Be Encouraged with Master Encourager Michael Arterberry – 250th Episode!

As a teenager, Michael was fortunate to receive guidance from positive adult role models who helped him overcome adversities and set high expectations for his future. Grateful for the role these mentors played in his own development, Michael decided to dedicate his professional life to helping people navigate the difficulties of life and launch their future into motion. For more than 25 years, he has been helping teens and adults to use what they have gone through as a catalyst for success rather than an obstacle for failure.

Michael received the 2010 USA Network’s Characters Unite Award for exceptional commitment to combating prejudice and discrimination while increasing tolerance and acceptance within the community. He is also the recipient of the 2014 100 Men of Color Award for leadership in education, government, mentorship, entrepreneurial success and community service.

In 2008, Michael founded Youth Voices Center, Inc. a non-profit with the mission of helping young people to become active, productive members of society by overcoming their obstacles, their history, stereotypes and even their own self-image and limiting beliefs.

High Performance Blueprint

I had the utmost pleasure in having The High Performance Dad on the show today. Jeff is a Coach that works with a specific blueprint to address people’s mindset, their habits, their goals and now that he is a Father…..he can totally relate to Dad’s out there that are feeling the ‘crunch’ of trying look after their families and still maintain balance in their lives.

Good news only please!

I just want to love a little more on everyone. It’s going to be OK…things are bad, they’ll probably get worse, but you will come out the other side of this and I want it to be with a better attitude and more learning to carry you forward when things are good again.

We put our Dog down|Death|

This weeks Podcast is very emotion and really not for my regular listeners. But if you are facing putting a pet down and are unsure…have a listen. My constant companion, my baby girl of 15 years left us yesterday to run again in heavens dog parks. Until we got her and became ‘those’ pet parents I hadn’t really understood the love and connection an animal brings to a life. Even though I had pets as a child I was raised with the belief they were just animals without a soul. Oh how wrong I was. My heart hurts beyond belief today. She went everywhere with us. No one knew us that didn’t know her. She was special…..love wrapped up in a fur body. I just want another day, another week but I know it never would have been enough. She could run like the wind at 2 so watching her daily try to stand and not have accidents was so hard. But she was happy right until the end. She gave me the happiest day in months yesterday while we walked in the sun., visited neighbours to say goodbye and got loved all over. I know she is def doing better than I am today. May there be balls to chase and food to get into my little love

Fix It, Accept It or Leave It

Are spending time complaining but doing nothing to change things? Perhaps it’s time to change you way of thinking.

Revenge or Resolution

How do you tend to naturally react to situations around you? Our need to often “make someone pay” is probably holding you back from resolving a situation and avoid escalation.

Have a Reason

Life is a challenge, but it can be even more of a challenge if you don’t have a Why, a Reason or a Goal. It can seem like you are just coasting along with no purpose. And that can breed discouragement.

Hire What you need!

There is someone out there for almost anything you can think of. Are doing things and wasting time on tasks you don’t know how to do? Or NOT doing something and using it as an excuse to not move forward?

Start with the Person in the mirror

Change has to start with you! You can only change yourself, not other people. You are the common denominator in everything in your life.
