    420: Gratitude & Choice: Navigating Despair with Empowering Decisions Meg Rentschler, MSW, PCC

    In the face of life’s many ups and downs, how can we leverage gratitude, intention, and choice to face challenges and set our path forward? The reality is that despair and overwhelm can happen because so much of life is completely out of our control. How can we respond with empowering decisions instead of getting caught in the swirl of overwhelm and despair? The answer lies in adopting a mindset shift to embrace an attitude of gratitude, and this is a timely discussion for this week as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US. Join me for a closer look at today’s topic! Show Highlights: A shift in life can shake us to the coreLearning to hold the power of choice and agency when challenges occurThe high costs to us (and others around us) when we allow despair and hopelessness to take rootReclaiming our power through choice and gratitudeMake a perspective shift by embracing gratitudeChoose to be informed in decision-makingNurture relationships and meaningful connections in your lifeEmbrace possibilities and challenge the normsEstablish appropriate boundaries and be assertive about them Resources: Mentioned in this episode: The Leadership Challenge by James M.

    418: You Just Can’t Do It All with Monique Helstrom

    My guest is someone I’m happy for all our listeners to meet. Her amazing background and experience have uniquely positioned her to understand the role of an executive assistant. She’s here to share what she’s learned and what you should consider in bringing someone into your business to help you succeed. It’s ridiculous to think you can do IT ALL in your business! It’s okay to bring in someone to do their expert work to help propel you to further success. Today’s episode gives you tips and insights to take that next step.  Monique Helstrom worked as the “How” to Simon Sinek’s “Why” for almost a decade as she filled the role of executive assistant, producer, and “Chief of Simon” for the NY Times best-selling author and TED celebrity. She produced everything he did to inspire and scale his movement, including launching three best-selling books, developing his world-famous speaking career, and coordinating his media appearances. During this whirlwind, she had the opportunity to meet many thousands of people facing quite similar issues who asked themselves, “What do I bring to the table, and how can I use those skills to amplify a partnership, team, or organization?” As an expert in the relationship between an executive and their assistant, Monique bridges the skill and personality gap with personalized coaching, specialized recruiting, practical strategies, and actionable insights tailored to both sides of the partnership. Her experience gave rise to a practical and honest approach to individual excellence, team collaboration, and how communication is at the center of it all.  Show Highlights: The “should-ing” we do to ourselves–and how it trips us upUsing self-awareness to identify what we are good at helps us know where we need help.Knowing yourself helps you know who else you need around you.Learn to communicate your needs in specific ways. (People can’t read your mind!)Effective communication requires talking with each other (not texting and emailing!) so that tone and non-verbals are understood.Feedback is NOT inherently negative and dangerous, but it’s helpful.Honesty and vulnerability are key in effective communication.Appreciate the unique differences in people.The benefits of assessments to help us understand ourselves and each otherKey takeaways from Monique Resources: Connect with Monique Helstrom: Website, Facebook, and LinkedIn Mentioned in this episode: Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson Connect with Meg Explore the STaR Coach Community and see what’s available there for you!
