America's Toughest Trainer - Jillian Michaels

As one of the trainer's on The Biggest Loser, and now with her own show, Losing It with Jillian, Jillian Michaels is America's toughest trainer.  She has managed to inspire a nation to get off their butt and get healthier.

She has been a part of the Get RADICAL Women's Conference for the past two years and what I love most about her is that she is genuine.  She genuinely cares, she's genuinely nice, and she truly cares about those who are seeking her help.

Check out some of the highlights from her speech at the 2010 conference and then be sure to join me and Jillian at the 2011 conference.

Get Unstuck

One of the common challenges my clients face are finding ways to get unstuck.  They have been wanting to achieve a goal for a while, but haven't made any real progress towards it.  They want to move forward, they want to take action, but find their feet stuck in quicksand. 

One of the great talents that Valorie Burton has is helping people get unstuck.  She was one of the incredible speakers at the 2010 Get RADICAL Women's Conference and here are some highlights from her speech.  She shares some reasons we get stuck - and some strategies for finally moving forward.

Highlights and Lessons

To say things have been busy since the conference is an understatement!  I have busy working with coaching clients, speaking and training, updating my website and planning a fantastic RADICAL retreat this fall. 

Over the next several weeks, I'll be sharing highlight videos from the speakers at the conference.  And first up - is me!  Below are two clips from my speech, What 13.1 Miles Can Teach You.  I'm sharing life lessons I leanred while training for, and then completing, my first half maration.

Also, take a look at my brand new, redesigned website - http://www.doreenrainey.com/.  This new site allows better navigation and easy access to all of my programs and services.

Finally, do you want to get away?????  Then be sure to attend my Get RADICAL Women's Retreat, September 10 - 12, 2010 at Red Mountain Spa in St. George, Utah.  All the details can be found on the retreat website.  You can also listen to a preview call I did that shared all the details about the retreat, including who should attend, the content of the workshops, the results you'll get and the location. There are only 24 spots available for this amazing 3 day/ 2 night adventure.  Won't you join us?

Is Selfish a Dirty Word?

One of the biggest challenges people usually face is making decisions that are in their own best interest. Some believe that when they "put themselves first", "focus on their own interest", or "make a priority of their welfare", they are acting in an unacceptable way. They are acting selfishly.

By definition, selfish means concerned with one's own interest, benefits and welfare - regardless of others. Is there any surprise that the last thing people want to be labeled is the "s" word. The challenge comes in when we go too far on the other end of the spectrum - selfless. Giving in to the needs of everyone, everywhere, every time - regardless of your own priorities or what's best for you.

If you consistently ignore your own wants and needs for the sake of others, you can become resentful, bitter, and lose yourself. By continually allowing others to dictate how you spend your time, your energy and your resources, you may quickly find yourself completely drained. And the result? You have nothing left to give.

However, when you take care of yourself, investing in those things that make you happy, give you joy, that are important to you, and help you become your best person, it can be a win-win. You would have fostered fulfillment and satisfaction within yourself , while at the same time, allowing those around you to benefit from it. How? Because when you are at your best, you have more to give -and with a better attitude.

What are some ways you can begin the process of investing in you?

• Say no when necessary.
• Make your health a priority.
• Set aside time to focus on you.
• Spend time on your hobbies.

Only One Word - WOW!!

The Get RADICAL Women's Conference this past Saturday was amazing.  Women from all across the country - and Canada, Europe and Israel - joined me for a day of inspiration, motivation and fun!  The speakers were incredible and the energy was off the charts. 

Rhonda Britten talked about being fearless, Valorie Burton talked about getting unstuck, Kim Snider shared how to make money and KEEP money, Marshawn Evans talked about reinventing yourself, and I shared life lessons from training and running a half marathon.

And, of course, Jillian Michaels rocked the house! Answering questions from the audience, she gave great advice and insight on how to live your best life.  She is genuine, authenic, caring, fun, and has a true heart for helping people reach their goals - physically and beyond.  Here's a short clip of us chatting it up before we hit the stage:



Our RADICAL Woman of the Year Award Winner - Amy Barnes - told her incredible story of triump and touched every woman in the room. I'll definitely be sharing more about her in an upcoming post.  She is definitely a woman who exemplified what it means to Get RADICAL!

I'll be sharing tips and strategies from our speakers over the next couple of weeks. All of them had great information to help us get unstuck, move forward, and create the life - and the lifestyle - we all deserve.
