Feeling fulfilled and passionate about our work comes from having autonomy, competence, and relatedness.  So what do those three terms mean and how can you achieve them? ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ---------------------------------------------- Cal Newport talks about Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in his book “So Good They Can't Ignore You”. SDT is actually composed of six mini-theories and one of them is Basic Psychological Needs Theory. To learn more, go to selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory Basic Psychological Needs Theory Psychological well-being and optimal functioning are a result of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy This is the feeling that you have control over your day and that your work is important and meaningful. Don't expect this in the early days of your career. Strive for a blend of autonomy and guidance by finding mentors and role models to help you navigate your profession. As you gain experience, you'll enjoy more autonomy than you've earned.  Competence There are four levels of competence. As your skills and awareness develop, you'll move through the phases of: Unconscious incompetence; conscious incompetence; conscious competence; and unconscious competence. Learn more about this model by listening to Episode 7 of Ever Better Today. Relatedness This is the feeling of connection to other people. You have to feel a connection in order to feel very engaged and passionate about your job and mission-driven. Episodes 99, 100, 101, 102, and 103 describe just some of the takeaways from So Good They Can't Ignore You and Born Standing Up. There are many other lessons in these books so I encourage you to read or listen to them. yourself!

Do you focus on the value you're offering in your job? Or are you thinking more about “what's in it for me”? These are two very different mindsets that create vastly different outcomes. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- In chapter four of Cal Newport's book entitled “So Good They Can't Ignore You”, he describes two different approaches to thinking about work - a craftsman mindset versus a passion mindset. In Steve Martin's book, Born Standing Up, he describes his constant work to craft better performances. His passion for the work grew with his expertise and accolades. Crafters mindset & Entrepreneur mindset Crafters and entrepreneurs focus on the value they are producing for someone else. Entrepreneurs collect information, interpret it in their own way, and create something transformational for the world to consume. They take in information, apply their interpretation and create something new - transformation.  Passion mindset vs Employee Mindset In the employee mindset, individuals are focused on how their jobs make them feel and what they're getting out of their jobs rather than emphasizing the contribution, transformation, and advancement of others. This revolves around the “what's in it for me?” culture. Real-life examples following information, interpretation, and transformation flow… Steve Martin took information about magic tricks, comedy, entertainment at Disney, and quirky personalities. He interpreted all this information in his own way and created an act that only he could do. He made an artform that entertained his audiences and shifted comedy forever.  With this podcast, I'm interpreting information from books, my professional and personal experiences, and my education and transforming it into podcasts. My hope is that these podcasts help you and others to elevate their businesses, careers, and overall lives.   Episodes 99, 100, 101, 102, and 103 describe just some of the takeaways from So Good They Can't Ignore You and Born Standing Up. There are many other lessons in these books so I encourage you to read or listen to them. yourself!

Do you pursue your passion or get so good at something that it becomes a passion?  In the book, So Good They Can't Ignore You, Cal Newport makes the case that single-mindedly pursuing your passion can create frustration and a chaotic career. Listen to learn more! ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Here's what you can do to create a career or business that you're passionate about without creating chaos… Figure out what you're interested in, that you can get paid for, and that you enjoy doing. Then get great at that!  Get that job or start a business that you can feel good about doing on a day-to-day basis. Get started! As you learn more and get better at what you're doing, it may very likely become a passion.  Learn what you need to know, learn the basics, and figure out ways to not succeed. Mistakes are a great way to learn!  Build your network. Meet people in that industry and people who are engaged in similar work or business. Consider… Do you know someone who pursued something and it grew into a passion? What steps did they take to succeed?

This episode is inspired by two books, So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport and Born Standing Up by Steve Martin.  If you're ready to achieve wild success in anything you do, you need to become great at it.  This takes time, dedication, and a willingness to be uncomfortable.  Overnight success rarely happens. And when it does, it's not sustainable. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! --------------------------------------------- Here's how Steve Martin became so good… He honed his magic and entertainment skills in a variety of “unglamorous” jobs.  He started performing for very small audiences and learned from negative feedback. He refused to give up and continued to hone his skills as a stand-up comedian. He went on tour at colleges and universities which led him to perform on much bigger stages, stadiums, and venues.  He recognized that performing in very large venues left him empty and unsatisfied because his passion was to connect with his audience.   As a comedian, he created transferrable skills that he applied to acting, producing and music.   When he reached financial success he became a philanthropist and an art collector. Steve Martin's advice, “be so good they can't ignore you” was the inspiration for Cal Newport's book.

