Nicole Walker\\u2019s Interview Commentary

I really enjoyed this interview with Dr. Sharon and I hope you did as well!

I agree with Dr. Sharon\\u2019s viewpoint on the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people, to protect our energy and aid in our continual growth. I absolutely loved Dr. Sharon\\u2019s analogy of necessity of a co-pilot on a plane in relation to having co-pilots for our life. When great minds come together the unimaginable becomes possible. When you surround yourself with greatness you become the reflection of such, and vice versa.\\xa0 A quote by Rachel Wolchin reads, \\u201cSurround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel, energies are contagious\\u201d.

I admire Dr. Sharon\\u2019s determination to reach her goal of obtaining her doctoral degree, considering it was a dream deferred. As Dr. Sharon stated \\u201cDelayed is not Denied\\u201d! Just because something doesn\\u2019t work out the way we plan or when we plan doesn\\u2019t mean that it won\\u2019t work out in due time. Our desired time is not always in alignment with our destined time. It\\u2019s imperative that we keep pushing and don\\u2019t give up on our dreams because they will come true if we continue forth. Using Dr. Sharon\\u2019s advice to act, access, and adjust will help to stay focused and keep moving. \\xa0

I can relate to Dr. Sharon as we both as podcast hosts. I actually had the privilege of being on Dr. Sharon\\u2019s show The Grind Entrepreneur Network, which is where we first met each other. I enjoyed my experience being interviewed by Dr. Sharon and appreciated that we share the goal of empowering others via our podcast platforms. I am super grateful that Dr. Sharon took the time to empower and push me when we chatted after my interview on her show by asking why I didn\\u2019t have a book yet. Leaders help other leaders stand out and show up at their best, I felt this from Dr. Sharon when she advise me that I should write a book. She did not have to do, and the fact that she did shows her desire to see others win.\\xa0

Nicole Walker\\u2019s Takeaway of the Week

Dr. Sharon mentioned the importance of realizing that our growth and attainment of better is up to us. We hold the sole responsibility to go after what we want. As Dr. Sharon mentioned, when it\\u2019s up to you and for you, you have to act like it, which requires understanding the game and how it\\u2019s played.

I will make it my business to not sell myself short and seize the opportunities I am blessed to have. I know that if it\\u2019s meant to be then it\\u2019s up to me, so I will act as such.

A quote by Eric Roth reads, \\u201cOur life is defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss\\u201d.

Nicole Walker\\u2019s Leadership Challenge

My leadership challenge for you would be to think about the one thing you can take away from this episode and adopt into your life.\\xa0 I know it\\u2019s hard to absorb too much information at one time and it\\u2019s even harder to try and implement too many changes at once.\\xa0 When I attend a training or listen to podcasts I aim to walk away with a least one thing that stuck out to me and one way that I can change as a result.\\xa0 I challenge you to do the same!\\xa0 If you decide to take me up on my challenge I would love to know about your key take way.\\xa0 If you care to share please go to the She Leads Podcast Discussion Group on FB and leave your comment under the Takeaway Thursday post for Season 4 Episode 5.
