Ready to get coached?
 
I take you through 5 journaling prompts throughout today's discussion on this episode, and you will be able to explore why you may not be respecting the boundaries of others or perhaps others may be breaching your own boundaries.
 
Breached boundaries break down relationships because it erodes trust.
 
It's all related to a free digital tool for you that I developed. It's the NSC Boundary Breakers Tool. It's part assessment, part-5-day-personal journaling exercise, and executive coach all in one virtual box. It will get underneath whether you're the controller or if you are being controlled, or both.
 
There is even a Trust Erosion Metric that may lead you to insights about your relationships and why there are snags in certain processes.
 
You know, you have to let go of a lot to get to that C-Suite.

We talk about what it was like going through the thick of the pandemic with our corporate executive and small business personal brands as they considered how to position themselves during that unimaginable time, and I also asked Nick to read some tealeaves as businesses begin to look at operating at full capacity and companies begin to invite workers back to their headquarters.
 
What's a brand to do?  How then, should a brand act?  Are you going to wait and see?  Or will you be intentional?  We talk about where a plan will get you...and how far taking bold steps will take you.
 
And as always, we go to church.  Stay up late with us tonight.  The show will begin streaming after 9 p.m. CT./10 p.m. ET.

My guest is someone who is absolutely leaning out to lean in. Shannon LaNier (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#) isn't only a news anchor for Houston's CW39, he is also the ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Heming, and a dedicated husband and father.
 
And you best believe he is leveraging all three. Recently, he was in an extraordinary spread in Smithsonian Magazine that had side by side photos of him and his presidential forefather...and the resemblance was remarkable even to him.

We’re throwing it back to last spring this Thursday, when Darryl M. Bell and I took on the campus of @thelanecollege at their first ever leadership conference. ICYMI, It was the second time the podcast recorded live, and it was the first ever double episode. It was also the show that catapulted the show to number 6 on Apple Podcasts Business/Business News with a great tailwind from the first live recorded episode that rounded out women’s history month the week before with the Hidden Figures in Sports on behalf of the Black Sports Network of North Texas. Travel back down memory lane with me this Thursday and relive these compelling conversations with one of the stars of the best television sitcoms to ever air on television, A Different World, and the President of Lane College, Dr. Logan Hampton. We also detail a very moving visit to the National Civil Rights Museum. First show will drop after midnight ET, the other will drop at noon on Thursday.
