25:36

I recently had the honor of sharing the stage with Chéla Gage, a Global HR Executive, speaking to HR leaders in Los Angeles about how to lead through chaos and make impactful decisions. Spoiler alert: Brave leaders ask for advice, feedback, and insights—regardless of job titles (and egos). In this podcast episode we discuss: How to inspire your team to problem solve (vs. going to you like Google) How to set boundaries and say no (cause it protects your team’s well-being -- and your own, too How to have those awkward, BUT necessary convos with colleagues even when you know they will take it personally. If you’re a leader navigating the chaos and want to make better decisions (and keep your sanity), this episode is for you.

Between news, notifications and nonstop content… Thinking about a personal brand isn’t top of mind. BUT how do we get our personal brand to stand out, while being empathetic with the chaos? This is exactly what we tackled at my Soho Works Personal Branding Panel last week. Fun fact: I got invited to this panel 6 days before the event, and invited my friend, Bernadette, to join the panel the day after and we still packed the room with 35 powerhouse leaders who showed up ready to learn and support one another in community. I shared the stage with: Tedd Bernard -- Business Strategist Bernadette Marciniak - Brand Photographer & Videographer Brando Murphy - Crypto Coach The energy was so good that people stayed for 3 extra hours just vibing and networking. As much as I love networking (especially as an extrovert), by the time I got home, I was READY TO HIBERNATE -- but my heart? SO FULL . What We Cover in This Episode: How to showcase your personal brand (without the cringe) How to attract your people -- clients, opportunities and community (without looking desperate) And live coaching with one another as business leaders and executives knowing that being successful isn’t about being alone Panelists Info: Tedd Bernard : Business Strategist Elaine Lou Cartas: Business & Executive Career Coach Bernadette Marciniak: Brand Photographer & Videographer Brando Murphy : Crypto Coach Where We Can Connect: Schedule a Business & Career Review call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/call Check out our 314 client reviews Follow the Podcast on Apple Follow the Podcast on Spotify Follow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_ Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: E laine Lou Cartas Check out our other podcasts for Women of Color…

105: How To Protect Your Peace & Prioritize Your Needs from the LA fires (or any moment of crisis) 26:42

8 weeks тому26:42

26:42

If you’re from California, last week was an endless cycle of FIGHT OR FLIGHT. And even if you’re not in LA, moments of crises affect us all -- it’s part of being human, we don't live in LA, we are human and unfortunately face moments of crises. This past Monday, I had a therapy session to process everything. It was ironincally perfect timing. We talked about how important it is to protect our peace and prioritize our nneeds. She shared that many clients are navigating the same themes as well as her, and it was validating to know I wasn’t alone. After the session, I felt the pull to share so I hit record. Whether you’re navigating a crisis or just feeling overwhelmed, I hope this episodes brings you some comfort and practical support. Episode 105: How to Protect Your Peace & Prioritize Your Needs is now live on Spotify or Apple . In this 26-minute episode, I share: Honoring your voice during tough times: Especially if you’re someone like me (the oldest daughter!) who often manages others’ emotions and needs. Scripts for asking for what you need: Even when it might feel uncomfortable or different from what others expect. Creating healthy boundaries with news and social media: Why limiting our consumption can help reduce triggers. (Right now, I’m only using the Watch Duty App to stay updated on fires, and really limiting social media.) I’ll be honest: This episode feels more personal than others. Recording it helped me process my own feelings while sharing what’s been helpful for me. And I want to remind you that I am not a licensed therapist, and I know that my own experience can be unique to me and not you. What We Cover in This Episode: Personal History and Connection to LA Managing Stress and Crisis Response Limiting Media Consumption and Protecting Peace If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call Resources Mentioned: Free Probono Services for Those Affected by LA Fires Psychologytoday.com Where We Can Connect: Apply to the Business & Career Mastermind: elainelou.com/mastermind Schedule a Business & Career Audit call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/call Follow the Podcast on Apple: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow the Podcast on Spotify: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_ Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: Elaine Lou Cartas Check out our other podcasts for Women of Color…

