Welcome to authentic living with Roxanne, a place where we have as conversations about
0:08
things that really matter in our lives.
0:12
And now here's your host, Roxanne Durgesh.
0:39
Hi, everyone.
0:40
It's Roxanne again this week.
0:42
So nice that you're tuning in again.
0:44
Today, I have, I I can serve her a dear friend, Lucy called Angela with me and Lucy's, and I've
0:51
actually worked with Lucy going back about 3 years ago when I was, creating, a business plan
0:58
for my business and, she helped me along the way when I was just beginning in my business.
1:04
So Lucy, thanks for joining us today.
1:07
Hi, good morning.
1:07
Welcome.
1:08
Thank you
1:08
so much for having me, Roxanne.
1:10
Thanks for being here.
1:11
So I'm I've got a bit of a buyer that I'll read about Luce but I'm sure as you'll see with
1:15
Lucy's personality, that this is flat compared to what Lucy's about.
1:20
So Lucy a communication specialist.
1:22
She's focused on awareness, strategic clarity, and taking action in your personal and
1:27
professional life.
1:28
For 18 years, she has supported organizations as well as entrepreneurs with marketing and
1:32
communication services.
1:34
Today, she focuses on furthering the work by developing success tools for improving
1:39
leadership and decision making for high performance individuals shine on emerge on her
1:46
work out of necessity for clients to have a quicker better way to achieve ultimate
1:52
fulfillment and success in their business, and in their lives.
1:56
She knew she wanted to dedicate her career to helping people thrive.
2:00
Now she's developed these unique tools and teaching, and she's thrilled to be living this
2:05
vision in creating this vision into reality.
2:08
Lucy is a graduate of business communications of Brock University.
2:12
And she lives here in Niagara as I do, with her husband and her kids.
2:18
So Lucy, is there anything that I've missed that you'd like to share with the listeners?
2:22
No.
2:25
So awesome.
2:25
So like I said, I had worked with you quite a a I think it's almost about 3 years ago now.
2:30
When I was just you know, in the infancy and, you really helped me on my path just kind of
2:37
thinking more of as, as a, you know, therapist into a business person, and I know how helpful
2:44
it was for me.
2:45
So, Lucy, tell tell the listeners a little bit about where you're at and what your passion is.
2:50
I know what your passions are, but, and and your personality.
2:53
So I often say with Lucy, when you see Lucy, you meet Lucy, and she's got the most beautiful
2:58
smile.
2:58
She's so authentic that you, you know, I don't know that it will come across in her voice, but
3:02
I hope that it will today so that you can get a sense of what people connect with with Lucy.
3:07
So where we'd like to start
3:09
most of you.
3:10
Thank you, Roxanne.
3:11
I'm so flattering.
3:11
You know, I really do pride myself on my integrity and my commitment to supporting,
3:18
people along their journey, their path, my life, my professional life's always been in
3:24
communications and marketing.
3:25
So business leaders, directors, VPs.
3:29
I've always worked with those individuals figuring out, you know, what it is to be in
3:35
business, how to get clear, how to connect with an audience, how to, just perform at a better
3:42
level, and communicate well.
3:45
And so in trying to figure out how to communicate well, what do you have just say how
3:51
to have that clarity in your voice, it gets really personal very quickly.
3:57
So shine on is that program that I developed.
4:02
I launched it in January of 2018, so this year.
4:05
And I've been figuring out how to support that clarity so that taking action is natural and
4:13
exciting.
4:13
And so that led into a personal development tool.
4:17
And so it's a full circle type of moment where when you're personally clear in what you're
4:26
doing, how you want to execute, it leads the business decision making.
4:32
And so, the personal clarity map, I have a picture of one of the handoffs that I use.
4:39
The personal clarity map feeds the professional clarity map.
4:43
So they're the same formula.
4:45
There's 7 steps, 14 questions, and I wholeheartedly believe that It can be that
4:51
simple even though it is dynamic and complex.
4:54
So I like to ask a lot of questions.
4:56
I like to leave things open ended to allow for creativity and innovation and even curiosity in
5:03
the business in terms of how to be authentic and real and still profitable and, you know,
5:10
perform well out there in the marketplace.
5:11
So I pride myself in in working with clients to help tool them up properly and what the
5:20
feedback's been so far has been, things like you make me so confident.
