I'm really good. I've I've added so many of the questions and reframe some of them but added in
eating more I had originally the hundred as I said to you and I'm putting those in and um, I I really do
Like that I hadn't noticed the inconsistency of working with experienced leaders and inexperienced and I the new the new folks are not my audience
You know, um
So the reframing of that just was
Good and um
Suzanne is you know, um, taylor king a dear friend of mine has um
Found somebody that can help me integrate because the person originally did it has a really hard time going from one to ten
That's what I wanted in the first place
So i'll be working with somebody else to bring that up to the level
And make the booklet make the booklet even more professional while in the process of doing that. Yeah
Yep, we just hosted suzanne. Did you know that?
No, I did not
Yeah
Yeah, absolutely
We we're on the episode as well. So
We're in great company
Absolutely. That's awesome. Okay. Um, yes, it's a
Refinement process. I think a lot of people overlook the fact that
Strengths Finder is not called strength finder
Right. It's called strength finder 2.0
Um, you know, it's an iterative process. Um, right and that's all great things go through a process of editing and optimizations
And the things including us as people um as leaders
So with that said uh for the visionaries who are listening in
what
Two or three uh research or three resources. Do you recommend that a visionary dive into or look at on their own journey for?
creating their movements
I would say to me that the first in the primary one to start with is
Simon Sinek's start with why?
Um know why you're doing what you're doing and that's right
Uh, I when you identify your purpose
It just feeds you the whole way. Yeah
Read it twice at the same time
It's a good one
Yeah, there is just so much there that um
I mean, this is what I help people do anyways go back to the why why did you form the company in the first place?
Because when you forget the purpose you lose your passion you lose your vibrancy and then you're just going through the motion
You're surviving and I don't care if you're making a hundred thousand or a hundred million when you're going through the motions. You're surviving
Yeah, that's not about living this life. We've come here to live with vibrancy and aliveness, you know
Because that's where the creativity is and when you're in business
It's all about your ability to be creative to adapt creatively to
Every darn thing that shows up on any given day
You have to fall back and regroup and how am I going to creatively do with this to take me and my company to the next level?
you know
And then the other is key person of influence
Key person of influence. Yeah, I think by Daniel priestly. I think it's really important to know
That as leaders we have amazing impact and influence
And when we own it we can be much much more purposeful about it so that we
We recognize at any moment we can call somebody to become their best self
To reach for the stars
And at any moment we can discourage somebody without even recognizing we're doing it
You know, so we have influence just because of who we are
Own it
Absolutely. Do you have another one?
No, that's it. Those are the two those are the two. Yeah, well, this is more. That's awesome
Yeah, all right. Well after the break, we'll dive right back in
We'll be talking about dr. Dorothy's vision for helping leaders empowering leaders to expand impact for a better world
We'll see you on the other side everybody. All right, welcome in to vision pros live with jackson calame
I'm your show host
We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders who are building fantastic visions
Who are building fantastic visions out there?
