CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

7 Year Cycles: Lacie shares how she learned that we have 7-year cycles, and that she has repeats of her “7-year cycle”. Lacie reflects back on her educational path and the thought process that went into her journey.She was fortunate that she was able to fast track her education. She graduated, went into private practice, general practice with a exposure to in house and ultimately into executive management. Lacie realized how she loved energy then executive management which led to her joining in a start up! Introspection and seeing the opportunities, seizing them! Tenacity is one of her core values. Do you see the bright neon lights flashing…Lacie gives credit to her husband for his super solid support and #1 fan! Being remarried with a healthy blended family is a huge blessing.

Coaching: She shares how rewarding her executive coaching experience last years was for her. Lacie shares how coaching, reading a lot of books and consulting with successful people helped her take ownership of her schedule for control and enjoyment. Bam!

Lacie talks about her support system, picking and selected good people is important. Again, reflecting today on her growth over the last decade. Her PGA golf tour analogy is a good one. She gives credit where credit is due! As a Mom and Wife, Lacie shares that we sometimes put ourselves 2^nd, 3^rd or 4th (truth)…then at the end of 2020 she noticed that she felt stuck and frustrated. She tells us more about her executive coaching journey. She was able to connect with a strong coach who helped her overcome some significant hurdles. It helped her access and optimize with one degree of medications. Listen to her Steam Engine story…LOVE IT!

Core Values: Lacie talks about her schedule, she is pretty structured. The first thing she does in the morning is set her intention for the day. What does she need from the day, what does the day need from her. Sometimes is primarily work, sometimes it is family. Work-Life integration is one of her core values, everything blends. She is celebrating her 40^th Birthday today and Lacie shares that it’s just recently that she owns her calendar and schedule! She thinks through her priorities to maximize each 30-minute block. Lacie had a great point when discussing calendars and schedules-when it feels like something is wrong-how can we be good at what we are doing when we aren’t truly present and productive without any control in our day. She shares that only in the very recent year(s) gained control of her schedule-it does take work.
