I absolutely love to travel! And I know you do, too.

Travel satisfies our sense of wonder and discovery. It gives us a break from the mundane. We find beauty and novelty.

But travel can also be unnerving. You are at the mercy of schedules and all manner of uncertainty.

For August, I spoke to two beloved members of our Women on Fire community who also happen to be travel pros. Their insider tips and advice will bring you the thrill of adventure and peace of mind!

Janet Simmonds (pictured on right) is a longtime tour guide and travel writer, and Mary Burnett Brown (left) has been a flight attendant for nearly four decades.

From the practical to the inspirational and even the silly, Mary and Janet tell all!

 

In this interview, they share:

• Three secrets to successful travel
• Helpful ideas for what and how to pack
• Tried-and-true strategies for fighting jet lag
• How to ensure a safe trip no matter where your bucket list takes you…and so much more!

Whether you’re a novice traveler or a seasoned tourist, I know you’ll be inspired and enriched by Janet and Mary’s insights. Plus, this conversation with these delightful pros is a hoot!

Our next Live Chat master class is 8PM EDT, Tuesday, August 14, 2018, featuring Mary Brown and Janet Simmonds answering your questions about travel!

We hope you’ll join us!

Happy travels to you,

Are you a rebel?

Or maybe you think of rebels as troublemakers and outcasts and choose instead to follow the rules to get along.

This month, we take a fresh look at rule-breaking. Francesca Gino, a Harvard Business School professor and a behavioral scientist and researcher, shows us why and how to be a rebel.

She is the author of an exhilarating new book called Rebel Talent: Why It Pays to Break the Rules at Work and in Life.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How a small change in your language can open you up to a new world of possibilities
• Why rebels can be a force for positive change in life
• The 5 characteristics of rebel talent we all can unlock
• The approach from improv comedy that will make others listen to your rebel ideas…and so much more!

In the After Interview, Kim Dettmer (above with Francesca’s book) — an artist, author and one of our original Women on Fire members — shares why she sees herself as a rebel.

I can’t wait to hear about the rebel you see in yourself!

With love,

When conflict appears in your life, is your first thought how to avoid it?

Many people grow up in tension-filled homes where it is easier to stuff down anger and resentment than to confront it. Evading conflict becomes a habit, an escape.

But engaging in it can be the more satisfying path, leading to deeper relationships based on trust and understanding.

The June membership interview will show you the way.

Guiding us through this thorny subject is someone Women on Fire have come to rely on: Rob Berkley.

Rob is a master-certified executive coach with decades of experience working through this common struggle with couples, business partners and corporate teams.

He is also my husband and the person I’ve had — and resolved —more conflict with than anyone!

Rob takes us, step by step, through the major types of conflict and how to reach resolutions that create healthier, happier lives and work environments.

Listen in here as Rob describes what conflict is — and what it isn’t:

With the powerful tools Rob shares, you will sail through these uncomfortable situations to the benefit of both sides.

In the rest of the interview, you’ll learn:

• What “conflict” means — and does not mean — in a healthy relationship
• The four types of conflict and how to resolve each
• How to allow both sides to feel heard and understood
• The one behavior you must eliminate to successfully resolve any conflict
• The best time to raise the subject of conflict with your partner
• Why you should seek understanding rather than agreement
• Ways to minimize conflicts before you sign a contract for professional services
• A counter-intuitive benefit from resolving conflicts

Good conflict is the keystone of strong relationships, whether personal or professional. And you can learn to embrace it starting today!

With love,

Are you struggling to live the life of your dreams?

At times, all we see in the pathway are the obstacles. They overwhelm and discourage us.

But I am here to tell you that you can awaken to your full potential. You CAN achieve your dreams!

In the interview this month, I spoke with a woman who will prove that to you and inspire you to new heights.

Dr. Tererai Trent was born in Zimbabwe into a poor family. Like her mother and grandmothers, she was a child bride. She received little education and, by the age of 18, she was the mother of four.

But Tererai had big dreams. And she made them all come true. Today, Tererai has a Ph.D. She travels the world as an educator, humanitarian, motivational speaker and author.

Tererai’s mission in life is to help other women achieve their dreams. Her book, The Awakened Woman: Remembering & Igniting Our Sacred Dreams, is a must-read!

In the interview, Tererai speaks about the barriers in her life and how she moved beyond them. In this clip, she talks about the chief problem women face in the world:

Oprah has said that Tererai was her all-time favorite guest on her show. Tererai’s story will leave you in awe, too.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How the silencing of women is one of the great moral failures in the world
• Ways to stop accepting a past that doesn’t serve you
• The life-changing effects of women’s support
• Tererai’s simple strategies for visualizing a dream and keeping it in focus
• The small step she took to get Oprah to write a foreword to her book – something Oprah said she never does
• How identifying what breaks your heart can help you discover your greatest passion
• Secrets to tapping into the power of the universe