Hey, what's up and welcome into another episode of vision pros live
I'm your show host jackson calame founder and ceo of first class business. I'm excited to have dr. Dorothy
Martin nevel on stage today with me. We're going to be talking about how to empower leaders
She's got an assessment that we'll look at as well. Um, she's got she's been working at this for
more than five years
um, you know more than more than 20 years and with with that type of experience and timeline the wisdom that comes from the leaders who
You know who spent more time leading and spent more time developing
They've had more chances to go through both the failures and the successes that ultimately help us understand
What we can do to improve our vision
So i'm excited to have her on stage. I'm excited to talk to her
About that and before we bring her on of course
I want to make sure to guide you guys to some materials that can help you with your growth
Um, we have two very interesting sponsors for today's show. One of them is melissa gray of the lawspot. Um now melissa gray
I was nervous to bring her on stage because
Uh attorneys normally don't have the types of visions that I I find very inspiring
That that couldn't be further from the truth with melissa. She understands that legal for businesses does not have to be complicated
She's a nurturer by nature. Um, she does have the ability of course
Um argue and and do all the things that typical attorneys do but to be able to connect with
Me as a human being in our audience and such a great capacity on the show and to be able to have the skill set that she has
Really sets her apart in my opinion from others now
I had a personal experience with the trademark lawsuit that we did win by the way a restaurant connect
But it also costs us twenty thousand dollars as a startup
I don't know if that's considered winning when you're a startup and you need that type of capital for growth
We didn't do the best that we could on on our due diligence for researching who should represent us
Um, you know what counsel we could have already had in place
So my invitation is to you is to interview her while you're also exploring
Your other options that are out there now in addition to that we've got andrew sosen's program recovery
Unplugged up there as well and you know, this is a sensitive subject
And I think that one of the challenges of our modern society is we gravitate away from sensitive subjects rather than embracing it
A lot of entrepreneurs and well anybody in life
You probably know somebody or have somebody close to you that has an addictive personality and could use some help
Andrew has a team of more than 400 people that he's built up over several years
In addition if you're a fan of tony robbins, he's like a super fan of that program
He's been 22 years in a row to tony robbins trainings
I was talking to him about a mastermind that he was doing too with richard branson and robert kiyosaki
Somebody who hangs out in those environments
Learns a lot about wisdom of growth and he's taken this program
From now a number of cities to a virtual
Reality like a virtual experience, you know, that's the silver lining of covet a lot of programs became available to more people worldwide
And so we see recovery unplugged as an opportunity to help people overcome their greatest challenges in the business world
We call it sometimes we call it the mind trash
And there's just so many pressures that are on entrepreneurs that are on business people right now that are really going to end up in a
Everybody. I hope you take the opportunity to find out more about this program and what it could do for your life or your loved ones
I believe they also have a 24 7 call center that can help you understand
How to perhaps effectively introduce this to a family member friend who might find that too sensitive of a subject to approach
Lastly is the water project. Um, the water project is not a sponsor
But it is a program that I hold dear to my heart on purpose. I've
Never had the need for this water in my life. Um, i've always had the water that I that I need and it
So I refuse to allow myself to forget there's millions of people in the world who don't even have access to clean drinking water
But we can do something about that. We can actually work with the water project for instance to help them
bring
Sustainable water solutions to those who don't have it in these communities specifically in africa
And you get to choose the community you want to help when you donate five dollars ten dollars to it
They'll also give you an update of the progress
You get to see the you get to see the project come to fruition
And the kids and these pictures and these communities you get to see them celebrate water like it's christmas day
Um, and I hope that touches your heart. I hope that if you're in a position where you can't give
But you could tell somebody about it
Maybe just share the screen with the person sitting next to you in the airport
Um, you know, or maybe you're you're going to tag a friend or send this to somebody you never know
It might lead to somebody giving a hundred thousand dollars to that project and actually providing water to almost a hundred thousand people
um for the next five to ten fifteen years, who knows how long but
That would be my my request of you is to help us give back
And if you know of a cause that you'd rather see a support than my other challenge to you an invitation drop the link
Let us know about the cause we might not know about it
But we might put it up here next to the water project and talk about it
And you never know how far the ripple effect will will go for the good act
Activities the good actions that you take as you strive to serve others. So without further ado
I'm going to bring dr. Dorothy on stage. We'll dive right into revision and
Everybody that's listening in if you want to know more about dr. Dorothy, you can check the landing page out
You can go to the action steps. We'll have those ready right after our show is finished. So dr. Dorothy
Thank you for joining me on vision. Yeah
Thank you. I love what you said about the water project that you never know who you could meet
That would have the ability to give a hundred thousand dollars to that project
You don't know who's out there. We have the ability to influence so many when we believe completely in something
Absolutely, absolutely. I'm a big fan of that and
I mean, I it reminds me I was at an event
I was speaking at an event called wish for our heroes and we were raising money for veterans and
One of the planned
Tactics, right? Oh my gosh, we use tactics in the midst of our principles. Yes, we do
Was after we had raised all the money that we could
I took a hundred dollar bill out of my pocket
Personally, right and and said, you know, I know we've all given to the max of our capacities myself included all of us have and
Sometimes we're in a position to stretch just a little bit further
And I want to do that right now based on what's happened if any of you want to join me, you know
You know, I know the the families would appreciate it
I think that led to another
Probably somewhere between four and ten thousand dollars
You know being being activated for these families that were in super need
Now I didn't pressure anybody into that
I just made sure to lead by example and to be ready to do so
We again we have that opportunity as leaders to learn
How do we inspire others to take bold effective action?
