Together, Cheryl and Dr. Ortiz debunk common myths about RA and tackle important topics like medication hesitancy, lifestyle interventions, and the balance between the two. Dr. Ortiz reassures listeners that while factors like nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management can help, “just because lifestyle can help doesn't mean lifestyle caused it.”They also discuss how to make the most of your doctor's appointments—because being prepared can help you feel more confident and in control. Plus, they dive into the emotional side of living with a chronic illness and the uncertainty that comes with it.

The only thing we truly have & own are our words. I've recently grown in my understanding and appreciation for embracing the gravitas of the gift this platform has been in my life to share wisdom from my own life experiences and cultivate a growth-minded community. The ability to share information is more readily accessible in this digital age and with this ability comes a great responsibility to understand the evolution of language and its powerful potential to connect us. While I share the essence of living a life grounded in love, connection, and mindful intention, it's important to note that sometimes our words can fail to capture the full scope of meaning we're trying to convey. This is especially true when it comes to complex subject matter such as love, truth, and spirituality. Today on the blog & podcast, we are going to dive into the evolution of language and explore 5 ways mindful speech can enhance our communication and connection.

Seeing people around me glued to their telephones prompted me to think about communication and connection. Communication and connection are not the same. Communication is the first step but not the last. Most of us today suffer today from lack of connection. Music connects. Making music connects us with our hearts. Playing with others connects us to ourselves and to each other. You don't have to be professional players in order to do it; you don't even need to play well... We need to develop the awareness to the way we use devices and screens. If we connect to each other at least as much as we connect to our devices, we'd be happier. A short moment of connection creates a huge change in people's hearts and brains. * * * * If you like the podcast, please subscribe to it, share it with your friends, leave a comment and rating in Apple podcast (or wherever you get your podcast) and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠join our list ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to get notified when a new episode is on air.

Vigor Life Podcast · EP125:The Power Of Communication, Connection & Coaching In Training & PT w/Dr.Michael Mash & HIDEF This is a comeback episode for the Vigor Life Podcast and I couldn't be more excited to bring it back and share my own knowledge, experience and insights again, as well as bring on the best guests to educate, entertain, and inspire. This first episode I sat down with Dr. Michael Mash of Barbell Rehab, as well as our partners Zach and Mitch from HIDEF Physical Therapy. We were hosting Michael for the Barbell Certification at Vigor Ground this weekend with over 40 attendees. Barbell Rehab was created by Dr. Michael Mash, Physical Therapist and Barbell Coaching Expert to help fitness and rehab professionals improve their management of clients with pain or mobility limitations. He received his Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2016 from Duquesne University and his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Saint Vincent College in 2014. In this episode we go over training limitations for clients and how to adjust for them, biggest issues we see when it comes to coaching, and then we dig deep into the power of communication when it comes to results, collaboration of coaches and physical therapists, the future of integration with training and PT facilities, and much more. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: => What are the biggest reasons people beat up their joints when they train and how does that need to improve. => Why the devil is in the dosage and one of the MAIN reasons for injuries and nagging pains. => What are the obstacles when it comes to rehab and physical therapy, of getting someone back to high performance rather than just out of pain. => The art of finding the right variation for the client is a superpower. => How to increase your value as a coach by collaborating with physical therapists. => Learning the skillset of eliminating “threat” with clients that had injuries and are afraid of certain patterns. => Why you should listen to “whispers” of your body so they don't become “screams.” => The future of physical therapy is proactive and not reactive, and the integration of training and PT in any business. => Changing the fear of physical therapists loading their clients when they are rehabbing and coming back to action. => How to use trust, communication, and safety to improve your clients performance - with specific examples. => Why sales and marketing will make you a much better coach and physical therapist. = > How ONE set can cause a big psychological adaptation for your clients, do this! => The “Hospitality Reflex” in personal training and physical therapy and why it's what the top 1% do. => How to build trust as a trainer or PT and not only face to face, but also through social media, organically, in your community to build a referral machine. => Why you MUST hunt for feedback with your business, and constantly strive to improve.

Communication doesn't explain all challenging behavior in students with autism. What if behavior related to anxiety or sensory input gets reinforced inside the body? Those students who function in the average to above-average range still face hurdles, and one of them is an increased rate of anxiety and depression. In this episode, I discuss how you can address those with communication responses in your functional behavior assessment. 5:12​ - The conversation with an Academy member that got me thinking 8:28 - The tricky nature of proper behavior analysis for students with anxiety disorders 11:14 - Keep this in mind when attempting to fit anxiety into the functional behavior analysis process 13:46 - An example of a behavior hypothesis for the FBA that takes anxiety into account 17:14 - Further illustrating why behavior and communication aren't always necessarily the same Grab the transcript, freebie and resource links at http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode124 Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library... http://library.autismclassroomresources.com Want more information about the Special Educator Academy?

You've more than likely heard the old story about what it means when a boy pulls a girl's pigtails, right? I bet many of you were skeptical when someone first told you that that behavior was a form of communication and made it sound like an okay thing. And while it isn't okay, there is a very strong connection between communication and behavior. Since May is Better Speech and Hearing Month, I'm switching gears and making this month's podcast theme about the connection between communication and behavior. In this episode, I share some of the research I've found about how communication impacts behavior, how behavior grows out of communication deficits, and what all that means for intervention purposes. 4:42​ - What research shows about the development of communicative intentions of children in the past 50 years 6:40 - Why language-impaired kids show more behavior problems than other kids their age 9:22 - Why some with developmental disabilities experience a decrease in problem behavior 10:22 - Why it's not enough to teach students just any communication skills 11:08 - A quick rundown of what functional communication training is Join us inside the Special Educators Academy for your 7 day free trial.

