find your word…

We have some gutsy celebrating this week, but first, you can call me FREEDOM from now on. In our GLA monthly career leadership coaching call this week, rather than introduce ourselves by our first names, I asked everyone to find a word that he/she would like to be addressed by instead. I am pleased to report that PROGRESS from Connecticut who attended, applied the same gutsy principles of negotiation that she learned right here to buying her new home and guess what? She not only got her first offer accepted but also all of the concessions she asked the seller to make. The lovely PEACE from Massachusetts shared the very next day after our group call, that she landed an interview which went so well she is on her way to her next round of interviews shortly. REFRESH from Hawaii just reported a very odd coincidence that just manifested where she now has the means to begin shopping for her first home all while starting her own gutsy career journey. Breakthroughs are waiting for you too, when the universe conspires to support you. Set that intention with us here in our gutsy career community. Learn more about the online career coaching program.

But first, I’m giving you a mini gutsy challenge. I want you to find your word too and for the next week, ask everyone in your home to call you that word for one week.  Your new name is RENEW, STRENGTH or FLOW. In fact, a few years back, one of our villagers was diagnosed with cancer, and her word was STRENGTH. She is surviving and thriving now. Don’t underestimate the power of words and community. Your word means everything and you can tell those in your household why you are that word and how they can support you.

My word has and forever will be FREEDOM. Not a day goes by where I don’t nod to the power of instinct and why by no coincidence I’m able to support others how to be FREE leading from their intuition as well.  FREE from fear. FREE from toxic lifestyles and people. But really, FREE to be.

As you can see, hearing PROGRESS, PEACE and REFRESH’s stories, this spills over to more than just your career.  It impacts your children, your family relationships, your partner, your health, your finances. Gutsy moves are in play as soon as your feet hit the floor each day.

Make no mistake, when you’re too comfortable, you’re not growing and that ho-hum existence will happily take over bringing old habits which have never served you, right along for the ride.

So find your word. Whatever comes up from your gut right now and start telling everyone at home to call you that word for one week straight. Because make no mistake, if you can’t BE it, you can’t RECEIVE it and go on to TEACH it to others as that leader of influence.
