Field Guide To Awesome

Trina Serrecchia

From broke and under-employed to 6-figures+ powered by “day-dreams” and grit, I gave it all up to travel the world solo for 6-months. When I returned home, I balanced the “art of doing nothing” and writing for 8 months. I took one last consulting contract, just to see if I could. I aced it but realized it just wasn’t for me. I knew I was meant to do more, to make a bigger impact. With over 20+ years as a serial entrepreneur, I’ve learned from the masters in B2B copywriting, online marketing, online memberships, and coaching. I’m a transformational coach, speaker, and multi-passionate Renaissance Chick devoted to creating the Field Guide To Awesome. I believe that by creating and harnessing inspiration and pouring it into your business, it creates wealth and a massive positive impact on your life, and the world around you. Field Guide To Awesome is for Heart-centered & Socially-Conscious Entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals, and consultants like you, who want to transform their J.O.B. into inspired work that feeds their souls, fills their pockets, and fully serves their clients. Together, all of us are multipliers of massive positive impact. I talk to experts about their business success stories and pay close attention to their failures. We talk about the mindset tips, tricks, and strategies that help you overcome failure, and create an inspired, profitable, and impact-driven business on your own terms.

Was where we continued the energetic perspective series with the level two perspective, specifically how to recognize when your fiery attitude will burn you and how to shift it into a fiery passion that can sustain you. It was all about how level, two perspective, energy potential shows up in your day to day experience when you're under stress, along with the advantages and disadvantages, every level has them. We explored several strategies you can use to reduce your time being stuck here and access higher levels of energy, just like we're doing with level three. All right. So if you missed it, go ahead and check out episode 88. This week, we are continuing the series and diving into level three, this episode is for you. If you are feeling you should be further along than you are by now. Likely you are deep into strategizing tolerating and dealing with minor frustrations that are holding you back [00:02:00] from making the kind of progress that feels deeply satisfying. And that's why we're talking about the level three perspective. What it looks like, what it feels like in everyday life and in business and the advantages and disadvantages as well as some, as well as some strategies that can help you expand into the higher levels of energy and using level three as a resource state to keep your momentum going. level three energy is the energy of coping. With the core thought of I win you win two and that's okay. But I win first. Let's do a quick review of the levels so far, it helps to put things in perspective. Level one, energy was all about stagnation and being the victim of life. And now when I say victim, it means that life is happening at you. The shift from level one to level two comes from the fiery need for change ignites within. . [00:03:00] So that firey need for change burns and pushes you into the next level. Shifting from level two to level three, which is what we're talking about today happens when you start to take ownership of your own emotions, your own thoughts and your own life experience. Just as a reminder, we as humans go up and down through these levels of energy throughout the day. So no one is always a level one, no one is always a level two, no one is always a level three or any other level. It depends on how we respond to life events and stressors. So how long we spend in each of those levels can change depending on how resilient we are. And so an example of that is say, you wake up feeling great it's gonna be a great day. It's gonna be a great day. Right. But then you spill coffee on your white shirt. Oh, coffee on my white shirt. Oh, this is terrible. It's stained. It's ruined forever. [00:04:00] And what am I gonna wear now? Okay. And so that's just an example of how you can go from feeling great from one of the higher levels of energy to level two or level one. Okay. So how long you spend there, this depends on how resilient you are. We all experience these every day. But with level three, things start to feel much better. Level three begins the anabolic energy in the scale of levels of energy and anabolic energy is the kind of energy that builds you up that helps you grow all right levels. One and two were catabolic where they broke you. Okay. You had energy, you got things done, especially in level two, but it was the kind of energy that wouldn't sllow you last in the long term, because it would burn you out. Okay. Anabolic energy helps you build and grow [00:05:00] and it feels good. Okay. At this level, people tend to take responsibility for their thoughts, emotions, actions. They know that what they think and feel is really up to them. And nobody else you can't make me feel a certain way unless I give you permission. I think that's an Eleanor Roosevelt bastardization quote I ruined her quote, but no one can make me feel any way that I don't desire to feel. Okay. The focus of level three is on winning through achieving your goals. And meeting your own agenda first cause you got business to do and you gotta reach those goals. You win first, but if other people win as a result, that's great. Okay. But it's your goals first? Okay, and this isn't good or bad. It's just [00:06:00] an attitude. It's just where your focus is at that moment. Okay. And so level three energy also has a lot of coping going on. All right. Coping in this context is to deal with an attempt to overcome problems and difficulties, because we see a lot of problems and difficulties, a lot of hurdles to jump in level three energy. Judging is judging things as good or bad black or white. Discernment is the awareness of the situation without a story attached. You'll notice as we move up through the levels of energy that Discernment increases as we go up through the levels of energy and judgment decreases. In level one and two, there was a lot of judgment as good or bad. Coping at this level occurs because the person still has some judging going on. All right. We are judging creatures, but in level three, there's still a little bit of judging going on. There's a problem. [00:07:00] How can I fix it? We're problem focused. Dealing with little hurdles. It's like watching your feet as you walk instead of gazing