In this episode Megan and Tim have a conversation all around freedom: what it means, different perspectives and our individual pursuit. We are hoping our listeners will join in the conversation! We’d love to hear your thoughts. Show Notes: What does freedom mean to you? Are you truly free and living freely? Five areas discussed: mental, physical, financial, emotional and spiritual The active and continuous pursuit of freedom You can be physically and financially free, but lack emotional, mental and spiritual freedom Your level of freedom is directly related to the choices you make Must understand that it’s ok to fail forward and change your mind Resistance to freedom and change vs. the comfort of habit and routine Projecting how you believe others will respond can be dangerous It’s important to be thoughtful and inclusive of others, but while you are responsible to others you are not responsible for them Importance of alignment and continuous growth and adapting Keep your head up and looking forward: focus creates blindness Correlation of freedom and honesty with yourself and others Physical incarceration vs. your heart being incarcerated Your quest for freedom, even if unpopular, may actually liberate others Freedom can be difficult, but own your choices and embrace the consequences Learn More + Connect with Tim and Megan: Uphill Strategies – Strong Leaders.

On this episode of Uphill Conversations we talk with Pamela Evette on values, priorities, and hard work in business and in life.

Under her leadership, QBS has grown exponentially, becoming a $1 billion dollar enterprise in 2016.  QBS has been honored as one of the best places to work in its home state of South Carolina and as one of the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies in the United States. Show Notes: Fearlessness and what it means for a Pamela to be fearless How Pamela’s ancestors and family have inspired her to be bold The impact of what you say and don’t say on those around you Being brave vs. having courage Owning a business means you can set certain priorities, but there are always trade-offs What holds people back from stepping out on their own professionally An entrepreneurial spirit can make you feel unsettled at times You don’t always need to take big risks, you can systematically and gradually work towards building your vision How Pamela’s background and Polish heritage taught her the value of hard work and never to expect anything to be easy, to be handed to you or to go smoothly. “Nothing is free. There is never a free lunch.” Pamela’s view on change: very few outcomes are unfixable, so be open to new ideas, be decisive, and keep moving forward Importance of being realistic and honest in asking yourself what you’re willing to sacrifice as an entrepreneur Impact 9/11 had on the industry and QBS as a business Benefits of starting lean, growing smart and persevering Pamela’s optimism about QBS’ continued growth, the QBS team getting stronger and the U.S. economy Connect with Pamela: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pamela-evette-6025a24/ QBS Website: qualitybsolutions.net QBS Facebook: facebook.com/qualitybsolutions/ QBS Twitter: @QB_Solutions QBS LinkedIn: quality-business-solutions-inc- INTRO AND OUTRO MUSIC (Used by permission): No Worries (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Gotta Move On (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Uphill Conversations is an Uphill Strategies, LLC production © 2017 Uphill Conversations The post 45: Pamela Evette – Leadership, Strong Values + Hard Work appeared first on Uphill Conversations.

Show Notes: When we build the lives we want, time saves itself Everything we do is a choice Choosing how to spend leisure time can be a big challenge Having a “to do” list vs scheduling priorities Annual goal setting, personal and professional, helps align and adhere to your top priorities Don’t just fill time, build intentional breaks into your day where you actually disconnect and mentally recharge Time tracking shines a light on how where you’re losing or wasting hours throughout the day and week Simplify your approach to tracking hours – it doesn’t have to be complicated or highly-detailed Questions you can ask yourself each day in order to be more mindful of how your time is spent Making changes can cause discomfort and challenges for you and others The vast majority of things that upset us today won’t matter in a year or even next week When you do two things at once, you’re often doing neither of them well Impact of giving your full attention to the person in front of you Laura’s Uphill Challenge in her early writing career “Done is better than perfect because there is no perfect without being done” Disciplines Laura uses to get started, build and gain momentum Question of one’s true capacity and value of planning free time “Weekends can be the secret weapon of successful people” When evaluating opportunities, it’s all about what gives you the most energy and fulfillment Laura’s optimism on her new book, her family and the world in general Connect with Laura: Website: lauravanderkam.com Twitter: @lvanderkam Facebook: lauravanderkamauthor LinkedIn: lauravanderkam Books / Resources: 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think What The Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast Dave Ramsey INTRO AND OUTRO MUSIC (Used by permission): No Worries (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Gotta Move On (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Uphill Conversations is an Uphill Strategies, LLC production © 2017 Uphill Conversations The post 44: Laura Vanderkam – You Have More Time Than You Think appeared first on Uphill...

