It’s more important now than ever for us to come together.Connecting as people, we have to learn to communicate with others who have differing beliefs and opinions, without an agenda to persuade or convince that we are “in the right”.What if we led with compassion and kindness?Today I’m sharing with you 4 principals I’ve learned that have helped me show up and connect with others through challenging times.  While these may be common sense, they are often not practiced, especially when it comes to communication in our virtual world.Assume good intent.Listen to understand and connect. Follow the golden rule Ask yourself “What opportunity does this create?”May these simple, yet powerful principals remind us to lead with compassion.EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode30/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.

Think back to an interaction you had with someone this last week that didn’t go as well as you’d hoped for.  Maybe your kiddo left their legos on the hallway floor (again) and you lost your cool. You and your partner fought about money,  your VA missed a date on an email campaign or a customer gave you some tough feedback.Whatever the conversation, there’s a high chance that you didn’t show up in those moments as the best version of yourself and there are things you could have done differently.You can’t change the past, but of course, you can learn from it.Connection with others is the richness to our lives and business, so today I’m giving you some tools to help you show up in these critical conversations with more intentionality so that you can nurture the relationships that matter most.I’ll introduce to you my framework for snapping out of the trance of the daily autopilot to engage in richer, more aligned experiences with others: my Intentional Communication Model.Additionally, I’ll share with you 4 power questions I use daily during my “Daily 10”. Each morning as I plan my day, I spend ten essential minutes focusing on the people I’ll engage with that day and how I can show up with purpose:Who needs me at my best today?Who am I interacting with today? And do I want to show up for these interactions?What might get in my way?What’s my “get back in the game” plan?EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode29/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.

When it comes to business (and life), the question we should continually be asking ourselves is:Where am I going and how am I growing?Now, I’m not shy about talking about how important personal development is to your business and I highly encourage my students and clients to invest in their development by attending live events. To give you a little taste of just how transformational these experiences can be, I’m sharing about my experience at Brendon Burchard’s live event, HPX (High Performance Experience). Specifically, the 7 insights that resonated most with me that I think will do the same for you.Going through the motions is the death of high performance.Evaluate your practice is not your personhood. People at the highest level strategically release (let it go).It doesn't matter how many people say no to you, as long as you say yes to yourself.A person's gratitude for life is most demonstrated in their time at management.Bring the joy: get yourself feeling so good that other people can't knock it out of you.Honor the struggle.EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇➡️ https://heathersager.com/episode28/Send us a textSupport the show🔗 Grab the latest FREE resources: https://heathersager.com/start 🔗 Browse all episode shownotes: https://heathersager.com/blog 📣 The Signature Talk Accelerator starts September 8 → click here to get on the waitlist.
