpowers (or gifts), as well as blindspots for each one to be aware of. There is, in fact, so much detail Leslie shares with us that we divided the conversation into two episodes. Be sure to catch of this enlightening interview! Our mission is to help you become unstoppable so you can do the best work of your career while you enjoy more inner peace and freedom.

Leslie is not only a friend, but she’s also a sought-after relationship consultant, Enneagram expert, and speaker! I’m so excited to have her join me for this in-depth conversation about the 9 Enneagram types, their superpowers (or gifts), as well as the blindspots of each.

128: What Working Hard May Tell You About Your Self-Worth 03/21/2024

128: What Working Hard May Tell You About Your Self-Worth Many of us are struggling with the pace of life and the drive to hustle to accomplish more. Often our drive has been a part of our career or financial success, but what happens when it never feels like we enjoy what we’ve created? Through the years I’ve worked with scores of leaders, parents, and high-achievers who—from the outside—seem to have it all. But when the curtain is peeled back, there’s a sense of never enough, not good enough, and deep dissatisfaction. They continue to chase the next accomplishment hoping that then they’ll finally feel fulfilled. But what is really at the root when it never happens? In this episode, I’m sharing more of my story with not feeling worthy and the moment everything shifted. So many of you resonated with the earlier episode of wanting to work less without the worry. This episode is the answer to why we work so hard and the missing piece many at this point in life are yearning for. It’s my greatest hope you hear this and are able to acknowledge the missing piece in your life right now and determine if feelings of self-worth may be keeping you from it. Stay until the end for a tool you can use today to start shifting the false culturally trained belief that you have to hustle for your worth and how you can change your life when you learn how to cultivate yours! Our mission is to help you become unstoppable so you can do the best work of your career while you enjoy more inner peace and freedom.

127: The One Strategy To Level Up Your Problem Solving 03/07/2024

126: How To Overcome Your Resistance To Work Less 02/22/2024

126: How To Overcome Your Resistance To Work Less Do you have a deep desire to work less but find it difficult to slow down despite how much you want to? Many of those in midlife with good careers and successful businesses are finding themselves exhausted today. They’ve hit their threshold where they know the pace is no longer sustainable. Working hard is coming at a cost to our kids and relationships, and more often than not – our health. I understand. I’ve been there. We can do all of the things we’re supposed to do: delegate more, hire more people, get better technology or a smarter time management system. Any of these ideas can work temporarily. But what happens when you get the additional resources, or you finish the project, and you still find that you are missing other priorities because you are working too much? What’s really preventing us from slowing down? The reason we can’t slow down has everything to do with understanding our motivations and the overused coping mechanisms we use when we are stressed. It's not our fault we’ve gotten here, but it is our responsibility to change it. It’s 100% possible to work less and worry less while you do. This episode will walk you through the steps you need to take to work less—without worrying the other shoe will drop when you do. Our mission is to help you become unstoppable so you can do the best work of your career while you enjoy more inner peace and freedom.
