ART of Feminine NEGOTIATION

How often do you apologize in a typical day? Women tend to apologize often – and definitely more often than men. Apologizing typically doesn’t serve you. It can become a disempowering habit that undermines your credibility, confidence and self-esteem. As children, we’re taught that apologizing is polite and expected. Maybe it’s time to recognize that pre-emptive apologizing no longer serves you and acknowledge that it’s time to let it go. What if you turned that habit on its head? What if you decided that you were entitled to want things without guilt or fear of judgement? That you’re entitled to have a voice, be heard, and take up space without asking to be excused for it? What if, today, you decided that you’re entitled to negotiate your life on your terms?   In this episode, Cindy points out the many ways we apologize without thought and the negative impact of this excessive apologizing. She challenges you to go on a personal apology fast, stop saying sorry and re-training yourself to find more empowering ways to communicate.    CONNECT WITH CINDY: Website: www.womenonpurpose.ca Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/womenonpurposecommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenonpurposecoaching/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thecindywatson Show: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/media/podcast-2/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/womenonpurpose1 YouTube: http://bit.ly/WomenonPurposeYT Email:  cindy@womenonpurpose.ca   Schedule an appointment with Cindy- https://calendly.com/cwatson-3/60min  

In this episode, Cindy and Marta discuss: How a photography session can help you get your confidence back.  The power of a boudoir photography session. Moving past living with a psychological emergency break. How to gain confidence in your own body. Buying and wearing lingerie for you.   Key Takeaways: Step outside your comfort zone. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. When you look in the mirror, appreciate what is good about yourself.  We need to learn to love what we have. Upgrading our bodies, our houses, our cars, whatever it is, will not make us happier.  The image you see in the mirror is not what other people see.    "We are so blind to what is beautiful and right with us." —  Marta Perales  Connect with Marta Perales:Twitter: Facebook: Magnificent FemmeInstagram: @magnificentfemmeWebsite: MagnificentFemme.com Go to Marta’s website to find out more about her 40 over 40 campaign and her upcoming courses!    Get your free Woman on Purpose Blueprint E-Book- How to find your true purpose and become a woman who lives fully, on purpose, every day CONNECT WITH CINDY: Website: www.womenonpurpose.ca Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/womenonpurposecommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenonpurposecoaching/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thecindywatson Show: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/media/podcast-2/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/womenonpurpose1 YouTube: http://bit.ly/WomenonPurposeYT Email:  cindy@womenonpurpose.ca   Schedule an appointment with Cindy- https://calendly.com/cwatson-3/60min

Stepping into your feminine power with confidence and embracing your value.  Living with a mindset of service.   Key Takeaways: Happiness comes from alignment to your core purpose, not to your path. Women loving and supporting women is going to have profound effects on the world.  Allow the confidence/competence loop work in your favor.

In this episode, Cindy and Traci discuss: Priming people for negotiation before you meet with them.  True win-win scenarios and finding them in enlightened fashions. The power of the pen.  Types of questions and utilizing them strategically.    Key Takeaways: Negotiations are more powerful face-to-face than over the phone.  Take notes during a negotiation - it creates a level of rapport and makes you more likeable.  The questions are always the answer in any negotiation.  Using the right language, such as “I’m curious…” can change the dynamic of the negotiation.     "The person with the most clarity is going to win the negotiation because they know more about what they can pretend is important, but really isn’t." —  Traci Lewis  Connect with Traci Lewis: Twitter: @TraciGeroFacebook: Traci Lewis Coaching & Traci Gero Lewis & Explode Your CareerInstagram: @tracilewis.realtorWebsite: explodeyourcareer.com & TraciLewisCoaching.comYouTube: eXplode Your Real Estate CareerLinkedIn: Traci Lewis Click here to get your free E-Book "No F.E.A.R.

In this episode, Cindy and Trina discuss: How consulting gives you freedom that other fields may not. Seeing your strengths in your past hurdles. The strengths in having a Power 2 Hours. Increasing your efficiency.    Key Takeaways: If you have any skills, talent, or experience, you have something to offer. Give yourself a boundary. Pick your window that is your “Power 2 Hours” and you will get everything else you need done anyway.  Be protective of your two hour window (or 2 separate hours if that works better with your schedule). Set timers and be strict with that. Always keep growing as an entrepreneur.     "If we're not using our time efficiently, we're draining our energy. We're not getting to spend time with the people we love. And I guarantee you, when you set a timer to this, you will get more done in a Power 2 Hours, than you probably are in 10 hours a day." —  Trina Gunzel  Connect with Trina Gunzel: Website: GunzelFamilyBrands.com Click here to order your Purpose Planner a planner designed by women, for women.

