207 - Being "Kind of"
Are you in the top 1-2% of what you do? Or, are you the extreme opposite? Most of us are in between. Great at some things, good at others, and some not so great in the mix. I've been thinking about those moments where I think that I'm in the "kind of" category. It usually involves me comparing...
-
214 - Carving and Chiseling Life
Michelangelo was once asked how he went about the sculpting process. His answer? “I saw the angel in the marble, and carved until I set him free.” This is something we can do for ourselves too - spend time carving and chiseling away to find the real person inside. In recent years, I’ve noticed…

225 - Like Your Reasons
I rode my bike exactly eight miles this year before riding 24.8 miles the day of the triathlon. To say I didn't train is an understatement. Walking, arm weights, and water aerobics don't quite hack it. Especially if you are doing the Olympic version of the race. To protect myself, I took a lot of...
-
Episode 199 - What Struggle Brings
The struggle is real, whatever it is. It can take you in several directions - through pity, despair, and self-destruction. But, also increased capacity to love, express your creativity, and unearth hidden talents to share with the world. And, be compelled to help others that want support on their...

211 - The Loneliness of Diversity
The bus stop is now an essential part of my day. It's the one moment, twice daily, where I feel a sense of community. Or, since it is the beginning of a new year, a newly forming community because it's a mixture of old friends and a lot of new additions to the mix. The diversity is a complex...
-
224 - Restart
Today, I randomly logged into my podcast provider account after a few months of not paying attention. I was surprised to see hundreds of listeners from all over the world delving into past episodes this week. For some reason, it reminded me of all the topics I've wanted to share over the past 14...
-
218 - Being Woman
Happy Mother's Day. Happy Women's Day! I am the oldest living child of 10 children. My parents had twins before me who passed away during childbirth. They are buried in Pensacola, Florida. So, I have seven living siblings. For most of my life, I've been a daughter, sister, and aunt to a few dozen...
-
219 - At the Bus Stop
Working virtually means that some days have very few interactions. However, I can count on one interaction each morning and afternoon regardless of the absence of human interaction. The bus stop. I had to drive pretty far to a bus stop each morning and afternoon during the first couple of years…

223 - Edge Walkers - Stepping in Faith
In this episode, I share what it means to live as an Edge Walker—someone who keeps moving forward without guarantees. I talk about the moments when certainty runs out and all you have is faith, and how I’ve learned to trust my inner compass, even when the map disappears. Through my own stories…

