What if your employees and future leaders didn't struggle with challenges at home or with their finances? Do you think they'd perform better at work?According to this week's guests, they sure would! And they have the data to back it up.Everyone brings stress and anxiety to work. It's a normal part of being human.

It's a win-win and we don't do it enough. This week on the podcast, Zach Smith and Rod McDermott of Activate 180 share why it's so important to provide coaching for employees, no matter where they are in the organization. Especially now, with so many leaders leaving and younger employees moving up quickly to fill their roles.This conversation is so hopeful for the potential of organizations overall and the teams and individuals the organizations support. Coaching isn't designed to improve performance that might be lacking; it's for helping team members show up as their best selves to help maximize their impact in the company.About Zach Smith:Zach Smith is the Chief Activation Officer + Co-Founder of Activate 180.

We get into all the juicy, and Jenna makes it a point to leave absolutely NOTHING off the table. She's a firm believer that everything that happens in life happens FOR you, not TO you, and that every part of your story—the good, the bad, and the downright messy—deserves to be expressed.    Jenna grew up feeling the need to overachieve as a way to find external validation and worthiness from her family and peers. This drive led her to become a super successful fitness trainer for celebrities (her client list included Ben Stiller, Katy Perry, and Saudi Arabian royalty), but she still couldn't find the inner peace she desired. It wasn't until a near-death experience that everything changed for her, and she started to rebuild her life from the inside out.    Today, this mama of two is teaching others how to be leaders from a place of integrity alongside her husband at the Ascension Leadership Academy and guiding fellow ambitious women on how to harness the law of attraction to manifest the life of their dreams.    If you're moving though a challenging season, or feelings of unworthiness, or searching for inner peace, this is the episode for you.  What you'll get out of this episode… - Hear Jenna's stories of being molested at a young age, her near-death experience, and the lessons they taught her - How experiencing contrast in life can be your greatest teacher - What balance truly means, and how to achieve it - The value of emotional intelligence in leadership - How your thoughts can shape your life, and being careful about what you wish for - What is the Law of Attraction and how you can manifest anything - How to instill emotional intelligence in children - Actionable advice for anyone who is going through a challenging season - What you need to accept when you want to live a big, juicy, full life - Healing your inner child and knowing that you are enough    If you liked this episode, make sure you check out…    - Jenna's website at https://www.jennaphillipsballard.com/ and find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jennaphillipsballard/  - The Ascension Leadership Academy https://pages.alaeq.com/  - Learn more about the Law of Attraction and Abraham Hicks https://www.abraham-hicks.com/  - More on mindset and manifestation with Emily Williams https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emily-williams-the-money-mindset-you-need-for-real-success/id1608226580?i=1000558608535  - Marissa Peer on being enough & healing childhood wounds https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marisa-peer-on-being-enough-healing-childhood-wounds/id1608226580?i=1000552433781  - Sharing your bravest story with Serena Soo https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sharing-your-bravest-story-with-selena-soo/id1608226580?i=1000560469245    Before you go, I want to make sure you know about my new Burnout Kit.

“Our ego is our teammate.” - Nick Onken A few weeks ago, I explained that I am developing a new process to help entrepreneurs build their personal brands. Today we're diving deeper into this concept of identity alchemy. I want to share with you how I lost myself in my work and eventually found my self-worth in my identity. How do we become who we want to be in this world? What's our message and our legacy? These are important questions to ask when we begin the process of detaching ourselves from our work. Our self-worth cannot stem from our jobs, so how do we redirect it? Early on in my business as a photographer, I had to contend with professional ebbs and flows and learn how to navigate social media. I booked huge campaigns before losing out on other gigs for months at a time. I battled depression. I second-guessed myself. And then I found my self-worth in an arena that was completely separate from my work and I used the process of identity alchemy to do it. Listen in to this episode as I discuss the process of detaching yourself self-worth from your identity, how to rebuild your self-worth, and what action steps I took right before my career took off.

