Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersAdding Value to Succeed as a Female Exec: Fear Blinds UsThe month of August is all about adding value and mastering this critical, yet simple, concept. The reality is that adding value is the driver of executive success. If we want to have success, then we must add value. It's cause and effect.

We have walked through selectively acting on the feedback you receive, properly interacting with the feedback giver, and today, we are tackling the elephant in the room. We always wonder, is it really us or is it them? To find the answer to that question, we have to ask ourselves: do I fit into the company’s culture?

But I can’t get my mind there. I can’t accept it. I’m afraid.” I understand the fear and I respect it. You see, all our lives we have wanted to fit in.

Fair question. First, let me tell you. We are ALL afraid. All of us! I am a confident, direct, handle my crap type of person, but I was terrified.

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersWhy Did I Shift From Pharmacy to Legend?I have people ask me regularly, “Katrina, you are a pharmacist! Why did you shift from pharmacy to Legend?” It’s a reasonable question. But before I dive into it, let me tell you this. You will forever be asked why you left a career you developed, a degree you attained, a pathway you started to go down, in order to pursue something else. Remember that we have all been taught to respect titles, power, and money--in general. Pharmacists have all of that. So most people can’t fathom why I would create a business that doesn't...2020-10-2012 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersCommunication and Brand PillarsWe are diving in, talking about the 9 fundamental pillars of business today. I want to kick off this discussion by talking about the communication and brand pillars. Here's the deal, the 9 pillars aren't mind-blowing or earth-shattering. They are business fundamentals that if you sat down and truly thought about business, you would say, "Oh, of course, I need that!" What most people don't understand though is that they get the order wrong or they think they don't need to apply the pillars "right now. " That said, let's talk about communication.

In essence, the product is the business. So from time to time, I will get questions about products. "Katrina, how do I know I have an amazing product?" Or, "How do I create an amazing product?" But the problem is that most people are thinking about their product in the constraints of the market they want to play in.

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYou Need to Pick a PathwayWhen I started Legend several years ago, I had some amazing ideas for all of the work I wanted to do and how I wanted to support my clients.

You see, I would get emails, invitations to webinars and workshops, etc. And in each one of them, I would take tons of notes, write down ideas for how I could apply that in Legend, and I create my business plan. I had ideas abo...2020-09-1007 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersWhen You Need A Win, Sometimes You Need to Look Outside of Your BusinessRecently, we spent an entire Saturday working in the yard, around the house, inside the house, you name it we painted it, caulked it, trimmed it, or cleaned it. During that weekend of work it struck me when you need a win, sometimes you need to look outside of your business. You see, we set out to do the work around the house because we wanted to teach the kids how to do some of that work, giving them some additional life skills they can rely on, and we knew how to do the work and figured it...2020-09-0914 min

This last mistake of the 10 most common mistakes is the personal growth mistake. Plain and simple, you have to invest in yourself.

Today's focus is on the scalability mistake. We've talked about the fact that a business that's making less than a million dollars a year is still considered a startup. That phase of business is the most cumbersome phase I would say because it's constant validation, constant pivoting, constant questioning, and growth both in the business as well as in us professionally.

