This is episode 1085 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen and guest coach Klyn Elsbury. Klyn is a motivational keynote speaker, best-selling author, and executive coach and sales team coach. Klyn's early years were developed as a promising professional recruiter, winning several awards and moving up swiftly in sales organizations. Then a negative life twist happened, a dark cloud of ill health appeared, and Klyn found herself battling the genetic disabling disorder of cystic fibrosis that attacks the lungs. Since that day, Klyn has spent over 70 extended stays in the hospital, and yet she has found ways and will to muster on, seeking to best her best days. She embraced lifetime learning and decided to learn all she could about the physical science, neuroscience, and her love 'sales team management and motivation.' Listen to her powerful story and insights, and her challenges and awakenings. Truly proving that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. She offers a life metaphor of 'choosing your cloud' as you do with the thoughts you allow to wander by and linger in your mind.

Today, Klyn teaches executives and coaches sales teams on topics of mindful leadership, improving their focus and creativity, and re-engaging their teams. She regularly provides keynotes and workshops for EO and Vistage audiences. Her written work has appeared in over 150 publications. Along with her coaching, speaking, and writing, Klyn also serves on the board of directors for Cystic Fibrosis Lifestyle Foundation. This podcast episode conversation adds color to the topics of mindfulness, positive psychology, lifetime learning, and the sheer will to live.
