Graduating and Growth Via Kentner

Have you ever gone through a time in your life where you weren't truly the person you are? You do things that you never used to do, and end up falling short on your goals. Well, I have. In fact, that happened to me my entire fall semester of college this year. So we are talking about why the people you admire in life always look so amazing. They are crushing their goals. They are staying CONSISTENT. So how can you assess your life and see how you can that mindset to be the person you want to be when you grow up.

Have you ever watched people pushing a rock while others sweep brooms across the ice during the Olympics? That's curling! I have close friend and sorority sister Katie Murphy coming on, talking about her experience curling, and what has led to the greatest opportunity of her life. A spot on the USA National Curling Team. 

We talk about high school, life, how she fell in love with the sport, and the determination she had to fight for a spot on the USA National Curling Team. Was it easy? No, but did she get the spot? YES! Hear from her experience and the conversation she had with the coaches to get her the opportunity to play on this team... it might just give you the courage to ask for what YOU want.

Have you ever heard of the 10% target? Do you know how to get everything you want in life? Yeah, well before I knew Jennifer Cohen I had no clue until I stumbled upon her TEDTalk about being bold.

Listen to our conversation about tenacity, grit, and the importance of being bold.

What has been the thing or goal you've always wanted to have? Today we are talking about the things you want in this world and asking ourselves if you REALLY want it or if you just like the idea of it. These are very different. In this podcast we will be having an in-depth discussion on researching, asking others, and asking yourself if you want that dream goal or position. If your skillsets, strengths, and passions match the company you want to work for, internship you want to get, or school you want to to attend. What is YOUR WHY?
