When the Right Gear Changed Everything

Ever faced a freezing day that flips your view on winter?

A trip to Niagara Falls in winter did that to me. The mist from the falls froze into icicles on all the trees, roof edges, railings and walkways. Icy snow and frigid wind blew everywhere. I had worried I’d freeze, miserable as fuck. Honestly, I can’t stand the cold. That’s no exaggeration! Luckily for me, my partner Chris is ex U.S Airforce and works at the highest level of strategy at the Pentagon in D.C and knows a thing or two about Preparedness. Chris is an ‘accessories’ man. A firm believer that if you have the right equipment, life is better.

Knowing how much I hate the cold he made sure I had all the right gear. A well-padded arctic parker from LL Bean protected me from the elements and kept me snug all over. Sturdy snow boots and heavy-duty snow gloves from Columbia gave me the perfect protection for my fingers and toes. Matching marino wool neck gaiter, beanie and thermal under layers hugged me like a welcome friend.

For sure I looked like the ‘Michelin Man’ – you could have rolled me down the pavement and I would have bounced along safely. ‘Oompa Loompa’ vibes were real, but damn I was warm. Not one part of my body felt cold except for the areas that I chose to have exposed. When sudden peri-menopausal hot flashes hit, the frisk air was a welcome respite on my hands, face and neck.

I looked at the falls, frozen in time. The cold air should have made me shiver to the core, but I felt more warm and more alive than ever. Not a hint of chill. Turns out, having the right gear changes a dreaded icy trip into a fun and magical adventure.

And isn’t that a bit like business? Having the right tools makes all the difference. With spot on support, you turn struggles into successes. Things that seemed hard become easy, joyful and fun.

No more needless suffering.

Ready to equip yourself with the right tools, and support strategies in business and in life? At The Ninja’s Edge webinar I’ll show you how to Unleash the Power Advantage to turn obstacles into opportunities.

Tired of Pretending It’s All Fine?

It’s been quite the week!

With my Closer out, I had to take on sales calls again. And what a wake-up call it was.

This morning, I spoke with an executive who was functioning on the fumes of stress and overwhelm. Papers everywhere, phone buzzing nonstop, shallow chest breathing, jittery fingers, almost every sentence started with, “I’m a fucking mess.” She was really in need.

As we talked, I sensed her mix of relief and desperation. She knew she needed help. I kept thinking about how my work has assisted so many just like her transform the chaos.

In life’s chaos, it’s easy to forget there’s help out there. We get so caught up trying to manage everything ourselves that we miss the solutions right in front of us. She finally realised that ‘lone wolfing’ it was making her sick.

Just like that executive found some hope, you can too. Admitting things are out of control is okay. What matters is taking the first step toward change.

If you’re ready to find balance and bring peace to the chaos…

I’m here, ready to listen and help.

I’m holding a webinar to help more people find calm amongst the chaos.

It’s the first of its kind.

Don’t worry, I’ve kept it affordable.

The Evolution of Business Paradigms: From Traditional to Spiritual Entrepreneurship

As ‘The Spiritual Entrepreneur’ and a renowned motivational speaker, Pauline Nguyen continues to hold her spot as a powerful player in the world of conscious leadership training, speaking on entrepreneurship and wellbeing for over fifteen years.

Sharing her profound insights on this, Pauline leads the way in conscious governance through her profound wisdom, paving the way for CEOs, consultants and executives toward enlightened business management.

What is Mindful Leadership?

Through her teachings and keynote speeches, Pauline shows us how mindful leadership, at its core, is the transformative approach to managing business with a deep focus on self-awareness, empathy, and consciousness.

The sacred practice involves being fully present, making deliberate decisions, and cultivating an environment that fosters well-being and growth for both execs, clients, and whole teams – something that is crucial for sustainable and ongoing success.

What is a Spiritual Entrepreneur?

A spiritual entrepreneur is a leader who understands the importance of nurturing a positive workplace culture. They are deeply committed to personal development, allowing them to lead with authenticity, resilience, and compassion.

Pauline reminds us that true conscious management transcends traditional paradigms: mindful trailblazers prioritise emotional intelligence, active listening, inspiration, and ethical decision-making as they drive business forward.

Differentiating Religion and Spirituality

For a long time, spirituality and religion were used interchangeably prior to Pauline’s efforts to shift the narrative. But this is not the case (nor should it ever have been).

Religion Needs Spirituality

Yet spirituality does not need religion. Let’s break down both terms.

Religion is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses various belief systems, practices, rituals, and traditions. It typically involves a set of moral codes centered around the worship of deities, a divine or supernatural power, or a higher purpose.

Spirituality, on the other hand, is a broad and subjective quest for meaning, involving personal exploration of principles, values, meditation, self leadership, self mastery and connections to the divine or transcendent. Put simply, to be spiritual, is to deliberately live your life In Spirit and Inspired.

Fast forward to current times, and the term ‘Spiritual Entrepreneur’ is now touted as the new paradigm in business and management.

Through her speakership and programs, Pauline dispels the difference between a Spiritual and a Conscious Entrepreneur, showing leaders that now more than ever, to be one is to be the other – one simply cannot exist in isolation without the other.