So with that said I'm done teaching because this isn't my job to teach. This is your opportunity to teach us
So dr. Dorothy, what is your vision for those that you serve?
It is truly to bring them back to who they are
to
Bring leaders back to being the best version of themselves
Because so frequently they have an image of who they are supposed to be in positions of leadership
And the moment we start wondering about who we are supposed to be
Frequently they can get caught up in imposter syndrome because they don't feel like they're being who they truly are
Because in some ways they're not they're betraying themselves with the belief that another style of leadership is better another way of doing things is better
Than what they naturally would be called to do and so listen to who you truly are
It's usually the best gift you're bringing to your people
That's
That's powerful it
I think it took me 25 years to find that out
Yeah, I was I think I lost that around the time I was five or six
And then I
Started rediscovering that I was a leader
I started rediscovering that
When I was close to 30 years old
And so, you know, but you don't know you've lost it and a lot of times, you know, it's that
It reminds me of movie hook with robin williams where he's peter pan. He's forgotten that
right, so
Um, oh I do want to ask you about the house
We're gonna we're gonna defer to allowing people to go into the assessment talk about that
but before before we dive in deeper into
Helping and empowering leaders. What's your vision for you?
Is to
Just keep growing just keep growing and expanding it is I love
I I think life is of it as an adventure life is just an adventure that we are on
That is always about discovery and i've never been one truly to live in a box. I live
Far out of the box. So to me nothing is impossible
My life has experiences have showed me
That everything i've done
Theoretically couldn't be done
And uh, it's certainly not done by me and so it has been just what's out there
What am I called to next and just running after it and doing it?
And it makes it fun for me
And what it does is it because it makes me more of who I believe i'm called to become more of who I truly am
that it
it brings my best gifts out it allows me to have the most impact and influence on the people I work with
And what I remember one of the things I love about you. Dr. Dorothy
Is you have the countenance you radiate the countenance of childlike curiosity
Not many people hang on to that, um, you know, and it's that is so sad, you know
There's people who lose that but you like your eyes your smile the way you talk and and carry yourself
Um, you know, you're not childish
You know, there's a difference between those two things
you have this
Like I don't want to call it joy because I don't know what's going on inside, but you you have this vibrancy about you
Um, what are some of the things that you do?
to
Empower that um or in order to uh, I guess I don't know what the word i'm looking for is but
instill that within your being
That's a great question i've never thought about that I I would say that what I do is
Keep living in the realization that
We're always unfolding
That there's no limit to to who we are and what we can become
Um, it it just keeps keeps going, you know years ago many many years ago
um
I was in a very unhealthy relationship
And I lost a sense of innocence and a sense of awe
and
What what I decided at that point when I when I became strong enough to leave that
What I realized is that I don't ever want to be naive again
But I never want to lose my innocence again. I am taking back my innocence in that awe
of the exquisiteness of life of a beautiful baby of of the joy and
And where I live I come down the mountain every day and look at the water
I live right by the ocean and just think oh my god
Can you believe I live here? Oh my god
This is just so exciting
I feel like a little kid at christmas and I don't ever want to lose that because that is
That to me is what gives the the value the quality to life that I love having
And I don't ever want to lose it again
That's so cool. Oh that is that is a that's a vivid
vision
you know that you're living and
There's so many people that are that are in that
Surviving mode that are so far removed from that that there's a the challenge of one of the challenges of leadership is
You know like it's like if your child has a birthday and you've had a you've had a loved one pass away
Right at the same time, right? You've got to grieve and celebrate, you know and be able to compartmentalize that that's
And that's kind of a representation of life in general
You know, we always have hard things going on and we always have the opportunity to celebrate
choosing to you know choosing to celebrate the good that's there
isn't always the easiest but
We might gravitate back towards that in just a minute and see if we can type in more
I see you emulating it and what it what I heard is
Not just somebody who talks about no limitations, but like I felt it as you talk about that, right?
