    Bias Clouds Judgment

    Bias Clouds Judgment

     
    We land on conclusions largely because of assumptions we have made. These are based on a bias.
     
    What are you assuming that makes THIS true?
     
    Bias is also the enemy of truth.
     
    We need to be willing to seek clarity to find truth.
     
    We must learn NOT to believe everything we think.
     
    In today's episode I examine how bias clouds our judgment in the context of seeking clarity of thought. We must recognize where our biases guide our conclusions if we hope to make rational decisions.
     
    Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.
    I'll hold space for you while you explore for what you need to optimize and how. This is the focus of my coaching practice. I welcome a chance to chat with you about how I can help.

     
    Walk with me using one or all of these options:
    Take the GRIT Scale and see where you land.

    Take the VIA strengths survey TODAY to evaluate where to focus.

    Blame Clouds Clarity

    Blame Clouds Clarity

    For what are you optimizing in 2023? For me it is for clarity.
    When we fall into the blame game we cloud our capacity to see with clarity. Our language patterns can be a means to recognize when we fall into this trap.
    Today the episode returns to the story of how language reveals and informs our mindset. 
    I argue that when language reveals a victim mindset we may be using blame to cloud clarity, unintentionally of course!
    Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.

    Clarity to Mitigate Unintended Consequences

    Clarity to Mitigate Unintended Consequences

    Optimizing for Clarity requires not only paying attention but remaining in learning mindset.
    In this episode I revisit SOBs and consider the importance of challenging our own conclusions and perhaps biases. As leaders we must be mindful of not simply the message we send through our words and actions, but the message that is received.
    The actual message is the one that is received NOT the one that is intended. THIS was a critical lesson for me as a leader. When we fail to dig deeply enough before landing on a conclusion, the unintended consequences can cause irreparable harm.
    Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.
    I'll hold space for you while you explore for what you need to optimize and how. This is the focus of my coaching practice. I welcome a chance to chat with you about how I can help.

    384 - HOW we explain anything Matters to True Clarity

    384 - HOW we explain anything Matters to True Clarity

    What's your EXPLANATORY STYLE?
    It is good to know what it is so it doesn't negatively influence your capacity to deliver on that for which you seek to optimize.
    In this episode I explore it with the help of an old Johnny Cash song.

    Spirit of the Wild Horse

    Spirit of the Wild Horse

    Be ready to let your hair down and soar like you are riding the wind.
    FIRST get out of your head, which limits you. FIND your inner wild and enjoy the ride!
    I refuse to sit where I am put and turn to stone. How about you AND what are you doing to fight this very common human trend?
    AND, in this effort WHAT are you Optimizing for in 2023?
    In this episode I reflect on the spirit of the over-sized mare I enjoyed as a child. She helped me learn what it means to soar with full abandon losing sight of time and expectations.
    Join me on the journey, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.

    Clarity in the FACE of Negative Thoughts

    Clarity in the FACE of Negative Thoughts

     
    Do you have your version of a Blue Jay feather to focus you on clarity?
    For WHAT are you Optimizing in 2023?
    In this episode I reflect on how negative thoughts can sabotage and how we benefit from developing helpful interventions of creativity and imagination to break the limiting thinking these cognitive distortions generate.
    Join me on the journey, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.
    I'll hold space for you while you explore for what you need to optimize and how. This is the focus of my coaching practice. I welcome a chance to chat with you about how I can help.
    In Episode 362 I share my version of the Farmer's Allegory.  I will drop an image with the original allegory in my LinkedIn this week as well.

Laser Quick...Makes You Think, Makes A Difference!

Let me start by saying, I am NOT a podcast fan. I've found them to be too long and with too little real info. What attracted me to this was admittedly the title...just love all things and peeps that kickass! This podcast is EXACTLY what podcasts should offer...laser quick tips, insights, and REAL things to action on! If you are a woman who has been recently promoted to a new role/ressponsibility, a fempreneur, or basically any woman in the business world who seeks to strengthen your voice and corporate influence...THIS podcast is the perfect recipe for you!

Kickass is right!

I've listened to the first 3 podcasts - only because that is all that is available right now! I was hooked after the first one. I am a fan of Rox Bartel because I have benefited immensely from her wise and out of the box Kickass Coaching. Her tips and insights are helpful and focused solely on helping you get to where you envision yourself being.