5:24
I'm excited to post online, or I had one client say, it's like I got an MBA in a day and stuff
5:32
like that.
5:32
So I like being very succinct.
5:35
My my programs are all, one pagers.
5:38
It's a big piece of paper, but it's still we just We we dial in and we sit and we focus, and
5:45
it's all about that, that process of inquiry.
5:49
Being curious, asking questions, figuring out are we clear, and then take the next step.
5:56
So I mean, that sounds like I've made something really big, really simple, but that was the
6:01
goal.
6:02
So what do you find with people?
6:03
Right?
6:03
Cause I I think oftentimes, I you know, when people start in business, sometimes they have a
6:09
sense of what they wanna do.
6:10
What kind of what are some of the mean when I when I think of the work shine on, it means
6:15
just shining into what you want.
6:17
Mhmm.
6:17
What what some of the biggest blockages are the the main blockages that you see with business
6:22
owners sometimes about getting connected to that real core message that they might have in
6:27
their business.
6:28
Okay.
6:29
So there's a few things that I could say.
6:32
First thing I wanna share is the actual meaning of shine on.
6:37
To give people context.
6:39
It is based off of, the existing process, the scientific inquiry process.
6:46
So scientists use the idea that they experience the universe, the earth, and then they ask a
6:52
question.
6:52
They hypothesized something they formulate an experiment.
6:56
Right?
6:56
There's this experiencing of life and asking the questions So the shine part of my program
7:04
is the asking of the w questions, all the who, what, where, when, why, all that stuff.
7:11
There are specific w questions in the first six steps of the program.
7:15
The 7th step, the last step is the on part, and that's the how.
7:21
So we work on our shine.
7:23
We get clear and then we turn it on and we take action.
7:27
So get clear take action, shine on.
7:30
That's how that's come together.
7:32
Right?
7:33
So to answer your questions about what I see happening with entrepreneurs and what happening
7:39
in the marketplace with what I'm experiencing personally with clients.
7:43
There's a lot of distraction, noise, confusion, insecurity, doubt, There's, like, typical
7:49
things that happen with people.
7:50
And the number one thing that I deal with is this distraction factor into the how.
7:59
So people people are very drawn to the how when they don't have all the w they don't have the
8:07
shine.
8:08
They just wanna turn it on.
8:09
So they wanna skip the they wanna skip the deeper step of really being clear as to the
8:16
outcomes that they seek for their business.
8:18
They sometimes even wanna skip how they would actually transact.
8:22
How why would money change hands?
8:24
What what is the value that you're creating offering that warrants someone sending you
8:30
money?
8:31
In exchange.
8:32
Right?
8:32
So as an example, typical typical example happens all the time.
8:38
A a typical entrepreneur decides to have a business has an idea, and the first thing they
8:43
decide they need is a logo.
8:46
Or a website or, a brochure graphics, some version of execution some version of going to
8:54
the marketplace and presenting themselves and trying to make a transaction happen.
8:58
So that to me is distraction.
9:02
Because it's not very confident.
9:04
It's not very thoughtful and clear.
9:07
And so I have decided I chosen to lead with this process, with this philosophy that I have
9:14
in shine on, and that that is that there is this shine piece.
9:17
We need to get clear about our mission, our vision, our goals, what it is that we're
9:22
transacting against, the the value we're creating.
9:26
Honoring who we serve.
9:28
Who is that customer?
9:29
What is the pain point we're solving for?
9:32
All those w things, the w questions, They need to be clearly mapped and resolved, and it's not
9:38
a process that takes a long time.
9:40
It's just the process that happens be for executing into the how, getting into marketing
9:47
and sales and operations and innovating and and looking at results and numbers and reporting,
9:52
that's the after, that's the effect of all of that first step of getting clear.
9:58
So Does that help eliminate?
10:01
It does because I think you're right.
10:03
Everybody wants to go to metrics.
10:04
Like, I'm gonna do this.
10:05
I'm gonna have a brochure.
10:06
I'm gonna have a logo.
10:07
I'm gonna have a website.
10:09
All those things.
10:10
And then, like, you know, I can think of myself too, Lucy, when the white noise gets in the
10:14
way, if you're not sure why you're doing what you're doing, you get distracted often.
10:19
If you think of, you know, you're in mourning.
10:21
Right?
10:21
Like, how are your morning supposed to start?
10:23
Ideally, we know what you're supposed to do.
10:26
Mhmm.
