There are also rules to being a great leader. In an article published in “Entrepreneur Magazine”, there is a list of seven golden rules of leadership.

Lead with Empowerment
July 07, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.24 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. There is a lot of talk about the term ‘empowerment’. I cannot even count how many times I have used that term when working with clients! Empowering others will have such a huge impact on their ability to grow. I love it when my clients feel empowered to make decisions that will change the course of their lives and grow! Inc. magazine had a great article on tips for empowering employees, but I thi...
Lead with Decisiveness
July 06, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.21 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When I was raising my family and operating a radio station, I quickly had to learn to lead with decisiveness. I had to make decisions that weren’t always popular, and I realized that if I vacillated or changed my mind too often, I would appear weak. That is no way to run a household or a business. You’ve got to make brave and confident decisions and then stick with them. You must be fair, clear and co...
Lead with Open Mindedness
July 05, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.08 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Would you consider yourself to be an open-minded leader? I have worked with so many people who are closed minded in many of their beliefs, which are most often a product of what they experienced in the past. When we talk about leading with an open-mind, it isn’t meant to encourage you to throw your beliefs out the window or cast them aside. Leading with an open mind will help you look at all sides of ...
Lead with Passion
July 04, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.22 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Do you think of yourself as a passionate person? When it comes to leadership qualities, do you find passion in leadership to be high on your list of qualities? To be passionate about anything, on must sense a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm for it. But in order to show passion, does on need to yell and scream, much like you see some coaches do with their sports teams. To lead with passion does...

July 03, 2023 19:00 - 55 seconds - 851 KBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When I was studying organizational leadership I learned many different ‘theories’ on leadership. I was intrigued by how many theories there can be! There is the “Great Man Theory”, “Trait Theory”, “Behavioral Theory”, “Contingency Theory”, “Transactional”, “Transformational”, then there is “Top Down”, or “Bottom Up”, or “Walking Around”. But one of the most important theories of all for great leade...

When you think of a great leader, do you view them as someone who is authentic? When you lead, are you leading with authenticity? What is authentic leadership? According to a 2013 article in Forbes magazine, authentic leaders are genuine and self-aware. They are aware of their strengths and limitations. They are also mission driven and focused on results, not their ego, money or power. An authen...

Happiness and Contentment
June 27, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.44 MB"I just want to be happy!" Does this sound like you? Happiness and finding contentment in life; job; and our relationships seems to be our primary goal. But happiness and contentment are fleeting, they change with our seasons. What made you happy in one season of life (ex: An ice cream cone for a 6 year old) isn't going to have that same level of happiness in a different season of life (the fancy home or car at 40). This year an addition to the family might bring you happiness, while a few y...
From the Womb Your Purpose is Growth
June 26, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.14 MBFrom the womb, our purpose is growth. We’re always running around asking, “What is the purpose of life?” “What is the purpose of this, or that?” When an egg is fertilized and starts to grow in its mother’s womb, any species or animal, it has one purpose, and one purpose only. To grow. Just imagine if an embryo started to question its existence from the womb, “what is my purpose”? It doesn’t. It just does naturally what it is designed to do. Grow. Just like a seed that is planted in the grou...
Is Your Soil Malnourished?
June 25, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.31 MBHow do plants survive in contaminated soil? They don't. They get sick and die if the soil is contaminated or malnourished... What about you? Is your soil malnourished, or contaminated? Let’s just say that your soul is equivalent to soil; are you psychologically contaminated? Are you hurting, depressed, angry, filled with anxiety? Are you psychically broken? Is your life a mess? If you are nodding your head yes, then I’d encourage you to seek help immediately. Why waste another moment in ...
What Qualifies You
June 24, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.36 MBI was asked one day, “What qualifies you to be a personal and professional growth coach?” I was actually grateful for the question, because even though it might have been perceived as a challenge, it really wasn’t. She actually might have been thinking about how she might want to hire me, or invite me to speak at her organization or one of her upcoming events. She was vetting me. Inquiring about my credentials. She really wanted to know what qualifies me over somebody else. I had to answer ...
Stress and Work
June 23, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.32 MBI have friends and colleagues who are at the top of their game in major market business, who occasionally come to me for coaching, knowing that I’m also a therapist. They’ll share with me their concerns in their work environment – and it’s interesting to note that it’s not always about something functional in the business. Consultants always talk about how to make your business grow, how to make it thrive, how to successfully make a ton of money. Great! I too can give you checklists, to do ...
Somebody Else Already Did That
June 22, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.41 MBI’m a visionary and an entrepreneur. I don’t let it stop me if somebody else has “already done that”. For example: I’m creating a series on the Seasons of Life. I teach about personal and professional growth, through cultivating; planting seeds; branching out and all of these metaphors that I just love! The thing is that, of course other people have talked about this concept of growth. Perhaps maybe my take on it will be similar to somebody else’s – but the fact of the matter is, the brand...
Change vs Growth
June 21, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.58 MBI used to use the term “Change Agent” when I described myself and what I do. I thought about using the term “Growth Agent”, but there is too much controversy around the term growth agent when talking about chemicals, biological research, and nutrition, so I won’t use that, but I am an Agent of Growth. So let me ask you this question, do you really feel as though you need to change? Or is it that you really need to grow? There is a big difference between change and growth. A plant might cha...
A Solid Foundation
June 20, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.18 MBIn order to grow, everything needs a solid foundation. Everything in life needs a solid foundation; when you’re putting together a building or a home, you need a solid foundation which is a concrete slab, the solid foundation for the structure. When you’re putting on your clothes for your day, you need a solid foundation which might be your shoes, or the dress or suit that you are going to wear with which you accessorize by adding jewelry. When you go for a college education, you will have ...

