The Things We Carry Jen Underwood

Does no longer needing to fight mean you’ve become boring or uninteresting? 
 
Can only the fight and grit keep people’s attention in your business? Or can calm be interesting too?
 
I wasn’t expecting to go here, but we did. On this week’s episode I invited Ashley Kruse, a dear friend and member of Emotional Leadership, to join me for a coaching session. Here’s the thing though - she’s coaching me! And in true Ashley fashion, it was a surprising yet beautiful and really profound coaching session. Join us for this discussion on what comes after the grit, whether I can embrace the good stuff calling me forward, and why at first the idea of not fighting completely messes me up. 
 
We’re exploring: 
Why you might be holding back the wave of good that’s ready for you Feeling more comfortable with the struggle than with success The fear of becoming boring if life starts getting easy A new season of Soft Leadership & how I’m leaning in What I’m committing to doing moving forward in my own work  Details on Emotional Leadership starting soon! And more

Are you feeling stuck when it comes to your business? 
 
Maybe you’re feeling uninspired or inconsistent when it comes to showing up? 
 
Well, you’re not alone, friend. And today’s coaching session might be the breakthrough you’re needing to feel inspired, to get unstuck, and to start showing up consistently with passion!
 
Today, I’m excited to welcome Karen. She’s an anti-diet dietician and intuitive eating coach who’s hoping today’s session can help propel her forward in her business in regards to strategy, consistency, and connecting with her ideal client. But what starts as a session around her business quickly turns into something different, a direction neither of us was expecting. So, join us today for this quick but powerful session and find out what’s blocking Karen’s creativity and passion. Could it be what’s got you feeling stuck as well? 
 
We’re exploring: 
Why Karen feels stuck: Is it the pressure & restraints of consistency or something else? What she’s burnt out on: It’s not what she thinks at first!  The feeling of not-enoughness that results from comparison & how to counter it What happens to me when I stop doing my own practices & where it shows up A simple, quick exercise for releasing pent up anger & why releasing it is crucial And much more with Karen!

What should you do when your client decides to compete with you? 
 
Or, are you the client and you know it’s time to part ways with your coach? What should you say? 
 
This can be a hard conversation to have, but it does come with the territory of having relationships. And today, my former & current client, Ellie Barclay, who supports entrepreneurs & founders to harness their genius so they can go ALL in on their life & business, is joining me for this discussion. The two of us had this exact conversation not too long ago when Ellie decided to let me go as her coach. So, tune in to find out how it went! 
 
We’re exploring: 
How to know it’s time to part ways with your coach
What leadership looks like when your client wants to leave (It’s not what you think!)
Why coaching is SO effective & what it’s designed to amplify
If it’s OK that clients want to leave? What does it mean? Should you adjust? 
Who holds more responsibility in the completion conversation to ensure its *clean*?
What will automatically cause a trauma response within this conversation
Why Ellie decided to complete & then return to coaching with me
And much more!

As leaders it can be scary to admit a change is necessary. You set out to do something new, announce it publicly, and then feel pressure to stick with it, despite knowing it’s not right. But in life, in business, and in relationships, change is expected. In this week’s episode, I’m pulling from my own life and the recent changes I’ve had to make and I’m letting you in on the details. It’s not easy, but if you set out to stay aligned with your integrity, you just might find that making those hard decisions and having those hard conversations can change your life for the better. It’s all about alignment and change this week. It can be sticky, but it can be so good! So, let’s dive in! 
I’m exploring: 
How I decided a change in my recent program was necessary and what about the program felt misaligned with my integrity The positive outcomes I’ve experienced since making this uncomfortable decision If, as a leader, you’re allowed to change direction and what it means if you do How the fear of judgment can keep you misaligned in your business and life Questions to ask yourself about your alignment What to do after you’ve accepted that a change is required  
And so much more!

Have you given thought to what the main components are in successful leadership? What do you really need to bring to the table to be an effective leader? There are a lot of different ideas on what skills you should master, and today I am sharing what I see as the four main things you need to thrive.  In this solo episode, I offer a lot to think about and some questions you can ask yourself about how you can grow your own leadership skills!  
We’re Exploring:
The one component you need to be successful at the other three How therapy models can differ from coaching models and what that key difference accomplishes What it really takes to make someone a great teacher, and how you can incorporate these traits into your teaching The ways in which ALL leaders are really coaches and why coaching skills are so important How facilitation can be used in many areas of both our professional and personal lives Using your understanding of trauma responses and others’ emotions to be a better leader Why it is so important to always be growing and learning And so much more!
