Today, on the podcast, we have Spiritual Guide and Coach, Sarah Trapkus who talks to us about embodiment - "existing and experiencing life through your physical being." This episode serves as a reminder to take it below the neck, to notice what's coming up for you or what's here IN your body right now. We are all spending energy - whether we are doing it to conform to the things that don't fit us anymore or to disrupt those things and create something that does, it's energy either way. It takes a lot of energy to keep the door closed. AND, it takes a lot of energy to keep the door open but the view is infinitely better! One of the ways Sarah checks in around this is by continually asking herself, "if the things that I've made define who I am aren't there, then who am I? If everything fell apart, would I still be me/free?" This episode will help you reconnect with (or move deeper into) trusting yourself again - as well as the magic that exists when you do! ----- Find out more about Sarah by visiting sarahtrapkus.com or by saying hi on Instagram @sarahtrapkus ----- Do you have some things you still want to accomplish this year?

What is the problem you are solving right now? What is the result you're creating right now? What is the thing you are making the priority right now, on purpose? In this industry - and in life - it is so easy to get caught up in the "hustle shuffle". We can do all the learning and accumulate all the things, and convince ourselves that we need to take ALL the action at once. The "hustle shuffle" is always available. It is here for you. It is consistent. And, you are welcome to have it.  The problem is, if you are in the "hustle shuffle," we know you are out of intentional business-building, growth, and living.   What would it look like to not be telling yourself 100 stories about what you don't have, what you don't know, what you need, what you should do? And, instead, if you were able to say, "I know what to do. I know why I'm doing it. I know where my time is going. I've got this! ... If there's a little piece I need to learn along the way, that's when I'll go learn it. I don't need to learn it three years in advance. I can learn it when I need it. I can relax."  This episode is for anyone who wants to be more intentional, who wants to slow down, and feel more clarity and more peace. I've got you.  ----- Do you have some things you still want to accomplish this year? Do you have a plan?

Today, we are talking to Certified Master Coach and Goal Expert, Carrie Marshall about identifying what you actually want and figuring out what it's going to look like to get it.  We talk about timing, releasing the expectations and opinions of others, and doing what YOU want - going after something just because you want it. Carrie shares some great quick tips, exercises, and examples to help you in the process. (There's one that I, particularly, love! But, you'll have to listen to find out...) As adults, we can forget to do things just for fun, curiosity, adventure, passion... just because we WANT to. Let's see if we can recapture some of that today!

"If I think I am my brain, then I am a victim to it all the time." Next Level Thinking has really shown up as a thing in coaching and in the online space these last couple of years. In one of my small groups, we had a really interesting conversation about it recently. Questions that came up were: "How do I know what next level thinking is? Am I there now/Is this it? Who decides what next level thinking is?"  And, I think there's two sides to it:  1). The really useful side where we go inward and really think about and analyze our thoughts - making that differentiation between who we are and what we habitually think.  2). The other side, that was created as a marketing tool to establish the gap between where you are now and where X person's product could potentially take you. It's a cool idea, if it works for you. If it doesn't work for you, put it down. It does not have to be a weapon you use against yourself.  Next Level Thinking does not have to be hard. Let it be what it is for you. And have some fun!  You always have access to thinking about your thoughts and it opens up so much more in life. If you are going to put yourself out there, try new things, be creative... you will come up against your own brain - it happens.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, that is exactly what's supposed to happen. It's also an opportunity for "Next Level Thinking". And you have the capacity to do that right now.  When we give ourselves the gift of being willing to neutralize how our brains work, so that we can see them with genuine curiosity, that's when the good stuff happens. :) ----- Do you have some things you want to accomplish this year?

What comes easy or naturally to you? We so often make ourselves wrong for having the strengths that we have. In a world where many people are overtired and don't have the energy they want, we need to STOP doing this. The more we learn to play to our actual strengths, the easier it is for us to feel when we're outside of them. A good place to start: 1). Listen to this episode. 2). Notice the things that come easily to you and figure out how to do them MOST of the time. 3). Abandon the notion that only hard work is good. Optional: Take the StrengthsFinder test. When we allow ourselves to be who we are, live in our strengths and from our values, things become easier and we find flow.

