Do You Have A Couple Of Minutes

Episode 6-432 Forgiveness Today I want to talk to you about Forgiveness, because it is a powerful tool for you and for those you extend forgiveness to. In our personal and professional lives, situations will occur where forgiveness is an option.  While we may forgive, we may be on alert to ensure we do not become subject to a similar happening. When we forgive, we give ourselves permission to move forward from a learned position. Forgiveness provides a new starting point. Forgiveness allows one to move forward with positive energy and release the negative energy that accompanies resentment and distrust. So, I encourage you to be courageous in using the powerful tool of forgiveness and move forward from a place of greater wisdom, and positivity.

Episode 6-431 Taking Advantage Let's Talk about Taking Advantage Today I want to talk about Taking Advantage of Your Opportunities because it may expand your reach and positive influence.  Working hard is honorable, so is recognizing when you are in a unique position to advance positive influence and positive impact. We must change our perspective to accept our circumstances and the opportunities that they provide and allow. Take the opportunity to do good as the opportunity presents itself. You may be in a unique situation to take action that others don’t have the opportunity or ability to take and it may inspire great positive impact.

Episode 6-430 Dig Deeper Let's Talk about Digging Deep Today I want to talk about digging deeper, because I believe when we dig deep we tap into our greatest potential. When we dig deeper we identify our unique talents and the strengths we can develop. Like the process of excavation, things may be revealed in greater detail when we dig expectantly. Keep digging deep to explore just what makes you tick and what aligns with your life purpose.

Episode 6-429: Better Not Bitter Let's Talk about Being Better I learned early in life that there would be injustices, things that don’t seem fair or equitable.  There will be circumstances out of our control that negatively impact us. However, within the circumstances of injustices or when life seems to be unfair, we have a choice to become bitter or better.    I remember years ago hearing the term of “righteous indignation.” It was used in a religious context as a strong perspective and feeling that elicits motivation to act, and to change an existing circumstance for the better. I was encouraged by this idea. I want to encourage you, to choose to be better versus bitter through the difficult circumstances of life.  Be a positive change agent. Sometimes you are uniquely positioned because of your experience and sphere of influence to be able to positively influence change. Being bitter is a choice, being better is a choice – choose better.   Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance #BetterNotBitter #Better

Episode 6-428: Displacement   Let's Talk about Displacement Sometimes we can inadvertently displace our emotions onto people around us…and others can do the same to us.  It’s important to recognize displacement so that we can try to avoid that behavior, and so that we can recognize when others may be doing.  So what are some of the things we can do to recognize displacement? ·       Ask ourselves what was the source of the emotional energy and why ·       Ask ourselves if the level of emotional energy is appropriate for the situation ·       Check to see if our energy and perspective is in sync or out of sync with others ·       Imagine how the situation might be impacted for the better or worse if we were not involved. ·       Be honest with ourselves about whether we showed up with positive or negative energy   The next time communications seem a little out of line for a situation, I encourage you to take inventory of the circumstances, first starting with you.  Ask, what energy or behaviors you brought to the situation and were they appropriate. If they were, now you can evaluate if others might be displacing emotion and you can manage your interaction accordingly.   Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance #Displacement

Episode 6-427: Be Present Let's Talk about Present to Win Life can move at a pretty fast pace. While we want to keep up and may need to keep up, it is important to be present.  It seems today that we make plans for the future, and many times when we get there, we are preoccupied with more plans for the future.  When we are present we give ourselves - the ability to connect - the gift of focus. - new opportunities, experiences, insights, and learning - an opportunity to be relax, unwind, meditate, regain our energy. So, today, I just want to encourage you to Be Present in the moment, don’t fear what you might miss out on in the future, when you have the gift of the present.  Perhaps there is more to the phrase “Must Be Present to Win,” than we have realized!

Episode 6-426: The End Goal Let's Talk about perspective In life, it’s important to put things into to keep the end goal in mind.  Having an end goal perspective can help us to take appropriate action, to use the appropriate tools for forward progress, and to avoid dwelling on things in the past that are no longer relevant. So, let me encourage you to keep things in perspective, keep the end goal in mind and keep the flow forward going!

Episode 6-425: Choose to Engage Let's Talk about engaging Have you ever been in a setting where you didn’t know anyone?  How did it feel when someone said hello, welcomed you, and engaged in conversation?  How does it feel to enter and leave a setting without engaging? I want to encourage you to prepare yourself in advance to choose how you might engage, or maybe just being open to engage, to go with the flow, to learn something new and to share something of value with others. When we choose to positively engage with others, we can all benefit.   Let's Talk about engaging Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance#engage #engaging #engagement

Episode 6-424: Impressions - Let's Talk About Impressions Not being aware of the stronghold of stereotyping and bias can lead to bad decisions on our part.  As a person in a position of power or authority, it is important to identify ways we can help ensure the most objectivity in our evaluations, processes, and actions. It’s important to find a way to realize the talent of those who look to us for leadership. As a person in any position, it is important to understand how we influence other’s first impression of us. It is also important to present ourselves authentically.  It's difficult to completely eliminate or suppress our biases and preferences. However, it may serve us well to be conscious of them ,so that we can base our final impressions and decisions upon truth, facts, and direct interaction. The next time you are making first impressions, ask yourself if the basis of the impression is objective and if not – try again. www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled

Episode 423:  Reward without Responsibility Let's Talk About Experience Sometimes people want the reward without the responsibility, they want to have the growth without the growth experience. The problems, (that can be small, big, complex,) come with experience that prepare us for additional responsibility.    It's the stuff noone wants to go through, that are often the experiences that bring some clarity, focus, goal commitment, courage, and embolden us to strive and to thrive despite the circumstances pressing us to give up or settle. Reward has to have something to acknowledge, new capabilities, experiences, and milestones.   Experience prepares us to best handle the opportunities in our future. Keep going, it’s all part of the journey, it takes time. There is no reward without responsibility, it’s all the “stuff of life” that provides perspective and reveals the true value of the reward.   www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled

