  • Join us today as Colleen gives her take on Servant Leadership and how we can become a better leader.

    In this episode, I dive deep into the traits of a successful leader. I share valuable insights on how you can become a better leader by embodying servant leadership. Here are three key takeaways from the episode:

    1. Honesty is Key
    Honesty is the foundation of great leadership. Being authentic and transparent with those you lead and those who lead you fosters trust and respect. By embracing honesty, you create a culture of openness and integrity within your team.

    2. Inspire and Motivate
    Great leaders are forward-thinking visionaries who inspire and motivate others to take action. By enrolling people in your vision and inspiring them to be part of something bigger, you create a sense of purpose and drive that propels your team forward.

    3. Serve and Sacrifice
    Servant leadership is about serving and sacrificing for the benefit of others. By focusing on nurturing and empowering those around you, you build influence, loyalty, and ultimately earn true leadership. It's not about titles but about the impact you have on those you lead.

    I encourage you to listen to the full episode for more insights and practical tips on how to cultivate these traits in your leadership journey. Let's strive to be servant leaders who inspire, empower, and make a positive impact on those around us.

  • The Power Of Brand Consistency

    Episode #150 Join us today as Colleen Interview's Susan Friesen on Take the Leap. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of brand positioning with the incredible Susan Friesen, visionary brand strategist and founder of eVision Media. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one! Here are three key takeaways from this episode:

    Brand Positioning is More Than Just a Logo

    Susan emphasizes that brand positioning goes beyond having a fancy logo or a well-designed website. It encompasses every touchpoint with your business, from your visual identity to your voice, messaging, and even the emotions you evoke in your audience. Consistency across all platforms is crucial to building trust and attracting the right clients.

    Get Clarity on Your Ideal Client

    Susan highlights the importance of understanding your ideal client on a deeper level. It's not just about demographics; it's about diving into their why, their emotional charge, and the transformation they seek. By aligning your brand with your ideal client's needs and desires, you can create a powerful connection that resonates and builds trust.

    Don't Confuse Your Customers

    One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is confusing their customers with inconsistent branding. Susan shares a cautionary tale of a business called Lunchbox, which had a misleading name and logo that didn't align with its actual services. It's essential to ensure that your brand accurately represents what you offer and makes it easy for customers to understand and connect with your business.

  • Episode #145: Breaking The Silence: Empowering Survivors Of Abuse

    Join us today as Colleen Interview's Michelle R Jewsbury on Take the Leap.

    In this episode, we delved into some thought-provoking topics that I believe will resonate with all of you. Here are three key takeaways that I want to share with you:

    The Power of Vulnerability: Michelle and I discussed the liberating experience of sharing our stories and embracing vulnerability. I shared a personal anecdote about a moment when I stood in front of an audience and confessed, "I cheated on my husband." The reaction from the audience was a mix of shock and empathy. We both emphasized the importance of being honest, transparent, and humble speakers, as it creates a safe space for others to share their pain and trauma. Remember, your story has the power to inspire and connect with others. The Impact of Empathy: We explored the transformative power of empathy in society. Michelle beautifully highlighted how empathy can change the trajectory of our world. By caring and loving one another, we can create a ripple effect of positive change. Let's strive to be more empathetic towards others, as it not only benefits them but also contributes to a more compassionate and understanding society. Taking the Leap: Michelle's message resonated deeply with me as she encouraged listeners to step forward and take action. We discussed the importance of recognizing your worth and embracing your uniqueness. You are the only you that has ever been and ever will be. You matter, and you have the ability to make a significant impact. If you're ready to make a change, Michelle's nonprofit organization is the perfect resource to support you on your journey.
