In this episode you'll learn about Sara's journey and how to start your un-becoming in a four step method. Step 1: What about you, is not really you? Step 2: You define who you are.

You may have almost noticed yourself feeling different. And you can't really put a name to that feeling. It's not depression, it's not anxiety so what is it? It's kinda a BLAH feeling, right? It's a feeling of stuck, maybe? Yeah - we've felt it too. Listen in as we discuss that feeling in-depth and grapple over how to describe it. We are sharing interesting ways to beat it back with a rather large club AKA self-talk. Read about languishing here.

Are the words that describe Executive Presence nouns or adjectives…I mean who knows and what are we trying to say anyway? Well listen in as we dive into a really cool model for Executive Presence. And what does Rick Grimes have to do with it?   This is part one of a tw- part series where we share a simple model for developing executive presence, the most elusive term in leadership.   Link to the Executive Presence model by Dr. Paul Aldo.