"I don't think it's okay that we're out here being helping professionals and that sometimes people have to leave and recover. What are we doing as individuals, and as an industry, to make sure that's happening less and less?" - Caryn That is a large part of today's conversation with Nicky Hammond, The Coach's Coach. Are we making space to listen and are we open to feedback -- even, and maybe especially, when it comes to how we are doing our work? This is a call to practitioners to step more into the role of powerful, grounded leadership... to slow down... and to focus more on internal goals and success than external ones. "We co-create experiences. And, we can provide people with exactly what they asked for - and more. The impact we can have, as coaches, is so fun!" - Nicky Listen to the episode and decide: - Do you want to be an ethical coach? - What does that look like for you? - How does that apply to your business?

"The thing wasn't the thing at all. The process was EVERYTHING." When you've been in business a long time, you try a lot of things. You fail at a lot of things. And, you succeed at a lot of things as well. Earlier on in my career, I wrote a book. I hustled and did all this stuff that nearly killed me to get it out in the world. But, I did it. I figured it out and I pulled it off. It was a best-seller in its category. Last year, I felt it tugging at me to put it to bed. It no longer felt like me and my work. So, I removed it from Amazon. I took it away and I don't think you can get it (in any version) anywhere anymore. It was over, just like that. I'm still so proud of it and everything it taught me! But, it didn't fit anymore so I stopped dragging it around. I felt like this was an important thing to share because so much in this business we see the crescendo of everything - getting bigger, louder, better, more, more, more. But, sometimes, there is also a de-crescendo, where things get quieter and less important. I love when things are done. I love starts and ends. So, I'm curious... For you, is there anything tugging at you? Anything asking to go to bed or be done? Because it's okay. It's okay to just be done with stuff. It's okay to quiet things down. I'd love to know, what's ending? And, why is that perfect for you? Only you get to decide.  Tag me or DM me on IG and let me know. ----- Do you have some things you want to accomplish this year?

What if work was nourishing and energizing - a place where humans were not resources and people genuinely loved being there? That's the shift we're making.  And, if you cannot get on board with that, then your company/your business becomes obsolete because the change IS happening. In this episode, I talk to Organizational Health and Teamwork Specialist, Faith Clarke about building spaces where people feel like they can thrive.  We get into: - This idea of the "traditional workplace". For who? And, for what? What are we keeping alive that maybe doesn't serve anybody anymore? - Managing ourselves to create safety and trust. The ability to have a conversation and manage my own responses (to my not knowing/lack of understanding of what someone else needs and is going through). - Restorative work vs scaling. What's the difference and why does it matter? - Human-centered work. What do we believe about people and how certain people can be treated? "Every cycle of disruption creates something new. And, I think, we are living in a cycle of disruption right now - where people are acknowledging that they can be different from the people around them, things can be different... And, they are going to pursue spaces where they're honored.  All of us, together, can create more of what's needed." - Faith Clarke ----- To find out more about Faith, visit faithclarke.com.

"Making the money is not gonna change how you feel."  In this episode, I talk to certified Master Coach, Jamie Berman about using manifestation to grow your business AND the all-important inner work that goes along with it. We discuss: - identifying your triggers or "hooks" - aligning with what you really want - how we're all different AND we get to do what's fun/easy for us - why we should be paid well, even if we're working in our genius (read that one again!) - how courage feels like sh*t - why we should STOP putting people on pedestals Whether this topic is new to you or you've heard it a thousand times before, it's ALWAYS worth revisiting...

"Launching is a start date and an end date, where you offer something in the middle. It's a specific set of days where you sell something - that's it." There can be a lot of drama around launching.

https://caryngillen.lpages.co/lead-your-profit/ Who doesn't want MORE JOY, authenticity, power and influence in their life and business? Today, we're talking to joy extractor and amplifier, Simone Grace Seol. Simone is creating a revolution in how life coaches market online--teaching them how to get fully booked by putting love first, leaning into their messy genius, and not being afraid to get a little weird. Simone says, "when you're in your joy, you're inviting others to connect with you in your most powerful state." We are all drawn to joy, it's infectious. This conversation is about: - what joy is - how to lean into it - undoing the layers of societal expectations - how to be courageous on purpose - the intersection of motherhood and work ...and more! You will feel more joyful just hearing Simone talk about joy and why it's so important.  Today's challenge (after you listen to the episode): Think about the next courageous decision you need to make to create space for more joy in your life--more spaciousness, more boredom, more creativity, more play. What if you just made the decision right now that you're going to allow for that to happen?  I don't know about you but I want to live in a world where we're making decisions that feel like we're a little bit on fire. ;) DM or tag us on Instagram with your takeaways from this episode (@caryngillen and @simone.grace.seol). ----- You can learn more about Simone and her work at simonegraceseol.com. ----- What are you here to do this year?