Episode 422: Rules, Fog, and Freedom Let's Talk About Freedom   There always seems to be differing perspectives regarding rules and guidance.  Some people are looking for rules to ensure they stay inside the lines, and move forward in a predictive manner.  Others want to understand the guidance as a basis from which to expand. In our lives we will have rules and guidance, think creatively and look for what the rules afford that might otherwise not have be an option.    www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance #freedom Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled

Episode 6-421: Get to Know You Let's Talk about Knowing Yourself Three things to get to know yourself better: a.      Check-in with others to ensure you are hitting the target with your desired communication and intended outcome b.      What’s obvious to you may not be obvious to others, and people can tolerate even negative obvious obstacles c.      Knowledge invites change – especially if the person is willing to make change. Get to know you, and take time to understand others. It just may be another key to living a fulfilling life. www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance #KnowThyeself #KnowYourself

Episode 420: Courage, Resilience, and Compassion - Let's Talk about Remembering 9/11 22 years ago on September 11th, 2001, the United States and the World experienced unthinkable violence and incredible loss. The tragedy that is known as September 11th, was a terrible time that was became a venue for great displays of courage, resilience, and compassion. Courage: Many risked their lives and gave their lives to help and save others, they confronted evil and violence to protect others and they succeeded – even though great loss – they succeeded.  They taught us that we must confront the monsters of evil, no matter the cost. Resilience: Those affected mentally, physically, and through loss, taught us we must endure and get through hard times.  We forge paths not only for ourselves, but we provide guideposts for others.  Along our journey, we can accept help, offer help, give help. Our resilience doesn’t mean we forget, in means that in spite of our challenges, we can determine to live our best lives. We are not defined by our circumstances and experiences, but we can determine to use our experiences to our advantage despite our circumstances. Compassion: That horrible day and since then we have witnessed the compassion of strangers.  People coming together in thought, in action, in person to support one another. Several years ago, I was able to visit the 9/11 memorial.  There were people from all around the world coming together in great human connectedness to reflect on the magnitude and impact of the events of 9/11. There was a connection in the commonality of sharing that experience and there was compassion that transcended the difference in humanity, and even of culture and language. We are reminded through all of this of our ability to connect and care for one another. In conclusion: So especially today, but also every day, let us take time to remember lives lost and impacted by 9/11 and let us be encouraged to lead our lives courageously, resiliently, and compassionately. www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance

Episode 6-419: Complain or Create Change Let's Talk about Intentional Impact It's easy to complain about things to see what is wrong or not going the way we think they should go from our perspective. However, maybe our challenge when things aren't going exactly the way that we want them to go is to see them as an opportunity for improvement – for us to contribute to or even lead that improvement.  Other times, it might be an opportunity for us to understand that there may be more ways to do things than the way we might choose, to complete a task, or to move things forward.  When we are faced with the life test to complain or make change it might be best to look for the way we can uniquely contribute to positive change or provide positive impact.   The next time you are faced with an opportunity to complain or make positive change, choose positive change.  Choose making a positive difference. Choose to increase your skill set or apply your skill set so that you can make a difference not only for yourself, but for those around you and for those that may come after you.   www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance #createchange #lifetests Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled Like and Share this Podcast with Others so that they can Join our Learning Journey!

Episode 6-418 Assume The Best Let's Talk about Seeing the Best What if we assumed the best? I bet we’d find a lot more good.  Now, this is not to say we won’t find things that could benefit from improvement, but it’s really about our filter and perspective that give way to our interpretation of matters and interactions. We can try to reflect the very behavior or circumstances we despise, or we can project an exemplary behavior or interactions.  When we assume the best in others it puts us in a better position for a positive response and interaction.  Assume the best, and you will likely see the good that is always around us. www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled Like and Share this Podcast with Others so that they can Join our Learning Journey!

Episode 6-417 Second Hand Information Let's Talk about Speaking with Integrity Have you played a game where a message is relayed from one person to another and in the end the message is distorted from it’s original version?  There are some important takeaways in that experience. - good intentions can still result in unwanted circumstances, - our experience impacts the interpretation of information, - be really careful with our words because of the impact they have, - the purest version is usually at the source – the source can provide the best interpretation. Remember that the thing about hearsay, is you receive it through someone else's filter. That filter may be accurate for them, but may not be that accurate for you and then it gets further distorted by your own frame of reference. Learn to regard second hand information as something that needs to be validated at the source and something that in most cases should not be shared. www.petrinagooch.com 2023 Book Publications: Leading Self, Leading Others – 20 Inspiring Topics for Personal and Team Leadership and Professional Growth – available on Amazon and Kindle LiftOff to Landing – Revealing Stories of Strangers in Flight – Flight 2023 – available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BZWZQQNH/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-346228&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_346228_rh_us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #DoYouHaveACoupleOfMinutes #Inspire #Think #Learn #Grow #Fulfilled #LiveFulfilled #Liberate #Illuminte #Amplify #PositiveChange #Leadership #Mentor #Coach #Develop #Lead #Listen #Encourage #Feelings #Intent #Expectations #PetrinaGooch #Petrina #TakeTheGoodTakeTheBad #Perfection #Imperfections #ShowingUp #ShowUpOpen #Self #SelfImprovement #SelfCare #Change #Listen #Understand #Communication #Awareness #enlightenment #problemsolving #decisionmaking #relevance Do You Have a Couple of Minutes - Inspiring Topics to Help You Think, Learn, Grow, and Live Fulfilled Like and Share this Podcast with Others so that they can Join our Learning Journey!
