In this episode, I share three steps to start a Thought Leadership Career.
First, DEFINE YOUR MISSION. Who do you want to serve?
Second, DEFINE YOUR MESSAGE. How do you want to serve them? What do you want to teach? What change are your advocating for?
Third, DEFINE YOUR MEDIUM. How do you want to deliver your message - through books, podcasts, blogs, writing, speaking, or teaching? Do you want to run workshops or webinars, conferences or retreats?
As a change maker and thought leader, I always knew that I wanted to help humans reach their potential in their personal, professional, and community lives. You are your message, and becoming the greatest version of yourself is your greatest impact. Let's help you amplify who you are, by building a thought leadership platform to support your cause :)

In this episode, I share my journey as a Certified High Performance Coach. At a time when life was going well in 2018, serving as a US Diplomat overseas, raising three girls, living an adventure with my amazing partner in Peru, I asked myself a question “Is there more for me?” And after asking myself this question, I realized that I wanted to lead, influence, and serve others in bigger ways. After a decade of reading personal development books, attending seminars, I discovered Certified High Performance Coaching (CHPC) as a vehicle for transforming my life into something bigger and more beautiful. It was through CHPC that I became my better self, a published author, a speaker, and doing work I love with people I love.
This week (June 19-23, 2023, daily from 12-1pm Pacific Time), I’ll be going LIVE coaching you towards your greater potential! I'll be teaching the High Performance Habits daily, so you can also learn how to serve and lead others in bigger and more bolder ways!

Be Bold. Be Positive. Take Action, Everyday!
Meet Sara Hartary, a Value Creator, Fractional COO, and Founder of BizOpSolved.
As a passionate entrepreneur and working mother, Sara is trailblazing a path for future executives to do challenging work they love while still having time for people they love.
As more women reach C-Level positions, while still raising kids and caring for elderly parents, Sara is demonstrating a new model of working and accessing a talented resource pool.
Rather than finding talent to fit the 40-hour work week, Sara is showing businessowners the immense value and efficiency of creating an environment to hire fractional talent, which creates a triple win situation. The business hires talent at a fraction of the cost, the business’s efficiency and value increases, and the fractional executive is able to do work they love and have time to raise a family.
Highlights from this Episode:
- The 9-5 work construct doesn’t work for half the population who has other obligations. When you challenge this construct and understand that it is not necessarily more expensive as a SME business owner to hire fractional talent, you radically open up the resource talent pool.
- Build a network of professional friendships where you share vision and drive. Help one another out and support each other’s missions.
- We need to create a Grassroots Women’s Business Network, informal relationships that support business growth and business ecosystems. Instead of “Where did you get your shirt?” we need to start asking “Where did you find your CPA?”
- Have more business conversations with female-owned businesses.
Mic Drop Moments:
- If it doesn’t exist, create it.
- Don’t be afraid of your passion.
- Entrepreneurial terror is real.
What does success mean to you at this stage of life?
Seeing my daughter grow to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled. Beyond that it is realizing my dream, taking my passion and making it happen. My daughter is growing up to believe and think that I can just create a business if I want to.

Meet Paula Echeverri, a serial entrepreneur, hearing-loss survivor and advocate, and author of the book Emerge. Meet Paula Echeverri, a serial entrepreneur, hearing-loss survivor and advocate, and author of the book Emerge. In this interview, Paula shares her story of hearing loss and how she turned what she thought was a limitation into an opportunity. For the first six months of her hearing loss, Paula struggled with her new life questioning her self-worth and all of her relationships. After having a panic attack and going to the hospital, Paula decided to transform herself. She used techniques such as practicing gratitude (which releases happiness chemicals in the brain which produce feelings of positivity) and changing her internal narrative. Paula credits her mother for showing her how to be resilient and also to her own experience running and starting up businesses for her ability to bounce back from hardship. Paula also shares her three step framework to overcome any challenge: Accept that you have a problem. Surround yourself around a tribe of people that will support you. Be resilient - bounce back quickly from your challenges.