Your personal style is the first clue you give to the world about who you are.  "You can't exactly opt out of sending a message with what you're wearing. So, that is often people's first experience of your business or your brand. The fun part is to control that message and put your best foot forward." Today on the podcast, I am joined by Personal Stylist, Estelle Winsett who loves helping women find their unique power through style. "People have in their minds that in order to look professional they have to be uncomfortable - that's not true." In this episode, we talk about: - Questions you can ask yourself to hone in on your style - The benefit of Color Analysis - The one thing you should do right now to bring more harmony to your closet "Getting dressed is often the first thing we do in the morning and it can set the tone for our whole day." It's worth being intentional about. Listen in for some great tips on how to stand in your power and curate a wardrobe that reflects who you are.

"Direct your money towards the things that you care about - no matter how much you have. Start where you're at, with what you've got, and practice working that muscle now." - Sarah DeLuca Today on the podcast, I am joined by money and philanthropy coach, Sarah DeLuca. We discuss: - how to make sure your money is aligned with your values - why it's important to talk about money - financial safety nets - aligned investing - future planning and more. She reminds us to ask ourselves: "What do I need to feel sustainable and abundant?" Also, to know that’s going to change over time. It’s not set in stone so it's worth revisiting every so often.  And, she encourages us to remember that "money is fluid. It flows like water." If it is just sitting there (not doing anything) it can get stagnant and diseased.  Money is powerful when it moves, especially when it's helping create the kind of world you want to live in and pass on to future generations. This episode is a great check-in with yourself to determine: - What creates safety? - What creates freedom? - Where are my values represented in how I spend and invest my money?

I'm often asked how I make decisions in business. And, I hear a lot about past decisions clients have made that they regret. We talk about both of those things in this episode.

Let's find out! It's a fun topic. It's a necessary topic. And, one that I hope helps anyone out there who might be struggling. Or, just provide greater insight into YOUR process.

Today, we are talking to Lindsay Poelman (coach) and Kathy Kinghorn (therapist) about the importance of being trauma-informed. If our goal is to help our clients get where they want to go and for us to "do no harm" in helping them get there, then we really need to understand trauma. We need to know what it looks like, how it can present, how to let people have their stories, how to help them work through it, and when to pull in or suggest additional support. In this episode, we get into: - Big 'T' trauma vs. little 't' trauma - Relationship betrayal trauma - The individual nature of trauma - Safety, particularly in change work - The benefits of coaching and therapy (separately or together) - Gaslighting - what it is and how to recognize it As well as, how to listen to your gut and why we're not in a rush. "We all need a witness to our story. We need a witness to the beauty, to the tragedy... And, your story isn't the same as mine." - Kathy Kinghorn "I like to validate the hell out of their experience - as much as they need to get to the deepest, safest, most loving, acceptable and compassionate place possible. Then, let them lead themselves where they want to go." - Lindsay Poelman "And, change work, healing work, business growth... they're not about speed. If you're trying to rush, you're gonna miss the good stuff. So, thank you both for slowing it down." - Caryn Gillen Lindsay and Kathy are training coaches to become trauma-informed, especially in regard to relationships.

How do you feel about sales and selling? I kind of love it! And, the way I think about it may be a really helpful paradigm shift for you.  That is what we're diving into in today's episode of the podcast.  Are you showing up and selling something that people want to the people who want it? That is how you help people. Selling is helping, selling is leadership - if you approach it that way. And, people want good leaders. We want to know how to take advantage of the awesomeness around us. So, it’s our job to do that for our people.  ----- Do you have some things you want to accomplish this year? Do you have a plan?