2025 is in 2 days. I know -- WTH!? I know that “New Year, New You” energy is coming in strong. The social media algorithm just wants us to dive straight into goal setting, and getting cute planners. BUT. HOLD UP, AND WAIT A MINUTE. Before we spring into 2025, let’s sit with 2024 and CHILL for a second. Because let’s be real, 2024 came with lessons and a whole lotta plot twists. And I got receipts from my own messy, beautiful 2024 to share. So before you unpack your lessons, why not sip on some tea and listen to mine first #sharingiscaring In this episode, I spill: I know it’s easy for us to start wanting to set goals for 2025, but before we go there it’s important to reflect on lessons learned. And let me tell you -- I got my fair share of mistakes and lessons learned from 2024. As you plan for the new year, I want to make sure you take time to feel uncomfortable to reflect on your own mistakes and lessons learned. And what better way then to listen to my mistakes first before you listen to yours… #yourewelcome So, take a moment to reflect. Because if you don’t the universe/God/Beyonce (pick your higher power 🐝) will keep sending that same lesson your way. What We Cover in This Episode: How I mastered talking to people who yell (are unregulated) and kept my peace intact ✌🏼 How I’m working with less clients in 2025, but earning more in 2025 (spoiler: fewer clients, less burnout and even better client results) How Muay Thai has helped me to slow down and why it’s important for you to also play If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call Resources Mentioned: https://elainelou.com/blog/102-didnt-hit-your-goals-this-year-6-things-you-can-do/ Where We Can Connect: Apply to the Business & Career Mastermind: elainelou.com/mastermind Schedule a Business & Career Audit call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/call Follow the Podcast on Apple: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow the Podcast on Spotify: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_ Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: Elaine Lou Cartas Check out our other podcasts for Women of Color…

“I’m NOT an influencer. I don’t have a million followers.” That’s exactly how I started my talk at the Rize Credit Union Event on, “How to Get Consistent Customers.” “I don’t have a million followers. Actually, majority of you didn’t know who I was before this event. And you know what? That’s GREAT NEWS for you, because building a sustainable business doesn’t require a massive following -- and I’ll coach you through you.” Good news for you, the replay of this talk is on Apple and Spotify. Despite not having a million followers, here’s what I’ve accomplished: Raised millions of dollars for political campaigns and nonprofit organizations from my first business (I was a former fundraiser) Built a successful and sustainable coaching business where I’ve now served 10k+ clients in 58 different countries On track to hit hit multi-six figures from corporate contracts in 2025 What You’ll Learn in Episode 103: How I landed my first customers in every organization I’ve worked for (spoiler: no website or social media required!). The secrets to showing up authentically on social media without feeling fake or forced. Why letting go of attachment to outcomes will transform your business. Real, actionable steps to start or scale your business sustainably. This episode isn’t just theory—it’s packed with practical advice and real talk. My Rize Credit Union talk turned into a group coaching session, giving entrepreneurs actionable strategies in real time and you can listen to this on Apple or Spotify . So, if you’re curious about my coaching style or simply want to stop following "guru" advice and start building a business that works for YOU, this episode is a must-listen.

To be transparent, I didn’t hit my November revenue numbers I wanted last month but I am also not surprised considering it was an Election month and no one was thinking about it, plus I was on vacation for 2 weeks to Australia and New Zealand.

We’re celebrating 100 episodes for the WOC & Allies: Business & Career Realtalk Podcast.

I was wearing a Dodgers snuggie (a snuggie is a blanket with arm holes), a bun and PJs. This podcast has absolutely evolved from 2 years ago when I first launched it in March 2022. I thought i had to follow what everyone was doing: Having to put makeup on each time I hit record Script it word-to-word cause I’m a recovering perfectionist Have guests cause no one would be interested in listening to what I have to say 2 years and 100 episodes later: Been awarded 2 times as a Top Career Podcast by Mac’s List Will have my most downloaded episodes this month from solo episodes with no video and no guests Intentionally said no to being part of a big podcast network My recent podcast episode, My Mistakes & Triumphs from 100 Episodes, is a quick 22-minute podcast episode where I shared my evolution of how I learned to embrace being myself and how I’ve stayed focused to my 2 goals of this podcast: Provide free, accessible education to others Give a chance for those interested in working with me and my team to get to know me better not just as a coach, but as a human What We Cover in This Episode: Why my podcast name has made it easy for everyone to find my podcast (Hint: SEO) How I embraced doing what was enough for me which meant from switching from weekly to bi-weekly podcast episodes All my mistakes including thinking I needed guests when I just needed to be myself (The result: I will have my highest podcast downloads this month from solo episodes) If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call Resources Mentioned: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaineloucartas/ https://www.instagram.com/elainelou_/ Where We Can Connect: Apply to the Business & Career Mastermind: elainelou.com/mastermind Schedule a Business & Career Audit call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/call Follow the Podcast on Apple: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow the Podcast on Spotify: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_ Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: Elaine Lou Cartas Check out our other podcasts for Women of Color…