ahead as you walk and think of that too. If if you are a driver, if you drive, you don't look at, as you're driving the road just a few feet ahead, you look out into the distance. Okay. And so in level three, we're still looking at the mid-distance. We're not looking out far enough. Okay. And the difference between this and winning at level two is that the intention of those operating from level three perspective is to have the other person win as well. But again, only after securing the win for themselves first. In other words, the intention of level three is I win. And hopefully you win too, but either way I win primary goal. And I've said that a couple of times, but that is the primary thought. People who have a lot [00:08:00] of level three energy are masters at rationalization and rationalization. It sounds like a big word. And it sounds like a bad word, but it's not okay. It's just a big word. They will motivate themselves and others by finding ways to. Release, forgive, tolerate, compromise, and explain away resentments, explain away stresses, disappointments, and other burdens in order to encourage cooperation and productivity. There was a lot in there. I'm gonna talk a little bit more about each of those as we go on. All right. That was jam packed. All right. So again, this. Energy, these qualities that I'm bringing up now, you may not experience all of them, but if some of them do make a note, all right, because those are the things that you'll be working on. People with predominant level three energy may still blame others, but [00:09:00] they rationalize other people'

Last episode, we [00:01:00] began the energetic perspective series, starting with level one perspective. I spoke about how to recognize and clear out the subtle forces that are holding you back from the momentum and fulfillment. That was meant for you. It was all about how level one perspective, energy potential shows up. Along with its advantages and disadvantages, every level has them. Then we explored several strategies you can use to reduce your time being stuck here and access higher levels of energy. If you missed it make sure to go back and check it out because this week we are continuing the series and diving into level two welcome everybody. Welcome. Welcome. Today I'm talking about how to recognize when your fiery attitude will burn you and how to shift it into a fiery passion that can sustain. Let's jump in. Welcome to the energetic perspective series. Each [00:02:00] episode in the series will be focused on one aspect of each of the seven levels of perspective and intention. Each of these seven levels determine our experience and the outcomes we get, as we move through the day. Welcome to level two energy, which is all about the fighter and I win. You lose thinking we're gonna be looking at what level two looks and feels like and how it may show up in your life and business experience, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of level two energy and perspective. Again, every level has advantages and disadvantages. The characteristics I'm about to discuss often do not feel good and few, like to see them in themselves. I know I don't. All right. So remember, as we go through what this level, two perspective energy looks like and feels like some of the characteristics may resonate and others may not. So [00:03:00] disregard the characteristics that don't resonate and make note of the ones that do. Okay. Cause remember awareness creates choice. And when we have choices, we can choose to shift our perspective consistently and increase our capacity to access the higher levels of energy. And at the end, I'm going to wrap it up by sharing with you some strategies you can use to shift to a higher level of energy. So prepare yourself for some suck. Alright. But don't worry. There are things that you can do to shift. All right. So for real, for real, oh, let's dive in level one. Energy was all about the stagnation and feeling. The effect of life being the victim of life, things that happen at you. All right. And so there's still a bit of this in level two. The shift from level one to level two comes when the discomfort of staying where you are, is [00:04:00] more painful than making a move to change it. It's kind of like the poker in the butt. All right. It's as if a fire was lit inside you at first, that fire is a thing that grows on its own into a conflagration. When that anger is not directed, it can be destructive. In other words, catabolic. So level two is still considered catabolic. However, when you have access to higher levels of perspective, it can be used as a tool, but its results and effect are very different from what you're going to hear about today. We're gonna talk more about that when we explore the higher levels of more anabolic energy. All right, right now, the characteristics that you're gonna be hearing about is when somebody is really stuck in level two, it's the predominant energy of not only in the workplace, but life in general. Okay. Level two. Energy is characterized by conflict, internal or external. And the core [00:05:00] emotion here is, is anger. All right. There's a lot of anger inside and this energy contains thinking of. Agonism struggle. Resistance, blame, frustration, defiance. All right. So from a level two perspective, everything tends to be viewed as black or white, right. Or wrong, good or bad. All right. These judgments result, and it's not, your judgment is bad. It's judging things as black and white, good or bad. All right. These judgements result in limited options since the full scope of available possibilities is not apparent. You just can't see them with that kind of thinking to the person operating with this level of energy. They often manage and operate by force control or coercion. They may appear to be very confident. All right. Always thinking that their way is the right way they can get caught up in focusing on what's wrong. What's broken and potentially who or what is to blame. And while initial [00:06:00] results may look successful, this way of leading others and organizations will ultimately fail. It's not sustainable. All right. The effort expended to live and act in constant catabolic energy will train them and those around them to. Just fight and struggle. All right. So one of the things that I wanted to mention also is that with this level of energy it, Let's put it this way. There are strong forceful leaders out there who are very successful even while working with this level two energy. They get things done. They can have terrific business success. For a time. This level of energy is not sustainable in the long