July Leadership Mixology eZine
Bold moves requires bold purpose. Read about two extraordinary women...
|
Greetings!!
Back in April, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to a room full of men and women during a very special supper meeting. When I initially got the invitation and I thought about what I would speak about, immediately these words hit my spirit
"remind them that no matter what is happening in their life, if they are here on this earth, they have a purpose and they need to discover it."
Now you may be wondering what was so significant about this topic. Well you see, my invitation was from The Chicago Help Initiative, which provides dinner for 200 homeless or otherwise disadvantaged people every Wednesday at the facilities of Catholic Charities.
For this talk, I was asked to speak about reinforcing their confidence in themselves. This topic was right up my alley because building people up as leaders aligns with my purpose and what I do in my mastery programs and coaching practice. It is all about igniting the BIG!
But more so, igniting that BIG, which is in all of us, begins first by igniting purpose!
My belief is that effective leaders are purpose-driven. But the caveat is that you can't be purpose-driven until you are first purposed-defined!
You'll hear me say, your leadership is not for you. You develop and cultivate your leadership so that you can effectively give it away to benefit humanity.
Boldness is required to give your leadership away. But then again, boldness is what leadership is all about. It takes confidence, courage and boldness to operate as a
purpose-defined, purpose-driven leader.

I've entitled this July issue of my Leadership Mixology eZine Bold Moves Require Bold Purpose.
As a leader, when you are in your purpose, operating on purpose you move forward boldly and with much more ease.
You also operate with greater clarity enabling you to call out for help when you need it and navigate through the maze of chaos when it gets tossed on your path.
In this issue, you'll read about two women who've achieved extraordinary results through bold moves.
What you'll find is that they both share not only real results; they both are in media and also share the same last name. How uncanny is that? Hmm, maybe there is a message for me here...
Well, I hope you enjoy their story as much as I enjoyed catapulting them to a new level in their leadership.
Grace and peace,
The Leadership Mixologist™
P.S. My talk at, The Chicago Help Initiative supper went well. The seed of purpose was planted. |

There is no other way to start my story other than to say that Chareen is just a straight shooter who lives up to her value of delivering empowering care. She always has an intelligent, honest and encouraging word that hits both the spirit and soul.
I was on location shooting a commercial after being out of the business for two years. I found myself in front of the camera having doubts about whether I could do this or not.
Those doubts quickly rose up in me as fear and that fear turned into insecurity. I started losing my confidence.
It had gotten so bad that the last time me and my co-star were shooting, the Director counted 156 takes - all on account of me. I felt deflated and my spirit eroding.
I knew that I was close to being fired. Take after take my spirit felt more and more crushed. I was really feeling defeated.
That night I had an emotional meltdown. I wasn't performing the way they had expected nor at the level I knew I was capable of. I just wasn't pulling it off.

The next day I reached out to Chareen and booked an emergency Ignite Your Power™ coaching session. She has such a unique gift for seeing through the "stuff" as she likes to call it.
In our session, she talked me right off that ledge of inadequacy. Her coaching was so on point. I felt empowered.
We were shooting later that night. I went in, ran the play Chareen gave me, and we wrapped the commercial
that night!
I know that Chareen is more than a coach - she is every bit an iron sharpener. She sees the BIG in you and guides you to perform like a leader.
By investing in one hour of coaching with Chareen, I regained my confidence and went into my shoot and produced. There is no price I can put on that. I can't remember the last time I've gotten that much value that fast, ever!
Whatever problem you're facing, I hope for your sake you do whatever it takes to work with Chareen. Your will not be disappointed!
And get this, as a bonus, the Director let me keep the clothes. |

3 Ways to Maintain Mindfulness
Every Woman Should Practice
|
|
|
On your journey in life, purpose is everything. Because of the bumps, potholes and obstacles you'll encounter along the way, being able to maintain a state of mindfulness can help along the way.
Yes, it takes mindfulness to stay in purpose, on purpose and with purpose. So here are 3 ways you can stay tapped into your internal compass that keeps you on the path of purpose.
1 Keep a Journal. Start writing about where you are at this point in your life. Writing in a journal can help you keep track all of the thoughts you're trying to keep in your head, which creates mind clutter. Get out pen and paper and start decluttering.
2 Start asking some questions like what your ideal life looks like. Is the outlook for your future good? Are you on path to achievement? But most importantly, are you happy with what you see in front of you. Write about what truly makes you happy and the possibilities you see for your future.
3 Cultivate an attitude of gratitude by maintaining a daily list of things you appreciate, big, small, and every place in between. This keeps you motivated and grateful. When your feel yourself in a world of complaint or your progress slowing down, read through what you've written and get rejuvenated.

There are no sweeter words for a coach to hear than "I had a breakthrough." As a business owner that coaches other business owners and entrepreneurs, it is always refreshing to hear a client come right out and tell you "I feel I'm getting my money's worth."
This was the case with my client Misty - a powerhouse with a lot on her plate.
When Misty engaged me as her coach back in March, she was looking to "catapult" her business to an unprecedented level. As a leader, she needed help handling all the BIG she was responsible for, which meant she needed structure that fit how she operates.
During our second session, Misty was primed and ready. She had gotten all of the supplies I asked her to pick up. She was engaged in doing the assignments in my Mixology On-Demand coaching program. But most of all, she was coachable.
You see, I view 90% of my coaching as having miracle causing conversations that lead my clients to the
"uh-oh spark" right before their
"aha-moment" and their breakthrough. This happened for Misty.
In this particular session, we created a custom structure for her where she could call the shots and plan her time with specificity. We also built into her process a "Misty Day" - that one full day she knows she needs for herself. The result? MASSIVE PRODUCTIVITY with time left over!
Misty got so clear on what it means to have Time Integrity™ that she went out and bought a new planner so she could drill down even further. The things that have now become priceless for Misty with her Time Integrity™ breakthrough are:
- Clarity and peace of mind
- Quality time with her children
- Ability to manage unexpected schedule shifts
Misty is now in peak position to accelerate to the next level. This month we are doing a special CEO Identity VIP Day where we'll work on creating strategies for Misty's media kit and mapping them to the type of photos she'll need when she does her professional photo shoot in August.
One of the hardest things business owners and entrepreneurs encounter is delaying that decision to engage a coach that can help them move forward. For those that decide boldly, they experience breakthroughs and produce results rapidly, like Misty. Isn't your business worth it?
The words that Misty expressed are sweet, and what makes them even sweeter is knowing that by operating in my purpose I get to make a difference for hers.

3 Things I'm Lovin' This Month |

OK, maybe we haven't had the long stretch of hot sunny days we are used to here in Chicago, but nevertheless, it's summer, and you can bet I'll be taking advantage of those days relaxing and looking up at "crayon skies" in my hammock. Yes, even a City Girl has to have her
Summer Fabs. |

Enjoying eating ice cream |
|
|
Recently I've seen quite a number of ice cream trucks cruising around the city. Truth be told, I totally enjoy ice cream. I can't splurge, but in the summer I allow myself a daily serving. The trick my grandmother taught me is to not put it in a cup, but simply take a tablespoon which is enough. Yep. It works! |

I met Lisa Dietlin at a networking event a few years ago where she spoke about her book
Making a Difference III. Her stories were so facinating and I attribute this to her being a facinating woman who lives her purpose every day. This month I'm lovin' her current book, The Power of Three. |