hello. Hello, vitality seekers, this is your host Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Natasha Wiebe and International Life Strategist and the founder of Fix Your life solutions. She grew up with polar opposite parents and household as the youngest sibling to neuro diverse and different physically abled foster siblings. She experienced many perspectives early on. She became fascinated with relationship dynamics through all of this, and she studied psychology and also bartended through her education, which is an education all in itself. She questioned her patrons while they were still with their partners when they were so unhappy. She then became a certified ICF Coach. And NLP Practitioner has spoken at and hosted workshops, volunteered with at-risk youth and those who have been sexually assaulted or abused and taught them how to reclaim their minds. Natasha has worked with people such as JT Fox and Jillian Michaels. Natasha has a huge passion for helping people to understand one another and to be understood, so their homes are filled with happiness, confidence, love, and this world is one of kindness, acceptance and peace. Welcome to the Vitality Feed, Natasha. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. I have a daughter who was a bartender. There's a lot of interesting information that you can learn about how the mind works during those vocations. Tell us a little bit about your background, especially with growing up in such a diverse environment. Yeah. So it was two different households. On my dad's side, I was an only child who was very old school farmer, John Wayne kind of personality. And then on my mom's side, she was very new agey. I had my, yeah, my foster siblings. I have an adopted sister from Guatemala. I have bio and step siblings. So I really got to learn how to communicate with each person individually. Um, especially with neurodiversity and different physically abled. We learned sign language before we learned English, because it's a lot easier for infants to communicate through body language versus verbal. So those micro facial expressions, the body language, all of that, I was so in tune with even as early as five years old. It just spurred, spurred this whole life and people go, oh, what got you into? I'm like, literally my whole life has been geared towards relationships, connection, communication, and the aspects of confidence came into play. With the different challenges, of course, having two polar opposite parents, um, who had different focuses as well. Like I said, my dad had his farm. There was always something to fix on it. He was working full time. My mom had my different siblings who I helped out with. They had their own insecurities. Now my, one of my adopted sister and my bio sister are the same age. But because one's neurodiverse and has some learning difficulties and the other one would be what we call neuro-typical.  I remember one year her asking me and going, you know, why is so-and-so and I so different, we're the same age? Even her ability to pick out and notice that there were challenges. And so it's like, okay, How do we communicate? How do we empower? Especially people who are neurodiverse and who have different abilities. Because even if, you know, it's the same way in school, even if someone doesn't have say books smarts, there's street smarts, there's emotional IQ. Like there's all these different skills and talents we have. But because we're not the same as someone else. Sometimes we can internalize that. I love that I have to interject something. I you're the first person who has ever verbalize that because I always say the same thing. Smart is n interesting term. There's so many facets, you can be smart in one thing and not smart, nothing that doesn't make you smarter than the other person somebody could, you know, get on jeopardy and kill it. But that doesn't necessarily. You know, if you got on a stranded island that they're gonna survive better than somebody. You know what I'm saying? So everybody has their knowledge base, one's not better than the other. It's just different. Absolutely. One of my closest friends has three kids and they all think so differently. And because of that, they don't always get along, but one is very strategic, very book-smart like ha incredible mind, the way that they perceive things and everything. Another, the youngest is so creative and the ability to draw, the aspects that she picks out of life. And so they get along very differently because they don't understand the way. Right. There's the middle child who has the most amazing heart. And it's just, again, a person who's very, very quiet, not very book-smart. And when it comes to she, I guess, but heart compassion, the concepts that they pick out and I'm like, you three might not get along right now, but I'm like, but when you learn how to understand each other's perspectives and work together on it, you three are going to change the world. And they'll have that diversity of experiencing that and, and those relationship building skills of all the years growing up to be able to handle when they get to be an adult, all the diversity that's out there that they're gonna, meet every single day. And I think that, you and I were talking about relationship building as well. And part of that has to go to communication, you know, to not deny people's experience or perspective, just because it's not one a say the most typical or natural modality, it's the same way as people talk about. VAX, uh, VAX as  in visual auditory, kinesthetic, you know, which way that we see the world. Some people are very visual. I were to get you to explain a story and say, and you, and I'd be like, oh, did you like, can you see how that would happen? You, if you're not visual, that question might not resonate for you. Absolutely. If you are kinesthetic and I go, do you don't you just get that sense of, and when you say it like that, if a person's kinesthetic, they're going to understand it. But if a person's visual they're like, well, no, I don't feel like that's not my go-to modality. So, it's all these different aspects of personality, of learning of world interaction. You make a valid point about all the different ways. And I think that is problematic in school systems.  Things need to be taught in all the various ways people absorb. I'm a very visual learner, I have an art background but I had a difficult time in school. I did. Okay. But, um, it wasn't until college where I figured out how I needed to learn. Um, and pick teachers just don't provide the different types of learning. Most teachers teach through auditory. Like sometimes it's visual through drawings and things, but very rarely is it kinesthetic and most people are kinesthetic learners. It is a problem. Cause I think that's why a lot of kids just struggle so much in school. I know that you have, a three-part foundations of relationship program; trust, confidence, and communication. Can we talk a little bit about the trust factor? Absolutely. So they all go hand in hand trust. What a lot of people struggle with trust is that they don't trust themselves. They experienced an event. And they blame themselves for not being able to handle it or for getting themselves into that situation when really each and every person does the absolute best they can in that given moment. And you know, when you get into a, we'll say a discussion or debate with someone, and then sometimes it's an argument. But afterwards you leave that discussion and it's like, I could have said this. I could have said that, or I shouldn't. And there's all these could've should've would've right.  There's also when people react to a say trauma or stress, right. Stress shuts down the brain's ability to think it goes into fight flight freeze or fawn, fawn being people. And all of those are perfectly natural responses. The thing is once we get out of that adrenaline, We go, well, that's not how I typically act. Well, no, because your brain basically went down to its most basic function of survival. Right? So whenever you need it to survive. So when it comes to trust, a lot of that has to come to trusting ourselves. Which again, ties into confidence. If we have confidence in ourselves, we're going to trust ourselves in the decisions. Um, and then we also have the ability to trust other people more.Cause we know what, how that's like, we know how we experienced that. Again, if we don't have proper communication with other people, there's going to be a sense of mistrust because something's misunderstood. Right. So if, if you and I were having a discussion and I'm telling this story and you don't fully understand it, but you don't have the confidence to be like, Hey, did you mean this? So one of my favorite recommendations for people to check in with someone is if you don't understand something. Or if, if you're offended by something instead of reacting right away, come from the space of, and ask the question. What was your intention with that statement? Or what was your intention with that action?By asking the intention, we then get to be able to clarify what that person's real meaning is because most people are not trying to tear down another.  That is such an awesome piece of information, I want to put this on a billboard, so many arguments would be ruled out like the amount of happiness that that could inspire if everyone, oh, that just blew my mind. If everyone did that, just clarified what peoples, especially with texts, And, um, I have a good friend, Rory shout out to him that he's been pushing me to do audible texting because this way, your voice messages, vocally, your inflections are heard, and the message usually gets delivered better than the message would if you just texted out. Cause a lot of times that can be portrayed in a bad. Yeah,  I find that my sentences tend to be quite blunt or abrupt. And whether that's because of sign language and there's not a word for every single thing signed for every single word, uh, or. When you're communicating with neurodiverse people to it's typically basic very, to the point sentences. So I love voice notes and audible messages because yeah, people can hear my smile. They can hear my laughter. Whereas when I text her, like that person was a, B TCH.  I agree, but I grew up in a household with communication. I was almost on the comedy level because nobody ever listened, nobody cared about their words and everything got miscommunicated. It was just a given, it was literally just a given. Boy, I can't imagine growing up as everybody understood and actually put that into action. It'd be completely a opposite. Well, not to mention that we're also only at the moment talking about people who are speaking the same languages, right? When we, when we start to include people who have English as a second language or who have different cultures. So one, one example being I was at. Beautiful. Three-day business coaching event. There was about 30 of us. There was one woman, such an amazing spirit, absolutely adored her. We got along so well the last day. And, and I was, I was watching her. She was just going from, you know, each person chatting a little bit, and each person was lighting up. When, when she came over to them, I refer to those as energy givers. Yeah, well, and so she came over to me and I was like, I appreciate you so much. I was like, you remind me of this beautiful butterfly and a weird look crossed her face. And she was like, thank you. And, and I caught the little. But at the same time, I was like, well, I also don't want to check and be like, you got a weird look on your face. Thankfully. So this was the last day of the workshop, but thankfully she trusted me enough that as we were leaving the hotel the next morning and checking out and she comes up to me, she's like, I have to ask you something. What did you mean when you called me a buttercup? And so I told her, I was like, because you know, when, when you're going to each person, you bring, you have this grace and this beauty, and when a person sees you, they laid up and she's like, oh yeah, in Chinese culture, it means a slut. Oh, my gosh. That's hysterical. I did not know that. That is such a perfect example story. Like you can't get any more perfect than that. Holy, I had been like her husband was there. She's very conservative, but she'd been married for like 12 years at this. And I was like, and I just had to say it, as soon as it got over my shock, I was like, thank you so much for, for checking in and asking me and trusting me to ask. I was like, I would have never known. And you would have thought that I was insulting you in some way. So, yeah. Wow. You know, it's so funny because when we had that talking point of trust, Nothing that I had envisioned came up.  