10:26
But if you know what the core areas are that you need to focus on first to your whole shine
10:32
on process, you make sure those things happen first in your day Right.
10:37
Versus everything else.
10:38
Right?
10:39
Somebody needs this.
10:39
Somebody needs an invoice.
10:41
Somebody needs you to tell you a little bit about this or that.
10:44
And then before you know it, I'm, you know, you're like, you're on everybody's kind of
10:48
clock.
10:49
And then before you know it, it's been 4 hours and it's like, oh my goodness.
10:52
What happened here?
10:54
It's it's it's been a day, and I have been busy busy busy.
10:59
But I've been off track on my why.
11:02
Absolutely.
11:03
And so it's I love that you say that because in both in both the personal clarity map and the
11:09
professional clarity map, which is these tools, these maps are what guide a session with me,
11:16
and that's how clients work with me.
11:17
They book sessions.
11:19
So they are no one that works with me doesn't understand that we're gonna go through the map.
11:24
They know what the message is.
11:25
We're talking about clarity.
11:26
Clarity leads, in the in the discussions and in the planning and the and in the executing, of
11:32
those goals.
11:33
So the first question is why?
11:37
So we always we don't have to spend hours on it.
11:40
This isn't, like, some sort of meditative emotional journey that takes an hour every
11:45
single morning.
11:45
It's not like that.
11:46
It's just that when you spend enough time getting clear on those w questions, you're
11:52
faster, your agility, your responsiveness, your, just profitability goes up because your
12:00
momentum building and you're not hesitating.
12:02
You don't have to, think about what your core values are or what your mission is, or is that
12:07
a client that aligns with what my work is is this a transaction that needs to take place?
12:12
Like, you make that effortless and clean and clear.
12:15
It's it's the water is crystal clear.
12:17
It's not murky at all.
12:18
And when things start to get cloudy and murky because, you know, there are things that change
12:24
your day.
12:24
You can have distractions.
12:25
You can have things that come up.
12:27
I mean, you want that.
12:28
It's an organic experience to be working in a business.
12:32
You know where that falls.
12:35
Like, the training of knowing, oh, wait a second.
12:37
This could fundamentally shift the definition of my business and how I create value, or Wait.
12:43
This is just helping me get better at how I execute in the how department.
12:47
Like, which one are we in and does it warrant my time?
12:52
So on a typical day, my entrepreneurs, my leadership clients, I train them.
12:58
You spend 15 minutes with your clarity map, your personal clarity map.
13:02
That's the beginning of your day.
13:03
You get clear so you can go to work and take action effectively.
13:08
Then when you show up to work, you do spend a few minutes looking at that clarity map for the
13:13
business and set your priorities.
13:16
And this is a fluid thing that goes from one day to the next.
13:19
So your productivity increases because you've trained yourself, hey.
13:22
I know how I start my day.
13:24
I know how I end my day.
13:25
And I know how I get clear in myself.
13:28
So naturally, the outcomes are just, like, the pay people are more confident They're happier,
13:34
they're more relaxed, and they just flow with things are able to handle things that come at
13:39
them.
13:40
They're faster.
13:41
They can build that momentum.
13:42
Get out there in the marketplace.
13:44
The biggest thing that's been exciting for me is the the confidence online.
13:49
Every you know, like, people saying, I've done my clarity map, but now I just wanna post, and
13:53
I I wanna be on Instagram.
13:54
And I I get what the Snapchat thing is about, and I have something to say on LinkedIn, and I
14:00
want to write an article Like, I'm crystal clear about how I create value and how I
14:06
magnetize and attract clients to me.
14:08
It's been brilliant.
14:10
It's but this was this was, you know, 3 years ago, I wasn't very confident and secure in
14:16
leading in that way and say, hey.
14:18
Full up.
14:18
I'm taking over.
14:19
I'm telling you how it's gonna be, and you're gonna control your time.
14:23
You're gonna control your your mind.
14:25
You really gotta take control of your mind here.
14:27
And understand that, that clarity, that focus, that dialing into it first is everything.
14:34
It's the game changer.
14:36
So when I was able to, you know, come up with a way that was simple and something that can grow
14:42
with a company, that aligns with somebody that's a president.
14:47
Somebody I've I've had people that are in the startup mode of researching a business, And
14:52
what happens with them is they're like, oh my gosh.