195 - The Guardians
Your presence matters. Sometimes you are leading from the front. Sometimes you are guiding from the side. Sometimes you are protecting quietly. Sometimes you are creating a safe space for someone to take the next step. And, sometimes you are recognizing that someone is doing this for you in…
more -
113 - Desk Matters
Your desk matters. The environment where you put your desk matters. You can work anywhere and get really creative with how you make a space work for you. But, pay attention to where you consistently make trade-offs to make do with your desk, your notebook, your room, and whatever else is in the...
-
111 - Setting the Boundaries Framework
Do you have personal boundaries? Yes. As humans, we have personal boundaries. It's just that sometimes we aren't even aware that we have a boundary until that moment of breach. And, most of us know when that happens. We get angry, we think the other person has wronged us, and we react in a…
more -
109 - Become an Experiment Junkie
How often have you been told that failure is part of the growth process? That mistakes are worth it? It is worth it. It's part of the inspiration and innovation process that gets big ideas out there and turned into something of value. Still, we often hesitate to take the steps needed to uplevel...
-
108 - Watch Your Mind
The reminder nudges to constantly pay attention to your own mind can come from unexpected places, like preschool songs. This song is simple: Who's a good watcher, watcher, watcher. Who's a good watcher, show me now. Are you a good watcher of your own thinking? Are you a good watcher of other's...
-
107 - The Capacity to Feel
Did you spend a lot of time trying not to feel? You may not even recognize yourself doing it. If you are indulging in something at the expense of something that would better serve you and those you serve, you may be trying not to feel. It often shows up in the form of addiction - food, drink…
more -
106 - Wronged
Have you been wronged today? It can happen a lot in your work. The client that doesn't pay. The hiring manager promises a higher salary, but it doesn't materialize. The commissions that go unpaid. And, this is just the money wrongs. The list goes on when you take a look at what goes on in the...
-
105 - Delayed
Sometimes our life and work don't go as planned. We think of the possibilities. We desire to make more money. We want a promotion. We work to move forward. But, sometimes we get delayed. Life happens. Routines get interrupted. And, we see someone else move forward with our big idea. The delays...
-
104 - One Step Ahead
The value you create in the work you do today both starts today, and is the result of efforts you made in years past to start learning something new. All of the skills, the experiences, the pain, the frustration, the failures, and mistakes are part of who you are and what you offer. None of it...
-
103 - Husting for Self-Worth
In this episode I reflect on some thoughts surrounding this quote from Brene Brown - "When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves from the parts of our lives that don’t fit with who we think we’re supposed to be, we stand outside of our story and hustle for our worthiness..." Are you...
-
101 - The Work of Pushing the Rock
Have you heard the "push the rock" story? Apparently, there are multiple stories with this title. One came to mind recently and it propelled me forward in my work. The other, a Greek myth that I just stumbled across, is just as compelling to me. Both stories hold lessons about the importance of...
-
99 - Honor Your Past Experience
Let's take some time to honor your past experience for a minute. Your past can be a great place to get clues to what you do well, what you don't, and what kind of work you might want to pursue in the future. I like to draw a chart and start filling it in toward discovering trends and gaps. Here's…
more -
98 - Helpful at Work
Being helpful sounds like a great attribute, especially at work. But, it's surprising how often we decide not to be helpful or not accept others help. Or, judge help from one as less significant than what someone else offers. I'm practicing being more helpful in my work. Accepting opportunities...
-
97 - Personal Performance Factors Framework
Our work preferences matter. Some of us spend so much time accommodating the working needs of others that we neglect to notice or extend that same accommodation to ourselves. Others, spend so much time accommodating themselves (sometimes at the expense of others) that they don't realize others...
-
96 - The Disdain of the Illegitimate
It's getting ugly out there. All the judgements. All the dis-empowerment. All of the de-valuing and dis-regarding. And, I'm just talking about your work. One of the biggest thoughts coming up in my discussions with leaders, employees, and business owners - "They don't think my work, my...
-
95 - Walking in the Moccasins
It's easy to see our own point of view. Think about any day-to-day situation in life and work and it will be pretty easy for you to share what you think about. But, sometimes easy means that we are default thinking - leaning on our long held beliefs or judgements. It's worth taking a minute to…
more -
94 - Hey Becca, What About ...
When I came home from college, my little brothers were a little older and had lots of questions for me. They would shout out, or say, "Hey Becca" and would go on to ask a question, share information, or try to capture my attention. I love hearing "Hey Becca" and I've decided to use it as a way…
more -
93 - Helping Your Boss AND other things...
How do you like your boss? Are they undeserving of their position? incompetent? self-serving? Do they see the value you add to the organization or team? Like it or not, they get the "boss" title. And, you report to them. Studies apparently show that most people don't leave an organization, the...
-
92 - All of the Swearings
Swearing is all around us. Most of us express our anger, discontent, funny interactions, and other life and work moments infused with a few colorful words that can further provoke ... or illicit laughter. Except, that some of us don't swear. It's just not our thing. I'm not here to tell you…
more -
91 - Beyond the Behaviors
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking others need to change. Your boss, your spouse, or your co-worker, the slow guy driving in the fast lane. After all, if only they would change to behave in ways that we think are common sense and appropriate, we wouldn't be so irritated, critical, or…
more -
90 - Two Front Teeth for Christmas
This episode was recorded BEFORE Christmas and is coming out AFTER Christmas. Just because... Still, isn't it always good to take a moment to reflect on good gift giving? Tiny Person had a tooth incident in December and it reminded me of why I have so many phobias and concerns related to teeth....
-
78 - It's a Gut Thing - Renaye Clark Wimmer
Overworked? Worn out? Feel like you are slogging away against yourself to get through your life work? If you've ever been there, or still are, you know how difficult it is to offer up your best work. What you may not know, is that your gut could have something to do with it. Tune in to listen to...
-
64 - Time Frameworks
Let's talk time. You are in charge of it. You have the same amount as I do. Yet, we get different results in our lives based upon what we think about time and ultimately what we do with it. I've been a planner for a significant amount of my personal and work life. I keep my PMP certification up…
more -
62 - The Wet Cement
Wet cement is flexible and can be shaped in ways that meet a purpose. Sometimes external forces decide to put things in the wet cement - vulgar words, a hole, a disruption to make it uneven. But, at some point the cement hardens. At that point it is harder to make changes. Our lives are filled…
more -
61 - Holding On and Letting Go
What are you holding on to? Our lives are full of stuff. Just look at your neighbor's garage (or your own) and you'll be reminded that this is true. It's hard to part with this stuff at times - a relationship that isn't working, old ways of doing our job, lots of books and paper that we cart…

