Take Care & Live!
Take Care & Live!
Dr. Stephen V.
This show— the Take Care & Live podcast, is all about you — and not about you all at the same time— it’s about learning from and applying our life experiences - at home, at work, or at play in ways that make us better for ourselves and better for others. We’ll talk about mission, and passion, joy, and pain, relating and relationships, faith, and friendship, winning and losing, working and warring, matters that helps us move forward more purposefully each day of our lives! About the Host –– Hi I'm Dr. Stephen V. I'm an experienced organizational leader who is a bit of a big thinker and innovator and leadership coach in the education space. With a rich background organizational psychology, education and conflict resolution I leverage those experiences to bring you thoughtful dynamic content. My mission is to help people take both their wins and losses, and use them as a launchpad for a richer, more meaningful life. I know from experience that failure even more times than “success” can be used to positively transform not just who we are as individuals but who we influence — from children to CEOs. The Take Care & Live podcast is a vehicle to inspire, motivate, and transform people as they explore their lived experiences for resources that give them the courage to do exactly what the show is named. So glad you stopped by!

Deliver Your Best Self | Tuesday's Take
Dr. Stephen V. provides some affirmation about what it truly means to deliver "your best self". It's not about overperforming, over-exhausting, and being excessively available. Quite frankly, delivering our best self is about stepping up and into moments where we need to reset who, what and where our energy is given so it can be redistributed to the place and relationships that deserve the best of us.Connect with Dr. Stephen V.  (Stephen V.

Dr. Stephen V.   concludes with part four of this to-the-point four-part, mini-series entitled Unleash the Go!  with an angle on a topic that will put our self-reliance and insecurities to the test - our willingness to ask for help.We all come to the table with a set of resources of our own, be they material, intellectual, and/or relational. Yet there will likely be resources you do not have access to... yet. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  shows us:the proof we genuinely have respect for the pivots we need to face in our plans or strategy at any level is revealed in just how much we are willing to look, ask and even "knock on doors" to access the partnership and support along the way.All of these principles can be easily applied to your personal, family, and professional life.  These short sprints of information are deliberately designed for you to listen to it again and again in manageable chunks so you remain focused on applying it as you take action. If you haven't listened to it already, be sure to tune in to Waiting Is Not a Waste: Four Resources for Rescuing Your Restlessness | Tuesday's Take.
