Kayla is joined by trial attorney Jefferson Fisher, who has gained millions of followers across social media by sharing his professional knowledge with the world on how to communicate better. It’s not just the words itself but the tone and even the silence we use or don’t use that impacts how others perceive us. Whether it be in professional or personal settings, we all could benefit from being more intentional with what we say and how we say it. Or what we choose not to say at all! Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/ Follow Jefferson:https://www.instagram.com/jefferson_fisher/https://links.jeffersonfisher.com/Follow Kayla:https://www.instagram.com/kaylaewell/  Hosted on Acast.

Kayla is joined by author, speaker, and productivity coach Laura Mae Martin to discuss how her years at Google taught her the ways in which we can actually use our much needed downtime to optimize our work time flow. As the Executive Productivity Advisor at Google in the office of the CEO, Laura has helped everyone from high-level executives to her fellow parents at home on how to nail down when in the day they’re actually the most productive and create habits that allow us to make the most use of that precious time. Instead of burning the candle at both ends, what if we slowed down and actually savored the quiet when we’re able to get it? Follow LauraInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauramaemartinCheck out “UPTIME: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing” :https://lauramaemartin.com/bookFollow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionallychallenged__/  Hosted on Acast.

Kayla is joined by author, speaker, and executive coach, Stella Grizont, to help readjust our mindset when it comes to fulfillment in the workplace. Most - too many probably - would agree that they’re either just going through the motions in the office or find themselves disengaging during work because we no longer feel a strong sense of purpose or even enjoyment in these environments. And instead we may feel cornered in our careers just to get to the next day. Well, Stella works with her clients to figure out how to reconfigure and build a skillset dedicated to improve our happiness, satisfaction, and engagement.
