Podcasts about Reinvention

I often hear people say, “I have this awareness but now what?” What they are really asking is, “ How do I create change?” In this episode, we talk about how to create the change you are seeking once you have the awareness using the transformation equation coined by Nancy Levin, which is CHANGE=VISION+CHOICE+ACTION.   Continue the conversation:  Instagram @dianesorensen.net  Facebook @DianeSorensen  https://www.dianesorensen.net/contact     Beautiful Behavior Defined - Free Lunch & Learn: Topic for September is, Feeling Grounded with Hypnosis  Register here: https://www.dianesorensen.net/registration-page    Free Resources:   3 Steps to Reinvention https://www.dianesorensen.net/reinvent-dl  Self-Compassion Script https://www.dianesorensen.net/self-compassion

But Nobody's Talking About!The latest episode of Capability Amplifier just dropped and it's a doozy. (If you have kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews… you really need to check this one out.)In this jam-packed episode, Dan and Mike dove deep into discussions about the future of education and how learning really happens.As two entrepreneurs who forged their own paths outside the traditional education system, they had a fascinating conversation about what's broken in education today and how learning can be improved for the next generation.A few highlights: Dan and Mike questioned whether formal education systems are even necessary anymore in the age of the internet and Ai. Knowledge is everywhere now - do we really need schools and universities? Dan shared his perspective that rigid educational systems stifle creativity. True learning happens through experience and creation, not memorizing facts in classrooms. Mike described his vision for the future - a world where every child can launch a business by age 12-14, with the help of technology like Ai. Way better than saddling them with student debt! They explored the idea that the greatest "educational system" is freeing yourself from other people's systems and forging your own path. They covered a ton more ground - including the power of apprenticeship, the military origins of many Fortune 500 CEOs and the entrepreneurial energy pulsing through places like MIT.This was one of their most exciting and enlightening sessions yet. Dan is a master provocateur and always gets Mike's neurons firing!Have a listen and let's hear your key takeaways. What did you find most interesting or inspiring? What are your ideas for improving education?Key Takeaways (04:00) Mike believes teachers should become multi-millionaires (09:10) The evolution of education in the US (12:08) Education, religion and technology (21:24) How Ai is going to change education (27:09) Dan doesn't believe in aliens Additional Resources Download Mike's free Ai Superpower Accelerator Toolkit to Multiply Your Productivity 10x or More!

Do you experience frustration, anger, and/or resistance with “chores” and your children? I did too and I hear many parents voice this frustration. It has created curiosity within me, and I wanted to take a deeper look at this dynamic. We also have a teenager in our home, and we have been exploring what household tasks might look like, sound like and feel like from a new perspective. A perspective of collaboration versus reward and punishment. It has been insightful as we engage in conversations and collaborate on possible solutions. One thing I have learned is that solutions evolve over time. And as solutions evolve so does the relationship.   We are taking “chores” from obligation and power struggle to collaboration and growth. It is both emotionally uncomfortable and empowering for all involved.   This is a BIG conversation and one that may create some fear and discomfort. I would love to hear your thoughts.

From facing death twice—once through addiction and later on the brink of suicide—to ascending the corporate ladder as the CFO of a Fortune 500 company, Tom's story is a testament to resilience and determination. Behind every accolade lies a tale of inner conflict. By 2018, despite a storied professional life, Tom felt a spiritual void so profound that it pushed him to the precipice of despair. But through sheer willpower, by 2021, he pivoted to dedicating his life to assisting men in overcoming addiction. Observing the wider mental health crisis affecting males in America, he's now on a mission to uplift and support them. Away from the limelight, Tom's personal life is filled with both triumphs and challenges. Married to Elena for 20 years, they've nurtured their three children amidst life's storms. Kerry, their eldest, is on the cusp of graduating from Georgetown Law. Seamus, their second child, courageously serves as an Army Ranger. Meanwhile, Cole, the youngest, is a national oarsman set to row for Brown University. In this episode, Tom opens up about these trials, reflecting on the duality of professional success and personal struggle. While Tom acknowledges his imperfections as a father, he's steadfast in his commitment. His children are a testament to his efforts, each forging their own path of success. He recalls moments, like feeding his newborn son, that brought clarity to his life.  Tom's journey is a beacon for all who face life's adversities. It serves as a reminder that with introspection, perseverance, and support, one can rise from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of success. Eager to dive deeper into his story?

