Have you ever felt lost in your own life? Wondering who you truly are beneath all the roles and expectations? How do you rediscover yourself and build the confidence to live authentically? In this inspiring episode, I am joined by Leah Beltz, a passionate Co-Active coach and skilled facilitator with over 23 years of experience across global organizations. She is the founder of Honor The Space and creates a space for people to feel seen, heard, challenged, and supported in their growth, helping them live with more clarity, confidence, and connection to their purpose.  Today, Leah shares her journey of self-discovery, how she found her authentic self through The DigⓇ method, and how she now helps others do the same. She discusses the importance of knowing your history to understand your path, the unique process of The DigⓇ, and how creating space for yourself and others can lead to personal growth. Leah's story is one of overcoming fear, embracing vulnerability, and stepping into her true self. Listen now to start your journey toward living a more authentic and confident life! --- Listen to the podcast here: Rediscovering Your Authentic Self To Thrive with Leah Beltz Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. I'm a big fan of music. I'm a particularly big fan of Pitbull, I listened to his Globalization channel on XM Radio. I'm a fan of him as a person as well. He has a lot of things he says on the channel, one of them is if you don't know where you're coming from, you don't know where you're going. Similar to what Bob Marley said, when you know your history then you know where you're coming from. And so I want to talk to you today about a process that I underwent several months ago around kind of taking my life experience, my life story and trying to distill it down into kind of an easily digestible piece of information for me to keep with me, and there's a process called The Dig that was administered to me by my guest today, Leah Beltz, the founder of Honor Your Space. ---   Leah, welcome to the program.    Hi, Stephen, welcome. It's nice to be here again.    Yeah, it's wonderful to have you. And, first of all, tell us a little bit about The Dig, since I kind of started that whole thing. I know you're a facilitator, you've worked with a lot of clients on this program.    I can give you a short answer and I can give you a long answer. The short answer, if I were to describe it in only two words, I would describe The Dig as self-discovery. So similar to what you said with Pitbull, kind of understanding where you've come from to understand where you're going. I would say the longer version of that, The Dig is a one-on-one facilitated method of self-discovery that helps you get epic clarity on who you are and how you operate so that you can then live with more confidence and connection to your life's purpose.    So, we're talking about clients here and people who have had a lot of life experiences because most people do and most people have a lot of things they've gone through in life that just ends up being confusing, because it's like, “Why this? Why that?” So, what's the journey, the customer journey, for anyone who speaks product, around that person who comes to you and just like, “Okay, well, I had this happen, I had that happen, and I've had these experiences, and WTF?”?   Right. What I love about The Dig, what makes it unique is the actual process that we go through. So, I want to acknowledge there are a lot of tools and processes like this. The Simon Sinek Find Your Why or the Pursuit of Happiness, all these different things, but what makes The Dig unique is the process which we go through and it's done through a matter of storytelling and reflection and it's all based on capturing different words, so it involves language and we capture words throughout the conversation and then those words, I work with the client,

Send us a Text Message.Discover the concept of peaceful productivity ( yes, I did come up with that term :) where you can accomplish tasks that truly matter to you, align with your goals, and experience a sense of tranquility throughout the process. It may sound like a wild idea, considering our society's obsession with constant production and work. As a Co-Active coach I am always speaking about the importance of accomplishing our goals AND doing so in a way that feels good for us. For me, peaceful is always a great way to feel and BE. And, that's how peaceful productivity was born as my mantra. Over a decade ago, I realized that I thrive when I strike a balance between both feeling productive and peaceful simultaneously. In this episode, join me on my personal journey towards embracing peaceful productivity, not just through contemplation and discussion, but through practical implementation. Prepare to enjoy an engaging story and take home valuable tools to master this skill that has often gone overlooked until now.A very special thank you to my mentor and friend Monica Hanson for inspiring me to see that I have in fact embraced this mantra, after many years of practice.

My guest today is Jen Lumanlan host of the popular podcast, Your Parenting Mojo, and author of the book Parenting Beyond Power: How to Use Connection and Collaboration to Transform Your Family - and the World.    After attending Berkeley and Yale and following a traditional career path in sustainability consulting, Jen found that parenting was her toughest challenge yet. She went back to school for a master's degree in psychology focused on child development and another in education, and trained as a Co-Active coach to share what she learned with other parents.   In the book, she shares about her own struggles as a child and a content warning here for bereavement and discussion of disordered eating. For my listeners who are people of the global majority, the book is written from the perspective of a white parent grappling with unlearning the use of dominance and other more subtle aspects of white supremacy culture. In this conversation, it does take a minute to get around to stating explicitly that white parents do not have the same parents as parents who are Black, or Indigenous or Asian or other oppressed identities. I want to assure you we do get around to that and also that it is front and centre throughout the book, and it's handled with nuance. It's an excellent book for folks who are actively seeking or maybe just starting to be curious about how to dismantle systems of oppression and unhook from supremacy culture and the use of dominance and coercion at the family and relational level.   Here's how you can get Jen's book through a gift economy approach: https://yourparentingmojo.com/book/ References Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication, Meenadchi Needy: How to Advocate for your Needs and Claim your Sovereignty, Mara Glatzel My Collapse 101 course is included with membership in The Numinous Network Stacy Lee Kong of Friday Things explains the coercive control at work in the Jonah Hill/Sarah Brady text exchange My social media post/explainer on coercive control Why Giving Choices Doesn't Work And What To Do Instead, Your Parenting Mojo Podcast Dismantling White Supremacy Culture in our Families, Amanda Gross White Supremacy Culture, Tema Okun Zawn Villines on Facebook and their substack, Liberating Motherhood: For mothers who are pissed off about sexism, household chore inequality, and endless misogynistic bullshit, and for the allies who want a better world for all of us How to Get Away with Parenting with Malaika Dowler Pervasive Drive for Autonomy, Tomlin Wilding No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism, Chris Niebauer   Like this episode?

