<v Speaker 2>and share loudly and proudly with somebody, because that's what

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be talking about today. Our experts with

27
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>us today. I don't want to call them experts because

28
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what, there's one thing I know about speakers

29
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>is they are fun, and they are bodacious, and they're passionate,

30
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>and their voice gets loud in all the right ways.

31
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 2>So don't go get in loud today unless you have

32
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>something really cool to share. I want to introduce you

33
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to miss Leslie Caps. We have Kat, We have Kat

34
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Paul Selli and I say it that way for all

35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>particular pre show reasons that you're not gonna know about.

36
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>And then we have Rachel Collins, who has been gracing

37
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>our stages and sharing, sharing and sharing. But look at

38
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>speaking is interesting. So there's all different types of speakers.

39
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>People that like to speak to small groups, people that

40
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>want to command the stage, people that are quiet in

41
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>their life. Then get them on stage and you're like,

42
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>where the heck did that person come from?

43
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, The passion makes people brave.

44
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>That's what I think when it comes to speaking, because

45
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily everyone was born a speaker, and we all

46
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>know that people statistics show is people would rather be

47
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the tulips than get up

48
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>on stage. But when they are fueled or dared either one,

49
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>or they're at karaoke and they've had too much carry

50
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>then all sorts of things comes out. But you know what,

51
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 2>mostly I hang out with incredible people all day long

52
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>that like to share.

53
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>So there's a process, right, there's a process. Some people

54
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 3>are born.

55
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>To speak, but being able to do it in a

56
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>way that lands for people and changes their life, that too,

57
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>is another piece to this party. So I know that

58
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>you're all out there doing good things the world, and

59
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 2>let's listen to these three women that are doing the

60
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>same thing, but they're doing it brat proudly from stage.

61
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>So I know we have listeners and we have viewers. Now,

62
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 2>if you're driving doing your thing, you just keep driving

63
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>doing your thing. But we have a group with us today.

64
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>So on group podcasts, we like to kind of let

65
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>you know who's who. So I'm going to just call

66
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>out their names. They're going to give you a little

67
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>bit away peace sign, double peace sign. I don't know

68
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>what they're gonna do. I have no control of this group,

69
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's going to tell you who's who. So miss

<v Speaker 5>the Lotus Effect. I am a speaker in regards to

92
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 5>domestic violence awareness. So I speak on domestic violence. I

93
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 5>speak on boundaries. I speak on what I consider the

94
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 5>invisible scars, which is the emotional and psychological traumas that

95
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 5>any of us have faced, regardless of things that you've

96
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.439
<v Speaker 5>been through. And that really is the passion behind my

97
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 5>company and what it is that I focus on and

98
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 5>who I am pushing to see the world differently.

99
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Right on, right on, Thank you and Rachel.

100
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Yes, so I speak about mindful productivity. So my company

101
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 6>is passion purpose today and it's really around helping people

102
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 6>identify what really matters to them and why and then

103
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 6>how to plan mindfully so that they can achieve that

104
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 6>without feeling a lot of undue stress and anxiety. So

105
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 6>very happy to be sharing that message with everyone.

106
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Wow, So I love it. This is very variety so people,

107
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>because when people tend to think about speakers or they're

108
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>going to go here a speaker, maybe it's a speaker

109
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>at their conference that's talking about something specific in relationship

110
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to you know, maybe corporate brought someone in, or you

111
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 2>go an event and it's very motivationally based and it's

112
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>supposed to inspire you and motivate you. But I also

113
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>love very specific speakers. I mean, let's face it, you know,

114
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 2>my audience knows that we run big summits and that

115
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>we have really cool people that come and speak and share.

116
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 3>And at the core, I think, whatever.

117
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>The messages, it's really truly about betterment, right, I mean,

118
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>it is about making something better, whether it's productivity or

119
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>your boundaries. There you go, that's a good book, productivity

120
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to boundaries. So let's talk a little bit about letslie,

121
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>let's put to you. So what made you to say,

122
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, decide to brave up and be a speaker?

123
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 4>Like?

124
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 2>What inspired that movement? Because you can get your message

125
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>out in many different ways. So what made you decide

126
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 2>to speak?

127
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 4>Ash? Right? That I'm a loud mouth, right, and it's

128
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 4>super obviously, Uh yeah, Like I got a lot of

129
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 4>words once I started talking. I grew up doing debate

130
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 4>and so never was an issue for me to talk.

131
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 4>But I think through the years, your voice sometimes gets squashed.

132
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 4>We let it get squashed. We are in settings where

133
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 4>it's not allowed to or like you're yelling, right, you

134
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>got the microphone, nobody's hearing you. So really, I think

135
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.600
<v Speaker 4>part of my mission is to use that being a

136
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 4>ham and like, I don't care what I look like

137
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 4>when I do a video, just going and doing it.

138
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 4>So many people have said I love that because now

139
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 4>I can do it right. I don't have to feel

140
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>that pressure because I know you're out there doing it.

141
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 4>So for me, it's really about that, not only your message,

142
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 4>but then allowing other people to step into their own

143
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 4>message and go, you know what, like, my message is

144
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 4>bigger than if my hair is perfect, if my makeup's

145
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 4>per perfect right, or if I say the right things.

146
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>So wow, very cool, very cool, and caw, what was

147
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>it that inspired you to become a speaker? Like what

148
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>was that moment?

149
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh? What was that moment?

150
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

151
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 4>My goodness.