22 weeks тому1:00:13

1:00:13

This was my biggest talk to date to 200+ leaders and executives in-person. It’s interesting because attendees expected an exact formula for executive presence—like you need a certain percentage of extroversion or charisma (by the way you do NOT need both). Executive presence can be learned. In this replay I share tools and frameworks on how to create your own executive presence. In this talk I remind you to see your colleagues with curiosity vs. judgment, and to treat each interaction as a data point to understand someone else’s goals and perspectives. I shared personal stories, and I threw in some jokes because, honestly, I secretly dream of being a comedian ;) My favorite part of the talk? The beautiful coaching and support at the end. What We Cover in This Episode: My Conscious Conversations ™ heart-led model on how to create your own, authentic executive presence which includes Passion, Pause, Perspectives, Prepare, Practice and Perform. This is the exact model that got me this talk; my courses with LinkedIn, Penn, and Brown; and closing 2 more speaking engagements this past week. A team template you can use to better understand how to showcase executive presence with team members and executives. This dashboard has helped my clients get VP roles. Word-to-word power phrases you can integrate at your next meeting including how to deal with the most difficult team members. This is a favorite for my clients.

I had the honor of speaking to over 200 leaders & executives on the topic of Executive Presence, and I had the pressure to also navigate tech sound issues... The room was packed – standing room only, with people sitting on the floor and lining the walls. At one point, the event staff had to close the doors and turn people away due to fire safety concerns. I shared more on how I prepared for this talk in my recent podcast episode. You can listen to this x-minute podcast episode on Apple or Spotify . I’m still reflecting on the energy and impact of that session. It was truly a powerful experience. During the talk, I shared an important reminder: executive presence isn’t about being the loudest and extroverted in the room. It’s about showing up authentically and confidently – and yes, that’s a skill anyone can LEARN.

25 weeks тому28:53

28:53

so i had a concussion 3 months ago dont worry im perfectly fine now I wanted to wait a couple of months before sharing the details. And if you think I’m going to share in this email, I won’t-- you’ll just have to listen to the episode (I know I’m a tease…) We all know that whenever post Labor Day hits everyone is always feeling SO overwhelmed. We think we can be superheroes and do everything, when the reality is that we can’t and we have to be realistic and honest with ourselves, our bodies and the people we love. Getting the concussion I had to readjust to my expectations in body, mind and health, and maybe you also have to readjust to realistic expectations as well. Like you, I often think, “I miss being in my 20s, I was able to do everything.” But now that I’m older the reality is, “I was able to LIE to myself in my 20s, and do everything when the reality is that I didn’t know how to hold boundaries, and didn’t listen to my body to identify what is my realistic energetic capacity. This episode is different—I'm being interviewed by Keeley Antonio for her Feelswell Experiences podcast. Honestly, I was going to record a separate solo episode about what happened, but since I talked to Keeley about it first, I figured: Let's work smarter, not harder, and just reshare it. OR maybe I’m just lazy? lol What We Cover in This Episode: Why work-life balance is a LIE How to identify your realistic capacity What to do when you are overwhelmed How I got my concussion If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call Resources Mentioned: feelswellexperiences.com linkedin.com/in/keelyantonio Psychologytoday.com Episode 54: Work-Life Balance: The Lie with Natalie Kuhn Where We Can Connect: Apply to the Business & Career Mastermind: elainelou.com/mastermind Schedule a Business & Career Audit call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/call Follow the Podcast on Apple: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow the Podcast on Spotify: WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk Follow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_ Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: Elaine Lou Cartas Check out our other podcasts for Women of Color…
