Kelly Bowker, Director of Experience Design at EverQuote, a Boston based online provider of insurance policies joins us as she explores the role of luck in professional success, Kelly emphasizes that luck is not only about chance, but it can also involve favorable circumstances and events that work for or against individuals. She highlights the importance of self-reflection, being aware of one's strengths and limitations, and recognizing what one has control over. She shares personal experiences and insights on managing teams, she stresses the need to prioritize internal teams for effective job performance and regularly assess one's job alignment with personal values and potential. Kelly is reflecting on how she becomes a part of someone else's story and describes how people are always seeking the next shiny object and how the expectation of delight decreases over time as things become normal. She brings to surface, how humans crave change, even while also desiring stability.

In this episode we are discussing luck. Do you believe in luck, do you believe in being unlucky? I'm not a believer in luck, I believe in the Universal Laws of Vibration and Cause and Effect. Everything is energy. We all operate within vibrational energies. We think that we are unlucky when really we create constructs of vibrational energy.   I would invite you to look at how you are vibrating. Ask yourself:    What kind of vibration am I putting out there?   Am I showing up in the world with love and gratitude?   Am I looking for things that I am grateful for?   Do you find yourself unsure or stuck? Connect with Debbie at www.leadyourlituplife.com and schedule a 30 minute clarity call. She can help you become crystal clear about what you do want in your life and help provide tools so you can show up as your best self.   Debbie helps entrepreneurs make a lot of money, doing what they love without sacrificing what's important to them, so they can live the life they desire. She is passionate about helping other entrepreneurs lead their businesses instead of the business running their lives, so they can have their hopes, wishes and dreams come true. She also is an adjunct professor at Gonzaga University.

You’ve been working out like crazy, watching everything you eat, dropped 10 pounds, and feeling fabulous. You see your friend at a BBQ she comments, “You lost weight, you look great!” What should be a simple response from you turns into some self-deprecating, deflecting answer like, “I need to lose 10 more” or “Ugh, my butt is so flabby no matter what I do.” How about a simple “Thank you” for an answer? In this episode, we are going to explore the psychology around why we can’t just take the compliment and discuss the positive impact saying, “Thank you” can do to hold onto the warm, healthy energy being sent your way.Keep in mind that NOT taking the compliment can:Harm our careerDeflect the positive energy that is sent our way Keep you playing smallStart practicing accepting praise:Don’t say anything because our knee jerk reaction is not what we are aiming for here. No matter how uncomfortable, say nothing, and then say a simple, “Thank you.” You can’t just say those two words? How about adding this, “Thank you, you just made my day.” Start small. Remember 8% that we talk about all the time? You can do that here. Be purposeful in this and treat it as an adventure. Where a new sweater or a bright sweater -- you’ll definitely get compliments -- be prepared to say just those two words -- thank you. Hold on to the compliment. When you hold on to the feeling it leaves an impression in our brain and neural pathways.Give compliments! It’s fun to give compliments to others.

Episode 24 Show Notes: What’s Your Podcast Moment? Hey Gen X lady. Have you dreamt of writing a book and have yet to put pen to paper? Did you defer to a colleague when asked if you wanted to present to the board? Skip applying for the promotion because it involved being in front of clients? As you’re listening to this, we ask you to think about what your podcast moments were, and more likely, what they still are. What’s a “podcast moment”? They are the things you’ve been dreaming about that you haven’t gone after. In this week’s episode, we’re exploring how to be less risk-averse and...Why we don’t take risks;Why you need to live your life today;How change is the only path for growth.In order to have YOUR podcast moment, you need to make a habit of being uncomfortable. What does that mean?After being uncomfortable the first time, we need to be uncomfortable again and again. The more we get uncomfortable the more we stretch, change and grow.Mind Body Change connection:Physically: there’s something called inertia, the tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged. Continuing in its existing state of rest or uniform motion. Our bodies need to remain in inertia physically, our temperature, metabolism, weight, etc, so we physically fight against change.Mentally: Our brains hate change, it spends its entire being building up routines so it doesn’t have to work very hard. Our SCM resists change, takes the path of least resistance and relies on habits to get through our days.Join Our Facebook Group:Just Gen X — The Resting MindArticles + Podcasts Episodes:Secrets to Your Best Year Ever (podcast) What’s Luck Got to Do With It (podcast) Come on Gen X Lady, Here is How You Reach Your Goal (article) Confidence in Five Steps (article) Free Resources + Guides:4 Steps to Getting Where You Want to Go Reach out to set up your 90-minute power coaching intensive with Jackie or Mimi.

Ask 20 successful men about how they got to where they are today in their careers and they will confidently clamor on about all their skills and accomplishments.Ask the same question to 20 successful women, and by and large, they will attribute their success to being lucky. “I got lucky landing that role.” “I was in the right place at the right time.” “I was lucky to be introduced to the hiring manager.” Today, we want to pull apart the ideas around why women claim luck is the backbone for their success, the emotional tug-of-war that happens when we need to own our worth and share examples of ways to get comfortable bragging about your work and worth. How to Stop Attributing our Success to Luck:Stop giving away your success: As women, we tend to be highly focused on our team, boasting about their successes and ensuring the higher-ups all know what a wonderful job they are doing. This is absolutely fabulous and should be part of the strategy. This also needs to be coupled with you owning and vocalizing your own contributions to the team, how you lead them and what your role was as well. You can’t give credit away completely without hurting yourself.Success isn’t the Norm:Know what you’re good at and acknowledge it. We assume that what we do right is what we are ‘supposed to do’ or that ‘everyone does this’ but that isn’t the case. Your skills are your own, they aren’t the norm, so don’t brush them off as if it’s no big deal. Don’t take for granted the everyday tasks that make you successful.Confidently brag:There’s no place for 1920’s modesty in 2020.

And it's this book we focus on during our discussion, specifically: superstition as a belief system; the impact of ‘lucky' boots; why athletes have superstitions; the ‘actual truth' vs the ‘awful truth'; luck vs chance and probability; self-talk; law of attraction and superstitions as a source of comfort. 

In Episode 6, Angela recounts a conversation over lunch with a group of dynamic, accomplished women during a week that included meetings with high achieving women at the top of their game. When 'luck' is brought into the conversation, she quickly shares her perspective - which is the focus of today's Aha! Moment.

Some thoughts about luck and the very real impact it has on our trading results.

Waiting for your big break?  Hoping that the stars will align and bring you good fortune? Many people live by chance (aka “Luck”), just waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting (crickets) for something amazing to happen. The good news is that you do not have to wait on luck anymore (yay) because YOU have the power to change your  life right in the palms of your hands.

Talent + Opportunity = Success, right…? Why does success feel so far from reach sometimes? Extremely talented people often find little to no success while your averagely-skilled peer might be raking in the dough and digits. We like to think that’s some ol’ bullllll. But digging deeper, why does that happen? This week, we take a look at the recipe for success and why talent only plays one part in the larger equation.

My regular guest on Front Line Friday is Bridget Gleason. Bridget is VP of Corporate Sales at SumoLogic. With more than twenty years of sales and sales management experience in the technology sector, Bridget joined SumoLogic’s executive team to lead and grow their inside sales organization.

First, what is the role of luck in sales? Is it really true in sales that the harder you work, the luckier you get? And, why do sales leaders often overlook the hard work that goes into making a deal look easy? Second, we talk about why sales leads aren’t consistently followed up. The problem starts with the lack of a defined process for managing leads and we’ll tell you what you can do to fix that problem. If you’re in charge of a sales team, be sure to join us for Front Line Friday!