“Fully grieve your losses and also, let yourself feel the full weight of your joys.” ~ Morgan Harper Nichols Guest Introduction: Welcome to another episode of Exploring the Seasons of Life, a podcast for women with a big heart on a spiritual journey. I'm your host Cindy MacMillan and I'm joined today by Jamie Martin. Each week, I interview coaches, spiritual explorers and essential oil enthusiasts from all walks of life about beginnings, endings and the messy bits in-between. Self-love, well-being, and mindset are at the heart of our conversations because once you change the inside, the outside will begin to change as well.  I heard someone say, "Everyone needs enough grit to stand their truth, grace to accept who they are, and gratitude to live a happy life." It perfectly sums up my new podcast series.  Grit, Grace and Gratitude: Navigating Emotional Wellbeing with Essential Oils Join me on this journey of learning about essential oils and integrating them into our daily lives. I am delighted to introduce my guest, Jamie Martin. Jamie is a Life and Leadership Coach who is passionate about partnering with people who have been going so long they lost themselves. Her 17-year career in technology at companies like DoubleClick and Google, combined with intensive coach certification training gives Jamie a unique perspective into what it takes to make a significant transformation for her clients. Working with Jamie, her clients end up standing in their power, even when they are doing the uncomfortable things, they have always dreamed of doing. Here's a glimpse of our conversation: Jamie, I'm SUPER excited you are here. 5:24 The thing that I've experienced with a lot of my clients, is that oftentimes, we try to move forward too quick. It's like, we name it, and we move forward, but we don't experience the emotion. And this is one thing I love about toddlers, because, they experience it, you know, fully embody it. But they don't know how to how to do it in a healthy space, right? 9:57 I'm so passionate in my space and it took me a long time to actually reclaim that word. Because I grew up feeling that that was a negative thing, just the way that it was framed up in my family. And it's funny because I talked to my mom about this, and she's just like, really, that's what you got from it. I was like, yep, that's what I got. 10:42 The other thing I want to make sure listeners hear is that playing small is about you in your space, it doesn't mean what you're doing. Right? Like, it's how you're being in your space. Because I think sometimes, we think that we have to go and save the planet when we hear going big. But really, it's not about that, it's about whether or not we're shrinking in our space and are we shrinking who we are. 12:57 But the first thing I would say is really understand what it is that you need. Right? So, until we understand what we need and how that gets filled, it's hard to put a boundary in place. So, for example, a desire to work 40 hours a week. Like, if that's what you really think you need, what's the reasoning behind that? 16:32 Sometimes saying no; is super uncomfortable. 32:32 The thing that I've really been working on myself that shifted my whole gratitude practice is embodying it, and actually feeling the gratitude. So when you're imagining gratitude for somebody else, really feeling what it is about their being that really wraps you up, feeling that hug, feeling the love around it, and letting it really percolate throughout your whole body. 53:27 I also have just recently launched a six-week challenge called Positive Intelligence. And it's an app guided program that also is group oriented. That allows us to really start to see the difference between when we are in our saboteur mind versus our sage.

It's Coach Question Friday when I ask you to consider a coaching question. What does community mean to you? How can you help to create it? These coaching questions were inspired by the entrepreneurial community in Fargo, ND, and TEDx Fargo that I discussed in episodes 94 through 97.  #TEDxFargo ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- What is a Community? For me, a community is a group of people that support each other and… A community does not have to be limited by geography. A community can be virtual. A community should not be stagnant. Community members should come together on a regular basis and be open to new discussions. A community welcomes new people who add energy, engage in different ways, and generate new ideas. Members who left the community can be regarded as alumni or alumna.  Members who left are welcomed back to re-engage should they decide to rejoin the group. Communities should have fun together and enjoy each other's company. Community members keep learning and taking risks together. What communities do you belong to? Consider these communities: Your family Your neighborhood  Professional associations Online groups like LinkedIn groups or Facebook groups Employees at the company you work for or own Individuals at your co-working space Alumni of schools and training programs you've attended How can you add more value and energy to your communities? ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

