This show is your inside look at the conversations happening between the consultants, coaches, and strategists who work with small business owners and team leaders like you. Every episode, I sit down with an expert who works behind the scenes with people like you. We talk about how to get clear on what matters most, make real progress, and get everyone else on board for the ride. Because you're not just running a business. You're carrying the mental load of your whole life, and it can feel like there's nowhere to put it down. This show is where we work on that. I'm Elise Enriquez, productivity consultant and coach. I'm kind of like a professional organizer for your brain, your work, and your team. New episodes every month.

    Ep 132 - Your Team Doesn't Need Perfect. They Need Clear. - A Conversation with Jennifer McKibbin Harris

    Jennifer McKibbin Harris has spent eight years working with growing businesses on the people side of their company. She's not your stuffy HR person. She's the one leaders call when the house is on fire, and ideally before it gets to that. In this episode we talk about: Why you already have a culture, whether you created it intentionally or not, and what to do about itThe stuff that happens between hiring and firing that most leaders don't think about until something goes wrongWhy leadership can be so lonely and what it means to have a safe place to say the thing you can't say to your teamWhy your team doesn't need you to be perfect. They need you to be clear.Find Jennifer at lookwithinhr.com and connect with her on LinkedIn. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn here.

    Ep 131 - What Would Break If You Walked Away? - A Conversation with Andy Nunez

    Andy Nunez has spent 30 years helping founders and operators see what they're too close to see. In this conversation we get into the messy gap between how a business feels like it's running and how it's actually running. Here's what we dig into: Why data alone isn't enough and why context is the thing most businesses are missingWhat "key person risk" actually means and why it probably applies to you, even if you've never heard the termHow scaling a business quietly creates communication breakdown at the leadership levelThe question Andy asks every founder that most can't fully answerWant to connect with Andy?

    Episode 130: Do More, More Naturally with Amy Bruske of Kolbe Corp

    Episode 130: Do More, More Naturally with Amy Bruske of Kolbe Corp You know how sometimes you're crushing it at work, checking all the boxes, getting promoted, doing everything "right"... and you're completely miserable? Yeah, we're talking about that today. I sat down with Amy Bruske from Kolbe Corp to dig into something I've been nerding out about for years: the Kolbe Index. This isn't about personality or skills—it's about how your brain actually gets things done. Here's what we covered: Why getting promoted based on your weaknesses is a recipe for burnout (even when you're "successful")The missing third part of your mind that most assessments ignore—and why it changes everything about productivityWhy someone else's perfect system might make you want to throw your laptop out the windowHow understanding your partner's or teammate's Kolbe results can turn conflict into collaborationThe three Cs framework: Clarity, Commitment, and Control (and how to actually use them)Resources mentioned: Book: Do More, More Naturally by Amy Bruske and David Kolbe (it's short, accessible, and has zero fluff—you can read it on a plane ride)Kolbe.com for free resources, videos, and to take your Kolbe IndexThey have versions for kids too, which means my nieces are about to get very familiar with assessmentsMy Kolbe result: 2, 8, 6, 5 (which explains SO MUCH about why I want the summary, not the dissertation) Want to share your biggest insight from this episode? I'd love to hear what landed for you. And if you have questions about the Kolbe Index, hit me up—I'm happy to point you to resources or share from my own experience. Keep making progress on what matters most to you.

    Ep 129 - Experts, Not Gurus: Why I Joined The Crew's Faculty Model

    Episode Title: "Experts, Not Gurus: Why I Joined The Crew's Faculty Model" Show Notes: This week I'm sharing a conversation I had with Mari Wuellner on her Living on Purpose Podcast about the state of the coaching industry and why it desperately needs a reality check. What we covered: • The trust deficit in coaching and why the industry needs better solutions • How the "guru model" is broken - nobody can actually be an expert at everything • Mari's revolutionary faculty model with The Crew and why I decided to join as productivity faculty • My 16-year journey watching the coaching industry explode, both the good and the messy • Why quick fixes and miracle promises are setting people up to fail • How my divorce taught me that systems beat willpower every time • The unsexy truth: real change takes time and consistent support Mari is revolutionizing coaching by bringing expert coaches together in one community at $97/month - because coaching shouldn't only be accessible to wealthy people. Instead of one person claiming they can fix your entire life, you get actual experts in productivity, mindset, wellness, and more. This felt like the right kind of coaching to be part of. We stick around long enough to help you actually implement what you learn instead of dumping information and disappearing. If you've been burned by coaching before or you're curious about what sustainable support actually looks like, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

    Ep 126 - When Your Plate is Too Full: Prioritize Your Way to a Lighter Load

    Ep 126 When Your Plate is Too Full: Prioritize Your Way to a Lighter Load Hey Shifters! In this episode, we're diving into that overwhelming feeling when your plate is too full - you know the one, where your chest gets tight just thinking about all those tasks? Let's talk about how to handle it, especially during the hectic Q4 season. In this episode: - Why Q4 can create extra stress and overwhelm - The importance of brain dumps when feeling overwhelmed - How to sequence projects instead of trying to tackle everything at once - Using your "bonus brain" (system) to manage tasks effectively - Moving projects to January (or later) isn't failing - it's smart planning   Key takeaways: - Just because something is on your to-do list doesn't mean it needs to be done now - Your system should support you by holding tasks until you're ready for them - Daily engagement with your task management system is crucial - Treat your project planning app like your email and calendar - check it daily - Your task list reminds you of what YOU want, while email often shows what OTHERS want   Until next time, Shifters, keep making progress on what matters most to you!   Want help building your own system? Let's chat about how to assess and improve your bonus brain. Reach out for a consultation! Email me: Elise@EliseEnriquez.com   GQueues Task/Project Management App: https://gqz.page.link/H83oswp1dR3EEijA8 (This is an affiliate link. I do get a little bonus if you eventually sign up for the paid version of GQueues. It's enough for me to buy a Vegan Oat Bar at Cafe Ladro. ;-) But that's not why I'm recommending GQueues, I'm recommending it because I believe in it and use it every single day!)
