Plenty with Kate Northrup

On today’s episode we have our friends Alex Jamieson and Bob Gower joining us to talk about their new book, Getting To Hell Yes. Alex Jamieson is a success mentor and life and health coach to creative professional women who want it all. She’s also the bestselling author of Women, Food, and Desire as well as the co-creator and co-star of the Oscar-nominated documentary, Super Size Me. Bob Gower helps organizations move faster, create better products and become happier, more engaging places to work. He is an authority on agile software development, lean theory and responsive organizational design and he has advised leaders at numerous top companies. Bob is also the author of Agile Business and speaks regularly on organizational development and leadership. The conversation we’re having today is about a framework that Bob and Alex have created together called, “ICBD” (which stands for Intentions, Concerns, Boundaries and Dreams or Desires). This framework is used for having difficult or high stakes conversations, and it’s something we’ve already tried in our own lives. You’re going to hear how it can be used in conversations with your children, in your marriage, community work, business and more!

We have a wonderful conversation for you today with our friend Sarah Jenks, who is a life coach, emotional eating expert and sacred space holder. She’s also the proprietress of Hawthorn Farm, a 23-acre farm and retreat center in Medfield, Massachusetts. Sarah is the founder of Whole Woman, an online membership program for women seeking the answers to the questions, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” She also started Live More Weight Less, the most popular online emotional eating program that helped almost 100,000 people since 2009. In this episode Sarah shares how she manifested her dream house (a story which we play a part in), how her business has evolved over the past few years and the challenging times when she was the breadwinner in her family, while having two small children. Sarah has reclaimed motherhood on her own terms and is helping others do the same, and her story is an inspiring one. Would you, or a company you know, be a good fit to sponsor The Kate & Mike Show?

This is a special in-between episode from me, Kate, and it’s about copy. Writing copy is one of the thing things I like to do most in my business, but I almost never talk about it. The two people I have learned the most from about copywriting are Marie Forleo and Laura Belgray, and they’ve put together a free class called 5 Writing Mistakes That Are Killing Your Sales and How to Fix Them. In this class you’ll learn how to be yourself in your writing, overcome writer’s block and organize your thoughts. You’re going to learn how to write words that drive your sales 24/7, how to write faster and with more joy and ease, and save yourself years of trial and error and thousands of dollars on expensive copywriters and lost sales! Learning how to write copy dramatically increased the revenue generated in my business, and it’s the single most important skill that I have ever learned in business. You can reserve your seat for this free class at http://katenorthrup.com/copy, take action and start seeing dramatic results!