14:56
I totally get what it is to have a business.
14:58
Yeah.
14:58
You know, like, I get how I create value and why someone gives me money.
15:05
And then I just get better at creating that value, whatever it is, product or service,
15:09
create the value, make the transaction.
15:13
Do you have to exchange and it just goes faster and you get better.
15:18
And and, I mean, it's been really thrilling for me that the simplicity and the elegance of it
15:23
has actually resonated and come through in the work, and I'm able to just do more of it.
15:30
I'm I'm faster too.
15:31
Sounds like it's your process, and now you've packed it in a way because I think of when we
15:36
would spend time together was a lot of what you did with me.
15:39
Yeah.
15:40
Maybe maybe not bundled with the the the, brand but it sounds like it was the round that
15:45
because, you know, I often say, you know, when you're clear and I know what the clear I've
15:49
become Lucy is that I see a no to a lot of things.
15:54
Before I think, oh, sure.
15:56
I can do that.
15:57
Of course, I can do that.
15:58
You know, you wanna speak here.
15:59
You wanna do this and And, you know, the clarity that I've gotten it's become, okay, is
16:04
this where you wanna be?
16:06
Is it is this the market you wanna be in?
16:10
Who are you attracting?
16:11
You know, of course, is this a customer that wants to continue working with you, or what's
16:16
the value of that connection?
16:17
But these are when you kinda go, like, you know, you know, all over the place and you're
16:22
not delineating where you need to be Right.
16:26
It becomes tiring?
16:27
And, you know, very tiring.
16:29
And then you're like, oh, what am I doing?
16:31
But when you slow down, like you said, like, and really think about it, and a coach.
16:35
I mean, everybody, obviously, I often say everybody needs a coach or a mentor to be able
16:40
to do that because As entrepreneurs, we're, you know, you're on your own a lot.
16:44
You know that.
16:45
I'm I'm on my own a lot other than when I'm, coaching and and I'm speaking those types of
16:50
things.
16:51
And some it's good to kind of have those touch points to be able to say, okay, where are you?
16:54
Where did you this quarter this week?
16:56
Where, you know, you were tackling X Y Z, you know, where are you and, and, you know, those
17:01
touch points?
17:02
I know for myself, Lucy, that's been vitally important for me.
17:05
And I, and I can get things done But again, if I'm not clear in what I wanna do, I'm as
17:11
distractable as it anybody else, you know, the phone starts to ring or somebody wants to have
17:15
lunch or you know, things happen in our personal lives.
17:18
Absolutely.
17:19
There's, you know, that's life.
17:20
But then at the end of the day, did I get to those touch points of the things that are
17:25
moving me forward.
17:26
Even if it's one that I need to do a 5 today, did I did I do that today?
17:30
And it's exactly so here's here's the construct the way I see it.
17:34
So and I'm really proud of the fact that this kind of process of inquiry and asking questions
17:40
helps create the clarity The thing that happens is if I was to give a closed system, take
17:47
control of how I train and educate and say do it this way, we would lose all the magic and
17:55
the the just the random serendipity, the special things that happen in life, we would
18:02
lose that because that would sterilize the environment.
18:05
So we don't want that.
18:07
We want that when the bone rings and there's this opportunity, we can entertain the concept,
18:12
or we come across something online or consume some content that's inspiring.
18:16
And we think, well, wait a second.
18:17
How does this This is, you know, potentially shifting my business in some way.
18:22
You want that to be able.
18:24
You want that to happen, that inspiration innovation comes from these ideas that are, you
18:31
know, that can be bonkers off the wall from left field.
18:34
Like, you don't know where they're coming from.
18:35
If we don't have a methodology that allows for disruption, if you will, then we can't grow.
18:47
Right?
18:47
So I wanted to create a system that allows for that.
18:53
But then also gives that grounding.
18:55
So that's why they're always questions because the answers may shift.
18:59
They're dynamic.
19:00
We're dynamic or organic.
19:01
Like, We need to be able to flourish and grow and experience, our environment, the people
19:07
around us, you know, go to events and things like this and see how that helps enhance and
19:14
eliminate what we're doing in our work.
19:17
So continuously asking questions helps for that clarity to evolve as opposed to stagnate
19:23
because the answer to a certain question 3 months ago and the answer today you know,
19:29
that's the make or break it sometimes in some businesses because that's how you defined
19:33
yourself.
