In this episode, I will share an easy process for wrapping up the current year’s responsibilities while preparing for the new year in both your personal and professional lives.

Every executive loves it when they can trust their assistants to handle the day to day minutiae, stay four steps ahead of them, make decisions on their behalf, can pivot on a dime while keeping their cool, and in other ways, appear to get things done as if she had superpowers and wore an invisible cape to the office every day. If you’ve ever had an executive assistant like this, then you also understand the pain of losing and having to replace them as well. If you haven’t, buckle up, I will help you by giving you three to four major areas to focus on. See you inside the episode!

In this episode, I will share how I helped heal the relationship between a CTO client and her executive assistant. While each person, industry, and position may be different, the relationship between you and your support system is still the same that have a serious relationship. See you inside the episode.

Inside this episode, I will save you time, money and frustration by sharing the number one thing that you need to have before you consider hiring, or firing your next executive assistant. You want to make sure that you are hiring the right person for the job versus hiring quickly and then having to fire and start the hiring process all over again, right? I know you do. So keep listening, and let’s see if you are honestly ready to hire an exceptional executive assistant or if you still have some personal work to do.

In this episode, I will share a few examples of what the right EA looks like. The first example will be when I once worked for the SVP of a sales division in a consumer packaged goods research firm. Knowing how to identify what he really needed by asking the right questions during my interview made him comfortable enough to open up and share his pain points with me. This opened the door for me to share with him how I could make those pain points go away. It worked. They called to offer me the job before I made it to the train to head home. I’ll even let you in on my secret weapon from the summer. How I managed to move mom into an assisted living facility, launch a new podcast and a new website while working a full time job, taking care of clients, giving international keynote speeches, being a board member, and a member of several committees all while holding down my full time job and maintaining my personal life and marriage without losing my mind.

Sometimes as busy women, we spin our wheels trying to do so many things in such a small window of time, that the bigger things that need our attention, get missed. Ever had a to do list a mile long and no clue what to do first, up into recently this was me. As a coach, do you try to help everybody instead of focusing your offers and messaging to the client base that you can do your best work with? As a mother? Are you running around trying to do everything you think your family will want you to do versus what would be most meaningful to them? As a lover, do you find yourself doing things for your significant other that does not yield the response you were looking for? And as a leader, do you find yourself delegating a task and then micromanaging your team members? If any of these sound like you keep listening. Whether you are majoring in the minors at home, at work or in love, it’s time you stop doing so many minor activities, and focus on what matters most.

I could not have asked for a better close to this month’s theme on menopause than with this month’s candid conversation guest, Kerry McKee.

Her medicine basket of psychological tools & creativity includes EMDR, IFS, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness meditation, non-dual inquiry, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), eco-therapy, depth psychology, and creating ritual. She loves helping other humans come home to the wholeness of their Self, and the wholeness of the living system of life. From the moment we first connected we realized we shared a common goal. Join Kerry and I as we have a real conversation about menopause as a rites of passage and her upcoming programs to help guide women through it. See you inside the episode.

So if you haven’t listened to the first episode in the series, you will definitely want to pause this one and go back to Episode 15, which is my personal journey, and you want to listen to that one first. As a reminder, October is National Menopause Month, and I’m so, so excited about it! Because of that, I’m dedicating four episodes this month specifically to this topic. This episode is a bit meaty, some might even call it ‘woo-woo’, but it is definitely informative. I would suggest you download this episode so that you have it handy to listen to at any time. Looking forward to sharing my metaphysical side with you. See you inside the episode.This is my personal journey of struggling to understand myself, and what was happening to my body.

Hello there, and welcome to National Menopause Month. October happens to be the month for several different things, and throughout the years I’ve celebrated the different things that meant something to me in my life. And so this year, menopause is right up there, so that is what I’m going to dedicate October’s episodes to. So this first episode is going to be my personal story. We’re going to begin with a replay of episode number five, which was titled Executive Women and Menopause.
This is my personal journey of struggling to understand myself, and what was happening to my body.