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersSchedule a Stay-cation and Put Down the WorkWhile you can't go on a vacation like you have been planning or even like the ones you have had in the past, you can and should still schedule a stay-cation and put down the work. You need the mental break! At the start of the pandemic in the US, I recorded an episode about preparing your team for your next vacation. Oh yes, this was during the time that we thought we would be back in the office by July, and life would be more normal than not. Fast forward to today and we know just how...2020-08-1410 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersDealing with an Emotional Outburst At WorkHave you experienced someone having an emotional outburst at work? I definitely have, most of which has been crying episodes. I have had several people cry in meetings throughout my career and had it has always shocked me. Not because we can't be emotional at work. We have already discussed how emotions build connection and connection builds trust. So we have to be emotional. No, I'm surprised because I wasn't prepared for the emotions they were displaying. And if this has happened during your time in leadership, I would imagine it has happened to you to. So how do you hand...2020-08-1209 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersMonthly Review of Your Time and Personal GoalsWe regularly discuss doing. your monthly review of your business performance. It's a no-brainer and very much part of your monthly routine. But what about a monthly review of your time and personal goals? How did you do with sticking to your calendar, spending your time where you needed to spend it, etc.? Ultimately, did you achieve your personal goals? Remember that we are working to grow a business, but part of growing your business means you have to live the life you deserve. You have to be able to do both. So if you don't have a routi...2020-08-1108 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBusiness Failures Are Different Than School FailuresOh, I hate to fail. I mean, let's be honest for a second. People say all of the time that failures teach us what we need to grow through to be stronger. Failure teaches us to be better. And while I appreciate the political correctness of those statements, for just a second I want to tell you that I hate to fail. But I have had to get over it. Because here is what I had to realize, business failures are different than school failures. Yes, I can count on one hand how many times I got a C on...2020-08-1009 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersHow Do You Learn?As business leaders, we are constantly learning. If we aren't learning, our business isn't thriving. I think that learning and business leadership go hand in hand. We are constantly learning about our people, ourselves, our business, and the overall business world. But let me ask you a question you may not have thought about, how do you learn? You see, if you are a lifelong learner, you have to know how you learn best. I teach my clients in a stepwise fashion. In other words, I give you step 1, then step 2, then step 3, etc. If you don't like to...2020-08-0910 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersWhat is Your Communication Style and Who Are You Attracting?How do you communicate? What is your communication style and who are you attracting as a result? For me, I communicate directly, or as I normally say, "I'm clear and direct." The clients and people that I have worked with and currently work with understanding that. They appreciate my style, they want information shared with them in this manner, and they don't want fluff or indirect feedback. Is that how you communicate? What is your style? Have you asked your team recently how they perceive your style of communication? Does it match your intentions? All...2020-08-0814 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYour Accomplishments RoutineThis episode is all about you! I want you to learn how to create and build your accomplishments routine. You see, we are business leaders and as such we expect that we are going to learn something new and grow through problems each and every day. Because we have these expectations of ourselves, we actually downplay the growth we experience as business leaders. That's so unfair! Just because we know we have to learn and grow, doesn't mean that that understanding somehow negates our ability to celebrate when we do it! Athletes know they have to go out an...2020-08-0710 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersCustomer Service ImpactsWe have talked regularly about how the pandemic is impacting our businesses. In various episodes of the Legendary Leaders podcast, we have discussed how it can affect mindset, and how we push ourselves forward; we have discussed changes in business processes because we could be producing or providing our services in a new way, and we have discussed leadership methodologies because we are all working remotely. But what we haven't actively discussed is how to handle the customer service impacts. My overall recommendation is to treat your customers the way you want to be treated. The golden rule...2020-08-0610 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYou Don't have to be Liked to be a LeaderYou don't have to be liked to be a leader. I completely agree with that. Now, don't freak out and say, "But Katrina, you said I have to build trust in my team, and to build trust, I have to be trustworthy. How can I be considered a leader of someone who doesn't like me?" I'm glad you asked. 😁 The answer to that is that your direct reports do need to be able to trust you. Inherently, they will see you as trustworthy. But being trustworthy doesn't mean that they would hang out with you or consider you a fri...2020-08-0510 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersHire for the Job You CreatedIn various chats, business-related Facebook groups, etc. I'm consistently seeing that the number one issue people are facing right now is hiring for their businesses. First, I love this because this means their businesses are growing. It's a good problem to have, right? If you are struggling with hiring right now, I want to challenge you to hire for the job you created. Now I know this sounds intuitive. But you would be surprised at how fast we can get away from this mindset when we get into the interview and job offer phase of our hiring rout...2020-08-0414 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersLead Your Business vs. Run Your BusinessI continue to focus on sharing information around business processes, business improvements, and how to have the right mindset to propel your business forward. We all change our messaging to try to land our communication in a way, in a tone, in the right words, etc. that resonate with our customers. As I continue to work on the messaging for Legend, one of the key learnings I want to impart is that you have to have a plan to be able to lead your business vs run your business. What's the difference? The difference is that we all...2020-08-0309 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersCycle of DissatisfactionIf you are like me, or how I used to be rather, sometimes you get trapped in the cycle of dissatisfaction. It's the cycle perfectionists and overachievers fall into on a regular basis. Essentially, we look at a business metric and we want to improve it. Let's say we want to grow our email list from 10,000 people to 50,000 people. As soon as we make a commitment, as soon as we align our minds around a business goal, we think that "once we arrive" we will be happy. But we are wrong. Because you see, we will arrive at th...2020-08-0210 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBuild a Cadence of CommunicationDo you want to be a more effective and efficient leader? Have you established your expected communication routines with your team? If not, build a cadence of communication. You know that I regularly talk about communication as a part of your leadership. But I have watched leaders move forward with a team and hound them to death each day, asking for updates, wanting to know every detail on a new project, etc. It's completely inefficient on several fronts. First, as a leader, you can't bog yourself down by trying to "remember" to ask for updates. Your...2020-08-0112 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersClarity Around Team Goals and RolesI have recently talked about you being the anchor for your team, right? How there are still a large number of unknowns in the minds and lives of our team and therefore we as leaders have to be their constant, their anchor. The other action we must own and execute regularly with our teams is providing clarity around team goals and roles. As you sit down and look at your business, what do you want to accomplish in the month of August? What are your business goals? Define them. Write them down. What does a successful August look l...2020-07-3113 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBoth Action and Documentation Are NeededWhen I ask individuals how they run their business, execute a process, or simply get stuff done I have heard this same response off and on, "I just get it done" or "this is what I do." 