Wavemakers is an initiative I've kickstarted with Femme-O-Nomics’ founder Leah Eichler (@Femmeonomics) that profiles female innovators — women who are constantly blazing new trails, inspiring others and revolutionizing the status quo.
This week we meet Bonnie Flatt, a Toronto-based executive coach and former Legal/HR Consultant for Mercer Canada. You can follow her @BonnieFlatt.
My mind is a whirlwind of activity, energy and space. Each day I am learning and practicing more about being fully present, listening and connecting to the heart of the matter and developing consciousness in my interactions with my clients, family, friends and my community.
2. If you could choose what to come back as, what would it be?
I would come back as a golden retriever.
My greatest indulgence and joy is putting aside time every day to be authentically present with my teenage children, listening and interacting with them in whatever way works for them.
4. What or who helped you the most to achieve your success?
My father has been my greatest inspiration. He taught me that if you want something badly enough, keep at it, believe in yourself and look forward. Build your business one step at a time and learn from your mistakes.
If you want to achieve something get really clear on what it is you want and what it looks like. Then pay attention to the language you use and your underlying assumptions and beliefs. Consciously choose language and beliefs that will support you in achieving your goal and then get into action.