"People pleasing is us bending ourselves into a pretzel, in order to show up in the way we think another person wants us to - so that they can avoid dealing with us as we really are AND we don’t have to deal with their discomfort." Today's podcast guest is Life Coach and Mentor, Kelly Tadlock. After leaving a job in Silicone Valley ("There was not a dollar amount you could pay that was going to get me to stay.") and disappointing a lot of people along the way, Kelly found the thing that fills her up. She let go of the people pleasing (that is so ingrained in all of us) and became a huge proponent of self-connection and self-care (the real kind). "Self-kindness is non-negotiable," she says, "and it's usually the worst news I can give someone. Most of us have this real fear of 'if I’m nice to myself, I won’t do anything,' because it doesn't feel as active or as productive." But, it helps us become the person we want to be and create the life we want to live. We have the ability to continually come home to ourselves and reveal who we are – even to ourselves – on deeper and deeper levels. And, it's worth it.  Having the courage to disappoint people, to let them be wrong about you, and to ask for help in the midst of all the messiness yields the most amazing, delicious fruit. The kind that makes you say, "This feels so good. I didn’t even know this was possible." And, who doesn't want that? Your first act of radical self-kindness? Listening to this episode and checking in with yourself... how are you, really? And, what do you need the most right now?  As always, I would love to hear what bubbles up for you around this! DM me on Instagram if you want to have a two-way conversation (@caryngillen).

Today, we're talking about the leadership, feelings and work required to make a big shift. We explore the different stages of competence (unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence/mastery). And, talk about moving through them to make bold moves. "The only thing that keeps us from where we are today and the thing we want that's over there is the fact that to get from here to there is relatively uncomfortable. We lose that connection to our mastery."  A few questions to explore after listening to the episode: >> Where are you currently feeling unconscious incompetence? (Those places where you don't even know what's going on but you wish you did.) >> Where are you in conscious competence doing something that you don't ever want to do again? Where can you drop something that you're actually pretty good at because it's not what you're here to do? >> Where are you going to celebrate your unconscious competence or mastery? What are you good at that you don't even have to think about? (It comes naturally to you and maybe other people notice or even point it out.) Main takeaway: big shifts and bold moves are uncomfortable. But, most of us want an outcome and a life worth feeling incompetent for little bursts of time.  Give yourself a break. And, let's make BOLD moves! ----- Find out what kind of business owner you are at caryngillen.com/quiz.

"It is possible to have the kind of relationship you want with your kids." "There's always a way to be both respectful of yourself and your child." In today's episode, I am talking to Master Parenting Coach, Pam Howard. She helps moms go from feeling frazzled and disrespected to calm and connected.  We talk about all the things! There is something here for you - even if you aren't a parent.

When I was hosting the Disruption Sessions earlier this fall and was talking about disruption and disorientation, I was reminded that not everybody wants to lean into that. As human beings, we like to stay comfortable and safe. But, here's the thing... disruption is actually a way to alignment - which most of us DO want. If we want something new or to do what is good and right, that usually requires some sort of disruption, disorientation, discomfort. We can't get there by clinging to what we already know. "The work we're asking people to do (as mentors and coaches) is to step up to the plate of their lives." It's not easy but it's required. I want to honor that. Yes, it's work - but it's worth it.  What are you pushing on or bristling up against currently? I want to know. DM me on Instagram if you'd like to discuss further. I'm always here for that!

What would it be like to not betray yourself? Allow me to give you some context... I was listening to Brene Brown recently, and she was talking about how we will often betray ourselves before disappointing others. This is a big one for me. I have definitely grown in this area but there are still times and spaces it sneaks in. I'm wondering if it's the same for you? So, what if we tried that on this week? What if, before any response or action we took, we stopped to consider is this FOR me or is this a betrayal of myself? Let's see what feels hard, what feels easy and what has just become a habit.

"What have you been denying in yourself that it’s time to put out in the world?" - Dr. Melissa Bird In this week's episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Clairvoyant Life Coach, Public Speaker and Founder of Natural Born Rebel, Dr. Melissa Bird. We get into a lot of different things but the overarching theme is that most of us could improve at BEing human - admitting who we truly are in ALL of our big-ness and/or processing authentic emotions. And, how that's not a "bad" thing. - We talk about how to show up in life (and business), right at the level you’re at. Being human, and being who YOU are, without having to fix it, plump it or shrink it. - We talk about toxic gratitude. (You've got to listen to hear more about this one - it's important!) - We talk about investing in our businesses - how and why we don't have to do all the things on our own. And, why the growth often comes when we're not. - We talk about how we misunderstand the face of poverty, particularly in the US. And, why it's important to support small and local businesses. (I told you, we get into ALL the things!) Do yourself a favor, listen to this episode and give yourself some space to process whatever comes up for you. It'll be worth it. And, if you need another human to bounce some things off of or to just affirm your human BEing, reach out to me on Instagram (@caryngillen). I'm always here for that! Some questions to ask yourself... - "What 'too’s' have I been called? And, how have I believed them?" - "I'm here now. Clearly, this is for me. So, what’s here?" - "Where am I clenching? How can I unclench?" - "Do I allow myself to wail?" - "What’s my reaction to poverty? Where can I let some oxygen and some humanity in - and just look at that, to see what’s there?" ----- To connect with Dr. Bird, visit https://www.naturalbornrebel.com/.