The Brooklyn Badass (ft. Alec Melman)OPENING QUOTE:“Being adaptable and being patient, that'll answer for those feelings of frustration. If you can hold on long enough, good things happen.”-Alec MelmanGUEST BIO:Alec Melman is co-founder and CEO of Gotham Artists, one of the most successful and respected talent agencies in the country. Founded in 2009, Gotham is known for its innovative approach and unique roster of talent that stretches from keynote speakers to musicians, stand up comics and more. For 14 years, Alec has helped guide and grow Gotham every step of the way through intense and dramatic changes in the industry.Links:BioLinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[5:33] - The Extra InchLittle things that add up to big impactTo Alec, explaining Gotham's success as a bureau is simple: customer service. Gotham is simply “a little faster, a little nicer, and a little sharper.” Things like getting back to people quickly makes them stand out relative to the inefficiencies of some other bureaus, and that's led Gotham to grow at the astonishing rate it has.[10:36] - The Agency-Speaker ConnectionWhen to go exclusive and how to know it's time for a changeAlec discusses how most of Gotham's exclusive partnerships with speakers grow out of existing relationships. He expresses how bureaus want to go exclusive with speakers they've worked with before, having booked 7-10 dates before even broaching the exclusive conversation. How does this apply to speakers? Be patient. Building those bureau relationships in your non-exclusive days will pay dividends down the road.[28:39] - Ongoing Connection in the Digital EraWhy Alec is a believer in virtual keynotesAlec believes that people who don't believe in virtual keynotes and other disruptive technologies fail to understand them. They're not the “redheaded stepchild” of in-person — they're a unique opportunity in their own right. He uses the example of a $100,000 speaking budget. An in-person event would spend that budget on one or two massive names, one big splash. That has value, of course. But so does spreading that budget out over 12 monthly installments, bringing in smaller names who can cover a range of topics. Virtual isn't better or worse than in-person, it's simply a separate opportunity.[30:33] - The Bureau of LessHow doing less for speakers helps Gotham serve them betterAlec approaches every decision for his clients using the “triangle of decision-making.” Is it profitable? Is it fun? Does it match our long-term vision? If the answer to all of those questions isn't an enthusiastic “yes,” then it's not right. “I don't want to take our eyes off the prize and start focusing on ancillary activities,” he says. “If the opportunity knocks, we'll be ready for it, but I'm not going out of my way and trying to make that materialize.In this way, Gotham serves its clients by doing a few things very, very well, rather than trying to do 100 things somewhat competently. Gotham's focus, not their breadth, has allowed them to grow and excel.RESOURCES:[1:46] About Gotham ArtistsFollow Alec Melman:LinkedInFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

During NeoCon 2023, Doug sat down with Stefanie Ince—a career coach who helps people find their passion and purpose in work. The conversation goes all the way back to the basics of sleeping enough, eating healthy, and getting enough exercise. These three basics tend to fall to the wayside when people get wrapped up in their work.But more than the basics, what makes you happy? It's important to be intentional about figuring out what gives you energy and ignites your passion—even if it means going against conventional wisdom. Can you find this naturally or does it need to be intentionally sought out? And once you find it, can it ever change?Stefanie talks about people such as Doug—someone who is very passionate about what he does—but still has to find variety and new challenges to keep his passion alive. Be open to reinventing yourself multiple times over in life. But most importantly, tell the truth about yourself in the best possible light when pursuing new opportunities.Stefanie loves coaching others and holding space for her clients to explore themselves.

