84 Compassionate Accountability - With Just Amy!

87 Are You Bracing or Embracing? - With Just Amy!

Are you bracing or embracing? Whether it be responding to a company layoff, a health diagnosis, the political news of the day or someone asking if they can share some feedback with you! By definition, bracing is about making something rigid, stronger or more resistant. Embracing is to accept willingly or enthusiastically. Quite the difference in approach. This episode is for you if you wish to consider where an embrace might be more powerful than a brace. Pick a life area or situation where you wish to more fully meet & engage with reality. Let's COACH and access even more of your full potential. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! MORE RESOURCES: Are You Ready For Your Own GROWTH MOMENT?

86 Inner Critic Holding You Back? - With Just Amy!

The Inner Critic. Saboteurs. Gremlins. No matter the name, HAVE they been lurking around lately? Tripping you up and holding you back from YOUR future? These guys are persistent and insidious. AND, as one of my favorite clients recently said, the Inner Critic often gets loudest right before growth. I have found this to be true, over and over, for myself and for others. So, I decided it's high time for a call to action - take back control & toss the Critic out of the room. I promise you, life is so much better when the chatter and noise of self doubt is silenced and you are free to GROW. SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! MORE RESOURCES: Here is Margaret Weniger's book!

84 Compassionate Accountability - With Just Amy!

Compassionate Accountability. Two words that don't always go together. It can be HARD to find the balance between one side - understanding … forgiving … supporting versus the other side - holding standards … responsibility … follow through. Whether in career, relationships, finances, parenting AND especially with yourself. Most of us fall on one side or the other. The problem is that compassion can slide into excusing or enabling. Accountability can shift into performance policing or shaming. My intention is for you to walk away today with a great Both/And – a new perspective truly combining human compassion with strong accountability. Let's go! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K!

Together they build capable adults." #6 The Marriage/Partnership Frame "Compassion keeps us safe. Accountability keeps us growing. Together we stay intimate." #7 The Justice-Oriented/Values Driven Person "Compassion honors context. Accountability honors impact. Together they protect dignity." #8 The Enterepreneur "Compassion lets me pivot without shame. Accountability makes me execute without excuses. Together we build momentum." #9 The Spiritual Frame "Compassion recognizes our shared humanity. Accountability honors our personal agency.