I felt that aspect of innocence that that awe and I was like, oh, yeah
Ah, you know
That is something that that is easy to take for granted when you're in a situation where you're like, oh, I'm going to do this
It's easy to take for granted when you have it
But almost impossible to gravitate towards when you don't buy by yourself. It's so hard to figure out how to tap into that. So
Um, again, I want to return to that
I do want to dive into a little bit of a darker subject though
Um, right in fact, this is a super dark subject
What's your worst leadership experience ever meaning the one that you've experienced could be one you contributed to it could be one that you've just seen
Or read about in a book
What would that what does that look like so we can avoid it? Oh, it's calling your people to be who they're not
Because of your ego
Calling your people to what be who they are not be in order to feed your ego
Tell me about that
That when you are a leader and we talked about that briefly that when you are a leader your ability for impact and influence is massive
And leaders healthy leaders create leaders
When you are an unhealthy leader who has the money or the theoretical power to
make a big
Mark to make a big impression
And you bring people on board because of their skills or their their
ability to to transform things
And once they are working with you
You decide that who they are is irrelevant. It's all about you
It's all about you your skills
Which are usually limited but your skills and what you want everybody to do to make you look good
instead of
I believe every one of us is called to make this world a better place
And if as a leader we form a company to make the world a better place according to whatever our vision and our skills are
Then we want to bring out the best in everybody working for us because as a belief
They bring a richness to the business. They bring in a wealth of awareness
You don't have they bring in a view you don't have because they've had different life experiences and together
You have the ability to bring your vision
Amazingly out there to the world and when you believe in it passionately your people come to believe in it as well
And it becomes their vision
And now all of you have this same vision and you're working together
To to make the world a better place in the same way and you just keep refining it and refining it and bringing in
More and more expertise and development to make that happen
When you go to the opposite to me and then it's a worst type of leadership
Is it's about me. I don't care what you think. I don't want I don't pay you to think I pay you to work
And i've heard people say that to their employees. I don't pay you to think
Yeah, what a way
To destroy
All the goodness that person can bring to your company
Right, I don't pay you to think
I don't pay you to think the first time I heard that I was in shock
Like how
How can you be so blind
And be in a leadership position
And so to me, yeah
You do pay your people to think you pay them to be creative you pay them
Yes to do whatever you hired them to do
But the more they think the more they are creative the more efficiently they can do it and they may be able to add to their
Job description in a way you never thought of
Because they are so good at what they do
So let them think let them be creative. Let them expand
Because as they expand you expand your company expands everybody wins
It leaves me dumbfounded but yeah, i've seen it more than once sadly. Oh many times
What's what's sad is the world often celebrates and the world at large celebrates
Good leaders or marx leaders is good based on the external results that are driven
You know that is that is the reality of benchmarks and business is the quarterly expectation is the earning potential etc
Um, you know really almost at all costs, you know, as long as the results are there. It's you know, it's hard in the business world to
To argue with the result right? That's what they claim. No, it's not
You know, it's not we still have the opportunity to look at that and say well who's being sacrificed in the process
And because we don't have to
Have it's not a win lose just because I breathe oxygen and you breathe oxygen doesn't mean that you know
I you're stealing my oxygen. It doesn't work that way. Um, not with not with
What i'll call proper growth, but I have a challenging question for you something that came to mind. I don't know the answer to it
Um, but i've faced it many times with different companies. So let's say that we have
A new sales rep come in right and they've got they're excited. They're they're and they're they're ready to cut and they go
They do they start crushing it and doing really well
And if we turn it what turns out that
You know, yeah, we we haven't called them we haven't changed who they are
Based on what we need
But you start to recognize that this cells rep comes from one of those toxic environments where you know, the ends justify the means
And in addition
They feel like their role is their identity
Right, that's who they are now. They are that cell strip. They're going to crush it. They're going doggy dog world
We're going to fight through this
When that's their view of their own identity
How do you address
A situation, how do you address that do you you know where where their identity is kind of in contrast?