The first thing he was talking about, trusting yourself, who thinks of that, that is beautiful. Always better to look inward than outward because people are so much more tempted to blame others. So that was really neat. And then such a great nugget to clarify what people's statement or questions are their intentions. Um, Gosh, I love that so much. So our second talking point here is confidence. Talk to me a little about that. Yeah. So when a person has inner confidence again. So for me, I always focus on building the relationship with ourselves because, and happy and empowered person does not tear down another. And so we get to create change by, and this kind of goes to my, my signature has tags, um, fix their life, or sorry, fix your life. Fix. Yep. And this goes to when, when people are confident, they raise confident, empower children because they know how to build up. And so with confidence when it comes to inner confidence, again and again, the three of these tied together. So when it goes to trust, but confidence ourselves is about knowing our core values and living. So when we know our core values, it's that inner sense of integrity. So for example, my three core values are determined, curious, and true. These three things come across in everything I do. And even if something doesn't go according to plan, say I have good intentions and I try and help a friend. But they don't receive it that way. And I go, okay, well, I was curious about solutions. I was acting true to myself and I was determined to help them, you know, or I was determined to at least try and find solutions. And so when anything that we do, if we. If we act from our own internal values, that gives us confidence. Because again, even if something doesn't work out, like if we chose one job over another, well, that one aligned with my values. It didn't work out in the end, but at least I was as true to myself as I could be. And now I just take those lessons moving forward. The moment that confidence breaks down is when we step out of integrity. So when we step out of integrity with ourselves and this can be when we're settling in relationships, you know? So if we accept a partner saying that's so stupid, why would you do that? You know, if I have confidence, I'm not going to tolerate someone speaking to me like that. And if I'm living of my own values, I'm going to stay true to myself and I'm going to be like, okay, you can ask how silly that was, or you can ask me why I would do that because it doesn't make sense to you, but in no way, will I ever accept or tolerate being called stupid or having stupid referred to me? Because again, we all think differently. We all have different experiences and perspectives, right? Part of that is having the confidence and also setting those boundaries. Each kind of nugget, so that trust, confidence and communication, each of those breakdowns come into their own three separate individuals too. So when it comes to confidence, typically, it's what are someone's values?  Helps them set their boundaries. And it's about knowing the roles. We play, the roles that we enjoy playing the roles that we tolerate playing and the ones we don't like. So roles of all sorts. If you think of a parent, you know, they are a parent, they are a partner, their mentor, their taxi driver chauffer me. So there's all these different components and who we act with our partner is not going to be the same that we act towards our boss or our employee. So none of those are any less authentic. They're just different facets of her personality.  Again, part of that is being clear on the roles that we play. Are we attributing certain characteristics? You know, when it comes to say a certain coworker, am I putting myself as less than because of an insecurity or am I raising myself to be an equal. When it comes to, say a boss, am I allowing myself to be treated as less than, or to be talked down to? And what type of role do I need to adapt in order to make sure that that's still an empowering one that is very true, a hundred percent I'm right there with you.   Gosh,  I don't think most people think about, I mean, I guess that's why you're here. Right? Most people do not go down these avenues in thought they don't think about this process. And then the last part is communication, which I just think is pretty much the key to life. Because if you don't communicate well, which I think is just heading down such a horrible path, more in this generation than any other, just because of people hide behind their phones and the laptops. We talked about before you don't get. Choose those of the inflections in your voice or  the nonverbal communication so it makes it a lot harder. People can falsify information a lot. And a lot of people aren't confident to be themselves. So yeah, it truly is a breakdown, so you are very much needed, but what are some things, that can aid in communication? Communication, so again, it goes to intentions. It goes in to knowing people's modalities. If you can find out what the people that you're closest with, whether they are visual auditory, kinesthetic, you kind of look for those keywords and that can be challenging to do if you're not trained. So that definitely helped by working with someone, if you are struggling with a relationship. The other aspect is love languages. People look at love languages as just for romantic. But if there's a friendship that I really want to nourish, I want to know their love language so that I can show them that they're appreciated. That they're important to me, same thing with our kids. If we know their love language, when they're really stressed out, we know how to speak to them, and we know how to communicate in a way that they're going to receive that love or appreciation. Another part of it. One of my favorite things to get clients to do is. If they find that there's a word that their partner is saying quite often, is asking what they, what their partner feels the opposite of that word is? So for example, And I just went through this exercise and, it was really interesting. So, I asked a friend or doing this, doing a journaling exercise, and I was thinking about family and I was like, okay, so what, what does family really boil down to for me? Like what would be the one word that I would associate as its synonym? Or it's equivalent. And it wasn't until that I realized that the opposite of family to me is isolation and the synonym is belonging. Because I found that when I was thinking of family, I wasn't just thinking of my immediate family. I was also thinking of my clients, my friends, the support team. And so this is, so it was community. Again, community boil down to belonging. When I asked my friend, I was like, okay, what, what would you say is the equivalent of family and what is the opposite to you? And so they said that the opposite of family is disconnect and the synonym would be unity, which is really interesting because when I had also done this exercise for the word relationships, those were the two words that I had for relationships. Wow. That is wild. But I love that exercise. Like we all need to implement this. So that is really neat.  Something that I don't do, but I definitely am going to try to implement. I actually heard another neat little strategy this morning.  During, during a podcast I was listening to, and they said that you, when you think about people  try to come up with 10 positive things about them. And I think it would be a really cool challenge if everybody like two, a day, two people a day and find 10 positive things about them. And  things like that, communicating well and your intentions and thinking of people in a better way. It just all adds up to good relationships, which is what you are all about. So last question is our signature question.  If there was one thing in this world, that you could remove from this earth forever, what would it be? I would say insecurity because again, when insecurity removed, you don't have greed. You don't have someone trying to control other people. You don't have worse being started because everyone's just happy with what they have and with helping other people, because there's no need to compete. There's no need to compare, there's no need to hoard. So I would say insecurity goes, goes to all of it. There's no need to bully. That's true all the things that you've talked about, the trust, the confidence, the communication.  And I'm thinking of some specific people, their insecurity gets worse and worse and worse if, they're on a not so good path. And then if you're on a better path that just grows and grows and grows because you surround yourself with better people.   When you're insecure, I felt like it almost domino effects. Do you feel that? Yeah. And the other thing is if insecurity was gone, there wouldn't be assault or abuse. Right? So when you take that away, people know that  be able to have the relationships that they want or that they're comfortable waiting until they're. It's just that they want, or again, they are empowered. And so they don't go into my dynamic. To add to the exercise that you had mentioned about the 10 things that you appreciate about someone. If you really want to change your relationships with people that you don't necessarily get along with and send them and send them three of them. Whoa, boom. That. That is the season of what it's all about. Isn't it?  That's a giving of the heart and that's beautiful.  Cause it's real easy to find things up from which people that you like. But not so much people that. That's not even like, but just maybe have a little more of an agitation with, and then to tell them, and you know, that's the domino effect too. Like once you start doing that, hopefully the other person would reciprocate and then they might tell somebody else, and it's kind of like buying someone's coffee online, you know what I mean? It starts that that whole funnel effect thing and that's really awesome. And a beautiful holiday thought, and I'm hoping all our listeners will take part in that and do some of these activities because it truly can help you so much with your mental state and building relationships in such a good way. And gosh knows we all could use that, but,  tell our listeners where they can contact. Yeah, so I can be reached if you want to do it through email@infoatfixyourlife.ca or you can connect with me on LinkedIn, which is linkedin.com/in/fixyourlife. Or Natasha Wiebe you can search on there. And,  or if you're on Instagram, it's the Eggless Perspective. The Egoless Perspective, that's a really cool name too. I love it. Thank you, Natasha.  You've been fascinating to have on our show today.  So much good information. Like I said, I really hope people implement this. That's what it's all about. It's about change.  And speaking of, I want everyone to remember, life has no remote, so get up and change it yourself. Thank you. Thank you.

