Send us a textMany of us are experiencing being overwhelmed and burnt out in our careers.  Depending on your industry, you may feel isolated and alone. You don't really have anyone who gets it, and if you bring the frustration home, it can only cause issues with your family and friends. Anxiety, depression, and fatigue can develop, and if you're not careful, you can do physical damage to your body, like heart disease and other stress-related diseases. Despite having a good job and supportive colleagues, Danielle De La Mare, founder of Self-Compassionate Professor, career wellness coach, podcaster, and former tenured professor of Communication Studies, was unhappy for a long time. She had become attached to her career identity, addicted to work, and regularly experienced shame-driven anxiety due to imposter syndrome.In this episode, Danielle shares how an impactful medical diagnosis encouraged her to change her life significantly.

In this episode, the Haitian sensation Will Baptiste returns to continue our discussion on men surviving and thriving in today's society but through the lens of his book, The Will To Rise: How To Persevere In The Face of Adversity. This book touches on some areas of life and things men experience, but they often have to keep it close hold and never, ever discuss it. We are talking about things like sexual abuse and trauma, black men's incarceration, domestic violence, mental health, and so much more. Some questions we answer are:What happens to men who are victims of abuse?How do women take advantage of men, and how does it impact them?Can a woman raise a son? Can men and women be friends? If you wonder how these questions relate to adversity in a man's life, you'll have to tune in and listen to this episode. Will shares what he has learned from his personal experience and that of those he has worked with to educate both men and women and begin to shift our relationships. It's time to raise your awareness, gain acceptance, and take action. Connect with Will Baptiste: https://www.meetwill2rise.com/Connect with Carolyn at https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to get free credit to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app at https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll. Note:  This episode was prerecorded and does reference purchasing the book as a holiday gift.  The book would make a great gift any time of the year.

It may just be time for you to get uncomfortable and take some risks. 

We spend a lot of time planning for our careers, special occasions, and events, but we spend very little time creating a plan for our money. Despite America being deemed one of the wealthiest countries, U.S. workers are living paycheck to paycheck, racking up debt, having little or no savings, and having no plan for retirement. People spend a lot of time being anxious and worrying about money, which can lead to mental health challenges or make existing mental health challenges worse. This further impacts our work performance, physical health, and, let's not forget, relationships. According to our guest, money mentor, coach, and accounting and tax doctor, Dakota Grady, America is in a financial crisis, but there is hope.  In this episode, we discuss:Is America really in a financial crisis? Bouncing back after losing your job. Why you need a money plan.Should you use cash or credit?What a rainy day fund is, how to create one, and so much more. If you are worried about debt, retirement, and your financial future, tune in as Dakota shares tips and strategies to help you begin to get your financial house in order. Connect with Dakota: https://www.dakotagrady.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com Use the code "LEADER" to get a FREE $10 to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app or call any expert you'd like. Apple users, use this link - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwllAndroid users, use this link - https://infinitycoaching.net/androidowwll

Imagine working closely with individuals whose actions determine whether you live or die. Or you frequently work long hours in high-stress, high-paced environments, sometimes in isolated locations far away from friends and family. Maybe you have had to miss special occasions, your child's memorable first, or you have had to work during the holidays. Many spend years in careers like this, and their experience shapes who they become. These individuals, Veterans, are those who have served in the United States military. Individuals transitioning from the military can lose a part of themselves. According to the 2021 census, only 6.4% of the nation's adult population has served in the military. This creates a unique population that shares a common bond. However, many in society do not understand this experience, which makes it difficult for Veterans to transition back into society. This includes returning to what some would call a normal civilian life, obtaining a job, navigating family dynamics, and even attending college.In this episode,  Corporate Coach for Veterans Ahmad Burse joins us to discuss the Veteran transition. We talk about:The first 90 days after separating Challenges transitioning service members have  What it really means to say, "Thank you for your service,"Do all Veterans have some trauma they need to deal withThree things are Veterans need to have Key things employers need to consider when hiring or recruiting  VeteransAdvice for those working side by side with Veterans and more...Tune in as we dive into Veterans' challenges when transitioning from the military, starting a new career, and how employers can create an inclusive environment that welcomes those who have served our country. Connect with Ahmad:  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/burseconsulting/Website - http://www.burseconsulting.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader and receive free credits to meet Carolyn or another expert on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll

Relationships are hard these days.  It is hard to find someone you want to be with, and it is hard to maintain the relationship. Too often, people will find out too late, after they say I do, that the person they married is not their person. Or we stay in relationships that are destructive and drain every ounce of life out of us. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. But if you peel the layers back, and you are honest, you will admit we don't take time to do the work to prepare us to be in a healthy, viable, and adventurous relationship. In this episode, men's mental health coach and transformative leader William Baptiste joins us to talk about what it takes to become a husband.

