Kendra Clark is here today to talk about how to thrive because of our challenges. She reminds us that we must ask ourselves, “Is this challenge happening to me or for me?” Kendra says that when you take the high road you experience gratitude, self love and compassion.

If there were ever a buzzword to escape 2020 and climb on over to 2021, it would burnout. The pandemic has caused people of all different walks, ages, and professions—especially healthcare to experience extreme levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. There is no doubt that the majority of us never expected anything like the COVID-19 pandemic to become a reality – at least not in our lifetimes.

During several meetings recently my team made me aware that most women don’t think or talk this way when it comes to addressing tasks or problems in their lives. Like in the previous episode I discussed being proactive and that it is a choice to think that way everyday. Both ways take time and energy but if done correctly it can help take the stress out of your life and put you in a lead position. It can help you find the gems in your everyday life vs. feeling like you are always fighting an uphill battle.

I think that it is safe to say that we have all had moments in our lives when we have practiced a fair amount of self-pity, or a why me attitude. Which, to be honest, is somewhat understandable – especially if you are going through a tough time. I think that when we have a few challenging situations occur within close proximity to each other, and it is often pretty easy to look at all of these things causing us stress and go, “why is this happening to me?”, “what did I do to deserve this?” “must be nice for other people who have it easier!”.

This year many people have found themselves overwhelmed with self doubt and some will even stay paralyzed with doubt, unable to get through it. It’s not uncommon to have self doubt and everyone goes through it in some stage of their life. What’s important to keep in mind is that sharing your own experiences can lead to helping others.

Letitia was dubbed by client friend Alice Cooper as “The Auctiontainer” which is now a common phrase and the method of auctiontainment is now taught. She is a published author and public speaker. Her new book “No Reserve” is about living a limitless life as an auctiontainer.

In today’s episode, we are going to tackle the topic of brand authenticity. While it may seem lofty, brand authenticity is not nearly as complex of a subject as you may think. We see many examples of this concept every day – think Dove’s Real Beauty campaign, Zappo’s approach to customer service and company culture, or even how Oprah uses her story and her character to build her brand around herself.