She is an avid runner and loves boating and spending time at her lake cabin with family and friends. In this episode Steve and Natalie discuss:A couple of leadership lessons Affirming people constantly Communicating clearlyEstablishing connection with your team Key Takeaways: When you're not telling people what's happening, they'll make up their own story - which is usually the wrong story. So you have to remind them what's happening, what they need to know. Business has to be personal - know their family, their dreams. It's a good investment to make your people know that you care about them. Whenever you affirm people, you free and empower them to not only perform better but to live and engage more positively.Show, not tell. Show people how to do something, and how it will impact rather than just merely telling them what to do.  “The most important thing for a leader is to remember: we need to affirm our employees. Constantly, over and over, they need to know that they are important, valued, and that they contribute regardless of the position.” - Natalie Overturf  Book mentioned: Everybody Matters, by Bob Chapman and Raj Sisodia Connect with Natalie Overturf:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NatalieOverturfHBFS/Website: https://www.homebridge.com/Email: natalie.overturf@Homebridge.com Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.com  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

How well are you communicating with others? For Michelle Mills-Porter, she was already an expert in communication, specializing in non-visual and non-verbal communication. But when she found herself in the middle of one of the biggest natural disasters in history, the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004, with little time to think, it opened her eyes to discover the magnificence in humanity. She witnessed the power of true motivation and the limitless possibility of collaboration. In a digital age, we are overwhelmed with so many ways to connect. But with all these options, are we really doing it in a way that unleashes our true potential to connect with others? And do we have to wait until we face adversity to make a change? Through Michelle's own recovery, she worked to capture what she learned, eventually creating a suite of analysis tools that unleashes people power to help you to uncover your magnificence. Join the conversation when this speaker, trainer, author and a leading light in the neuroscience of human behavior shares her story and infinite possibilities with host Hilary Russo.

The way we communicate is key in every area of our lives. My special guest, Elena Paweta, is a master communication and TEDx coach who helps women to increase their communication skills on and off stage. Here are a couple of areas that Elena feels communication is important: How we speak about ourselves Our relationships with others When talking on stage about your expertise How we give our children the freedom to express themselves When we focus on the importance of communication from an early age, we empower ourselves to speak our truth while providing impact and transformation for others to experience.

On this episode Ms. Jill Garvin, Wing Director of Psychological Health, speaks to Ms. Kristen Alexander about the importance of communication, connection and community when it comes to relationships. Ms. Kristen Alexander is a Heroes In Transition spouses group coordinator. Heroes In Transition provides many family, couples and veterans programs to our community. heroesintransition.org ------SCRIPT------ Jill: hello everybody this is Jill Garvin the director of psychological health for the 102nd Intelligence Wing welcome back to our wellness podcast today I have Kristen Alexander here with us she is from heroes and transition a lot of you have probably heard about them one of my favorite organizations and favorite people they assist veterans and military families and do a lot for our community and for a lot of our members here at the 102nd actually Kristen and her husband John they are both couples group facilitators and Kristin is the spouse's group facilitator and John is the veterans facilitator co-facilitator am I saying that the right facilitators right Kristen: yeah coordinators facilities that's what I have to say it's all good Jill: yeah so coordinators I apologize so one of the reasons I wanted to talk to Kristen about some of the programs and offerings that that heroes in transition has is because a lot of people i'm finding especially since Covid have really been struggling in relationships marriages that have broken apart or relationships that are really really struggling and a lot of people are struggling right now and I have definitely had an uptick in in my office and my arena around people struggling with that and heroes in transition certainly has stepped up during Covid and and is offering a lot of different things to meet the needs of our veterans and their families and since Kristen is involved in the the program for for couples and and in relationships I wanted her to tell us about what they're doing and introduce yourself and tell us how did you get involved with heroes in transition you and your husband you know give us a little a little background Kristen: awesome thanks Jill so my name is Kristen Alexander as Jill said and we are going into our fifth year with heroes it is my husband had started with them in a conversation of facilitating a veterans group and carrying that on and I was kind of like yeah well there’s spouses two so because my husband's a veteran so we've been through the deployments and you know all the things and so that really sparked an awesome conversation about starting with couples first and building the trust there and then breaking off and doing kind of separate groups so we started from the grassroots up and we started with the couples group we created a couples group and it just has continued to grow and grow and grow now that we have now we have to do lotteries for our events Jill: Wow Kristen: yeah so it's been amazing and it's been amazing to see the growth not only just within the organization in the group but the growth and the friendships that have come together because of that space Jill: i've heard some amazing feedback from our members that have gone on some of the couples events and retreats and it sounds like it is really well planned and just very therapeutic and amazing Kristen: yeah it's really great coming from because i'm not a therapist you know I don't i'm a spouse you know I am half of the married couple so that's the role that we take with it is you know creating the relatedness of another angle you know and what that does is that opens up the door for more conversation for maybe more needs that whether it be the veteran or the couple or the spouse might need they tend to be a little bit more open to maybe furthering on with other areas but you know reading just some of the things that you know we get feedback on and with covet it's been tough because a big part of what we do is we would do we do monthly we do bi-monthly events so what we do is we do like last month February was a couple's group event and we did a virtual valentine's dinner that was amazing and then this month we'll do the veterans will do an event and the spouses will do events separate and then the month after april we'll go back to a couple so we kind of alternate so it kind of it builds up the individuality because to be able to be strong as a couple you have to have your you have to know who you are right like so you still have to have that sense of self and independence Jill: yeah Kristen: because sometimes that goes away as a military spouse right but thank goodness for zoom we've been able to go virtual and it was like hey we don't have to give up everything but it has been a big part of like I said what we do is we would do an event to kind of get people together socializing that kind of thing and then we would do dinner and not being able to do the dinner was a fear that we would lose that connection because when you're sitting down having dinner and that's where the connections are coming in the smaller conversations and you know that kind of thing and but we've been able to through being virtual we've been able to still somewhat keep that connection and we've actually had a lot of new people join us which has been great because a lot of people don't feel comfortable coming into a group Jill: right Kristen: so the virtual aspect has been a blessing there's a blessing in everything as we know has been a blessing to allow people that maybe would feel a little bit intimidated or uncomfortable to be around people physically at first Jill: yeah Kristen: to kind of come in this way you know and like one of the things was feedback we got was it's such a pleasure knowing that in difficult times we can still grow and adapt to continue to get to get out there and build your support group you know so just knowing that providing that space for them you know and don't think we're not getting anything from it Jill: of course yeah Kristen: you know it's just it's it's pretty amazing Jill: so so how did you and john so you're doing this as a as a couple right obviously and what what kind since you're a spouse as well what sorts of things have helped you along your journey in marriage as a military spouse what what things have helped the two of you stay married Kristen: yeah so there's that yeah communication for sure and a lot of what takes a long time is to really learn how to listen and listen in a way that you're you get the intention of the conversation right so it's like kind of building those skills you know and it lit I remember when we went to therapy back in the day you know and just one of the exercises that we had to do was sit back to back and take take 10 minutes talking taking