run. And being seen as a strong leader can seem really admirable. All right. Yet the characteristics of anger, forcefulness, [00:07:00] dictatorial, leadership, it can leak through and damage not only your business, but also your health and your relationships. All right. So this is part of why this is so important. I just wanted to get that in there cuz I know we, we see many leaders out in the world, entrepreneurial business, world leaders who, who lead by this level two energy. And you know, they make money, they have success, but they don't feel that success. Right. They don't feel it. And the people that they lead certainly don't feel that success. Let's dive back in to the pool. With this level two energy people can be angry and they blame themselves and, and others for their lives, the past for any negative thoughts and emotions. So there's a lot of blame that happens in level two. Blame is also apparent in level one, but in level two, I mean, it's, it's an angry blame. All right. They're not taking [00:08:00] ownership of. Feeling their emotions. All right. So people with predominant level two energy are usually not as happy or fulfilled or emotionally satisfied as they could be. All right. Their work and home life is neither as productive, nor as exciting or fulfilling as, as they'd like that doesn't feel good. And they usually don't feel like they're contributing. And they don't feel appreciated. All right. And so kind of think about how that worked. They don't feel like they're contributing and they're not feeling appreciated. And at the same time they may feel taken advantage of. All right. So think of times, when did you feel taken advantage of all right. And so does it mean that they're not being taken advantage of? No. It means that they're feeling that way. All right. Many people at this level refuse to open up fully because they don't trus

Last week I spoke [00:01:00] about the seven different perspectives of lying that we all experience at some point or another. including How we recognize them in ourselves. And the worst type of lie that we need to recognize as soon as possible and stop it before it causes any more damage. So if you missed it, go back and check it out. But don't go yet, folks. This week we are. Diving in to the energetic perspective series. Each episode in the series will be focused on one aspect of the seven levels of perspective. Why is this important? You were about to find out this is going to be awesome. Well, this first level is not so awesome. But we need to recognize. Figure out what it looks like, [00:02:00] and I'm going to also be sharing with you some strategies on how to get past it. All right. My name is Trina and I am a success and self-mastery coach. And today we are going to be talking about level one, victim energy, and the perspective of "I lose". What a fun way to start an episode. Right. No one likes to be a victim, nor do they like to feel or think of themselves as one. I know I don't. I know you don't - being a victim Isn't fun. Right? So who is this for? This is for you because there are times in your life when you will experience some of what I talk about here. All right. [00:03:00] So have you ever been stuck in a pattern where you felt like you had no choice or stuck in a situation where. Well, maybe not you, maybe you don't recognize it as being stuck, but where you're doing mostly well or heck doing fantastic. Right? You still have some work to do. All right. Because serial success makers who are mostly working in their know and flow.  But still know that there's something more for them. All right. They can struggle to integrate this into their lives or those of you who are working towards something that seems to take a step back for every step forward you take. All right. It's like the goalpost is moving and Hey, even if you know exactly what you [00:04:00] need to do, but it's either not catching on or it's exhausting. It's exhausting. You all out of proportion to the perceived tax. All right. You likely have the subtle influences of this energy that prevent you from accessing opportunities that are right in front of you. I swear. These opportunities are right in front of you. You just can't see them yet. Okay. And Hey human. Yeah. You, you have experienced this kind of low energetic state that I'm talking about, even if it's a small. All right. And we're going to talk really briefly, a little later on today about how even like a small bit of this energy can pull you out of alignment and the hide major growth from you. Okay. And so. I'm going to be talking about this victim energy, as well as it's also known as level [00:05:00] one perspective, how it will show up for you, how to recognize it and how to stop being at the effect of it. And break the cycle. So you can clear out the subtle forces that are holding you back from the momentum, the fulfillment, and happiness, that was meant for you. All right. So some things to keep in mind that it's not an all or nothing state, you could be regularly operating a successful business, building strong, compassionate relationships, leading like a boss and still into intuitively innovating solutions. But even a little bit of this energy's perspective can limit the health, happiness, wealth, and fulfillment that is possible for you. And this perspective, isn't always obvious. If you're really stuck in it, it is pretty obvious. But if it's just a little bit in your energy and it's just a little [00:06:00] bit in there, it's easy to miss it and put the onus on something else. So for example, it's easy to look at a person or a situation that's vexing you and putting the onus on them. If only the situation was different or the person was different. Life would be easier, right. This, there wouldn't be a problem. All right. So I'll be sharing some of the things that might be subtle influences that are pulling you out of alignment. And again, what I'm going to share with you in this episode, at least these are things that aren't fun to look at. But I want you to keep in mind that none of them are good or bad. They all have advantages and disadvantages. All right. It's all in the perspective of how you look at them. And I'm [00:07:00] also not talking about blowing sunshine up your butt or guests, you, or gaslighting yourself because there are legitimate benefits to some of these. I mean, we wouldn't do anything if it didn't benefit us in some way, even if it's not in the. That we desire to go. All right. It's serving us in some way also. Remember, it's not what you say or do, but it's your intention behind what you say or do that matters. Okay. Okay. So before we jump