[Episode 39] Incredible, heart-wrenching interview with the amazing Jess Rogers Coach talking SMART Goals and Racism.

On today’s episode we feature, Jess Rogers, a longtime friend and business coach to TechPixies founder, Joy Foster. Although Jess was scheduled to talk about SMART goals - and we do get round to the topic towards the end of the podcast - we could not avoid talking about what is happening right now in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Although Jess has found the last few weeks incredibly draining, she offers some fantastic advice for those of us who don’t know what to say or do around the issue.

Jess says: “I get that it’s difficult for people to know what to say, they don’t want to say the wrong thing, or say nothing… the key thing for me is to show empathy, you can’t say you have a shared experience, or know how it feels, but be open to listening -not passively but actually hearing what’s being said to you.” Here at TechPixies, we’re passionate about learning and growing as individuals and as an organization. We know that none of us get it right all the time, but admitting change is necessary and being a willing to stand up for what is right, with an open heart and mind, is a good place to start.

We also talk about SMART goals! Being an award winning business and life coach and a special guest speaker at several of our events, who could be better to interview on the subject?! If you haven’t started any goals of your own or could use a refresher then this episode is for you…