turns because then you're not interrupting Jill: yeah Kristen: he couldn't see my face because he doesn't because I was a crier I might still be but you know doing things like that you know so like some of one of the exercises that we did during one of our retreats was it was called the recreation exercise so one partner would say something and then would express whatever they were gonna express and then the other partner would come back and say okay so I heard this is what I heard and would say it back and then they would have a conversation did they really hear what that person was saying Jill: yeah Kristen: you know so it's really and it's just practice and when times get crazy we all fall out of it a little bit so those these reminders of the things that we do and we continue to really put in how important communication is is a good reminder for everyone that you just can't be successful without communication Jill: yeah communication is so key Kristen: yeah Jill: and i'm glad you mentioned well just an idea of one of the things that you do on the at the retreat yeah tell us a little bit what are the events like what do you do Kristen: yeah so we have twice a year so we do that every other month so that every month there is a an event for a veteran spouse Jill: and what type of events the this month Kristen: for the spouses I am running a i'm leading a vision board workshop so we all and we're gonna focus on hope like what can we bring you know what can we create and really just kind of getting down I have a whole worksheet there's a process it's not just cutting out pictures and pasting them they're gonna we're gonna do some digging you know in creating and with that the veterans this month are doing they're doing yoga and meditation which is awesome Jill: with Sarah right Kristen: yeah yep saturday we love Sarah yeah and also too I know they're still doing they do some work with Marie Bartram also and I know that they're still doing some like weekly virtual events too just to kind of keep people connected which is super important every saturday I do a spouse's coffee chat virtual which has really been a huge part of staying connected you know about Jill: I love that kind of thing what time is that Kristen: 9 a.m on saturdays and we do have a facebook group for couples and we also have email lists that I can give you you know when we before we wrap up how people can get connected to that kind of stuff but what we do I want to a couple of our biggest things is twice a year we do a couples retreat so we you know and they both have a little bit of a different focus one of the couple's retreats is really about building the community in teamwork you know also working on communication skills with each other but like building community and just really getting that you're not by yourself in this you're you've got people you know and then the other one is really digging deeper into your relationship in really just looking at how you can work on those communication skills different things different exercises that you can do how to communicate in a way that is effective because there's all different levels of communication Jill: It is a skill Kristen: as we know and to be able to communicate effectively is a huge skill you know and you know unfortunately we're not born with it we have to create it and but we also have to be committed to it Jill: yeah Kristen: you know and really just being able to get on each to get on each other's level really just listen to the other person you know one of the things that we learned was doing a daily temperature reading and what that is is you just there's like five different topics and you take turns and there's no discussion about it you're literally just filling in this is what's happening this is what's new blah blah blah you know whatever that kind of thing Jill: nice Kristen: yeah it's really cool Jill: well I was going to say you mentioned uh community connection communication and committed and just that just paints such a wonderful picture on yeah how we have successful relationships whether they're friendships or romantic relationships in our marriages but especially that connection piece and I love that you guys are keeping folks connected Kristen: yeah thank you it's you know and really just looking at again some of the things that they give us back you know the feedback like what stands out is reconnect relearning love languages you know that kind of stuff really just having one-on-one time to themselves instead of always being a parent oracle or a worker or you know something like that and what happens is a lot of times they don't especially with our military families and couples they don't have family here you know so they don't really get a lot of that one-on-one time you know so now when events come up they're a little bit more apt to look you know might look for a babysitter and make that extra effort to get that one-on-one time and then when they experience that one-on-one time they're like oh that's who you are oh I forgot Jill: yeah you're an adult too Kristen: yeah right you know so it's really it's really been so amazing Jill: yeah you guys do so much and again I know we're all appreciative of especially during Covid just stepping up and and having all of this and and because most everything is free right Kristen: everything is everything is free Jill: which is amazing yep yep and and I love yeah there are a lot of uh silver linings that came from Covid especially zoom and like you said there are a lot of veterans or service members those that suffer with anxiety or ptsd and they don't necessarily want to go into a crowded room with other people and so having the option to to see people on a screen and you're in your own safe comfortable environment is is wonderful yeah something wonderful Kristen: it kind of fills that gap a little bit yeah and for our valentine's dinner we had you know we had everybody got to pick up their dinner they got a choice of their meal they went and picked it up at marshland 2 and we met on zoom at 7 pm and there were a lot of people that didn't know each other because we've been in this for a year so we haven't really been able to you know do a lot of the connecting but by the time that dinner lasted like three hours and we were like wow like we laughed and people just got to really know each other and people were sharing and it was just you know it was just really great for them to have that like ah yeah with my people Jill: a breather yeah and and and there's such power and just being around other people that you can identify with and understand military life culture marriage all of those things do you guys have something coming up Kristen: we have well in March 20th we have the spouses the spouses event and that's going to be a vision board workshop and then the veterans are doing they're doing yoga and meditation I think that might be March 13th might be the week before I think maybe and then there's also we have a families group too and Casey and Aaron and Vanheusen run that and that's amazing so we do and those are monthly events and you know we couldn't do it without the hard work of our donors and sponsors who are like Jill: yeah I know and that's because they see all the great work you're doing they love you guys it's just amazing to see the outpouring of support and love that heroes in transition gets from the community Kristen: it's been amazing and we do have it's the full moon yeah that's why i'm but we we do have the Ruck4HIT coming up which is like one of our aside from the gala well both of those are our biggest fundraisers and the Ruck4HIT like everybody can take part you can run walk you can do whatever and that is going to be based right out of Mashpee and that is the end of April April 30th to Jill: yeah so that every you guys will be meeting at the heritage park Kristen: yep that's going to be our home base and we have teams and we've been doing that I mean we've been doing that I think this is our fifth or sixth year doing that the first one we did the beta run to new york city and back and that was pretty amazing Jill: everybody knows about the rock Kristen: I mean I think so but it's so great and that's when and we also what happens with the ruck is we have a lot of the people that participate in our groups they that's where they come to give back so they volunteer and they kind of you know help the whole thing happen but again we couldn't do it without the people that sponsor us and you know our donors our board of directors are amazing they just have so much trust in us which is amazing yeah Jill: yeah well you do amazing things and you have amazing results you've helped a lot of people like I said there's so many 102nd members here that have given me feedback over the years about oh just all the different ways that heroes in transition has helped them and and we've been able to call on you guys when we've needed something or needed a resource for someone it's just great to be able to pick up the phone and and get you guys anytime so thank you so is there anything else you'd like to mention that that's coming up or how do people find you Kristen: people we have we do have a website at heroesintransition.org and an easy way to remember how to get connected to the groups it would be if you were looking to get information about the spouses group you would email spouses@herosintransition.org if you wanted to get information about the veterans group veterans at harrows in transition and couples couples at heroes families families at heroes so we try to keep it simple you know that kind of thing I know the couples group we have a private facebook group that is specifically for military couples the families group has a facebook group for that but definitely go and you know like heroes in transition on facebook and you'll see all the connections