🤔 I don't know that that's the right answer, my friend. You see, both action and documentation are needed in order to be successful. You need to have a process around documenting SOPs. Just because you do something, doesn't mean that it can be replicated. It's the theory of being hit by a bus. If you were hit by a bus tomorrow...2020-07-3010 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersWhat Is Your Evening Routine?You know I recorded an episode recently about self-care and being a role model to others when it comes to self-care. I mentioned routines as a way of ensuring you are taking care of yourself and as you know, I regularly talk about my morning routine. I teach my clients about a solid morning routine and having a win to carry forward into the workday. But it struck me yesterday that I haven't yet talked about an evening routine! What is your evening routine? Do you have one? You know, we can work hard to create a morni...2020-07-2913 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersTelling Stories Defines Your BrandYou know I always bring forward questions that people ask me, conversations that I have, etc. So just FYI, you have been warned that a conversation you and I have together will come upon this podcast (confidentially of course!). That said, I talk about stories a lot, and I share stories, as you already know because you are listening to my podcast. I tell stories because telling stories defines your brand. Think about it, we watch movies, read books, and listen to other people's stories because we are interested in the journey, the lessons, and we want the...2020-07-2810 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersOverwhelm Due to a Lack of AnswersAre you sitting in a state of overwhelming right now? As you know, I connect with a lot of people on a daily basis so I tend to hear some common threads from time to time. What I am finding is that a lot of people, especially female business leaders that are also spouses, moms, and the like, are all experiencing overwhelm due to a lack of answers. What does that mean? It means you are used to having all of the answers. You are used to knowing what is happening in the world, or at le...2020-07-2708 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBad Attitudes Damage Your BrandHave you ever worked with someone who has a bad attitude? I'm talking, someone who is just a jerk? They are hateful, act as they know it all, and ultimately piss everyone off. I have. What I don't get is why do companies allow that person to stay? Don't they know that employees with bad attitudes damage your brand? You know exactly who I'm talking about don't you? You can see that person in your mind. The person you worked with 10+ years ago, they don't escape you. They have been etched into your brain, the person you never wa...2020-07-2612 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersRunning Your Own Business and Someone Else'sI have done a previous episode on working a 9-5 and creating your own business on the side, aka running your own business and someone else's. But I continue to run into questions from friends and clients around the best course of action, and if it has changed during the pandemic. You see, I continue to see posts on social media that say something like "celebrate with me, I just quit my job to start my own business." When I read that I'm like, WHAT?! The word "start" is what kills me. Why would you ever give up a...2020-07-2508 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersDo You Need a New Inner Circle?You started the year strong. You had a group of like-minded women around you to help you stay focused, listen to your concerns, share suggestions and ideas, and you were ready to knock out 2020. Then, to everyone's surprise, COVID hit. Now you are questioning if the Inner Circle from January is still the same group. Do you need a new inner circle? The answer could actually be, yes. Now, I know that we typically create inner circle groups, or masterminds to stand intact for 1-2 years. It takes time to learn everyone, their businesses, to build trust, to fin...2020-07-2411 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersDo Something that Fulfills YouI continue to connect via phone/video with friends, colleagues, family, clients, etc. throughout this social distancing period. The one thing that I continue to see is people putting their heads down and working. They are hustling; trying to get it done. But they are going to a place of tasks, not a place of happiness. In this ever-changing world, I'm challenging you today to do something that fulfills you. As I said, I am constantly getting feedback where the people I know truly have intentions of breaking away, of doing something besides the routine task work, but...2020-07-2308 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBuild Solid Email RoutinesFrom time to time you know I share with you my pet peeves. They pretty much stem from a lack of fairness in the way someone leads, inefficiencies in processes, and things like a lack of ownership that then impact my ability to be successful. So I'm going to share another pet peeve today, it's around emails. And I'm going to challenge you to build solid email routines. Yes, I know, overarchingly I hate emails too. Only because they are a time suck if they aren't done right. So here are the pieces around email routines that I am g...2020-07-2214 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersSelf-Care as a Role Model BehaviorI read an article the other day in the Harvard Business Review by Whitney Johnson and Amy Humble focusing on the idea of putting your oxygen mask on first. Now, we all know that when we fly, this expectation is set with all of us. Why? Because if we don't ensure we are ok, how can we care for anyone else in the long run? We can't. Said differently, we have to be role models for our teams and those around us and the way we do that is by using self-care as a role model behavior. As le...2020-07-2109 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersAre You Thinking Like an Optimistic Realist?I have shared this mindset with you in previous episodes, but with everything happening around us, it begs the discussion once again. Are you thinking like an optimistic realist? Remember that we define this mindset as one where we are honest with ourselves about the gaps, problems, opportunities, whatever you want to call them, in our business. We can't make our businesses better, we can't adapt to the changes, we can't progress if we don't have this mindset. Why? Because this mindset is two-fold. One, I know that I can find a solution to any pro...2020-07-2007 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYou're Not an Impostor, You're Up for the ChallengeI read this post the other day on Facebook, it said: You're not an imposter, you're a beginner. When I saw that my brain immediately went, "YES!" This is what I tell my clients, just in a slightly different way: You're not an imposter, you're up for the challenge. Our inner villain wants to tell us that because we are starting something new, we are trying to fool other people into thinking we are "experts." Now, you and I both know that in reality, we aren't trying to be something we aren't. But we are trying to do som...2020-07-1907 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersBe the Anchor, Get Buy-In from Your TeamWe all continue to feel a little out of sorts when it comes to the changes in the world. We continue to hope that we will be able to get back to a little bit of normalcy, although we all know that "normal" has now been redefined. In that same perspective, there have been and will continue to be consistent changes in the way in which we work and operate our businesses, which means our teams are out there trying to navigate a storm we all hoped would have calmed by now. To that end, they are looking to you...2020-07-1808 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersDon't Compare Yourself or Your JourneyAs I mentioned yesterday, I have been trying to catch up on some podcasts and some self-learning. Yesterday I talked about Tony Robbins, today I am going to talk about Dean Graziosi. He shared some information about comparing ourselves to others, and that's what I want to talk about today. Don't compare yourself or your journey to anyone else. Ultimately what Dean talked about, and I agree, is that we are all different. We are all on different journeys. I can't compare mine to yours because I have a different path, I have different circumstances. Each o...2020-07-1708 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersAdapt Now to Win, No Matter the FutureAdapt now to win, no matter the future changes that will happen to the industry or the world. That's my challenge for you today. I was listening to Tony Robbins the other day and he did a podcast on the 6 actions you need to take in order to win. One of the key things he said was essential, don't wait, adapt. Tony went on to say how his life has changed with COVID and how it has impacted his business. If you know anything about Tony, he's constantly on the go, always traveling to different countries to do h...2020-07-1609 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersShutting Down Your VillainAs I have shared with you in other episodes, we all have an inner villain. That villain is our voice within us that causes self-doubt. Some of us have stronger villains than others. It doesn't make any of us better or worse, only the reality we each live with. Each day we wake up, try diligently to silence our villain, then move forward solving the problems we are facing in the day to move ourselves and our business forward. This episode is all about shutting down your villain. For me, I have found a way to hear the c...2020-07-1507 min

