What Choices Are You Making? While attending this week’s Florida Society of Association Executives annual conference, I had opportunity to learn from three excellent keynote speakers. Crystal Washington, CSP, CPAE whose topic was: Futureproof Yourself: Innovate and Thrive, U.S. Olympian Johnny Quinn spoke on Breaking Through Barriers: unleashing resilience, determination, and growth for unbounded success, and Jessica Stollings-Holder encouraged attendees to See Differences Differently: honor and include all perspectives to fuel success. Although different topics, each referenced the impact of making choices. We are faced with countless choices to make every day. They could be personal or business related. Some are simple and seemingly insignificant and others have significant consequences. Choices and the resulting action or non-action affect direction and subsequent results. What you do or don’t do, every decision is a choice. Every action taken or not taken is a choice. When you’re at that decision making intersection and there is a choice to be made which option will you choose and why? A question from Johnny Quinn about the choices we make, particularly resonated with me. “Are your actions consistent with the outcomes you have been hoping for?” Isn’t that a powerful focus point to keep in mind for choice making? Did you attend the FSAE Conference? What were your top takeaways? #makingchoices #decisionmaking #futureproofing #seeingdifferences

Be Intentional with Your Peer Group This inspiring image of the past presidents of the National Speakers Association in Austin symbolizes more than leadership; it represents a roadmap to personal and professional growth. "Surround yourself with those on the same mission as you." Here we see a diverse group of seasoned professionals who have not only excelled in their fields but have also paved the way for others to follow. Each of them brings a unique perspective, enriching their community and nurturing future leaders. 🚀 My Takeaway: Find four people who are experts and outstanding in their field. Get close to them, learn from their experiences, and draw inspiration from their journeys. In time, you will find yourself among them, becoming the fifth symbol of excellence and influence. This is the power of mentorship and networking. Courtney Clark Cheryl C. Jones Mindset Coach, Speaker and Trainer Patti DeNucci Teri Hill Schroeder Rick Lozano, CSP ...Kymberli Speight...

When writing your non-fiction book, focus on providing value to your readers. Your book should address their pain points, offer practical solutions, and share your unique insights and experiences. Start by identifying your target audience and understanding their needs, challenges, and aspirations. What questions do they have? What obstacles are they facing? How can your expertise help them achieve their goals? Once you have a clear picture of your ideal reader, write content that speaks directly to them. Use relatable examples, case studies, and stories to illustrate your points and make your advice more tangible. Break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand language and provide actionable tips and strategies that your readers can implement right away. Remember, your book is not about you; it's about your readers and the transformation you can help them achieve. By focusing on their needs and providing genuine value, you'll create a book that resonates with your audience and positions you as a trusted expert in your field. Need help crafting a client-attracting book? Let's connect! I've guided countless authors like you in creating powerful, impactful non-fiction books that make a real difference in people's lives.

CliftonStrengths Theme Pairing: Activator + Relator How this pairing would describe themselves: "I am energized by initiating action and forming deep and meaningful connections with a few trusted individuals." What it brings to the table: This combination brings a proactive approach to action, coupled with a focus on building strong, loyal relationships. It results in a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals work closely together towards shared objectives. Reflection Questions: How do you balance your drive for action with your need for deep connections and relationships? Can you share an example of how your ability to build strong relationships has enhanced teamwork and goal attainment? #ProactiveRelationshipBuilding #CollaborativeEnvironment #TrustedConnections #ActivatingRelator

You NEED to see this Report: Women - Small Business Ownership & Entrepreneurs (U.S. Senate Committee on Small business & entrepreneurship). A friend shared this information with me - I was somewhat surprised to see the data. I don't need data to tell me that women can drive the economic engine - with a little help. It does point out that women are less likely to ask, because they have learned that they are less likely to receive funding. So, we boot-strap and bet on ourselves. But, growth can be slow, or slower when compared to other businesses. I was surprised to see that they mentioned women don't get mentoring (coaching) as often as their counterparts. Now I can point to data that helps my friends understand WHY I left decades in one profession to enter Business Coaching. THIS is a BIG WHY. It's also why - if you are female (or men, too) - you are invited to my 60 minute workshop next week - "The 2 Things You Must Know To Create Wealth And Business Success". I'll put the information in the comments below. Share this with someone who needs to hear this. If you want a copy of the report, either message me - or ask for in the comments.

This week at Trevecca Nazarene University, we are exploring our top strength from #CliftonStrengths. My top strength is Relator, and it truly defines how I connect with others. As a Relator, I thrive on deep, meaningful relationships and I value trust and authenticity over surface-level interactions. In the mental health field and as a speaker, this strength enables me to build genuine connections by creating safe spaces where people feel heard, understood, and valued. Whether I’m leading a team, consulting, or presenting, the ability to foster these relationships is invaluable. However, Relator can also have its challenges. With a focus on close-knit connections, I sometimes find it a bit challenging to step outside my circle or to prioritize networking with new people. I recognize this can lead to missed opportunities for broader influence and growth. Hence, with intentionality towards expanding my network while still nurturing authentic connections, I can maximize the power of Relator to elevate my leadership. In mental health, being trusted is essential, and Relator naturally facilitates that trust. As a speaker, Relator helps me connect deeply with audiences by making my message more impactful. By leaning into this strength, I aim to be a leader who not only drives results, but also builds relationships that matter. What are your strengths? How are you allowing them to elevate your leadership today? Take a moment to assess if you are allowing your strengths to help you lead well. Tassany C. Henderson, Ed.D Kristin Bledsoe, Ed.D Ivy Valentine Pate Alexis Morris #Leadership #CliftonStrengths #MentalHealth #Relator #Authenticity #Growth

I'm looking forward to cofacilitating a workshop on Managing Emotions ,,, Restoring Hope, with Rev David Shelor at this event. Managing Emotions, Restoring Hope - Judy Joseph McSween & Rev. Dr. David Shelor Global research (Six Seconds State of the Heart Report 2024 – Global Emotional Intelligence Recession) reveals that there has been an overall decline in Emotional Intelligence over the last 4 years, characterized by burnout and low well-being. This translates to an overall decline in people’s self-awareness, self-management, and clarity of purpose. These findings have implications for our interpersonal relationships and our spirituality and, by extension, for how we engage self and others in transitional leadership and interim ministry. Increasingly, the transitions that need to be managed are the result of serious decline and existential threat to existing systems and methods, resulting in fear, high anxiety, loss of hope, and non-optimal decision-making. This experiential workshop transports participants through the research data, its implications, and how in developing and applying our own emotional intelligence competencies we can rebuild hope, develop resilience, and renew and strengthen self and others to fulfill the purpose for which we have been created and called.
