Nearly 10% of American workers take no vacation da Nearly 10% of American workers take no vacation days at all. According to a study by Glassdoor, the fear of falling behind is the number one reason people aren’t using their vacation time.⁠ For me, Covid has made vacation seem like a distant memory. While I did take some time off over the Christmas holidays, I wasn’t as intentional as I should have been about vacation (or staycation) time. ⁠ ⁠ Still, giving yourself permission to get away (even if just mentally), is SO important. In fact, it’s so important, that I was even on T.V. talking about it a few years ago! I hope you’ll be intentional about taking advantage of your vacation time. (And, if you’re self-employed like me, remember that you might have actually made that choice for the flexibility it affords - so don’t forget to give yourself some time off too)! ⁠ ⁠ Want to see what I said about vacations back in 2018?

One thing I hear from clients all the time (and I’m guilty of it is myself), is that they dim their shine. They might have inspirations, desires, or ideas that they squelch because they wonder what others would say. Often, the concern isn’t even about others - it’s their own self-criticism and lack of belief in themselves that holds them back. ⁠ ⁠ What’s one thing you could do today that will make you more fully expressed? My commitment to myself is to go write an article, and to paint!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #noholdingback #dowhatyoulike #whatmakesyouhappy #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
Life is short. Still, many of us are preoccupied w Life is short. Still, many of us are preoccupied with the need to achieve a specific goal before we allow ourselves to live in accordance with our true selves. I hear it all the time (and have been guilty of it myself). ⁠ ⁠ “I’ll be happy when I…”⁠ “I could never say that - what if they don’t like it?”⁠ “How would others react?”⁠ ⁠ These are the sorts of thoughts that can prevent us from living in a way that is aligned with our deepest goals and values. It can cause us to play small, and focus on being what others would have us be, instead of being true to ourselves. ⁠ ⁠ In her book, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” palliative care nurse, Bronnie Ware, interviewed patients who were looking back on their lives, asking them their regrets, or what they wish they might have done differently. Scroll through to see the top 5 answers.⁠ ⁠ Then, check in with yourself to see what your responses might be. ⁠ ⁠ What changes could you make today to prevent having those regrets?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #lifehappiness #makethemostofit #business #goals #entrepreneurlife #smallbusiness #businessowner #mindset⁠ #inspiration #leadership #highperformance #executivecoaching #success #motivation #entrepreneur #coaching #productivity #mindfulness #career #stressmanagement #mompreneur #success #leader #emotionalintelligence #EQ #softskills⁠
This troubling stat comes from Leader’s Beacon. This troubling stat comes from Leader’s Beacon. However, it shouldn’t be that surprising, given that a majority of individuals are thrust into leadership positions without any formal training. As a result, many new leaders, who were great individual contributors, end up making it up as they go along - which can be a recipe for sub-standard performance.⁠ ⁠ If you’re a new leader, and you want to increase your confidence in your role and your odds for success, I encourage you to check out my Inspirational Leadership University course. In it, you’ll learn all the techniques you’ll need to be a successful leader - from management tactics such as delegation and accountability, to essential leadership skills like creating a psychologically safe and inclusive environment, and developing your staff.
