Hosts Nick Parker and Liesl Hays take a few minutes to discuss upcoming local events and since Wednesday is National 501c Day, the duo takes a few minutes to talk about some of the many local nonprofits serving the Lee's Summit community and how easy it is for residents to offer service be it donations of time, talent or treasure.

A now years-long effort to give teens a voice and help bring the community together in conversation about youth mental health continued this week with a community forum presented by Pro Deo Youth Center and ReDiscover at the Missouri Innovation Campus.

Walker and Johnson came to The Vault for a conversation with Nick Parker and Liesl Hays about their reactions to the event and where they think the conversation is headed next.

Everyone relax. Liesl is back home.

Everyone knows two of the main keys for business success lie in both timing and location.

In this episode, Liesl Hays shares her heartwrenching story of coming face to face with the truth of who she had become, deciding that was not the person she wanted to be, and changing her life.  Once she realized her story was a cautionary tale she needed to share with the world she embarked on her writing journey and now she's revealing the healing power of telling your story and the insider secrets to getting it done that anyone who wants to write their story can benefit from. 

Have you ever found yourself running on autopilot, and not checking in or asking yourself “is this situation right for me?” I know I've been there.  This is a place that so many of us find ourselves in without even realizing it.  We have a list of our daily needs, the ones that we are responsible for to keep our family and households running. Then we add on work, school, entrepreneurship, friendships, relationships… The list goes on and on. I know personally, I've found myself taking on extra tasks, or saying “yes” to too many opportunities. But we all need to stop and ask ourselves: “Is this lifestyle that I am living, helping me or hurting me?” Liesl Hays joins us today on The Business of Becoming to share her powerful story of finding herself in crisis, and how she was able to take a step back and find herself again.  It was so refreshing to have Liesl on the show and speak so openly and from a place of pure vulnerability, to allow for us to better understand the steps that she took to take a hold of her life. Are you struggling with time management? Or struggling with setting boundaries with the cast of people in your life?  If the answer is yes, listening to this episode is a MUST!    More on Liesl Hays: Liesl Hays is a word artist, truth-teller, choice-maker, and inspirer.

The corporate world can be rewarding for some people; we've heard of countless cases where people succeeded and built a fantastic career thanks to their skills, effort, consistency, and commitment. But for many others, the corporate world can turn into a torturing experience. Very often, people experience burnout, exhaustion, and profound unhappiness. Companies are obsessed with delivering the perfect service or product, and they push their employees to give 110% 24/7, live for the company, be constantly available, and smile on their faces. Joining me today is the inspiring Liesl Hays, HR Strategist, Author, and Entrepreneur. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Government from Kansas State University and a Leadership Certificate from the Kansas Public Health Leadership Institute. In her soon-to-be-published book Broken, Changed, and Rearranged, Liesl tells her story of burnout and self-inflicted 60 hours workweek, how she managed to get herself out of that place, and where she is now. In this episode, we had a beautiful conversation about choices, priorities, time management, alignment, and inner work. Liesl kindly shared her vision on working long hours, from Monday to Monday, for companies that will find a replacement in a month. We talked about the process of reaching the bottom of the pit in terms of mental exhaustion, and she shared her brilliant idea of being intentional with our time and align our activities with our priorities.
