Curious what everyone defaults to… Feel free to explain the why behind it 😂 It’s funny how a few emojis can say a lot about how we think, communicate, and even how we show up. Drop yours below 👇🏽 Also, quick reminder, our 2nd Accountability Call is next Saturday as we wrap up Q1.

I know we've been waiting for this for soooooooooooo long, so here we go 😎 Quick note before we start, these videos are simple, no crazy edits or anything like that. So I created a cheat sheet for you to follow along (attached below). It has the main points, a quick summary of the lesson, and space for you to take notes as you go. Video 1 of 10 — Internal Dialogue Let’s start somewhere most people ignore. Before communication with others… there’s communication with yourself. And this is where most problems actually begin. You might recognize this: • You stay quiet even when you have something to say • You overthink what you want to say • You delay conversations you know you should have • You replay situations in your head over and over By the time the conversation happens, your confidence, tone, and energy are already affected. That’s the real problem. It’s not the conversation… It’s the story you're telling yourself before it. In this video, we break that down. We talk about how your internal dialogue shapes everything, and how small shifts can completely change how you show up. Better communication doesn’t start when you speak. It starts with how you think. If you apply this, you’ll start to: • feel clearer going into conversations • stop overthinking as much • show up with more confidence • handle situations more intentionally 💬 Reflection when going into the next conversation, meeting, presentation... What outcome do I want? What story am I telling myself right now? How do I want to handle/communicate this? Think about a conversation you could have this week. What will you do differently based on what you learned here? Share your thoughts in the comments if you'd like.

Here’s a nice metaphor for making decisions I learned recently while listening to a James Clear clip (you can watch it here: Become the Type of Person Who Shows Up | James Clear (The Diary Of A CEO) - YouTube). I also found the Clear newsletter which discusses this topic: 3-2-1: On hats, haircuts, and tattoos - James Clear He categorizes decisions into three types: hats, haircuts and tattoos. Hats are easy and quick to change. Don’t like the diet you’re on? Put on a different hat and try something else. Don’t like the book you’re reading? Well, it’s easy enough to shelve it and grab another one. Essentially, changes are quick and easy, and there are seldom significant consequences to making the wrong decision or changing your mind in the hat category. Haircuts, on the other hand, take longer to change, and may have some consequences that last for a while. Like a bad haircut, you may look or feel stupid for a while due to a bad decision of this type, and suffer short-term because of it, but ultimately, the hair grows back and you get over it in a couple of months. Life rolls along as before. Tattoos, however, are serious decisions with lasting long-term consequences. They are difficult, if not impossible, to reverse, and may lead to problems that last for years and/or aren’t completely fixable at all. We really have to be careful with these decisions – like thinking through getting that tattoo more than once before really committing to it. (As an aside, I don’t have any tattoos, so at least I don’t have any regrets regarding decisions there, haha.)🤣 According to Clear, the majority of decisions in life are hats and haircuts, and I’d tend to agree. Anyways, I hope you found this framework useful! What are some decisions that you have made / are currently making in each category? Share some stories!😁

Let's do this again haha 😎 Pick your side on these: 1. Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner? 2. Pancakes or Waffles? 3. Should you wet your toothbrush before putting toothpaste on it? 4. Should you floss before or after brushing? 5. Are sandals shoes? 6. Coffee or Tea? 7. Finished basement or nice yard? 8. Morning workout or evening workout? 9. Window seat or aisle seat on a flight? Bonus: 1️⃣ Which answer will probably get you judged the most? 😂 2️⃣ Which one of these opinions are you absolutely refusing to change? 😌 3️⃣ Which one of these would you defend in court? 😂 Time to have some FUN!

Okay, something fun for Sunday: the good ol' "would you rather" game! You gotta choose one side. No fence-sitting! 🤣 Post your own "A or B" question and answer everyone else's! I'll start: Would you rather eat your favourite meal every time you eat for the rest of your life (cannot add or remove anything from it), or eat something different every meal, but you have no idea what it'll be in advance (a mix of diferent things from different places, healthy, unhealthy, etc. -- no control). Your turn! 😁
