COMPETITIVE CALL - Present the Problem Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

A competitive call to set you up to avoid wasting time, negative talk, and overwhelm!

When we can acknowledge a problem at hand and rectify it we are becoming a force of productivity that will undoubtedly steer us towards our optimal selves.

That said, too many of us are guilty of losing sight of problems though negative talk and conversations that become less and less about the initial problem, to the point where the conversation itself is now the problem!

Steve is here to make you more conscious of this potential pitfall in your make up that, if worked on, will lead you to competitive levels fit for greater success!

Lee Povey, Leadership & Executive Coach Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

First interview of 2022 arrives with our guest, Lee Povey who provides insight into some of the key tools and perspectives in his coaching methods. This episode is about equipping you with the conscious tools required to bring your best self to your career daily and give yourself the opportunity to compete at the highest levels.

Heralding from the UK and a former coaching career as an international cycling performance coach, Lee has now spent most of the last 2 years establishing himself as a leadership & executive coach. He has established his own company - Maximize your Potential Coaching (Website) - and has invested a lot of time in establishing the philosophies he is impacting clients with today.

We start by discussing confidence and establishing buy in from those you oversee and how we can do this by both illustrating and explaining why our methods can have impact. From here, Lee goes into the notion of how we "show up" on a daily basis and how this dictates how we react to the stimulus around us.

Lee explains the impact of coming from a place of love in the way we go about our days and seek empathy in our behavioral tendencies. Furthermore, we leave ourselves open to opportunities for expansion in human connection and personal growth when we see the world from this perspective.

Finally, one of the lasting points of emphasis Lee offers is that of prioritizing and enjoying the process over the result, and see the success in being able to actually keep the process as the priority.

Lee references two books within the conversation as well that he acknowledges for having great impact on his coaching methods

The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership (Buy here)
Man's Search for Meaning (Buy Here)

Competitive Call - Eliminating the "Good Enough" Mindset Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to a competitive call to start out 2022 as I present the notion of how we have been sold on being good enough throughout our lives.

Whether we are willing to accept it or not a great deal of our upbringing was based around satisfying standards and doing enough. This mindset got us through school and into our careers, but when I look back on my passions as a child and look at the passions I pursue today, they were born out of an exposure to an elite mindset and standard.

So what came first? The passion or the exposure to elite performance? Through this 10 minute episode I present the notion that I pursued sports growing up thanks to being educated and exposed to elite level sport.

So wherever you are in your journey, what role has being exposed to excellence played in establishing your passion in life?

Benjamin Alexander - The One Man Jamaican Ski Team Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

It's the last episode of the year 2021 and we welcome in a man whose dreams will hopefully be realized at the very early part of 2022. Benjamin Alexander joins the show to provide insight into the reasons behind his pursuit of a dream that started at the incredible age of 32.

Having spent the majority of his adult life establishing himself as a world-renowned DJ, Benjamin experienced his first trip down the slopes at 32 and decided this was no ordinary experience, in fact it was so impactful it would change the course of the next 6 years.

Within the episode we gain insight into some of the traits and experiences that have made Ben not only the success that he has been up to this point, but what has driven him to seek such unique goals.

The willingness to embrace humility is at the heart of our discussion, while we also learn that the competitor within Benjamin is one few can imagine going up against. The second half of the discussion focuses on adaptability as Benjamin sheds light on how he has handled transitions and new adventures in life, a perspective we can all stand to learn from.

Whatever your competitive journey has been to this point I can guarantee this is a story and discussion you want to hear, and Benjamin's mindset is one that will challenge you to want to grow and improve upon.

Make sure to learn more and follow Benjamin's journey by going to his page Benji.ski and of course head to Careercompetitor.com to learn all about the show and our services

Social Media Consultant - Danielle Chylinski Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

The founder of Chylinski Media and social media & marketing guru, Danielle Chylinski joins the show as she delivers incredible insight on authenticity, community, and accessibility.

Competitively driven to bring her truest self to her work, Danielle is an example of what we can achieve when we recognize our skillset and believe in the impact we can have.

In an industry where there are plenty of well-established methods to building business, Danielle has built a marketing business that ensures the client they'll receive what they came to her for - an online presence that conveys exactly who they are and what makes them great.

An entrepreneur heavy episode, the topic of Authenticity is at the heart of our discussion and something Danielle presents through her journey to realizing she had the ability to make an impact in what she does today. Furthermore, she prioritizes getting to know exactly who her clients are as people and businesses before presenting any information about costs and process. Lastly, Danielle has always leaned into opportunities that involve unknowns and areas she is not educated on, embracing so called weaknesses by acknowledging a need to learn, while emphasizing her ability to still contribute in other areas.

Find out everything you need to know about Danielle at https://chylinskimedia.com and be sure to leave us a rating for this episode on Apple Podcasts (5 stars please!)

Lena Spotleson - Experienced Account Manager, Coach, & Stage 4 Cancer Survivor Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

We welcome in the Director of Corporate Relations with the American Cancer Society, Lena Spotleson who also makes time to be the Head JV Girls Basketball Coach for North High School in Arizona.

Lena brings to the show a competitive edge and level of fortitude that we are fortunate to be able to learn from, while also providing personal insight into how her life was changed forever 15 years ago.

A born and bred competitor who, through the game of basketball, learned how to handle setbacks and defeats in ways where she knew she had to simply keep on going, no matter what, and get the job done. Those lessons from basketball were crucial when life handed her the most difficult of challenges in the form of a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

Lena offers insight into the very mindset that supported her through times when others may have chosen to succumb to the moment. We also learn about striving for a proactive approach during adversity in how you choose to search for answers and refuse to be left in the dark. Finally, we learn how we can use our experiences to inspire and impact others by leaning on our hardships when coaching and mentoring others.

Be sure to head to www.cancer.org to learn more about the American Cancer Society and the work they do towards cancer research and supporting those impacted by cancer as well.

Larry Long Jr - The Chief ENERGY Officer you have to meet! Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Competing with yourself is what this show has been built upon, and Larry Long Jr. has such high standards he lives by that the only competitor worthy of going toe-to-toe with him would be himself! Making a career out of leaning into greatness, Larry joins us to light the competitive fire within you to find intent in your work, to disrupt any comfort you are living life by, and seek that optimal version of yourself. Buckle in for the ball of energy that is Larry Long Jr.

An elite baseball player that sunk his competitive teeth into the world of sales post playing days, Larry established his own company, Larry Long Jr. Enterprises as recently as March of this year. In that short time he has established himself as the MC on the mic that all conferences and virtual events the world over want as their frontman, but his services very much only start there.

We quickly get into the foundations and values that Larry prioritizes in his work and life in order to be the example for others of what it means to establish excellence as your minimum standard. Furthermore, Larry emphasizes the power of "intent", how we must overcome our fears, and the responsibility we have to ourselves to "seize the day".

There is so much to unpack in this 30 minute conversation that I am sure you will want to learn more about the man himself, so be sure to go to larrylongjr.com to learn about his services and how to connect.

As always, subscribe to the show, leave us a review if you are on Apple Podcasts, and head to CareerCompetitor.com to learn more about the show and the services I, Steve Mellor have to offer.
