During a recent retreat I led for my business coaching clients, we had the opportunity to do a deep dive into visibility avoidance.  We discussed this phenomenon that happens when we want to grow in new ways, but the prospect of heightened visibility holds us back.  Sometimes, when we take steps into higher visibility opportunities, we are excited by the outcomes.  But, shortly after the perceived win, we feel a sense of vulnerability that pulls us back to our pre-visibility zone of comfort, and we determine that pre-visibility space is the safer or more appropriate place for us to stay for the time being.   Visibility can be wildly uncomfortable.  It can bring up a lot of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in which we create swirling narratives that are more harmful than helpful.  When we get stuck here, we stunt our own growth.  We shrink ourselves.  We play small.  We allow ourselves to tap into only a fraction of our full potential.   In this episode, we explore the concept of visibility avoidance and highlight the common underlying self-limiting beliefs that hinder your personal and professional growth. I talk through how specific thought patterns undermine behavior patterns, keeping you accepting less than the best for yourself.  Then, I give you simple steps for overcoming visibility avoidance that will allow you to strategically increase visibility through small steps over time, allowing you to reach those goals you've been dreaming of in a way that feels exciting and rewarding!  This episode will help you recognize the payoffs of stepping into your full potential when you do it in a way that feels safe and aligned with who you are and where you want to go.  Episode Highlights: 00:00 The Magic of Expansive Time 04:14 Understanding Visibility Avoidance 12:03 Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs 16:18 Strategies for Increasing Visibility 24:47 Embracing Vulnerability and Growth Links Mentioned: Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

Have you convinced yourself that your protective armour keeps you safe when, in truth, it imprisons you and denies you genuine connection and growth?This episode explores how to choose openness over fear, authenticity over illusion, and freedom over self-imposed limitations.

Nadine shares her journey of helping others become the best version of themselves through meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and the ability to lead with gratitude. We dive into the importance of asking probing questions, discovering the emotional drivers behind behavior, and how leaders can foster authenticity in their teams. If you've ever struggled with feedback, leadership pressures, or the need to conform, this episode will inspire you to embrace your true self and create a workplace culture that celebrates vulnerability and connection. You'll learn: The Art of Asking Probing Questions: Nadine shares how asking deep, meaningful questions allows people to uncover and address the true issues they face, rather than just solving surface-level problems. Embracing Vulnerability in Leadership: Authentic leadership isn't about perfection—it's about aligning actions with values and being open to vulnerability. Nadine explains how leaders can show up as their true selves to foster stronger connections. Gratitude as a Tool for Personal Growth: Nadine highlights how focusing on gratitude can lift the weight of trying to be someone you're not and help you embrace your authentic self, both in leadership and life. Handling Feedback: Learning to process feedback effectively is crucial in maintaining authenticity. Nadine discusses her experience with feedback and why it's important to evaluate it within context. Memorable Quotes: “It's more questions that you ask as opposed to really trying to solve their problem.” “Whatever's going on, you have the tools inside you to fix it.” “Gratitude isn't just about saying thank you—it's about embodying it in everything you do.” “They'll remember how you made them feel.” “It is what it is, but at least I don't have that weight of trying to pretend I'm something I'm not.” Actionable Steps for Listeners: Ask the Right Questions: If you're facing a challenge or conflict, pause and ask deeper questions to uncover the emotions or underlying issues. Practice Vulnerability: Embrace your true self, imperfections and all. Lead with authenticity and invite others to do the same. Integrate Gratitude into Your Life: Start each day by acknowledging something you're grateful for—it will help shift your mindset and lighten the emotional load. Reflect on Feedback: When receiving feedback, consider the context and source before deciding if change is needed. Not all feedback should be acted upon immediately.   Final Thought: Authentic leadership starts with embracing who you truly are. When you lead with vulnerability, gratitude, and deep self-awareness, you not only inspire others to do the same but also create a culture of trust and connection that will drive lasting success. It's time to lead with authenticity—your true self has everything you need to make a positive impact.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire!

In this episode, Megan dives into a thoughtful conversation with Vincent Pugliese, an expert in building and nurturing memberships. As someone who recognizes the power of connections, Vincent shares insights distilled from his journey—from a successful sports photographer to a thriving membership coach. His passion for community and the impact of meaningful interactions are evident throughout our discussion.The conversation transitions into the topic of membership models, with Vincent sharing his belief that a strong membership foundation can drive success across various types of businesses. He explains how memberships not only provide financial stability but also cultivate community, allowing members to engage actively and share their experiences. The idea of starting small with memberships is reinforced; success can bloom from seemingly humble beginnings where four interested people can turn into a thriving community.Vincent's unique perspective on learning from failures and the necessity of starting, even from a low point, sheds light on the path to entrepreneurial accomplishment. His hilarious yet humbling story about a speaking engagement with an almost empty audience serves as a powerful reminder that the size of an audience is not as significant as the authentic connections made during any exchange.They also discuss the flexibility of membership models, emphasizing their adaptability based on the audience's needs. Vincent addresses the misconception that one must have a colossal following to launch a successful membership. Instead, he encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to identify their passions and create content that resonates with their intended audience, ultimately leading to organic community growth.As they shift gears, Vincent breaks down his own membership tiers, illustrating how they're structured to offer varying levels of engagement, from budget-friendly access to exclusive, higher-touch experiences. He explains the logic behind these tiers, showing how they create a funnel that allows members to choose their journey and find the most value where they need it most.Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that Vincent epitomizes the belief that community fosters not just growth, but also sustainability in business. His approach resonates with anyone looking to build a business that prioritizes genuine relationships and shared success.HIGHLIGHTS:3:11 The Power of In-Person Connections5:28 Embracing Vulnerability in Entrepreneurship8:13 Lessons from Small Audiences11:31 The Importance of Origin Stories18:59 Discovering a New Passion23:58 The Appeal of Membership Models25:46 Understanding Membership Dynamics28:42 Customizing Your Membership Offer30:57 Building a Stadium for Your Business34:11 The Content and Connection Rivers41:06 Selecting the Right Membership Tier44:36 The Evolution of Memberships56:17 Freedom Over ContentCONNECT WITH VINCENT:WebsiteThe Wealth of Connection audio bookFacebookInstagram

In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, host Jey Young speaks with Chris Lewis, co-founder of Fathering Together, about the importance of active engagement in fatherhood. They discuss the journey of creating a supportive community for dads, the significance of vulnerability, and how to redefine fatherhood in modern society. Chris shares insights on building strong relationships with daughters, navigating difficult conversations, and the fleeting nature of time spent with children. The conversation emphasizes the need for dads to connect, learn from each other, and be present in their children's lives. Takeaways Fathering Together started from a blog and grew into a community. Engagement in fatherhood is crucial from the very beginning. Dads should be involved in their children's interests, even if they differ from their own. Vulnerability is key to building strong relationships and communities. Time spent with children is fleeting; cherish every moment. Dads need to listen more than they fix in conversations with their kids. There is no one right way to be a father; every dad's journey is unique. Building a supportive community helps dads navigate challenges together. Early engagement lays the foundation for strong relationships with children. Dads should advocate for each other and lift each other up.