In this episode, Cindy and Tricia discuss: How to differentiate between physical and emotional hunger.  The hidden cases of emotional eating and how to heal and deal with obsessive food thoughts.  Ways to manage stress before it drives you to the kitchen. The PEP test and ways we use food.   Key Takeaways: Emotional eating is a spectrum, but essentially everyone is an emotional eater in some fashion.  We are in the driver’s seat. We don’t have to people please; we can make new choices. Overeaters are overdoers. There is a connection between how we are living and how we are eating. Start your day centered and grounded. If you do that, you will make better, self-care decisions throughout the day.  It is not about the food and it is not about the weight. The compulsion comes from a deeper place.    "Overweight is a symptom of overeating. Overeating is a symptom of what is eating me. It’s the what’s eating me that needs to be addressed." —  Tricia Nelson  Connect with Tricia Nelson: Book: Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now Facebook: Heal Your Hunger Facebook Group: The Secret Sauce to End Emotional EatingInstagram: @healyourhungerWebsite: HealYourHunger.comPodcast: Heal Your Hunger with Tricia NelsonEmotional Eating Quiz: HealYourHunger.com/QuizLinkedIn: Tricia NelsonEmotional Eating Breakthrough Session: HealYourHunger.com/Apply Quit Sugar Challenge: QuitSugarChallenge.com   Get your free Woman on Purpose Blueprint E-Book- How to find your true purpose and become a woman who lives fully, on purpose, every day CONNECT WITH CINDY: Website: www.womenonpurpose.caFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/womenonpurposecommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenonpurposecoaching/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thecindywatson Show: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/media/podcast-2/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/womenonpurpose1 YouTube: http://bit.ly/WomenonPurposeYT Email:  cindy@womenonpurpose.ca   Schedule an appointment with Cindy- https://calendly.com/cwatson-3/60min

In this episode, Cindy and Robert discuss: What it means to be a manifestation business coach. Replacing the word want with another phrase to shift into attention and what you control. Aligning with your inner truth to live your dream life. Identifying your 20% with your deep why in focus.   Key Takeaways: When you connect with your inner truth, that is the most fulfilling and safest place to be. You don’t get what you want, you get what you have. You cannot tune into the frequency of what you desire if you don’t have it. Identify the 20% that you have to do to get things done. Focus on those. Restrict the time you have to accomplish it and it will get done. To know, and not to do, is not to know.   "We are creators. We can create. You’re not subject just to the game, the environment, and the system that is set up for you." —  Robert  Connect with Robert Brown:Facebook: Facebook.com/RetireWithRBWebsite: The4DayDifference.com Get your complimentary Manifest Session with Robert at Manifest.RetireWithRB.com   Get your free Woman on Purpose Blueprint E-Book- How to find your true purpose and become a woman who lives fully, on purpose, every day CONNECT WITH CINDY: Website: www.womenonpurpose.ca Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/womenonpurposecommunity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenonpurposecoaching/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thecindywatson Show: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/media/podcast-2/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/womenonpurpose1 YouTube: http://bit.ly/WomenonPurposeYT Email:  cindy@womenonpurpose.ca   Schedule an appointment with Cindy- https://calendly.com/cwatson-3/60min

You set intentions to overcome bad habits using the same style of incantation that helps you to fulfill your goals addressing each of your needs. Certainty is the number one need of all human beings.

In this episode, Cindy and Robin discuss: Natural solutions for staying healthy in life, and especially in these different times. The hormone deal breakers that throw off your immune system.  The power of having an attitude of gratitude and ways to cultivate that attitude every single day. Clearing toxins, of all kinds, from your life.   Key Takeaways: You can grow younger no matter what your age.  This is the time for us to take our health really seriously.  You can’t control the thoughts that come into your life, but you can choose what you do with it - turn the negative thoughts into positive thoughts intentionally. What you eat, how you eat, and when you eat is very important.  You have permission to sleep! Over 7 hours is immuno-protective, but over 8 is really what your body needs to support your health.    "Start managing your stressors, start prioritizing things that are important for you, and start cutting things out of your life that don’t serve you because they are stressing you out. They are imbalancing cortisol and insulin, those two major hormones that really dictate how we show up and how our body functions." —  Robin Nielsen  Connect with Robin Nielsen:Twitter: @Insulite Health PCOS Facebook: Robin Nielsen & Insulite PCOS  Facebook Group: Natural Solutions for Hormone Balance Sisterhood Instagram: @robinanielsenWebsite: PCOS.com Join Robin’s Facebook Group to get her Top 10 Tips for Boosting Your Immune System!

In this episode, Cindy and Karen discuss: The evolution in the treatment of mental health and the increase in mental health issues with the new generations. Dr. Cassiday’s studies in positive psychology and how it is coloring how she is handling wellness during this unusual time we are living in. Characteristics of a resilient person and what it means to be a resilient person. What good humor is and developing it within ourselves.  Ways to boost our own and others mental health with just the little things.    Key Takeaways: Uncertainty is highly unlikely to trigger worry. How you handle uncertainty is the real enemy, not the situation itself.  Start digging out the present moment problem. You will feel empowered, not overwhelmed.  There are moments of beauty every single day, even when we are in a hard situation. Tracking daily gratitude every day, just three things each day, and you can help to strengthen your mental health and even decrease depression. Track and share the funny things in your day - celebrate the moments of absurdity and joy and laughter.     "Hope is what happens when you believe that there’s a better future, and that you’re the one to get there, even if you don’t know how to do it right now. That you have the ability to learn on the job, so to speak." —  Dr. Karen Cassiday  Connect with Dr. Karen Cassiday:Twitter: @DrKarenCassidayFacebook Group: Moms Without Worry Community Website: MomsWithoutWorry.comLinkedIn: Dr. Karen Lynn Cassiday  TedxTalk: Imperfect Fear: Why Parenting Doesn’t Need a Handbook Get your free Woman on Purpose Blueprint E-Book- How to find your true purpose and become a woman who lives fully, on purpose, every day   CONNECT WITH CINDY: Website: www.womenonpurpose.ca Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/womenonpurposecommunity/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womenonpurposecoaching/  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thecindywatson  Show: https://www.womenonpurpose.ca/media/podcast-2/  Twitter:  https://twitter.com/womenonpurpose1  YouTube: http://bit.ly/WomenonPurposeYT  Email:  cindy@womenonpurpose.ca   Schedule an appointment with Cindy- https://calendly.com/cwatson-3/60min
