04: Impact vs. Intention with Leadership Coach Jen Baggett Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

In Episode 3, I introduced the topic of Impact vs. Intention. We all have good intentions, right? Most people don't wake up in the morning intending to hurt others. For the most part, we all wake up and want to do good. But there's a disconnect between our intentions and the actual impact. This aligns with my beliefs on the differences between an influencer and a leader. Influencers just have a large reach. It doesn't matter what they're doing, what they're saying, or what they're influencing. A leader may not have a large reach, but they are making a large and positive impact on just a few people. We often measure our success based on how many people are following us on social media. But that isn't everything!

03: The messy gap between comparison and confidence Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

in this episode, we dig into the intersection between social media and real-life relationships and what can happen when we forget the real person on the other side of the screen.

Social media can be pretty great. It's such an important and FREE marketing tool for us and it's an amazing way to keep in touch with people all over the world. But social media isn't always a good thing. It can be too easy to hide behind the screen and to really hurt people, unintentionally and intentionally.

Recently, I've experienced first hand the trend of creatives removing every other creative from their feeds to avoid comparison, even if they know them in real life. I really believe that everyone who is a friend of mine is a friend in every realm of my life, whether that's my in-person life or my social life. In person relationships are valuable and all relationships we have in this world can impact our business and our success. I want to teach my daughters to watch other women succeed and to be ok with that and I try to model that in my day-to-day life.

If the problem is comparing ourselves to others, how do we get over that dreaded comparison? How do we gain confidence?