Do you feel like you aren't good enough to reach your dreams?   Regardless of how successful you are, imposter syndrome is something most people experience. Not sure what this is...imposter syndrome is the persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud or an inability to internalize accomplishments.    Drew shares his own experience of being an imposter within his journey of building a 100 person business and then offers actionable tips you can apply to shift your beliefs and step into greatness. Once you step into full calibration, your life can become effortless.    It can be so easy to get caught up in comparing yourself and your accomplishments to those around you, or ahead of you. But this is will only feed your imposter syndrome. Drew offers strategies to accomplish what you want, instead of comparing yourself to others, each day.   Whether you are exploring a new venture, or simply wanting to have more confidence, this episode has something for you!   Key Ideas: Where imposter syndrome stems from within your life, what it actually is and how to move beyond it.   The unconscious impressions on our minds heavily dictate the beliefs we hold around our abilities and worth.   Self-hypnosis has the capacity to powerfully shift your beliefs.   Consistently reaffirm your self-worth.   Comparision is everywhere, and while there are people doing great things, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start.   The competitive society doesn't have to exist, instead of fighting your competitors, help each other out and both grow.   It is hard to have imposter syndrome when you know what is walking on the left and right of you every day.   Quotes:   “There's always this journey of more, this dopamine-centric society that we live in of, you need more of this, you need more of that.” (3:05)   “Get still and let those feelings, you know, identify the feelings. What is it? And then once you have the awareness of it, take it away.“ (6:54)   “Your perception of failure completely shifts. The more centered, the more neutral you become.” (9:59)   “You have your own identity. You're not some cookie-cutter on an assembly line. You can put your own spin on anything that you do. So. And remember every single person was in your place at one point. So regardless of the challenges and the struggles that they were up against, they had to overcome it as well.” (13:12)   “People want to help people, especially genuine people that believe in them” (15:13)   “Oftentimes we try to fix feelings and we can't fix feelings” (15:58)   “You are the director. You're the actor, you're the orchestra playing the music. You're the story, the plot, the narrative, you are the all of your life experience.” (18:46)   Further Resources/Links:   Glen Harold 852Hz Meditation   Ascension Leadership Academy   Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle by Stewart Wilde   @Twitter https://twitter.com/drewcanole @Instargram https://www.instagram.com/drewcanole/ @Facebook https://www.facebook.com/people/Drew-Canole/100044261357988/   Organifi Website: organifi.com/drew Use code DREW for 20% off on your next purchase   Soul CBD: Visit https://pod-mysoulcbd.com/drew and get 15% off your next order!

Co-Founder of Ascension Leadership Academy, Brad Ballard joins the podcast to discuss leadership and high performance living.

For years, Jenna Ballard Phillips did not believe she was worthy of fairytale love, career success or financial abundance. Why would she have believed that? Although she had celebrity clients like Ben Stiller, Katy Perry and others, her low self esteem was blocking everything that mattered. Things had to get really BAD many times in her life before her true light started to shine. A rape, a head injury, brain damage, a coma, a life threatening disease diagnosis, and more… Things happen FOR us, as Jenna states, and those “events” lead her to the committed action of shifting her mindset! She changed her thoughts, and ultimately her elevated self esteem and dreams started to become a reality. TODAY, Jenna is on a mission to motivate and inspire as many people as possible to become leaders and make this world a better place. Jenna is clear that her purpose is to empower others to break through their limiting beliefs and create an unforgettable life. In 2016, she co-founded Ascension Leadership Academy with her husband and together they have coached hundreds of people into their greatness.