One of the biggest concerns organization leaders have these days is the labor market: how to win (and keep talent). And for good reason. These days, it's harder than ever to find and retain a great team. But no matter what external factors are impacting the job market, CEOs and managers can always control one thing: their leadership style. And chances are, they've been thinking about their leadership all wrong.    Joining us on the Measure Success Podcast is one of the top leadership experts in the world. Stephen M. R. Covey is the New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “The Speed of Trust,” which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. In this podcast, we discuss his latest book, “Trust and Inspire.”    He's also the co-founder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Global Trust Practice. A sought-after and compelling keynote speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics, and collaboration, he speaks to audiences around the world.    Tune into this special episode for more on Stephen's advice for how leaders can stay relevant in the labor market (no matter the external conditions), the healthier alternative to a “command and control” leadership style, the core “stewardships” that leaders have, and, of course, several of Stephen's top book recommendations.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    Why Stephen's process to finish his latest book was a 17-year journey The differences between a “command and control” leader and a “trust and inspire” one, and why context is so crucial to both methods The data behind a high-trust work culture and why the “trust and inspire” leadership value can be so powerful for shareholder value, innovation, productivity, and more How leaders can move their team from engagement to inspiration How leaders can win the war for talent, and what they need to change about their leadership styles in order to be on the cutting edge of the next era of work Some real-world examples of leaders who have changed their styles and seen great results The difference between being and doing, and why both are so important for leaders to be effective  More details about the 3 stewardships that Stephen describes in his book How to stimulate more openness and transparency within a workplace More about Stephen's relationship with his father, the well-known bestselling author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” Why inspiration is a learnable skill for leaders How Stephen measures success, both in business and in his personal life Additional resources from Stephen for leaders who want to bring the best out of their teams and stay relevant amidst a new era of work   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: FranklinCovey website Stephen M.

Grounded in a Higher Calling (ft. Jessica Encell Coleman, Jesse Israel, and Light Watkins)Three purpose-based speakers share their perspectivesOPENING QUOTE:“We often think that time is our most valuable asset, but if you're not present during the time that you have, then you're essentially squandering that time.”-Light WatkinsGUEST BIO:Jesse Israel is the founder of The Big Quiet, which turns meditation into the social practice of connection, and has led to the New York Times calling him "the meditation expert". He's on a mission to connect leaders to their joy and power so they can make a fulfilling contribution to the world. He shared his message to thousands on tour with Oprah, so he knows how to deliver both internal and external impact.Links:WebsiteInstagramTwitterLight Watkins is an expert meditation teacher and thought leader who has written three bestsellers on inner peace and consulted with some of the biggest organizations in the world on the topics of wellness, purpose, and enlightened leadership. He's been the meditation coach to some of the most influential celebrities in the world.Links:WebsiteTwitterInstagramJessica Encell Coleman is a love activist, empowerment educator, and creator of The Magic of Human Connection. Her amazing workshops have paved the way for thousands of people to feel more love for themselves, each other, and the planet.Links:WebsiteInstagramCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[3:39] - Letting Your Mind WinMeditation is about surrender, not victoryMany of us in the speaking industry are intensely competitive — even if it's competition with ourselves. We want to master ourselves and help others master themselves through our work. The result is that we often look at meditation as a battle with your mind. But your mind will always win that battle. In reality, meditation is about working in connection with your thinking mind, which ultimately leads to profoundly settled mental states and the ability to tap into a deeper understanding of yourself and the world.[12:53] - When Pride is a Good ThingWhen you're proud of what you do, you do it betterWe tend to equate our self-worth with how we feel we're performing in our various “roles,” in life and in our careers. Are we succeeding in business? Are we excelling as speakers? But when we can let go of this aspirational focus and simply be proud of ourselves for doing work we feel has value, we can let go of these insecurities that often put up barriers between us and our audience. When we do that, we let go of a highly emotional state of decision-making and become a more powerful operator of the facets of our lives.[14:38] - The Subject They Don't Teach You in SchoolWhy connection is as essential as math or physicsJessica highlights the way that caring for ourselves, caring for others, and caring for the planet make up the ingredients of a fulfilled life — and yet we don't teach any of these things in any level of formal education. That's why so many people misunderstand what it means to be connected to the people and world around us, and to ourselves. As speakers, the ability to connect with people in a genuine way is absolutely essential. Formal training on human connection can benefit us all immensely.[19:29] - There's (Literally) No Time Like the PresentWhy focusing on the present moment is a good long-term moveBeing “grounded” or “present” doesn't just sound nice. It's a very real way to refocus yourself when you become obsessively focused on what comes next. Light recommends making a quick mental list of ten things you're grateful for. Gratitude is a cheat code for presence, he says, that instantly grounds us in the things around us for which we're grateful. Because gratitude is so present-focused — “I'm grateful for X, Y and Z that I have right now.” — it breaks us out of the rhythm of constantly thinking about the future.RESOURCES:[1:51] The Big QuietFollow Jesse Israel:WebsiteInstagramTwitterFollow Light Watkins:WebsiteTwitterInstagramFollow Jessica Encell Coleman:WebsiteInstagramFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Hi #AmWriters! Jess here to talk about what I've been up to this summer and hoping some of it proves helpful for you. That's why we started this podcast years ago - to flatten the learning curve for other writers. Here I am, almost a decade out from the publication of The Gift of Failure and I have this new book, The Addiction Inoculation, on a topic that can be scary to some people (substance use disorder! eeeek!) as you know, I'm always looking for ways to get books in the hands of new readers, get information into the heads of people who need to know it, and keep my speaking career afloat. This summer, I did a massive marketing re-invention because the speaking engagements that have been going particularly well are not about one book or the other, but both. I've been using The Gift of Failure as a Trojan Horse to get the Addiction Inoculation substance use prevention content out to audience members who need to hear it but who might be reluctant to attend a talk advertised solely as ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION. Behind the scenes moment, I just texted Sarina and KJ in our group chat: Anyway, back to marketing. I came up with some new ideas and while researching those, stumbled upon a conference aimed squarely at the people doing substance use prevention work on the ground. I decided to go to the conference to meet them and get my book into their hands, and I tell you all about how it went. I wanted to share what I learned and some strategies that were helpful to me as well as a reminder that the success of our books does not hinge on pub day. Sure, a great pub day is helpful and can get you on one of those coveted lists, but there's a lot to love about the slow burn book, the perennial seller, the evergreen content.#AmReading:The Woodkin by Alexander JamesNever Enough by Jennifer Breheny WallaceErasing the Finish Line by Ana HomayounMiddle School Superpowers by Phyllis FagellGrowing Up in Public by Devorah HeitnerRaising Empowered Athletes by Kirsten JonesCalm the Chaos by Dayna AbrahamHi!

