We’ve made a big decision. We’ve decided to go ALL IN. What does it mean to go ALL IN? Going ALL IN means saying no to some things we love. Like this podcast. Yep, we’re throwing in the towel. But you might be surprised to learn why. Give the podcast a listen and consider where in your life you might want to go ALL IN too.

My FB Live from Wednesday 04/03/19 has been uploaded as a bonus episode on Tap Into Your Power: The Amplify Project Podcast.  This week we discussed former Vice President Joe Biden, and the importance of always increasing your nonverbal intelligence if you're going to be a successful communicator.  Get more episodes at www.amplify-project.com/podcast

Ready to learn your second superpower? We finally are going to talk about body language and how to increase your nonverbal intelligence. Why have we waited so long? Give the podcast a listen and find out. You might be surprised. Purposeful body language is essential if you ever want to show up powerfully in the world. Enjoy!

On this FB Live episode, we discuss how your don't have to show up as overpowering to feel like you're living in your power.  

All of us have superpowers. Powers we can use to help us claim lives of meaning and purpose, stand in our worth, and own the shit out of our greatness. In the next several podcasts, we’ll explore these superpowers and show you how to access them. Today’s podcast begins with the biggest superpower of all: BREATHING. Give it a listen.

On this FB Live Episode, we talk about the power of failing.  Failing means that you've taken a risk, you've tried something new, you're willing to grow and stretch and learn.  We celebrate this in children and yet we beat ourselves up for it.  Today we break that down.  

“This is a nightmare!” “I’m so overwhelmed” “I never get ahead.” Careful. Your language shapes your experience. How you talk about your life, yourself, or anything else has the power to affect everything. You must recognize that how you talk isn’t narrating the experience you’re having but creating it. To find out why, and ways to change your language, listen to today’s podcast.

On this FB Live episode, we discuss the choices we make in order to structure the kind of life from which we don't want to escape.  This is "self-care."

Do you ever feel like an imposter? You know, like someone will figure out once and for all that you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE DOING? I used to say that everyone suffers from imposter syndrome, but that’s not exactly true. It’s only those people who are pushing the envelope and taking risks that experience imposter syndrome. To find out why, and ways to combat imposter syndrome, take a listen to today’s podcast.

My FB Live from Wednesday 03/06/19 has been uploaded as a bonus podcast episode on Tap Into Your Power: The Amplify Project Podcast.  This week we discussed why it's so important that we rethink "authenticity."  Get more episodes at www.amplify-project.com/podcast

My work helps you find your voice and amplify it. But what do I mean by “your voice?” And why is it important for you to find it? Finding your voice is really all about finding yourself. Who are you and how do you want to show up in the world? Once you know that, you can amplify your voice through nonverbal skills and become really powerful. Give the podcast a listen to learn ways to find your voice and amplify it.

On this FB Live Episode, we build on the idea of "range" as it applies to communication (both verbal and nonverbal).  The challenge is to expand your range, which draws you out of your comfort zone, but provides the true path to living in your power.  It's a constant battle of choosing Power or Comfort.

“What’s with all the self-development stuff, Sari?” You may have noticed that I’m ALL about getting you to unpack your “stuff” lately. But you also know, if you’ve followed me for a while, that I am a communications guru who helps people up their game. What I realized over the past fifteen years is that skills are not enough. If you want to take your communication to the next level, you’ve got to start on the inside. And that’s because you communicate who you are. If you’re anxious, nervous, scared, or simply unaware, you will communicate it. Give a listen to the podcast to find out why. Body language begins in the brain. If you want to fix your communication, you’ve got to first fix your brain.

On this FB Live Episode, we discuss the power question "Do you want to be comfortable or powerful?" It's a re-broadcast from my Facebook Live on Wednesday 02/20/19 with special guest Coach Kevin de la Motte.

Stuff. We’ve all got stuff. You know, baggage. Old stories we’ve been dragging around, most likely since childhood, that we’ve never examined or let go of. The problem is that if you never look at your “stuff” it continues to inform your choices and direct your life without you even knowing it. After years of working with clients who’ve had trouble changing a communication pattern in their life, I can say with certainty there’s always ‘stuff’ behind it. In today’s podcast we’re talking about where our stuff comes from, how to unearth it, and what to do with it once you bring it to the surface. Your stuff is pretty powerful. But only because you haven’t unpacked it yet.   I think you’ll find once you open up that old suitcase and begin to empty it out, you feel a lot lighter.   Give us a listen and find out.  

On this FB Live Episode, we discuss the power question "Does your story serve you?" It's a re-broadcast from my Facebook Live on Tuesday 02/12/19.

Once upon a time… Say those four words and most of us will pull up a chair and eagerly anticipate what comes next. The brain is wired to love and enjoy stories. Unfortunately, most of the stories we tell ourselves are harmful. You walk into a room where two people are talking, and they stop. BOOM: enter made-up story. “Are they talking about me?” “What did I do?” “I bet they know something I don’t know…” Or maybe your type of story is the one you create that happens in the future: “If I don’t land that client, we’re sunk.” “How will I handle it if my mom doesn’t make it?” “My husband is going to cheat on me because I gained all this weight, I just know it.” Here’s the problem: we communicate based on our stories. And this is a problem because most of our stories aren’t true/never come true! What wasted energy. If you want to TAP into your power you’ve got to get a hold of your stories and tell yourself some new ones. In today’s podcast Kevin and I talk about why stories are so dangerous and how to STOP. Does

“You’re so stupid.” “Why can’t you ever figure anything out?” “How did you ever think you’d be able to pull this off?” We all have a voice in our heads, a voice that tells us we shouldn’t even try, that we’re going to screw it up, that it’s safer to just hang back and keep the status quo. That voice is the Inner Critic. And until and unless you get control of it, you’re going to struggle with tapping into your power. Personal power is kryptonite to the Inner Critic. Because personal power means you’re willing to risk, willing to fail, willing to put it out there in a big way. In today’s podcast we’ll talk about how to Identify, Quiet and Manage the Inner Critic. Unfortunately, you can’t ever get rid of it completely. But you can stop it from ruling your life and limiting your power. Give us a listen to learn how.

On this FB Live Episode, we're talking about the question "What flaw do you want to embrace?" There are just some things in your make up that must be embraced in order to plug into, not erase, your greatest strengths.  Then you can truly tap into your power and live your best life on your terms. 

The first time my coach asked me what I wanted, before I could stop myself I blurted, “What the hell does that have to do with anything?” Want feels so…indulgent. So…selfish. So…WRONG. But here’s the problem: without WANT there is no WILL. It’s not selfish. It’s not indulgent. It’s REQUIRED if you want to TAP into your power. Today’s podcast goes into this in depth. Check it out.