In this episode Tim and Megan dive into the topic of discovering and embracing your inner-genius and unmistakable creativity. Show Notes: Borrowing color and putting it back into the world Like fingerprints, .1% of our DNA is completely unique Focus less on similarities and more on unique differences Leaders should cultivate, extract and celebrate diversity and creativity within teams Be unapologetically yourself while still respecting the views and differences of others Instead of answers to remember, let’s give our children problems to solve Allow people the freedom to discover new and different ways to approach and solve problems Creativity can be applied to all areas, not just the arts Be liberated to suspend the need to be realistic How leaders can inspire greater creativity within teams Mastery is not perfection, it’s practicing until you get it right Have a growth mindset – aspire to be a lifelong learner Settling for mediocrity (“rusting out”) means never stretching yourself to achieve more Nothing listens better than blank piece of paper Embrace your imperfections and stop pursuing perfection 8 ways to draw out your unmistakable creative: Having the desire to touch, feel, interact and engage with the world around you Be present with people who inspire Embrace creative daring Enjoy blank sheets of paper Cross your own boundaries Develop your grit Leverage repetition Embrace pressure as a privilege Learn more about Tim and Megan: Uphill Strategies – Strong Leaders.

Show Notes:  Belief that we can manifest anything we desire Biggest limitation can be our fear of not having the perfect road map or plan Deliberately disrupting the traditional method of following in others footsteps to think and do differently Don’t just make the decision to jump, actually jump – people must be enrolled in their own risk Moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset Intentionally living your life on the edge of uncertainty Be the person you believe you will become Evaluate what you are attracting and allowing into your life Willpower, discipline and alignment Importance of self-discovery and following intuition Tips for greater success in manifesting what you desire Prepare yourself to be wrong, but know it’s not the end Setting yourself up for the day you want to live into tomorrow Check out Uphill Conversations Episode 11 with Regan Hillyer Connect with Regan: Facebook – www.facebook.com/ReganHillyer Instagram – www.instagram.com/reganhillyer Twitter –  www.twitter.com/reganhillyer Website – www.reganhillyer.com INTRO AND OUTRO MUSIC (Used by permission): No Worries (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Gotta Move On (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Uphill Conversations is an Uphill Strategies, LLC production © 2017 Uphill Conversations The post 41: Tim & Regan Hillyer – Manifest What You Desire appeared first on Uphill Conversations.

Lin Eleoff joins us on Uphill Conversations to talk about the key components of living a gutsy glorious life. She is an author, lawyer and “rock your life” coach for women over 40. Lin has written what she calls “The New Rules” for women who are ready to WOMAN UP in all aspects of their lives, something she says takes GUTS, GRIT, and GRACE. Lin says one of the worst things a woman can do is turn her back on herself when it comes to the woman she sees in the mirror.

