Ep. 45 Resourcing Your Energy with Shelley Smartly
00:43:30
We often focus on how much time we have to complete things - tasks, projects, etc. However, most folks rarely address the question of how much energy they have to complete those same things. Very often, time isn't the hindrance. It's energy. While we think we have an unlimited supply of energy, and in many ways, we do for as long as we're alive, the reality is that if we're not resourcing it appropriately for ourselves, we will quickly deplete what we do have. This can take the form of burnout and other maladies that keep us from being able to keep moving forward. In this episode of Kickass Conversations, Kim and Louise are joined by Shelley Smartly of The Smartly Comedy TV & Podcast Series to talk about resourcing your energy.

Is fear holding you back from making decisions or taking actions you really want to make? Then a healthy dose of courage is just what the doctor ordered. Courage doesn't always mean we're not afraid.

Ep. 42 Crafting the Experiment with Financial Educator Jacinthe Koddo
00:50:06
Often, we allow perfectionism to get in our way. It can stymie our progress and keeps us from truly performing at our best. As recovering perfectionists themselves, Kim and Louise shared a mentor who instilled in them the idea that "it's ALL an experiment." That idea has become a keystone in both of their lives and their businesses. What's possible if you allow yourself to see life, work, everything as an experiment instead of something that needs to be perfected? In this episode, Louise and Kim will explore this idea with their guest Jacinthe Koddo of Koddo & Co. Consulting Inc., a serial entrepreneur with 6 businesses started, 4 failures, and 2 growing successes. Jacinthe learned the ins-and-outs of business finance over the last decade—and not always the easy way!

Through self-assessment, you are able to become more aware and gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what makes you tick, find out what your weaknesses and strengths are, and better understand your emotional triggers and your leadership qualities.

EP. 29 How To Get What You Want
00:37:41
There are certain times in our lives when we know exactly what we want, but no matter what we do, the universe just doesn’t seem to give it to us. What's up with that?! Why does it feel like such a struggle to get what we want? To paraphrase what we all grew up hearing the Rolling Stones tell us: "You can’t always get what you want. But you get what you need." Is this true? Or is it something we've conditioned ourselves to believe? In this episode, Kim and Louise discuss how it's possible to get what you want in your business, your career, and your life.

Ep. 27 Right Size Your Risk
00:39:18
We've been hearing from so many people recently that they are feeling like so much is at risk these days. Businesses are seeing changes in the marketplace and are considering pivoting or closing shop. Individuals are afraid of losing their jobs or being down-sized and are considering jumping ship. On both sides of the coin, the risk to continuing feels massive... and yet the risk to making a change feels even scarier. When it comes down to it, every decision we make (or don't make) comes with some level of risk. So, what is one to do?

Ep. 26 Are You Operating From Scarcity
00:39:19
You've likely heard people talking about scarcity vs. abundant (or growth) mindsets. The topic has shown up from boardrooms to lunchrooms to sporting events. What was once thought of as a "soft" skill or a little "woo", is now mainstream and something people in all industries, roles, and types of organizations are looking at. At the heart of it, your mindset is what it sounds like... a set way your mind naturally operates or thinks about things. Research has shown that positive or growth mindsets allow us to be better able to overcome challenges, have a better sense of overall well-being, and can even prolong your life! And yet, so many of our clients and folks we talk with are showing up from a place of scarcity, unable to even start opening the door to abundance and growth. In this episode, Kim & Louise go straight to the heart of the matter and talk about what it's like operating from a scarcity mindset and share some ideas on how to start to shift to a growth mindset.

Getting Out of Your Own Way
00:36:23
Here's the icky truth. We all sabotage ourselves. Yup. We do it all the time. We don't mean to do it. We don't mean to get in our own way and prevent ourselves from moving forward. And yet... we do. By procrastinating, refusing to ask for help, criticizing or judging ourselves or others, avoiding, withdrawing, or blameshifting (to name a few), we are damaging ourselves and others (and our prospects, when it comes down to it). Why we do it and how we stop... that's where the magic happens. When we start to understand those two things, we can change the behaviors that keep tripping us up. In this episode, Kim and Louise dive deep into the idea of self-sabotage and how to break those habits that keep us stuck in our work and life.

We've all heard the old adage: “If you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time.” That's where goals come in. They give us something to aim for. A bit of direction and purpose.

Why Words Matter: The Power of Language
00:27:40
What did you say?! It happens to the best of us. Our words are misconstrued, the meaning is muddled, or our communication simply falls flat. Need an example? Think of the last time you experienced a significant misunderstanding that stemmed from differing interpretations of one or two words. It might not even have been that long ago. It happens more than we care to admit - in both personal and professional settings. Words are a significant way we communicate with each other. And yet, creating intentionality around shared language or rules about language are rarely discussed, especially in the workplace. In this episode, Kim & Louise jump down the rabbit hole of language in an effort to support you on your quest for a Kickass Career. Since Louise is an NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) practitioner, this is a doozy of an episode!

Emotions at Work
00:35:19
We've been taught that we must avoid showing our emotions at work. And yet, by overmanaging our emotions, we are cutting off creativity, and communication, and are creating workplaces that don't work for the humans that work there. Whether you have emotional staff members or are someone who wears their emotions on your sleeve, it's important to understand how to work with emotions when they show up at work. On this week's show, Kim & Louise explore the world of emotions at work. It's sure to stir up some emotions in many of us!

Values at Work
00:34:19
Each of us has a set of values that guides us. When we're in alignment with our values, the work we're doing and the relationships we have feel good and as though they are in sync with each other. When we're out of alignment with our values, things feel harder, we're faced with more struggle and turmoil. On this week's show, Kim & Louise will discuss the importance of values in their work and help you start to identify and live into your own unique set of values so you can continue to develop Your Kickass Career.

Toxic Positivity
00:39:04
“Stay positive!” “Failure is not an option.” “Everything will work out for the best.” “If I can do it, so can you!” “It could be worse.” How many times have you heard (or said) these things? Frankly, it's pretty easy for so many of us to jump to the place of positivity when things get hard for ourselves or people we care about. None of us like to be or see others in pain. And yet, this type of default can actually cause more harm than good. In this week's show, Kim & Louise are going to share their thoughts on toxic positivity, and how non-toxic positivity is only part of the story of good mental health.

Adaptability and Resiliency
00:40:09
While the world is always in a state of change, the past 2-1/2 years have thrown a spotlight on just how quickly things can (and do) change - in our lives, our workplaces, our communities... everywhere.

And yet, they are different and serve different purposes. In this week's show, Kim & Louise talk about what adaptability and resiliency are, how they overlap, and how they are different yet both important to thriving in times of change and transition.