In this captivating episode with Joanne Lipman, we dive deep into the transformative power of Reinvention, both in life and work. Joanne's personal journey starts with her childhood interests, igniting her path in journalism – a journey that underscores the significance of reconnecting with our passions when embarking on a Reinvention quest. Together, we emphasize that Reinvention is a process of growth, building upon our past experiences and skills rather than discarding them. Joanne introduces an invaluable four-step roadmap to Reinvention, urging us to confront our fear of change, visualize our future selves, and take deliberate steps towards our aspirations. Throughout our conversation, we underscore the pivotal role of a supportive network and the concept of an expert companion who provides valuable guidance along the way. Joanne's wisdom encourages us to prepare for Reinvention, challenging the myth of instant success. Later in the interview, we explore the positive aspect of fear as a potent motivator and delve into the complexities of imposter syndrome. Joanne shares her book "Next" as a comprehensive guide for navigating life's changes, drawing from her rich experience as a pioneering journalist and bestselling author. Our conversation also underscores the importance of self-care, embracing moments of reprieve, and staying open to serendipitous opportunities. Join us on this enlightening journey of self-discovery and growth!  Some powerful takeaways from today's episode: Embrace Fear as Motivation: Fear, when framed correctly, can serve as a powerful motivator, driving personal and professional growth and inspiring action. Visualize and Prepare for Change: Overcoming imposter syndrome and navigating Reinvention require envisioning yourself in your desired role and taking gradual, deliberate steps to prepare for it. Cultivate a Supportive Network: Surround yourself with individuals who both support and challenge you, fostering an environment of encouragement and growth while avoiding those who discourage your aspirations. Trust Gut Feelings and Aha Moments: Listening to your instincts and recognizing aha moments can lead to valuable insights and unexpected opportunities along your journey. Prioritize Self-Care and Disconnect: Maintain your well-being, creativity, and life balance by practicing self-care, taking breaks, and disconnecting from work when necessary. Embrace Past Experiences: The Reinvention process often builds upon past experiences and skills, utilizing them as valuable building blocks for crafting your new path in life and work.

