ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION

Today is International Women’s Day! Let’s celebrate the women who have made a difference in our lives.   Whether women we know or have known in our personal lives who’ve impacted us … mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmas, friends, employers, employees, co-workers and more. Or women who left a mark in history. Both those we know and celebrate … and the women who made a difference but were unrecognized and uncelebrated. Women who sacrificed much so we could lead full lives and be recognized as equals … as persons … as having value. And to the women around the world, who incredibly, still have to learn in hiding … because girls are not allowed to be educated. Female TV personalities who redefined and elevated daytime t.v. away from ‘my mother slept with my boyfriend who also turned out to be my brother’ to important relevant issues. Or women in politics who’ve paved the path on that uphill mountainous battle. And let’s celebrate the changing tide – the rise of the feminine voice – now is the time – we’ve defined success almost exclusively on the masculine model for too long – and it tipped the world out of balance as both men and women eschewed their feminine seeing it as a liability – that imbalance is not working – it’s time we stop seeing the feminine voice as a liability and instead stepped into the gorgeous power in our innate authenticity. Let’s celebrate women – those who’ve come before us – those who are changing the world now (some in small ways, others on a larger stage and scale) – make sure to include yourself – and those to come. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and share with anyone you think could get some value from this message. And let’s face it, who couldn’t benefit from this approach to life?

When you think of negotiation, what are the first examples that come to mind? If you’re like most people, business transactions will float closest to the surface. Then maybe salary or employment contracts. Few think of their interactions with loved ones as negotiations … and they would be wrong. And fewer still think of their internal dialogue as a negotiation … even though it’s the most important one of all. Negotiating your mindset is your first and paramount negotiation. This episode is dedicated to helping you reframe your preconceived notions of negotiation and help you recognize the necessity of seizing control of your internal negotiations. Whether you’re aware of it or not, you are negotiating with yourself constantly. If you’re not doing so intentionally then it’s happening without your knowledge or conscious input. You get to choose how you show up in life. It may not always feel like it but take comfort in knowing it’s always your choice. How will you choose to show up today? What will you claim as your identity in this moment? What combination of the potentially infinite shades of being will you choose to embody? The gorgeous epiphany I’m offering is that you get to choose the meaning you attach to things. And so, you get to control your emotional reaction and experience of life. In addition to choosing your reactions and controlling your inner chatter, we look at other important examples where negotiating your mindset can up-level your life, including:  Gifts of Gratitude Strength In Service Power of Thoughts Loving Yourself Unconditionally Living Fully Present Choosing the Direction of Your Focus Choosing an Abundance Mindset Getting a New Perspective Let the Universe Inspire You Choosing to Release Worry You Get What You Tolerate Flip Your Story, Flip Your Life Make sure to join our Women on purpose community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Womenonpurposecommunity/

Happy New Years! It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through January already. I don’t know about you, but I confess that when that clock struck midnight, ushering out 2020, some small part of me expected that things would magically change. A new year. A new leaf. A new beginning. I suspect I wasn’t alone. Let’s face it, 2020 was a different year. It left many of us feeling unsettled and uncertain. It’s no surprise that we hoped for better. And yet, so far, it would be easy to see 2021 as bringing more of the same. From rising COVID numbers to sieges on the U.S. Capitol. What if, rather than settling in for another year of uncertainty, you chose to take control of your future? What if you decided to make 2021 your best year ever? Join host, Cindy Watson, as she shares the path for you to design your personal blueprint to step into the best version of yourself. Why not choose today to step up and design your destiny? Instead of focusing on the mundane that keeps you away from your bigger dreams, you can choose to create a blueprint that is meaningful and helps you step into the best version of your life. Instead of letting the uncertainty or negativity overwhelm, you can choose a powerful new future for yourself. And make no mistake … it is a choice. There is much in this world outside our control. This last year reminded us of that in a visceral way. But the beauty of this thing called life is that you can choose how you react, what meaning you attach to your external circumstances and how you’ll show up. You can choose to overcome uncertainty by taking charge of your life. Part 1 of that process is Reflection. Part 2 is where you start to Design Your Destiny Part 3 is Overcoming Obstacles Part 4 is Discovering Your Why Be sure to tune in next week to explore Parts 5 and 6: Productivity and Staying Power Remember to grab your free gift: the Make 2021 Your Best Year ebook at: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/2021  Check out our Purpose Planner at:  If you want your planner sent to the US click this link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1999292308?ref=myi_title_dp  If you want your planner sent to Canada click this link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1999292308?ref=myi_title_dp  Also make sure to join our Women on purpose community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Womenonpurposecommunity/
