The Power Your Purpose is the focus of this episode of the Sedona Soul Sisters show. Focus on living one's purpose while avoiding the pitfalls of the ego's influence. It emphasizes that living a purposeful life goes beyond the quest for importance or external achievements, highlighting that purpose is fundamentally a state of being rather than doing. Christel shares insights on the unhealthy ego that distracts from true purpose through ceaseless pursuit of something 'more' or 'different', suggesting instead to anchor in the qualities of being present, love, and embodying soul gifts regardless of the task at hand. The show discusses the concept of 'soul assignments' as moments or tasks that challenge the ego, thereby revealing deeper layers of one's purpose. Christel also shares personal experiences of taking over Sedona Soul Sisters, explaining how aligning with the soul's guidance rather than ego led to smooth transitions and realization of her purpose. You can book a Purpose Session with Christel at www.SedonaSoulSisters.comin Sedona https://sedonasoulsisters.as.me/Coaching-CounselingVirtual Session: https://sedonasoulsisters.com/christel/00:00 Introduction to Living Your Purpose01:54 Understanding the Ego Traps of Purpose03:13 The Importance of Being in Living Your Purpose03:58 The Role of Unhealthy Ego in Purpose05:12 Purpose as a State of Being07:07 The Concept of Soul Assignment10:19 The Interplay of Soul Assignment and Purpose10:43 The Existential Crisis of Purpose12:41 The Power of Being in the Present Moment21:33 The Role of Guidance in Living Your Purpose27:22 Conclusion: The Power of Being First in Living Your PurposeA production of The Sedona Soul Sisters Tune in next week for another dynamic episode.Support the showThe Sedona Soul Sisters Show is lively discussions on spiritual, metaphysical, paranormal and healing topics.

It's our 20th Anniversary! In this special commemorative episode, take an exhilarating ride back to some of the earliest SEO and search marketing days as I sit down with our founder Loren Baker.

Our primary goal was to expand SEJ's reach. Despite the various changes, one thing has remained constant – our commitment to continuous experimentation. –Loren Baker, 17:17 When I used to write, my natural inclination was to include a summary or an implication section in the post. I would explore questions such as: 'What does this information mean for marketers?', 'How can this be integrated into your SEO campaign?' or 'How can you incorporate this into your daily tasks?  –Loren Baker, 15:34 Some of my favorite shows are those where we've invited day-to-day marketers, mainly in-house marketers, to share their experiences. They discuss how things are working from an enterprise perspective and in-house. Even when I used to attend a lot of conferences, I particularly enjoyed the in-house or enterprise-oriented sessions. As a consultant or agency representative, it helped me understand the thought processes, challenges and struggles in-house marketers face, which improved my communication with clients and sales. –Loren Baker, 24:54   [00:00] - Origin and Initial Vision of the Search Engine Journal [07:15] - Key Changes in SEO Since Launching SEJ [11:33] - Impact of Social Media Rise on SEO Strategy [15:34] - Applying SEO News to Marketing Campaigns [16:31] - Importance of Experimentation in SEO and Marketing [17:17] - Growth and Evolution of SEJ with Alpha Brand Media [18:29] - Learning from Past Mistakes and Wrong Decisions [20:22] - Maintaining SEJ's Editorial Integrity and Accuracy [21:12] - Keeping SEJ Relevant Amidst AI Advancements [24:02] - Most Impactful Interview Conducted on the Podcast [27:04] - Evolution of Challenges Faced by Marketers [30:40] - Impact of AI and SGE on SEO's Future [32:02] - Debunking the Myth: Is SEO Dead?

Pastor Denny points to Principle or Circumstance, People in Need, The Seat of Honor, and Being First. Are you ready to truly be a follower of Christ? We invite you to say a simple prayer to ask Christ into your life and to live life to the full in Christ. Let us know if todays message was meaningful to you; we would love to hear from you.

"The first viable vendor to reach a decision maker & set the buying vision has an average close ratio of 74%” [Source: Forrester] On today’s “Sales Prospecting by the Numbers” discussion we focus on “The Unfair Advantage of Being First” as our primary topic. We unpack this statistic a bit and provide 3 specific tips on how to put yourself in the best position to be the first sales professional to reach your target market prospects before they reach out to other sales professionals. If you are struggling to come up with creative ideas on how to connect with prospects to reach them just before (or right as) they are entering their buying journey, then you will want to listen to this episode.  

Andrew Johnson sits down with Agile Amped at the Change Management 2016 conference to discuss conscious change leadership and why some leaders simply can't bring themselves to fully engage in their own change initiatives because of deep-seated internal biases. Some pragmatic leaders don't think that personal development is important to their ability to lead, which Andrew suggests is a product of our classic leader development culture: as you rise in the ranks and become leaders, they perceive their work as "more about blessing and delegating, as opposed to actively participating." These leaders may feel that, by getting their hands dirty and rubbing shoulders with the people of their company to effect change, they are somehow betraying everything they did to become leaders in the first place. In his work, Andrew helps leaders figure out why they resist engaging as a sponsor and how to overcome that to become better leaders.  Andrew Johnson is a Senior Change Consultant at Being First, Inc. He is a pioneer in breakthrough approaches to multi-stakeholder collaboration on large-scale infrastructure change projects, and consultants to executives on major transformational change projects across industries and countries.  SolutionsIQ's William Rowden hosts at Change Management 2016 (http://www.acmpconference.com/Join-Us).

Being First has focused on designing and leading transformational change for 40 years. CEO Dean Anderson has been watching Agile grow in the past decade or so and has come to recognize its value. Dean says that change management and Agile share similar values and philosophies in "how to drive high performance in individuals, teams and organizations". In his work, Dean focuses primarily on two areas: leadership mindset and behaviors and the process design for the transformation journey. On the topic of leadership and change he says, "There's a direct correlation between the success of the organization's transformation and the transformation of the leadership, because they're either enabling or blocking the transformation." Therefore an organization's transformation truly begins when the leadership and executives are aware of the change they themselves have to experience on an individual level.

Insights are ways of being -- a look into the mindset, culture, and values that the organization wants to espouse. Linda Ackerman Anderson of Being First says it's important to attach mindset, culture and behavior to real business results because that is what ultimately sustains the business transformation. Linda walks us through the nine-phase methodology that she uses to help organizations transform. "We're looking broadly across the entire organization [to find] what's out of place for the achievement of the outcome that we want and what has to be realigned."
