Read MoreI set out to make 2020 the year had my roar heard for more people in different communities and audiences. And as part of that, I recently sat down with other female leaders and entrepreneurs to record five different podcast episodes to share my story and what I know about leadership development. It was incredibly fun and I can’t wait for you to hear those podcasts. Keep an eye on my social media feeds so you won’t miss them as they are released over the next couple of weeks and months.
Today’s blog is going to cover a common theme that popped up in every single podcast conversation: How to feel nourished as a leader and how to actually allow your community to nourish you.
Read MoreToday’s blog is inspired by a conversation I just had with my cohost, Mery, on our podcast, Coachtaku.
(If you haven’t checked out Coachtaku yet, I highly recommend it. It's about making anime your new life coach. We go into the lexicon of amazing anime – both retro and current – and point to the life coaching themes that occur in these shows. We even offer some coaching pointers to some of the characters, as if they existed in real life. It's amazing.)
The way coaching and animate transitioned into leadership coaching, this week, was during the recording of an episode around coaching teams. Specifically, how do you elevate the voices of every single member of your team?
Read MoreToday’s’ blog is inspired by a real conversation that I had with a client about her core values.
I’m going to share a bit about our session. Keeping confidentially in mind, I’ll share the logistics of the experience but leave out the personal details. We’re going to talk about why values are important as well as why knowing your values is really important.
Read MoreLet’s talk about appreciation and celebration and why they matter.
We associate celebrating with things like birthday parties, weddings, and life events. We don’t associate celebrating with the appreciation of things in our daily lives.
Is that a weird suggestion for a leadership coach to make? Well, my assertion is that celebration and appreciation are even more important in leadership development.
Read MoreLet’s talk about feelings versus commitments.
Specifically, what does it mean to choose from our feelings versus to choose from our commitments?
This is a really appropriate topic for me, this week, since I almost didn’t write anything because of how I'm feeling. I’m going to use myself as an example to talk about feelings and commitments and where we choose from. We’ll also talk about applying this concept to yourself.
Read MoreIf you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve seen the teaser for my brand-new podcast that I’m co-hosting: Coachtaku.
This podcast is all about making anime (Japanese animation) your life coach. It’s been a project that my good friend Mery J Trochez Alberto and I have been talking about since February. We have a couple weeks’ worth of episodes lined that we’ll be releasing every Friday at 9:00 a.m. EST.
Read MoreJas and Jo of the Abundant Culture podcast brought me onto their show to talk about what it takes to become your best self as a leader. I had so much fun talking about empowerment, permission, and all things coaching. Click the link to listen.
Read MoreMost people know how to play Tag. I tag you, you're it, I get to run around. Tag me, I'm it, you get to run around. Amoeba Tag is a fun adaptation of the classic game, where once I tag you, rather than running off, we're now linked together.
Read MoreMy Facebook feed recently reminded me that I had reached the 4-year anniversary of the first time I posted my Hear Her Roar branding. It left me sentimental, grateful, and thinking about why I love what I do.
I am incredibly lucky to have been doing what I love for nearly 5 years.
Read MoreI want to talk about the importance of allowing for all types of feedback, in whatever space you're in.
I’m not talking about just creating an environment where everything you hear is positive all the time, but purposefully allowing for some of the negative or less savory feedback to come out.
Read MoreWho doesn’t love a good animal metaphor?
This week, I want to talk about leading teams through the lens of pack mentality. Specifically, I want to share some differences between sheep and wolves. I’ll then tie these differences back into leadership.
Read MoreTwo months ago, I launched the Leadership Gremlin Quiz: A free resource to provide some whimsy and wisdom to your leadership development. I created the quiz with two goals in mind: 1) Appeal to anyone who loves a good personality quiz, and 2) Develop a way for someone to create awareness around the strengths and weaknesses of their current leadership style.
Read MoreColette Stefan, host of The Truth is Funny Radio Show, had me on to share the value in not just being outspoken as a leader…but also silent as one. There is power in silence, tune into the recording to learn more about what I mean.
Read MoreSometimes when I sit down to write or film, I am completely stumped.
When that happens, I tend to get into my head and freak out a bit. What sometimes help me, in these moments, is doing a card reading.
Read MoreI usually talk about the kind of leader that you are. This week, I want to focus on the leader that you are not – or, can’t be.
Read MoreYou may have noticed that I decided not to post a blog last week. I made that decision for a very particular reason. If you live in the United States, you know about the current movements activated around social and racial justice. Last week, as a stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, I decided to mute myself.
Read MoreLet’s talk about misogyny.
Specifically, I want to talk about the inner misogynist that many female leaders harbor without even knowing it.
Read MoreThis week’s blog will help team leaders who are struggling to move a project move forward. Keep reading if you are the leader of a team and you notice that your project results are halted or experiencing false starts.
