⚡️ Made the unhinged decision to quit Instagram when it felt icky for her

⚡️ Ignores what everyone else is doing to make her business feel FUN again

Marketing yourself as a coach is not easy. Coaching is one of those services that’s hard to boil down into quippy marketing speak.

To talk more about this, I turned to Kari Ginsburg of Uproar Coaching. Kari nerds out about supporting people and organizations through periods of change and transformation. It’s something she’s been doing for years before starting her own practice with high profile, high demand work inside the government and with big names in the consulting world.

You’ll love this episode if:
1 You’re a coach who is finding your niche
2 You’re a service provider who has a really clear vision you want to market better
3 You’re considering leaving your job to work in your business full timeoes here

Have you ever worn a mask to fit in? Felt like a round peg in a square hole? This episode is your sanctuary, as we journey alongside Kari Ginsburg from Uproar Coaching LLC, the Head Badass in Charge, who bares it all about the importance of being comfortable in your own skin and leading authentically.

We explore Kari's incredible journey from her leadership role in the federal government to her transformation into a highly sought-after coach. We unravel the common mental blocks that people often seek Kari's guidance for, such as Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, and Burnout. Discover how to overcome these obstacles and reclaim your confidence as we dive deep into the strategies and techniques that Kari has developed over her years of experience.

But that's not all! We also unpack the true essence of being a leader and explore what it means to step into that role authentically. Kari shares valuable tips and insights to help you become a better leader, enhancing your impact and influence within your organization and beyond.

There’s a moment that happens in the first 15 minutes of a musical (oh, and this applies to Disney movies, too) where the main character sings a big, soaring song expressing a need, a desire or a want for themselves. This is the character’s goal, and it’s what the entire musical (or movie musical) is going to be about. It’s because of this that Kari refers to goals as “I want” statements. On this episode of the BCC Podcast, let's talk about the power of shifting our preconditioned ideas around goals and goal-setting to things that we want uniquely, dynamically for ourselves.

Kari Ginsburg used her response to formative experiences in her 20s and 30s to move closer to her true self. Those formative experiences include an emotionally unstable marriage and surviving a brain tumor, not, “I had to work hard for a bad boss,” but she did that, too. With every step she took closer to her true self, life got easier. Today, she runs her own executive coaching practice where she ministers to her audience of “glitter bombs.” She also has some pretty specific goals she wants to accomplish in her forties that include paying down debt, growing her business and not being an a-hole. ⁠

We discuss how Kari Ginsburg set her business up and learned that so much of entrepreneurship is becoming more and more yourself. We talk on the power of owning your weirdness and how taking care of yourself consistently are two of the most important things you will ever do, not just in terms of happiness but in terms of being successful at work and in business. When you start to be who you are, magic happens.

The need for networking is to create business connections, collaborations, business besties, and so on. As an introvert, this can be a super impactful way to create lasting relationships with other entrepreneurs and business owners. One thing introverts aren’t crazy about when it comes to networking is coming off salesy or spammy. However, showing up as your most authentic self helps you shine, even more so for introverts when you build those connections.

Are you an Industry Disruptor or Luminary Leader?

In this segment, Kari Ginsburg shares how you can go from identity crisis to identity disruptor by being a luminary leader. She shares what a luminary leadership looks like when you’re a leader that’s anything but traditional. While navigating being in the phase of the Great Resignation.

Kari walks us through her experiences to explain how lessons from the stage can apply to everybody's day-to-day.

Description goes hereBeing your truest, most colorful self is where we started this conversation as Kari's most important value. The "truest" part is something we've heard come up often on the show, but colorful was new. So we dove right into that to better understand what Kari meant by colorful, why she thought it was so important, and why so many of us are content to live in the "beige" rather than the color. I love discussions like this one, because on the surface I (and I imagine many others) would agree with this value. We should be colorful, have fun, be expressive, and all of the things that make us who we are. Yet somehow for so many of us it seems unrealistic, scary, or unnatural.