We are here to connect with each other. Sending a weekly newsletter, posting on social, recording a podcast, building a Facebook group, etc. are all ways for us to multiply our time and impact.

Today's guest, Sarah Selecky, is an author and the founder of the Sarah Selecky Writing School.  Listen in as she talks about: - how creativity is magic - ways of being present in your life/work - how creative writing is a skill that can be taught - why slow is smooth, and smooth is fast - how it can (and should) feel like you're "breaking your life" to make space for writing and creating sometimes Sarah's voice is so calm and soothing.  But the passion with which she speaks, AND the way in which she makes creativity accessible, makes this a must-listen episode.  It feels like hearing a great story, taking a business masterclass, and enjoying a relaxing meditation all-in-one.  "These divisions that our culture presents around making art and living a good life are false." - Sarah Selecky Listen in to find out why and ignite your creativity. ----- Sarah helps writers center their relationship with writing so they can do the creative work they long to do.

It is not only allowed but required that you bring your WHOLE self to your business. In so many ways, we can make ourselves wrong for who we are in business. But, we don't have to.

"It changes you. Doing the work fundamentally changes how you see the world, your work, your clients, how you show up and execute, how you see your behavior. The goal is for you to build a business that is completely equitable and healthy... The concepts are easy, it's more difficult in practice." - Trudi Lebrón In the aftermath of George Floyd, I didn't know what to do. But, I knew I wanted to do something... something meaningful, that would be present in how I showed up - daily. I also knew I'd need some help figuring that out and doing the actual work. Enter Trudi Lebrón and her class, "Show Up and Serve: A Workshop for White Coaches". I went to that class, joined her Mastermind, and have continued my work through the Institute for Equity-Centered Coaching. Doing this work has made my coaching, marketing, and client spaces better for everyone. I have more tools in my toolbox and am more confident that my business aligns with my actual values - that all people will FEEL respected, valued, and centered when they interact with me. I am infinitely grateful for Trudi and her team. And, wholeheartedly, recommend them to anyone interested! If you have questions about working with them, don't hesitate to reach out and let me know.

Such a fun and engaging conversation with Ronna Detrick this week! Listen in as we discuss how the stories we believe and buy into impact our lives, as well as how we can reframe and rewrite them in a way that feels more aligned and true. Ronna explains why she believes that "unless we heal the ancient, sacred stories of women we cannot hope to heal the ones we live today" and how that has played out in her life and business. Ronna is the perfect example of someone who is playing the long game and running a high-integrity business that very much operates as a healing modality in her life and the lives of others. There are some powerful questions in this episode that are worth grappling with. As well as, the invitation to return to center, getting grounded and focused in who you are and what you're doing. What would YOU write if no one had told you anything before? How are you claiming your autonomy and agency here? ----- You can learn more about Ronna and her work at ronnadetrick.com.

This will be an interesting conversation for anyone who works with human beings - which is all of us! If you have ever wondered about the difference between coaching and therapy, how they are different, and how they can work together - this will help.

Emotions are the fuel we use to run our lives. But, I think we often get this wrong as a society. We have this perception that some emotions are better than others, that there is a "right" way to feel, or that we are supposed to be happy all of the time. When, in fact, we are able to swing through all of the emotions and are equipped to handle them all. We are meant to live full-spectrum lives. And, there is power in feeling what you're feeling at any given moment. What if we allowed ourselves to just feel our emotions, without judgment. And, didn’t think they should be different.  How much more energy would we have if we weren't fighting and resisting them all of the time? 