19:33
So that's the limitations placed on the business sometimes.
19:37
So for me, as an example, I started in January.
19:40
I was laser focused on business owners.
19:43
I only wanted to work with leaders and I only wanted to do my business clarity process.
19:49
That was it.
19:51
There was no opportunity for anything else.
19:54
I needed to be narrow.
19:56
The feedback that came back to me was I need this for my teams.
20:00
Now that I'm clear, the people reporting to me need to know.
20:03
I need to be able share my vision and do some training around it.
20:07
So my business had this evolution, and there was the stimulation of, like, will am I
20:13
defining myself as now a trainer, an educator in this method, this philosophy that I've come
20:19
up with, that seems to really work for people.
20:22
You know?
20:23
And so my definition of my business brought it.
20:26
And I said, okay.
20:27
I'm no longer specifically aligning myself as a business consultant, and specialized in
20:34
business planning at a high level of vision work with entrepreneurs.
20:37
I'm going to broaden and include the teams and include, the the planning and team building,
20:46
the sharing, some sort of experiential stuff, maybe retreats, maybe workshops.
20:50
That's not clear.
20:51
I'm but there's this there's this, like, I call it a little sandbox that I now have created to
20:56
play in because that's the feedback coming back.
21:00
And so that's what led to the personal clarity map because the teams needed it.
21:06
They needed to be able to come to work, feel confident, feel self assured that They create
21:11
value and contribute to the business success, and they're empowered and happy to come in to
21:17
do that work.
21:18
The owner is, you know, elated that client that their employees are that passionate and dialed
21:25
in and clear, and everybody just works better.
21:29
You know, they're happy when they they feel like, hey, I'm respected for my contribution
21:34
and that flows both ways.
21:36
And then what ended up happening, Roxanne, this just happened in the last 2 months.
21:41
I had, employees and owners say my kid needs this.
21:48
My teenager, the one that doesn't know what he wants to do, but has to go
21:51
age wise, mate.
21:52
What are they gonna do with their life?
21:54
They need to they need to and so the personal development tool that shine on clarity, not the
21:59
self awareness piece, the first piece.
22:03
Became this thing that now I have parents sending me their kids and saying, I want them
22:09
to have this approach.
22:10
Of that curiosity, the asking of the questions, so that they're more grounded and more
22:17
confident in their lives.
22:20
That to me bridges over into, like, mental health issues and and in the kind of work that
22:25
you must see, like, people that are clear and confident in their lives, I I am I'm deducing
22:33
that they're happier people.
22:35
I mean Absolutely.
22:36
Absolutely.
22:36
Because the people that, you know, that I might deal with on on, you know, more mental health
22:41
and mental wellness, the people that are on not connected to who they are are the ones that
22:48
second guess everything because they don't have that firm grounding of you know, beliefs
22:55
values, assumptions about themselves, about the world, about connection, and that in turn, you
23:01
know, they when in second guessing, that kinda beats their self esteem up all the time.
23:06
And and then they're starting to try to be validated outside of themselves.
23:10
Right?
23:10
So you know, yes, we have to connect, but I I definitely need to kinda know who I am in order
23:16
to connect effectively with you as a friend.
23:19
Or my son or a partner or a colleague or another business because if I'm not sure,
23:26
Right?
23:26
What am I what am I kind of putting out there?
23:28
And I think, unfortunately, with teenagers, we're not guiding in that.
23:33
Generally, I should say in school, they're not guiding them like this.
23:37
Right?
23:38
And and then, you know, parents try their best, but sometimes it's like, oh, you're my parents.
23:42
Right?
23:43
Like, what do you know kind of thing?
23:45
Sometimes good to have just a neutral person to help that kid really think through what they
23:51
already know.
23:52
I think oftentimes I call it an internal GPS.
23:56
That's my term for it.
23:57
Because really, the more connected you get to what is important to you, at the end of the
24:02
day, Go insight, check it out.
24:05
Does it fit?
24:06
Is it not good for me?
24:07
Is it good for me short term, long term, all those types of things?
24:10
And then you can kind of make a better decision.
24:12
Like, you mean, as a psychotherapist coach, that's kinda what I do.
24:15
So I could see how this would would be an amazing process.
24:19
And it's and it's one
24:20
of those things where, so building on what you're saying, what has happened with shine on,
24:25
I had a client like, the logo, right, the way that it's designed to shine and the on,
24:30
there's, like, a little switch in the o.
