Anchors of Peace & Hope (Part 1)

Pep Talks & Questions w/Coach Colene

Colene Elridge — known to many as Coach Colene — is a speaker, writer, and success coach on a mission to help people and organizations create better work and better lives. She and I met 10 years ago at a conference we both spoke at, and have been good friends ever since. Our conversation was a blast! PEBBLE Colene's Monday Morning Pep Talks are in the same vein as Ripples, and I'm telling you, they are awesome! They are the only other weekly email that I consistently save nuggets from! You can sign up for them at her website. To sign up for Coach Colene’s Monday Morning Pep Talk emails, visit her website [https://www.bemoretransform.com]. Her book is pretty awesome, too: Read This When...: Pep Talks For When You're (Barely) Holding It Together [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNT5R5N6] BOULDER Here’s the question that Colene spends 45-ish minutes journaling each quarter: “If I were my Best, Most Empowered, Happiest Self, what would I be doing?” PONDER: She mentioned two books that have had a profound impact: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2657.To_Kill_a_Mockingbird], and Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53496.Walk_Two_Moons] We also talked about the Just Record [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/just-press-record/id1033342465 Just Press Record] app for iPhone/Apple Watch/MacOS. (Yes, it's $4.99. Yes, it's worth it!)
