    Nov 14 2024
    Are you chasing perfectionism? Can we ever really catch it? Welcome to the Elevate Up Leadership Coaching Podcast and an in-depth episode in THE YOSEMITE SERIES called "Leadership Lessons from Nature" with your Host, your Coach, and "The Sherpa" Steve Seay! In this episode, Host and Coach Steve Seay also known as the Sherpa, concludes his five-part Yosemite series by exploring the profound life lessons learned during a recent wilderness adventure. --- Steve shares insights from his time with leaders Yamini, Barry, and Lucas, focusing on the symbolism of carrying heavy loads in both nature and daily life. He dives into the principles of self-forgiveness, illustrating its importance in releasing negative core beliefs and replacing them with positive affirmations. Steve contrasts the futile pursuit of perfectionism with the attainable practice of mastery, encouraging listeners to measure their progress based on past achievements rather than unreachable ideals. Let's talk about this concept of a life team: Imagine the emotional, physical, and moral support that a close-knit group of individuals can provide. Steve stresses the value of having a diverse and supportive tribe to help navigate life's challenges. --- Are you looking to partake in an epic, transformational journey?

  • QUICK HIT: How to weather life's storms

    QUICK HIT: How to weather life's storms
    Oct 31 2024

    We can learn so many lessons from TREES! Their roots represent a solid foundation while their branches reach towards the sky. They teach us how to weather life's storms WHILE continuing to grow. Coach Steve is taking us to visit the "trees" in today's episode of "Leadership Lessons from Nature".

    Welcome to the Elevate Up Leadership Coaching Podcast and an in-depth episode in THE YOSEMITE SERIES called "Leadership Lessons from Nature" with your Host, your Coach, and "The Sherpa" Steve Seay!

    Before we get into the episode, check this out! The COUNTDOWN to the 2nd Mountain Project is on. This NEW program launches in January 2025. Tap HERE to grab your spot.

    Coach Steve starts this episode with a deep reflection from his amazing FIVE-DAY Wilderness Experience in Yosemite. The idea is to capture how nature symbolizes something in our personal and professional life that we are also embarking on. Today, we're going to unpack what that looks with this episode on "TREES".

    Trees symbolize aspiration and potential. They also show resilience and endurance. They withstand different season and harsh conditions.

    LISTEN FOR THESE MOMENTS:

    "Trees represent connection and community. They have this interconnectedness with the roots forming this unseen network beneath the ground. This symbolizes relationships, family and the importance of community support. Trees also symbolize life and renewal. They undergo cycles of shedding leaves and regrowing themselves."

    Start a Business with Duct Tape and Sandbags | EVERYDAY HEROES with Manuel Flores
    Oct 24 2024

    Ask yourself this question: WHY NOT ME?

    Welcome to the Elevate Up Leadership Coaching Podcast and a deep-dive episode in our "EVERYDAY HEROES" series with your Host, your Coach, and "The Sherpa" Steve Seay!

    Coach Steve's guest today is Manuel Flores. He is a part-time Respiratory Therapist and part-time Personal Trainer of his own company (On the Clock Fitness). Manuel was an only child from the Mojave Desert surrounded by a large Hispanic family, but he looked into the beautiful desert horizon and always knew there was more of him elsewhere. Traveling and living in multiple cities until he settled in Roseville, California. It was here where he began working full time in retail and going to school full time to pursue a dream and eventually becoming a respiratory therapist. Living in Roseville he and his wife (at the time) raised a beautiful family of 3 kids. Unfortunately going through divorce and raising 3 kids on his own had struggles of its own. But he pressed on, knowing there was more for him. His passion for exercise and coaching his kid’s sports pulled him in a direction he never knew. He became a personal trainer. Having his own idea of a business plan he decided to start his own training business called On the Clock Fitness (OTC). He is now working part time as a trainer and part time as a Respiratory therapist and married to his lovely wife and best friend Christina. Between the two of them having 5 kids, now mostly grown and starting families of their own. Now life continues on, and he loves the life he and Christina have built and continue to grow

    LISTEN FOR THIS MOMENT: "I think it's really important to have routines. Having routines is the foundation of freedom. When you don't have those routines, your life can be in chaos. And having those set routines that you live by daily, it just helps kind of helps hone things in a little bit better. For me, it's simple. Starting the day out making my bed is probably one of the biggest habits that I do every morning. Then, I always get into a workout first thing in the morning. I love getting the blood pumping first thing."

