Overcoming Obstacles and Setting Goals on the Hot Mess Hotline: Listen to Episode 4 Now!

Jul 2, 2020 | COVID-19 Blogs, Hot Mess Hotline Podcast

We’re halfway through the change curve, friends! Episode 4 of the Hot Mess Hotline is all about overcoming obstacles and setting goals, and then how to plan to celebrate your benchmarks along the way to keep your team on board and energized by change!

This season, I’ll be talking about why change feels like an emotional rollercoaster and why you’ll still need to be talking about COVID-19 for another 2 years after all the disruption it caused. I’ll be sharing client experiences, how-to advice from my work in change management, and a great conversation with Doug Miller, the CEO of Brightworks, on how businesses can better prepare for the future.

Or you can listen to the entire season now.

Insights into Uncomfortable Race Conversations at Work with Danielle Meadows-Stinnett

Have you ever wanted insights into uncomfortable race conversations at work but didn’t know who to ask? Our guest, Danielle Meadows-Stinnett, is generous enough to share a hot mess she found herself in as the CEO of her marketing company.

Our brains are wired for overwhelm when we try to prioritize, do, plan, think through too many steps. Coaching reminds us to use our human superpowers of focus, critical thinking, and taking one step at a time.