Striking a Chord (ft. Chris Barton)Listen-in with the founder of the world's most innovative listening appOPENING QUOTE:“There's so many unique ways of doing things, and the key thing is to question the assumptions. Don't assume that what holds true for one other speaker, holds true for you.”-Chris BartonGUEST BIO:If you've ever heard music playing and wondered, “Hey, what song is this?” You have Chris Barton to thank for the answer. Chris is the founder and former CEO of Shazam, the music identification app that went from “impossible” according to MIT professors, to “ahead of its time,” in a world with no apps or app stores, to becoming the 6th largest acquisition by Apple in the history of the company in 2018.Chris is also a founding member of Google's Android Partnerships team, holds 12 patents, and founded Guard, a system that uses AI to prevent drowning in swimming pools. Of course, Chris is also an incredible (and incredibly successful) keynote speaker on how to rethink obstacles and take inspired action.Links:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[5:50] - Being Ahead of Your Time Means Lots of WaitingHow innovation can feel frustratingYou probably first heard of the song-identifying app Shazam some time in the last several years. It seems like sometime around the mid-2010s, Shazam was everywhere, leading up to its being acquired by Apple in one of the company's biggest acquisitions of all time.But Shazam was actually launched in 2002, spent six years barely escaping bankruptcy, and only survived thanks to Apple's App Store finally launching in 2008. Shazam was ahead of its time. And while that concept conjures images of billionaire innovators beating the market and blowing minds, the truth is that it often means a lot of waiting for the world to catch up. If you're ahead of the curve in your arena, it may feel a lot like you've missed the train. In reality, the train just has to catch up to you.[20:35] - Start with First PrinciplesMake a habit of ignoring what's expectedChris often turns to the scientific and philosophical concept of first principles: beginning any train of thought with no assumptions. It's a matter of breaking down everything into the most basic truths, which then leads you to question the things that are assumed to be truths but may not be.For example, there was an assumption that you have to recognize what's playing on the radio in order to tell people what song they're hearing. That was an assumption which Shazam turned on its head.Where can you challenge assumptions in your own life and career? What do people currently “know” that just ain't so?[22:17] - Innovate EverythingFrom your story to your conversationsChris shares a compelling story about how he landed a great apartment in an “impossible” market. By determining that landlords were always the first people to know when an apartment was becoming available, he bypassed the gatekeepers and found out about new opportunities first. Chris advocates for applying this principle across your life and career. He builds on his “first principles” idea to show that every aspect of what you do is an opportunity to innovate. Every process, every convention, was at one point a crazy new idea. How might a crazy new idea change your life?[27:55] - You're a Product, and That's OkayBeing objective can transform your career for the betterAs keynote speakers, we tend not to like thinking of ourselves as products. It feels like an oversimplification, a cold and calculated idea. But Chris argues that when you think of yourself and your message as your product, you free yourself from the self-consciousness that comes with self-assessment. You can take on feedback, criticism, and opportunities for improvement without personal feelings getting in the way. You can make your product — your keynote and the way you deliver it — the best possible product it can be.RESOURCES:[1:52] The Story of Shazam[10:17] About BigSpeak[30:04] About Alison LevineFollow Chris Barton:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

In this insightful podcast conversation with Jim Wilson, we discuss various aspects of career transitions, personal growth, mentorship and the importance of fostering a balanced and authentic life. Jim Wilson, CEO of Talon US, shares his journey from finance to marketing, highlighting the pivotal role mentors played in enabling these transitions. He emphasizes the value of creating an open forum for ideas, allowing them to emerge from any source, and encourages leaders to facilitate such environments. Our conversation revolves around the significance of maintaining a well-rounded life, finding balance between career and personal pursuits, and embracing moments of change and Reinvention. Jim shares how parenthood has taught him to slow down and be present and how experiences from being on boards, both commercial and not-for-profit, have helped him grow as a board member overall. We conclude with discussions on authenticity, fostering a positive work culture, and inspiring others to embrace change and authenticity in their journey of Reinvention. This is one you'll want to tune in for! Some powerful takeaways from today's episode: Career transitions can be transformative, and mentors often play a crucial role in enabling these shifts. Creating an open environment for ideas to emerge from any source fosters innovation and growth. Balancing career and personal life is essential, and parenthood can teach us to be present and slow down. "Move before you move": Leaning into new opportunities and experiences can lead to personal and professional growth. Being authentic and creating a positive work culture can inspire teams and contribute to a company's success. Involvement in boards, whether commercial or non-profit, can provide valuable experiences and skill development. Gratitude and reflection are key to acknowledging the impact of mentors and significant individuals in one's life.

