Three Questions to Ask If Rethinking Your Career with Cheryl Czach

“Oftentimes when you want to make a change in your life, you hear a little whisper. You ignore it, it gets a little louder, and then you ignore it again. You do not make the change until it is screaming in your ear, and then you quickly make a change when you start hearing that in your gut and in your intuition. Start planning for it now, and don’t wait until it’s a scream and you can’t take it anymore.”

As the year progresses and we still find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic, many people are reflecting on their lives and careers. This is why I’m bringing back a returning guest expert to Brave By Design, Cheryl Czach, to talk more about this challenging time and to share the three questions to ask yourself if you do find yourself in this situation.

As a business leader, Cheryl Czach has been guiding professionals through their work and life journeys for over 20 years. Her passion for coaching employees, at all levels of the organization, to reach their personal and professional goals led her to start her own coaching practice, as well as pursue her coaching credentials through the International Coaching Federation.

Cheryl’s professional experience includes executive leadership in human resources, finance, operations, business development, organizational growth, strategy development, staffing / recruiting, and entrepreneurship. She brings this tactical experience to her coaching practice, which allows her to fully understand her client’s organizations and how individual contributors support the whole.

This powerful conversation with Cheryl will show you not only how to reflect on and assess where you are right now in your career, but it will give you the steps to push past the fears of moving forward.

Expanding your potential through the vagus nerve with Melanie Weller

“We have this physical expression of our internal narrative, and then we have an internal expression of our physical narrative. The real rub and compression comes between the alignment of those two things. What’s the story that’s happening inside of me, and what’s the story that’s happening outside of me? How can I reconcile these two things and bring them into alignment?” - Melanie Weller

Would you like to open the door to better health performance? In today’s episode of Brave By Design I am talking with a special guest who can help us do this through innovative ways, as she reveals the bridge between our narratives and our physical experience.

Melanie Weller is redefining connection and alignment to help you think bigger about the impact and potential of your voice from physical, mythological, and cosmological perspectives, focusing on the vagus nerve as the pathway between these aspects.

She helps voice professionals and professionals that want to empower and optimize their voice get in the zone, where their skill, talent, and ability are visible and magnetic. She is a Physical Therapist, Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Athletic Trainer and Certified Exercise Expert for Aging Adults.

Melanie’s clinical specialty is decompressing the vagus nerve, which innervates the voice and much more. She connects the physical body with both mythology, which was a mode of transmitting scientific information and identifying the stress-related, spiritual underpinnings of physical dysfunction, and with the mechanics of the Earth and cosmos, for which there is increasing scientific evidence.

If you’d like to learn more about the vagus nerve and the fascinating topics that Melanie shares about in this episode, I’d encourage you to visit her website to get the free resources that she mentions.
