Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast Tara Gronhovd and Pamela Nelson

Growing fast can feel a lot like drowning in business.  Suddenly our systems, processes and leadership aren’t keeping pace with the growth we’re experiencing and then what do we do? When leadership is so busy in with the day to day, they may need to bring in a fractional or outsourced COO to help them get systems and structure in place to support the growth—they bring in someone like our dear friend and colleague Manar! Listen today as we learn from Katie about how business can shift out of that overwhelming feeling of drowning into a state of stability and thriving.

Katie Manar is the owner of Solutions Consulting of St. Cloud. She works with small- to medium-sized business owners and leaders faced with the complexities that come with growth.. If you are in a spot where you are feeling overwhelmed as a leader, listen in today to learn more about finding solutions to your unique challenges. 

At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.

CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.

Are you ready to fly? In today’s episode, we are thrilled to share our experience of going on a hot air balloon ride and how it helped us gain some insights into conquering those fears that hold you back. (You’re going to need to listen to discover who is deathly afraid of heights and still rode in the balloon.)

Facing a fear can give you a whole new perspective on your environment and open up new possibilities that you may have never considered. Sometimes it’s about showing up in a space and letting things happen with a trusted friend or colleague. 

We hope that by sharing our adventure, we will encourage you to name a fear you have with one of your trusted people and then take some steps to conquer that fear. And once you do that, let us know. We’d love to celebrate with you! Celebrating is so important when you stop holding yourself back from something you thought you could never do.

What does it mean to coach and lead with an abundance mindset instead of a scarcity mindset? When you hear the word abundance, do you think about only what you have, or do you think about what the community shares?

In today’s podcast, Katie Christensen is back with her refreshing view about living with an abundance mindset. Her credentials are impressive, to say the least: Katie is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, an e2grow-Certified High-Performing Team Coach, and the CEO and Founder of Beekuba. And while she has many talents, today we’re joining her in a conversation about how she uses her abundance mindset to guide her steps not only as a leader and coach, but as a wife, mother, and incredible human. 

Katie operates out of a mindset of abundance instead of scarcity by working in collaboration with those around her. She celebrates the Strengths that she’s great at, while also celebrating the different Strengths of others, using everyone’s different Strengths to bring teams together as communities built on collaboration and trust. 

Listen today to discover some techniques to help you live in a mindset of abundance instead of a mindset of scarcity, not only at work but in your personal life as well.

We’re back in our Strength Series as we wrap it up today. Are you ready to go deep with us as we discuss how Negative Core Beliefs hold us back from thriving in our Strengths?  

Core Beliefs can often feel like gospel truth to us and affect how we react and respond to things around us. Negative Core Beliefs tend to stay with us no matter where we are and what we’re trying to navigate. 

Understanding our Core Beliefs can be powerful from a Strengths perspective. Listen today to learn how you positively navigate through those Negative Core Beliefs as you grow as an Emotionally Mature Leader. 

At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.
