What’s stopping you from pivoting into your next move? Pivoting is essential with any transformation in your life. This pivot could be a career change, starting a family, starting a business, or even growing a business. Maybe what’s stopping us from fully pivoting is our leadership gap. We are continuing our Season 2 of the Balance Boldly Podcast how to stop falling into the trap of Desperate Acts! On this episode, our featured guest expert, Lolly Daskal and I discuss the benefits of figuring out #TheLeadershipGap and its importance in your life’s transitions.

Do you find yourself feeling one sided while among a certain group of people that only know you as the person you used to be? Now that we have added an extra layer of success to ourselves, we have to break those expectations and start seeing things from different perspectives. The shame that comes right before the success of many entrepreneurs is embedded within our perception of how we view the complexities of our lives while we work towards our goals. Although we understand that success isn’t over night and there will be a curvy and often steep road others view our endeavors as less socially acceptable. For example, when someone asks you about your business venture, the first thing they ask is, “How much money have you made?” Versus, the socially acceptable action, attending college, people ask, “How is school going?” They never ask about your failures like they do with entrepreneurs. With perspective we find that both situations offer valuable learning experiences, but I have to tell you with my 12+ years in college, I learned way more in the first 6-8 months of being an entrepreneur. Joe Pardo joins us today as we talk about adding perspective to his family business, his past life experiences and going and being Super Joe without shame. Joe Pardo proves when you work for something that you are passionate about, you don’t have to try and be super, it just comes with the territory. Join in on the conversation as we learn to #shaketheshame as entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial leaders....For more information and to access show notes, head over to www.balanceboldly.comThanks for listening!

Are you tired of not pulling the trigger on things you have planned for so long? A paraphrased recommendation from Tony Robbins is to learn the importance of asking quality questions that lead to actionable answers. Instead of focusing all of our energy on the problems we are having, we are better off redirecting our energy towards the solutions. Join us as we discuss inviting change into our lives and what it means for the people who we are connected too. More often than not, we do not ask ourselves the right questions because we are afraid that the answer will mean we have to commit our time and effort to getting things done. Today we are taking a deep swift dive into the possible reasons you’re afraid to open the door to the change (or change agents) you need. Let’s avoid questions that lead to answers that are rooted in fear and ultimately set you up for failure and ask, the hidden questions that unlock the path to our success. What are those changes that you're going to have to make in order to make room for the success that you want? Who are you giving the keys to your future and happiness?Thank you for listening.
