Silence Saboteurs, Embrace Grace, and Build Active Hope with Betsy Clark, Episode 364

I’m thrilled to welcome my friend Betsy Clark to the show, and today we’re going to talk about something incredibly important for women entrepreneurs—Active Hope. Betsy says it best: “Hope is a terrible business strategy, yet Active Hope is a brilliant strategy for life and business.” And that’s what we’re unpacking today—how Active Hope is about taking action, creating momentum, and confidently stepping forward, no matter the challenges. Betsy has used this concept to support women entrepreneurs in building their businesses and lives, and to tap into Active Hope to break through the fear and uncertainty that might be holding them back. If you’ve ever felt like hope isn’t enough, this episode will give you a whole new perspective.   In This Episode: Betsy Clark's transition from running a commercial painting business to discovering her passion for coaching, focusing on mindset and guiding others to their inner wisdom. Introduction of "active hope," emphasizing daily, intentional actions to create possibility and stay engaged with both the present and future. Strategies for helping entrepreneurs quiet their inner critic and foster "active hope" using positive intelligence, amplifying strengths, and tapping into inner wisdom for an empowered mindset. Techniques for breaking free from unhelpful thought patterns through positive intelligence, focusing on practical applications that shift mindsets, rather than relying solely on insight. Use of Positive Intelligence assessments to empower clients in overcoming inner saboteurs, fostering self-empathy, and exploring the truth of past successes. The story and significance behind grace cards, promoting self-acceptance and forgiveness, inspired by a powerful moment of compassion with a stranger.   Betsy Clark has been a successful entrepreneur for 45 years. Previously working in interior design, she created beauty with paint, now she uses words. From refining spaces to reshaping lives. As a Transformation Coach, she now passionately assists women to embrace their distinct strengths, empowering them to find and fearlessly express their authentic voice and to boldly bring their unique strengths forward. By placing emphasis on their inherent brilliance, this helps her clients make solid decisions, take action and create momentum to show up as they truly intend; to stand up on the inside and be unstoppable.    “If you are feeling isolated and less than joyful, go out and play.” ~Betsy Clark   To learn more about Betsy, you can visit her website, you can also connect with her on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