24:33
Oh, is there?
24:33
Okay.
24:34
So but what they said is that when they see this burst of color, they see a shield.
24:39
Oh, I feel armed.
24:42
Like, it's my armor.
24:44
I've I've done the work.
24:45
I've answered the questions.
24:47
Nobody can, like, I I don't know what it would be.
24:52
Like, just affect their confidence, like, bring them down because this has armed them up and
24:58
built them up that they're secure in themselves and that they're everybody knows they're a work
25:03
in process.
25:04
Right?
25:05
Like, we're all just working on getting better.
25:08
Being who we are, who are meant to be the work we're meant to do.
25:12
We're all just a work in process, and it takes the edge off.
25:15
It didn't accept pressure off.
25:17
Right?
25:17
Right.
25:17
It's like, oh, I'm supposed to get this perfect yesterday.
25:20
And you're like, oh, goodness.
25:21
I I think of the evolution that I've gone through in my business.
25:24
Right.
25:24
And I was always I'm like, you know, also ready to, like, execute.
25:30
But I was like, okay.
25:31
Hold on.
25:31
What are you doing if you're shifting?
25:33
Over.
25:34
Like, I mean, what kind of things have to happen?
25:36
And I think as entrepreneurs, a lot of times, we're like, go go go go go.
25:39
I need to get to the endpoints I need to get to transaction to your point, except I'm not
25:44
really I haven't clarified what is my stealing.
25:47
What is, yeah, what is my gift?
25:48
What I'm what do I do?
25:50
You know, with people that makes them want to come back to see me over and over and over
25:55
again.
25:56
Right?
25:56
So I think when you get into that uniqueness and you get out there, Really, who am I who are
26:02
you competing or me competing?
26:03
I'm not competing.
26:04
I'm just being the best version of who I am.
26:06
Right.
26:06
And if someone wants to deal with me, they do.
26:08
And if they don't wanna deal with me, there's a better fit out there somewhere for them.
26:13
And, you know, what's really important to me, this has to I want this to come through if
26:18
nothing more, the most important part of it is that all I've done is put together a tool of
26:24
asking questions.
26:26
I am not an expert at all by any means and make no claim to being able to help people with the
26:34
answers.
26:36
Okay.
26:37
Some of sometimes when you ask somebody who they are, what is their why, what is their
26:42
purpose, and they're like, this can be a very emotionally disrupting kind of question, and
26:46
they need help.
26:47
They need people like yourself, and they need someone professional to speak to.
26:52
And I'm just All I'm doing is I needed to create a tool that that's a map that's just a
26:58
landing page.
26:59
It's somewhere to go to see the landscape, see what this journey looks like, and then people
27:07
need help with it.
27:08
They need help with the answers.
27:10
They need help with something really dark and, disturbing comes up in their past or something
27:16
that's holding them back.
27:17
These are the that's then becomes the work to flush that through out to get to the next step.
27:23
So, creating breakthroughs and creating that next level for that person's understanding of
27:29
who they are and their confidence.
27:30
Like, you can't build that if you don't address the things that hijack you or or suspend your,
27:37
your, your confidence.
27:38
And so that's been the thing that's been the biggest gift in all of this.
27:43
Is that in creating a a tool that's all about the questions, it leaves it free for whomever
27:50
to incorporate into their work.
27:52
So, I've had, in the professional space and the business landscape, when people are running a
27:59
business, they take their map to their accountant.
28:02
Or their lawyer, or they go to their operations manager, where they go, and they say, look,
28:07
this is what we're trying to do.
28:08
This is these are the w questions that we've answered.
28:11
Here are the answers.
28:12
Is the guiding points.
28:13
This is the leadership that we're taking, the directions that we're giving.
28:16
How now do we do this?
28:18
What what resources do we need?
28:21
How do we execute against this?
28:23
And it's one page and it's everyone comes together and can clearly understand how to work
28:27
within that construct.
28:29
And I'm finding that the same is is happening for the personal side.
28:34
So Right.
28:35
Right.
28:36
Doing you know, they're doing wonderful workshops and retreats and and masterminds and
28:40
whatever they're doing out there in their personal development, the books that they're
28:44
reading, the content they're consuming online helps them with figuring out the answers.
28:51
I'm helping too.
28:52
I'm doing my best.
