It’s Coach Question Friday when I ask a question that I often ask clients!
For the final episode of Ever Better Today, I’d like you to consider how you can share your ideas more widely. How can you reach more people? How can you have a greater impact?

How can you share your ideas more broadly?
Set your goals. Who do you want to reach and why?
When I set out to produce Ever Better Today, Season Two, I said that I was going to do 250 episodes. That was roughly one episode per weekday for a year. My main goals were to become more comfortable with creating ideas, articulating, and sharing them. I knew that this would help me to document my body of work and identify patterns that I could focus on moving forward. Before I knew it, I had reached 100 episodes and I recognized that I had achieved my goals. Creating another 150 episodes wouldn’t help me move the needle on achieving my main goals. So I’m turning my attention to client work and other projects….at least for now! But….I’ll be back!What are your goals?
Identify key topics and themes.
As I created daily podcasts, I narrowed down my topics to leadership and related tactics and tools. What are you key topics and themes? It’s totally normal for your topics and themes to evolve! But they can’t evolve until you get started.
Identify a platform to share your ideas.
Think about how you can share your ideas. Try podcasting, blogs, creating workshops, webinars, seminars, or being a guest on podcasts. If you try something and it’s not working for you, it’s totally fine to try something else! What platform seems most natural for you? Remember, it all takes practice!
Have a team to support you.
On my end, I have a wonderful editor named Ryan Higgs and virtual assistant named Louisa to help me produce, publish and publicize each episode.Who’s in your corner?
How can you stretch yourself to get your ideas into the world?

S02 Ep107 Is it Lonely at the Top?!
It doesn't have to be lonely at the top!
As you move up the ranks from an entry-level job to senior managerial positions, you have fewer peers to confide in. And if you're a founder, you have even fewer peers. You’ll need to create an evolving circle of confidantes. It may not be easy, but it’s important to achieve. And when you do, it won’t be lonely at the top.

It doesn't have to be lonely at the top. Here are some tips:
Find a coach. Identify someone you trust to share your challenges and success with on a confidential basis. This relationshop can cover all aspects of your business, career, and overall life.
Surround yourself with people you can trust. Find your circle of advisors and people you can trust to share your challenges with. This should be a two-way relationship. They need to be able to rely on you just as you rely on them.
Speak at conferences. This will help you create more your connections and meet people who are also in senior roles. Put yourself in places where you’ll be among peers.
Involve yourself in hobbies and activities. Build relationships with people who can become confidantes outside of work. As you pursue hobbies and activities that you enjoy, those relationships will evolve and you’ll learn from each other.

S02 Ep106 Work of Leaders
Leadership involves articulating your vision, creating alignment within your organization and driving execution.

The Work of Leaders DiSC Assessment identifies and describes your work style, and explains the benefits and opportunities for growth within the framework of vision, alignment, and execution.
Here are the three Work of Leaders elements: Vision, Alignment and Execution.
Vision is an imagined future condition for the organization or team. It expands assumptions about what can be accomplished. It unifies people and provides purpose.
How you craft your vision and how you communicate your vision is related to your DiSC style. You might prioritize details, or you might prioritize the big picture, you might be extremely bold, or you might focus on analysis.
Alignment involves gaining buy-in from the organization and your team. It takes a team to achieve a vision. Alignment sets the stage by proposing a plan for effective implementation, provides a forum for questions and concerns, brings people together behind the vision and it generates excitement.
If a team is aligned towards a vision and they understand the strategic plan and where they're going in the future, they're going to be much more resilient and less likely to jump ship when things get tough.
Execution is how you turn vision into reality. Vision is achieved through tactics. Choose the right person for each position, consider resources, and finances for your organization.
Using OKRs - objectives and key results - or another form of metrics is important for managing execution. They provide team milestones and the opportunity to recognize and celebrate progress.
The work of leaders varies at different levels.
CEOs should be focused on vision and alignment while delegating execution.
Middle managers should be focused on some vision and alignment with a greater emphasis on managing execution.
Entry level managers will primarily focus on execution and managing execution.
