Going North Podcast

We are all called to a purpose and taking care of your body helps you fulfill that purpose.   Today's featured bestselling authors and the 1st couple ever featured on this podcast are Dr. Eric & Sabrina Ann Zielinski. This fun episode talked about healthy natural living, biblical principals and getting started with adding essential oils into your daily routine.    Key Takeaways: Weight loss will happen when you reduce the number of toxins you intake from various sources like aerosols, certain beauty products, etc.   Give your body time to detox and acclimate to certain changes when switching over to using essential oils.   Your body is a temple.   Recognize the things that are working and not working.   Proper planning prevents poor performance.   The food you choose to eat affects your health. Eat more natural food that doesn’t have nutritional labels.   Give yourself and your body grace. Allow time to do its magic.     Related Episodes: Episode 6 - "Eat to Thrive" with Katie Sampayo (@katie_sampayo): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-6-eat-to-thrive-with-katie-sampayo-katie_sampayo   Episode 58 - "Top Keys for Weight Loss" with Christy Callahan Cromwell (@ChristyCromwel1): https://goingnorth.libsyn.com/58-top-keys-for-weight-loss-with-christy-callahan-cromwell     The opening track is called "Aqua & Trees Type R" by Rukunetsu AKA Project R.

"Bad leaders teach us what not to do." - Kevin Wayne Johnson   Today's featured bestselling author is a fellow certified John Maxwell Team Coach, Speaker and Trainer, Kevin Wayne Johnson. Kevin and I talk about 3 characteristics that every leader should have, what every millennial leader should consider as their first steps in a new role and tons more!   Key Takeaways:   The 3 qualities that every leader should have would include integrity, character, and good communication.   Active listening shows that you care and that makes you an effective communicator.   Leaders always are learning and they place themselves in an environment that promotes continuous learning. One method of connecting will not always work because everyone receives messages differently and learns differently.   Being a leader doesn’t mean that you have the answer. It means that you must engage your team at a higher level than ever.   When leading multiple generations, never assume what each one needs. Meet them at their point of need and ask for feedback.   Engage those around you instead of making assumptions.   Diversity & Inclusion is the hot topic among non-profit organizations and churches.   Try to read a minimum of 1 book a month. Especially a leadership book.   Keep a book or 2 with you if you travel a lot by air.   Kevin's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Kevin-Wayne-Johnson/e/B003GQLXUG?follow-button-add=B003GQLXUG_author   Kevin's Site: http://kevinwaynejohnson.com/about/   You can find more resources and leadership training programs on findcourses.com

A mentor should also be a role model.   Today's featured author is a fellow millennial and Baltimorean, Darrick T.

Those that don’t like you but they like what you        are trying to get done.   4. Those who don’t like you and don’t like your            dream.
