In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

This week's episode is about:Learning when you will be ready for a new relationship.Learning why awareness, understanding, and communication are vital to building relationships.I share what it was like when my mom started another relationship after my dad died.Do Grief Differently™️ and YouMap® support grievers in setting themselves up for success in future relationships by preparing their hearts for love again.The question of when it is too soon hinges on various factors, including the individual's grieving process, emotional readiness, and the extent of healing. There's no universally applicable timeline, as everyone's journey through grief is unique. The journey toward a new connection is not just about moving forward; it's about looking inward to address any lingering emotional loose ends from the past. This entails acknowledging and completing the emotional unfinished business, whether they are unexpressed feelings, unresolved conflicts, or unfulfilled needs. Such self-awareness and emotional closure pave the way for a healthier foundation to build a new relationship. By taking the time to heal and learn from past experiences, individuals can ensure that their future relationships are characterized by authenticity, understanding, and the potential for a genuine, lasting connection.Grief recovery emerges as the essential compass guiding individuals through this complex emotional landscape. It's a process of introspection and growth that paves the way for a healthier future.

Due to the global pandemic, the world had to adjust to living in a bubble and withdrawing from in-person social connections. I don't know about you, but the events of those years shifted my perspective on how I spend my time. Most people I've talked with have shared that they've enjoyed exploring their hobbies, spending more time with loved ones, and building new relationships with peers with similar values, challenges, and goals. For some, that means rethinking personal lifestyle goals. Many of us have looked at how the life we're currently living stacks up to our “ideal life.” Noticing the distance between where we want to be and where we are… makes an impact. We start questioning what is accurate, and each person may answer differently. Read the show notes here.

In this week's episode, we dive deep into self-improvement and personal growth. Today's episode is about:Exploring the dynamic between motivation and determination and why determination is often more potent in overcoming challenges (including grief). Discovering the key differences between these concepts and how harnessing determination can lead to more success and empowerment.In this episode, I also share with you how determination played a role in me becoming the person I am today.Motivation and determination play vital roles in the pursuit of success, but determination is often considered more critical in the long run. While motivation can provide the initial drive and enthusiasm to start a journey, it tends to fluctuate over time and may not always be present. In this episode, I explore motivation and determination and the role of each in our lives, even in times of challenge. On the other hand, determination embodies a relentless commitment to achieving goals, even in the face of adversity and challenges. Determination keeps individuals going when the initial excitement fades away, and obstacles threaten to derail their progress. Determination fuels resilience, perseverance, and unwavering focus, pushing people to overcome setbacks and stay on track toward their objectives. While motivation can ignite the spark, determination keeps the fire burning. Combining both elements can be a powerful approach, as motivation can be the catalyst for building determination, creating a resilient mindset that propels individuals toward their dreams and the will to reach the other side of adversity.RESOURCES:Passion Planner - $15 off affiliate linkYouMap®_______NEED HELP?National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255Crisis Text Line provides free, 24/7 support via text message.

In today's episode, I will cover the other two pillars of YouMap®: Skills and Personality. If you listened to last week's episode, I discuss the first two pillars of YouMap®, which are the Strengths and Values. This week, I'm diving deeper into:The difference between Preferred and Least Preferred Skills The 6 Personality Interest Types (as they relate to career/life satisfaction)The 3 Levels of Coaching According to Korn Ferry International, 85 percent of skills can be transferred from one job to another. This means the expertise, knowledge, and abilities gained in a specific role can be applicable and valuable in a different job or industry. However, many individuals might not fully recognize the potential of their transferable skills, often underestimating how their existing competencies can be leveraged in a new position they have not previously experienced. Understanding and acknowledging these transferable skills are crucial in maximizing career opportunities and navigating job transitions successfully. Emphasizing transferable skills can empower job seekers to present themselves as versatile and adaptable candidates to employers, expanding their possibilities in the ever-changing job market.Why does this all matter? Considering we spend the majority of our lives in our careers/work life, isn't it more satisfying when you're doing something you enjoy and maximizing everything about you that is expressed through your YouMap®?

