Have you ever had a moment that completely shook your confidence? One of those times when it felt like your world was flipped upside down, leaving you doubting your skills, questioning your voice, or decision-making capabilities?



In this episode, I share a night that tested everything I knew about confidence. Imagine being pulled over, surrounded by police, searching your car for drugs and guns on a dark highway. Add to that the pressure of leading a workshop on confident communication in just a few hours. Spoiler alert: they found nothing. But the real story? It’s about what I found within myself.

In a world obsessed with likes, viral moments, and the endless chase for followers and trappings of success, how often do you hit the pause button and dive deep into your true purpose in life and the impact you'll have on the world when your time is up?   
Today's episode comes from reflection and raw emotion spurred by losing a guiding light in my life, my former manager and mentor, Jen McNeil. Jen wasn't just a mentor; she was a beacon of wisdom, teaching me invaluable lessons about recognizing my value, leading with grace and assertiveness, and the art of forging genuine trust with your teams at work.  
As I navigated this loss, a bigger question emerged: Are you creating a legacy that will outlive you?
 
Here's a heads-up: The answer is far simpler yet more profound than anticipated.
 
Listen in as I explore what it means to truly touch lives and sculpt a legacy transcending the digital facade. Let's explore how we can shift from being obsessed with chasing the next best thing and more to creating meaningful conversations and moments that speak to leaving a lasting legacy.

I recently went whale watching. And let me tell you, it was eye-opening.  Not just because of the majestic whales but because it hit me – this whole adventure is a perfect metaphor for life, especially our work lives. I realized four crucial things – patience, curiosity, presence, and the art of repositioning are your keys to transforming every obstacle into a golden opportunity.
 
In today’s episode, I explain how these four factors can help you embrace challenging situations.
Key Takeaways:
Patience in the Process: Discover the value of staying ready and vigilant, even when the big wins seem out of sight. How can you cultivate patience that prepares you for the moments that matter?
Curiosity as a Compass: Explore how asking the right questions and stepping beyond your comfort zone can unveil new horizons. What blind spots could you uncover with a shift in perspective?
Presence and Repositioning: Are you truly present, or are you missing out on whale-sized opportunities? Learn about the crucial moments that demand your full attention and the art of strategic repositioning in response to evolving situations. It's all about adapting and adjusting your strategy based on new insights and feedback. It's uncomfortable but oh-so-necessary for growth.
