Building BRAVING Trust

Building BRAVING Trust

“Sometimes speaking the truth feels like we are being unkind, especially when sharing difficult information or feedback.  But in reality, dancing around the truth is unkind.  When we avoid stating the truth, when we are vague or ambiguous under the guise of being kind, it is often because we are trying to lessen the discomfort for ourselves, not for the other person.”  – Brené Brown, Dare to Lead   […]

I was honored to present at Western Dairyland Community Action Agency in service staff day! 

I shared how to Overcome Stress & Find Balance by breaking up with the busy badge and spending more time on our highest priorities.

A topic we can always use a reminder on, wouldn’t you agree?😅
Friendly reminder: you don't have to hustle for yo Friendly reminder: you don't have to hustle for your worth. 

You can take breaks, you can be mindful, you can find balance and still be successful.

Work hard but don’t forget to take care of yourself! Happy Friday!
It has been a packed couple of weeks, to say the l It has been a packed couple of weeks, to say the least! But so much fun!

First, I attended the annual Polka Dot Powerhouse Celebration conference in Denver, CO. It was an incredible few days of hearing from speakers, catching up with friends from across the country and getting inspired about all things business and life!

Then I also facilitated an all staff training with one of our clients, Northwestern Bank. And to top it all off, I spent the day at the Women's Business Conference and led a speed networking event.

Like I said, it was a packed week but it's truly what I love doing - networking, spending time with other entrepreneurs, and getting to work with awesome clients🤩🤩
It is officially fall, y'all! As busy as fall can It is officially fall, y'all!

As busy as fall can be, it is also an exciting time. It's the chance to start fresh and recommit after a bit of much-needed relaxation over the summer. 

Even though it feels like the start of something new, it’s also the home stretch.

It’s hard to keep the momentum going after 9 months! Does anyone remember their 2022 New Year’s Resolutions? If so, you deserve a gold star.

I appreciate this time of year because it feels less of ‘well, it’s quarter four. What can we really accomplish before the end of the year?' and more of ‘Hello, Fall! New goals, new energy. We’re ready to finish strong!’

Do you agree?

What are you excited to recommit to for fall? Maybe it's a morning routine you let go of during the summer, or a professional goal you're ready to get back on track with. 

Whatever it is, now is the perfect time to set an intention and finish the year strong!
The 19th Annual Women's Business Conference is com The 19th Annual Women's Business Conference is coming up next month! We're excited to be hosting a speed networking event at this year's conference and volunteering all day.
 
Will we see you there??