If you don't currently have a mentor, I'm sure you are working on finding your next one, so in this instance think back to your best mentor. How did they support you? I'm sure upon reflection you would say that the best mentors listen and ask questions. Right? Do you have that person in your mind? Can you see them? Do you remember your conversations? Think back to one of the most critical ones. I'm sure you called or went to meet them in person, and you shared their concern...2020-07-1406 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersThe Tools I Use in LegendI get asked from time to time about the tools I use in Legend, specifically, what I use and why.

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersAm I Strategic?If you are like most of us, you ask yourself that question off and on for . . . oh let's say at least once a week, right? The question I am referring to is: am I strategic? You see, when we think about being strategic we think we have to speak in business language. A language that, no matter our education or life experiences, can be intimidating. Whether you have an MBA or you have been responsible for a billion dollar business, when it comes to running your own business, the stakes are different. When all of it...2020-07-1109 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersWhy Should I Apologize?In business, sometimes we forget that we have to actually have emotions when we lead. It's funny but true. We get that we need to care, support, take notice, and take action in our personal lives, but because "it's business," we sometimes leave our feelings at the door. Watching clients and friends throughout my career, I had the conversation many times where the inevitable question gets asked: why should I apologize? Usually, the leader has misspoken, taken a wrong turn with their team, or simply had a bad day. When that happens, as servant leaders, we have to o...2020-07-1012 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersHow Do You Start Over In Your Business?I was chatting with a friend and she asked the tough question, Katrina how do you start over? Well, my first thought was to start over at what? Marriage? With your kids? Work? There are a lot of places we can start over. I can’t really help you with the personal relationships, so luckily she was talking about work. I started to panic a bit . . . but no, it was about business. Whew. The first thing I tell my clients, friends, even my family is that every day we wake up with a chance to be someo...2020-07-0908 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersContinue to Focus on ServingAs we continue to face unprecedented changes in the world and in business, our villain will be the first to tell us we simply don't have what it takes and that our business is going to fail. Don't let her distract you. Remember, continue to focus on serving. It's easy to stress about our businesses, the idea that we have poured ourselves into something and that it may not work. We stress because we don't have the experiences in the changing world to solve all of the problems we are facing. Our thoughts spiral and we lose focu...2020-07-0807 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersThe Time Management MatrixI used to teach the Time Management Matrix or the 4 quadrants of time management in a training course I supported during my corporate career.