into the icy dark depths of level, one perspective, let's talk a little bit about what energy leadership. Okay. Energy leadership was developed by Bruce D. Schneider. He's a renowned coach and founder of my Alma mater IPEC Institute for professional excellence in coaching and Luke Iorio who's the president [00:08:00] of iPEC described energy leadership like this. All right. As individuals, we view the world through filters based on our experiences, our values, our assumptions, and our perspectives. And those filters will either limit what we see, like tunnel vision or expand what we see, oh, like a prison. And all of that together will impact how we perceive and what we think about our circumstances. Whatever those circumstances are. And this in turn impacts how we show up in different situations. Okay. So the energy leadership index assessment, there's also an assessment by the way. So as I go through this, you can recognize, or not things that you experienced in your life and in your business. But there is an actual assessment that you can go through and be debriefed by a master practitioner. like moi. All right. That will [00:09:00] help reveal what specific filters you've developed and how those filters are influencing the results that you're achieving. Okay. But you don't need the assessment to go through and do a self-assessment. All right. So that's what I'm giving you here. This is a process, that helps you develop a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes. Not only yourself. But also those with whom you work, , you live with, people around you. Okay. And also your company, your business as a whole. And this is a research-backed system and it's utilized by companies like Boeing, Ikea, the us coast guard, as well as thousands of individuals and everyday leaders from all walks of life. Okay, so this kind of energy leadership puts you in touch with the missing link between your ambitions and your abilit

Only to realize that there's so much. That it all wants to come out all at the same time. Recently I was asked about a personal and or professional story that helped me stand where I am today. So that's what I did. Last week. I shared the story of how I learned to become truly fully alive. Eyes wide nostrils, flaring, fully awake, expansive. And filled with a deep mental, physical, and emotional peace. that Informed my emotional and entrepreneurial journey. I was so thrilled to share it with you. So if you missed it, go back and check it out. But don't go yet, folks. [00:01:43] Episode Start[00:01:43] Trina: Today, I am going to be talking about the seven different perspectives of lying that we all experience at some point or another. I'm going to talk about how we recognize them in ourselves. And the worst [00:02:00] type of lie that we need to recognize as soon as possible and stop it before it causes any more damage. My name is Trina and I am a transformational self-mastery coach and I help visionary entrepreneurs stop the overwork overwhelm over delivery exhaustion cycle. So that success. Can actually feel like success. And today I am talking about lies. We hate them. Sometimes we love them and we get lied to all the time and we all tell them. So there are seven levels of perspective on lying. The first level lies tend to feel expected. Like you expect to feel lied to there's a sense of [00:03:00] powerless and defeat. Like of course. They lied to me all. I hear a lies, right? When you perceive somebody telling you lies, it feels like everybody lies to me. The truth is hidden to me.. And when you, now, when I say the word you, I mean, you, me, everyone, when we're at this perspective, at this level of perspective, this is what tends to be there. All right. So when we tell lies, we tell lies from the space of, I don't know, Or I'm afraid for others to find out. And there's a lot of guilt and shame there. All right. Not me. Who did this? Not me, not me. All right. So it's a source of conflict and self-defense and cowering. All right. We've all had this. And so that's when we're at the effect of it. [00:04:00] And we'll talk a little bit more later if we have time about how we can use this level as a power. All right. Instead of just a perspective. All right. So the second level lies, elicit. anger, outrage. It's a source of conflict. So we're level one. We were avoiding conflict with level two. It's a place of conflict we're settling in. It's "I win, or no one wins.". I win. Forget about all y'all all right. So the perspective at level two, when they perceive someone is lying, whether it's true or not, it feels as if they just don't want me to know how to get ahead, they can do it. They just don't want. So that's if the person at level two is working with a team, you know, when they say, oh, I [00:05:00] can't do it. Yeah. They can do it. They just don't want to. All right. How dare they lie to me? So oftentimes the response when told lies is outrage and. Force conflict and the person tends to feel threatened. All right. There's a sense of deep betrayal. I'm not mocking anything because this is what a person who is reacting from this perspective is feeling. And I CA I can hear someone out there. I'm not saying that you, I'm not saying that's me saying, not me. I'm never that way. We all have an aspect of this in ourselves someplace, even if it's very tiny. All right. So when they tell lies, there's a sense of subterfuge to get ahead. Like I'm not going to tell them this so that I can get ahead. All right. [00:06:00] So the idea at level two is. You don't, I'm going to win heck with y'all. And oh, level three, things are getting a little bit better. All right. But there's still a perspective of lying at level three, the lies at level three, this is a space of tolerating making do, making some progress, things are doing okay. But there's a lot of tolerating, less than ideal. And a lot of managing people and manipulating people. All right. And so at level three, lies tend to be used to manage a person or a situation. There there's no, or very little, if any Malignancy in there, there, it's just, they're lying just to manage, to get things, to go their way. All right. And so our response when a person at this level is feeling that they're being lied to is a deep sense of disappointment and a loss of [00:07:00] trust. All right. When a person at this level is in this perspective, experiencing telling a lie it's as if they don't need to know they as the other person outside of the person at this level, don't need to know, but I got to tell him something, right. They don't need to know the truth, but I need to tell them something just to get them to