87. The Daily System To Feeling Calm When Everything Else Is Not
Imagine right now how satisfying it would feel to be fully present in a conversation with a friend, coworker, or child. Imagine being completely focused on what that person is saying to you rather than thinking about what you have to do next. If feeling distracted, spinning or anxious is familiar to you, it’s not surprising. For most people, it has become the norm. In fact, we are in an era where being ungrounded has become a global epidemic. But here’s the thing -- it doesn’t have to be. There are several ways that you can get out of this hurried, hustling, ungrounded state and shift to a calm and centered one. When you begin a daily grounding practice, you are able to remain calm, clear, and focused even when everyone around you is not...and your connection, productivity and influence will increase! So stop the spinning. Add a daily grounding practice so that you can build and experience your breakthrough year!

86. Four Steps To 'Complete' Your Year Before You Plan Your Next
A new year is quickly approaching, and that transition is always accompanied by resolutions and action plans. But wait! Before you rush into creating a new plan for your future, it’s crucial to take a pause and give reverence to the year behind you. Completing your year in this way is an opportunity to reset and refresh before you begin anew. This process is simple -- but don’t mistake that for insignificant -- and will help you acknowledge your many wins and avoid repeating any mistakes you’ve made. I’ve done this for myself, and my clients, year after year after year and the insights are guaranteed to surprise you. I have condensed it to a simple and powerful four-step process that you can try out before you start your planning. You wouldn’t put a cake in the oven before adding the flour, and you don’t want to start planning for the 2022 you want before adding this important ingredient either.

85. What the Bold Are Doing To Scale Their Work
Our knowledge is power, but it fades away if you don’t use it. In fact, the data shows that you lose 90% of information within 24 hours of hearing it if you’re not using it. If you are an individual who is sitting on a wealth of information and an idea that you know will change someone’s world for the better, it’s time to shift from “knowing” to “applying”. No more second guessing yourself or waiting until the time is just right. Putting your next plan in motion takes risk and comes with unpredictability. But when you begin applying what you know, you will be astonished at the results that come from your unverified action.

84. How To Make Work Life Fulfillment A Reality For Women
We are losing women in the workforce by the millions, with one of the main factors being burnout. In fact, 53% of women are currently reporting that they are suffering burnout because of work. If you are a woman who has played by the books, done everything right, but realizes the cost of the intensity and overwhelm you feel throughout your day, begin by acknowledging that your workload is not going to change. What can change is how we design our life. I’m going to share with you three ways that you can internally activate so that you can move from the overloaded hustling female leader to the fulfilled female leader. It’s time to take a breath, get out of the “do more” mindset, and reclaim your power so that you can live the life you’ve always dreamed while doing the work you’re meant to do.

83. How to Nurture Your Team During a Period of Epic Burnout
Several years ago, the Director of the London School of Economics, Monouche Shafik said, “In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they’re about brains, but in the future they’ll be about the heart”. I believe that the future she referred to is now. The data shows us that people are leaving the workforce in droves due to extreme burnout and exhaustion. As a leader, there are things you can do to reverse the epic burnout your team or those you serve are facing. It’s time to put your energy towards cultivating a work culture that cares and appreciates your employees for more than just their results.

80. The Simple Playbook For Planning and Winning In Your 4th Quarter
Regardless of how the first three quarters have gone for you this year, the 4th quarter is where the reset button is hit and all that came before fades away. World-class athletes equate the 4th quarter to “winning time.” They bound into the 4th quarter with the energy, enthusiasm and excitement as if they've already won. They also have a clear game plan before they take to the field. I want for you to walk into your fourth quarter with that same energy and game plan too. That’s why in this episode I’m sharing the key rules and exact plays you need to craft and cast your winning 4th quarter game plan.

79. Your Future Relies On You Breaking The Rules
Achieving your next goal or aspiration likely requires you to break some rules. I’m referring to the kind of rules that have been around for over 100 years. These rules may have worked for you for some time now, like the idea that you’re only as worthy as your last result, or that success will be acquired when you work harder. The truth is, following these rules will only keep you from the future you’re meant to move towards.

73. Re-Entering Your Old World Without Sacrificing Your Pace
If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past 15 months, it’s that I have spent too much of my life hurrying to get to the next place or do the next thing without even knowing why I felt such a sense of urgency. We have an underlying assumption in our culture that hurrying and hustling will take us to a happier place. So many of us hustle for no good reason other than it’s what we know. As a result, hurrying and creating a pace that is unsustainable has become a habit in our workplaces, communities, and homes. If diving back into your once hurried pace makes you anxious, then choose to re-enter differently. And if you didn’t experience a better balance between work and life this past year, now is your time to do it. It is possible to slow down the pace and still be productive, successful and impactful. The last 15 months provided evidence. So as the world begins to reopen its doors, I urge you to take a moment and consider the pace at which you wish to re-enter. How will your work life balance look? What will you choose? Push play to hear five strategies to guide you through re-entry on your own terms. For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast.

