REGARDLESS‪™‬ Sonoro | Skylar Sorkin

POV: The waiter makes his way to you and asks, “And for you?” You have to act fast. Do you convince your best friend to go half-and-half with her entree? Do you ask the waiter which is his favorite dish? Do you say one thing, and then change your mind? Or, do you actually know what you want? 

Confidence (or lack thereof) can manifest in many ways– even in something as simple as ordering food at a restaurant. There’s actually a pretty clear connection between decisiveness, ego, and confidence. 

Today we’re diving into all things confidence with David Suson. As an author and keynote speaker in leadership, he specializes in helping you expose and address blind spots that are keeping you from achieving your sales, performance, and leadership goals. Tune in as he teach us the key to unlocking personal power and confidence in all areas of our lives:

⚡️What is confidence, really?
⚡The correlation between confidence, leadership, and decisiveness
⚡️Identifying your developmental “marker moments”
⚡️How your ego can prevent decisiveness 
⚡️Harnessing confidence in dating, interviews, and all life settings
⚡️The power of daily affirmation practice

CHAPTER 33
Many of us are taught that there’s only one way to succeed in corporate America: climb the ladder to the top, step by step. However, what if we told you that moving companies, trying a variety of lateral roles, and taking risks might actually help you reach the top more quickly? 
Today we’re chatting with Ravi Hampole, the SVP of Global Brand Creative at Lululemon Athletica. Reflecting on his 20+ years of experience in the brand and design industry, Ravi values curiosity in the workplace and advocates for trying new things throughout your career before settling down with one company. Tune into our conversation as we chat about how lateral movement at the start of your career can actually propel you to move upward faster, among other tips like:
⚡️How to react to negative feedback in the workplace
⚡️Why you should be bold and step out of your comfort zone
⚡️Discerning when it’s time for a career shift 
⚡️The power of networking (how Ravi literally got his job at Lululemon)
⚡️Why change is actually good for you

CHAPTER 32 

So you finally got the courage to go to a “networking event”-- first you listen to a panel, then have some light bites during a happy hour while schmoozing, etc. While there, you even mustered up enough courage to go up to someone who was on the panel.

We’ve got you. In this episode, we’ll be chatting with Dawn Andrews, a NeuroLeadership Institute certified results coach and expert on networking. With her 18 years of experience at Fortune 500 companies and 7 years of experience as an attorney, she has incredible tips on how to break down professional boundaries by leveraging and expanding your entrepreneurial network.

CHAPTER 31

Do you consider yourself a “wellness girly”? Do you go for a neighborhood walk every morning, drink an oat milk matcha latte, and attempt to recreate the latest Erewhon celebrity collab smoothie at home? Or, do you go into the office every day (no time for walk, matcha, or Erewhon smoothie most days) to work a 9-5? 

News flash: you don’t have to be either a “wellness girly” OR a “corporate girly.” You can actually be whatever girly you want to be. You can go for a morning walk on only Sundays, drink matcha some days and coffee other days, and also work a corporate job–or anything in between. 

Today on Regardless, we’re chatting with educator and herbalist Phoebe McPherson. As the co-founder of the functional mushroom company Fungtion (@letsfungtion), she offers natural solutions through mushroom elixirs to empower people to live their best lives. However, she started out as a “corporate girly” at the beginning of her career, too. Tune in as Phoebe reminds us that we don’t have to fit into the boxes society prescribes during our 20’s, and your worth isn't defined by how others label you.

⚡️How to break free from labels and external identifiers 

⚡️Redefining your career path as ever-changing

⚡️Tips on balancing work and play in your 20s 

⚡️How to find true wellness and routines that work for you 

⚡️The importance of softness and existing just as you are 

⚡️Why we should tap into the healing power of nature
