 Welcome listeners to today's Tuesdays with Coach Mo podcast. I am executive Coach Monique Betty affectionately known as Coach Mo.

 Having supported a significant number of high achievers along their career journey, one thing I know is true is "a career journey should not be traveled alone.

“Thank you for helping me take my job search to the next level!”

This is a direct quote from a satisfied client. After completing my job search marketing plan, this client landed a leadership position in a giant tech firm located on the East Coast.

Whether you are currently in the midst of a job search or thinking about the process for a future move, then you are at the right place for gaining perspective from a resource you want to keep on your radar.

Whether or not you are experiencing it, the calendar says that spring is here. And what is synonymous with spring?  Cleaning, of course

Goodbye cold and clouds, hello warmth and sunshine.

Welcome to Tuesdays with Coach Mo, I am executive coach Monique Betty, affectionately known as Coach MO.

I did a little research on the origins of spring cleaning and I learned that some believe that the origin of spring cleaning is a practice identified with the Persian New Year of ‘shaking the house’ on the first day of spring.  

On today’s show, I'm joined by Lifestyle Design Coach Jessica Malone who has used decluttering to downsize from a luxury apartment to a 12-foot van and she also quit her 9-to-5, lost 40 lb. and is now helping achievers dig deep into their stuff so they can shed what no...

 In my many years serving as an Executive Coach, there is a tremendous joy I experience in witnessing my client achieve the success they desire all while overcoming the obstacles, roadblocks, and potential detours along the way.

Many of my clients arrive in coaching with some degree of expectation that there is a problem with them, that they aren't good enough or they in some way lack the skills, talents, and ability to succeed in their leadership role.  

In fact, I have found the opposite to be true! Most clients are well-equipped for what they do as a leader with managerial responsibilities, what I continue to observe is the untapped opportunity for connecting with who they are as a leader.  And, with a well-developed sense of who they are as a leader, I wonder what impact that will have on their...

Welcome to today's episode of Tuesdays with Coach Mo where this month, I'm sharing insight and perspective on what you can do as a high achiever to create a career advantage.

This is the first of a two-part series on how high Achievers create a career advantage. In part 1,  we focus on being a high-achiever and in part 2, the focus is on what high achievers do in their on-the-job performance.

Now, I want to take a moment an offer insight as to why I am using the term career advantage. ‘Advantage’ is defined as a condition or circumstance that puts one in a favorable or superior position. What I want for you is consideration of your long-range professional journey.

Within that journey, there will be instances of advancing your career, through a promotion for example, however, uncertainty...

Psst.. Hey there! 

I have a secret! I have discovered how to love my job!! 

Want to know how I did it? I have a best friend at work! Yes, Yes I do.

Now, my big secret really isn’t so much a secret as Gallup let the cat-out-of-the-bag years ago when they shared their findings that those who have a best friend at work are seven times as likely to be engaged in their jobs, are better at engaging customers, produce high-quality work and have a greater sense of well-being… Come on - - be honest with yourself…. don’t you want some of that?

So as you think about relationships at work, what role do you play in contributing to the success or lack of success in relationships? Think about it - - is there someone at work who will refer to you as their best friend? Or possibly the worst...

In this episode of Tuesdays with Coach Mo, I’ve interviewed Professional Speaker, Author and Leadership Coach, Alex Tremble who has over 10 years of experience coaching and advising some of our nation’s most senior level government leaders. He established GPS Leadership Solutions LLC and published two bestselling books. He’s an expert in influence, Strategic Networking, Leadership Perception and Career Advancement.

In our discussion, we talked about managing up from two perspectives.

• The first perspective is more broad in scope and is how to strategically network with individuals who have bigger job titles or have a position that ranks higher than yours. 
• The second perspective is narrower in space and is about managing up in the relationship between you and your boss.

"You have one mouth and two ears, use them proportionately." 

I love this saying by Judge Judy. It is a quick reminder to ourselves that, yes, we are equipped to ‘listen’.

What I have discovered as an executive coach to high-achievers, is that by effectively listening to others especially during contentious conversations, you can connect with the other person in a meaningful way, stick to the facts and avoid getting dragged into the triggering emotions of a difficult conversation.

I get it, it’s easy in concept yet difficult in execution, but one thing you’ll come to discover over time, is that it takes practice!

Whether it is the presidential election, a contentious conversation with your boss, colleague, parent, friend, significant other, your ability to gain self-mastery of navigating difficult conversations is an...

If I asked you to complete the following sentence with just one word what word would you choose?

Change is_____.

Your answer may run the full gamut from change is good or change is bad. You may describe change as challenging or difficult or exciting or scary. Ultimately the most accurate and universal answer of all is quite simply.. Change is inevitable

In today’s podcast, I will share with you what I believe to be specific steps you can take to effectively lead others through change and steps for leading yourself through change. 

So here are a few considerations I believe are important for you as an emerging...
