279 The Art of Conversation
Understanding what we can offer and what is needed in each situation is paramount to our success as individuals. While it is always great to connect and share our stories with others, we need to learn how to answer every question posed to us by either finding someone to teach us how or to learn what answer isn’t resonating with our audience and learning how to communicate more effectively with those around us.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Brian Glibkowski discuss the importance of conversation in all its forms and how we utilize our strengths and tools in order to communicate with others in a way that is constructive, fulfilling, and progressive to our growth and goals.

Highlights
We’re all on our own personal quests.
Procedure is just as important as storytelling, it’s the context that defines which is needed.
Honoring the questions others ask and offering details when needed.
Quotes
“I was focusing on questions but I wasn’t focusing on the answers they wanted and needed.”
“It took me a while to realize you need to ask and answer all of the questions and usually for important conversations you need balance and look at what people care about.”
“Even though we may have our strengths and preferences, to navigate the world effectively we have to be able to ask and answer all the questions.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
How are you answering the questions that people are asking you? Are you considering all the ways that they are taking in your answers? Because if you’re not, that’s kind of the opposite of active listening.
And, as always, thank you for listening.

About Sarah
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

278 Utilizing Your Natural Talents While Living With Intention
Variety is the spice of life as the saying goes, and that also applies to the conversations we have with others. Through these important conversations that diversify our knowledge of others we can in turn learn about ourselves and the skills we can bring to any environment we find ourselves in.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Sharon Seivert discuss the importance of finding people and places that compliment and help apply the natural talents that are unique to each individual in a constructive way that helps everyone flourish.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Sharon Seivert discuss the importance of finding people and places that compliment and help apply the natural talents that are unique to each individual in a constructive way that helps everyone flourish.
Highlights
People are multidimensional and it’s important to have constructive conversations with them.
Utilizing your gifts and talents to bring happiness and fulfillment to yourself.
Having a sense of purpose to be devoted to but also to not be rigid and allowing yourself to be flexible to find what matters.
Holding space so that another can heal and find their way.
Quotes
"God knows we need everybody to bring their gifts to the world now in the state of transition that we are in. This is the moment that we want to support everybody in doing this. To the listeners out there; get on with it because the world needs your gifts and you will be so happy and satisfied if you bring them."
“It’s really extraordinary how the human spirit can recalibrate.”
“When you give a helping hand to someone they can do it, sometimes that’s all they need is just that reach out, a couple of tools, someone who believes in them, and some really practical stuff to do, and we can move that needle. And they can transform their lives, but they are doing it.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
What will you do with some nugget that you took away from this conversation? What small step can you take to find your natural talent or if you already know what it is, what small step can you take tomorrow to start living it with intention?
And, as always, thank you for listening.

277 Stretch and Grow
Throughout life we are met with adversity, stagnation, and breaking points that make us contemplate what the next step in our journey should be. Sometimes that step is unsure and frightening, oftentimes we can’t even see where we are going, but if you keep moving and allow yourself room to bend, you will come to a better place.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Mark Reid discuss the importance of allowing oneself to stretch and try something new in order to grow and find peace and fulfillment in life.

Highlights

Live your life the way you want to on your own terms.
Quotes

“I think travel and education are the two most important things you can do in your life.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
What is one small thing that you would like to change about you, about what you do, about who you are, about how you react? Are you defensive and you want to change that? What is it that you want to change? It’s up to you.
And, as always, thank you for listening.

276 Finding Your Niche
Living in an age that is so polarized it is more important than ever to care for the communities we are a part of. Like the squirrel that stores a nut that sprouts into a sapling, it’s up to us and our agency to make a change not just for our community but for ourselves as well, because even a small change is still a change and all niches in our environment need to be filled.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Hauson Le discuss how the division within our communities can be changed through our actions and by maintaining a hopeful impact, despite how frightening and anxiety-inducing challenging such adversity can be.

Highlights
Doing what you want even if you face adversity.
Trying something new and unknown can sometimes lead to the best paths.
Just focus on being happy and on what matters to you.
Quotes
“My mom raised me always saying “Just focus on being happy, it’s not about the money. Just be happy, that is all I want for you, I’m proud of you if you’re happy.” and you know you can get into a bunch of psychology and that, but I just focused on fulfillment. That was the first thing I did. For me a career is all about fulfillment, and how do I be fulfillment throughout this journey.”
“We need to be able to imagine alternative outcomes and futures that can happen even when everything looks dark, even when everything looks bleak.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
What are your predictions for the future now? Are they positive? Is there something you need to change so that they become positive? And what are the two steps you can take tomorrow to change it so that your prediction shifts?
And, as always, thank you for listening.

275 Staying In Alignment Despite Chaos and Negativity
Biases and skeptics exist in everything, however it’s how we deal with this negativity that defines who we are and how we are going to grow. How we address these perceptions and skepticisms is what defines who we are as individuals.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Crystal Whiteakre discuss how important it is to act with compassion and stay in alignment with your values even in the midst of chaos, or the perception of chaos.

