The Introvert Entrepreneur

****Proud to be named as one of the “Top 25 Business Podcasts for Entrepreneurs” by Entrepreneur.com (Dec 2014) and featured in the “Inspiring Women’s Voices” category on iTunes (March 2015).**** This show is a lively space for conversation, learning and sharing. Through interviews and discussions, we’ll talk about business and life from an introvert perspective, providing resources, advice and inspiration. Show topics fall into four general categories: * Entrepreneurship: self-promotion and networking; productivity; defining success; moving through fear, uncertainty and doubt; creating focus and intention; finding your voice; and goal setting * Leadership: living your vision and values; showing up with authenticity; being a leader among your peers; communication; and courage * Relationships: partnerships and collaboration; forming support networks; and balancing your time and energy between your family, your business and yourself * Personal Growth: self-confidence; self-talk; tapping in to personal power; managing your energy; taking care of yourself and all of your parts, including the physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and creative

Ep172: Endings and Beginnings [Blogcast]

Endings and Beginnings: It’s been a great 8 ½ year run, and I’ve made the difficult decision to come to completion with the show. Rather than have a final interview with someone – I mean, who wants to be your last guest?! – I’m going to share with you some of the story of how I arrived at this point and what comes next. My hope is that you join with me on that “what’s next” part of the journey, and in hearing my story, it supports you and provides some food for thought about any pivots you have going on in your life.
