Background
Introducing Go Long’s inaugural special guest star, Melissa Bloom. She is the founder of Full Bloom Coaching and we met when I was a client of hers.
We stayed in touch after I left my previous role. When I told her about Go Long, she became one of the early supporters.
One of the themes I hear from clients on a regular basis is around establishing boundaries. This goes for both personal and professional lives. As I started thinking this through, I thought of Melissa and her work with executives. Some of the exercises she went through with me really helped me in this area.
With the holidays rapidly approaching, Melissa was the perfect guest to kick things off. I’m really grateful for her insights and for her time in getting this endeavor off of the ground.
Quick Takeaways
Melissa: Define what good looks like and be proactive about making those conditions happen. Celebrate the wins. Most people do not take enough time to do that, but you’re worthy of those wins.
Jill: Making changes in your life can feel uncomfortable. It may feel as though you’re taking a step back. But you’re investing in yourself. Communicate to the people in your life where they can help.