We are not called to get it right, we are called to learn Trap of self-comparison versus embracing our uniqueness and imperfections In order to change, we must be willing to see that supporting others to the detriment of ourselves is not as a badge of honor Impact our parents have in our lives: inspiring us, imposing wisdom and leading by example Using mantra “Cut. Bleed. Heal.” to work through situations where you’ve been wounded Not allowing past wounds to determine our present or future actions Awareness of inner feelings and recognizing signals to guide choices Sometimes need to scare people into paying attention and taking responsibility, to understand the dangers of ignorance How Lin invests in herself and empowers others Lin’s perspective on the myth of “having it all” Connect with Lin: Website: lineleoff.com / gutsygloriousliving.com Podcast: lineleoff.com/category/podcast/ Facebook: facebook.com/lin.eleoff/ Twitter: twitter.com/lineleoff INTRO AND OUTRO MUSIC (Used by permission): No Worries (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Gotta Move On (© 2014 Anderson Music, LLC) Uphill Conversations is a POTAD, LLC production (Partnership of Thinking and Doing) © 2017 Uphill Conversations The post 36: Lin Eleoff – Guts, Grit and Grace appeared first on Uphill Conversations.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the annual ritual of making New Year’s resolutions. Whether or not you have resolved to do anything different in 2017, listen as we discuss how to overcome obstacles and maintain forward momentum. We also introduce you to Uphill Conversations’ new co-host, Megan Finnern. She is an entrepreneur and marketer in Upstate South Carolina who has a passion for leadership and building leaders in the community and beyond. Show Notes: Megan shares her passion for leadership and how she gives back to the community. Megan shares how her upbringing led her to value relationships and her belief in the ability to achieve anything you set your mind to. The importance of forward movement Value of reflecting on the past year and asking where you want to go in the new year Why people avoid resolutions or follow other traditions Common obstacles to achieving what you’ve resolved to do Looking inward and asking yourself “Is there more?”,“Who do I want to become?” and “What can I bring to the world?” How comfort can create stagnation Self-checking and self-awareness. Are you asking “What’s missing?” The trouble with living your life on “what ifs.” The need to help and grow yourself before you can effectively help and grow others. Not allowing personal challenges and struggles to define you The new year is the perfect time to dream big, to reevaluate gifts and relationships, and to focus on making real change. Once you’ve set goals, create a plan and consistent checkpoints to evaluate success and maintain momentum. Bringing others into your plan can help you stay accountable, add value and elevate your results. Tim’s goals for this year: writing his book and continuing to grow Uphill Conversations by creating valuable, lasting content Challenges and obstacles people face when making changes How you can learn to work with an obstacle: if you’re not being challenged, you’re not going to grow. Key differentiator between resolve and regret Why people and relationships matter so much to Megan Making mistakes and learning from them is critical for growth How striving for perfection can be a hindrance to self-actualization How coaching has benefitted Megan in her personal and professional journey and her experience as a leader and coach Why Megan is excited to join Uphill Conversations!

LaRae Quy was an FBI counterintelligence and undercover agent who exposed foreign spies and recruited them to work for the U.S. Government. A good FBI counterintelligence investigation uncovers new information about the spy to gain deeper insights into what influences their behavior and attitudes. LaRae’s job was to dig beneath the surface, probe the unknown, and discover their identity. In the process, she ended up knowing more about the foreign spy than they knew about themselves. LaRae was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where she learned many of the survival skills she would need as an FBI agent. After twenty years as an undercover and counterintelligence agent, LaRae became the spokesperson for the FBI in Northern California for four years. Although the job description had changed, she used the same set of communication skills to present both a compelling message and positive image of the FBI. LaRae completed graduate studies at Arizona State University before joining the FBI. She has also completed graduate studies at San Francisco Theological Seminary.

IN JENNY’S WORDS: Normally I would write in the third-person to tell you about how ahhh-mazing I am, and why super fancy people hire me for uber-awesome undertakings. But you know what? Work schmerk. Let’s start with the fun stuff, shall we? I’m a 32-year-old Silicon Valley bred career and business strategist living in the Big Apple; a world traveler not to be mistaken with a backpacker (as I most certainly cannot be relied upon to pack lightly); a yoga lover and gadget fanatic. An eternal bookworm and quote junkie, I am always on the lookout for just the right book “prescription” for whatever might be standing in your way (or mine). When I’m not buried in a book, magazine, newspaper, moleskine notebook or gadget, you will find me walking through the streets of Manhattan with a rockin’ soundtrack playing, imagining I’m the lead in a movie called “New York City, Starring Jenny Blake.” I know . . . it’s ridiculous. I love staying active—yoga, pilates, walking and dancing keep me grounded, strong, happy and sane—but not without an ulterior motive: to work off at least one delicious multi-course meal I delight in on weekends. Finally, I am a shamelessly gooey romantic—I love asking people how they met their significant other; watching their smile widen and their eyes sparkle as they tell their story. It is priceless…and contagious. Try this sometime.
