REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches

When it comes to professional speaking, there's no shame in busting your signature move!  Knowing your personality style can be so helpful in leveraging opportunities to effectively market your services as a professional speaker and allows you to show up and stay true to your most authentic self! On this week's episode, Certified Speaking Professional, my fellow Mastermind member, and special guest, Kent Julian joins us to share some great wisdom on engaging your personality to get Paid to Speak.  Pull up a chair and listen in as Kent shares: How both the DiSC and Enneagram profiles have served him well in his journey as a speaker The power of picking up on natural personality tendencies of key decision-makers The importance of listening from the perspective of other's personality rather than your own style How understanding personality style increased communication with kids and parents as he served as a Youth Minister and champion Swim Coach Unique insights on how to get Paid to Speak Personality profiles can be more than "shelf help" as Kent says when we apply their whole self wisdom to the grooves of our everyday, ordinary REALIFE!  Visit https://paidtospeakpodcast.com/9ways to download your FREE Resource on Nine ways to Get Paid to Speak!  Check out Kent's brand new podcast "Paid to Speak with Kent Julian" on your favorite podcast platform.  Meet Kent Julian Kent Julian is a lot of things... family man, champion swim coach, Certified Professional Speaker, fish taco lover, and proud bald guy. Yet, this hasn’t always been the case. Kent started out as an at-risk child with severe learning challenges and SAT scores so low that he had to take Development Studies just to get into college—on probation. From these humble beginnings, Kent went on to become the Executive Director of a national youth association in order to help teenagers just like him. Then, after 20 years in non-profit work, he did something crazy... he launched two successful businesses. Along the way, Kent realized that the successes he experienced were never “his successes.” Each accomplishment came about because of the teams he was privileged to lead. Whether working with millennial students, coaching championship swim teams, or leading his own businesses, success was the result of committed, engaged teams. Now, with his expertise in leadership and employee engagement, he is privileged to speak, write, and consult leaders and teams all over the country on what it takes to create what he calls “DREAM-to-DO” culture. You can find his work online in places like Entrepreneur.com, Success.com, GoodMenProject.com and more. To find out more, visit KentJulian.com.

What would you give to be able to show up in the present moment more authentically?  It's likely that you've been there–right in the middle of a moment that triggers a past memory. Your natural instinct kicks in and takes over and before you know it you've said or done something you regret or shrink back in fear to avoid the conflict.  Either way, as you reflect on the moment and begin to realize the adaptive behaviors that took over as you reacted automatically, you wish you had responded differently in the midst of the moment.  This week's episode is all about responding "N.O.W." to the present moment. We'll unpack a simple practical application you can use right in the middle of extraordinary moments and even the ones that catch you off guard to help you check in with all 3 Centers of Intelligence rather than operating on autopilot out of only one center!  The more you practice applying "N.O.W."  the more quickly your reaction will change to a FULL CIRCLE response!  REALIFE Action: Join the FREE REALIFE Tribe on Facebook and post a picture of your N.O.W. practice reminder to share with the tribe!  If you're interested in experiencing the FULL CIRCLE harmony of the Enneagram and the wholeness and healing it invites you to: Download our FREE REALIFE Enneagram Typing Guide If you're enjoying the podcast content and feeling generous, we'd be grateful if you share the podcast with a friend or write a review on your preferred platform.  Looking to learn about our upcoming REALIFE Process® Retreats?  Click here to connect with the REALIFE Process® and learn how we can work together!   Connect with your host, Teresa McCloy on: Facebook- Teresa McCloy Coaching Instagram- teresa.mccloy LinkedIn- teresamccloycoach About Teresa McCloy: Teresa McCloy is the creator of the REALIFE Process®, an ACC Executive Coach, and an IEA Accredited Enneagram Professional who helps entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders discover and live out their best REALIFE!

"In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes– How do you measure a year in the life?" -Seasons of Love by Donny Osmond Many times for a Type 3 on the Enneagram, life is seen through the lens of success or failure–and I confess, it's often how we measure the seasons of our lives.  This week on the podcast, my good friend and fellow Eaglepreneur Mastermind Member, Winston Faircloth joins me to share about the four major seasons of his life. Winston's journey includes time in the not-for-profit space, a season as a budding entrepreneur that moved him into equipping entrepreneurs and consulting, to supporting and leading multiple million-dollar organizations. Through the seasons of success and even what feels like the failures of life, Winston has grown to embrace that "All of our life experiences–good or bad–equip us for what's next."  Today, Winston Faircloth helps Future 7 Figure CEOs align, grow and scale the businesses of their dreams, leveraging their lifetime of experience so they can step into the life God has uniquely designed for them. As a business strategist and mentor, Winston's mission is to share lessons from his three decades of leading multi-million dollar organizations, including drawing upon the contrasts between two previous businesses he founded to guide and inspire others to take a new path and reinforce new mindsets.  On this episode Winston shares:  Insights into the Seasons of Life and the power of discovering patterns Leveraging successes and failures as lessons to be curious about what is possible in the next season What a Type 3 can have in common with a chameleon in their adaptive behaviors The one piece of advice that served as the best gift he was given moving into 2020 How the Enneagram Harmony mantra Release–Relax–Receive has brought his story FULL CIRCLE His unique principle called the "Value Paradox" Connect with Winston: www.Future7FigureCEO.com www.winstonfaircloth.com CLICK HERE to download your FREE e-book "7 Lessons from Building a 7 Figure Business" Listen to the Begin Again Podcast REALIFE Resources Complementary Enneagram in Your REALIFE Episodes featuring my Eaglepreneur Mastermind Members: 012: Entrepreneurial Lifestyle with the Tool of the Enneagram featuring guests, Jamie & Ruthie Slingerland 023: A Conversation with Dan Miller – Author of 48 Days to the Work you Love 027: A Conversation with Chris, Jamie, Michael and Chris from the Entrepreneurial Family Man 052: Victoria Mininger - Embracing the Holidays When Christmas Feels Blue 059: Kim Avery – Writing to Serve, The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur I was also honored to be a guest on fellow Mastermind Member, Roger Whitney's Podcast–The Retirement Answer Man: #286 Whooooo Are You?