152
00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, I I've always been the person to stand up

153
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.519
<v Speaker 5>for others when I felt like they didn't have a

154
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 5>voice or they were trembling when it came to bringing

155
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 5>forth injustices. And after going through my own ten years

156
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 5>in a domestic violence relationship and coming out with two

157
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 5>young children and starting life over, I realize how many

158
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 5>people had also been through that situation or had other

159
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 5>traumatic events in their lives that we were allowing to

160
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 5>lead our lives, and therefore wondering why on earth we

161
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.040
<v Speaker 5>couldn't play out full And so it started with my

162
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 5>own healing and working with my kids who are now

163
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 5>twenty and seventeen, and then realizing that even more is

164
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.639
<v Speaker 5>needed in this world and if I can help one

165
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 5>person do something different, transform their lives, or someone who

166
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 5>is helping someone on that side see that trauma differently,

167
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 5>that to me means absolutely everything right on.

168
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Very personally inspired, right, very personally inspired. Everyone comes from

169
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a different place. And Rachel, you're so well.

170
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So like Leslie, I had, you know, grown up

171
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 6>doing debate. I'd also done a lot of theater in

172
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 6>my youth as well, and so it was very comfortable

173
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 6>on a stage. But I would say, like echoing you know,

174
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 6>Kat's message, it's really about having something to share. And

175
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 6>so while I'm very comfortable speaking, I think, you know,

176
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 6>focusing in on you know, what is it that you

177
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 6>have to say that can really make a difference in

178
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 6>the world, And when you do that as a speaker,

179
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 6>it's also about really connecting with your audience. And so

180
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 6>I write as well, But I find that when you're

181
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 6>speaking it's just a different way of connecting and it's

182
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 6>much more accessible, right, so people can get a sense

183
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 6>of who you are, and it just your message resonates

184
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 6>in a way that's really different than if it's written

185
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 6>on a piece of paper.

186
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I would agree, and I think we all would agree.

187
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 2>There's something very special. And I think that we've really

188
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>been able to maneuver the world of what we are

189
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>on right now, like through the television screen, through the

190
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>zoom screen, through the FaceTime screen, through the messenger, the WhatsApp,

191
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>what have you. We have curated ourselves to be able

192
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to get a sense of energy where you know it

193
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>used to be just live, just live. You get a

194
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>sense of someone just live. And I think also to

195
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 2>talk to your topic there Richel is that when you

196
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 2>meet someone in person and then read their book, mayn

197
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 2>it lands so much differently, like when you read that

198
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>article or that blog because you've met them, you're like,

199
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I met that person, I saw that person, and it's

200
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 2>like you have a different sense of that person, right,

201
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's a beautiful thing about speaking because

202
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of people that obviously don't and I

203
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>deal with a lot of people that want to be

204
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>on our stage, and we need to curate that confidence

205
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 2>right interview style, you know, for anyone out there that's

206
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 2>wanting to start off a lot of people really enjoy

207
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>the interview style because they have the questions ahead of time,

208
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 2>you can practice them in the mirror and curate. And

209
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 2>even I love how you talk about you know, how

210
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 2>people can absorb you or take in information is and

211
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>it matters like what are you wearing, are you sitting up,

212
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>are you leaning in? Are you sitting down? You know,

213
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 2>what did your background look like? What's what is background

214
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 2>on the stage? Right when you're on the stage, it

215
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>all kind of encompasses is really three D experience with

216
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>somebody that you just can't get any other way. So

217
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>that's why I would say to people, brave up, even

218
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>if it's an interview. Or does everyone remember doing their

219
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>first Facebook live? I mean I spoke to twenty thousand

220
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 2>people on stage, and I think I'm not gonna say

221
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I was more nervous to do a Facebook live. But

222
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>there was something about it being on Facebook that you're like,

223
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, you know, and you know, until you

224
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>realize like no one really cares, no, and it's only

225
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 2>thirty seconds and it's going to go away, and you

226
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 2>know it's it's never going to you know, but it's

227
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>really interesting even for some you know, speakers that are

228
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>really comfortable in one arena, when they get into another arena,

229
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>they have to have a different conversation. And I think

230
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of people are like, oh, you do

231
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>it so easily. Well, we're going to get into a

232
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit about what it is that you do to

233
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>make it look easy, because you know, we've all gone

234
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>through that. Even if you're debating. You know, there's rooms

235
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>that you move up to that have different speakers that

236
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 2>you're like, ooh, this feels uncomfortable, and it's good to

237
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 2>do that, right, it's good to do that. Now. I

238
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 2>know that we have said Sujata. Sujata I know has

239
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>joined us and she's coming in from Singapore. So Sujata,

240
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 2>we are just talking a little bit. If you're able

241
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>to take yourself off mute. I'm not sure, or maybe

242
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 2>you're just hanging out listening to our podcast today, but

243
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 2>do you want to share with us on what your

244
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>topic is. We're just taking a little bit of time

245
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>to introduce ourselves and what is your topic that you

246
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>like to speak on See she's there, you go. I

247
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 2>see that she's unmuted herself.

248
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I've unmuted myself. So I was just listening into

249
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 7>the conversation about made you into a speaker, right, It's

250
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 7>always been the work that I've had. I started speaking,

251
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 7>like on television and other platforms when I was doing

252
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 7>my anti counterfeiting because it's not a job that women

253
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 7>actually do and it was a male dominated area. But

254
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 7>because of the work that I did, I was asked

255
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 7>to speak. And I think naturally I'm a person who

256
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 7>just lands up when the call is required on any topic.

