Ignite Your Spark
Get "lit" with conversations that will encourage you to share your light! If you are a woman in mid-life or beyond and struggling to get motivated, know there is more for you. Join me as I share conversations with inspirational women who are rocking life. My message is that you are never too old.....to pursue a passion, step outside of your comfort zone and find joy at this stage in life. We all have a spark inside and right now the world needs YOUR light. I invite you to listen to me weekly as I have conversations with spiritual teachers, coaches, healers, authors, leaders in the metaphysical arena and really cool women who will inspire and motivate you. Occasionally I will share my own tips and tricks for getting "lit".
Who is Kim Selby - your host? A motivator, fashionista, yogi, dancer, performer. I am aging gracefully into my 3rd act. I have had careers in fashion at GLAMOUR Magazine and as the Fashion Director of Saks Fifth Avenue in Palo Alto. I have had careers in advertising and public relations as well. I had my own fashion show production company for over 20 years where I worked with moms, volunteers, teens, dads, and children helping them find their inner diva on the runway. The hundreds of shows I produced were fundraisers for schools or organizations and I witnessed how with coaching, the right clothes, hair and makeup, women increased their self esteem exponentially. This led me to a Creativity Coaching certification (Kaizen-Muse), and to creating my own Sparkle Coaching for women. As an avid volunteer I have worked in my community at schools and various organizations in order to give back. Favorite and most impactful position was producing a fund raiser fashion show featuring previously incarcerated women. I assisted them in enhancing their self esteem as they reintegrated into society. I have a self guided class coming soon - How to Ignite Your Spark in mid-life and Beyond. I speak on stages virtually and in person on how to Ignite Your inner spark and I share the message that you are never too old. At the age of 64 I started pursuing my first love of acting and now have a modeling and commercial career as well. I invite you all to SHINE ON! Please reach out to me with questions or comments and if you love the podcast I hope you will rate, subscribe, comment and share. My goal is to bring more light to our planet.

IGNITE and Communicate with Courage with Michelle Gladieux
Communication is key in all areas of our life. Business, relationships and every day wanderings require communication. According to my guest Michelle Gladieux, raising your game as a communicator is one of the best ways to make a difference in the world, but it takes courage.
Michelle is an instructional designer, trainer and executive coach. She has 18 years of collegiate teaching experience and has her own consulting company helping teams of people communicate with courage.
Her new book COMMUNICATE WITH COURAGE guides us on a journey to take risks to overcome four hidden challenges that Michelle has identified. These challenges often stop us from communicating to the best of our abilities.
Michelle gives us many pro-tips as she calls it, to assist us in our own communication journey. Her four hidden challenges (fears) that she has refined from coaching thousands of people are: hiding from risk, defining to be right, rationalizing the negative and settling for good enough.
We all do one or more of these in our communication with others and Michelle gives us examples of each of these four challenges and a few tips s to help us overcome them for better communication.
Thanks for tuning in and as always, if you are enjoying the podcast, please share, subscribe and rate. Let's set sparks aglow!