participate or to leave me alone. Often little white lies. And honestly, I think the little white lies that's prevalent almost every day. There was some research out there that spoke to the fact that in any conversation, a person tells two or three lies, little tiny, tiny lies, even. All right. Lies of omission tend to be a little more prevalent here. What people don't know won't hurt them. [00:08:00] Right. And more silence instead of having to tell a lie silent. Starts here and just to hold the peace and the silence isn't to make anybody else feel better or to hurt anybody or to suffer, but it just holds the peace. At the level four perspective of lies, there's a deep desire to shield someone from pain, from sadness, from shame, from disappointment. All right. So if somebody is telling a person a lie, who's at level four and the person at level four, at that perspective perceived it as a lie. There's a sense of concern. All right. There's a sense of concern. What if the person who is lying to me? What if they're lie causes them more pain or sickness or hardship. All right. There's concern for the other person who may be [00:09:00] telling the lie than the person who is perceiving the lie. It's worry about the other person or about other people. There's upset and worry about how the lie would affect another person or group. All right. If you notice at the perspective of level four, there's no personal concern about how it might affect them. It's more about how it might affect the other person or persons that the lies being told about that the, the people that they're serving. When someone level four perpetuates a lie or tells a lie, it is to preserve and out of care and concern for the person that they're telling the lie to. All right, because the truth may be hurtful or the truth wouldn't make things better for them in the long run. They're truly better off not knowing an example of this might be if [00:10:00] someone is on a deathbed, And they say, did you do something or I need this done. And the person at level four says, yes, it's done. It's taken care of you don't need to worry anymore. Okay. Or if there is something that the person asks or is worried about. And the person at level four will say something. It could be a lie, but it's the person who is receiving the lie. They could do nothing about the situation anyway. And so it's to relieve hurt it's to relieve worry it's to provide a sense of peace. All right. And so if you notice the amounts and

In my last episode, I spoke about emotional intelligence specifically on how to increase your EQ starting with a super simple 30-Second practice. Highly successful entrepreneurial leaders tend to also have a higher than average EQ. So it's easy as busy visionary entrepreneurial leaders with many demands on your attention to get caught up in the busy-ness of business and to take your emotional intelligence for granted. The problem happens when you are dealing with subtle stressors, like chronic tolerations and small frustrations. Or getting irritated at minor mistakes, whether made by you or someone on your team, a client or a vendor. Or Either dreading conversations or experiencing miscommunications or getting frustrated with team members for not delivering to your expectation. Or even noticing yourself [00:02:00] getting irritated at things you aren't usually irritated by. Then getting irritated at yourself for getting irritated in the first place. Or even noticing tiny mistakes or issues that slow your businesses. Momentum and give you that sinking exhaustion that has you girding your loins, ready to wade into fixing the things that should have been done right the first time. It's easy and common to have the thought of, well, that's the price of doing business. It doesn't have to feel that way though. Yes, mistakes and errors will happen. And business will feel like work. And does require us to put in the effort. And we can't control anything outside of our own selves. But you don't have to feel like you're tolerating less than ideal and suffering through the process. There is a way to shift your own mental, emotional, and physical experience that can improve your results in your [00:03:00] business, get you better results from your team and give you a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneurial leader. I'm Sharing a simple 30-Second method. To increase your EQ to shift your mind, body and emotions so that you can start catching your mental, emotional, physical stress reaction either before it starts or before you get too deep into it. If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out. but don't go yet, folks. This week, I'm sharing a little story about how travel has transformed my entrepreneurial journey. As well as informed my resilience and self mastery coaching practice. I can't wait to share this with you. So stay tuned. It's coming up. [00:03:42] Trina: Hey, Hey everybody. I'm going to share a personal story with you. Have you ever gotten asked a question and then think at first you got nothing only to realize that there's so much [00:04:00] that it all wants to come out all at the same time. Recently, I was asked about a personal and or professional story that helped me stand where I am today at first. Yeah. Hi, drew a blank. There are so many moments. I remember that have formed me into who I am and inform me and drive my purpose. And I am overflowing with stories. So it's hard for me to pick out one single story, but one of the overarching stories of my life is my love of travel. Travel is for me, not just going on vacation, it's not a vacation. It's not getting away from it all. It's not escaping from my day to day reality. To me travel is learning to be wherever I am. [00:05:00] It's immersing myself in being fully awake, aware, alive. It's learning that I'm safe wherever I am upon a re-entry quote, unquote, returning home to my normal life. I bring more and more of that into my daily experience. I become more aware of my conditioned responses. Awareness increases the opportunity to choose how I want to show up differently when we're home. It's so easy to get lost in our default mode. Default mode is that state of being that is deep into autopilot and autopilot is grrreat for flying. It's not so great for living a fulfilled and purposeful life. There was a day back in 1994, many moons ago. When I realized I'd been lost in my own personal autopilot, it felt like I was merely [00:06:00] surviving, traveling through a dark, foggy tunnel. When I looked backwards and looked forwards again, everything looked the same. Gray washed out. No inspiration. I realized I didn't feel alive. It