257
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 7>So whether it's from anti counterfeiting to any other topic

258
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 7>to say side to whatever you can name it, I

259
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 7>have been speaking. My last speaking assignment right now in

260
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 7>Singapore was when I gave a talk to ten and

261
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 7>fourteen year old children in a school and I was

262
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 7>really amazed at the kind of questions they asked me,

263
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 7>you know about mentoring, about speaking, about writing, how do

264
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 7>I manage my schedule? It was this thing. So I

265
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 7>think I land up even though some people would not

266
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 7>like to hear me speak, but it are others who

267
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 7>pulled me up and just put me on stage. And

268
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.440
<v Speaker 7>I think I do best as an extemple speaker. I've

269
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 7>tried a lot to do, you know, rehearsing thing. It

270
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 7>never works with me. It just put me in front

271
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 7>and asked me to speak, and I shall speak because

272
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 7>I suppose I have the lived in experiences, practical wisdom,

273
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 7>and that's how I speak or I'm speaking.

274
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Awesome. I love that. Okay, rehearse, don't rehearse. I think

275
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 2>what I get from that is do you you know

276
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>whatever makes you feel comfortable? And I love that, And

277
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I love that you call it an assignment. Isn't that great?

278
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.679
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you know, it's an assignment. And I think

279
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>if you talk to most people on passion or path

280
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>or what have you, you you know, people use the

281
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>words calling, people use the words. I don't feel I

282
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 2>have a choice, you know, like this is what I'm

283
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 2>meant to do.

284
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:54.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

285
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared, but I'm going to do it anyways, not

286
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>because I have this agenda, but because this agenda has

287
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.279
<v Speaker 2>been chosen for me.

288
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 3>Right.

289
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So look, we talked a little bit about what it's

290
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>like to be a speaker. All of you have content,

291
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>all of you deal with other people, and you share

292
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and you in part and as someone who is in

293
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 2>the outpour, right, we're in the outpour when you're speaking

294
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 2>and you're giving and you come off stages sometimes, Man,

295
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I just left it all out there, you know, I

296
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>just left it on the table, right, and you outpoured.

297
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 2>What do you do for yourself for your own self improvement?

298
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 2>What do you do to help keep yourselves maybe on

299
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>top of your field or on top of like what

300
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 2>do you do to help yourself just be em betterment

301
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>of what you do or in betterment of preparing yourself

302
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 2>for what you do? Leslie, I'm going to start back

303
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to you.

304
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Sure, this is such a great question, right, there's so

305
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 4>many different things for me, like personally preparing for speaking.

306
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 4>I learned this technique a while back, but releasing cortisol

307
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>and adrenaline, right and super easy ten pushups, ten jumping jacks,

308
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 4>ten squats, anything like that. And I went on a

309
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 4>little regiment of that for like sixty days, and it

310
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 4>really eliminated a lot of that build up because what

311
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 4>happens is we go to the gym once and then

312
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 4>we come back and we have a stressful situation or

313
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.200
<v Speaker 4>we get on stage to speak, right, whether you're experienced

314
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 4>or not, you have a little bit of those hormones

315
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 4>raise up and so being able to get rid of

316
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 4>the bulk of that and then right before this, right,

317
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I kind of have a little ritual of what I do,

318
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 4>and just having that really kind of ground you and

319
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 4>keep you before and after truthfully sort of and then

320
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 4>keep you at that stable level so you're not that

321
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, massive up and downs, which that's what wears.

322
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Us out right.

323
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Awesome, thank you so much. And Kat, what about yourself?

324
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I'm going to take this question a little

325
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 5>bit differently, you know, because you're talking about growth and

326
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 5>improvement consistent with us in our field. And for me,

327
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 5>the first thing that popped into my brain, which pops

328
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 5>in my brain a lot, is asking questions. I am

329
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 5>always here to learn from absolutely anybody, whether they are

330
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 5>where I am at way further ahead behind in the

331
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 5>journey or you know, in their space and their journey.

332
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 5>Is connecting with people in different areas to be able

333
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 5>to pull that knowledge and understand, especially when we're talking

334
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 5>about domestic violence and trauma, it's really getting a feel

335
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.039
<v Speaker 5>and understanding other people that speak in this field, people

336
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 5>that have been through it. How it affected them so

337
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 5>that I can eliminate those pockets within my brain where

338
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.279
<v Speaker 5>it fills in its own story, and I have more

339
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 5>information to be able to share. That is statistical, but

340
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.599
<v Speaker 5>it's also in real time because I'm hearing it directly

341
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 5>from people. And that's that lived experience that I feel like.

342
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 5>You can give ask questions and give tests all day long,

343
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.480
<v Speaker 5>you may not necessarily get that point. And that is

344
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 5>the piece that I love doing right on.

345
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>That is very cool. It's very cool.

346
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm loving this. It's when both of you are talking it. Also,

347
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it reminded me of something that I did. I just

348
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 2>came back from doing a book launch in New York

349
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and it was fantastic. And you know, a couple of

350
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>our authors put together an event for me to go

351
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>speak at about our movement and our project. Now, look

352
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>at I can talk about this movement and the project

353
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>in five minutes. If I'm called to go on to

354
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 2>stage right, I mean, I know it because I embody

355
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>it much. I'm sure like all of you and some

356
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of you that are listening to us today. So you

357
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 2>when you embody your information, you can pull it up

358
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>from anywhere, like what the HUGECTA was talking about just

359
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>her life wisdom. But for some reason, I was like,

360
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.839
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I need to rewrite And it was

361
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>really interesting for me to rewrite my presentation and I

362
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.319
<v Speaker 2>rewrote it differently, and I was like, oh, this was

363
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 2>such a good exercise. I didn't have time.

364
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 4>I was in New York, part.