At TEDx Fargo, Randy Hedberg, Associate Head Coach and Quarterbacks Coach for the North Dakota State University (NDSU) football team, described the principles and cultural touchpoints that guide his team's culture.  Between 2011 and 2022, the NDSU Bisons won nine national titles. So their culture is one to be studied!  One of Hedberg's lessons that stood out for me was:  The daily environment of Bison football is shaped by the worst behavior the leaders are willing to tolerate. Coaches and all Bison teammates pay attention to behaviors that might drag the team down and behaviors that might elevate the team.  This is a philosophy that everyone should apply in business and in every other aspect of life.  Don't tolerate a horrible culture.  Instead, be a catalyst for change!  #TEDxFargo ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- How to apply the “worst behavior tolerated” philosophy to your life.  Business If you're a business owner or senior leader, you are responsible for modeling your culture. Don't tolerate or personally demonstrate inappropriate behavior.  Leadership happens at all levels. If you're not a senior leader, you have the ability to speak up and report inappropriate behavior.    For example, if you see that someone is being bullied in your workplace and you remain silent, you contribute to the tolerance of that behavior.  Family If you're a part of a family with unhealthy dynamics, consider how you can make a difference for this generation and the next.  If you're not sure how to make a difference, talk to someone else who might be able to help. What situations are you tolerating? ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

On May 25, 2020, Christopher Martin, then 18 years old, was working at a store in Minneapolis. A customer came in to buy cigarettes and Chris believed that he paid with a counterfeit $20 bill. Chris reported this to another employee who went out to talk to the customer. The police were called. Within a half hour, that customer, George Floyd, was dead and the officer who knealt on Floyd's neck, was found guilty of murder. Following this tragedy, Chris experienced profound guilt and wondered if he had done the right thing. Chris described his experiences and his motivation to rise for George Floyd in his TEDx Fargo talk in July 2022. #TEDxFargo ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! -------------------------------------------- From his TEDx Fargo talk, here are some of Christopher Martin's lessons for rising after a difficult experience… Recognize that you should not take on burdens not meant for you. It can be tough to discern which are your burdens. Chris ultimately realized that George Floyd's murder was not his fault.  Acknowledge that you cannot control circumstances.  You can only do the best you know how to do in the moment.  Tell someone if you are not feeling well mentally. Get help. Your mindset matters. Saying “I'm fine” doesn't help you to rise.  Call 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Hotline in the U.S.  ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

The word 'integral' is being applied to anything mildly alternative these days. So what is integral leadership? Turns out the goals of integral leadership are very similar to other work of various kinds. It's about expressing our authentic selves in the moment and serving others with our gifts.

I was introduced to the Fargo, ND community in 2016 when a friend recommended that I invite Greg Tehven to be on the Ever Better Podcast. You can listen to that podcast here. That conversation with Greg continued as he introduced me to many other entrepreneurs and change-makers in Fargo. In July 2022, I spent almost a week in Fargo and thoroughly enjoyed seeing friends, some of whom I had never actually met in-person, meeting with clients in real life (IRL), and participating in fun, energizing, and inspiring experiences. It takes just one person to spark change and to get others engaged and involved. If you've got an idea you've been thinking about, start talking to others and make it happen! ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less.

Here are some of the ways Emerging Prairie created a memorable and impactful TEDx event.  Two days before TEDx, attendees were invited to participate in “curated dinners” where they had dinner with people they had never met before. This was beneficial to the participants as well as local restaurants.  When talks were not in progress, TEDx attendees enjoyed lawn games, live music, lunch, coffee, kite-flying, and other activities. The setup was a catalyst for meeting new people and hanging out with friends. After TEDx, participants enjoyed an after-party and an after-after-party!

