Coach Mo Faul- America's Kick Ass Career Coach

In this hurried, social-media frenzied world we live in, many of us forget to stop and check in with numero uno (that’s right, you!). All the more to look inside every now and then. It is no accident that with the pace of the world we see a surge in Yoga and Meditation. These practices help to slow our world down to one where the voices and energy inside can be heard.

This week’s KICK ASS Career we are on S - for Speaking. Many people say they aren’t good presenters, “that’s just for salespeople”. I say, You can and you must! Speaking is essential to every area of success. Over the years I have seen so many people transform their careers, their relationships and their ability to network.

This week’s KICK ASS Career we are on A - for Action When I start a video, my videographer says “ACTION!” Now I have to be “ON”. If I didn’t know what I was going to say, I’d be lost. When the director yells ACTION, we have to ACT.

This week we stay on career, I am obsessed with helping you succeed and sharing my “secrets” to success. Each one is now a part of the “Kick Ass Career” Series. Why? Because I don’t know a better name for being at your best! Follow this week’s techniques and you just may feel a bit more bounce in your step!

We're into Kickass Career time where we had the first “K” for Knowing, the “I” for Integrity, and now we are on to the “C” for Clarity. Your own Clarity is where your power is. Clarity means everything. For those in the career workshop, I've seen this come to light in amazing, amazing ways!

There is more to integrity than meets the eye. It’s not just telling the truth. Here are four tests to tell if you have the character of true success.   This week’s post is for your kickass career and life, the “I” in Kick ASS. For a kickass career or life, you must have the utmost integrity. This creates such a great flow in our life and opens us up to the natural ease of life. With FULL integrity, we are undivided, inside and out.

Kindness is really at the heart of some of the best decisions and best action I've taken, especially in the workplace. A lot of people confuse kindness with being nice. The difference between the two is that kindness is something that emanates from within. Nice is when you're trying to be pleasing to others outside. I'm not saying nice is not a valuable thing to be. Sometimes, though, we can get a little too nice and actually give a little too much of ourselves away in the spirit of trying to be pleasing or sometimes over helpful to others.

Templates That Can HURT us Togetherness is an interesting part of a most life because we all have to connect with other people, and we all have to be connected to others. There is no such thing as singularity in this world. It's also a big part of a fulfilling career, and a great work environment. How we come Together with others has everything to do with the template OF our mind and OF our psyche. This “software” is hard-coded to how we relate both to authority figures and those under us. There is so much more, but this part is essential at having a great rapport with others, especially at work where so much of our time is spent.

Speaking and carrying on a conversation with someone can be tricky enough but now we have to also think about how we listen too? We have all heard how valuable body language is when we are speaking, but the real important body language happens while we are LISTENING!

This week we focus on “O” for organization. I love goal setting and have been doing it for decades. For the most part I have achieved what I set out to achieve. Many people I speak to, however, do not set goals. Yet, they do achieve some things. Naturally, they conclude goals are not necessary, nice job, nice family, nice home, what else do I need? The secret to accomplishing more escapes most people and that is why they convince themselves that goals aren’t needed.

We spend more time at work than anywhere else. More than sleeping, more than Facebook (yup, or at least that should be correct), more than time with our family, at least during the week. If you work the “typical” weekday 9-5 routine or some aspect of that, your daily time is with your work and people at work. How’s it going for you? Are you fulfilled? I spent years in different jobs, because they met my skills and I was earning a living, just like I was taught.

Who do you want to be was a common question as we were growing up? Just like Mom or Dad? A Favorite Uncle? A famous sport figure? As we define ourselves and desire to be better and have more, who do we want to be? Careful, let’s use pieces, but let’s keep what makes us unique, here’s how.

This topic is on my mind all the time as I hear myself saying things like, my knee is sore therefore I can’t run or, “I don’t do that”… as my family laughs, knowing that I DO, DO THAT! Limiting beliefs and thinking is a tough territory to maneuver. Most likely, people around us hear these limiting beliefs come out of our mouth when we don’t realize it. We say things and repeat them, ingraining in our minds and intellect with firm beliefs and positions, we argue for our own limiting paradigm.   I was walking Maggy (my lovely dog, awwww) the other day, and a neighbor said she started sailing lessons. She always wanted to learn to sail a boat. Inside me I was thinking, “that’s great, but are you in shape for that?” (of course that is my inner voice, I stood, transfixed as limiting thinking spewed out of my mind, my intellect was creating lots of limits, for me and for her...ughhhh). mymostlife.com

In the US this weekend is the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day and we celebrate the brave men and women who have  defended our freedom. Let’s raise a glass to Memorial Day and the start of summer. My inner "mixologist" comes out when I see limes, lemons and fresh berries. This week I have my own recipes and mix ups! A little fruit, some citrus, herbs, sweetener and  some soda water. You can use your own ingredients or one of my recipes, learn how to  muddle on my video demonstrations! Make a MOCKTAIL with friends, family and the kids! 

What is a MasterMind group? It is a concept described by Napoleon Hill in his epic success book, Think & Grow Rich. Back by popular demand I am starting another Book Club, coaching through this book. A MasterMind is a collection of people who come together to focus on their goals and create a harmonious and supportive space. The harmony and group support creates a new energy that each member of the MasterMind can tap into.  Perhaps each of you in your MasterMind are contemplating starting a part-time business. Maybe one member is good at sales, one at accounting, one at networking, one at social media. Each person will support each individual’s overall definite purpose and contribute insights of their expertise to each other. This supportive environment allows for each person to move and grow toward their goals.

Mo Faul describes the way to breakthrough the harming, limiting inner voices we all have. Listen to hear her treatment for those nagging bullies inside.

Look out, it could be the source of your headaches, tiredness, sinus problems or hot-flashes. Soon after a big life event, especially one that is life-threatening we take stock of our life. What can I do to not have this happen again? What was my role in this? Is there something I need to change to live the life I REALLY want? I came to understand that lotions and creams, deodorants, toothpastes all are absorbed into our body. Lotions and creams are engineered to be better absorbed. So, they are driven into our body with chemicals. What happens when those ingredients are toxic and change the functions of our body?

Journaling is an important part of many successful people’s routine. It helps everyday to stay in touch with your purpose and goals. I have always liked writing my thoughts, from the first little locked diary I received as a little girl to the leather bound journal I have now from a Tony Robbins event I attended in January. My journals over the years have run the gamut from composition notebooks to fancy journals with style. There is magic in putting pen to paper and having your own hand form words and emotionally connect to the page, connect to the words and to how you feel. It is true magic to be still and internal and connect with the YOU inside. You are important and unique, find your voice and your dreams, have them come alive. Each entry I have made over the years have the same things in common, a piece of me is there. Sometimes I read the entries from years ago, and I can’t believe the catharsis found there. Some days it was joy, some days frustration, some fear, some gratitude. When I writ

Each one of us has a perspective of what the universal connection of love and energy means. Whether you are religious or not, we must be aware that there is an endless connecting energy between us, right now, you and me. We are all connected to each other through this divine source. This energy shapes itself in response to our thoughts. Let me say it another way, our thoughts shape the physical world in which we live. Connect with your source and live a richer life by tapping into your divine energy. It is an unlimited supply of love and blessings. This place can be accessed through meditation, prayer, quiet reflection, breath work, yoga and other activities where you are able to shut out the physical world and go inside.
