    E37 Create Strong Self-Confidence by Releasing Past Narratives with Shervon Laurice

    "I want to be more confident, but _________." That space is usually filled with a memory or experience from the past that makes you feel that building self-confidence at this stage in your life is impossible. Speaking your truth is a cornerstone of the work psychotherapist Shervon Laurice does at her practice Restore Tranquility. Past narratives can impact your ability to heal and live in the present. Join confidence coach and speaking expert Amber Rose West and Shervon Laurice as they discuss the importance of creating self-confidence by releasing past narratives, leading with present-centered awareness, and listening to your intuition as you transition and heal through life. HIGHLIGHTS - Shervon describes using psychotherapy to become the creator of your own life. - The impact of 2020 and how people are healing from the pandemic. - Present-centered awareness is about taking time to release the past, spend less time focusing on the future, and learning to find happiness and healing in the present. - There is power in using past narratives as *part* of the healing process rather than trying to ignore the past. - Amber and Shervon discuss the two ways to utilize forgiveness. - Your Inner Mentor can help you reconnect to your intuitive voice. Amber and Shervon share how they interact with their inner mentors. - As you transition through life, it's okay that your likes and dislikes also change. - Ultimate healing comes from releasing the past and focusing in the present which will build a future you can enjoy.

    E35 Design an Epic Career that Showcases Your Brilliance with Dr. Carol Parker Walsh

    What's the difference between working a career and designing a career that is intrinsically fulfilling? That's the question I had for executive and leadership coach Dr. Carol Parker Walsh. She helps her clients showcase their brilliance and design an epic career and life that matters. She’s an award-winning certified career and personal brand strategist, life and executive coach, a TEDx presenter, 3x Amazon best-selling author, and keynote speaker.  Join confidence coach Amber Rose West and Dr. Carol as they discuss the power of building a career that is fulfilling to you at any point in your life.  HIGHLIGHTS "Do you love what you do?" How to ask yourself intrinsically.  Men make career changes more easily than women. Women more often have big life occurrences that give them permission to seek change.  How to design a career that feels like an epic journey. Pushing back against the mythology that we only get one career in our lifetime. Accomplished people feel imposter syndrome the most. "The disease of the successful." Appraising your worth outside of your work. The evolution of careers will take a more humancentric approach to work in the future. CONNECT WITH DR.

    E34 The 3 Authenticity Superpowers You Must Supercharge as a Business Leader

    Business leaders are very inspiring people. Ambitious people look at the the things others have accomplished and think, "I want to do that too." When admiring the work of others, it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to do it just like them. As business owners, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs, trying to copy cat what others are doing can actually hinder the success of your business.  Your authenticity as a business leader is essential to your success. Join confidence coach and public speaking expert Amber Rose West as she outlines 3 of the most important superpowers that will help you grow your authenticity and magnetize your business to people who are dying to work with you. HIGHLIGHTS - The reasons why following the successful people in your industry isn't working for you. - Other people aren't sharing their success to brag, they are showing you what's possible. - It's essential to create values for your personal life, your business, and your community. - Knowing and sharing these values helps people make decisions about working with you. They benefit you too because you want to work with people who align with your values also. - Owning your business isn't just about the paperwork you file with the state. It's also about how well you stand up for your business as the best solution for people. Own it!! - People rely on you being confident about what you serve. - The power of your authenticity as a business leader is that you are different. - Remember - people will buy what's in the box but more importantly, they buy from the person holding the box. Own what makes you and your services unique!