there Jill: you're on instagram too right Kristen: I think so I i should be better at instagram and just Jill: some people are more instagram Kristen: it's yeah yeah yeah but I think we have an amazing social media guy Chris he's just awesome and yeah he he gets all of our stuff everywhere yeah it needs to go Jill: and the emails you mentioned if they go on the website all of those Kristen: they'll be able to find you know find that too you know and then they'll also be able to see you know we're pretty good about you know responding quickly and you know like the spouse's group events are for spouses of military members you know the veterans events or for that you know that kind of thing so yeah so Jill: wonderful Kristen: so that's it like just come see us no matter what rain shine we make it happen Jill: especially with zoom it doesn't matter what the weather is Kristen: yeah in person not in person Jill: you know and I love the the that you guys are doing rock the way you're doing it I i don't think I could have ever participated before but i'm planning on doing it this year yeah I have been running but but just again the way that uh some of the different options I think will make it more available Kristen: yeah it's we had people from other countries participate last year we had so that's the thing with Covid too like it's kind of you have to be creative right Jill: yeah Kristen: and you have to open up we had families participate together you know and they would send in their miles you know and then we'd add them up on on our team or whatever yeah yeah definitely a way whether you want to come and walk and you know the registration form is out I believe which is cool so anybody can register can register individually or as a team and then or you know come down and help us out you know just be a smiling face and cheer us on because we'll be tired Jill: well thank you and please thank uh Cindy and Nicole for all and your wonderful board I appreciate everything that you guys do for the community and I appreciate you coming on today and we'll definitely have you guys back because you're always doing new and innovative and ongoing things and I want to remind people that you guys are here so thank you

Rachel Wilson Thibodeaux is Founder, Brand Strategist, and Professional Speaker at SWAG Strategy Solutions a boutique consultancy that helps clients design unique brands to “better position their offers” and market them at least twice as effectively as they were in the past. Clients include women entrepreneurs, as well as service providers and experts, people Rachel says want to make a big impact and income. Building blocks of what Rachel connotes as “brand curation” include:  Asking clients, “What do you most want to be known for?” Identifying the audience, even down to the one person who will most resonate with the client's offering Establishing the most effective way to connect with that individual. Rachel majored in finance and marketing at the University of Houston and spent the first 16 years of her career in financial services. In 2013, she left her “good-paying, good-benefits” six-figure job to chase her entrepreneurial marketing dream.  How does someone make that kind of transition? Rachel believes that it important to communicate to your community, the groups to which you belong, what you are doing businesswise, “even if you don't yet have a product or a service out there.” She provides a number of questions that can help build the kind of engagement which can turn into future buy-in. She says that success requires disciplined consistency in doing the hum-drum activities; e.g., making a certain number of phone calls to connect with customers. In this interview, Rachel talks about when and how to reengage humor and the importance of sensitivity to what is going on in terms of the pandemic, social unrest, the fact that it is an election year, and concerns about the economy. When posting to social media, Rachel often posts questions she thinks will “bring a smile to someone's face,” help them escape for a moment what they are going through, and increase “connection.” The most important thing? Know and respect your audience. Rachel had an Ask Me Anything Live session at virtual HubSpot Inbound 2020 where she fielded audience questions about Brand Development, Positioning, and (especially) Social Media Marketing, as well as offering guidance on posting and engagement in  the “new normal,” connecting with people, managing COVID impacts, and online responses to the pandemic and the changes it has brought.  She also addressed social listening, paying attention to the data available online, your audience feedback (comments, likes), and engagement to identify what works and what doesn't, create better campaigns, and communicate better. Rachel can be reached on LinkedIn at Rachel W. Thibodeaux, Instagram at @rachel.vswagstrategist, and on her company website at swagstrategy.com. She has a Facebook group – Brand, Sell profit – for entrepreneurs/brand-builders/experts. She offers a virtual program for strategic pivoting called “Pivot to Profit,” with a free “sample portion” (one of the five parts) available at: bit.ly/pivot2profitnow. Check it out. Transcript Follows: ROB: Welcome to the Marketing Agency Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Kischuk, and I am joined today by Rachel Wilson Thibodeaux, Founder, Brand Strategist and Professional Speaker at SWAG Strategy Solutions. She's based in Houston, Texas. Welcome to the podcast, Rachel. RACHEL: Thank you so much, Rob. ROB: Why don't you start off by telling us about yourself and about SWAG Strategy Solutions and what gets you going and keeps you going? RACHEL: Oh boy. That can be a dangerous question when you ask a speaker to talk about themselves. But I am in the Houston area. I'm originally from North Texas, from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. College brought me to Houston. I've been here almost ever since. Not quite. I did return home for a few years after college and then came back to Houston around 2008. Even saying that is a little scary because time has really flown by. But I spent about 16 years in corporate America, working mostly in financial services. I was a double finance and marketing major at the University of Houston, so I went in the finance route. Marketing, though, was always a passion of mine. I know “passion” sometimes is an overused word, but that word comes to mind. Throughout my corporate career, I was always still focusing on and doing things on the side that were entrepreneurial and also that allowed me to feed that hunger, if you will, in terms of the whole marketing and brand aspect. I kept getting this pull, this entrepreneur pull, when I was still working in corporate America, and more so the last 2 to 3 years. So in 2013, I left my good-paying, good-benefits-having job, as I've referred to it before, because that's how my mother referred to it as she was asking me, “Are you sure you're leaving that good-paying job?” “Yeah.” [laughs] Since then it has been quite an adventure. My business, SWAG Strategy Solutions, which is a boutique consultancy, has certainly evolved over the last 7 years or so. Now we focus primarily on brand development, and as I like to say, helping clients curate a brand. I use that word more than “build” because I think with curating something, more of a design comes into place. We want to help you design a brand. We want it to be very unique. Sometimes when you build something, it's based on instructions. It's based on a model, almost like a model home. Other homes in the neighborhood tend to be modeled after that home. So; I'd like to think that I'm helping clients curate a brand as well as better position their offers and market better – at least twice as better. We work a lot with women entrepreneurs along with service providers, experts – folks really looking to make big impact and income. ROB: Doubling your effectiveness is certainly a big difference. When we are breaking down brands from the big picture into some of the pieces and parts, what are the components or building blocks of a brand you think about when you're starting to work with a client?  RACHEL: First and foremost, I usually ask prospective clients as well as clients – and this is something I've shared when speaking, in blog posts; I think it's such an important question – “What do you most want to be known for?” I emphasize the word “most” because many of us are good at more than one thing. Many of us are multifaceted, multi-passionate, multi-something. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it can make things more difficult in terms of really creating a brand and niching down and honing in on what you can most be effective at. That is a key question. I think it's important to really get foundational, if you will, and look at how you're most wanting to effect or impact your audience. You also want to get clear on who that audience is because it really should not be “everyone” – although I know, especially with newer entrepreneurs, and sometimes not just new, we tend to think we can help the world. We want to change the world, and we sometimes think of that literally. “I want to help everyone.” But it's important to really zero in on who is that audience, who is that group. It helps to even get it down to thinking of one person who's going to most resonate with what I have to offer, and how do I connect with that person? ROB: That focus, I'm sure having that external perspective from you is helpful in even getting to that understanding because sometimes we don't fully know ourselves. You mentioned a little bit into your origin story, and your last 2 or 3 years in corporate America, you had this longing on the entrepreneurial side. What pushed you over the edge? It sounds like you were thinking about it, but that means you were also thinking about not doing it, and at some point you overcome that tension and you make the leap. What was that process like for you? RACHEL: I had been doing entrepreneurial things almost throughout my career. Not quite throughout, but from different ventures I was involved in. For example, I did some consulting. I helped form a real estate investment group with three of my buddies. That happened when we were in our mid-twenties. We were kind of crazy kids, or somewhat kids, exploring real estate development. The last 2 or 3 years or so, things had started to change at the company where I was and even in my role as well. At the time, I was a relationship manager – which I enjoyed. Even at the time when I left, I still enjoyed it, although I didn't feel quite the same about it. The writing was just on the wall, as it often is in these situations. There had been changes in leadership; the direction of the company and our division in particular was really going in a different direction that I didn't really like. I often tell people, I was not fired, but it was one of those situations where I felt I didn't really have a choice because of some things that happened, what transpired to make me take that leap. Frankly, I had considered leaving a few months before that. I actually left my last job in August of 2013. I seriously considered leaving in May because of another situation. It wasn't the right time. I didn't feel it was the right time. I wasn't totally sure it was the right time when I left, and I tell you, Rob, my eyes were glazed over for about two weeks. I was in a state of “Huh . . . I really did that. I left.” [laughs] I left my six-figure corporate job that at one time, certainly when I started and probably even during the first year or two, I figured I would be there long term. I wasn't convinced necessarily I'd retire there, but I figured I'd be there longer than I was. It just goes to show you how things can happen. There was certainly some fear. I say all the time, everything was certainly not perfect. It wasn't close to being perfect when I actually left. My husband has been in law enforcement most of his career. He had just gotten back into law enforcement at that time, had started a new job. His benefits had not even kicked in. We had savings, but it still wasn't an ideal time. But again, I felt it was time for me. ROB: Congratulations on that. Now if there's anything concerning in the business, you've just got one person to look at, and they're in the mirror, so that's a little bit different. We were originally looking at connecting around HubSpot's Inbound conference, which is a great conference. Happens every year. Normally, past couple of years, we record it live with speakers like yourself, so we always love connecting with HubSpot speakers. You had an Ask Me Anything Live session on brand development, positioning, and social media marketing. What kind of questions did you expect coming into that, and what were some of the themes of what you did hear from the audience? RACHEL: Going in, I figured I would get questions about brands, about branding, certainly about social media. I got more questions, though, about social media, which is kind of interesting since that was the last thing mentioned. But I think it just goes to show you social media continues to be a hot topic, especially among marketers, whether online or traditional marketers. There were several questions about social media. There were a couple of questions as well about how to navigate this “new normal” we're in, how to manage what's going on with COVID, things to do online in light of the pandemic and the changes that has brought about. So yeah, there were some questions along those lines too. ROB: How do you suggest people think about marketing in – I don't even know if there's a new normal. It seems like things just continue to change, and we keep adapting, and you wonder what you can say, what you should say, what you shouldn't say, and what to start doing and what to stop doing. How are you thinking about all this, and what do you have to tell the audience here? RACHEL: One thing certainly is I don't think it's a good idea to ignore everything happening. I've seen that with some brands and marketers. Not many. Frankly, I think most are addressing what's going on – and when I say what's going on, I mean it's more than one thing because we're dealing with a number of things in this very interesting year of 2020. You've got the pandemic, obviously. You have this social unrest going on. It's an election year. There's challenges and certainly concerns about the economy. So, there's a lot going on. I think any really great marketer – and this is part of being connected with and knowing your audience – you have to speak to that. It doesn't mean that you dwell on it all the time, but in your marketing, in your messaging, I think it makes sense to address these things. I have a big sense of humor, sometimes a quirky, sarcastic sense of humor, and I'm big on incorporating humor. I think sometimes it helps, certainly. If you can put a smile on someone's face or help them escape what they may be going through, even if it's for a few minutes, a day or so, that certainly helps. So, I think in terms of posting on social media, for example – and I'm also big on questions. I love posting questions. It could be, of course, related to business and related to brands, or it could be something, again, to put a smile on people's faces. I've asked the question before to parents, “Have you had any brown liquor before noon today? I'm just curious,” because a number of parents I know are really going through it. I think that is really important, and connecting even more. Obviously, connection has become a big thing, or bigger, I would say, over the last few years. I think consumers are wanting to connect more. They're expecting more, or have been, even before this year, expecting more from brands. I think it's really important to engage. Social media is social. I think sometimes people forget about that. They think it's a one-way conversation when it's definitely not.  ROB: Hmm, so you're saying that clear liquor before noon is okay? RACHEL: [laughs] Maybe. You might be able to get away with it, Rob. The brown, you've got to be careful. You've got to be careful about that brown liquor. ROB: Yeah. Even on a podcast. It's interesting – even where you went with that, the humor you used there, it's relatable and it acknowledges the moment without engaging in humor at someone's expense. It's kind of humor at our own expense. I was speaking a while back with someone who's involved in marketing at Buffalo Wild Wing, and they said with the pandemic, they basically cut – they engage in humor a lot, but they cut it all. They went transactional and they're killing it in ecommerce now. Their best day used to be the Super Bowl. Now every day is the Super Bowl for them for online ordering, which is fascinating. They really had to overdo and redo their ecommerce systems. But how do we figure out when it's okay to reengage humor, how to reengage humor, how to not do so in a tone-deaf way? RACHEL: I think what you said is key. You don't want to offend people – at least, I try not to offend people. Now, it's possible that could still happen, I suppose, but I don't try to offend people. Again, this is your audience, or typically you're speaking to your audience, so you want to respect your audience. You don't want to be offensive. Now, having said that, I think being bold is different from being offensive. What you believe in, what you stand on, I think there's nothing wrong with communicating that and standing your ground on what you believe. I think you let that be your guide. ROB: Definitely makes sense there. The Inbound crowd in particular can be a little bit more of a business-to-business marketing audience. Quite often, although you get a mix because it's a big, big conference. When it came to social media, what sorts of questions – where do people fall on the spectrum? Was this B2B marketing, “How do you even do this?” Were there questions about emerging channels or channel selection? What were people wondering along the lines of social media? RACHEL: I don't recall there being anything specifically about B2B. The questions had more to do with, to some degree, posting, engagement. That came up. I answered that question in terms of engagement because it was related to – I think that was all the same question, how to engage now, given the environment. I spoke to that in terms of engaging now, giving everything, going on, and connecting with people, and the humor and that kind of thing. There was also a question – and it threw me off a little because I have heard this term, but there's different versions of this term. A question came up about social listening. I have heard more so of social media listening, and then there's another version I'm not remembering right now that's similar to that, although there's a slight difference. So that question came up. Social listening is really about taking data, using the data available to you online. It's using feedback that you get from your audience, whether that's through comments, likes, you paying attention to the comments, the likes that you're getting, different parts of engagement, and using that. There's one thing, collecting that data, and then the other part is what you do with it. You certainly use that data certainly to your benefit. You can use that in helping you create better campaigns, communicate better, paying attention to when you are posting, what works and what doesn't. ROB: That all makes sense, especially within the context of the conference. I do hope that you will be back to share in person next year. I hope we can do that by September of next year, but I guess we will see. RACHEL: Yeah, that would be cool. ROB: Maybe we can meet