365
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Of someone else's book launch, doing an event, Times Square,

366
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.640
<v Speaker 2>all the things, and then you know, so we were

367
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>running around and I was like, no, I'm going to

368
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 2>take the time to rewrite. And it was interesting rewriting

369
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 2>my speech that I could have done with my eyes closed.

370
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I completely added a different piece and I enjoyed my

371
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 2>presentation so much more. And you know, the audience didn't

372
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.960
<v Speaker 2>know my old presentation, but it certainly rised, like rose

373
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the vibe in the room. So for me, that was

374
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 2>really something really good from an improvement of what I

375
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>had already improved upon. And I think that you just

376
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>reminded me with that just asking questions or just you know,

377
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I just knew there was going to be a couple

378
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>of different people in the room, and just hearing my

379
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 2>conversation a little differently, that was really cool.

380
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Thank you and Rachel for yourself, what do you.

381
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 4>Do yeah, So I do a lot of reading.

382
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.079
<v Speaker 6>I love to read and then really just kind of

383
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 6>reflect on what I've read to stay current. I also

384
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.119
<v Speaker 6>love watching Ted Talks so on you know YouTube, there's

385
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:57.440
<v Speaker 6>this fabulous Ted x talks and such a variety of information,

386
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.559
<v Speaker 6>and when I watched those, like, I really you know,

387
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.039
<v Speaker 6>kind of hone in on how are people delivering their

388
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 6>message right, how are they connecting with their audience? And

389
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 6>so watching really great speakers just inspires me to up

390
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 6>my game. And then as well, I'm part of like

391
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 6>a group coaching program, and so I can get feedback

392
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 6>and input from other people and really, you know, ensure

393
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 6>that my message is landing. So those are all things

394
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.200
<v Speaker 6>I do just to you know, continually improve and grow

395
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 6>through this.

396
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I love that. I love that because every good coach

397
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.079
<v Speaker 2>needs a coach, Every good coach needs an expert, Every

398
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>good coachings a therapist, like you know, the human part

399
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 2>of who we are. And sometimes you may not have

400
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>to take the whole course over again, because you could

401
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.640
<v Speaker 2>teach the course, but there's always something new to learn.

402
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.279
<v Speaker 2>And even bringing in experts and having someone who will

403
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 2>reflect back the truth to you. I love it. You know,

404
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like when you ask your friend like this is

405
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>this a nice dress? And they're like, hmmm, doesn't really.

406
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, You're like, hey, thank you, you know, thank

407
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>you and and all the things, and you see it

408
00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 2>all on social media.

409
00:20:59.640 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 4>I know.

410
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Right now we're going to a big event and a

411
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of everyone's putting their outfits out there. Do you

412
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 2>like this one? Do you like that one? And taking

413
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.279
<v Speaker 2>boats and book covers and all the things, And it's

414
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:13.640
<v Speaker 2>really interesting to get people's feedback on what it is

415
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>that you're taking forward. And so as well, our dear friends, Sujata,

416
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 2>what about you? Is there anything that you do in

417
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>terms of keeping yourself on top of your game or

418
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>that you do for your own self improvement?

419
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 7>So we're learning is concerned. It's a continuous process, right

420
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 7>every time I speak to a person, or I deal

421
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 7>with a person or interact or engage, I'm always learning.

422
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 7>That's been my passion from I think childhood, observing people's

423
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 7>behavior and then learning from it. As far as you know,

424
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 7>people having an opinion, judgment, or feedback, whether you like

425
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 7>it or not, they will give you that, okay. And

426
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 7>my simple thing is that it's very difficult to live

427
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:00.599
<v Speaker 7>up to people's expectation. There's a song which is my

428
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 7>favorite song, which is called be Yourself. So I just

429
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 7>be myself and I just go with the flow. You

430
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 7>can learn, but ultimately, what you want to do or

431
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 7>what you want to give out there, that's up to you.

432
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:16.359
<v Speaker 7>So for me, as I said, it's ex tempo on

433
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 7>the spot, depending on the questions, questions I can answer.

434
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 7>But if it's a prepared keynote speech or any speech,

435
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.240
<v Speaker 7>that I will still do extempo because like you said,

436
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 7>if you write the presentation, I can have twenty versions

437
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 7>up till the last moment. You know, each time I

438
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.039
<v Speaker 7>will write it, it'll be a different version. So I

439
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 7>gave that up and I said, okay, I go to

440
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 7>the stage and then I just speak.

441
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Right on, right on, Thank you so much. We talk

442
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot about people in business on this show. It's

443
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 2>called mission Accepted. And most people that are speaking on

444
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 2>this show, and most people that are listening on the show,

445
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 2>they are you know, they're looking to expand something in

446
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.759
<v Speaker 2>their life. They've taken the mission, whether it's personal or

447
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 2>whether it's business, or they're looking to pull from your crazy,

448
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>crazy enthusiasm and brave up and go do something that

449
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 2>is calling to them. And so many of you have businesses,

450
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and when someone looks at starting a business, they're in

451
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the business. They want to go to

452
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>the next level in their business. All the things. One

453
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of the things that you will hear is like, and

454
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:22.640
<v Speaker 2>you know you probably hear it. I know we hear it,

455
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>is like.

456
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 4>How do you do? How do you do?

457
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 2>How do you want so many shows? Rachel, Oh my gosh,

458
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.319
<v Speaker 2>how are you producing? Like?

459
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.599
<v Speaker 3>How do you do? What it is that you do?

