Coaching & Training - Adaptability, Face Your Fears and more 5-1-23

Hello, everyone. My name is Laurie Delk Radecki, and we are going to talk tonight. I started out this training when I was writing my notes to be talking about being adaptable and facing your fears, and then I kinda trailed into some other things, so we'll see where it leads. But one of the things I wanted to talk about is facing your fears like I remember. you know, as as I was raising my 4 children. I never left them alone. I/we rarely, almost never even went on a date without the kids. We we always kept the kids with us. I never traveled without the kids. We would always do family vacations. I took them with me everywhere. When I started speaking engagements and speaking on stages around the world, I took my children with me. That was my plan. That was how I how I raised them. That was how I chose to do things.I remember back in 2,013, I was asked to speak on stage, at an event that was on a cruise, and it was right after my kids dad had passed away. I had never been on a cruise before, and i'd always wanted to go on one, but I was always too chicken, and I had actually even won one in a company several years before that, and I gave it away because it was too chicken, because, like hello, the Titanic, I saw it right! But anyway, so this event I was asked to speak at on stage, but it was on a cruise, and I really wanted to go, and I was freaking out, though, and so I asked my youngest son, who was 12 at the time, If he wanted to go on the cruise with mommy, and obviously I knew he couldn't save me, But I joked with him, and I said, you know, if it sinks, you know you'll save me right? You'll I'll get me to shore. But I remember I talked to my travel agent, I talked to the people, other people that were going on the cruise, the leaders of the event that asked me to speak there and drilled everybody about it. They were all like. Oh, it only goes out about 5 miles from shore, and you know it's a a short cruise, so it's really stay stays close to land, and I was still paranoid..... but I went, and then I loved it. And then I went on like 3 cruises a year every year after that! It was one thing that, you know one thing, going to events. If you can ever get to an event for a company event, go - because you always grow at them, and you learn other things.And a lot of times. Events are online and things.... But you'll still learn more things as you go to events, and as you get around other people that are leaders in the company and things, you're always going to grow, and especially if it's something that where you have to face your fears, you're going to grow at that event or that situation.I remember, even though I was one of the speakers, At this event I grew so much just from pushing myself through, facing those fears, to get on the cruise and go to this event, and one thing that you know that I told myself in my head like, rather than thinking in my head - what could happen Bad? like what could happen like if we hit an iceberg. I know we weren't gonna do that because it was like California to Mexico. But you know thinking about it, you know what if a hole gets in it. What if you know a shark gets you or it sinks, or whatever you get eaten by sharks right?But what GOOD could happen? So whenever I thought those negative thoughts. I decided to replace them with positive thoughts - It Doesn't work If you just say i'm not going to think about that,....
