142 | Reseting Your Professional Life | Andrea Crisp

WITH ANDREA CRISP

“More than ever we are experiencing issues in our bodies and physical symptoms manifest when we are feeling stressed when we are not allowing ourselves to process through trauma, unresolved emotions. And they can compound if they are not taken care of.”

— Andrea Crisp

About This Episode:

This may not have been 2020 you were expecting, and you may even feel disappointed with what did not happen in your career this year but that does not mean that you have not been handed an opportunity to change all that. What does it take to press the reset button and start something new? If ever there was a year to take brave steps in your career, this is it.

In the second part of this three-part series, I will be sharing what I have learned having to navigate this year in my professional life and coaching business. I’ll be covering the art of pivoting, when it’s time to invest in your business, and how to get into alignment professionally.

Questions for reflection:

1. Is there an area of your professional life that needs to change? Accountability, go in a completely different direction, make a change

2. Reimagine your business 6 months from now — what needs to happen in order for you to get there?

3. What is out of alignment in your business?

18 | Taking A Look Back

WITH ANDREA CRISP

About This Podcast:

Often the one thing we overlook when we are dreaming and planning for the future is being aware of how the past has played a significant role in where we are today. There is a significant benefit of looking back on what has worked and what has not in order to set the tone for what is ahead. And as the year comes to a close in less than 2 months, it is the perfect season to set aside time to be intentional about what you want out of 2018.

This episode is the first of a three-part series on goal setting for 2018. We start right at the beginning -- looking back at the year that has just passed. I speak candidly about what worked for me and what did not and the process I use to set goals moving forward.

To get started on the process, carve out some time for yourself to reflect on the past year and ask yourself the following questions:

1) What have your experiences this year taught you about yourself?

2)What did you experience this year that you would rather not repeat?

3) What were the top 3 greatest things to happen to you?

If you are ready to take your goals to the next level, but are not sure where to start -- let's schedule a 30 min FREE strategy session so that you can have the clarity you need to move forward in 2018.

15 | Are You Living Bravely

WITH ANDREA CRISP

About This Podcast:

In this BONUS episode of The Couragecast, I decided that it was time that I took a brave step and pressed record with no notes and no preparation to chat about the Live Brave Challenge. 

The reason most women don't pursue their 'big idea' is because they are afraid to face the uncertainty of risk. It's time to stop undervaluing what you have to offer the world. I'll help you become the woman you are meant to be! For 5 days beginning Monday, October 30, 2017, you will be challenged to step out of your comfort zone and into the life you were meant to live. During the challenge, you will receive daily emails direct to your inbox so that will give you the tools you need to put into practice the art of living bravely. You'll also have access to an amazing group of women in a private Facebook group who will be joining me live each day to share their journey of overcoming fear.  The best part of this challenge will be the community that is forged and the encouragement that you will leave with at the end of the five days.

13 | The Myth Of Work-Life Balance With Andrea Crisp

WITH ANDREA CRISP

About This Podcast:

In an ideal world, what would your life look like? In this episode of The Couragecast, I’ll be answering a great question that was sent to me from Karin in Montreal. She asked, ‘why is the word balance so important, can I actually live a balanced life?’. I’ll debunk the myth that all we need is work-life balance to be happy. It’s time to redefine what success really looks like. 

My version of success will be different than yours — and that’s ok. You may value more relational time than I do. I may value financial stability more than you do. Whatever the case, success is what you prioritize and value in your life.  

As I was preparing for this podcast I came across an incredible article in the Harvard Business Review. This article was written about the four characteristics that are most commonly found in people who achieve success. I will link the article for you in the show notes. 

The first characteristic of someone who has achieved success is that they have understood what happiness looks like in their life. They know how to get out there and enjoy life and to take time to do things that bring them joy. When you think about your life, can you pinpoint the area’s in your life that truly bring you happiness? Or are you so focused on success that you have forgotten to enjoy your life?

The second characteristic is achievement. Those who have become successful have followthrough on the goals that they set for themselves. They have been able to achieve different milestones in their career, financial life, and have stayed the course even when things got tough. Have you been able to see your achievements as success? Are you moving towards your goals, or trying to do too many things at once in hopes that you will find balance. 

The third characteristic is that successful people have significant relationships with the people closest to them. They have not distanced themselves from those they love, they have found ways to spend more meaningful time with their friends and family. Who are the significant relationships in your life? Are you investing in those people?

And the fourth is legacy. Successful people are leaving the world a better place than they found it. They have discovered their specific purpose and are intentional about living it. Are you making a mark on the world, or are you just going through the motions.
