Coach Business

"The thing wasn't the thing at all. The process was EVERYTHING." When you've been in business a long time, you try a lot of things. You fail at a lot of things. And, you succeed at a lot of things as well. Earlier on in my career, I wrote a book. I hustled and did all this stuff that nearly killed me to get it out in the world. But, I did it. I figured it out and I pulled it off. It was a best-seller in its category. Last year, I felt it tugging at me to put it to bed. It no longer felt like me and my work. So, I removed it from Amazon. I took it away and I don't think you can get it (in any version) anywhere anymore. It was over, just like that. I'm still so proud of it and everything it taught me! But, it didn't fit anymore so I stopped dragging it around. I felt like this was an important thing to share because so much in this business we see the crescendo of everything - getting bigger, louder, better, more, more, more. But, sometimes, there is also a de-crescendo, where things get quieter and less important. I love when things are done. I love starts and ends. So, I'm curious... For you, is there anything tugging at you? Anything asking to go to bed or be done? Because it's okay. It's okay to just be done with stuff. It's okay to quiet things down. I'd love to know, what's ending? And, why is that perfect for you? Only you get to decide.  Tag me or DM me on IG and let me know. ----- Do you have some things you want to accomplish this year?

What if work was nourishing and energizing - a place where humans were not resources and people genuinely loved being there? That's the shift we're making.  And, if you cannot get on board with that, then your company/your business becomes obsolete because the change IS happening. In this episode, I talk to Organizational Health and Teamwork Specialist, Faith Clarke about building spaces where people feel like they can thrive.  We get into: - This idea of the "traditional workplace". For who? And, for what? What are we keeping alive that maybe doesn't serve anybody anymore? - Managing ourselves to create safety and trust. The ability to have a conversation and manage my own responses (to my not knowing/lack of understanding of what someone else needs and is going through). - Restorative work vs scaling. What's the difference and why does it matter? - Human-centered work. What do we believe about people and how certain people can be treated? "Every cycle of disruption creates something new. And, I think, we are living in a cycle of disruption right now - where people are acknowledging that they can be different from the people around them, things can be different... And, they are going to pursue spaces where they're honored.  All of us, together, can create more of what's needed." - Faith Clarke ----- To find out more about Faith, visit faithclarke.com.

"Launching is a start date and an end date, where you offer something in the middle. It's a specific set of days where you sell something - that's it." There can be a lot of drama around launching. And, a lot of us throw ourselves under our own bus and make it really hard on ourselves when we're launching.  It doesn't have to be that way. It can. But, it doesn't have to. Listen in for some helpful tips on mindset and setting yourself up for success. ----- If you've ever had the thought "Caryn might be the coach for me" you're probably right AND I'm currently enrolling for my next round of small group coaching. 5 people max, we go deep, it's fun and we start this week!

https://caryngillen.lpages.co/lead-your-profit/ Who doesn't want MORE JOY, authenticity, power and influence in their life and business? Today, we're talking to joy extractor and amplifier, Simone Grace Seol. Simone is creating a revolution in how life coaches market online--teaching them how to get fully booked by putting love first, leaning into their messy genius, and not being afraid to get a little weird. Simone says, "when you're in your joy, you're inviting others to connect with you in your most powerful state." We are all drawn to joy, it's infectious. This conversation is about: - what joy is - how to lean into it - undoing the layers of societal expectations - how to be courageous on purpose - the intersection of motherhood and work ...and more! You will feel more joyful just hearing Simone talk about joy and why it's so important.  Today's challenge (after you listen to the episode): Think about the next courageous decision you need to make to create space for more joy in your life--more spaciousness, more boredom, more creativity, more play. What if you just made the decision right now that you're going to allow for that to happen?  I don't know about you but I want to live in a world where we're making decisions that feel like we're a little bit on fire. ;) DM or tag us on Instagram with your takeaways from this episode (@caryngillen and @simone.grace.seol). ----- You can learn more about Simone and her work at simonegraceseol.com. ----- What are you here to do this year?

Your personal style is the first clue you give to the world about who you are.  "You can't exactly opt out of sending a message with what you're wearing. So, that is often people's first experience of your business or your brand. The fun part is to control that message and put your best foot forward." Today on the podcast, I am joined by Personal Stylist, Estelle Winsett who loves helping women find their unique power through style. "People have in their minds that in order to look professional they have to be uncomfortable - that's not true." In this episode, we talk about: - Questions you can ask yourself to hone in on your style - The benefit of Color Analysis - The one thing you should do right now to bring more harmony to your closet "Getting dressed is often the first thing we do in the morning and it can set the tone for our whole day." It's worth being intentional about. Listen in for some great tips on how to stand in your power and curate a wardrobe that reflects who you are. (There are also some extras on clothing care at the end.) To find out more about Estelle visit estellewinsett.com.

"Direct your money towards the things that you care about - no matter how much you have. Start where you're at, with what you've got, and practice working that muscle now." - Sarah DeLuca Today on the podcast, I am joined by money and philanthropy coach, Sarah DeLuca. We discuss: - how to make sure your money is aligned with your values - why it's important to talk about money - financial safety nets - aligned investing - future planning and more. She reminds us to ask ourselves: "What do I need to feel sustainable and abundant?" Also, to know that’s going to change over time. It’s not set in stone so it's worth revisiting every so often.  And, she encourages us to remember that "money is fluid. It flows like water." If it is just sitting there (not doing anything) it can get stagnant and diseased.  Money is powerful when it moves, especially when it's helping create the kind of world you want to live in and pass on to future generations. This episode is a great check-in with yourself to determine: - What creates safety? - What creates freedom? - Where are my values represented in how I spend and invest my money?
