Today we welcome in Devoreaux Walton to the show and Devoreaux is here to tell us all about her role as the Diversity & Inclusion Learning Portfolio Manager for IBM.  A professional that is clearly passionate about the work she does and thrives upon the potential to impact as many as she can, Devoreaux offers education to 340,000 employees across the globe within IBM. Furthermore, a more specific way to explain the work she does is through "behavioral change" as Devoreaux looks for collaborative ways to create an authentic and comfortable workplace for all IBM employees the world over.  I love when we get to bring in those that are so passionate about the opportunity they have to impact others in their workspace, and Devoreaux is a prime example of someone that truly relishes every moment available to her to build a more inclusive workplace.  A true Career Competitor, Devoreaux is aiming to impact even those outside of IBM by building educational content for others to learn from so be sure to connect with her through LinkedIn.  Be sure to contact Steve at Steve@careercompetitor.com regarding the episode or if you want to connect to discuss becoming a guest or working together in the future.

Welcome to episode 12 of ‘Happiness from Within’. In today’s episode I talk to Devoreaux Walton, founder of The Modern Lady, a coaching business that empowers women to live their best life through consulting, classes and courses. Devoreaux grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, recently published a book and has several courses to help empower women be the best version of themselves.   Key takeaways: It’s easy for life to sometimes take over Having role models is one secret to success Social media plays a much more negative role in our lives nowadays It’s important to focus on the good and not just what you want to change about yourself The mindset is the foundation of confidence When you feel your best, you will perform at your best Growing up, Devoreaux had two role models who played a big role in her life: her 4th grade teacher and her grandmother. She says these role models are who gave her the confidence and inspiration to become a better person everyday. After suffering from anorexia and low self-esteem, Devoreaux understood how much of a downward spiral focusing on your flaws can be.  Since then she has created strategies and exercises to fuel her fire and help other women feel confident and comfortable with their surroundings. An example exercise is to write positive affirmations of oneself on a piece of paper. Another one is to journal every day to reflect on one’s own emotions and thoughts. Many women come to her thinking it’s their wardrobe they want to enhance, but Devoreaux explains that it all starts with the mindset. Fashion psychology plays a big role in how you feel, because as Devoreaux says: ‘When you feel the best, you will perform the best’ Devoreaux loves working with women from all around the world and seeing the impact she has with her consulting and coaching. She creates mood boards, personalizes programmes and helps women connect with each other through her community. Through her courses and coaching she believes women can learn how to leverage their full potential and be the person they really want to be.   Links: Devoreaux’s website: https://themodernlady.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoBK1mpbaYJ8NRORa7oNo5Q?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.instagram.com/devoreauxwalton/ Devoreaux’s book: https://www.shop.booklogix.com/Je-Ne-Sais-Quoi-20918.htm The Cosby Show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086687/ Big Brothers Big Sisters: http://www.bbbsi.org/   Connect with Janet Prado Join JANET’S FREE “Weekly Motivation” Email List if You Are Looking for That “Happiness From Within” & Wanna Get Epic & Inspiring Emails Weekly Sign up FREE Here ==> http://bit.ly/2QkwSoy Transform Your Water Auro Liquid Gold http://bit.ly/2ufkJZx Grab Your Free Meditation Audio https://apple.co/37CbhxT Grab Your Free PDF 7 Steps To Find Happiness Now http://bit.ly/35eJRwg Connect with Janet Prado YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCnqsIP69NGlsKzbfbucXg Connect with Janet on Instagram www.instagram.com/happinessfromwithinnow