460
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>And I think that entrepreneurs become very good at obtaining

461
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>at least in some area of their business. Now they

462
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>might be doing it with their personal business or their

463
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 2>personal life that allows them more availability in their business right,

464
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But can you share with us, like what I call

465
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a top performance, a top performance message, or a top

466
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.599
<v Speaker 2>performance tip or whatever you want to call it. What

467
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.480
<v Speaker 2>do you do in your life that allows you to

468
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 2>do more of what it is that you want to do?

469
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, it could be having your groceries delivered. But

470
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>share this, so, Leslie, what do you do?

471
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Miss?

472
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to the oscars, I just launched a book.

473
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm speaking. Last time we had a conversation we're looking

474
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.640
<v Speaker 2>at three businesses, Like what do you do to talk

475
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>performance so that you know.

476
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 4>You stay you Yeah, No dusting, hello, no vacuuming, right yeah,

477
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:31.279
<v Speaker 4>don't like those things anyway, So that was no loss. Yeah,

478
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a great question for me when things

479
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 4>start to like seem super overwhelming. I clean so no dusty,

480
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 4>no vacuuming. But I go out in the garage and

481
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I clean, I clean out a closet, And mostly it's

482
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 4>an energetic thing, right, It's like, I know, I have

483
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 4>to get rid of things to allow more things in.

484
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.160
<v Speaker 4>So the physical then is part of the internal. And

485
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 4>the other thing I've started doing is really closing the

486
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:04.559
<v Speaker 4>door on things. I make decisions in my head. I'm

487
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 4>like very quickly, but I sometimes don't say those out

488
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 4>into the universe. And really taking that step to be

489
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:16.799
<v Speaker 4>very clear, very conscious saying to another person another thing

490
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.720
<v Speaker 4>like stopping that and closing the door. Again, for me,

491
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.039
<v Speaker 4>it's all about managing the amount of energy I have,

492
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.319
<v Speaker 4>and so how how to do that best and keep

493
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.720
<v Speaker 4>what's old and outdated sloughed off and moving forward to

494
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.240
<v Speaker 4>bring new opportunities in.

495
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Right on.

496
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.599
<v Speaker 3>Very cool and kat for yourself.

497
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness.

498
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 5>For me, it's boundaries and delegation.

499
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.319
<v Speaker 4>Those are the two biggest things.

500
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 5>And I feel like, especially us as women, where we

501
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 5>have this feeling of but I need to do it all,

502
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:52.799
<v Speaker 5>and I have to care for everybody, and I need

503
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 5>to take care of the kids. Creating the boundaries to

504
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:58.720
<v Speaker 5>realize what is important to you and being okay with

505
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.680
<v Speaker 5>putting that first, and then thinking about how you can

506
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 5>delegate out all of those other things you don't want

507
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 5>to do, right, like cooking dinners.

508
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't have to do.

509
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 5>My kids are old enough so.

510
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:09.440
<v Speaker 4>They get to choose a night.

511
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker 5>That's on you, right, But it's it's things like that,

512
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Like you said, going to get your groceries paid. I

513
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.480
<v Speaker 5>have my groceries delivered. So where can you find those

514
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.240
<v Speaker 5>small things that you can delegate out so that you

515
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 5>can focus more on what you want to do, But

516
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 5>then also creating those boundaries around what is important to you,

517
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 5>making sure you're still putting that at the forefront so

518
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.000
<v Speaker 5>that you continue to move yourself forward because if not, again,

519
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 5>especially as a woman and a parent, everything else comes

520
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 5>before you and then your business ends up falling behind

521
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:36.640
<v Speaker 5>as well.

522
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, very cool, Thank you so much and Rachel.

523
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so I really start with a vision. So having

524
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 6>a big, juicy vision that you just love. So having

525
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.880
<v Speaker 6>a really clear, you know, end goal that you're working towards,

526
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.720
<v Speaker 6>I think is really important. Steve's jobs, there's a very

527
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 6>famous quote attributed to him that says, you know, when

528
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 6>you have a vision this it pulls you right, it

529
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 6>pulls you forward. And so I think that for me

530
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 6>that is just such a critical place to start because

531
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.000
<v Speaker 6>it becomes a decision filter for everything I do. So

532
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 6>if I'm really clear and where I want to go,

533
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.880
<v Speaker 6>then you know, I can say, okay, does this move

534
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.279
<v Speaker 6>is things come up? Right? Do is obligations come up?

535
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.240
<v Speaker 6>Demands come up? I can you know, really just use

536
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.759
<v Speaker 6>that to say does this move me towards the vision

537
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.759
<v Speaker 6>or does it distract me from that? And that allows

538
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 6>me to more easily say no to some of the

539
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:35.440
<v Speaker 6>things that come up that you know, our great opportunities

540
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:39.480
<v Speaker 6>or our social obligations, but you know they're my energy.

541
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 6>I really want it to be able to go towards

542
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.279
<v Speaker 6>this bigger, juicy vision, and so I would say that

543
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 6>that's really critical as well. I you know, I like

544
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 6>to break it down into milestones that I do within

545
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 6>like a ninety day framework, and so having you know,

546
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.279
<v Speaker 6>really clear objectives that relate to that vision and then

547
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 6>being able to you know, measure my success on those

548
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 6>in a way that kind of creates a sense of

549
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 6>urgency that as well helps drive it forward. And so

550
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.839
<v Speaker 6>those are two really good components for me to make

551
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 6>sure that I'm achieving what I want to do.

552
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Right on. Thank you so much, so many great just

553
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.880
<v Speaker 2>so many great tips and so chata for yourself. What

554
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:22.839
<v Speaker 2>is it that you do?

