Amy Feind Reeves is the founder and CEO of Job Coach Amy (@JobCoachAmy ) and shares the wisdom she has gained in the workplace from her 25 years as an executive hiring manager. She discusses the struggles in today’s job market and how management and employees have become too detached. What’s more, fewer people seem to be applying for jobs in the aftermath of Covid due to being shell-shocked and burned out from the way the workplace has evolved. The new generation of employees feel under-appreciated and are experiencing a lack of opportunities to grow within their workplace. To bridge the gap between management and employees, organizations must begin to build a culture of respect and value that facilitates opportunity and advancement with constructive feedback. Avoid management by least resistance and create a dedicated and passionate workforce for your business! 👱‍♀️ Amy Feind Reeves recently published a book called College to Career, Explained - which explains tools, skills, and con…

You can't find success until you stop comparing yourself to others and realize your true values. Dr. John Demartini (@DrDemartini ) is a renowned self-development author and shares his knowledge and wisdom on how to be accountable to your most authentic, successful self. Every time you put another person on a pedestal, you are depreciating yourself and misaligning yourself from your true values. The truth is that everybody has their own intelligence and areas of success based on their unique, core values, and our judgment of other people only obscures this. The key to success is self-accountability, owning your personal goals, and aligning the actions you make in life to your values. You are not missing what you see in others, so stop judging yourself and discover what’s important to you! 🫶 Stop being narcissistic and altruistic - maximize economic growth and self-worth: when we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for injected values from outer authorities and end up judg…

Listen in on the next episode of the Happy Productive Podcast

In this super exciting episode, we are talking about our upcoming 4-day Retreat happening in Montana in May. This will be our Unbreakable retreat for business owners to get clarity, build confidence and push their limits. But this is more than just a business retreat, no no, it is so unique because we are combining business and life coaching with a Spartan race to top it all off! If you’ve never heard of a Spartan race, it’s an obstacle course that’s become a huge part of my life. My sister Alesha got me into them, and from the moment I did one (and did not die), I was hooked. Last year I completed 12 Spartan Races, with the last 3 being a beast which are half marathons. Spartans have completely transformed my life, especially my mental toughness. And the amazing thing is that the tougher I’ve become physically, the more my business has grown. That is where the idea of the Unbreakable Retreat came from.  I am joined by three special guests this episode, Adrienne Garland, founder of …

I am back with a solo episode (it has been a while), but it feels so good to have an intimate chat with you all. In this episode, I share a couple of anecdotes that taught me great lessons about pace. What I learned was that when I overexert myself and push too hard, that can rob my joy. And when joy is missing in something that I do, I know that is when I need to pay attention and re-calibrate. In this go go go world we live in, we can move at such a fast pace that it comes at the expense of our own happiness. That is simply no way to live. In times when you feel like your pace is too fast, you are overexerting yourself, I invite you to take an honest look at the pace you are going and whether it is serving you at the highest level. Do you need to slow down just a little bit, just to that point where your joy comes back? On the flip side, if you are not making any progress on your goals, do you need to bump up the pace and start taking daily intentional action? In this episode, I …

Happy productive Episode 45: How To Change Your Mindset To Overcome Anything with John Davis When John Davis was 22 years old, he was told by doctors they were not sure if he’d ever walk again. John had picked up a heavy box of clay and broke his spine in two. He collapsed and was paralyzed. He was told for a fact he’d never have a physical career.

Happy Productive 44 - Why Food is the Gateway Into Ourselves With Heather Fleming Today I am joined by Heather Dawn (and no, we are not related), a Certified Clinical Nutritionist and the founder of Conscious Nutrition. Her mission is to help provide a solid foundation to teach others how to nourish themselves with their food. Heather is a recovering Type-A nutritionist seeking perfection, only to realize the body is brilliant, and we just have to learn how to listen. Our relationship with food can be quite complicated. Like any relationship, it can contain limiting beliefs, judgments, and habits that can hold us back from being the healthiest version of ourselves. Many of us have an emotional attachment to food, making it so difficult to restrict ourselves or follow deprivation diets. Taking a deeper look at our food habits can serve as a gateway into looking deeper within ourselves. Are we using food to numb out? Are we using food to fill a void? Are we using food because we have…

Happy Productive 42 - Learn How to Master the Art of Pivot and Restore Joy and Happiness In today’s solo episode I share an anecdote from a recent trip I took with my husband to Sedona for his 50th birthday. Nothing went according to plan, absolutely nothing, but it was a wonderful opportunity for me to practice surrendering and practicing the art of the pivot. When you make plans, life laughs right? Life will almost never go according to plan, and in those moments we absolutely have a choice whether we are going to let that ruin our moods, ruin our day, ruin our experience, or worse. When we choose to surrender and pivot instead we are choosing to be willing to go in a different direction. In that choice we open ourselves up to solutions and possibly even better outcomes. Relinquishing control and staying open to other possibilities has been such a key in my overall happiness. I truly believe mastering the art of the pivot is a really essential life skill. When I surrender to th…

“I have been a client of Jennifer's at Jennifer Dawn Coaching now for 14 months. I can't believe first of all that it's been that long, and I can't believe how much I have learned in that short period of time! Jennifer recommended to me and I started with Profit First, and I went through this process of learning the importance of really putting my profit as a priority, and how to save for taxes, and just to think differently, and how to value the time that I am working, and to reward myself. I never really thought that was possible and Jennifer helped me realize that. So first, we did profit first, and then I went through this amazing process called cashflow fix, which was a game-changer for me. It's still something that I do, almost quarterly. I look at all of the different expenses that I have at my business and Jennifer really coaches me on ways that I can save ways to think differently. Then I started working with her on measuring my KPIs, my key performance indicators. F…