To learn more please visit www.TheModernLady.com   Nicole Walker’s Interview Commentary I really enjoyed this interview with Devoreaux, and I hope you did as well. I agree with Devoreaux’s viewpoint of it being frightening, yet necessary to step outside of our comfort zone. When we step outside of our comfort zone, we allow ourselves to grow personally and professionally. As Devoreaux mentioned, stepping outside of our comfort zone is where the magic happens. IF we are looking to achieve optimal performance, THEN we must step outside of our comfort zone. Learning to get comfortable being uncomfortable is what successful leaders do. A quote by Neal Donald Walsch reads, “life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. I admire Devoreaux’s decision to stand up for the underdog as it shows her care and compassion for those around her. Being a compassionate leader is so important. I especially admire how Devoreaux exhibited this trait while growing up and ended up working in a field where she is still standing up for those that need her. Choosing to work with women who feel less than an undeserving of love is needed and I'm glad to see Devoreaux leading in this capacity. We all have power and  must choose whether to use our power for good or bad. Devoreaux decided to use her power for good by helping others. I can relate to Devereaux being the queen of lists as I am the same. I love lists as they help me to stay organized and track my progress. Putting a check next to completed items on my list soothes my soul, as I am a results oriented individual. Lists help to make goals and aspirations tangible and within reach. Breaking down goals into tasks and using lists to plan those tasks is essential for success. List gives you direction and helps to relieve stress, further proving why lists are important for progress. If you need direction and want to relieve stress, like me, then using lists is the way to go. Nicole Walker’s Takeaway of the Week Devoreaux mentioned the importance of listening more than you speak, in an effort to be mindful of not pushing your own agenda. As Devoreaux suggested, we should tailor our leadership to what others are seeking and not be self serving. As Devoreaux stated, we must be open minded and not overlook this simple task. I will make it my business to listen more and speak less, as I aim to be more mindful of others. I do not want to be self serving, and I know this is a must to reach this goal. I care about helping others and realize that I must listen to successfully do so. I have to listen to the needs of others above my personal desires. A quote by Doug Larson reads, “wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk”. Nicole Walker’s Leadership Challenge of the Week My leadership challenge for you is to think about the one thing you can take away from this episode and adopted for your life. I know it's hard to absorb too much information at one time and it's even harder to try and implement to make changes at once. When I attend a training or listen to podcasts, I aim to walk away with at least one thing that stuck out to me and one way that I can change as a result. I challenge you to do the same. If you decide to take me up on my challenge, I would love to know about your key takeaway, if you care to share please go to the She Leads Podcast Discussion Group on Facebook and leave your comment under the Takeaway Thursday post or Season 4, Episode 6.

What does confidence have to do with reaching your potential? What’s one secret you need to know to live more confidently today? And how does your wardrobe impact how others respond to you? Devoreaux Walton, an author and confidence coach, joins me as we talk about confidence, self-talk, and your wardrobe.  While we don’t see eye-to-eye on everything we talk, we still collaborate and connect, and respect the heck out of each other! If your confidence needs a boost and you don’t know where to start, listen to Devoreaux’s wisdom.   Devoreaux’s Journey from Feeling Stuck to Living with Confidence In 2014, Devoreaux was frustrated. She felt stuck working at a job she didn’t enjoy. She wanted to be confident and charismatic, but she wasn’t. Then she discovered counseling and therapy then she hired a life coach and audited her closet. Through her experience, she discovered “insider secrets” to become confident in who you are.  One insider secret is to be aware of your mindset and to understand the power of self-talk.  We all have lots of thoughts throughout the day with the majority being negative. Being self-aware of the thoughts you’re thinking can shift the focus of the negative and toward the positive. But how do you stop the negative self-talk? Focus on gratitude. Ask yourself, “What’s the best-case scenario?” Focus on the good that can happen.  What happens when the best-case scenario doesn’t happen? Remember to control what you can control, which is what you do, say, and think. When the outcome doesn’t go your way, think through what went well and what could be improved for next time. Honor yourself for what you did well and then evaluate what could go better the next time. How does your wardrobe impact your confidence? There’s a massive impact between clothing and confidence. How you dress impacts how others view you and how you view yourself. The response you get from people when you wear yoga pants will be a different response than when you wear a suit. After a difficult emotional time, dressing in a way that makes you feel confident and taking good care of yourself will help you feel more empowered.   Spending time the night before can make a world of difference in having a successful tomorrow. What if you’re multi-faceted and you’re unsure what image you want to show the world? There are times and places for everything. In general, it’s possible to have a consistent theme with your colors, fabrics and textures no matter what roles you play.   So what is Devoreaux’s Style? Her style has evolved because style is all about continuous improvement. We’re all changing and growing. It’s about a journey and enjoying the present moment.   Three to four years ago, Devoreaux’s style was more Americana, e.g. J. Crew and Ralph Lauren. Now, she prefers timeless elegance like Talbots, St. John, and Chanel. Her wardrobe has really shrunk. She encourages us to get rid of things that don’t fit, that we haven’t worn in a while, and aren’t respectful to our bodies. Audit your closet and maximize the essentials in your wardrobe. Devoreaux believes that women should always cover their derrieres, bosoms, and mid-sections. I don’t agree with this. But that’s okay!