After she got her MBA and became a global consultant for a human capital management solutions provider, Jessica consistently saw highly-stressed leaders failing to deliver against lofty financial goals. She knew that if these leaders could transform their cultures, performance and profitability would follow. But, because culture is often viewed as 'woo' and an intangible, these leaders didn't know where to begin. So, Jessica set out on a personal mission to 'quantify culture'. Her unique ability to analyze organizations in qualitative and quantitative terms and create measurable growth across all levels has made her the go-to ally for global leaders and teams.

In this episode, I am joined by Emma Jack, physiotherapist and coach, to discuss her journey from burnout to breakthrough. Emma was overwhelmed and unsatisfied with her career path until a panic attack in 2016 led her to reflect and make a change. Emma decided to take a step back and focus on herself to build a more sustainable, fulfilling career. This is her story and her advice for other healthcare practitioners.   Show notes:    00:05:17 Check in with yourself. 00:12:17 Fill yourself up first, serve others. 00:17:05 Take time for yourself. 00:26:28 Our worth is not outcomes. 00:30:49 Take care of yourself. 00:40:22 Lean into your true self. 00:40:40 Stay curious and evolve.   More About Emma:   Emma is a sport and orthopedic physiotherapist and owns her own practice Press Play  Physiotherapy and Pilates in London, Ontario, Canada. She holds a Masters of Physiotherapy as well  as a Masters of Clinical Science, has her Sport Physiotherapy Diploma, is a Fellow of the Academy of  Manual and Manipulative Physical Therapy and is a lead therapist with the Canadian National  Women's Hockey Team.  Sounds pretty cool, right? While those accomplishments and credentials do bring a sense of pride,  Emma also recognizes that many of those things are ultimately what left her feeling intense anxiety,  chronic stress, overwhelm and burnt out. Her credentials may span two lines on a business card, but  in recent years Emma has totally transformed her practice and life in order to ensure that her  accomplishments no longer define her. Now, much of her time is spent working as a Co-Active  coach helping other clinicians show up fully for their lives and careers in a way that feels authentic,  sustainable and most importantly, fun!   Resources from this Episode:    Emma's Resources Website Instagram Twitter   Subscribe to Healthy, Wealthy & Smart: Website:                      https://podcast.healthywealthysmart.com Apple Podcasts:          https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-wealthy-smart/id532717264 Spotify:                        https://open.spotify.com/show/6ELmKwE4mSZXBB8TiQvp73 SoundCloud:               https://soundcloud.com/healthywealthysmart Stitcher:                       https://www.stitcher.com/show/healthy-wealthy-smart iHeart Radio:               https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-healthy-wealthy-smart-27628927

Coaching is an approach to learning and personal and professional growth that creates self--awareness, drives transformational change, and provides much needed support and an appropriate level of challenge. Some executives have the opportunity to engage professional coaches who are outside of their organization and chain-of-command, and have no loyalties beyond their professional commitment to their clients. Unfortunately, the services of these professional coaches are often expensive and available only to senior executives or high-potential leaders being groomed for the top ranks of an organization. Today we're talking about how managers can be coaches and bring that benefits of coaching to their team members. We're also talking about how it's a great way build a deeper relationship with the folks on our team and truly get to know them as people–not just a means of production. And there are all sorts of benefits when that happens. In fact, everyone benefits from coaching when managers become coaches. On this Episode You'll Learn How coaching humanizes the workplace How coaching is different than managing, mentoring, performance management, and therapy The business case for workplace coaching The three keys to effective coaching as managers Guest's Bio Jeremiah Shaw, the President of Strata Consulting, has a genuine desire to understand others' stories, explore their challenges, and connect them with the resources that support their vision. With the power of positivity and a joyfully mischievous spirit, Jeremiah enjoys helping his clients clarify and enact a full, purposeful life by defining their value-driven vision, professionally, organizationally, and personally. Along with a deep passion for both nonprofits and sales, Jeremiah also possesses a master's degree in Organizational and Global Leadership from York University and a B.S. in Industrial Safety from the University of Central Oklahoma. As an ACC Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and a Co-Active trained coach, he can't help but push those around him to maximize their potential. As a coach, Jeremiah believes that you need to know yourself, accept yourself, and define yourself! Purpose. Values. Direction. Action. Jeremiah lives a very full life with his wife and three children in the quiet town of Clark, Colorado, where the population sign reads with a bold “?.” When not serving clients or spending time with family, Jeremiah will be found wandering the wilderness with his two golden retrievers, Birdie, and Trout, fly-fishing, hunting, mountain biking, skiing, or writing. If it has to do with adventure or family, he is there.   Links for This Episode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiah-shaw-mol-acc-50607532/ https://strataleadership.com/scwc   Connect with Dr. Mike:  Website: https://www.drmikepatterson.com Book: https://www.missionfirstpeoplealwaysbook.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaellpatterson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealdrmikepatterson/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drmikepatterson Buy The Book!: Mission First People Always Episode Minute By Minute: 0:02 What's inside today's episode  1:50 Why we do this podcast 3:00 Get to know Coach Jeremiah Shaw 5:01 How Jeremiah learned how to coach and lead 9:31 The Strata Consulting mission and purpose  11:30 How employee expectations are changing 15:40 How coaching solves problems  17:00 The real role of every leader 19:25 Unlocking your team's potential  23:34 The character traits of great coaches 26:13 Jeremiah's metric for success  27:58 How you can become a coach 31:31 Jeremiah's tips to become a better leader