In this week's episode, I talk to Organizing Coach, Tracy Hoth about calming the chaos in your life, home, and business. I recently hired Tracy to help me with a project of my own, and it was amazing how much doing just that one thing opened the door to even more clearing and SPACE. There was an energy that was stuck and completing the project moved it. I am someone who is willing to pay for the speed of decision-making because it means everything gets to go faster. And, getting it done felt like the most FREEDOM ever. Of course, we relate all of this back to business! So, not only are Tracy's 5 tips great for getting organized, they're great for anywhere you might be stuck in business as well. Here they are: 1. Sort 2. Purge 3. Assign Homes 4. Set Limits 5. Maintain Listen in to find out how they work! The whole conversation is great... Tracy shares some really useful information and we discuss important thoughts and ideas around our stuff, its impact, and how we can get free - simply and easily, by making one decision at a time. ----- To learn more about Tracy and what she does, you can find her in the following places: www.simplysquaredaway.com www.instagram.com/tracyhoth www.facebook.com/simplysquaredaway FREE GIFT: Quick Start Guide to Get Organized for Life!

We have an incredible conversation around the 3 Pillars I believe are essential to a sustainable and successful business (playing the long game, caring for your clients, and being of high integrity - these are also stand-alone episodes if you want to learn more/go back and check them out). Corinne is super-passionate about these three topics as well and lives them out loud in her life and business every day.  We get into how the pillars also apply to weight loss, the unhelpful lies that we all believe, why Corinne is so passionate about caring for her clients, and why it's her mission to "teach every woman how to lose weight for good and feel as amazing as she deserves."  This conversation was an absolute delight and incredibly powerful. I think you'll agree. Please, enjoy my conversation with Corinne Crabtree. ----- Everything you need to know about Corinne...

Betty Barr was my 6th-grade teacher and a collegiate athlete prior to the passage of Title 9. In this episode, we talk about women's sports, what it looks like to be a trailblazer, and (my favorite) the power of language. As Betty says, marginalized groups "have a knack for finding or becoming their own advocates." This is a powerful conversation on how far we've come, how far we have yet to go, and why the way we phrase things matters. Betty's not much on putting people in boxes and using descriptive qualifiers. But, she does believe there's power in language and value in the conversations we have. So do I. Please enjoy this conversation with my friend, Betty. And, be thinking about how the things she talks about relate to starting and being in business. The thread is there, I promise.  ----- The book Betty spoke about: "Tomboy: The Surprising History of Girls Who Dare to Be Different" by Lisa Selin Davis.

"Integrity leaves clues, so does a lack thereof. Your people will remember both." This is the third and final episode on what I believe to be 3 essential pillars in business: playing the long game, client care, and being of high integrity. Today is all about Pillar 3: High-Integrity Business. To me, high-integrity business is about being values-led. Business decisions and goals are made with your values intact - and, in fact, leading the way. When people come into your space they will know what you're about because they can feel it. It also means you get to be grounded and clear in your work. You can make hard decisions from a place of ease because you know what's right for you. And, when people ask you what you're up to, you know how to answer - and, more importantly, you know why. It's time to lead with the real you out in front. What would happen if you took a calm, long-game perspective, added a high level of care to your offers and the people you are serving, and layered into everything all of your most important/top values? What's possible for you (and your clients) from that place?! This is an invitation to call yourself in and figure it out.  This is also an invitation to do so with my help, in a small group of like-minded peers. My next round of group mentoring/coaching/masterminding is OPEN NOW. It closes tomorrow and we have 2 spots left. If any of these pillars have resonated with you, we might be a great fit to work together! Check out all the details and APPLY HERE. (https://caryngillen.lpages.co/mmgc521/)

This is the second episode on what I believe to be 3 essential pillars in business: playing the long game, client care, and being of high integrity. Today is all about Pillar 2: Caring For Your Clients. "To care for" means seeing, thinking about, and showing up for people in a way that works for us AND them. People need specific containers in order to do change work. Our spaces are built with or without our intention and attention. This episode is your invitation to be more intentional. Because, if I don't trust you - no matter how much I've paid you - I will not change in your space. And, neither one of us will get what we want for you. Listen to this episode and, then, ask yourself: what creates the space for trust to exist for clients (and potential clients) in my work? Put some stakes in the ground here. To those of you out there concerned about this, thank you for caring for your people. It's a BIG deal - damn near revolutionary! ----- Looking for the person you trust, whose values align with yours, to give you an assist and ensure you are caring for your clients really, really well?
