Showing Up for Your Life with Brian Dixon

On this week’s episode of Cultivating the Lovely, MacKenzie Koppa is joined by Brian Dixon, author of Start with Your People: The Daily Decision that Changes Everything. Brian has a passion for coaching people to find clarity and pursue their goals and lives with intention. He and his wife Julie live in North Carolina with their three children. Today MacKenzie and Brian talk about showing up and focussing on the people in your life, including:

• MacKenzie shares an example of how the message of Start with Your People has impacted her own business and podcast community
• Brian talks about how we can’t see ourselves the way others see us
• How Brian’s own “360 assessment” led him to change and inspired him to write this book
• The importance of engaging with the people and relationships in your life instead of just coasting through your days
• Taking control of your habits, routines and philosophy for your home so that you can face challenges with intention instead of constantly putting out fires.

 

• Changing the vision for your marriage, family and work to make more of the time you have
• Embracing our “lovely limitations” and focussing on the legacy you are leaving for the future
• Brian shares the how and why of life mapping
• Being strategic about positioning yourself for the life that you want to live
• Choosing to make one small change to get to where you want to be a year from now
• What happened when Brian started a habit of gratitude
• Asking for help and taking action on what you are learning
• Being part of the solution by serving others in small ways
