Barking and Bellowing Orders Are Not Motivational Tools …. Neither is Using "the Carrot or the Stick"

by candy barone Nov 08, 2023

I’m still amazed after all the psychological research that has been conducted, compiled, and distributed that so many businesses still employ “scare” tactics as a means to elevate, enhance, and drive performance. 

It’s almost comical how barking and bellowing orders is still a thing. Though, the irony is,...

Excuse Me, You Didn't Have My Permission Nor Do I Find You Cute

by candy barone Nov 07, 2023

This past weekend I was down in Galveston, Texas, for a mini vacation with a good friend for a much needed reprieve and some deep restoration. It also was Ernie’s (my new puppy) first time going to the beach. 

We were excited to unplug, hang out by the water, and just recharge our batteries a lot. Both my friend and I really...

by candy barone Nov 06, 2023

Stance (from the Italian word stanza): the way in which someone stands; a person’s posture. The attitude of a person or organization toward something; a standpoint. (Google dictionary)

Taking that a step further, Merriam-Webster defines stance as: a way of standing or being placed; posture; intellectual or emotional attitude.

Why I Love My Haters, And You Should Too

by candy barone Nov 04, 2023

I think often times as entrepreneurs we get too caught up in what's happening on our social media platforms versus staying focused on our actual objectives. Even when we say we don’t, we secretly check to see if our post got a like or share, or if someone commented. 

Enter the haters.

For most of us know, if we’ve spent...

Living in the Extremes Often Doesn't Leave Room for Living Your Life

by candy barone Nov 02, 2023

Now, I am all for mastery and creating greater discipline to rise to the next level. That being said, I also think we shortchange ourselves from truly living life with all the extreme demands we place on ourselves.

For instance, let’s take the diet and fitness industry for a moment. I believe there’s a tremendous opportunity to...

Your Openness is Not a Design Flaw, It's Actually Your Deepest Source of Wisdom

by candy barone Nov 01, 2023

If you’ve ever run your Human Design chart, or had a reading done by someone else, then you might be familiar with the concept of “openness.” 

Now, while you may know what it “openness” means on some level, for most people, when they look at their chart, there tends to be some serious confusion in truly...

Why We Need to Stop Saying 'It's Business, It's Not Personal' and Realize That, in Fact, It IS Personal

by candy barone Oct 31, 2023

Let me start by saying, we desperately need to bring more HEART & SOUL back to business. We are starving for greater connection, greater purpose, and greater meaning in our work. 

The notion of “it’s business, it's not personal” is utter bullshit. 

It creates one of the biggest missed opportunities for most...

5 Four-Letter Words You Need to Strike From Your Leadership Language Immediately

by candy barone Oct 30, 2023

Let me start by saying that I LOVE me a good four-letter word. 

If fact, most of my friends (and clients) would agree that swearing is one of my love languages. My mouth is a cross between that of a truck driver and a sailor, no doubt. And, I probably drop a good f-bomb 5+ times a day. 

That being said, there are five four-letter...

Living Legacy: What Is It and Why You Need to Be Intentional About Leading Yours

by candy barone Oct 29, 2023

I had an entirely different way I thought I would start this post. That is until I heard the news that Matthew Perry passed away. Something about hearing that news has hit me hard. Maybe it’s because as someone who just turned 50 a few months ago, I find it staggering that he left this earth at 54.

Or, maybe it’s because I feel...
