    As a life and leadership coach, I am very focused on supporting leaders, specifically women leaders, whose lives, businesses, or careers have been interrupted by trauma or crisis. Despite these traumatic disruptions and interruptions, I want them to be inspired to know that they can still go after their big goals. I love to support these women beyond just inspiring them, so I provide mentorship and coaching to help them discover their purpose, set their goals, and stay motivated throughout the journey until they attain their goals.

    I help them through my free public podcast, Plant Your Seeds of Transformation, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and most podcast platforms. I also help by providing an online mentorship group to facilitate their ongoing learning in an affordable way beyond the free podcast episodes. When they’re ready to invest in coaching, I also offer valuable coaching services that give them a supportive framework for taking consistent action over time while going after their goals.

    It is a great honor and a pleasure to share my journey through my writing and podcasting to help inspire and inform other women leaders.

    New Testimonial from Angie R.

    Screen Capture From Coach Donna Marie’s Financial
    Coaching Session with Angie R.

    Angie R came to me for financial coaching*, and this is what she shared about her experience. (Her answers are paraphrased for conciseness.)

    • What did you get out of your session with Coach Donna Marie?
      • You showed me that I already have some of this knowledge and understanding inside of me to help me manage my finances better. For the things I need more help with, I realize that I need to tap into my local community for what is already here and that is accessible and affordable for me, instead of assuming that I cannot afford more help. Your suggestions for local and online resources were helpful, and I will look into those now that I am aware of them.
    • How would you rate your 90-minute session?
      • 10 out of 10
    • Any other feedback?
      • I felt that 90 minutes was not enough time, but I understand that I need to tap into the resources around me in my community for additional help over time.

    *Disclaimer: This was a complimentary financial coaching session for this client to support her after she posted a cry for help on the NextDoor App and many community members, including Coach Donna Marie, came to her aid.

    UPDATED: Content to Support Remote Workers

    LeadLikeAQueen.com/support-remote-workers

    UPDATE: The link for the free download has been updated, scroll down, see the menu bar area, or click here.

    I am Coach Donna Marie. I am a remote worker who opted-in for a more flexible schedule and the ability to make a legitimate income from the same home office where I spent years working on my masters degree during the pandemic. After graduating with a Masters of Art in Executive Leadership, I was interviewing for positions for a few months when I found out about remote work that seemed to be a good opportunity for me.

    ABOUT THE PODCAST AND UPCOMING EPISODES

    Did you know that I am the host of the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast? In previous seasons, we covered topics targeted towards women leaders who are recovering from trauma and crisis. These ranged from recognizing toxic perfectionism, to getting rid of money mistake shame, to managing grief during the holidays. During our upcoming 5th season, we’ll have more episodes just for remote workers (potentially in late summer or early fall of 2024). To listen to the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast, go to PlantYourSeeds.show or search for it most podcast platforms.

    REMOTE WORKERS DESERVE MORE SUPPORT

    I am committing to providing content just for remote workers in this upcoming season because I am well aware they don’t always get as much support as their in-office counterparts. But remote workers work just as hard, if not harder, and deserve to be well supported, too. One thing that I am making available to help remote workers is a free download with business tips. You can see the link in the menu for this blog or use the link below.

    WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT REMOTE WORK?

    As I plan for this upcoming season, I would love to have input from you on questions you would like for me to address about remote work. For instance, are you curious which remote work platforms are available that are legitimate, legal opportunities? Do you want to know if it is a business (i.e., 1099-NEC tax form) or if it is a real job (i.e., w-2 tax form)? (If you want to email me, use my contact page – click here.)

    I know for sure there are specific questions that I asked before I got started in my remote work. I’ll be publishing additional content about this (e.g. types of questions to ask before starting remote work) on my medium blog soon. If you follow me on Medium and join my newsletter there, then you’ll receive updates when new articles are posted. I posted a list of past articles about remote work below, also.

    This blog, the podcast, and the medium blog are all produced by Lead Like A Queen Coaching and Consulting, LLC.