With the culture of the team and the understanding that
You're really you're really you're really you're really you're really you're really you're really
understanding that
Your role is great and you're good. But
You know what? I mean, there's a clash that's going to be created amongst team members, right?
I mean that that's so different and so
um, you know ready to ready to kind of fight and every opportunity that they can for what they
Know to be reality. How do you go about?
Educating or working with somebody like that?
I I don't I never start with criticism
All right, because that that puts them in defense before you even open your mouth, right?
Yeah, so what i'll say is to somebody in that instance
Um, i'm absolutely blown out of the water and completely impressed by their ability
To support our company going where it needs to go
Yeah, one of the things I have noticed however, is that I think maybe what's happening?
Is you're losing a piece of yourself in the process of making it happen?
This company piece of yourself this company's style
Is that it isn't win at all costs?
It is let's help everybody win. We do win win here
We want the clients to win. We want our companies to win. We want our sales folks to win
And in order to make that happen
The approach we take here is this
Is what best serves them even if they're buying less?
Is what best serves them even if they're buying less or they're buying a less expensive product
What serves them best and then everybody's winning and that's really the value system here
Does that sound like something you can do because at the moment I can see you're coming at it from another perspective perhaps
In the value system your last company had
But let's just again. I'm not pointing at him. You know, there's this your bad boy, you know, or bad girl
That's not what this is about. This is a value system that may have worked in the last company, but it's different here
Um, does that work for you because I think in the long run not only do you feel better about yourself?
But you recognize you've got the ability to make this world a better place and make this company excel
because our reputation spreads because of our support for our people
and really work with him or her to look at
Do they believe that they can do it in our value system? Because if not
Um, I don't want them to go against who they've chosen to become and working here is going to do that for them more and more
So how can we both win?
Hmm. Well, I like I like that a lot. Um
Before we dive into the best leadership experience. I think that that emulates just that in fact
It reminds me of a I had a similar conversation with chris whitehead of iconic movement
Um, he's got a podcast that that's the podcast name. He's awesome. And I asked him a very similar question
He had a very similar answer
um in that if
we're
Helping people remain accountable to the values we've established for the company
Right. We're pointing at the values not at the person
Um, then that helps us have those conversations and make sure that we're all accountable to practicing those those virtues or values together
Um, and I heard you basically reflect that with you know, that's not the company's style
Um, and it's and when when we're small as a company like right now, it's pretty easy for me
To make sure I don't bring somebody into the company that doesn't honor our values
Because i'm involved in the hr processes, but when you get in the company is where you've got
20 employees 40 employees 100 employees beyond there's certainly more opportunity for people
Excuse me to be able to enter in
that may have
May have nodded their head and checked all the boxes the way they needed to in order to get a job because they might need a job
Not realizing. Oh my um, it's it's very hard to belong in and work in and have an exciting fun experience good experience of work
When you don't
Correlate with the existing values. So thank you for that. Um, it's it's uh been on my mind a lot lately
um
Yeah, I didn't mean to skip that so moving into best leadership experience
What is your best leadership experience ever?
