How to Choose to Live In the Midst of Change, Unpredictability & Disruption. Some disruptions just require us to stay resilient and allow the storm to pass. Others demand that we go much deeper and find the Shero/Hero within ourselves. These are the boulders that change our lives forever -- and yet, from the dust of that pain and chaos, we may just learn the secret of how to come deliciously even more alive. February 19, 2016 was "that day" for me. A random boulder that had been on the side of a mountain in Colombia South America for millions of years chose the moment when my daughter Schuyler (Sky-ler) was beneath it to come plummeting down. This experience was the culmination of many boulders in my life -- although none quite this literal. What it has taught me about life, living and even how to "make a living" has been so powerful that I don't think that you should have to be crushed by a boulder in order to experience it. Never would I have imagined that the School of Hard Knocks would become the ultimate university for me and that Boulder would be the professor that would usher me along toward this inner game "doctoral degree." Yes, my daughter survived the unsurvivable. And I found something that I had spent more than 5 decades looking for: my EPIC (Empowerment, Purpose, Innovation and Collaboration). I learned how to play the inner game to win. I'm not talking about coping skills or finding "the right mindset" or even trying to stay positive. What I want to share in this HOW TO CHOOSE TO LIVE podcast are the secrets that will help you come even more alive -- regardless of the circumstances. Welcome to Episode 1 where I start by sharing my own story... EPIC is not something that is created on your own, so come join us on this journey and let's help get you to the place where you can look back fondly on your own life feeling like you have truly lived. A little bit about me: I’m Meridith Alexander, a Forbes Coaches Council Breakthrough Performance coach, motivational speaker and FOUNDER OF THE EPIC YOU RE-EVOLUTION Movement. I train powerhouse professionals and entrepreneurs in the tools, techniques and inner game strategies that allow them to obliterate the things that stand between them and their personal/professional success so that they are now empowered (and emboldened) to achieve things that previously might have felt impossible. I have worked with thousands of heart driven professionals and teams both live and one to one via Zoom. My signature program appeals to those who refuse to settle, who insist on looking back on their life feeling that they have made a positive impact. The EPIC WORK LIFE MAKEOVER program spans 90 days and focuses on a holistic approach to success, tackling the elements of both the inner and outer game that are critical to transforming dreams into solid destiny. For more info on my coaching, visit www.gritmindsetacademy.com.
