Verve Leadership Podcast

In part one of this episode, we chatted with Mou Saha, mixed media artist, about how a fateful decision to submit a very personal scrapbook to a contest led her down the path of being a published author and art instructor.  In this second part, we dig more into Mou's artistic philosophy and motivation and learn some of her secrets to honing her craft over time.  Mou says "everyone is creative".  Do you believe?

There are people who come into your life for a reason or a season, and Pamelia Robinson is one of those people who showed up for me right on time!  We've grown our mutual adoration society relationship over the past several years through our involvement with the International Coach Federation (ICF) Pittsburgh board.  It has been such a joy cheering each other on as we've defined our businesses and traded notes on various art supplies!  Here Pamelia shares her story of personal transformation and coming into her own as an entrepreneur after a very full corporate career.  She is such a breath of fresh air and I hope you get as much out of hearing her story as I did!

When I look back at some of the most momentous occasions in my life, from finding love to starting a business, I have always had a coach at my side for the big moments.  Coaching has helped me find my voice and has allowed me to use that voice to serve others.  This episode defines what coaching means to me, and is a retrospective of the many coaching moments in my life,  in order to showcase and illustrate how coaching can shift and elevate personal and professional development.  What I learned in putting this together is that every gift my coaches gave to me, I now get to bundle up and give to my clients, and you!

After marking a new beginning comes defining the next phase.  When change is upon you, do you pause to ponder what you want that next phase to represent?  What you want to get out of it?  What your intent and focus will be?  In this episode I talk through some of the things that surfaced for me in my exploration, and I provide tips on defining your next phase, rather than letting it just happen to you.

In this episode, I invite you to think about how to set the tone for your new beginning.  I tell my story of a series of new beginnings in my life, from moving across country to turning 40 to starting this podcast!  I also have some tips around making the best of your fresh start.

Welcome to the Verve Leadership Podcast!  Here's a quick glimpse into the backstory and what you can expect from each episode!