Grief puts this veil over your face. When you're bogged down emotionally, it can feel like a chore to make it through the day, much less connect emotionally with others (or yourself). Once you address the emotional weight, little by little, you see potential where you saw heartbreak. You feel connection where you once felt disconnected. And you recognize the only limits placed on yourself, or others are those imposed by the mind. *This episode is connected to last week's episode, which is titled Ep. 150, What It's Like Working With Me*In today's episode, you will learn:* How YouMap was the missing piece in finding the language for who I am and what I offer, but more importantly, in my work with clients and understanding them better.* How YouMap can help you find your purpose in life.* Grief Recovery and Youmap are a beautiful marriage of transformation.Did you know that only 1 in 33 million people will have the exact same five strengths as you? Yes, that is a fact.In this episode, I discuss what the YouMap® is and how It helps individuals understand their unique strengths, values, interests, and personality traits and guides their career choices and life goals accordingly. By clarifying these aspects, individuals can make more informed decisions and find greater fulfillment in their personal and professional lives - thereby experiencing less (self-inflicted and unnecessary) grief.If you are looking for YouMap® Coach to help you discover your unique gifts and skills and how you can show up to the world, I am here to help and guide you.

In today's episode, you will learn what I bring to the table when choosing to work with me. I use aspects of my YouMap® to illustrate what's in it for you as a client and more. Today, there are far more options for grief support than were available five, ten years ago, and beyond. There are several training programs online that one can take to work with grievers, hang up their virtual shingles, and work with clients in exchange for money. However, not all grief coaches have done their own deep dive into their past losses and trauma, making it challenging to know who to trust, where to look, or where to start. By the end of today's episode, you will learn the specific skill set I bring to my work with clients and why it matters. Being the only certified grief specialist (who continues to apply the tools and framework I share with clients) and YouMap® coach worldwide does have its perks. Want to learn what they are?

What would your ideal day look like if you could create it any way you wanted? What are your deal breakers in relationships and the workplace? Do you know what your unique contribution to the world is?We are going to work on all of these things together in YouMap®Coaching. I realized just as I was working on this episode that this information would be so helpful for high school seniors who are working on their scholarship applications and college essays. If they had a document that had all the information about them, they wouldn't struggle so much to think of how to market themselves the way they need to. If they had a unique contribution statement about what they are offering the school and the world...Game changer! I have added an example of a one-pager I will create with my clients that they can send to employers and committees but it will also put all of their info together in a fun way.Sign up below to get this information right away!

We have all been a part of a drama triangle before and it isn't just in our teen years!

Gina Riley is an authority on career transition at the powerful convergence of career coaching, executive search, and interview skills training. She created the Career Velocity™ system to help leaders and executives effectively manage career transitions. An inspirational writer and speaker, Gina is a certified YouMap® coach and two-time Disrupt HR speaker, sought after for her thought leadership on career transition management, professional networking, branding, and leadership development. Although Gina and I typically work with executives, I asked her to join me on my show to chat about a different demographic after I watched her powerful DisruptHR presentation, Are We Ready for a Latchkey Workforce? Gina and I share a concern for Gen Z on a personal level, as we both have young adults who are now launching their careers in a post-covid world. After listening to this episode, Gina and I hope you will: Consider the impact of remote work on the socialization and communication skills of young professionals and interns. Be open to hybrid work arrangements and consider the benefits of onsite engagement for young professionals—especially the opportunity for socialization and learning from senior leaders. Prioritize mental health and consider how remote work affects the developing brains of young adults. For more information re: this topic, Gina recommends the book The Defining Decade—as well as a series of TED Talks—by Dr. Meg Jay. Encourage communication and connection through face-to-face interactions, rather than relying solely on text and group chats. Be intentional about mentorship, leadership development, and inclusion so Gen Zers can thrive and add value within their organizations. Connect with Gina Riley: You can find Gina on LinkedIn.

Pamela Kellert has a background in strategy and she brought this to the podcast prep with a 2 page document outlining the topics she hoped we could cover. It's a thing of beauty, covering leadership development while working hybrid/remote, culture, opportunities for women and minorities and a detailed chart of how improved leadership is a benefit and opportunity for organizations. Pamela and I met during YouMap coach certification training and I was drawn to her intentional and thoughtful leadership approach. I knew she was based in Germany but the true scope of her global network was not something I understood until this podcast conversation. Like me, she was working in distributed teams well before the pandemic and remembers how much we had to MacGyver to make the technology and the teams work. Pamela Kellert bio and contact info: Pamela Kellert helps female professionals in STEM sectors thrive in leadership roles. She is a seasoned Strategic Leadership Expert with over 16 year's experience working in Strategy, Business Development and Project Delivery, heading diverse teams at leading organisations across Australia, Asia, Europe and North America.
