It's our 100th Episode!
You are crushing it at work. You’ve curated an impressive A-List team and they are hitting on all cylinders. You couldn’t ask for a better work scenario. Then you get acquired and new leadership steps in and there are whispers about a reorg. You’re starting to get really uncomfortable, and BAM! it happens. The team is dismantled, new players are weaved in and you’re freaking out because it doesn’t look anything like it did before. Change is hard.

Whether it’s at work, as an entrepreneur or in your personal life, nothing stays the same and being able to navigate the stress and panic that rides along with change is a critical skill for success.

In this episode, we’re going to explore the science of change and how to cope in order to stay sane.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why change can feel so hard and the science behind it
• The four stages of change:
  • Denial: The disbelief it's even happening, avoiding situations reminding us of the possible change so we don't have to face it
  • Anger: The feeling of anger washes over each of us, this is where blame comes in, blaming our friends, our boss, our coworkers, the world
  • Exploration: What could the outcomes look like, what happens if I went along with change
  • Acceptance/agreement: Understanding and getting on board with the new reality.
• How to navigate change so you can have more resilience and use it to bolster your professional success
  • Give Yourself Space to sit, to absorb and to process
  • Keep a semblance of a routine to produce false sense of comfort
  • Find places to take back control, where can you feel like you have a say
  • Examine the possibilities, what can happen if you do or don't move forth with change
  • Find the meaning: It doesn't happen for a reason but if you can find meaning you can process better

“Exposure changes us -- yes -- that’s why it makes sense to push ourselves out of our comfort zones so we can be exposed to new things. Frankly, in my opinion, this is the best kind of change.”

Have you ever thought of something only to have it come to fruition a few days later? What about thinking about a friend you hadn’t contacted in a while and then you hear ‘ding’ and she sends you a text? You may think all of these things are coincidences, but instead, what if you looked at this through the lens of energy and manifestation?

We are all made of energy and we can create the world we want to exist in. In this summer short, we’re going to explore manifestation and give you a few new ways to start.

How to Manifest

• Be specific on what you want, give it as much detail as possible
• Write it down, putting pen to paper helps our brains recognize it’s something you are serious about and want to acquire in your life.
• Envision yourself already there, place yourself in the space where you’ve achieved what you’re trying to already, how do you feel, show up, act.
• Add a by when date. Putting concepts out in the world without a by when gives the ‘universe’ cart blanch to create its own timeline
• Acknowledge any disbelief or self-doubt
• Be thankful for all that you have and practice gratitude for where you are because it opens up our energy to accept what else we want
• Let it go. You’ve asked, you’ve planned, you’ve taken steps, now let it go

No matter how many years you’ve been out of school, Fall always feels like a fresh start. It’s such a great feeling until things get super busy and we wish we long for the days of Summer vacation!

In this week’s Summer Shorts, Mimi is going to talk about her favorite thing -- how to get organized -- and give you some of her favorite hacks to keep the fresh fall feeling all year long!

• Use a calendar -- people are fans of to-do lists -- but lists can get long and unwieldy fast. Putting things on a calendar and even better assigning a day and TIME to do it gets you clear on what to do when and how long it will actually take to do it.
  I especially love Google calendar because you can access it on your phone, set up different calendars that you can share with others, color code it and easily move things around.
  You can also include notes and attachments in your calendar invite getting you super organized and Google calendar has a task function built right in so you can have a to-do list alongside of your calendar.
  
• Know what you can do and what you can’t --- don’t over-commit. This is the downfall of so many of us -- even if it feels like something you want to do -- give yourself 24 hours to think about it. Something that sounds like a great idea in the moment, may not feel so great in the morning!
  
• Use the power of routines -- make a grocery list on the same day every week, do laundry the same day -- this allows you to stay on top of things and systemize so things don’t get piled up. For example, I love a finance Friday --- pay your bills and balance your accounts. Doing this once a week makes it much less daunting and saves lots of time!

Join our FREE masterclass on negotiating just for you it is happening on April 15th at 2 p.m. EST. It’s going to change the way you see and think about negotiating. Save your spot here. www.therestingmind.com/negotiation
We start the interview process with an eye towards the outcome...getting the job. Instead of heading into the first conversation asking about salary, we go through three rounds before we even bring it up yet our male counterparts are 75% more likely to ask in the first interview.

We, as Gen X women, need to be empowered with knowing our worth and step boldly into our voice so we can articulate it.
In this episode, we’re talking all about how to do just that.

We asked over 1200 women in our Facebook Community, Just Gen X Talking Business Career + Life about their feelings around negotiating—the results were overwhelmingly negative!

That is not okay because we as women need to know and know how to articulate our worth and stand up for it regardless if you are negotiating a promotion, a salary increase, or support for you to do your job. If you own a business you absolutely have to negotiate your worth with clients and with vendors.

“We need to be able to own our worth, know our worth, identify it and really be able to share it with the world. And do so without feeling cringy.” Jackie Ghedine

“It’s not that we need to learn to over ask but instead to just ask what we are worth” Mimi Bishop

“Knowing your worth is knowing when you’ve had enough.”

“Your superpower, truly is your uniqueness. You being you.”

In this episode, Knowing Your Self Worth, you’ll learn:

• How to outline your worth and amazingness
• Why as a business owner you shouldn’t give too much away for free
• How stacking up your accomplishments in a notebook gets your brain to buy-in
• How you can figure out the market’s worth of you : Don’t lose sight of your value
