Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode
of Vision Pros Live. So glad you're here, so
glad you're in this conversation. I think it's
an important conversation, so thanks for joining.
On the show today, we have Tanisha Moody from
Full Out Coaching. Welcome to the show, Tanisha.
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so grateful
to be here today. Yeah, and we're gonna talk
about some fun things today, but before we get
into it. I love to start out with a win because
there is a lot of uncertainty. There's a lot
of suffering in the world. There's a lot of people
who are practiced at looking for the misses,
looking for the losses. We want to remind them
that what's good in the world and what's not
good in the world, they're always available to
us. It's a matter of where we place our focus.
So what's a win for you or what's something that's
going well in your life? Something that's going
really well in my life right now is I feel like
I am clarifying some of the offers that I have
to help others. And that is such a win right
now because I feel like I'm a multi -passionate
person and it feels like sometimes things are
all over the place. But when everything kind
of comes together and you're like, oh my goodness,
I've been on the right track this whole time
and I get to help other people see that they
were too, is definitely a win right now that
I'm celebrating today, honestly. Right on. And
I can totally appreciate that because sometimes
it's like we might feel like we're going in many
different directions. We might be experiencing
a lot of uncertainty or not seeing those outcomes
that we're wanting to. And then sometimes there's
this moment of clarification where things begin
to gel and come together. And that feels great,
right? Definitely. It's something that I want
everybody to feel if they can. And, you know,
it ebbs and flows. But the fact that I'm feeling
that so highly right now, I'm so grateful. Yeah,
right on. Right on. Well, this show is called
Vision Pros, as you know. So, Tanisha, what I
want to ask you is, what's your vision? Lay it
on me. My vision is for everyone to live full
out. To live, lead, and thrive full out. And
what I feel like that looks like is that individuals
are walking in clarity for their purpose, that
they're living their lives according to their
values. They know who they are, can navigate
fear and rejection, and they're rippling their
impact to help others. And that looks different
for every person. So my vision is to equip people,
inspire people to do that on a daily basis and
leave their lasting impact on the world. OK,
that's a super clear vision, well articulated
and inspiring. So let me ask you a few questions
about that. What do you think gets in the way
of people being able to live full out? I feel
like there's a combination of things and having
the chance to go to hundreds of people, leave
hundreds of people, I think. A lot of different
things get in the way, but there are things I've
noticed. And one of them is first that people
don't always know that they actually have a purpose,
that they're here for a reason, that they exist
for something bigger than themselves. I'm a Christian,
so I know my purpose aligns with God, but not
everybody else has a faith like that. But they
still exist here for a reason. So I feel like
that's something that gets in the way, the shame
or the guilt or something that kind of prevents
them from seeing that they're actually here for
a reason. I think another thing that gets in
the way is fear and rejection or failure or they've
already failed and they're really scared to try
it again. I think those things, those inner critics,
those saboteurs, those things that kind of bring
us down also get in the way. And I feel like.
the last thing well there's many things but if
i'm breaking it into themes i feel like also
just themselves like they don't recognize the
power and the skills and the gifts that they
have the experiences that they have and i think
that gets in the way for people actually being
able to live full out and help impact people
positively yeah um what's an example from your
own life where you were limited by fear or a
disempowering belief that that you really had
to adjust your thinking and bring new thinking
or bring a new story so that you could overcome
that. One that comes to mind was actually my
relationship with rejection. I really felt that
I personally was being rejected and something
that I've had a chance to uncover reframe my
mindset on to share with others to write about
is really that my offers was what were rejected
but not myself personally it's always our offer
that's a rejection but not us and i experienced
so much rejection Throughout my life, working
in theater professionally as a stage manager,
like you're getting laid off, you're losing contracts
and that feels like rejection. I've been laid
off in the corporate realm as well. So that felt
like rejection. And of course, so I've been left
and right on people and dating sometimes feels
like rejection to the rejections everywhere.
And having the chance to reframe that into my
offer was rejected. Not me personally has been
something that has helped me to really kind of
flourish. put myself out there put my offers
on the line and help people do the same yeah
yeah um we yeah we're incredibly afraid of rejection
um so uh yeah a number of years ago i did a year
a year's worth of rejection experiments where
i intentionally put myself into positions where
i made ridiculous audacious bold requests with
the intention of being rejected with the intention
of being told no Because one of my philosophies
is that I need to become a master asker if I'm
going to play the game that I want to play effectively.
And and I was afraid of getting rejected. So
I was like, well, OK, it's like exposure therapy.
