How much time, energy, and effort do we waste?

Going after the "latest and greatest" or believing that "if we only..." keeps so many of us going around in circles and wasting precious resources.

It's NOT about the strategy or tool we're using.

In fact, have you noticed that most strategies and tools have success stories behind them? So, they DO work for some people!

It's also not about adding more stuff (credentials, titles, trainings, gadgets, trinkets, etc.)

The reason we don't make the kind of progress that we want to make is because we FOCUS ON THE WRONG THING!

It's time to STOP focusing on the things that don't make a real difference, and START FOCUSING ON THE ESSENTIALS!

Let's simplify our lives together as we discuss the essentials for leadership success here on Sincerely Speaking!

Are you avoiding the wrong things?

There are certain things that we are programmed to avoid, like failure and making mistakes, which if we stopped trying to avoid them would become extremely valuable tools for growth and expansion.

Similarly, there are things we avoid in our communication that end up stifling our progress and our ability to grow in our leadership and in our ability to effectively communicate with those closest to us.

As an introvert and a people pleaser, I spent most of my life trying to avoid the 3 Cs that I will share with you in this conversation. However, once I learned to embrace them, I realized they were the key to reaching new levels of leadership, connection, and success.

So, whether you lead a team, a business, a cause, a ministry, a family, or yourself, the ability to see these 3 Cs as tools to advancement can open up a whole new world of possibility!

Join me in this conversation of Sincerely Speaking, and let me know your thoughts!
Which one of these 3 Cs is most challenging for you?

Do you find yourself wondering whether people are truly listening to you and taking you seriously?
Is it difficult for you to stand in front of a room and take charge of that space?
Do you wish you could show up more confidently when speaking out and while presenting?

In this conversation of Sincerely Speaking I'm sharing with you the 3 keys to taking command of any room!

These are the same 3 things I had to work on so that I could authentically, confidently, and effectively step into any room or stage and command the space. Understanding and mastering these things is what allowed me to go from introverted and reserved to being seen and heard.

Are you ready to elevate your visibility, shift your poise, and OWN ANY ROOM? Then, join me on this conversation of Sincerely Speaking.

Money is such a sensitive subject.

It is the source of a lot of stress, worry, and contention. Especially for women.

Working on your mindset is not the answer!

Yeah, you read that right! Working on your mindset is not the answer!

No, I'm not saying that mindset is not important, but the idea of working on your MINDSET can be so overwhelming and confusing that it can actually paralyze you instead of moving you forward.

So, HOW do we get past the mental maze of limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, doubt, lack of worth, and disempowering emotions?

That is precisely what we will cover in this conversation of Sincerely Speaking!
