#143: Stop Controlling, Start Trusting: A New Way to Grow Personally & Professionally

In this episode, we catch up with returning guest Vicki Semanie as she enters year three of her business. Vicki shares how her work has evolved beyond coaching into consulting, speaking, and leadership development, and how embracing uncertainty has opened unexpected opportunities.We also dive into emotional intelligence, the power of purpose, and why trust, not control, is shaping her vision for 2026. If you’ve ever felt like you need everything figured out before taking the next step, this conversation is your reminder that growth happens through action, not perfection.Key TakeawaysYou don’t need everything figured out to start, clarity comes through action.Business evolution is normal and often leads to better alignment with your strengths.Emotional intelligence, especially confidence and self-awareness, is key to effective leadership.Consistency (like weekly content or networking) builds trust and long-term opportunities.Networking isn’t about instant results, but showing up and being known.Trusting the process can open doors you didn’t plan for but are fully capable of walking through.Negative self-talk can limit growth, but it can be reframed with intentional practice.Building a business takes time, success often comes from patience, planning, and persistence.Guest & Host Information:Guest, Vicki Semanie, Master Certified Professional Coach at Seven Stones Life CoachingCo-Host, Ashlan Glazier-Anderson, Owner of AshbeanPDX MarketingCo-Host, Victoria (Tory) Proppe, Owner of Imagine Marketing StrategiesConnect with Vicki:Visit her website: https://www.sevenstoneslifecoaching.com/ Find her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561743214060 Find her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicki-semanie-sevenstones Connect with us:On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaketheLeap-Today On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taketheleap_today Find Ashlan on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/ashbeanpdxmktg https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashlan-glazier-anderson Find Tory on Instagram & LinkedIn https://www.instagram.com/imaginemarketingstrategies https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriaproppe Like our content?
