Sarah Hodges is a certified coach, speaker, and creator of the A+ Method™️ for Sustainable Solutions. The powerful A+ Method™️ helps clients 'get out of their own way' to excel in business and thrive in life.
Sarah's passion for personal growth began after she struggled with obesity and depression as a professional musician and opera singer. After losing 90 pounds and transforming her own life, which was filled with struggles and transitions, she sought out extensive education in the science of behavior change. In the several years since, she has helped thousands of people make positive changes in their lives and careers from the inside-out.
In this episode, Sarah discusses several key issues, such as:
· When using social media, it is most important to be authentic in your connection, don’t try to be someone you are not
· If a friend lost a job, some thoughts to support them include:
o It is ok to give yourself space to grieve
o Make sure you give yourself compassion and kindness
o Remember, transition is a normal part of life in today’s world
· Progress is not only measured by external items (e.g. performance reviews, promotions, compensation) but also internal things (e.g. happiness, stress levels, energy)
· Volunteer work not only helps you network, it gives you a sense of purpose and gratitude
· Find the culture that fits you, don’t you try to fit the culture
This is just a few of the ideas and coaching Sarah provided. Remember, if you are in transition or you know of someone that is, be kind, listen or share this recording, it maybe just what is needed for that day.
Thank you.