You may have leadership roles in relation to your profession, family, community, or other areas in your life. Are people born or destined to become great leaders?

Searching for a Miracle
June 18, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.19 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. When I became ill with heart problems, I didn’t even know where to begin. But, one thing I knew for sure, despite the depression that came along with the disease, I wasn’t going to give up or become a victim. I researched my heart condition and learned as much as I could about it. I took to my Bible and other educational resources on ‘spirit’ as I could to gain insight. I asked questions, sought an...
Learning is Fun
June 17, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.32 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. What is your learning style? There are many assessments that can help determine what our best learning style is. We learn best when we stimulate several senses at once. According to many theorists, there are four learning styles: Visual learning, Auditory learning, Read/write learning, and Kinesthetic learning. These are learning styles that use our senses: seeing, hearing, and touching. It is a go...

Knowledge is Power
June 15, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.12 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Knowledge is power. When I set out to earn my college education, I had already experienced a great deal of loss and failures in my life. I started college in my mid-30s as a single mother. I went to grad school in my 40s after my heart issues. Although there were sacrifices that needed to be made for me to go to college later in life, it was one thing I knew for certain – my education was one thing...
Eye of the Mind
June 14, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.18 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How do you experience growth through learning? We often hear about ‘visualizing our success’ or are asked the question, ‘how to you see yourself five years from now? If you have ever heard the term, “in my mind’s eye…”, that is the concept of a human being about to visualize and experience mental imagery, by seeing it without our “mind’s eye”. That is one of the greatest tools for learning. The ...
What is Planted
June 13, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 953 KBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. I often speak about ‘planting seeds for personal growth’, and it usually stirs up a dialogue about the kind of seeds we plant in our minds that either develop more growth or sabotage us with negativity. The benefit of continuous growth is that it builds the chances of new opportunities to come your way! Imagine what life was like when they thought the world was flat, or new nothing about space a...
Anti Aging Technique
June 12, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.15 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Want to know the best anti-aging technique? No, it isn’t a new facial cream or skin care product, nor is it a new diet program or exercise routine. The key to staying young in mind and body is learning! That’s right! Learning! Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” I have found this to be true in just about ...
Teach Someone
June 11, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.08 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. I love to learn. I discovered through a book written by Marcus Buckingham, “Now, Discover Your Strengths”, that my top strength is “Learner”. I’m a “Learner”. When I teach or coach, I share information that I have learned previously. So, before I teach or coach, I set my intentions to learn what it is that I will be teaching. I’m not an expert in every area, but when I am asked to speak to a group or ...
What We Learn
June 10, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.1 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. What we learn becomes part of who we are. Who do you want to be? I often encourage my clients to look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves ‘who do I want to be?’ “What kind of person am I becoming?” And you know, it doesn’t matter how old you are either! Those who seek personal growth are always learning new things about themselves and the world around them, no matter what their chronolog...
Pardon my Ignorance
June 09, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.02 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. Ignorance is bliss. I’ve heard this many times over my lifetime. Some use it as a means to cope. The “What they don’t know, won’t hurt them”, mentality. That is very true – ignorance can very often be blissful. But, then you are giving away something very important: your power. The very definition of ignorance isn’t ‘stupid’ or ‘naïve’ – it is “lack of knowledge or information”. I have often use...
Pay Attention
June 08, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.18 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. We learn something every day if we pay attention. It is called mindfulness. There is a lot of talk about the term ‘mindfulness’, and it’s one that I personally love. When you are mindful of your thoughts, you understand how you feel about your surroundings, which always impacts how you behave. This is the basis for a psychotherapy methodology called “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” and one that I fin...
Throw Yourself
June 07, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.22 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How do you plan to grow? Unhelpful thinking is the only thing that truly holds us back! When we throw ourselves into projects we are passionate about, we don’t stop to think about how it might fail. Or maybe we do. That is what holds you back. I often hear people tell me that they can’t do this or that because ‘what if I make a mistake”? My question to you is, “What if you don’t?” If you do nothing...
Education Is
June 06, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.12 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. I love it when I see growth in my clients, family and friends. When you commit yourself to learn something new, it ignites a fire that helps you continue your personal and professional growth journey. We must be intentional about how and what we learn. You don’t want to ‘learn the hard’ way, which is what we do when we don’t allow ourselves to get all the facts in order to make an informed decision on...
Learn from Everything
June 05, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.06 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How important is your personal growth to you? I make it a point to pursue personal and professional growth by committing myself to learn something new every day. Whether it’s a new quote, or a word, or a verse, I’m intentionally looking for something new to put into action. Actually, I am always filling my mind with new knowledge as I learn from my clients every day! It’s just a part of my work tha...
Read A Book
June 04, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.15 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. In order to grow, we need to feed our minds with new information. It’s time to commit to learning something new every day. I used to read to my children all the time. We had the entire Dr. Seuss collection and they would pick one out and eagerly listen as I opened the book. Children are hungry for knowledge. As we get older, we often forget that hunger in exchange for the minutia of our daily lives....
We Learn from Failure
June 03, 2023 19:00 - 1 minute - 1.07 MBThis is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. How many times have you failed? I have failed so many times that I have lost count! Failure is good. It just means you have learned how something didn’t work. Whether it is a business, a relationship, an invention, or waterskiing – it takes effort to learn how to get it right! But the important part of failure is what we learn from it. Most everyone wants to be successful. We want our business to s...