Insights from a Booming Bureau (ft. Angela & Richard Schelp)Wit and wisdom from the dynamic husband-and-wife leaders of Executive Speakers BureauOPENING QUOTE:“People will always claim that we're a mid-range size bureau when we're not anymore. Now we're a large bureau, we just don't have George W. Bush as an exclusive, but we generate the kind of volumes and numbers that those people with the exclusives generate. So I think that's an area where I believe a lot of people underestimate us.” -Richard SchelpGUEST BIO:Angela and Richard Schelp are the dynamo husband and wife team that runs Executive Speakers Bureau. Their Memphis-based bureau is on a growth tear, nearly tripling their size over the last seven years. With humble roots dating back to 1993, Executive is now one of the largest and most respected speaker bureaus on the planet. Angela and Richard have enjoyed massive success while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, care for others, and deep commitment to professionalism. They serve clients, speakers, and team members with huge hearts — and a little dose of southern hospitality.Links:Executive Speakers BureauBureau HistoryCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[10:26] - Playing the Long GameHow speakers can burn bright without fizzling outWhy do some speakers endure the test of time while others fade quickly?Angela and Richard have seen the full range of careers for speakers — from the great to the not-so-great. They've found that the difference is strategic, long-term thinking. The speakers who play the long game, sacrifice their fee in strategic settings, work on projects with long-term potential even if they don't come with big short-term gains, are all vital.The other difference? Innovation. A willingness to reinvigorate and innovate on their speaking business day-in and day-out is what makes a speaking career that lasts.[14:59] - The Dos and Don'ts of Contacting BureausHow to make a powerful connectionWith a bureau as successful — and busy! — as Executive, the sad truth is that cold emails and calls often have to be disregarded. That highlights the importance of the “connection before the connection,” the contact that can give you a warm introduction to someone at a bureau you're pursuing.Further, bureau leaders want to see speakers who have invested in their careers. They want to see diligence, progress, and tenacity in continuously building their brand, message, and client list.[23:35] - From Early Traction to Massive AccelerationHow to move from growing to flowingWhat things have Richard and Angela seen that turn early, promising speakers into rocketships to massive success?Often, according to Richard, it comes down to that extra commitment to marketing. They may have a dedicated marketing team to develop a campaign, improve their assets, or reach new audiences. SEO can also be important to help with discovery, as can honing in on specific niches. The basics like testimonials also provide a strong foundation for future momentum.[26:04] - Exclusive or Not?When to go exclusive in your bureau relationshipRichard and Angela outline some of the key considerations when determining the right time to go exclusive with a bureau. If you have momentum, you're struggling to manage your career on your own, and you're commanding fees in the $15K-$20K range but want to bump up to $25K and beyond, then an exclusive partnership can help take you to that next level.That said, you must find a bureau that “gets” you, that has a vision for what you do, and which genuinely cares about your message and approach.RESOURCES:[1:49] The Executive StoryFollow Executive Speakers Bureau:FacebookTwitterLinkedInYouTubeFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Often misunderstood and equally under utilized, the power of Self-Reinvention! Let's explore the Who, the What, the Why, and eliminate any misconceptions so that you can make a clear choice for yourself."We're not running away from the past. We're blending the past with the future, to create the present that we want."Reinventing oneself is not about abandoning one's past or running away from who they are. Instead, it is about discovering a new side of who they are and tapping into their full potential. I encourage you to consider reinvention as a way to find happiness, purpose, and a fresh start in life. Inside of today's episode I provide a basic roadmap for the self-reinvention process, highlighting the benefits and opportunities it can bring.It is important for me to note, reinventing yourself is not about forgetting the past, but rather you having the choice to focus on life today. And as time goes by, I believe the pinnacle is when our past can blend with the future to create our truest, authentic selves in the present.EPISODE AT A GLANCEReinvention is not about abandoning one's past but discovering a new side of oneself.The desire for reinvention often arises when one feels stuck or unfulfilled in their current circumstances.Reinvention offers the opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to be happy and live authentically.It is possible to reinvent oneself through small, incremental changes or by making significant life choices, such as moving to a new location.Combining the old with the new can create a perfect blend of past experiences and future aspirations.LINKS & RESOURCESMENTIONED IN THE EPISODEKevin invites you to book a time to talk, should anything said inside of today's episode resonate with you.BE IN THE KNOW!CLICK HERE to Get on The OFFICIAL Email List for the Podcast!LINKS FOR THE PODCASTGrit, Grace, & InspirationHosted By Kevin LoweWEBSITE: www.GritGraceInspiration.comSEND KEVIN A VOICE MESSAGEBOOK A CALL WITH KEVINGuided by Faith.