60 - I am a Coach
In March 2020, I graduated from The Life Coach School as a certified life coach. I planned to officially announce that fact through a podcast. But, it didn't feel right. I was still uncomfortable with this new title. So, I took some time to explore what a coach meant to me and if I truly wanted…
more -
57 - Default Prejudice
Are you prejudice? Most of us think we are not. Maybe it would help to turn off the news, talk to someone different than yourself and discover what's going on in your head and in theirs. I made some mistakes recently. And, learned a few things about myself. Things I didn't even realize about…
more -
56 - The Comparison Game
As humans, we love to compare ourselves to others. Sometimes this serves us. Sometimes this doesn't. It can help us gauge our progress on our desires or goals. Or, it can prevent us from even getting in the game. It's worth paying attention to where our tendencies to compare lead us. And, do...
-
55 - Hesitating on Decision
Though this show is all about preparing to move forward with your work, there are moments where hesitating is necessary. Sometimes you leap, sometimes you hesitate. But, how do you know when? Practice, mistakes, and acknowledging that sometimes you are just lucky/unlucky. But, even in...
-
54 - The Courage to Adventure
Fear will always exist. It's part of life. Yet, some have figured out how to move forward courageously despite their fears. And, sometimes completely overcome some fears through the exercising of the courage on a regular basis. This episode uses the basis of a children's book, called DJ's…

50 - Crossing the Threshold
On the journey to change, there are a series of experiences that take place that ultimately transform a person into the person they are seeking to become. In this episode I share where I am on my journey. And, I'm sharing this in the context of the steps that are part of every hero's journey.

47 - Learning Emergencies
It's April 2020 at the time of this recording. Learning has changed almost over night for quite a few people.

-
46 - Thriving in Virus
It's an incredible time to be alive! We've gotten through tough times before. It's just that this time it's impacting the entire world in much of the same ways all at once. Still, whenever there is an increase of the negative there is always an outpouring of opportunity. What will you do with the...
-
45 - Showing up as a Leader
It's your job to lead in every aspect of your life. But, sometimes you forget. Once in a while life teaches us lessons through unexpected experiences. Master Kim taught me some things about leadership just from being straight forward with me about how I was acting around my son. I took it to…

17 - Negotiation Frameworks
Negotiation is part of our daily lives and definitely necessary each time you move your desk - upleveling your work where you are or seeking opportunities elsewhere. Tune in to see what you may need to keep in mind and how a simple orange can teach us value lessons for future negotiations. See…

Episode 16 - Sequence of Nudges
If you look back on key moments in your life, it wasn't just that moment that mattered. Take some time to reverse engineer some of the steps that led you there. You just might find a sequence of nudges. And, you can be sure that more nudge sequences are in your future.

-
14 - Hiding
Sometimes we can learn a lot from sitting and observing the world. But, don't observe too long. Our minds have a great way of creating a lot of thoughts when we observe. Some of those thoughts may be incorrect while others prevent us from engaging with those around us in ways that mutually…

13 - Distracting My Relax
Are you taking care of yourself? Respecting your own boundaries and space, especially the time you need to re-charge or re-focus? A fun little moment with Tiny Person reminded me to stand up for myself to protect my space. Shown notes and script available at https://moveyourdesk.com/?p=413