after noon so that we can choose whichever color of liquor we prefer. [laughs] It's about creativity here. Rachel, when you reflect on your journey, it sounds like you have honed in on some focus areas for SWAG Strategy Solutions. What are some lessons you've learned since jumping off on your own and building and growing the business – lessons you might do differently if you were starting afresh today? RACHEL: Ooh. How much more time do we have, Rob? [laughs] ROB: [laughs] We have as much as you need. RACHEL: You absolutely learn a number of lessons. Or you should, I think, especially in 7 years or so. One lesson certainly that I've learned is how important it is to build or create an audience, a community if you will. I didn't realize how important that was when I first started. When I left my job, I was on social media, I was on a few platforms. At the time I was using LinkedIn somewhat a lot, Facebook – but Facebook completely socially – and Twitter. I am also somewhat – I like to think I'm recovering – somewhat of both an information and a political junkie. So, as you can imagine, I spend a lot of time on Twitter. But again, not as much for business purposes. When I started my business, I figured the skills I had before and that I had utilized in corporate America were transferable. And to a degree, they are. But it really makes a difference when you have a community. That can show up in different ways, whether it's an email list, whether it's a Facebook group, some other group. When you have people who really understand what you're doing in terms of business – and even if you don't yet have a product or a service out there, you're talking about it, you're getting them to buy in even before you put it out there – that turns into, often, your customers, your clients, and folks who can sing your praises and help you get more customers and clients. That is certainly one lesson. Also, consistency. Again, some things you think that you get. “Yeah, I know I need to be consistent.” But I really didn't. Not the way running a business really requires, being really committed to doing certain things – and certain things that are not necessarily sexy, certain things that are not what you jump out of bed in the morning wanting to do, whether it's blogging, whether it's making phone calls and making a certain number of phone calls, whether it's an actual phone call or a text. However, you're reaching out to people, connecting with people, pitching, these are things that really make a difference in a business and help you move it forward. Those, as some people refer to them, revenue-generating activities – that is what you most need to be consistent about. That's something else that I have learned more since starting my business. ROB: That's very consistent. I can see why HubSpot brought you in. Last year they mentioned this flywheel concept. It was a little bit forced, but basically it's a similar thing. They talked about talking to people and building a community and serving them well, and then it turns into business. But then business turns into service. You still have to service those customers well. It turns into word of mouth, it turns into marketing. They had this flywheel effect. I think a challenge many people have here is with consistency. Some people are very, very natural community builders. You watch them, and the moment they decide they're going to have a new business, they're building the community before you even know what the business is, and maybe before they do. For someone who it's not as natural for, how do you think about getting to consistency, getting to the right audience, if maybe you don't know who that audience even needs to be? RACHEL: I am really big on feedback. If that's something that doesn't come quite naturally to you, and certainly if you're not quite sure of what audience or what group you should be connecting to, look around at your own network, even if that's very small. That may be coworkers. That may be subordinates. That may be even friends and family. It could be someone in a Facebook group that you're in. Start asking them questions along the lines of what you want to do, what you're thinking of doing, or if you do have something that you're working on or maybe even you've completed, ask them questions about that product or that idea. And really pay attention to what they say. Also ask them and the people closest to you, like friends and family, how they see you. What is it that they feel comfortable and they feel pretty confident coming to you for? I think those basic questions, that can also be profound, can be underrated. Sometimes I think we also underrate or discount our friends and family, but those are the people closest to us. It's not to say that that's necessarily your target audience, but it's a starting point just to get that feedback. For folks who are not natural, I would say, or it doesn't come as natural to them for building a community, you have to find the way that works for you. It may not work as well for one person to do a podcast or to create a blog. It may work a lot better for them to build an email list, to put something out there of value that they can offer free and folks jump on it because they do find a lot of value in it, and they just communicate through email. It all depends on you. It's not just about what you're comfortable doing. I do think you should enjoy what you're doing, and specifically in terms of building community. But realize it absolutely may require you – probably no “may” – it will require at some point for you to step out of your comfort zone. So, make sure that you're balancing comfort rather than hate. You don't want to do anything you hate, but at the same time, don't rule out certain things because you're not comfortable with it, you're a little fearful or it doesn't come naturally, as you say. That doesn't mean necessarily that you should not be doing that. ROB: That's such a great distinction between the things that you hate versus doing the things you're uncomfortable with. That's a great point. The people that know you well are going to be able to give you good feedback because people you don't know, so often, will tell you that your idea sounds nice because they don't have the relationship to tell you the truth. RACHEL: Yeah. ROB: This is really, really good stuff, Rachel. Tell us, when we want to go out and find and connect with Rachel Wilson Thibodeaux and when we want to see more about SWAG Strategy Solutions, where should we go to connect with you? RACHEL: I hang out a lot on LinkedIn and Instagram. Those are probably my two favorite platforms. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but that's another conversation. You can find me there too. But you can find me on LinkedIn under my name, Rachel W. Thibodeaux. You can find me on Instagram @rachel.vswagstrategist. On Facebook, I do have a group for entrepreneurs, for brand builders, experts if you will – those looking to curate a brand and to do that better and market better. That's called Brand. Sell. Profit. It actually is also the title of my latest book, Brand. Sell. Profit. And then my website, of course. You can find the website at swagstrategy.com. And I'd like to offer your audience a gift, Rob, if I can. ROB: Please do. RACHEL: I've been talking a lot, as many people have, especially people in business, about pivoting and the importance of being able to pivot, especially in this environment. That has probably become a buzzword, so while I think it's really important to pivot, I think there is a way to pivot. I like to think it's better to pivot strategically. So I have a virtual program called Pivot 2 Profit, and I have a portion of that – I'm offering one of the five parts of that that you can check out. There's a video. It's absolutely free, and I talk about a couple of those ways to pivot in a strategic way. You can find that by going to – and this is a shortened link – bit.ly/pivot2profitnow. ROB: Fantastic. We'll work to get that into the show notes. I imagine you have some excellent points there. You pivot, keep one foot planted if you move the other one. If you move both feet at once, it's just dancing. There's some good stuff to find there. We'll get it in the show notes. Rachel, thank you so much for joining us. Congratulations on the talk at Inbound. I heard they had very, very large audiences for that. RACHEL: Yeah. ROB: I hope they have us back in person next year. I'd love to connect up and record live. RACHEL: Absolutely. Thank you. ROB: Have a great one, Rachel. Be well. RACHEL: You too. ROB: Bye. Thank you for listening. The Marketing Agency Leadership Podcast is presented by Converge.

Leading remote teams is a new adventure for many companies and employees, and it's important to lead in a fashion that cultivates trust and develops the relationships amongst the team - especially when we are at a distance and not connected in person as frequently and often as we used to be.And, even if you don’t lead people or have direct reports – these techniques can apply to how you can connect, communicate and collaborate with your colleagues.Many questions come up when leading remote teams – and without Clarity, Communication & Connection – it can lead to trust issues, micromanaging or fear of employees not being productive:How are teams going to track projects they're working on?How will they meet to discuss this?Will you all be connecting on Video or email?Will there be standing meetings at a certain time to get everyone coordinated?These questions should be an ongoing conversation. Remember, going fully remote is a new experience for many companies and their workers.This episode dives into 3 key areas to cultivate stronger relationships with your team and set them up for success to achieve the organizations goals and objectives._ _ _ _ _Have you joined our email list yet?