BIO:
PAULA ECHEVERRI was born in Colombia but spent half her life in the Silicon Valley in California, where she started a family. She is a proud mom of two girls—8 and 11. As a serial entrepreneur by nature Paula is passionate about how consumers and brands interact. She also worked with major companies in the tech space in Silicon Valley. She majored in Advertising and also has a certificate in Neuromarketing and is now pursuing her Applied Neuroscience certificate. After losing her hearing suddenly years ago with no apparent medical reasons from doctors, she did a lot of reading and research. She decided that there was more to life than limiting beliefs and being stuck was not an option. The loss of her hearing triggered in her a change in her life, and how she perceived her reality, which helped her a lot in her path to heal herself and accept her new life. Thanks to her experience as a CEO, she found out that mindset and resilience are key traits to bounce back from any challenge in life. She loves poetry and started writing again because she wants to help others and shine a light on interesting research from Neuroscience and the power of our minds to emerge from any situation.

Be Bold. Be Positive. Take Action, Everyday.
In this episode, I share with you a simple framework for designing a successful day.
I call it the "3Ms" - Morning, Movement, Mission.

Who must you BE in order to achieve all that you want?
3M Framework:
1) How do you start your mornings?
2) How do you move your body everyday?
3) How do you connect to your mission? Looking for more inspiration?

Be Bold. Be Positive. Take Action, Everyday
In this episode, I interview a friend and colleague, KYLA MITSUNAGA, a Mind-blowing Results Coach, Healer, and Subconscious Expert. In this gem-filled interview, she talks about her framework for helping clients make progress, how she stays positive despite difficulty, her definition of success, and many more awesome insights.
GEMS FROM THIS EPISODE:
3A Framework: Awareness, Acceptance, Action
This can help you understand where you are, what you need to accept, and what you can actually take action on. In Kyla’s words “You can’t act on something you don’t accept. You can’t accept something that you are not aware of.” So, self-growth happens in this order: AWARENESS > ACCEPTANCE > ACTION. Acceptance being the most difficult, yet important step.
Facing Society’s Definition of Success vs. Facing Your Definition of Success
“Reframe the way in which you understand success…whose definition of success are you looking at?”
- Society– Tesla (check), House (check), Multiple Credit Cards (check)
- Kyla’s Definition - Freedom to Travel (check), Be in Eureka with Auntie Helping Her Move (Check), Living without Regrets (check)
JUDGMENT and FORGIVENESS SEESAW
“When your judgment of self and others is high, your forgiveness of self and others is low.”
“When your judgment of self and others is low, your forgiveness of self and others is high.”
For the high achievers, forgive yourself more in your life’s journey. Being forgiving is just as important as achieving.
WINNING RESULTS vs. BONUS RESULTS
Swimming everyday is a bonus result.
Forgiving yourself when you don’t go swimming is a winning result.
Wanting to grow through fear is a winning result.
Achieving the income goal is the bonus result.
Value winning results more, or in other words, value the internal wins, the mindset wins where you are talking kindly and lovingly to yourself as you move imperfectly through life.
SALLY SAYS “You’re enough” :)
Kylalilities Vocabulary
- Kylalility: Being Kyla in all her Kylaness
- Poolpihpany (Pool + Epiphany): Insights gained from swimming
- F word in Happiness: Forgiveness

On Growing
WITH vs. AT
Where are you playing it safe?
Where are you not trying your best?
Where can you level up in your life?
Where can you choose growth and excellence over complacency?
In this episode, I share a piece of life advice I received from a former boss when I was an undergraduate student at UCLA. He simply said Never Accept Mediocrity. After years of changing jobs and moving countries, I learned that in order to become a better version of yourself, you must go beyond your ‘average’ to see what you are capable of.
If you seek greatness, aliveness, and growth in your life, you must step out of the comforts of what is known, and choose the harder path of challenge, leveling up, and skilling up in your life. It is when you choose excellence over the status quo that you begin to experience breakthroughs in life and work.
If you’d like to get more guidance, you can access my free resource, The LifeMap Mini Course.
In this episode, I share the concept of mapping out your life. The goals, the dreams, the ideas, the adventures...and really taking the time to think and plan what you'd like to do in your life. What qualities do you want to develop? What adventures do you want to have? What contributions do you want to make? What do you want to accomplish - map it all out!