was at that moment, I knew something had to change and it had to be big. It had to be drastic. I hadn't heard the acronym BHAG yet, even though it was coined a couple of years earlier, but I had just had a glimpse of my first big, hairy, audacious goal. I decided to backpack around great Britain for a couple of months. And this was way before I had access to the internet, mobile phones, digital cameras. All I had was a travel book called let's go great Britain, fabulous book, fabulous travel series. I planned for six months and I saved up enough to cover my [00:07:00] rent and car payments while I was gone. And after buying my round trip ticket and my, Euro rail pass, I had $33 a day. I could spend on food, lodging and transportation. And at the time in pounds, it was 22 pounds a day. Not a lot of money. All while I planned and prepared, I told my family work mates and friends about what I was going to do. No one, one person, only one friend believed me. No one else did family would laugh at me and tell me I wasn't going to go. That it was ridiculous. I remember looking at them with my head cocked to the side. Like a confused puppy and saying, don't you see every thing that I'm doing to get ready, look at all the things that I'm doing to prepare. They continued to not believe [00:08:00] me up until the day I had to catch my flight from Boston to Heathrow. And I insisted that I needed a ride to the airport. My grandmother dropped me off at the bus station with a worried look and told me to give her a call. If she needed to pick me up right back up, it was two months before I returned home and we saw each other again. It took a while years maybe before I understood what I was doing was so far beyond what those around me could imagine as possible that they couldn't see what was happening right in front of them. And this was my first long-term solo travel experience. And I was hooked!. Again, and again, over the decades, I'd pack a bag, a small bag and travel for a month, two months or six months solo with a vague plan, my heart full of adventure, curiosity and [00:09:00] thrilled by the unknown. The more I flung myself into the unknown, the safer I'd feel I was building evidence that no matter what situation I was in, I'd be fine. Whether it was exploring back alleys in Bangkok foraging for food and Hong Kong learning to live in Paris, Florence, Thailand, or Bali couch surfing in Singapore and Paris. I wouldn't even give up the hardships. I've had at least one cold or illness in each country. I've visited. I've defended myself from a pack of feral dogs and Costa Rica. I had to brace worthy sprained ankles in Paris. I broke a tooth in Bali. Gosh, I thought that was a trip-ender. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. Only two instances of food poisoning. One of them was by eating the best Italian pizza from a Mexican restaurant in all of Southeast Asia, according to the sign [00:10:00] and thanks to the special ingredient food poisoning. I can now find a restroom wherever I go in the world. I realized that I could choose my "hard". There will always be difficulties and hardships. Whether you stay in your comfort zone or you plot a path into the uncharted, choosing non-tra

She has worked with new startups, fortune five hundreds and Inc 500 companies in healthcare, real estate. Education sports, finance, oil and gas, retail ministry hospitality. Entertainment.

There is a way to shift your own mental, emotional, and physical experience that can improve your results in your business, get you better results from your team and give you a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneurial leader. I'm Sharing a simple 30-Second method. To increase your EEQ to shift your mind, body and emotions so that you can start catching your mental, emotional, physical stress reaction either before it starts or before you get too deep into it. I originally recorded it live and wasn't using my sweet, sweet [00:05:00] microphone. So the audio is a little rough, but the lesson is clear. And I hope you enjoy it. Let's jump in [00:05:09] 30-Second Self Check-in Method[00:05:09] Trina: Hey folks. Hey, how's everybody doing today? I'm sharing with you the 30-Second Self Check-in Method to increase emotional intelligence for visionary entrepreneurs. Okay. So why "EQ", why emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence helps you transform how you react in stressful situations. It also changes how you operate in your business and daily life. . So what if you could reduce the amount of irritations and things that you tolerate? And improve the results that you get from your team. . Also how awesome would that be? . So the side effects include like better relationships in every aspect of your [00:06:00] life, as well as increasing your sense of fulfillment, you know? And so that success actually feels like success, right? So do me a favor, if any of this resonates share how this is landing for you. . Because I love getting that feedback and I love talking to you guys about this stuff. . So today, I, I was going through my daily practice well going through my day and just doing the things that I've always done and the things that I actually teach my clients to do, I walk my talk and I realized that I hadn't really spoken to you about it succinctly. And so this episode is going to be relatively. So just as a reminder of this is Trina . I'm a transformational resilience coach and I help success, stalking visionary entrepreneurial leaders, [00:07:00] like you to regulate your nervous systems so that you can quiet your inner critic, prime yourself for flow. And I'm talking neurological flow here, right? So that you can stop the overwork over-delivery overwhelm exhaustion cycle so that success can actually feel like success. And I'm also the host of the field guide to awesome podcast. And I interview multi-six and seven-figure entrepreneurs, and we dive into where they started the struggles they had along the way, and the unique way they think differently that's led to their current level of success. And so again, today I'm talking about the 30-Second Self Check-in Method, that helps you increase your emotional intelligence. So let's jump in. So high EQ helps you transform how you react in stressful situations, and it also changes how you operate in your business in your daily [00:08:00] life. And so these are big claims, right? They are. The big claims, but it's a simple process, this 30-Second Self Check-in Method, and it only takes 30 seconds to do, but it's going to take just a few minutes to tell you about what it is, how to do it and why this is all important.