    The Recipe for Creating a Life You Adore | EVERYDAY HEROES with Andy Holloway
    Oct 17 2024

    Believing in your innate resourcefulness, creativity and wholeness is the foundation for the recipe of creating a life you ADORE!

    Welcome to the Elevate Up Leadership Coaching Podcast and a deep-dive episode in our "EVERYDAY HEROES" series with your Host, your Coach, and "The Sherpa" Steve Seay!

    Coach Steve's guest today is a Leadership & Business Coach, originally from just outside of London, UK. He now lives as a digital nomad and entrepreneur residing in Mexico for 1-year. Meet Andy Holloway, a seasoned business and leadership coach who’s been empowering entrepreneurs and leaders for over a decade with a blend of spiritual wisdom and practical savvy. With a knack for transforming lives and businesses, Andy helps people unlock their innate resourcefulness, creativity, and wholeness, ensuring no challenge feels insurmountable. He’s the co-founder of Conscious Co-Working, a vibrant community for digital nomads and new locals to forge meaningful connections and banish loneliness, all while soaking up the sun in beautiful Playa del Carmen, Mexico. When Andy is not coaching or building community, you can find him channeling his inner alchemist in the kitchen, whipping up culinary delights that mirror his life philosophy: taking the raw ingredients of existence and creating something truly magical. So, get ready to dive into an inspiring conversation with a man who believes that when you truly love yourself, you can create a life you adore!

    LISTEN FOR THIS MOMENT: "A lot of the time, people just want something a bit different - a bit of change. Maybe they are stuck in their routines. There are ways you can create that wherever you are - you don't necessarily need to be a nomad to figure that out. Maybe it's in your relationship - there's room for adventure. I think you can transform anything you're currently experiencing and take a different look at it."

    Andy is currently creating a 6-month program with fellow ex-Emyth coach John Guanci called ‘From Constriction to Conviction’ where they’ll be taking 20 people on a journey to overcome their biggest blocks and to create the life they’ve always dreamed of.

  • QUICK HIT: Preparing for the Unknown

    QUICK HIT: Preparing for the Unknown
    Oct 10 2024

    How are you preparing for the unknown? Can we fully prepare? Coach Steve answers these common questions in today's episode of "Leadership Lessons from Nature".

    Welcome to the Elevate Up Leadership Coaching Podcast and an in-depth episode in THE YOSEMITE SERIES called "Leadership Lessons from Nature" with your Host, your Coach, and "The Sherpa" Steve Seay!

    Before we get into the episode, check this out! The COUNTDOWN to the 2nd Mountain Project is on. This NEW program launches in January 2025. Tap HERE to grab your spot.

    Coach Steve starts this episode with a deep reflection from his amazing FIVE-DAY Wilderness Experience in Yosemite. The idea is to capture how nature symbolizes something in our personal and professional life that we are also embarking on. Today, we're going to unpack what that looks with this episode on "TRAILS".

    Trails symbolize the twists and turns in life. It's the walk in pursuit of something greater - seeking more knowledge, self-discovery, or new experiences!

    LISTEN FOR THESE MOMENTS:

    "No matter how much time I spend studying various trails - and researching people's comments on the routes - it was still impossible to fully prepare for the trail we had picked (in Yosemite). I had an idea of what the trail might look like and what we might experience in that - but it was impossible to fully prepare for the unknown twists and turns. I had not been there yet, how could I?".
