In this episode, we have invited Darla Bonk. Her professional experience ranges from executive sales leadership with Fortune 200 companies across the country to Executive Director for the American Cancer Society to coaching, consulting, and partnering with her husband in their architectural metal flashings company, and now serving as a local councilperson in their community. Darla will discuss some strategies that will help you get clarity on your priorities.
Key Takeaways from my chat with Darla:
- Darla’s most curious about outside work: Darla is curious about the RV lifestyle. She and her husband, Jeff research different state parks and private campgrounds and like to watch videos of how people have redecorated their RVs.
- How Darla impacts the community with her work: Darla and Jeff own a metal fabrication company that caters to the roofing and construction industries. She was determined to reawaken her team to dream again. Most of her employees were accustomed to simply wanting to work and receive a paycheck in order to support their families. But being able to dream again, feeling inspired, and embarking on this path with her spouse and crew has been extremely life-giving.
- Where Darla finds success: Darla wants to be someone who can connect other people by bridging the gaps between where they are now and where they want to be.
- How Darla views past mistakes: She tries to detach herself from guilt related to mistakes. Mistakes are part of growth, personally and professionally. She encourages people to seek out lessons in “mistakes” or missed opportunities in order to grow.
- Darla’s advice on aligning with your true priorities: Find more opportunities to engage with your creative side and ways to recharge your batteries.
- Darla’s book recommendation: The Five-Second Rule by Mel Robbins