Have you heard of the COVID 15? If you haven't, it is very similar to the freshman 15. You know you go off to college, and as you adjust to this new phase in life, you add about 15 pounds to your body. For the past few years, as a result of the COVID pandemic, many of us were primarily working at home, and as a result, we packed on a few extra pounds. Working away in our homes, we became sedentary, did not take good care of our health, or practiced a solid self-care routine. Now that we are traveling again, going to networking events and conferences, or maybe going back into the office, even if it is just a few days a week, we have encountered a small, well, actually large problem. The clothes hanging in our closet no longer fit.  One of the best ways to combat disease, illness, or fatigue is to properly care for our minds, souls, and bodies. Now, we talk a lot about the first two, our minds and souls, on the show, but joining us today is Coach Larry Lee, who is going to discuss the third piece, our bodies. In the episode, we discuss:

According to our guest today, we all have a hero inside of us. Yes, all of us. Not just me but even you too. But far too often, something stands in our way from letting the hero rise and guide us. What is this obstacle standing in our way? The Ego. The Ego likes for us to stay safe and comfortable; there is only so much we can achieve, and we probably don't deserve it anyway. It's easy to see what "they" have that we don't have. We avoid taking risks and become stuck in a place where there is no growth. What if we can learn a different way to approach life, from an authenticity, allowing ourselves to be who we truly are with no shame, guilt, fear, or worry about what others think of us? Is it even possible in this world of social media and cancel culture?  In this episode, spiritual teacher, and personal transformation coach, Christian de la Huerta shares with us how we can begin to understand the ego and how we view power and tools to heal our egos to live a whole and authentic life. We discuss:   Embarking on the "Heroes' Journey"    Emotions and the impact they have on us and our relationships  Why we need to redefine traditional male roles   If men should still be defined by the size of their paycheck and more...Tune in, learn how to say yes, and create a life you truly enjoy living. Connect with Christian: https://soulfulpower.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll. 

Life can be hard. You will experience difficult times, adversities, and tragedies regardless of who you are or your background. These difficult moments can knock you off your feet, leading to unhealthy habits, divorce, and sometimes even suicide. We are not born knowing how to deal with these moments and are often unprepared when they happen. Once they do, we can get stuck, not knowing what to do or how to move forward.Our guest today, Johnny Sirpilla, knows way too much about the pain of dealing with difficult moments in life, having gone through 13 different scenarios to try to become a father with his wife, Susan. From In Vitro Fertilization to natural pregnancies, adoptions, international adoptions, twins, triplets, life-threatening medical concerns, and tested faith, Johnny had to decide how he would get through these moments and live his life to the best of his ability. Some say time heals all wounds. But was it possible in Johnny's case?  In this episode, we talk about:   The impact and pain of tragic events     Searching for the positive through the pain    How to manage and reframe our thoughts    How to emerge through  the pain and live with gratitude Johnny shares a very personal story as an example, "Life is Hard, But it Will Be Okay." Connect with Johnny - https://johnnysirpilla.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll. 

As a parent, you often have dreams for your children for what you want their life to be like. You may put them in sports, music, or other activities, making them go even when they don't want to.

With the state of our country, or better yet, our world, men have to reclaim their power.  Men have begun to numb themselves to certain feelings and emotions and, as a result, are acting in ways that could be detrimental to society.  There is confusion as to their role and place in society, along with men struggling with how to resolve conflict and make peace with themselves and those around them. Can we find an antidote to the numbness and a path to creating wholeness in men? In this episode, sought-after coach Stephen Kotev joins us to share his insights and experiences on the troubling aspects of men and relationships, conflict resolution, embodiment, numbness, and becoming whole.  We discuss:  If men have become defective   If men are owning their stuff or just numbing the pain   Giving yourself permission to make mistakes   Not getting caught in the trap of perfection and more...So if you are ready to reclaim your power and understand why emotional fitness is the key, tune in and be ready to take lots of notes. For the women in our audience, you'll want to tune in to understand the men in your life better. Connect with Steve: https://stephenkotev.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll 

Everyone likes to feel heard and know that their voice matters. It can be in our jobs, careers, relationships, or family. We want to feel heard, seen, valued and understood. But, if we take a hard look, we will see some of the biggest failures or misunderstandings in our work life and personal relationships are because, plainly put, our communications skills suck. We can be saying exactly what we want, but the person we are telling it to, are they really listening? A person will hear what they want to hear and act on that. Bad decisions are made, and we stay in relationships we probably should not be in, resulting in an expensive, costly error that can be difficult to recover from or maybe even divorce. All that could have been avoided if we just invested in active listening. In this episode, employee engagement and loyalty expert Heather Younger discusses how you can build better relationships and improve communication professionally and personally through active listening. We talk about:  The impact of  not listening  Saying things just to get along   The cycle of active listening    Listening does not mean agreeing    Unconscious bias and listening    It's more than just listening; you have to take action too and more...Get ready to build better relationships professionally and personally. Connect with Heather: https://heatheryounger.comConnect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll 