Oh goodness, um, I think with with one of my companies I had because I I have formed
Um five companies at this point and with one of my companies I had um, 63 positions on my payroll
And and I say positions were as free because some of my folks had their full-time jobs
But I had a school I founded the institute of healing arts and sciences
And they may have been teaching at the school. So that was a 1099 position in addition to their
their full-time position with my company and um
What I did is every time we had a phenomenal year
Everybody got a raise or a bonus
and
It allowed me to feel that we truly are a team
And what it did for them is recognized. We truly are all in this together
That it's about all of us winning
And for me
I loved that part of it when I could share all of it when I could
When I could say we did a great job
We did a great. Yeah, it's my company, but without all of them doing what they did
We wouldn't have had the massive enrollment we had we wouldn't have had the massive successes that we had
Um, and there's no way I could have done any of that by myself
So it it was all of us together and that to me
Fed me and fed them and created a community because that's how I saw it is. We are one huge community
That's so mad. That's that's you
Living and implementing start with why?
Yeah, your team right, you know, I think there's so many small business owners that think what's the least amount I can pay you
They don't say it like that. Yeah, you know, they say, you know, how much is this going to cost?
Translation
What's the least amount I can pay your company to support and serve us?
That's the literal translation of that phrase. Yeah, right. That is that is small business mindset
Limitations, right versus what you were doing was looking at. Okay
When we win
You know, we're going to look at everybody's needs. We're going to look at everybody's wants. All right
We're gonna we're gonna plan out in advance what types of rewards everybody's going to get for helping contribute to this thing
We call work, right? Work is hard
It's not easy. Yeah, and we're all in this together what I also do with my full-time employees
I offered medical coverage dental coverage in 401k match
So if they were contributing to the 401k, I present a percentage of what they gave I added to that package
Because to me, I wanted my people to have a great quality of life
Yep
As an as an employee in that situation if I don't receive that I'm going to be daydreaming on linkedin
at all sorts of job opportunities
Because there are over a million opportunities out there where those types of benefits are being provided
So as small business owners if we want to win and inspire a team to work, you know
Passionately to build our visions with us
We have to look at that and say are we truly competitive in the landscape?
You know, are we constantly acting out of desperation and putting our team members in a position of desperation?
It's that's a recipe for disaster right compared to what you said, which is again honor the employees honor the team members
Make sure they're empowered to perform at their best
Naturally, you'll get the best results out of that. So what's that?
Right and they're committed to you and the company because they know
It's a community. They're in this we're all in this together. Yeah
Yeah, it's huge. Um, and it's not about
People belonging to you
Either visionaries it's about people wanting to belong with you
In in this environment, so it's it's by mutual desire
So if you were if this is the last opportunity dr. Dorothy
The last one to share a powerful lesson
What powerful lesson can other visionaries learn from your experience?
That it is so
Important to stay aware of that why?
It is so important
It is so important not to get so focused on success
That you forget why you founded the company in the first place
In too many
They look back and they say what I missed most of the early days
Because in the early days it was fun. There was passion. There was creativity in the early days
There was the excitement of growing the business
And they become so successful
And I want to I love my bias here. I love entrepreneurial work
I let them all be highly successful
But when they become so successful
That all they focus on is success
They've lost sight of the price they're paying for that success
Because when you lose sight of your passion and your vision
Whether you're making a hundred thousand or a hundred million
If you're in struggle and just working to get there wherever there is
You've missed it. You lost it. You lost sight of
Not only who you were but why you were doing what you were doing
And to me life is about as I said earlier, it's it's an adventure
It takes passion. It takes a vibe. It takes a life now
It takes a life. It takes a life
It takes being fed emotionally and spiritually every day
What am I doing? And some days you're fed massively emotionally and spiritually and some days you're fed a little
But as long as you're fed you remember why you're doing what you're doing
And you can't wait to get up and do it again tomorrow
You know it isn't oh god. I've got to go into work tomorrow
I've got to go to work tomorrow
Absolutely the um
The quote i'm gonna pull that up here what you said
and
You talk about staying aware of your why?