555
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 7>I go with the flow. So there are only twenty

556
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 7>four hours in a day, and depending on what life

557
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 7>throws at you, so I go with the moment, and

558
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.839
<v Speaker 7>then while making decisions, I just summarize, you know, after

559
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 7>the observation as to the possible decisions I can make

560
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.119
<v Speaker 7>and then choose the best option. And if things are

561
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.839
<v Speaker 7>a bit messy, I just step aside from the moment,

562
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 7>and that's when I do something which is just going

563
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.200
<v Speaker 7>to give me a clear head, like just being with

564
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.240
<v Speaker 7>the animals or with the nature. Like now I have

565
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 7>a puppy, So I just spend some time with the

566
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 7>puppy and then go back to the problem or go

567
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 7>back to the situation and then you know, I can

568
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 7>peacefully make a decision because I already had a few options.

569
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 7>So that's what I do, right.

570
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:22.279
<v Speaker 2>So vast so incredible ladies. As we start to wrap

571
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 2>up the show, you know, risk and reward, right, risk

572
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>and reward. We talk about mission accepted, the risks we take.

573
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's kind of like, you know, being on

574
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 2>a mission, you know, and the risks that you take,

575
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and then there's really cool things that happen when you

576
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>take risks, Like there's cool things that happen, things that

577
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.039
<v Speaker 2>unfold that you can't plan for. And you know, the

578
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 2>big odacious and the joy and the juice and the

579
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 2>passion and all we think about and when you look

580
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.000
<v Speaker 2>back in the last thirty days, you look back in

581
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>the last three years, you look back and you're like, so,

582
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.599
<v Speaker 2>as we kind of wrap up a little bit, if

583
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:58.720
<v Speaker 2>we can share one of the riskiest times and I

584
00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:00.240
<v Speaker 2>know we're you know, we're not going to go on

585
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:02.640
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, but like something that you really

586
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 2>felt was a risk, right, it was like, ooh, this

587
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 2>felt risky. You didn't know how it was going to unfold,

588
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and then it could be a completely different scenario. But

589
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.640
<v Speaker 2>what's one of the coolest things that ever happened to

590
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you by being in business, because people, being a speaker

591
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>is a business. You know, you might be talking about

592
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.799
<v Speaker 2>your book, you might be talking about your program, might

593
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.799
<v Speaker 2>be talking about something.

594
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 3>But speaking in itself is a powerful, powerful, powerful marketing

595
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.599
<v Speaker 3>tool which leads to business, and or speaking within itself

596
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:34.880
<v Speaker 3>is a business.

597
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, So leslie risk and then.

598
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:48.359
<v Speaker 4>Cool, Well you know what that is. I really look

599
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:53.079
<v Speaker 4>at that a little differently, though, So I recognize every

600
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 4>day I step out of the house, I could be

601
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 4>hit by a bus, and I judge everything on that

602
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 4>right knowing that if I did get hit by a boss,

603
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 4>would I have missed that opportunity or not. So it

604
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.119
<v Speaker 4>does change the way I make decisions without a doubt,

605
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.119
<v Speaker 4>but without a doubt. It was I got an opportunity

606
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.319
<v Speaker 4>to pitch a book to take the Oscar's Gifting Lounge.

607
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.119
<v Speaker 4>I didn't have a book at the time, so I

608
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 4>pitched the book knowing that I had about thirty days

609
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.519
<v Speaker 4>to write it, so that we would have thirty days

610
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:30.160
<v Speaker 4>to puke it out into the world. And truthfully, I

611
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.279
<v Speaker 4>didn't know if I could do that, but I was like,

612
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 4>that's one of those things that I would regret if

613
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I walked out the door and got hit by a

614
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 4>boss and didn't take this opportunity. I don't know where

615
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 4>it's going to lead because the oscars are coming up, right,

616
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 4>But it's been a freaking cool ride. And it's like

617
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.160
<v Speaker 4>I talk about the Oscar swagger now right, you write

618
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.400
<v Speaker 4>a book in thirty days you're taking to the oscars,

619
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Like I feel differently and people interact with me differently,

620
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 4>like even in the grocery store. So yeah, so that's

621
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.839
<v Speaker 4>definitely the biggest risk. I don't know where it's going

622
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.720
<v Speaker 4>to go. Someh're freaking cool though, is pretty much what

623
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.079
<v Speaker 4>I'm banking.

624
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Speaker 2>On, all right, So your cool story is for our

625
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>next show. Your cool stories for the next show. Yeah,

626
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I know this woman, there's been some cool things happened

627
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 2>to her, but we're going to keep the big cool

628
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:21.240
<v Speaker 2>for after. Okay, Kat, And what about yourself? That's a risk?

629
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.119
<v Speaker 5>Oh my goodness, there's I think back of so many

630
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.440
<v Speaker 5>risks that I have taken that like really transformed my life.

631
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:30.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think that one of the biggest ones for

632
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 5>me was when I stepped out of the medical field

633
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:38.279
<v Speaker 5>and got into the entrepreneurial field and decided, after a

634
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 5>year and a half of doing it everybody else's way,

635
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.279
<v Speaker 5>that I was just going to do it that way

636
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 5>that I felt I should do it, regardless of a

637
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.839
<v Speaker 5>coach or anything else, which led me down this really

638
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:50.920
<v Speaker 5>beautiful path to where I am today and what I

639
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 5>get to share. And I think that I have to

640
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:57.359
<v Speaker 5>say the most recent one of the really cool things

641
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 5>that happened to me was I was at a parent

642
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:08.160
<v Speaker 5>meeting for my son's JROTC class and the instructor actually

643
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:09.519
<v Speaker 5>came up with me and he's like, Hey, you know,

644
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 5>I've been following you for a while. Your stuff's been

645
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:14.039
<v Speaker 5>popping up on my stories and I'm loving what you're doing.