Some podcasts are transformational, and this is one of them for me. In today's episode of the If Anne Can podcast, I'm talking to Kim Gowland, and she explains the difference between change and transition. A process that can be bewildering and confusing for many of us.  Kim and I discuss  The difference between change and transitionChange is external, something happening to us, e.g. change of job or having a baby. Transition is the psychological process brought about by change.    The Process of TransitionLetting go: E.g. of identity or something we loveNeutral zone: we know we've let go, but we don't know what's next. This is where people feel confused.New beginning: this comes at the end of the process after the work to achieve clarity is completed.Looking for MeaningTransition as a joyful journey if approached with a  spirit of curiosity Rediscovering values, finding confidence and a sense of purposeTaking ActionStaying accountable and generating momentumTaking responsibility and being proactiveUnderstanding procrastinationLooking out for signs and being alert for things to emergeThe paradox of choiceUnderstanding transition as a life skillEnjoying the journey ReferencesThe Book Kim mentioned: Transitions; Making Sense of Life's Changes: William Bridges.The book I gave to Kim: Range: how Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World: David EpsteinKim Gowland's BioExecutive and Leadership Coach.

 How will you know when…. … you happy? … you achieved your fitness goals? … you earning enough money?  … your personal relationships fulfilling? ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting.

Conflict in the workplace is a part of life, but how it's handled can mean the difference between success and failure. Productivity and conflict are not opposites. In fact, productively addressing conflict is what keeps a company functioning and thriving.    The ideas below were first published in my CEO Today article:Co-Founder Conflict: Productive or Destructive? ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Conflicts are inevitable. How do you stop destructive conflict from eroding your business? Here's how to create a healthy working environment for everyone involved:    Maintain and protect a regularly scheduled meeting just with your co-founder(s). Meet in person when you can, by video meeting as a second option, and by telephone if needed. Move beyond tactics and to-do's to discuss how you're each feeling, what's next for the business, what's happening that's great and risks to be aware of. This should not be a superficial meeting!   Resolve One Open Thing (ROOT ™) with your co-founder or team member. Consider those topics and friction points that come up again and again. Get to the root of what's happening. This can take a lot of discussion and introspection. What seems to be the cause is often just a symptom of something else.   Resolving one open thing can make all the difference in keeping a team focused, positive and productive. Resolving recurring conflicts opens up time to create new services, and products and grow your team.       Take a DiSC Productive Conflict Assessment to find out how you and your co-founders deal with conflict. Review results as a team with your coach. This is something I do with clients on a regular basis and it gives each person valuable perspective.   ---------------------------------------------- We all experience conflict—but that doesn't mean it has to be destructive. Be aware of making your conflicts constructive and helpful, not hurtful and damaging. Here are more co-founder resources to help grow and sustain your business. ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

As we face the challenges of the future, our leaders must be ready and willing to have tough conversations. Excusing rude or inappropriate behavior doesn't help anyone in the long run. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Here are reasons why leaders make excuses for their staff. Consider if you have a tendency to do any of these yourself. The employee is someone they have a personal history with. It can be challenging to create new dynamics when two people have an established relationship and ways of communicating.   They are conflict avoidant. Confronting issues is an important part of a leader's job, but also a necessary step in learning and development Reframe challenging conversations as “leadership conversations.”.       They worry that someone will quit if they point out their inappropriate behaviors. This may be true and this may create an opportunity to level up the team with a higher-performing team member To succeed in business, it's critical to ensure that your people are doing the best they can do. they may need resources and support that you can provide. If you avoid discussing their challenges, they may never reach their potential. ---------------------------------------------- What are the most difficult conversations you've had as a leader and what have you learned about yourself in the process?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on leadership conversations! ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

The most successful business owners are always planning for the next stage of their business. If you're a business owner or a leader, consider what your organization could look like in the next 5, 10, or even 20 years. To visualize this, I recommend creating your future organizational chart. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Organize, plan, and build your future. Here's how to create your future org chart. Take out a blank piece of paper. When you think big, the sky's the limit. So go ahead and write a description of what your organization might look like in the future.   Place yourself at the top of the org chart.   Create boxes for the leaders who will report to you and imagine who might report to each of them. Fill in job titles or short descriptions and don't be concerned with the names of people at this stage. In fact, locking into your mind specific people to fill each of these slots can be limiting.   Use this future org chart to keep yourself on track as you plan and execute your vision. Let's talk about your business vision. I look forward to seeing how you use this tool! ---------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