So let's dive in a little bit to that because I think that again your powerful lesson is in essence
One of the greatest ways to empower leaders
To you know so that your impact's expanded for a better world
Um when you say stay aware
Every six months every six years every six as a way of life as a way
A way of life. It is not something if I go through my nose, i'm going to remember
It is it is
Aren't a lot of people's whys in their drawer. Yeah. Yeah, I guess it's time to go drive now or I guess people use dropbox too
Um, that's so sad. That is so sad
You know at any point whether it's at night when i'm having a glass of wine or a cup of tea or in the middle of a meeting
Why do I do what I do? I can give you the answer. I may use different words, but i'm giving you the same message
Right, right. We might have more than one why
Too. Yeah, there's there's room for that
It's you know what? It reminds me of two is one of the I think one of the greatest reasons
I know finances are the reason that marriages fail
Finances are a part, but I think that what what is telling to me having having been through two divorces myself, um, you know and and
Seeing different qualities of marriage. Um
My marriages were not a product of people who did not care perhaps we cared too much
Right. There's a balance to be had, you know on on how you go about things
But I see so many people whose marriages are dead
And it's easy to see that the marriage like the the relationship the feeling the why behind it's dead because when you ask them
How did you first meet and they go?
Oh, we met over here
Yeah
You know like the fireworks are gone. They're extinguished. There is no firework left
In that relationship and i'm sorry. I don't mean I don't mean to laugh. It's more of that suitable bar effect
of like laugh instead of cry
um because
You know, we
I don't think people want that deadness
Yeah, but we we lose sight of it. So
How do you how do you become?
How do you move your why?
Into your life in a way that it becomes a way of life
Let's talk about that for a few minutes unless you feel there's another topic you want to talk about from no
That's that's perfectly fine because it's such an important one
Yeah, how you do it is as as I said earlier, I believe every one of us is born with a spiritual purpose
And when you follow that you know what feeds you?
and what feeds me
is when somebody says
I never thought of that. You're right
I feel so
excited
Or so free
When that registers
It's what i've done is is giving them permission. Do they need mine? No, but they thought they did
permission to come alive again
And when I see that
Oh my god that somebody just woke up somebody just came alive and thought
Oh wow, and then I know they're now ready to go back and live their journey
They were surviving they are now ready to go back and start over
Ready to go back and start living
So when that how when I see that happening?
Whether it's through a monthly program I do
Through zoom and linkedin or it is a private client or somebody when i'm speaking on stage. It doesn't matter to me
When I see that it just makes me so alive
It that that feeds my soul
When somebody else comes alive again, and because of who I am
um, it happens
Frequently throughout the day, you know, so it's like why do I do this? That's why I do this. That's why I do this
Because somebody just said oh and they laugh and say oh my god, you saw me. Yeah, I did
Because I choose to see you
I choose to see your soul. I choose to see your heart
You know, I love that. Yeah
That is powerful as a way of life. I mean that's you know, I think each of us is visionaries
You know most of us have learned concepts similar to this or part of this
And our opportunity is to take a take a little note for ourselves
What what in your heart and your mind as you listen to this as you listen to dr
Dorothy share examples and we share examples
What do you know about yourself that you can do to further activate the why in your life?
What can you do to empower your team members?
To do the same, you know, is it just asking them about their why maybe you've never asked them what their why is
Maybe you don't know
You know what they care about today is a good day
You start that conversation
Um, it is fun to do. Um
The i'm gonna pull up your website. I'd love for you to tell us about ask dr
Dorothy.com and and what you do and how you can help people
What I do is I work with folks in leadership
Who have reached a place where?
They are ready
To reassess where they are in their lives. They are ready to reassess what's happening
You know, I have a 10-month program and in that it's that's solely for women for women who are ready to take
self
I work privately with with men and women but that is to help them take themselves and their business to the next level
Because you can't take your business to the next level if you're not willing to go to the next level, right?