If I get rejected over and over and over again,
do I become, you know, used to it, immune to
it or whatever? And and it's I totally appreciate
and resonate with what you shared, because what
I came to realize was that the rejection was
not a personal matter. They weren't rejecting
Fletcher Ellingson. They were rejecting the request
I had just made of them. And but the biggest
takeaway. Was that. Even though I was making
ridiculous. off a request of people and i mean
ridiculous i mean these these people should have
just like turned away and walked away from me
but instead more times than not they actually
said yes right and and so that to me was like
oh my gosh if i'm making these types of requests
and people are saying yes to them what would
happen if i just begin to ask for what I actually
wanted of life. And so I began doing that. And
I can tell you the things that have occurred
as a result of that have been like phenomenal,
right? So yes, so great conversation. Thank you
for sharing that. Yeah, not rejecting you, rejecting
your offer. So where, you live in Maryland. And
and you are you're speaking, you're coaching
and you are you still involved in theater? Not
so much anymore. I still have my union card,
my equity card. So if an opportunity comes up
or if they need a sub or something local happens.
Yeah, I'll take advantage of the opportunity
if it fits in the schedule. Yeah. And have you
ever. Have you always been into personal growth
and personal development, or was there a point
in your life where a flip got switched or the
dimmer light started to go on? Tell me a little
bit about that. Yeah, so my career background
is a little unique. I had the chance to first
start off in professional theater as a stage
manager, working all across the country in different
theaters, and then most recently on the Broadway
first national tour of Mean Girls, the musical.
And theater led me into events, corporate events.
I first started with Disney, so it felt like
a transition from theater into events. And honestly,
events is just theater on fire, a little faster
pace, usually a larger budget, but I guess it
depends on which event that you're doing. And
I had a chance to work in a lot of different
capacities in the events industry, leading teams,
developing people while at Under Armour, Salesforce.
And I realized that. opportunity to create and
build strategies and make these cool experiential
moments and events was really awesome. But the
most fulfilling parts of all of my roles has
been pouring into other people, developing my
direct reports, my skip reports and helping them
get to where they want to be. So I feel like
I was kind of personal development adjacent.
I didn't know that's what I was doing when I
was doing theater and I was doing events and
in management and leadership. But the chance
to do that full time now in a. my own organization
and pour into others on a daily basis is something
that's really fulfilling in alignment with my
assignments, it feels. Right on, right on. Well,
and I can totally resonate with that because
I've got a theater background as well and have
always. Tanisha, if somebody is resonating with
you and they want to find out more about you
or they want to perhaps hire you for their event,
what's the best way to get in touch with you?
Yeah, you can definitely find me on social media,
Tanisha L. Moody on Instagram, on TikTok, on
LinkedIn, as well as at Full Out Coaching, too.
I do have a website, TanishaLMoody .com. I also
have some free resources on there, some e -books,
if you're looking to navigate rejection or if
you want to just share your latest rejection
with me. I would love to celebrate that no with
you. So, yes, I am everywhere on those spaces,
and I would love to connect with everyone. Yeah,
right on. appreciate your um enthusiastic energy
um tell me a little bit about this have you uh
are there any courses or coaching that you are
currently involved with or um do you do you personally
get coached yes so i firmly feel that coaches
need coaching too Great coaches get coaches.
They get coaching. So that's something that I
take advantage of. And I'm very, very grateful
to have multiple coaches to support me on this
journey. And of course, I offer coaching to one
on one individually, as well as with groups and
teams. And it's such a privilege to walk with.
individuals and with groups and teams to help
them get to where they want to be and define
like what actually are they trying to accomplish
why what their values actually are and how can
they live them and how can they actually make
the impact that they want to make definitely
wholeheartedly and i feel i feel that sometimes
we don't always have the exposure or the different
perspectives to really kind of move us forward
and that's why i'm so grateful for coaching to
help me to really submit myself as the expert
in my life yeah and figure out what that looks
like and it's i'm so grateful i get a chance
to do that for others yeah you know and i i appreciate
that statement uh and i invite our audience to
consider this become the expert in your life
like intentionally become the expert instead
of just you know going through the motions like
become an expert in your in your health become
an expert in your marriage become an expert in
you as a parent right become an expert in your
life that's powerful that's exciting right yes
yeah uh tanisha so enjoyable to talk with you
this morning any last uh words before we let
you go here The last thing I'll say is we are
all exactly where we're supposed to be right
now. I feel like sometimes, you know, we're always
thinking about the next step. But, you know,
set up what's happening in the presence, because
I feel like in the present, we're going to utilize
this in the future, too. So absolutely. Yeah.