72. The 4-Step Problem Solving Framework
How would you rate your problem solving skills? I would venture to say that most of us could use a bit of practice. Too often we are misdiagnosing the true problem we are facing. We tell ourselves fictional stories and believe false assumptions over facts. In order to look a problem straight in the eye, we first need to correctly identify it. Becoming a master problem solver will give us the chance to experience the simplicity that life is meant to have. Today I’m spilling the truth about problem-solving and sharing my four part problem solving framework so that you can confidently tackle even the most challenging of problems.

There really is more than enough time for your most important work and your robust personal life too, regardless of how busy you believe you are right now. It’s true! But it requires that we change our relationship with time. If you feel a dull anxiety or nagging pressure to get things done day in and day out, it has nothing to do with your time management or lack of hours in the day. Today I’m going to show you how to move your relationship from a time-scarcity relationship to a time-abundant relationship so that you escape the pressured pace so many live with and trade that in for being more present, peaceful and productive both at work and home.

Do you ever feel like you have reached the traditional standard of success yet you STILL feel unsatisfied? Maybe you can’t put your finger on exactly why. There’s a reason for that. We are straddling two very different realities - one is our indoctrinated cultural self and the other is our true self. It’s very easy to get off path because we’re trained by society to do things in a specific way. We’re told to earn the next level of income, take on the next title, DO MORE. And we do it. However, along the way we forget our personal truth code. Now is the time to get back into alignment with ourselves, to course correct if we are off or to affirm we are headed in our own “right” direction.

68. Redefining How We Measure Accomplishment For Your Ultimate Life
We live in a society that teaches us we have to accomplish and achieve in order to be worthy. It’s been drilled into our brains since we were children. Unfortunately, with our high-desire to excel, we often live our life with only a picture of the short-term. And we measure it based on culture’s metrics for success instead of our own. As a result we often see the unintended by-product of achievement in burn-out, stress, unhappiness, disconnection from kids, and divorce. But what if we had a defined life strategy that was guided and measured by our own metrics? How would we allocate our resources differently to span all of the “businesses” we lead? Today we’re taking a look at rethinking and redefining success and how to do it. For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast. Connect with Rita on Instagram @rita_hyland_coaching.

Have you ever gotten advice from someone you truly respected and knew it was not right for you? If you have, you know the feeling that comes with hearing the experts or the majority tell you one thing, but your gut tell you another. It can be daunting to follow your gut, especially when as a leader, big decisions are on the line and the stakes are high. But there’s also a hefty cost when you don’t. Do you believe your gut when it talks? If you do, do you ignore it or act on it? It can appear easier to follow another’s recommendations when it comes to making decisions and taking action whether that’s in your career, business or life. But we know there’s a hefty cost that comes from doing so. Successful leaders today are using a different approach when it comes to making decisions. They listen and believe their gut when it talks, and courageously follow it even when it disrupts the status quo. For full show notes, head to ritahyland.com/podcast.

Years ago I sat in the recording studio of the Oprah show. I was asked a question that would forever change how I viewed relationships and my part in them. Too often “successful” people see doing as their path to meaning when really it is the deep human connection in our relationships that gives meaning and purpose. We are in charge of what kind of friend, spouse, parent, or leader we want to be. Think about a relationship that you are struggling with currently. What would it look like when it is at its best? Who would you need to be in the relationship to make that a reality? Today you’ll hear an essential practice that upends the old approach to cultivating relationships and that will clean up or enhance any relationship you want to upgrade.

There is a disconnect in our culture. We are told from a very young age to be successful and happy, yet we should do so modestly. Celebrating victories and wins is often perceived as bragging, and so we avoid it so as to not make others feel uncomfortable. I’m here today to put a stop to this approach. Rather than hide and deflect our wins, let’s be proud of them. Let’s talk about them freely and authentically. By doing so, we have an opportunity to inspire others to do the same.

What I am saying is your assumptions are not facts and they may be holding you back. Unlearning and challenging your current thinking is the key towards building a growth mindset and opening new doors of opportunity because when you do you will take different actions and can create different outcomes. Today you’ll hear stories of how shifting thinking has drastically benefited others, and can do the same for you.

I’ve seen it a lot with talented, hard working and intelligent leaders who think they need “this before they can do that.” Where “that” is another person’s permission to make the change in order to have what they want. So what if that wasn’t true? What if what you’re missing in your world could be as simple as you giving yourself permission to experience it? Now if giving yourself permission seems too simple to you, there’s a good chance you’re overcomplicating. It’s ok. A lot of talented, hard-working and intelligent leaders do. In today’s episode we’re taking a close look at why we wait for permission from others, why we don’t give it to ourselves and how to change that sooner than later.

There is a big mistake that a lot of generous and well-intended individuals often make for the sake of showing they care. That mistake: self-sacrificing.