The person who had this vision can handle the size company that size company needs you to have a much
larger energetic footprint a much larger willingness and ability to jump in
And so it's whether it's creating multiple streams of income whether it's adding another business whether it is
Changing your business and doing something completely different doesn't matter your insurance is your business is your business
It doesn't matter you're in transition. I want to help you look at transition as a time to come alive
And jump into the next level rather than a time of simply letting go and fear
and with individual clients, it's
Let's look at
What's happening in your life?
Because if you're here to follow a dream and truly come alive
And really live your life
I want to help you get there
Awesome
I love that
Look at all of these things my goodness me
Yes, I love that you've got a very strong depth and your your brand again it reminds me of
The essence of show strengths finder 2.0 is my absolute favorite assessment
And granted it's not fair because you know
You don't know which one's influence the process of getting there
but it is one of the most well put together assessments there is and
Your assessment I went through it and took it and it's got the essence of
On that direction for me again my humble opinion is not necessarily as important as the mass market of 30,000 people going in
Um, you know and testing that seeing that seeing what's there
But I just can't I can't wait to see you continue to develop that and build it and refine it and see what's going on
because I know that
When when we've talked one-on-one
your identity
I mean your your authenticity your ability to lead is amazing
It is so awesome to like be with you and I know like okay. I can ask you almost anything about leadership
So far everything I've asked you all leadership. I'm like
Great answer who learned that too. Um, I wasn't practicing that. Oh, I can change that
Um, right. It's it's I mean, I talked to leaders all day every day
so to have one who brings something new to the table at this stage is
As often as you do is quite impressive
and
The digital identity is always so hard to establish
You know, it takes great care and preparation and lots of iterations and and optimizations
My effectiveness with somebody one-on-one is completely different than my lead magnet
You know my lead magnet is garbage compared to you know, again being able to talk to a professional one-on-one
And and get that insight based on questions asked and someday my hope is that my materials your materials
Will rise to the strength fighter 2.0 level the tony robbins program's levels where people just inherently know
Wow, like I can recommend this to people instantly. So you're you're on a fantastic track for that
Visionaries who are listening in you'll be able to access the assessment. You'll be able to access
The the website the action steps that dr. Dorothy recommends people take you can of course reach out to her in your preferred method as well
You can even drop comments, you know and ask questions in the preferred social media channel of your choice
And we'll make sure that she of course sees that now
We'd invite you to like and subscribe as well to to see updates for other leaders
But more importantly in I think both of our opinions my favorite action step for you would be to click the button
This is be our guest
And consider sharing your vision publicly. Um, you can do that on my stage
You can of course do that on your own
But my hope is to inspire you to tell the world if you're if you're in an environment
Where you have people who will support you and uplift you and see the value and what you're striving to accomplish
share that
With the world, you know go come out and talk about what it is. You're up to and how it is you're helping people
Because that you know holding it holding yourself
accountable publicly
With a proper support structure is one of the greatest catalysts to helping your vision come to fruition
Do you have anything to add to that dr. Dorothy before we close?
It's so beautifully said that we can't do it alone
We truly can't do it alone and that's that's the submission of our vision
And that's that's the submission of what you just said is that we we need others to bring us and and somebody like you
Who brings it out and exposes other leaders to other leaders, you know
And and your willingness and ability to bring people together to make that happen is a real strength
And it really supports folks
Um recognizing none of us can do this alone. We can be as independent as could be i'm extremely independent
But independent is dramatically different than self-sufficient
Nobody is self-sufficient
We are all you know, there's a big difference there and others whether it's accountability partners who let us know when we're
We're going off center here. We're losing ourselves in the process or we're betraying ourselves
you know, um
folks help me because we can betray ourselves with the best of intentions and a
Good partner will bring you back and say hey chicky
Uh, you took a left
You know, whoa
Thanks for pointing that out. I was so narrow focused. I lost sight of where I was going
And that's the gift of having people you trust walk beside you and help you get to where you're going
Wow