646
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:15.759
<v Speaker 5>I want you to come talk to the girls teams.

647
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:17.519
<v Speaker 5>He's like, and I really have been trying to get

648
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 5>my daughter to follow you, who is almost seventeen, to

649
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.559
<v Speaker 5>really pay attention to your message, And that to me

650
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 5>was like just the coolest thing to notice that somebody,

651
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.200
<v Speaker 5>especially a dad that like is outside of this realm,

652
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.440
<v Speaker 5>notice that recognized what I was doing and that made

653
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.359
<v Speaker 5>an impact in the way that he wants his daughter

654
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 5>to see to be able to grow up right on.

655
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>That is so great that external confliment, and I love

656
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 2>it when it comes sidebar right, You're like, like, I

657
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 2>don't even talk to you. You're not even in my

658
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:50.000
<v Speaker 2>You're not even in my demographic, you know what I mean.

659
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>There's nowhere in my vision that says but that's really

660
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 2>those are cool. Those are cool things.

661
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>You know.

662
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I always say that my office, if you saw it

663
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>pass this looks like a you know, Tony garage sale.

664
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>And some of it is stickers of things that people

665
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.359
<v Speaker 2>have said through that whole big process of putting the

666
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.119
<v Speaker 2>book together for three years. Some woman just sent me, honestly,

667
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a little sticky you know, like the post it notes,

668
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>and I stuck it here and it was just a

669
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Like honestly, maybe it was six words, right,

670
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.840
<v Speaker 2>but it was that comment. It was that feedback that

671
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I'd look at and go, Okay, you know, let's go.

672
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 3>You know that's fantastic and Rachel for yourself.

673
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:31.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, entrepreneurship is risky, right, and just figuring

674
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 6>out where to start. I think it was kind of

675
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:37.280
<v Speaker 6>the real challenge for me. I'd say the biggest risk

676
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.320
<v Speaker 6>was I had this idea for a program and I

677
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 6>wanted to develop it. I didn't have an audience, but

678
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.079
<v Speaker 6>it was something that I just felt called to do,

679
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 6>and so, you know, developing that and then figuring out, okay,

680
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.039
<v Speaker 6>now how do I build the audience? It just absolutely

681
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.280
<v Speaker 6>took me outside of my comfort zone in really good ways.

682
00:34:56.599 --> 00:35:00.280
<v Speaker 6>And I'd say the coolest discovery for me through this

683
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.559
<v Speaker 6>process was just really that while it felt like something

684
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 6>I was doing in isolation and alone because there's a

685
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.840
<v Speaker 6>lot of work that you have to do that's independent,

686
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:12.719
<v Speaker 6>where my energy really came from and where it got

687
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 6>exciting was just how it connected me with so many

688
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 6>different people. Right, So, I think about being on this

689
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.840
<v Speaker 6>call and just these awesome, you know, new connections people

690
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.519
<v Speaker 6>I haven't known before, but you know, have you know,

691
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 6>something to say, write a difference to make in the world.

692
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.440
<v Speaker 6>And I feel like each time I'm kind of getting

693
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.360
<v Speaker 6>out there sharing in some way, I'm really getting this

694
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 6>tremendous gift back in terms of a new understanding of

695
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.639
<v Speaker 6>just how broad the network is and how many people

696
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 6>are doing such significant things to make a difference in

697
00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.400
<v Speaker 6>the world. And so, you know, going from that place

698
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 6>of you know, focusing on what I want to do

699
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 6>to you know, feeling like we're all in this together

700
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.320
<v Speaker 6>like that is the coolest thing for me.

701
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Right on, that's very cool. That's very cool, and Sujata

702
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 2>something that was risky and then something cool that happened,

703
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 2>like just some cool things.

704
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 7>So as you know that I met you because I

705
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.239
<v Speaker 7>wrote a book. If I had written that book, then

706
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:19.880
<v Speaker 7>I probably wouldn't have met you because even if it

707
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:23.280
<v Speaker 7>was referred by somebody to meet you, right but the

708
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:27.679
<v Speaker 7>book was written because I became an entrepreneur. When you

709
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.480
<v Speaker 7>had a life when you have a life challenging situation

710
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 7>and you have a spiritual experience and you start up

711
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:37.960
<v Speaker 7>as a business person from the scratch in a foreign country,

712
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 7>that itself is so cool because you just walk into

713
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.920
<v Speaker 7>something where you have no experience, nothing, and you have

714
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:48.159
<v Speaker 7>to do from scratch, and it all leads from one

715
00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.639
<v Speaker 7>to the other. So I became an entrepreneur and then

716
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.880
<v Speaker 7>I became an author. And because of being an author

717
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.639
<v Speaker 7>and because of the experiences that I had, I became

718
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.719
<v Speaker 7>a life mentor. Now when I have testimony onals from

719
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.159
<v Speaker 7>people whose life I have impacted, that is a follow

720
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.039
<v Speaker 7>up to whatever I am doing. So whether it is

721
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 7>business that somebody wants to consult me on or it's

722
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.599
<v Speaker 7>on a personal issue that people want to consult me on.

723
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.679
<v Speaker 7>It just goes from one to the other. So I

724
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 7>just watch, like a movie, I watch from outside the

725
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.320
<v Speaker 7>journey that unfolds. I just keep myself open to whatever situation.