Leaders, CEOs, and founders who have benefited from great coaching know how powerful it can be in setting and achieving goals, so it's natural to want to recreate the experience for your team. But is hiring an external, professional coach a good investment for all employees? On today's #AskAkua episode of the Open Door Conversations Podcast, certified executive and leadership coach Akua will answer this common question in depth so you can make the best decision when it comes to supporting your team. This is part 1 in a 3 part series that dives into Akua's perspective on coaching and what you can expect (and not expect) from working with a coach.Akua believes everyone deserves a great coach and that anyone can benefit from coaching tools and techniques (almost immediately), but that does not mean everyone will necessarily benefit from a coach. In this episode, you'll learn why and how to pinpoint your employees' needs and support them best. Finally, you'll get a list of helpful questions to help identify if a coach is the right fit for your employees or yourself! Highlights from This Episode:There are many types and definitions of coaching; Akua defines hers based on the International Coaching Federation. She also explains what coaching is NOT.In order to benefit from coaching, you must be able to reflect and take action. Learn how Akua leverages coaching around helping you set and plan goals. Coachability is the ability to accept feedback and try to improve.Akua talks about how to recognize which employees are and are not coachable.Identify the best way to support your team members and why investing in outside coaching probably isn't the best choice. Coaching is based on relationships, so a coach that works for you may not be right for someone else.Why imposing coaching on someone is not productive.Learn what to ask when looking for the right coach for you or your team.If you are interested in working with a certified executive and leadership coach, Akua would love to hear from you. She works with overwhelmed, entrepreneurial-minded leaders to help them increase productivity, improve performance and profitability, and, most importantly, build better relationships with their people. Connect with Akua Nyame-Mensah:Instagram: @akua_nmWebsite: www.akuanm.comLinkedIn: @Akua Nyame-MensahTwitter: @akua_nmWork with AkuaLearn how to make the most of your current Leadership Style by taking my Quiz 

Meetings are a great way to communicate with large groups, but sometimes they exclude something important to share. Here's a solution borrowed from a teacher ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- I value diversity and inclusion and strive to include as many voices as possible in meetings that I facilitate. I learned about equity sticks while working with the SEED School of Maryland's leadership team. Equity sticks are a tool frequently used by teachers. Sidenote…Teachers are the greatest facilitators in the world! I'll be looking for more tips from them!   Here are some of the disadvantages of having a different skin color in society I observed throughout the years: As the meeting starts, each person writes their name on 3-5 craft sticks/popsicle sticks. you can also use index cards, pieces of paper, or another tool. The sticks are collected and the facilitator holds them in a cup. As opportunities to participate arise, the facilitator picks a stick from the cup and calls on that person. that stick is then placed in a separate cup. The sticks set the expectation that everyone in the meeting will participate. This eliminates the common challenge of one or two people dominating the conversation and helps to ensure that all voices are heard equitably. When we encourage each other to share their thoughts and stories, every voice has a chance to be heard and our perspectives are enriched. ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

Have you ever noticed how your perspective on life, business, and social interactions can dramatically change just because of the color of your skin? The color of your skin doesn't define who you are, but it can have an impact on your life and perspective ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Here are some of the disadvantages of having a different skin color in society I observed throughout the years:  Underestimated educational abilities. Others will look at you with great skepticism. People might think you're doing something terrible.   Shockingly, even today, some white people think they are better than other races. It's time to break the silence and stand up against racism with books like White Rage I discovered recently. It's about how racism has been used in the past to divide people and create conflict, but it doesn't have to be that way! I definitely recommend that book! While there's nothing wrong with being a darker shade of brown, having darker skin would definitely play up the exotic element. Why not be the fairest of them all? It's time to break the color barrier at work and in our society Now, what has the color of your skin taught you? I'd love to hear your story! ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

How do you respond when you ask a question and don't get an answer? When you don't receive a “yes” or a “no” do you assume it's a maybe? Do you assume you did something wrong and it's a “no”? Do you assume a “yes” is coming? The Ladder of Inference is a model that describes how our minds work when faced with uncertainty. Do you tend to climb a positive or a negative ladder of inference? Most of us lean toward the negative ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Ladder of Inference This is a model that describes the steps that we take, mentally, to reach a conclusion and then take an action.   Here are the “rungs” of the Ladder of Inference from a negative perspective… Selected Reality This is where you are selecting the “facts” that work best for your situation and your beliefs. Interpreted reality Based on those selected facts, you add negative meaning to the situation or to that silent response you are experiencing.   Assumptions Here you are assuming that the silence means “no” based on your interpreted reality and that your proposal will be rejected by your client. Conclusion In this rung, you convince yourself that silence equals a no!   Beliefs Now your assumptions which became your conclusion are set in your mind as a belief. However, you haven't checked the facts and if you had researched further or given it more time, you may have identified a different situation. Action Now you take action based on your negative belief. Perhaps you reach out to your client with a nasty note and cause unnecessary turmoil.