In this episode, I share a few thoughts on how to reflect on life's lessons in the moment. You see, all that you experience, from amazing relationships to hardships, from slow days to hectic days, it is all teaching you something. Your role, in your life, is to see it, be present, observe, and ask What is this teaching me?What do I need to learn? Who must I grow into to go through this challenge?
I hope this episode inspires you and helps you see the beauty and also the struggle that life has to offer as you progress into this next chapter of life.
What are you good at? What can you share with the world? What are your natural inclinations?
In this episode, I share my simple framework for finding one’s purpose through my life experiences.
To sum up, my one piece of advice is to find the threads in your life, the patterns, the moments that light you up.
When you are enjoying yourself, when you are in wonder and awe, when you are feeling good or positive vibes, these experiences, spaces, and life moments are direct clues to your purpose. Your purpose is not just what you do, but who you are and how you show up in the world. Purposeful people live with a sense of joy and curiosity.
So, what are the threads and patterns in your life?
Share your insights with me on Instagram @domnarciso.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the four main elements that will drive the purpose of work in a post-pandemic world. If you are a leader or business owner trying to retain talent, these are a few questions to consider in order to keep employees engaged, committed, and motivated to serve your organizations' mission and vision. Or if you are a high performing professional seeking clarity around your current career path, these questions will help you think and reflect on the purpose of work in your life.
-
Does work satisfy an intrinsic motivation?
-
Does work create an environment of belonging and community?
-
Does work provide personal growth opportunities? (Not just growing professional skills, but developing a more holistic mindset around success, high performance, excellence, and congruence).
-
Does work provide a path towards senior leadership? Does the leadership reflect the employees, is there a future for leadership positions?

THE POWER OF SECRET IDENTITIES
In this week’s episode, I interview Pete Mackintosh, a Profitability Coach for Female Entrepreneurs on the power of secret identities.
Pete shares the framework of Todd Herman’s The Alter Ego Effect, where the power of secret identities removes the need for discipline, because you just become the person you want to be gradually over time by acting as your secret identity. Think Clark Kent and Superman - changing in the telephone booth - and suddenly taking on this new superhero identity.
Pete also shares the importance of carving out time for self-reflection to start unpacking your dreams and desires. He also suggests getting around a community of like-minded people trying to achieve the same goal for motivation, accountability, and inspiration.

In this episode, I teach you about discipline. Discipline is what separates the dreamers from the doers. It is the essential ingredient to your success in health, in wealth, in business, in family. How consistent are you in choosing to do the hard work of success?
Two main takeaways: Decide to be disciplined; and Do the work required for success. There are no shortcuts to discipline. It is the simple choice of acting in alignment with the life and future you desire. It is doing the hard work of putting in the hours, the practice, the reps, the habits of success.

In this episode, I share four ideas for greatness. I believe we are all capable of becoming a better version of ourselves - a happier, more compassionate, forgiving, ambitious, and purpose-driven human being. I believe that when we seek out greatness in ourselves, it causes a ripple effect of greatness in others. What we see in ourselves, we see in others. That’s why I encourage you to CHOOSE GREATNESS. We need more positivity in this world - and it starts with you. With a decision, then an awareness, then an action, then a journey of learning and growth - and ultimately a path towards becoming your greatest self.

Are you a high achiever, jumping from one opportunity to the next? Are you stacking on more than you can handle to get ahead? I get it - I used to do this all the time - until I realized that achievement for achievement's sake is undirected. There will be moments in your life when you need to slow down and ask yourself if you are still going in the right direction. If you are, excellent. If you feel like you are not, you need to dig deeper and ask why.
In this episode, I share three important questions to ask yourself as you slow down:
1) Who are you at your core?
2) What do you want in your life?
3) Who do you want to become?
Be limitless in your mind - you can do what you set your mind to - so think big, no limits, just you and your vision.

Play big - start now - you got this!
