Other Quotes From the Chat with Angie Chaplin:
- “I would again pull back to better time management techniques. And for me honestly that just felt so simple. I think I thought I had a good handle on how to manage my time, I knew what was important, I knew what needed to be done. But being more mindful of my working technique, I am an individual who was easily distracted and I underestimated the number of distractions I would face throughout any given day. And working from home really escalates the number of distractions that can pop up. So, getting a better handle and being more proactive on managing time would of shortened the learning curve ”
- “I have been approached, and certainly as a new entrepreneur this can be even more of a challenge, to develop content for workshops or programs that I could do because it’s experiences that I’ve had in the past. But that doesn’t mean that it’s content or a program that I should do. And the difference for me is really knowing what am I really good at and what am I really passionate about. And the more that a project combines those to the more productive I am and the more successful the outcome is for the client ”
- “The number one secret to success is knowing yourself. For me that goes back to values”
- “I work with leaders to actually put values into vision”
- “Where are you giving voice to your values so that they can be carried out through your vision”