Have you played Wordle? It's a game published by the New York Times where you try to identify the “word of the day” in six turns or less. I'm taking on a challenge from my “Wordle friend” to use today's word in a sentence. And of course, I'm taking it a step further and creating a podcast around it. Today's word… AGAPE ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- What does "Agape" mean? Agape love is unconcerned with the self and concerned with the greatest good of another.  Agape is a choice. It is a state of mind, a way of being with yourself and others, a way of being in the world.   Agape requires faithfulness, commitment, and sacrifice without expecting anything in return. The love that we never expect, the kind that makes us vulnerable.The love that fills our hearts with joy, happiness, and peace.   Agape can also be read as agape - as in… I was so astounded that my mouth was agape!   Agape reminds me of Agapi Stephanopoulos, a speaker, author, and facilitator with Thrive Global. Agapi, whose sister is Ariana Huffington, is Greek and I wonder if she was named after agape love. Check out her books including, Unbinding the Heart - A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love and Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life. Wordle is a fun and easy way to keep your vocabulary fresh with a new set of letters to discover. Now it's your turn, what is your favorite word?  ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

Inventors are always considering how to create a new service, product, or concept. This helps businesses and people to evolve. Do you consider the future when planning for the present? How can you cultivate an inventor mindset? ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- What does the inventor mindset mean? Inventors constantly think about creating something new. Inventors think ahead and have a “treasure trove” of ideas and projects they can tip into in the future. Always consider the future when planning for the present. Inventors look for new clients who use their services in different ways to stay creative and continuously consider expanding the scope of their work. Thomas Edison said, “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”   Considerations for research and development: When you are actually doing research, it's not goofing around! Find a balance between current work and future potential. When you feel that inventing something new is a waste of time and not worth it, don't give up! Continue to do research and learn as you go. Eventually, you'll discover something that generates revenue, changes the marketplace, and gives you satisfaction. ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

How do you handle a NO? It's a matter of attitude!  Know that NOs are a part of life and adopt a mindset of using it to your advantage or be continuously disappointed. It's your choice. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Robin De Wind covered a wide range of news stories for television in the Rochester, NY area for 25 years. Now, she creates written, video, and audio content for businesses and non-profits. As a reporter, she was used to handling NOs and uses that mindset to grow her business today! Learn more here! ----------------------------------------------- Here's how to control your response when you get a NO… Consider NO, slammed doors, hang-ups, or insults from others as a definitive response that helps you to move forward. This is better than silence!  When you get a NO, always smile, say thank you and move on to another potential target. When someone gives you a “no,” that doesn't determine your future. It's an opportunity to get a "yes" from someone else and create a new connection. Don't expect a “yes” every time. Prepare yourself for a “no” and imagine how you'll handle it. ----------------------------------------------- I challenge you to think about how you respond when you get a “no.” What's your best possible reaction? If you haven't already, listen to Episode 83 for tips on how to say NO to manage your time, commitments, and comfort level yourself! ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

Saying YES is one of the easiest things to do in our society, but saying NO is one of the most powerful tools you have.  My challenge to you is….what can you say no to? ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! -----------------------------------------------  Here's how to say NO…. When someone asks you for help, consider your options. Do you have the time and energy to provide the assistance? Dare to be honest if this would jeopardize your plans. Think before you say yes. When you say “yes” you shut the door on another opportunity. When someone asks you to get involved with something, take your time before answering. Pause before saying Yes! Come up with a response that is natural to you and practice it with a friend or in front of the mirror.     Some responses you could consider practicing when you don't want to say NO yet…   “Let me think about that”  “Can I get back to you on that?”  “I'll check my schedule and let you know.” “I have a few other things pending, and I'm not sure about my timeframe. I'm not sure about my availability in the next week. Can I get back to you?” “No, I don't have time for that. I'm sorry! That sounds awesome. I just have another thing that I'm committed to doing” ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here