How could your Enneagram type benefit from going on retreat? Each Enneagram type has a way of "seeing" the world and therefore approaches experiences, like retreat, in a unique way!  Often, our authentic self gets overtaken by our adaptive behaviors. It happens slowly and we wonder why we are so tired, short-tempered, depressed or hyper-vigilant. Going on retreat is about getting out of the normal patterns of our human behavior. On retreat, we're invited to break free from our minds being full of the everyday, ordinary tasks, as well as striving to be enough, do enough, or have enough. Retreat days allow us time to recalibrate back to center. In this episode, we'll journey with each of the nine Enneagram types and see the Full Circle benefits of leaning into this REALIFE rhythm of retreat!

Culture teaches us to push, push, push! While productivity and work are important parts of our whole REALIFE, if we don't learn to come away for a while we end up living a very reactionary life with our hair on fire!  Author Dallas Willard says, "If you don't come apart for a while, you will come apart after a while." While each Enneagram type approaches retreat differently, and we'll talk about that more on next week's episode, for each type there is Full Circle wholeness and living that comes when we're willing to pause and step away from our regular everyday, ordinary lives.  On this episode, we'll explore: Why is retreat necessary?  What should I consider in structuring a retreat? How could developing a rhythm of retreat be a factor in living more sustainably?  As you listen in to Episode 057 consider...what would it be worth for me to step away and pause to retreat and take a 30,000-foot view of my life and my business and what will it cost me if I never come apart from it all?  REALIFE Resources from this Episode: Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation by Ruth Haley Barton 12 Week Year by Brian Moran & Michael Lennington If you're ready to come away for 48 hours on retreat, join us at the REALIFE Process®, February 21-23, on the farm in Mason, IL for our first foundational retreat of the year.

Words are powerful! For the past four years, I've chosen a Word for the Year. Choosing ONE WORD to focus on every day, all year long takes intentionality and commitment. The word may sum up who you want to be or how you want to live–and beyond shaping your year, it can truly help to shape you into your best REALSELF.  Most years, my word has come fairly quickly or easily, but coming into this new year and decade, I struggled to find my word! To be honest, I was a little frustrated!  However, just last week a friend said a word aloud and it hit me like a ton of bricks! I knew the word was just for me!  I'm not certain all that my word will mean this year, but I'm embracing it FULL CIRCLE!  On this episode:  I’ll share my Word for the Year We’ll talk about how choosing a word can set your intention for the year I’ll share a REALIFE example of how integrating the Word for the Year with the Harmony Enneagram can help you show up as your most authentic self So what about you? What is your Word for the Year? I would love to hear. If you're not quite sure about your Word for the Year, click here to download our FREE Word for the Year 2020 Exercise.  Once you have your word, I'd love for you to email me at podcast@teresamccloy.com and share your Word for the Year and a little bit about why you chose the word or how the word chose you!  REALIFE Resources Mentioned on the Show: 022: REALIFE Enneagram - Enneagram Harmony Stances As one way of living out the word congruency in an authentic way, the REALIFE Process® is creating intentional spaces for face to face community and support for entrepreneurs, business owners and growth-minded leaders through our REALIFE Process® Retreats.

Merry Christmas! As you're unwrapping presents and celebrating this week, there's one last gift just for you... This edition of the Enneagram in Your REALIFE is a special one with a story and a song. As a Type 3 on the Enneagram, I connect with the 3-6-9 Harmony Triad. I also have a very strong Type 4 wing which invites me to be creative and original.  From a very young age, I've loved to write music. As I've come to embrace the Enneagram as a tool for harmony and transformation, I learned how songwriting really invites me to be present in all three centers of intelligence as it engages: The body movement of writing the song The intellect of the words and lyrics coming together The expression of the heart This Christmas, I wanted to give you a FULL CIRCLE gift–one that's transparent, vulnerable, and straight from my heart to yours. May your Christmas be full of extraordinary moments!  REALIFE Resources: As we move into 2020, the REALIFE Process® is creating intentional spaces for authentic community and support for entrepreneurs, business owners and growth-minded leaders through our REALIFE Retreats.
