Find creative and subtle ways to market your products – people love to buy, but they hate to be sold.

Holly Cervini : From Funk to Fantastic

By Jennie Bellinger | May 10, 2021

About Holly Cervini: She is passionate about supporting an underserved segment of the business world, our overburdened senior leaders, in how they lead and how they live. These high achievers appear to be getting along swimmingly and yet are often treading water furiously and perilously beneath the surface, gradually sinking over time. Those she serves are under so much unhealthy stress that they dread going to work and their physical and mental health is suffering. Holly coaches them to avoid burnout by recalibrating their priorities and renewing their sense of well-being so that they can become heroes of their organizations. She works for an executive coaching organization and is also a functional medicine health coaching scholar.

In this episode, Jennie and Holly Cervini discuss:

The true meaning of “coaching” and how to help people experience well-being
What are Positive Emotional Attractors and Negative Emotional Attractors – scientifically proven to be real and common to each of us
How you can hack your brain and motivate yourself by organizing your thoughts into two categories of PEA and NEA, and feeding your mind with PEA
The difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and which one is better

Key Takeaways:

Both Positive and Negative Emotional Attractors are essential –
Our vision has to be grounded in our Positive emotional attractors, in order for us to have an enduring, long-term motivation to change.
We have to spend disproportionately more time in positive than negative emotional attractors. Give five positive feedback for every one negative criticism, both to others and yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with extrinsic motivation, but you can’t completely rely on it – intrinsic motivation is more effective and lasts long-term

“In our own minds, we want to be always bolstering positivity, bolstering the vision, the “what if” and what’s resonating.. .” — Holly Cervini

Susanne Cesana – People Want to Be Cared About

By Jennie Bellinger | May 3, 2021

About Susanne Cesana: Susanna promotes a lifestyle of vitality and wellness that brings higher quality and richness to our daily lives and natural solutions for life cares and concerns such as stress, anxiety, inflammation, inadequate sleep, and poor nutrition.

As a California native, living a healthy lifestyle seemed both beautiful and normal, and she esteemed it highly. When Susanna moved to Connecticut in 1975, where the thinking was generally more traditional, she delighted in getting to enlighten, educate, and share solutions for better physical and mental health.

Forty-five years, two children, and three grandchildren later, she remains committed to living a long, healthy life so much so that she advocates a keto/primal lifestyle. In fact, Susanna is an active Achilles Athlete!

In 2018, she launched her own health coaching business which includes the use of doTERRA therapeutic grade essential oils and food-based nutrition. Susanna has keenly observed people through the years, and it is poignantly evident to her that lifestyle is such a powerful influence on how we as humans show up: for ourselves, for our families and others, and in our work.

In this episode, Jennie and Susanne Cesana discuss:

How disability can motivate you to be successful rather than be discouraged
Discovering the benefits and awesome effects of essential oils
How helping people improve their life can fill your life with joy
What is the most fulfilling thing about leading a team

Key Takeaways:

Helping others help themselves to become better people might be one of the most fulfilling thing that you can do in life
People are drawn into sales by the possibility of getting a lot of cash but what really makes them stay is community and the potential for personal development
The business of direct selling is a journey of personal development with a paycheck attached
Prioritizing your connection and relationship with people is what will make business much easier and more impactful.

“If you want your comfort zone to grow larger, you have to step out of it.” — Susanne Cesana