    Why do you use Medium? “I love Medium. I started reading the articles there because they have a very diverse mix of writers and topics. The topics can range from financial and business tips to cold case stories and beyond. I am a naturally curious person, so my Medium reading list continues to grow so that I’ll remember to go back and read articles over time.

    I also started using their audio feature so I could keep reading hands-free. And then I started becoming friends with other Medium writers, many of whom are remote workers or digital nomads.

    I am a member on Medium because the ad-free reading experience is truly excellent, as compared to other blog or news websites where I have to dodge ads from the start to the finish of the article.

    If you’d like to join Medium, use my profile link (click here) to check it out.”

    My medium blog already has some content about remote work. Here’s a hyperlinked list of some of those articles, which you’ll be able to read (or listen to) without any advertisements if you have a medium membership. The first article I posted below is available to you for free, my friend.:

    LOOKING FOR COACHING OR MENTORING WHILE PURSUING REMOTE WORK?

    The podcast and the articles I am writing all provide some level of help for you as you pursue remote work, and as you navigate trauma or crisis as a leader. And do you also need or want additional support, such as mentorship or coaching to help you achieve your goals for your remote work? If so, use the links below to check out my current programs:

It was created to help support new independent LiveOps agents who have been coming on board to work as part of the team I am on. I wrote this because I am a successful remote worker who has been mentoring other remote workers to help them become successful, also.

    I am still enjoying my work as an independent LiveOps agent, and it still comes with its challenges, like every other part of life. One of the most recent challenges was that I had some health challenges I was recovering from, and this interrupted my work schedule. I made the mistake of not tracking my time properly… but not anymore. I developed a tracker to help me do better.

    While recovering my health, the main challenge I had was being able to sit for more than an hour. So, I had to stagger my shifts more so that I could take more frequent breaks. This was devastating for my ability to keep track of my hours in my head like I used to do. I had to pivot to using my own tracking system so that I could compare my records to the client’s records to ensure none of my very scattered disorganized shifts were missed.

    Now that I am feeling better, I am using the tracking system to help me ramp up my work more so that I can achieve higher goals. So, the tracking started as a necessity to prevent a crisis, and now I have been able to pivot it as a planner to help me be more proactive with goal setting. If you’d like a copy of the tracking template, let me know so that I can make that available through my online store, also.

  • Finally! I Updated My LiveOps Testimonial

    Finally! I Updated My LiveOps Testimonial

    For those of you who may have been interested in my updated testimonial about my experience of becoming an Independent LiveOps Agent, the original testimonial from last year is at this link. And the newly updated story from after I was an agent for over 1.5 years is at this medium link.

    In both articles, I shared my genuine testimonial of my own experience. And in the newer article, I also shared a testimonial from someone else who I referred that was accepted by a LiveOps client and has been working in her very own Independent LiveOps Agent business for a little while now. I would love to share more details like the names of the people and of the clients, but I am maintaining professional confidentiality.

    If you register to become a LiveOps agent (use my referral link if you like), then I would be able to share more details with you as a fellow agent and can introduce you to other agents. The most important thing I love about LiveOps is that I am part of a real community of real people that I know care about me. They show me each and every weekday. I am so very grateful. Have a look at that new article to see more about why I say this.

    ENCOURAGEMENT FOR REMOTE WORKERS AND SELF-EMPLOYED

    If you’re a person who has been experiencing some type of trauma, crisis, or hardship, and you refuse to give up hope that you can still set big goals for yourself and even have your own business to work from home, you might also enjoy hearing my podcast to learn more about why I chose this kind of work. The podcast is called “Plant Your Seeds of Transformation” and is on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most other podcast platforms. In one of the episodes, I shared about what you can do to let go of money shame so that it won’t keep making you feel bad about yourself and keep you stuck in bad cycles.

    When you’re starting a new venture or an unconventional type of work, like remote work, sometimes you need as much encouragement as you can get. I hope you’ll check out the podcast show, check out the new article, and share if you find value in what I’m sharing through my writing and podcasting.

    I hope all is well for you and yours. Thanks for reading.
