Shelly Before the Peacefully Ambitious CEO

Shelly talks about her life before joining the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching program. You can see the full version of this on her "before" recording as Ep. 165 of the Joyous Profits podcast. 

Many Peacefully Ambitious CEO  clients are former podcast guests that volunteered to be coached on air on their Peaceful Profits Roadmap. This provides a unique opportunity to witness a real time "before" and "after" with our client transformations. 

 

Below is a summary of where Shelly was before going through Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching: 

  • Shelly has  raised over 135 million for charity in the past 17 years and still struggled with feelings of self-doubt
  • She needlessly but constantly questioned her worthiness and obsessively worried about her likability 
  • Despite her accolades Shelly had a limiting inner narrative around  "not wanting to come across as arrogant"  which always kept her playing small in business 
  • Additionally, that same limiting pattern was reinforced by the fear of judgment which never fully allowed her to embrace her accomplishments
  • These patterns caused her to unnecessarily lose business to less qualified auctioneers

Shelly After the Peacefully Ambitious CEO

Overcome her People Pleasing:

  • Let go of negative comments and experiences from the past that subconsciously caused her to always ensure people liked her 
  • Realized she didn't have to revise her personality or job based on others' opinions
  • Developed a strong sense of self-confidence and personal power
  • Improved ability to recognize that others' opinions don't define her true self

Eliminated Her Inner Critic From Showing up in Her Business 

  •  
  • Learned to recognize and release harsh self-judgment patterns that kept her playing small
  • Allowed her to embrace and own the massive accolades she's had in her career and use that to close 5 new auctioneering contracts 
  • Realized that minor mistakes or missteps didn't warrant excessive stress or self-criticism
  • Stopped closing herself off from success, celebration, and meaningful connections with others
  • Embraced the understanding that she is her own worst critic, but learned to limit its impact
  • Developed the ability to differentiate between personal judgment and others' reactions
  • Became better equipped to turn self-judgment into positive growth 
  •  

Eliminated the Inner Resistence Towards Consistent Lead Generation 

  •  
  • Because she stopped self sabotaging she developed consistency in her lead generation efforts
  • Consistently pitched her auctioneering services to 10-15 people per day after months of 10-15 reach outs per month 
  • This led to closing 5 contracts duing her time in the UpLevel Mind Program
  • Overcame fear and built internal fortitude to pick up the phone and make calls
  • Gained confidence in showing her passion and energy during phone conversations
  • Recognized the value of what she does and confidently conveyed it to others
  •  

No Longer Self Sabotaged Her Efforts in Business

  • Discovered and addressed deep-rooted self-sabotage patterns
  • Recognized the role of her inner child in protecting herself from potential harm which showed up as self sabotage in her lead generation efforts  
  • Realized the impact of past experiences on her fear of judgment and rejection
  • Identified childhood origins of self-sabotaging behaviors and dysfunctional family dynamics
  • Developed behaviors that shielded her from forming connections and seeking community both in her personal and business life 
  • Acknowledged the influence of feeling undeserving in attracting certain people and business into her life