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYou Don't Have to Know It AllAs I have mentioned in previous episodes, I have been listening to the free summer webinar series by Gravy and recently they had Susie Moore as the guest. She focuses on helping leaders build their confidence, amongst other things. You know me, I join every conversation, webinar, podcast, book, etc. with the intention of learning at least one thing. I know I can learn at least one "something" from every conversation, I just have to be open to it. When I entered into learning from Susie during the webinar, she dropped some great information. But one thing she said reson...2020-07-0608 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersIntentional vs Accidental ResultsWe talk regularly about how to get results. We also talk about how we must be intentional, or purposeful in our planning. Today's episode takes another step deeper into the conversation of intentional vs. accidental results. We want our business results to be intentional. We wake up each day, we set a foundation, create a strategy, and work diligently to build a brand that generates consistent measurable results. Intentional results are those that can be replicated, sustained, and built upon. Conversely, accidental results are results that happen due to luck. Think of these results as the l...2020-07-0510 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersYour Memory MattersI was reading a Harvard Business Review article the other day, and as you know, I refer to them off and on in these episodes. I love HBR because it helps me see different perspectives and look at concepts I hadn't considered before. The other day I read an article by Philip White about why your memory matters in leadership. I enjoy reading articles on memory. You see, when I was in school, I could listen to a teacher read off test questions and then a week later recall all of the multiple-choice options as well as the...2020-06-2609 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersCoach to Create a LeaderSo a few episodes ago we got your mind right when it comes to creating leaders in your business. (Go back and check out episode 126 if you missed it.) But there is one question that remains, how do I create leaders? The answer is to coach to create a leader. Right now we are busy, super busy! We are working more while working remotely than we did while working at the office. (I continue to reflect back in my mind to that recent Harvard Business Review article that says Americans are now working 3 hours more a day while...2020-05-2116 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersA Great Leader Doesn't Always Equal a Great Public SpeakerPublic speaking. For some of you, you love it. For others of you, your hands have already started to sweat and your mouth is dry just reading those two words. No matter how you feel about public speaking, I think we can all agree that a great leader doesn't always equal a great public speaker. Am I right? Think about players on a sports team. They can't speak to the media but they are amazing at leading their team to a victory. But let's say you are not a sports figure but a business owner, because hey, that's...2020-05-2013 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersGetting Unstuck in Your BusinessI have to be honest, lately, I have felt a little stuck when it comes to my business. To me, being stuck means knowing I need to push past something but just not quite able to do it. This episode is focused on getting unstuck in your business. My goal is to share with you how I get stuck and the actions I am taking to get "unstuck" such that maybe you can do the same. So what am I stuck on? It's the tactical work for me, not strategic work. I can spend hours on end brain...2020-05-1614 min

Legendary Leaders: For Female Business LeadersMental Enemies of SuccessOne of my friends asked me the other day, "Katrina, what are the mental enemies of success?" It started off as a simple conversation where we were giving each other updates about our families and businesses, and then she hit me with this. And if you have learned anything about me by listening to my other episodes, you know that when someone asks me a question like that, I have to think and then provide what I would consider at least a somewhat reasonable answer, right? 🤣 So let me tell you what I shared with her.