28:53
I'm creating content and telling the stories, and, I've created these hangouts, and and face
29:00
book.
29:01
I do Facebook lives on Wednesday at 1 o'clock.
29:04
I do a shine on hangout for the personal clarity map.
29:08
So people can download the personal clarity map for free.
29:11
It's at shineonclaritymap.com.
29:14
Sign up, download it, work those questions, and join a group of pea, like, come hang out watch
29:21
the videos, see what comes up.
29:24
I am trying to contribute to that conversation and do some storytelling around it.
29:28
But the feedback's been amazing.
29:30
People messaging me.
29:32
I get these private messages all the time.
29:34
Lucy, I did your map and and my anxiety is down when I go to work in the morning.
29:38
I look at the app, and and I'm not as sad, and I don't think and dwell on the negatives.
29:45
And, I had someone message me the other day.
29:47
It got me really emotional.
29:48
And they said, I'm able to understand what people mean about gratitude now.
29:54
I I can find things to be grateful for.
29:58
And, I mean, that's fulfilling my purpose and fulfilling my work.
30:02
So My map gets clearer because I get all these little check marks saying this is working.
30:07
This is helping people feel good.
30:09
You know?
30:09
So so that's how that that's the ecosystem that I'm playing in right now.
30:14
It sounds it sounds very lovely, but I know I've worked with you and I know what you're
30:17
like as a person and how much you give you know, you really do and you you bring you bring
30:23
it all when you work with someone.
30:25
So I I I from working with you, and I've worked with other people since.
30:30
You definitely do.
30:31
So I think that authenticity obviously shine on is the process, but it's you, really.
30:37
That's what you give when you work with people.
30:39
And I think that's an it sounds like an amazing process.
30:43
So Facebook lives 1 o'clock, on Wednesdays.
30:48
So, Lucy, so really it's about you know, clarity.
30:53
Like, with the clarity we get, you know, I'm a mental health expert.
30:57
So the clarity I get with I'm doing with the workplace.
31:00
I'm Claire and who I'm gonna serve.
31:02
So it's clear that your people that are kinda sitting there and they're like, they've got a
31:06
concept in their brain.
31:08
Or maybe there are an entrepreneurial, you know, that have been kind of they're doing a
31:12
bit, but I'm not really sure.
31:15
What what what what kind of advice would you give someone like that at that point.
31:18
That's kinda I've tried coaching.
31:21
It hasn't worked or whatever.
31:22
You know, what what kind of advice would you keep someone like that?
31:25
Well, what happens with my plans, typically, how I end up working with them is that they'll
31:30
download and, they'll connect in some way through social media with me.
31:34
Do and they'll take a look at the clarity map, and they'll see the questions, and they'll see
31:38
how that fits for them, how it feels.
31:41
And when they see that it's a it's a complete experience to go from 1 to 14, those questions
31:46
that are laid out for them.
31:48
What happens is if they want the help in the professional world, if they're a business
31:52
owner, if they're an entrepreneur, if they're a leader, like, a a manager director in a
31:56
company, what they do is reach out and they do a session with me.
32:01
And we'll do a professional session.
32:03
It's 90 minutes for the first one.
32:05
We go through the map together, and we see what we can uncover and how we can illuminate
32:10
process.
32:10
So, one on ones with me are very powerful because it's it's that dedicated time to think
32:17
about where they're at.
32:18
So, that's the first step.
32:20
And then when when they have that experience, they can make that determination if this is the
32:27
kind of work that's gonna help them accelerate, get clear, do more of that taking action type
32:34
of thing.
32:35
Where it's gonna be effective and profitable for their business.
32:38
So, or their careers even professionally.
32:41
So That has been the cascade.
32:43
It's been like, you can get to know the process and get a feel for it in the personal clarity
32:47
methods out there free for download.
32:51
Get in touch with me and inquire if you want to book a session.
32:54
And and then we go from there.
32:56
You instantly know after that 1st 90 minute session how much this type of process helps
33:01
you.
33:01
Now are you doing any workshops
33:03
or anything locally suit?
33:05
I am planning on doing, workshops the scope of them, this is where I'm trying to get clear as
33:13
well.
33:13
There's not a lot of clarity around how I would do that and what the audience would be.
33:17
I do them coming into businesses.
33:20
Okay.
33:20
I I
33:20
do those.
33:21
Those are easy because the leadership decides and that gets booked.