Biases and skeptics exist in everything, however it’s how we deal with this negativity that defines who we are and how we are going to grow. How we address these perceptions and skepticisms is what defines who we are as individuals.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Crystal Whiteakre discuss how important it is to act with compassion and stay in alignment with your values even in the midst of chaos, or the perception of chaos.
Highlights
How do you deal with Skeptics?
Acknowledging that certain people won't give you the support you need and seeking it out.
The perception of chaos in a room despite there being no chaos and working together to address perceptions using healthy communication.
Quotes
“Just pause. Start there. And in that pause that should give you the space to tune into your awareness. So when you're tuning into your awareness, what are you aware of around you that's happening, what are you aware of that's happening within you, and how you are being impacted or activated in any way- Or excited. Whatever that looks like. And that third piece is compassion, so whatever comes next after that pause and after you tune into your awareness, whatever comes out after that needs to be done with compassion even if it's just for yourself.”
“Give yourself compassion and do the same thing for other people.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
Where will you disrupt bias in your life? How can you do this work to understand what your values are and making sure you’re in alignment with them with all of your actions and behaviors. Because as we talked about already throughout this podcast episode, if you are not acting within the values that you profess to have then you are not going to be satisfied with your relationships and you are going to find yourself not knowing why you’re dissatisfied and unhappy in your life. So go for it, figure this out, jot down some words to describe how you want to be known, and start to make sure that whatever actions you’re taking, the words you’re using are actually going to demonstrate those words.
And, as always, thank you for listening.

274 How Stories Shape Our Perception Of Self
The stories we carry tend to shape us for as long as we carry them. Whether these stories are helpful or harmful, it is our perception of them as we go through life that changes our sense of self into either our authentic selves or a false self.
In this episode Sarah Elkins and Amir Fathizadeh discuss the importance of authenticity, and modeling ideals that are in alignment with our authentic self for those around us and to create an environment where people can be empowered to become their own authentic selves.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Amir Fathizadeh discuss the importance of authenticity, and modeling ideals that are in alignment with our authentic self for those around us and to create an environment where people can be empowered to become their own authentic selves.
Highlights
Becoming the person you need to be despite not having that person modeled for you.
The stories we tell ourselves to justify our actions and why it is so vital to unlearn these harmful behaviors.
We can’t protect ourselves or our loved ones from the world, which is why it’s so important to ensure that your loved ones and yourself have healthy supportive relationships and open lines of communication.
Quotes
“Being able to see something for themselves that they couldn't see before, and when they see it something new opens up. A new possibility opens up.”
“When you are coaching you really have to be in deep listening, and putting myself in the other person's shoes to really get their world. And sometimes I just ask, which way will be most productive, or the best way to route this, because in coaching you don't really have a specific direction to go and it's all inquiry. And it's amazing, something always comes to me when I put myself there and I always have the answer.”
“When you're authentic there is no pretense, there's no attachment, this is to know who you are, you are free to talk, you're free to express, you're free to be yourself.”
Dear Listeners it is now your turn,
What stories are you holding onto that are creating negative patterns in your life? And who is in your life that you can share those stories with where they can ask you those questions, maybe to reframe them and also to find the evidence that contradicts the cycle? I hope you find your story today and make a change tomorrow.
And, as always, thank you for listening.

273 The Hero’s Journey
Heroes and dragons can take many different shapes, and it is vital to remember that we are the heroes of our own stories and that it is our duty to fight the dragons in whatever form they take. Only through these trials can we learn and grow into who we want to be.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Nettie Owens discuss the importance of our personal journeys and mastering ourselves so that we can become better leaders for the people around us.
Highlights
Be proud of your growth and the growth you inspire others to accomplish.
It’s your job to be a better person for the people you lead.
Be aware of your emotions and self reflect to see where you are getting in your own way.
Everything starts with you and if you aren’t taking care of yourself, you cannot be the best version of yourself.
Quotes
“I really like this idea of self mastery over self care. I think self care has a different tone and feel to it even though we might be describing some of the same things. When I see self care, it’s been used in such a way these days it elicits massages and bath tubs, and that’s great but what we’re talking about is sort of this full scope of your wellness, your well being, your relationships, and your professional development. The full package and how can you be that best version of yourself and bring that to the role in your company.”
“They don’t always realize what that means and what weight it carries, that they are the hero of the story and that they are required to go through the trials and tribulations that are part of the hero’s journey, and to face the dragons both physical and emotional, and that their job is to take this learning and bring it back to the village -back to the employees- and guide them.”
“No matter what, we’re all a leader somewhere.”
Listeners, it’s your turn,
When you think about your hero’s journey and the role you play in other people’s journeys, how do you want to be remembered? What are the things you want people to know about you at the end of the day, and how are your actions and behaviors aligning with what you want people to know about you?
And, as always, thank you for listening.
