How many times a day do you talk to yourself? What do you tell yourself? Is it positive, negative doubts? Self-talk is the key to ensuring you can become your best self. We need to share with ourselves how much we care about ourselves. Self Talk is a superpower and it will ensure you become stronger, happier, and a better human. 

I have been hearing from friends and co-workers as of late that they feel like everything around them is spinning out of control and they are lost at times. I believe a lot of that happens to be centered around where they are putting their focus. When we sit and talk more it comes to light that most of their energy is being spent on things that they have no ability to control. Of course, we will feel lost and down when we can't make things change, the key to getting out of this mindset and focus is to turn our intentions into what we can control. Let's talk today about how to know what we can and can't control and how to ensure we put our energy and time into what we can. 

How often are you checking the fuel gauge on yourself? Are you at Full or are you close to Empty? What are things that help ensure you fill your tank up? Let's talk about the importance of knowing where you are and some key things you can do to keep you at Full vs Empty.

How often you put a lot of time and effort into making up your mind that you are going to accomplish a goal you have set? Is your mind really made up? Are you letting your mind focus on the present to accomplish that goal or are you spend most of your time in the past or the future? Let's walk through how to harness the power of a made-up mind and how we can keep our mind in the present and attacking your goal every day. 

In this episode, we will talk through the power of goal setting. We will discuss how we can bring past learnings (gifts) with us into the new year. Goals help ensure you grow and learn and keep you heading with the wind.

Let's dive in and discuss how we can take what we have uncovered during this time and pull it forward with us.

Hope, its something that we all have but at times forget to look for. In difficult times it's very easy to let negativity and fear take you over. Hope is around always, you just have to look for it and then share it with others to allow for it to grow. Let's dig in on hope and learn how we can help embrace it and push the negativity and fear out. 

In this episode, we talk with Mike Scala, CEO of Western Shelter Systems/Crew Boss. Mike shares some excellent insights around what it's like to run a business that helps ensure our first responders have what the need during times of crisis. Mike talks a lot about slowing down and focusing on what you can control now vs what might happen in the future. If you focus too much on what's outside you control you will lose the opportunity to make the impact needed now. He shares how the team was able to pivot quickly to Office 365 and ensure they kept the ability to communicate daily and face to face while ensuring safety.
