It’s been a crazy few weeks with two sick kids (alternating, so there always seems to be one home), a lost phone in Mexico (a situation I learned to embrace), and working on a book proposal deadline.
And now that I’m feeling a bit more settled in this week, I wanted to drop you an update on some upcoming events and travels.
1. JUST A FEW SEATS LEFT AT MY UPCOMING ‘I.P. RETREAT’ IN PHOENIX
Join me for 3 full days of turbo content creation, March 19-21.
You’ve got the high-paying job, the praise, the house, the car, the marriage… you should feel accomplished, right? Not always. My friend Kelsey Ramsden ticked off all the boxes, and even after major achievements such as being named Canada’s top female entrepreneur (twice!), she still felt frustrated and lonely. Talking with other entrepreneurs, Kelsey realized she wasn’t the only one experiencing what she now calls a “success hangover”. So… she wrote the book on it.
On #GlambitionRadio, Kelsey discusses her groundbreaking new book, “Success Hangover: Ignite Your Next Act.
I’m guessing you’re likely all too familiar with the often difficult balance of juggling your feminine qualities within the world of entrepreneurship. Historically, feminine qualities such as sensitivity and intuition have been perceived as weaknesses in our society. But think about the possibilities if those traits were encouraged instead. What if you brought more femininity to solving challenging situations… instead of repressing those traits?
On #GlambitionRadio, co-authors of “The Feminine Revolution: 21 Ways to Ignite the Power of Your Femininity for a Brighter Life and a Better World”, Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors, discuss how to think about feminine qualities in a different way.
You’re about to meet a woman who has been a longtime force of nature in the world of women’s fitness. Beginning in the ‘90s, Cathy Savage paved the way in competition coaching for women.
But more importantly since then, she’s worked to shift the current industry’s oversexed focus back to where it should be: empowerment, athleticism, and health. And I’m honored this prominent powerhouse is a client of mine.
Cathy has been featured on MTV, ABC News, and Fox News, and she is on the prestigious Advisory panel of and a contributor for Oxygen Magazine and Strong Magazine.
In 2015, one of my longtime followers pulled me aside at an event, and quietly shared, “I knew the moment you were back.”
I paused and considered the observation.
Hmmm. I was never ‘gone’. I had been very actively working on and in my business, growing our programs, managing the team, advising my high-end clients, and out there speaking and networking.
And then I realized what she was actually talking about: my thought leadership.
(When I use that term, it’s not loosely. I mean being truly a thought LEADER… not just anyone who has a bevy of followers online.)
I paused to consider.
Let’s do this! There’s some powerful energy in the air for 2019 around creating what you REALLY want next. But there are some major moves you have to consider first to get there, and I’m sharing them with you on this special solo episode of #GlambitionRadio.
My first recommendation may surprise you, and that’s not what to take on, but what to let go of. And I give you my special secret formula to identify those things quickly. You can’t move into your true ICONIC work until you decide what’s NOT up to par for you anymore.
Entrepreneurs with kids often underestimate the importance of good childcare to support our careers and our missions (not to mention our marriages)! And you can thank Lynn Perkins, CEO and Co-Founder of UrbanSitter, for creating an app that makes finding even last minute childcare easier and more trustworthy than ever.
What’s different about UrbanSitter than any other app or site is it plugs into your existing social networks to find sitters and nannies. So for example, you can link to your Facebook network, school, church, or other community organization, and you’ll instantly see the sitters that are being used regularly and recommended within.
If you ever watched the shopping channel QVC over the years, you likely caught a glimpse of this gorgeous, well-spoken woman introducing you to a new clothing staple or beauty product you couldn’t live without. Lisa Robertson was arguably the network’s most popular and best performing host of all time, generating a huge fan base and generating billions of dollars in revenue. In 2012 she launched her own Lisa Robertson Collection to create and feature her own designs as well as more of her favorite things, and she moved on from QVC in 2014.
But why did she really leave, and how has the transition been for her?
This is a story of personal reinvention, as well as fashion innovation. Meet Lyndie Benson. You may not know her name, but her talents were behind the career of her husband for 30 years: saxophonist Kenny G. (Many don’t know that Lyndie named all of Kenny’s commercially successful albums and names of the songs, as well as designed most of the album covers.) But when their marriage came to an end a few years ago, she decided it was high time to put her own creative passions first. Her sustainable luxury fashion brand Bleusalt is barely a few years out of the gate, but its chic, relaxed, eco-style has already drawn the attention of celebs like Cindy Crawford and Patrick Dempsey.