How many ideas for your business have you let pass you by, without taking any action? If I had to guess, you probably allow 90% of your ideas to slip right on by, and that needs to stop. The time to take action is NOW, not when you feel “ready.” This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Jenna Phillips Ballard, firmly believes the in the saying, “Don’t Wait. Start now,” and has used it to fuel the momentum in her business. When Jenna was 17 years old, she experienced a head trauma accident which left her in a coma, and with brain damage. When she awoke, her doctor didn’t believe that she’d ever be able to finish high school. Jenna never allowed these negative thoughts cloud her determination to succeed. Jenna dedicated herself to graduate on time. It is all about the mindset and how you look at each event that occurs in your life. It’s time to stop thinking that you’ll have more money, more time or an original idea. Instead, take action NOW on what you do have and have control of! If you’ve ever put a dream business idea on hold because you don’t think you’re ready, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

There is NO bookmarked NO that Jenna received that got her to where she is, and she believes that is because she just shifts and flows with whatever happens. It was when Jenna decided to let fitness go, and to stop commuting to LA regularly, that she was fully able to dedicate herself to getting her online program off the ground. “What's really powerful as entrepreneurs is the opportunity for us to kick our own butts, otherwise it's not going to get done.” ~ Jenna Phillips Ballard Jenna shares that so many entrepreneurs don’t make it because they give up right before they’re about to succeed. But creating your success all comes down to mindset, according to Jenna. This strong driven mindset comes from when Jenna had a traumatic accident, where she was left with brain damage, but she did not let that stop her. Jenna shares a few tips on how to truly commit to yourself, so that you can come out with success on the other side of your struggle. One of the most devastating NO’s that Jenna ever received was when someone she trusted did something that was completely unexpected and broke her trust. She shares more in this episode. This situation is what led Jenna to dedicate herself full-steam ahead to creating Unicorn University. A big part of Jenna’s messaging is that everything happens for us, not to us. She used this philosophy to overcome the anger she was feeling from being betrayed. But, by using her platforms on Facebook and Instagram, she was able to realize that she gets to be empowered and inspired, rather than be a victim. The biggest catalyst in Jenna’s life, she says, is when she was recovering from her head trauma accident. She doesn’t remember everything from this time, but one particular doctor’s appointment stands out - she shares the full story in this episode! When people don’t believe in Jenna, or tell her that she shouldn’t do something, it drives her to do exactly the opposite. She attributes much of her success to this mindset! Jenna shares her practice of creating 10 laws that define your purpose and then using those to drive your life’s work. Jenna shares a story about a couple that she and her husband were friends with. They ended up being scam artists and stole money from other people. This led Jenna to notice all the red flags she had missed. She shares these red flags in this episode. Jenna shares what she would tell her younger self. Connect with Jenna Phillips Ballard: Jenna’s Website Facebook Instagram P.S. You Don’t Have to Risk it All. But You DO Have To Take A Risk.

Jenna Phillips In this episode, Jenna and I got to explore the importance of inviting play into our every day lives. It's so funny, as adults, we become so restricted that we forget we're allowed to have FUN! We also touched on the insane power of language. What we chose to say about our circumstances directly affects our emotional and our physical states. Jenna lives by this concept (I've seen it first hand) and does an amazing job showcasing the benefits as she walks us through some of her life's most traumatic experiences.   About Jenna Phillips Jenna began her career in 2006 as a personal trainer and life coach for celebrities and has been featured on Dr. Phil and The Doctors. Halfway through her career, she realized she had a bigger calling. In 2016, she cofounded Ascension Leadership Academy with her husband and they have coached hundreds of people into their greatness. She's also the founder of Unicorn University - where women never spend another day being beige, broke, or behaved.   In this episode, Jenna shares: How playfulness activates higher levels of possibilities in life. Using food and clothes as physical barriers for safety. Loving hurtful parts of the past and using them as tools to strengthen the present. How her Unicorn University encourages women to be who they want.   What You'll Hear:  5:10-The healing powers of allowing yourself to break down. 9:46- The direct connection our language and our experiences. 15:05- How Jenna cultivated and strengthened a mindset of abundance. 24:00- Using forgiveness to release shame around traumatic experiences.   You can find more of Jenna at:  http://jennaphillipsballard.com http://www.facebook.com/jennaphillipsballard http://www.instagram.com/jennaphillipsballard   Join the Hungry For Happiness community for more! www.facebook.com/hungryforhappiness
