It is a new year, but are you still limiting yourself with doubt? Do you have someone in your life that creates the space to explore potential solutions, advocates for your success, and holds you accountable to achieve what you want? Do you find yourself asking questions similar to these? o  I am good at my job, but why I am not happy or satisfied? o  How do I define success outside of my career? o  Why do I have a hard time setting boundaries and then not honoring them when needed? o  I am ready for some changes in my life but why can't I articulate what changes I need? o  I know I am ready for a new opportunity at work or in life but why do I have a hard time advocating for myself? Set up some time with me if you are ready to explore how your values and strengths can give you the ability to articulate exactly what you need, advocate for yourself and those around you, and navigate the journey with confidence. Schedule a 30-minute session with me to see how I can help you in 2024: https://lnkd.in/gB2WqpDK www.buildyouralliance.com

I’m 45 today. I’m grateful for my health, my family, and the professional success I’ve found - not to mention great friendships and working relationships with many of you. As I reflect on the past year and on all the years since my first job out of college years ago, I’m sharing five of my favorite pieces of professional advice I’ve received over the years. 1.     You could go after your goals alone but seeking and developing mentor relationships can drastically change the course of your professional future. 2.     On a related note, don’t wait to be asked or told what your next role will be. Decide what you want and go after it. 3.     First impressions matter. Do your best to make a great one. Knowing how to manage both your verbal and nonverbal communication is key to this. 4.     If you can’t effectively present your ideas, how do you expect them to be adopted? Develop public speaking skills as young as possible even though it might be painful (as it was for me!) 5.     People remember how you made them feel when they worked with you even more than they remember the quality of your work. Try to make others feel good about themselves in your interactions with them. I’d love to hear what you would add to this list. What’s the best professional advice you've received? 

What you can do to get out of the crappy client spiral. There is nobody else that has the same life experience, that has the same history, that has the same work experience, that has the same training, in the same way, in the same time as you do and that is what we need to leverage to get out of this spiral. The way that you do that is through your messaging. Your messaging is what you put out into the world. We craft our message based on who it is we are, based on our journey, based on our experience, based on the reasons that someone should work with us. Based on who it is we want to work with or who we've gotten results from and what their lives look like.

$234,000 in debt might seem insurmountable but not if you have a strong enough “Why?” and someone to help guide you through the journey. If you need help with this or any other aspect of your personal finances, let me know. I can help!

What Ruler Are You Using To Measure Your Success?... People allow external expectations and comparisons to influence what we do, think and feel. Here's the thing: - Your values are your North Star — not other people’s opinions. - Celebrate your wins — big and small. - Focus on improving a little each day — measure against who you were yesterday. - Learn from others' mistakes and successes — but create your own path. - You know yourself and your goals best — so trust yourself. The only “ruler” to measure with — is the one you hold yourself to. Define your own success. Set your own standards. Agree? Disagree? Let's start a conversation.

“I will NEVER be able to leave my job to pursue what I love” “Nothing works out for me!" I have, at some point, believed in the above statements. And most probably, so have you! But that’s no longer the case. → My work resonates with my interests. → I have systems that enable me to make smart decisions. → I focus on things that are in my control, → And I don't blame things that are NOT. All I did to bring about this change was: [1] Ask the More Important questions: Instead of: → Why hasn’t it happened yet? → Why did this happen to me? → Why am I not there yet? Ask: → What can I do to bring about the change? → How do I fix it now? → What are successful people doing to WIN? [2] Take Action: Time and Opportunity wait for no ONE. If it hasn’t happened yet, it's because you haven’t done anything to make it HAPPEN. [3] Plan and Create Systems: Start managing your TIME and MONEY efficiently. Create a simple routine and system that works for you, One which you can continuously improve. [4] Focus on the things that are in YOUR CONTROL! Take steps to improve upon yourself and your actions Do not dwell too much on things that you can't control What would you add to this list?

Your Job Title DOESN’T Matter! We’ve all heard this at one point in our careers...especially if you're in the nonprofit space. But… Those who express this opinion are often the ones fortunate enough to have had titles that likely played a role in propelling them to where they are now. I’m here to tell you that your job title DOES matter…but it's not everything. Titles serve as a testament to your career journey and progression—but they say nothing about: 1. your level of integrity 2. how you treat others 3. your lived experiences Embracing the value of titles, alongside the above 3 factors, can be a powerful combination on your personal journey towards success. What's your take on this? Let’s Talk! ♻ Repost if you find this helpful! See you in the comments, friends!

I love that Dawn enjoyed the workshop so much she shared it with her friends: If you know you want to join in for CLARIFY (my signature workshop where I’ll help you get clear on your life’s purpose & your next career steps)...  I don’t want you to miss the last chance to secure your spot at the early-bird price. The truth is… I’m a coach & an intuitive, not a marketer. So I love when folks sign up during the early-bird window because it means I can put 100% of my energy into creating an amazing workshop & helping people like you connect to their soul’s purpose. That’s more in my “zone of genius” than writing invite post, you know? ;) So if you’ve been planning to grab your ticket & give yourself the gift of zoning in on your true purpose, please make it official today! And if you’re on the fence, keep reading to see  what Roman said after coming to CLARIFY last year: CLARIFY was an experience that not only expanded my mind but also saved my soul. Through the course I was able to learn about parts of myself that I never knew existed. Ellen creates a warm, kind and safe environment where you can let yourself be vulnerable and which in turn allows you to bring your true self to the class. This experience will help you wake up from what you thought life was to living the life you want.   If you’re ready to “wake up to living the life you want,” like Roman… Register TODAY before the early-bird price expires.  You can find all the details in my bio and in the comments. I created CLARIFY for anyone who feels like the person who posted: “I’m so confused . I don’t know what I’m meant to do. I’m being pulled in so many different directions!” And if that’s where you’re at, I would love for you to join me in December and get the clarity that will change your life.   Let me know if you have questions!   Love and Spirit, Ellen #createyourlushlife #lushlifebusiness