Have you ever worked for a boss who was just a jerk? They were such an inadequate boss; they didn't even realize the impact they were having on their team. Under their leadership or really management, team members do not thrive; they survive. Turnover is high, morale and engagement are low, and most people do enough to get by. Our guest in this episode, Michelle D. Reines, was once a leader like this. But she was an ass as a boss. Michelle did not understand how to lead. But through her thrills of defeat and victory, she learned what it takes to become a true leader, a leader that people want to work for and will give 110% to achieving success. Through her years of experience, Michelle has identified 12 leadership lessons to help you unlock the art of leading like a Badass. Michelle is a coach, entrepreneur, founder of MDR Coaching & Consulting, Inc., and creator of the unconventional Badass Leader brand. In this episode, she shares her journey, how you can recognize if you are a Bad Leader, and what you can do today to unlock the Badass Leader within you.

I was getting a little nervous again. I had run into another issue with the podcast. How much longer and how many times would I choose to allow this to happen? What should I do?  February focuses a lot on romance and relationships, so I started thinking about my podcast issues and how it compares to a relationship.  When should we decide to let go and move on?In this episode, I use what occurred with the podcast to discuss what can happen in relationships when we choose to ignore certain actions that take place. The things we ignore can build up over time and result in a resentful, unhappy, and destructive relationship.  Should we continue to ignore them, or should we approach things differently?Tune in to learn what happened and how we can decide when it's time to let go and move on. Owwll App - use code "leadership" iPhone - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwllAndroid - https://infinitycoaching.net/androidowwllConnect with your host: https://carolyn360.com 

The media constantly defines what a man should be and what a woman should be. Men should not allow themselves to be vulnerable with a woman; if they do, they will be seen as weak.

 How to Unlock Your Best Life with guest Ann Papayoti - Episode 232 What would you do if you found out your best friend was sleeping with your boyfriend? We have watched this play out on TV shows or movies and make headline news. Betrayal was even at the center of the storyline in season two of the Netflix hit Euphoria. As we watch events like this or other painful events unfold, we don't think about how it impacts someone's life. That is, until it happens to you or someone close to you. Far too often, we allow the tragedies and pain from our past to prevent us from moving forward and achieving success in our lives. We stay in denial, unconsciously causing harm to others and ourselves. Is it healthy to stay in this space? If so, how long can or should we stay there? What can we do to break free from the pain of our past? In this episode, author and coach Ann Papayoti shares how you can break free from the past, create positive change, and unlock your best life. Ann has gone through some painful moments in life, ranging from betrayal by her best friend and boyfriend, marriage to an abusive husband, suicide, and the death of a child. However, through the depth of her grief and honoring herself, Ann was able to bring all her losses to the forefront and rediscover herself. Tune in to learn how Ann was able to use the gift of "shift" to transform her life and how you can too.

How to make it, keep it, and live debt-free. We aren't taught how to manage our finances in school, so we often learn the hard way. Even if one appears to be making a significant amount of money, there is a good chance they aren't managing it well. When a crisis hits, it can cause a lot of disruption, stress, and overwhelm.

In this episode, financial coach, author, and speaker Dakota Grady joins us to help us understand how to stop worrying about money, change our stories, and begin to create generational wealth.

Episode 224: Having Fun with Video Games in the Workplace with Scott Novis We have entered a new era with more and more people working remotely.  It's safe to say, many companies will permanently adopt some form of a hybrid workforce.  There are many reasons why working remotely is a good idea from cost savings to no more long commutes. However, a hybrid workforce does not come without challenges.  Many people find themselves working in isolation and feeling disconnected. They used to stop by a colleague's desk or have lunch with a friend. There were after-work activities and celebrations for birthdays and major events.  People didn't realize the impact these activities had on team building and keeping employees engaged. There was already very little fun at work, but now it's almost non-existent. This new normal can easily lead to unproductive employees, lack of communication, and resignations. Is it okay to have fun at work? As a team member or leader, what can you do to create a strong team and create an environment where people, including you, are fully engaged and want to come to work? In this episode, Scott Novis discusses how playing video games, might just be what your team needs to go from surviving to thriving.    Connect with Scott: https://www.bravous.com/play Connect with your host, Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com
