Disruption Is Necessary For Destiny

50th Episode Celebration

We are celebrating our 50th Episode with Grammy Award Winning Producer and Flipside of Adversity Engineer, Keith Pelzer.
Sometimes new tasks can become the most important part of our lives. But we have to take the risk first, in order to achieve new things. In March of 2020, Living Strong Consulting had to create a huge pivot in order to survive and; often, choosing the person to bring your vulnerable ideas to can catapult or crush your confidence to succeed. We have had success beyond anything I could have imagined over the last two years, and people often ask … How do you keep growing against rollercoaster odds?
Well… “The reward is in the risk. No one ever ascended a mountain without risk.” There have been three key components to our climb during the pandemic: Faith, Friendship, and Flipside stories. And the first step was connecting with a like-minded partner in crime willing to climb, dream, and create right along side of my adventure. Pastor, Producer, and Creative Keith Pelzer has been that person. It all started with a “YES” and possibility grew from there.
What are you hesitating to say yes to because you can not be certain of the outcome?
How are you allowing growth to remain on pause because you are afraid of risk?
Are you playing safe and sabotaging your plan?
Log into my conversation with the thought partner behind our radical shift, innovative changes, and traction for growth. We will share strategies, mindset, and technical tips to continuing to innovate in a season of change. We are not looking to bounce back to anything. Our bounce is forward with a momentum of an up and down climb with risks and learned lessons at each twist and turn. But we are not turning back. Join us on 4/28 @5pm EST for a lot of laughs and practical tips for your Flip!

Overcoming Yourself is a Leadership Requirement

Being a great leader means setting the emotional tone & example – in good times and perhaps more importantly in bad.
Inevitably, we face change every day of our lives which can have a different impact on the quality and effectiveness of our leadership. How we make sense of change will affect how we process change and our ability to respond in innovative and creative ways. Leaders who gain a greater insight in dealing with personal and organizational change can increase personal margin and manage toxic stress in order to take better care of themselves and find ways to translate perspectives about change into their leadership and environments. Our mindset of endurance as leaders directly connects to our potential for growth in change and success.

Facing Fear

Fear was something that took over my life for many years. I was afraid of everything. Afraid of failure, afraid of what people thought of me, afraid of success, afraid of being seen, afraid of messing things up, and afraid of being what God has called me to be, just to name a few. It dictated everything in my life. When I looked up and saw that I was moving but standing still, I knew it was time to overcome it. Fear had crept up on me without my permission. Today I stand ready and willing to face the fear that has tried to control my life. I once heard someone say, the only way to overcome fear is to do whatever it is that you are afraid of. I’m so excited to share that in this season of my life, I am doing everything that fear told me I couldn’t do.
