Tap into the Potency of Not Knowing

What you don’t know is bigger than you. ~Epic Leadership Journeys

The ‘Unknown’ is a place of mystery, creation, and infinite possibilities. Being uncomfortable with not knowing is a natural human response. Yet when you stand in the mystery of the ‘Unknown’ and just allow yourself to imagine what could be possible, your Inner Knowing activates. Notice what your Inner Knowing—instincts and intuition—reveal to you when you ask these 3 questions about your particular challenge, situation, or concern.

  • What could be possible that I’m not seeing or sensing?

  • What could be an outcome even better than I desire?

  • What best possible outcome am I ready to receive?

7 Types of Rest Every Leader Needs

Just because what you’ve been waiting for has not shown up the way you thought it would doesn’t mean it hasn’t arrived. ~Epic Leadership Journeys

Perhaps you’re too tired to see or recognize new possibilities appearing before you. If so, which of the 7 types of rest do you need to receive? Notice the difference when you give all 7 to yourself.

The Impact of Epic Change on Inclusive Women Leaders

You’re busy with work and life, yet feel scattered and “all over the place.”

You’re dealing with sudden rapid change and feel like you can’t get your footing.

You’re seeking a ‘new normal' while feeling anxious, uncertain and depleted.

You need to free up space for mental and emotional clarity, discerning focus, and imaginative creative thinking.

Your concerns about results cause you to doubt and second-guess yourself—not fully trusting your decisions and communications, or your years of hard-won experience and expertise.

In the back of your mind you harbor a growing sense of alarm because it seems you are not doing enough, or need to be doing things differently and better.

You’re searching for practical insights and empowering perspectives to reframe and liberate your epic leadership in these distressingly challenging times.

Innovative approaches and inspired visionary solutions keep eluding your grasp.

This is because the impact of epic change on you is significant. And… You are not alone.

As a leader you are dealing with complicated challenges present in the illusive epic change of these times.

You can’t navigate this epic change, its challenges, and unknown territory ahead unless ‘your come from’ is Epic.

Simply the Best Coaching helps you move into the Epic Expansion these times require of your leadership.

Resilence in the Rubble

When So Much Seems Lost

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

On a memorable trip to Nepal I witnessed the results of resilience in the people of this small country with 8 of the 14 highest peaks on Planet Earth. Their resilience seems to be grounded in their way of responding to changes in their natural environment rather than just reacting.

In 2015 a deadly earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 stuck Nepal, killing nearly 9,000 people and injuring almost 22,000 in Nepal. This earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing 21 and making April 25, 2015 the deadliest day on the mountain in history.

Hundreds of thousands of Nepalese suddenly were homeless. Entire villiages were flattened. Centuries-old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In response to this devastating destruction Nepalese leaders wisely tapped into the natural strength of a people whose nation includes 25 different ethnic groups. That strength is their Resilience.

Past and current generations of Nepalese view the earth as a place where nothing is permanent. In the aftermath of the quake Nepalese resilience expressed itself in rebuilding, repairing and restoring what had been destroyed or damaged.

Wisely, leaders tapped into this strength of the Nepalese people to coalesce their individual and collective efforts into a national focus and way of engaging: “Resilience in the Rubble.”

3 years later the Nepalese continue to labor diligently in the repair and restoration of brick and wooden homes, temples, palaces and other buildings. For them “Resilience in the Rubble” is more than a shared endeavor. The Nepalese embody resilience as a natural way of being — fortifying them for more hard work still to be done.

The quiet diligence evident in this inclusive culture shows us that human resilience can lead to positive responses when we experience sudden, exceedingly destructive, and tragic events along with formidable disruptive challenges. The question is…

In the midst of devastation what gives you the strength to be resilient — responding instead of just reacting — in life, leadership and business?

Are Your Expectations Blowing You Off Course?

Navigating other people's expectations can be challenging. Patience and persistence in clarifying exactly what another person's expectations are and reaching mutual agreement about them takes focus, effort, and often serious communication skills. Yet like most leadership and business best practices, ultimately your success depends on how well you understand the true nature of your own expectations.

Knowing the needs your expectations are attempting to meet can keep you from being blown off course by your own hidden agendas. So as I share in the audio below, give yourself some space and time to...
