Interview with Connie Jakab

Connie Jakab is a huge advocate for branching out and fighting against the status quo. I saw her speak and was enthralled as her message of mental health expands beyond the bounds of what people usually think when they hear that term.    She’s the director of community for Flourishing Life a global movement centered around wellness and she’s the senior manager of Wellness Innovate.   Connie has three books out there now, one of them called Bring Them Closer.    I’ve also seen her do a bit of hip-hop and talk about the trust and courage that comes from doing so!   From Calgary, Alberta Canada: Connie Jakab!   Key points from our amazing chat: Trust comes from listening Don’t try to change the person  Never try to change their behavior before you try to understand it Courage comes from being able to trust self and others Curiosity is the key to thriving Bring Them Closer is her book on courage Information about her certification program can be found at: Certified Flourishing Coach | Flourish in every area of your life!   Thank you for listening to One Sharp Sword!  Be sure to also check out Wednesdays With Wayne for quick, fun, and inspirational mid-week reading.  www.Wayne
