Empathy and Relationships

My father taught me early in life that empathy and relationships go hand-in-hand. I am grateful he did, because during my teen years, I spent time with a family that treated me like a slave.
I was expected to cook and clean for them day and night. Leaving the house without their permission was not allowed. They required any friends or family who came to see me to get their approval first. The situation was so stressful for me, when combined with the constant bombings and deprivations of the war, that it led to the premature birth of my daughter and the death of my infant son.

A Tough Choice

I faced two choices: Allow the way they treated me to change me or to rise above their treatment, find reasons to empathize with them and their situation, and refuse to allow my heart to change because of the way they treated me. Empathy saved me from becoming bitter and jaded, developing a soul as ugly as the behavior they exhibited. I doubt I would have handled things the same way without that early training from my father.

It allowed me to form healthy relationships with other people. Those relationships form the cornerstone of my success. 

Developing the Needed Skills

Empathy was not a hot topic back in the late 1970’s and 80’s. There were not a lot of people out there teaching about it. Today, it’s a subject of frequent discussion, but there are few courses out there helping people develop skills in empathy.

When Robin Hills offered to include his course on empathy among EmpoweringHumanityTV.com’s classes, I was thrilled. I knew how important this was to helping the members of the Empowering Humanity community improve their lives.

The Benefits of Empathy

In addition to helping people overcome trauma, empathy is a soft skill that can help people improve their work and family lives. It can increase their chances of landing, and keeping, high-paying jobs where the ability to form relationships is essential.

Become an Abundance Super Attractor

There was no one to teach me how to become a worthy queen and abundance super attractor when I was younger. I missed out on so many opportunities because I did not know my worth.

Losing Opportunities to Attract Abundance

My mother worked as an embroiderer in a bridal shop when I was living in Saudi Arabia. The owner wanted to pay me good money to model her wedding gowns. It was an opportunity to attract the abundance I wanted.
However, I didn’t feel good enough to work alongside the other models because of my limited education. I quit the job. I let my insecurities cost me a chance to create a better life for myself and my daughter.

Encountering an Abundance Super Attractor, Petia Kolibova

Years later, I met a young woman named Petia Kolibova. She specialized in teaching women how to overcome those insecurities and become worthy queens and abundance super attractors. Her motto is “Be Unapologetically Worthy!
I’d already discovered my own path to attracting abundance, but I recognized the value that she could bring to women who were struggling. That’s why I invited her to partner with me in sharing her online class,  “Be Unapologetically Worthy!” on our EmpoweringHumanityTV.com/classes site.
If she could empower even one woman to believe in herself and avoid the struggles I faced on my journey, it would be worth it.

A Mini-Course to Overcome the Roadbloacks

Many of the women I know struggle with not feeling worthy of the things they desire. They often do not feel good enough to have the life of abundance they desire. Petia’s course is designed to help those women overcome the roadbloacks and get on the road to becoming the worthy queen and abundance super attractor they were always meant to be.

The mini-course is just five short lessons but it is jam-packed with value. Normally $197, it is less than $100 as an introductory offer. For those who struggle with feeling worthy or good enough to have the things they want in life, learn more on our EmpoweringHumanityTV.com/classes site.

Defending Data Against Hackers and Thieves

The best time to start defending data against hackers and thieves is before they access it. Unfortunately, most people don’t think about the security of their computers, identities, or personal data until something happens.

The Price for Failing to Take Action

Identity theft cost consumers more than $56 billion in 2020 alone according to a report by Javelin Strategy & Research. Allstate Protection Services states that it can take 100 to 200 hours over six months to undo identity theft.

Technological Advances Make Hacking Easier

Hacking tools are cheap to make and easy to access. Amazon carries a range of small, portable hacking devices. No advanced knowledge is required to use them.
Prices range between $39 and $129.  Just one of these devices can allow hackers to copy and store credit cards, record passwords as they are being typed, or read and copy RFID tags, for example.

Smart Technology Increases Data Vulnerabilities

The increase in smart devices geared toward making life more convenient for consumers increases the vulnerabilities of data.  No need to gain access to multiple devices when it’s all controlled by a smartphone. To unlock every bit of smart technology a consumer uses, all they have to do is access one device.  With the right hardware, they don’t even have to touch the smartphone to access it.

Cybersecurity Expert Mack Jackson, Jr. on Defending Data from Hackers and Thieves

This is a topic that my dear friend, Mack Jackson Jr. – the owner and CEO of Vanderson Cyber Group – knows well. As a Cybersecurity Awareness Speaker and TV Host, he spends his days teaching others how to protect themselves while providing powerful tools, insights, and techniques on “How to Keep Your Greatest Asset Secure.”

The Benefits of Vocal Coaching

There are many benefits to vocal coaching. Voices are just like every other instrument people use: it takes training to master the art of using them effectively

Vocal Coaching: Not Just for Singers

When it comes to vocal coaching, many people believe it’s just for singers. However, a good vocal coach can benefit anyone who is required to engage in regular public speaking. Actors and actresses, public speakers and teachers, executives and trainers to name just a few.