33:24
And we have a morning or we have a full day, that type of thing.
33:28
But out in the community at large right now, I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to be
33:32
doing, like, a month the event, that kind of thing.
33:34
I'm still figuring that out.
33:36
So I like to get feedback and inquiries, through social media are in my inbox, and I
33:41
kinda go from there.
33:43
Right now, it's it's not a clear point in my map.
33:46
I'm gonna admit it.
33:48
You mean, you gotta shine on on the workshop end?
33:52
Well, you know what?
33:53
We've got the clarity map.
33:55
We've got the sessions.
33:57
Yeah.
33:57
Yeah.
33:57
Got packages for sessions 1 on 1, but in the group setting, that's not within an
34:03
organization itself, that one's not clear.
34:06
But I am working.
34:07
I mean, I I I'm ready to go.
34:10
This is the work I'm committed to doing.
34:12
So Awesome.
34:13
Awesome.
34:13
Well, you've been obviously busy because I haven't seen you, I think, in about oh, 8 or 9
34:18
months, at least, I think, since we've seen each other last.
34:21
Yeah.
34:21
Yeah.
34:22
Before the new year,
34:22
I haven't seen you since I launched.
34:25
No.
34:25
Only virtually.
34:27
Yeah.
34:27
Only virtually.
34:28
Only virtually.
34:29
Person.
34:29
We need I know we're we're 15 we're 15 minutes apart.
34:33
This is silly.
34:34
So you know what, Lucy?
34:36
This has been, again, as an entrepreneur myself, you know, it really makes sense what
34:41
you're saying because I know how much I flooded around and and still ready to some degree do.
34:46
But now I'm clear on what I wanna do.
34:48
I wanna speak.
34:49
I wanna train.
34:50
I wanna, you know, and coach.
34:52
And that's something that I've been, you know, obviously doing a lot more.
34:57
And I could have saved myself a lot of time had I kind of stuck with a process, but I think
35:03
when you begin a business, you, you know, you kind of touch things and you and then you're
35:08
like, oh, I like this.
35:09
I like that.
35:10
I like this.
35:10
But when you can become clear, then you realize I got 7 hours in my day.
35:15
You know, where where is my investment?
35:17
At the end of the, you know, where where do I need to take my time.
35:21
So I think if this process that you're talking about helps people either, like you said,
35:25
personally or professionally, that's that's definitely a gift.
35:28
I definitely have I do have a goal of wanting to shine on to be a process that people go to
35:34
first when they're starting out because That will still allow for that in, like, that
35:40
organic experiential side to come in because you are feeling out the environment.
35:45
You are determining you're gonna go into the marketplace to create a business and transact.
35:49
And so that has to stay organic and that creativity and innovation, all that kind of all
35:56
those things, they're not they're not something you can control.
35:59
So people need to be kind and gentle with themselves when they're starting a business
36:03
that is entering this arena.
36:06
Of discomfort and, unpredictability and that that's okay and that that's part of it, but you
36:13
can get grounded and get rooted in a process that's going to help grow and guide, the
36:19
decision making and and how you actually implement things.
36:23
What sounds lovely.
36:25
So, I so if anybody's, looking to connect, they can, reach you on your websites.
36:32
Or on social media?
36:33
All over social media, I'm, my handle is Lucy C.
36:37
Dot, l u c y c d o t, and shine on clarity map.com is where you can start with a personal
36:44
clarity map.
36:45
And then just message me.
36:47
DM me, personal message, and we can get the conversation started.
36:51
And soon, there will be, an automated system for booking into my calendar for session.
36:57
So that's awesome.
36:58
Awesome.
36:58
Awesome.
36:59
Okay.
36:59
Well, thanks again.
37:00
So, you know, if I can kind of try this and upsize all the things they've learned, is is
37:06
when you're connected with the w's, all the w's, like you said, who, what, when, and why,
37:11
in reference to whatever that goal is, whether it's a career or relationship or, friendships
37:18
or whatever it is, the clarity become that you know if you're off course or whether you're on
37:22
on direct root at times organically, you're gonna get steps.
37:26
Side stepped.
37:28
That's normal.
37:28
That's life.
37:29
But when once you become clearer, then that I think your footing becomes more secure so that
37:35
if you get toppled a little bit, you don't completely get toppled, but you kind of can
37:39
redirect yourself to where you need to be.
37:41
