Happiness is a choice. As you choose to be happy you are tapping into an edge that others overlook. In episode 24 of The Executive Edge podcast Myra Goldick shares her expertise and experience on how to choose happiness.
Myra Goldick authored “Focused, Unstuck, and Back in Action” and “Dancing on our Disabilities” and co-authored “Mastering the Art of Success.”
As a child, she struggled to overcome a dysfunctional family life, extreme poverty, substance abuse, and homelessness. Paralyzed by polio and meningitis at the age of ten, Myra found herself unable to move one single muscle. Initially she was totally dependent on her mother for her every basic need. Through rehabilitation, surgeries, passion, and perseverance, she regained some of her mobility. Driven by a desire to succeed she finished school, married, and built a successful career in corporate America. Later in life, she experienced a total role reversal when she became her aging mother’s caregiver, while at the same time struggling to manage post-polio syndrome.
Today Myra is a speaker, author, professional artist, coach, and Internet talk radio host of two shows, and a disability advocate for both the challenged and the caregivers. Myra’s motto is “happiness is a choice regardless of the challenges life creates.”
Takeaways from this episode:
– Finding humor in the moment
– Spontaneity adds a spark of excitement to life
– Success doesn’t necessarily mean only wealth
– Prosperity is a birthright
– Disabilities can be empowering
– Recovery is up to the individual

How do you disconnect? Am I the only one who struggles with this? I tell myself – “stop looking at your phone” or “the day is over, turn it off.” I think at times I’m starting to conquer this obsessive need to stay connected and then I have a relapse.
Part of the purpose of writing this post is to allow me to vent on the subject. Hope you don’t mind and what I share will be a help to you! Here are a few strategies I have been implementing to become proficient at disconnecting:
1. Take a 2-day weekend. I have been so driven to check things off my checklist that I have noticed I am not taking time to relax.
2. Set office hours. That means not checking email, voicemails or text after a certain time of the day.
3. In the morning not looking at my phone until my self-care routine is complete.
4. Being present with whomever I’m having a conversation with.
5. When working on projects, setting my phone to vibrate and turning email reminders off.
Implementing these practices has provided more productive days and happier nights. My family doesn’t complain as much and my energy is stronger. Now the goal will be to plan my vacations as the first priority of my yearly planning segment. I know I can conquer this! By disconnecting we will be able to be more connected when it counts.
Don’t worry if you try calling or emailing and I don’t answer right away, I will be with you shortly. I promise! This is something you can do for clients, family members or staff right now.
Nervous about speaking in front of your board? Want to sound articulate to other executives? This is tip #1 of 3 tips on how to open a speech or presentation. You don’t have to be an executive to use these strategies.
The first tip is to: Open With A Question – this get’s your audience’s attention quickly. As you open with a question pause for just a couple of seconds to let it sink in. Then move forward with your presentation.

What have you sacrificed to meet your goals? Lately I have been learning a lot about what I can live without. What I thought were needs has changed to be wants.
Sacrificing brings blessings. I know it can be hard at times to sacrifice. It seems like those are the times that the outcome is sweeter. For instance, when you want to buy that pair of shoes that cost a lot of money and it’s not in your budget. You have a choice, go into debt, go without something else or wait.
Our society is a “got to have it now” society. I believe we have lost the art of sacrifice. I have found that when I step back and check why I believe I need something I become clearer about my priorities. Here are some questions I use to make a wise decision:
1. Will it help me reach my long-term goal?
2. Will it help others reach their goals?
3. What is the harm in waiting?
4. What is the harm in not waiting?
5. How will practicing control make me stronger?
These may not be comfortable questions. Sacrifice isn’t comfortable – but it is worth it in the long run. As we sacrifice our wants to help another there are positive chemicals that ignite in our brains. Those chemicals make us feel happy. That provides the answer to why it is always better to give than receive. What are you willing to sacrifice to get your goals? What will be the benefit of reaching your goals? As you stay focused on those benefits the path will be easier.
May you reap the blessing that sacrifice provides and may it fill your life with beauty!
In episode 21 of The Executive Edge I will share with you how to coach others. A few weeks ago I was asked the question of what I do. A great question and it made me think about the coaching process.

This episode will provide best practices, the process and framework to help you in all of your coaching roles.
Whether its a co-worker, employee, child, or friend there are steps to keep in mind. As an certified professional executive coach the process has some overlap. The following highlights from this podcast will give you what you need to be successful with all you may have to coach:

Are you one that loves to work or are you one that runs from it? This ethic can be a blessing. Just like everything else, your perspective makes the difference.
I have shared bits about my background with you. I grew up in a family that valued work. My siblings continue to do so today. I am thankful that my parents taught me the power of this ethic. My life has been blessed in more ways than I can count because this principle was taught and lived.
I have found work as a solace when grief or disappointments have come up in my life. Some might even say I’m a workaholic. I’m working on that as well!
What in your life or business needs more of your focused effort? Perhaps a project you have been putting off? A relationship that needs strengthening? When you are passionate about your work then it may not feel like a task rather an opportunity. I can relate to that feeling as I speak.
Speaking in front of audiences is like breathing to me. I love it and I feel renewed from it. There is the work before and the work after the actual speech. Putting my head down and going to work on a speech that will inform and inspire is where the preparation pays off.
It is through our hard work that we realize the fulfillment of our goals. You can do anything you set your mind to. I have seen that in my life.
Teaching your children this value will pay off for them as well. Your attitude is everything. When a task needs completed, the way you attack that task will make all the difference. Embracing it and staying positive will make it go faster and give you deeper fulfillment.
Off to work I go!