A good vocal coach will train their clients in proper breathing techniques, support and posture, sound placement, tone creation, and perfecting vocal control – all of which can benefit anyone whose occupation depends on their voice. For singers, they can also help them increase their vocal range, eliminate vocal breaks, and develop endurance.

Beyond Singing: Surprising Benefits of Vocal Coaching

While vocal coaching can improve anyone’s singing or speaking voice, there are other benefits as well. Many who have undergone vocal coaching have experienced an increase in confidence both on and off stage. Singing also reduces stress and increases feelings of happiness and well-being. Studies have reported that subjects who engage in vocal coaching increase their mental awareness and alertness.

Stephanie Thompson: Vocal Coach

Many people believe that great voices are something a person is either born with or not. However, Stephanie knows the truth: good voices aren’t born. They’re trained.

Flawless performances do not happen by accident. They require regular training and a lot of practice. Stephanie approaches coaching with an overall goal of helping the singer achieve a finer grasp of musical style. She also assists clients in exploring performance practices of certain eras, style characteristics of select genres, and unique compositional traits of popular composers.

A Testimonial from Cody Heard – Organist and Singer

“After working with Stephanie Thompson as my Vocal coach, my singing improved dramatically.I would highly recommend Stephanie if you’re a singer at any level.I had better breath support and my natural voice really came out so that I was singing more freely and my voice was stronger. Now I love singing even more than ever because I’m so comfortable with my technique and my confidence level is through the roof. She has the ability to really delve into your voice and bring out the best voice you have!”

Five Ways to Program Your Mind for Success

Five proven methods to program your mind for success by guest author, Judi Moreo.

While success is not the be-all and end-all, it is something most of us strive for in at least one area of our lives. It creates self-worth, confidence, and increased income. The most successful people know a secret that those who aren’t successful aren’t aware of. The key to success is mindset.

Why Program Your Mind for Success

Ultra-successful people like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs who started with little or nothing have programmed their minds to believe in themselves and to visualize their success. They created goals, visualized their achievement, and then went for it.

If you want success, then you need to emulate ultra-successful people.

Preparing Your Mind for Success

First, you need to define what success is for you. Is it a promotion at work? Perhaps it’s a certain lifestyle. Write down what your definition is.

Next, create a goal. This is the endpoint of your road to success. Be specific about what your outcome will be; exactly what you want to achieve.

Once you’ve identified your goal you need to know the steps you can take to achieve it. This is your road map. If your goal is promotion at work, then what will you need to do to achieve that? You could create a list of things you need to do. For example:

  1. Take a training course in Advanced Accounting Methods.
  2. Get resume rewritten.
  3. Join a professional society.
  4. Network with accountants working at the level you want to achieve.
  5. Be more pro-active in team/management meetings.

Now that you know what you want to achieve and how to get there, you need to consider the best method to use to program your mind for achieving the success you desire.

Five Proven Methods to Program Your Mind for Success

1. Hypnosis

Using self-hypnosis by purchasing ready-made recordings to listen to can be very effective.

Alternatively, you could work with a hypnotherapist who will create a recording specifically for you, as well as provide individually tailored hypnosis sessions to help you.

2. NLP

While NLP techniques are generally undertaken within sessions with a trained Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, there are certain techniques you could use yourself. These include:

  • Reframing
  • The Swish
  • Mental Movies

If you decide to go down this route, you need to understand how to use the techniques.

3. Affirmations

Positive affirmations are both popular and effective. You need to write them in the present tense and they are written as if you are living/have achieved the goal you want to achieve.

If you want to improve your weight loss and achieve a certain size, your affirmations might be:

  • I am slim.
  • I make healthy choices at every meal.
  • I eat enough to satiate my appetite.
  • I work out every day for at least 15 minutes.
  • I feel confident about my appearance.
  • I enjoy socializing as I get lots of complements about my appearance.

Post your affirmations on your fridge, in your bathroom, bedroom, and anywhere else where you will see them regularly.

Create a recording of your affirmations and listen to it first thing in the morning and last thing at night for extra effectiveness. This increases the likelihood of success as your subconscious is more receptive in the first 20 minutes after waking and the 20 minutes before you fall asleep.

4. Visualization

Visualizing yourself living the change you want to make is powerful. You can create a mental movie or a vision board.

To create a vision board you add pictures, words and your affirmations to poster board and post it where you will see it often.

5. Coaching

This is a powerful and effective way to help you achieve your goals. There are coaches who work in wide niches such as life or business. Additionally, there are coaches who specialize in niches such as achievement, creativity, weight loss, and even parenting.

Working with a coach gives you access to someone who will work with you to achieve your goals using a wide range of tools and techniques.

Whichever method you decide to use, it is important to remember that you hold the power to change your mind and your life for the better.