In my last episode. [00:01:00] I spoke with Leslie Rochelle. Leslie is a soul led leadership coach who supports new and emerging leaders to bridge the inner and outer connection with self. Cultivating the skills and confidence that support their foundational leadership platform. So they can powerfully claim their leader within. She's a wife, mama coach mentor, international bestselling author. And the founder of Leslie Rochelle coaching and consulting. Companies love to promote new executive leaders up from their ranks. It reduces cost time to productivity and increases employee retention and team morale. However research has shown that 40% of new executives fail within 18 months, whether it's the cultural fit, inability to build teamwork or they're unsure of their role as a new leader. So that's why I spoke with Leslie Rochelle about her leadership journey, as well as widely held [00:02:00] misconceptions and small shifts that can transform your leadership capacity. Both of your sense of fulfillment and impact will skyrocket when you make these shifts.. If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out. but don't go yet, folks. We're continuing our conversation. With. Koni Scavella. Koni is a speaker, author and business and strategic advisor. For CEOs and entrepreneurs seeking a quantum leap in their lives and business simultaneously. An entrepreneur for 17 years with degrees in theology and physics. She has worked with new startups, fortune five hundreds and Inc 500 companies in healthcare, real estate. Education sports, finance, oil and gas, retail ministry hospitality. Entertainment. And Connie, and I will be talking about becoming the difference maker reverse engineering, her success and niching [00:03:00] profitably. It can be so easy to take success for granted. - That is until your process stops working. That's why we're talking today with Koni Scavella about how she got her aha from experiencing failure after a string of successes. Big setbacks, including financial decisions gone wrong. Ken brake entrepreneurs. But it doesn't have to be that way. Highly successful. Visionary entrepreneurs tend to exhibit not only more resiliency then their less successful counterparts. But also life outlook and professional habits that continually expand their capacity for resilience. That's why Connie and I are continuing our conversation. This time, we're talking about a 100 K loss dealing with betrayal and her turning point that took her from being burned by the industry to resiliently committing to figuring it out. [00:03:59] Trina: Join me in [00:04:00] welcoming Koni. Scavella. . [00:04:03] Interview[00:04:03] Trina: So often we, we love talking about the successes [00:04:07] Koni: Yeah. Hmm. [00:04:10] Trina: they're fun and we love them, but we also need to take a look at the failures of when they happened and how they happened and what was going on doing that. The lessons learned because I feel like when we do that as well, there are people who are in it right now. [00:04:36] Koni: MmmmHmm [00:04:37] Trina: They're in those those points of failure right now. And when they hear and see how someone else overcame it and what became possible for them after it's like a Ray of hope and the stories become real and the possibilities become more real. And so are you comfortable [00:05:00] talking about some of the failures that you experienced in the past that you've overcome [00:05:04] Koni: Absolutely. [00:05:05] Trina: and what those were were like for you? [00:05:08] Koni: Yeah, I'll give you two. Okay. And these were pivotal ones. They were huge for me. And I think a lot of people could probably relate to both of them. One is financial. One is emotional. All right. If we have enough time to do [00:05:24] Trina: We have time. [00:05:25] Koni: Okay. All right. And let me start with the financial one. And so for me, I was here's something, a lot of people don't know is that over my career, like a lot of people, I I'm psychologically unemployable. I am a great employee. Right. All the way to the C-suite. I can do it all. I don't like it. I mean, there were so many times driving to my job, even though I know. Multiple six figures in jobs that I [00:06:00] sometimes I'd literally stop, pull over, throw up cry, wipe my mouth and go straight on. Right. Because I hated it so much. And but I just kept going and I thought, well, that's all I can do. Then I finally remembered who I was again. I thought I'm going to go do my thing. I gave myself a an F-you date, the date that I'm going to go to the company and say, oh bye. Right. And I had it planned out.. I had the day I had how I was going to do it. I was going to come in late at night and had a prominent office. And I was going to come in late at night, clean everything out, and then they'd all walk in and oh, where is she? And I was so excited. I knew the date and then I decided do it early, right? The date was July [00:07:00] 4th. That was my independence day. And I thought, no, I can't take it anymore. And so I left in April, I got, I'm doing it, going back out on my own. I had, I had consulted with corporates, but what I really wanted to do is not have those chains in those boxes. I had to fit in as a corporate consultant. I wanted to work with entrepreneurs. I love that. Like, somebody has a dream. It's lik