726
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.400
<v Speaker 7>And because I care about people, I suppose that even

727
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.280
<v Speaker 7>if people can hurt you, there are people who will

728
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:34.480
<v Speaker 7>uplift you. And that's how I met with you, and

729
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.119
<v Speaker 7>that's how now I'm in two sixty two. I always

730
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.079
<v Speaker 7>wanted to make a movie out of my this thing,

731
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 7>and now you're taking me to the Oscars? What more

732
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 7>can I say?

733
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.840
<v Speaker 3>What more can you say? It is so cool? Isn't

734
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.880
<v Speaker 3>it like if we could, you know, share from the rooftops.

735
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 2>There's days that sure, like any day, I'm sure that

736
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:56.119
<v Speaker 2>at certain times, people go, what was I doing? How

737
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.920
<v Speaker 2>as I thinking? Rachel, you talked about creating the product

738
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 2>before the audience. I mean, here's what entrepreneurs do. They

739
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.239
<v Speaker 2>don't necessarily follow up formula. I mean we watch people

740
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 2>and you know, maybe people say, well, maybe you want

741
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to do some market research or what have you. After

742
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 2>building seven businesses, I made my kid do a business plan.

743
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:14.519
<v Speaker 2>But my first business plan was on a piece of

744
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:16.320
<v Speaker 2>paper in the middle of a massage class.

745
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what I mean?

746
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know, best ideas, they'll rise. You know,

747
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>they'll rise if they're meant to rise. And I love that.

748
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And again, I think one of the biggest bonuses and

749
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:28.760
<v Speaker 2>one of the coolest things is the collective of the

750
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.840
<v Speaker 2>people that you meet. And we make impression upon people

751
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 2>as speakers. That's why you do what you do. And

752
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.679
<v Speaker 2>we'll never know how many people we've touched as the

753
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 2>people that have said something to us, they'll never know

754
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that they changed our lives either. There's books that I've

755
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:44.000
<v Speaker 2>read that I've never called the author and saved my life.

756
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, you know Shafti guy Wan living

757
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 2>in the Light I was twenty seven years old. Yay,

758
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:50.360
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much. I mean, you know, there you go.

759
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I hope to meet her one day, but they just

760
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>we just don't know. So it's just this power of

761
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:02.719
<v Speaker 2>goodness that makes impression upon right, Okay, look at last

762
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:04.280
<v Speaker 2>question I'm going to ask you because we've got you know,

763
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:08.199
<v Speaker 2>let's do thirty seconds each year. Best tip for someone

764
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 2>that wants to be a speaker but they're scared too.

765
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Best tip for someone who's like I don't know my goddamu. Okay,

766
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 2>what would that be? Leslie?

767
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:22.639
<v Speaker 4>Thirty days of one minute reels. Send them out to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram.

768
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:27.559
<v Speaker 4>Don't edit, don't do nothing, put on captions. Send them

769
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.519
<v Speaker 4>out for thirty days right.

770
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:34.000
<v Speaker 5>On, kat, watch yourself after you record it. Get comfortable

771
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.280
<v Speaker 5>with hearing your voice and seeing your motions so that

772
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 5>you can approve, but also be okay with you and

773
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.679
<v Speaker 5>let go of perfectionism.

774
00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic Rachel.

775
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 6>Start small and build, you know, get out of your

776
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.840
<v Speaker 6>comfort zone. Be willing to take your risk and just

777
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 6>start sharing your message.

778
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:52.039

<v Speaker 7>If you get the opportunity, just get into it. It's

781
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.519
<v Speaker 7>only you who think that you are scared. The world

782
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.840
<v Speaker 7>doesn't know that you're scared, So just do it. Nobody's

783
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 7>going to.

784
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, nobody's going to know. That's fantastic, Ladies, Thank you

794
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:42.239
<v Speaker 2>for someone to turn into a movie. These are the

795
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:44.639
<v Speaker 2>things that we've got going on for people that said

796
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.480
<v Speaker 2>yes at some point, and you know what, continue to

797
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:50.199
<v Speaker 2>say yes. And I love what you just said this

798
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.840
<v Speaker 2>to Jetta. It's like, we have opportunities and for the

799
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:55.440
<v Speaker 2>most part, for the most part, I say to people,

800
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:57.440
<v Speaker 2>if it makes you a little nervous, if you wonder

801
00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>if you have the money or you don't have the money.

802
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many stories that I've heard with

803
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't.

804
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.719
<v Speaker 3>Have the money, so I, you know, put it on

805
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 3>a credit card and here I am.

806
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, you know, ten years later, the credit

807
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:10.800
<v Speaker 2>card may not be empty. It's just full of other

808
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:13.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff I said yes to. But their life is better

809
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and they're successful, and they're running their businesses and they're

810
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.199
<v Speaker 2>no longer in the you know, in the job they

811
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:19.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to be, and their kids are you know.

812
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember my son was doing some work with a

813
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:26.079
<v Speaker 2>personal development teacher and I was in the other room

814
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.000
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not supposed to listen, right, and I happen

815
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 2>to be walking from one room to the other and

816
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>this person said, it's so great that you're starting your business.

817
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>He must have been I don't know, seventeen or something.

818
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.480
<v Speaker 2>So great you're starting your business and you could go

819
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.239
<v Speaker 2>to university and get a business degree. And he's like,

820
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I need to because I have my mom.

821
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:46.519
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Oh, the years of fatigue and birthday

822
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:49.840
<v Speaker 2>credit cards are all worth it. So don't let whatever

823
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.719
<v Speaker 2>you say is your reason be your reason. Definitely explore that.

824
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.239
<v Speaker 3>I always say to myself, is it true or is

825
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:57.559
<v Speaker 3>it sabotage? Right?

826
