I would like to provide a correction to my podcast – The beloved actress who was cast as Queen Sophie Charlotte, Golda Rosheuve, in the Netflix series Bridgerton is not African American.  Her ethnic group is Guyanese descent on her father’s side of the family and of English descent on her mother’s side.

Memorial Day 2020

May 24, 2020 admin Podcast Season One, Traditions 0 Comments

Memorial Day began as a tribute by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. The freed men and women dug up the bodies of Union Soldiers to honor them with a proper burial as gratitude for sacrificing their lives to free the slaves during the Civil War. After the re-burial, these free men and women held a parade where they marched and sang in celebration. The modern Memorial Day continued with a military order issued in 1868 by Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, the commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, for the annual decoration of war graves.

This podcast is presented as a tribute to the continuance of Memorial Day, as a time to remember and thank our nations veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice. While COVID-19 may prevent us from the physical visitation of the grave site, it does not prevent us from paying tribute in other manners.

Develop Your Inspirational Vision

February 17, 2020 admin 2020 Change & Goal Setting Series, Education, NOVA Series 0 Comments

Develop Your Inspirational Vision

 

What is your inspirational vision, what is your inner banner? You must create your inspirational vision. Your personal inspirational vision is viewing your change goals and your end-game in your minds-eye.  It is a skill-set which is not used frequently to its fullest potential nor capacity. We are not taught to envision what we want and methodically map-out the road map to achieve it.

When formalizing a vision statement that reflects your uniqueness keep these elements in mind and use them as a checklist:

  1. Project  in the future.
  2. Focus on success and use the present tense.
  3. Use clear, concise, jargon-free language.
  4. Infuse it with passion and make it inspiring to you.
  5. Align it with your personal values and end-game goals.
  6. Have a plan to communicate your vision statement to anyone who will listen.
  7. Be prepared to commit time and resources to the vision you have establish.

Building a support group of experts is important to you achieving your goals and instituting your change.

Why is building a coalition so important and how can mentors help? Mentors provide  information and knowledge which we are lacking. A good mentor will notice which areas you need improvement in and how to stimulate positive growth to help you meet your goals.  Mentors can be a beacon of encouragement in helping you stay focused.

This episode of the Substance of Life Podcast provides information about Change and goal-setting Principal #2, Developing a Coalition.  For our purposes, of our podcast, a coalition is defined as a temporary alliance of partners or mentors who have the experience and skill-sets required to assist you with achieving your goals and move forward toward your change.  This podcast discusses: Identifying potential Coalition members, reviewing the characteristics of participating members and recruiting potential members.