Cultivating the skills and confidence that support their foundational leadership platform. So they can powerfully claim their leader within. She's a wife, mama coach mentor. International bestselling author. And the founder of Leslie Rochelle coaching and [00:02:00] consulting. One of the reasons that I'm bringing Leslie on to talk about this is that companies love to promote new executive leaders up from their ranks. It reduces cost time to productivity and increases employee retention and team morale. However research has shown that 40% of new executives fail within 18 months, whether it's the cultural fit, inability to build teamwork or they're unsure of their role as a new leader. So that's why I'm talking with Leslie Rochelle about her leadership journey, as well as widely held misconceptions and small shifts that can transform your leadership capacity. Both of your sense of fulfillment and impact will skyrocket when you make these shifts. Join me in welcoming. Leslie rochelle [00:02:51] Interview start[00:02:51] Trina: Hi, Leslie. Thank so much for joining me today. It's an absolute pleasure to have you on my show, [00:02:57] Leslie: Trina. I am so excited to be [00:03:00] here. I always loved the conversations that we get to have. [00:03:04] Trina: Well, we had wonderful conversations back in the summer of 2021 when we did the coaching business summit. And I absolutely loved what you shared there and I can't wait to continue our conversation. [00:03:20] Leslie: This is going to be so much fun. [00:03:22] Trina: It is. Yeah. So Leslie, for those of my audience who don't know you very well yet, can you share just really quickly where you started from and how you got to where you are now? [00:03:36] Leslie: Perfect. Thank you very much, Trina. I really, again, I really appreciate the great conversation that we're going to have today. I know, I know that it's going to be great. [00:03:45] Where Leslie Started[00:03:45] Leslie: Really where I started from is being, given an opportunity that I. I said yes to not really knowing what I was getting myself into and, Allowing myself to [00:04:00] really get consumed by the position that I was in. And that really led to my own coaching experience with in my own mentoring experience. And that is having someone support me through, through those roles. And, you know, be being in that first time leadership like a greater leadership role versus some of these. Smaller ones that I've had really, really pushed me into a lot of discomforts. And it's one thing that I really needed to really get a hold of. Cause it almost broke me to where I was, had a really, really difficult time. But what that led to was really the passion for me. And my coaching is to reach back to that earlier version of myself, just to be able to give somebody a hand. So that's why I helped support new and emerging leaders with, solidifying their leadership foundation. So it's really. Mix of that life coaching, that leadership coaching all rolled into one that I can, [00:05:00] that I can really help that, that new and emerging leader that up and coming set up coming leader. [00:05:05] Trina: I love that. It's so important. We all want to be leaders, you know, we all envision what it's like to be a leader and we all are leaders in some way or another in our lives. But when it comes to stepping into big leadership, whether that's leadership of your own company as an entrepreneur or leadership in another business, you know how to do your job, and that's why you got elevated, but do you know how to lead. That's you know, and you may know how to lead, but if you have doubts about it, If you have your own stresses and anxieties, you're paying more attention to that than you are to the people that you are there to support and lead. [00:05:56] Leslie: That's [00:05:56] Trina: true is that? [00:05:57] Leslie: Yeah. That is incredibly true. Some [00:06:00] misconceptions with regards to leadership as well. Some people want that leadership role because they just assume, oh, I have a little bit more power. This is a really the next step along the path for me. And they don't really consider that you're no longer in that. Subject matter expertise, role, you are now leading people, which is completely different. So I think that's sometimes where people really get stuck is that, understanding what leading people really does look like. You have to let your, your old role goal, so you can assume the new position that you're in and it's, it can be difficult to do that. [00:06:39] Trina: It can be, I think it's stepping into your new zone of genius so that. The people on your team can work in their zone of genius. And when you're new in the role, you're still developing your zone of genius when it comes to leadership. How hard is it for new leaders to [00:07:00] ask for support? I think I know the answer to this one, but [00:07:06] Leslie: Yeah, it can be incredibly difficult because one, one somebody giving you that given you that responsibility, and you've said, I'm so excited to be here and you may think you need to know about. all. And so you're afraid to ask for help, right? You're afraid to say I am struggling and I am stuck. How do I get unstuck? And that takes some vulnerabi

About

From broke and under-employed to 6-figures+ powered by “day-dreams” and grit, I gave it all up to travel the world solo for 6-months. When I returned home, I balanced the “art of doing nothing” and writing for 8 months. I took one last consulting contract, just to see if I could. I aced it but realized it just wasn’t for me. I knew I was meant to do more, to make a bigger impact. With over 20+ years as a serial entrepreneur, I’ve learned from the masters in B2B copywriting, online marketing, online memberships, and coaching. I’m a transformational coach, speaker, and multi-passionate Renaissance Chick devoted to creating the Field Guide To Awesome.
