Stephanie:

Hello and welcome everyone. Today we are going to discuss the Oola Accelerator Integrity. Integrity is my personal word of the year, and is defined as adherence to moral and ethical principles. And as a reminder, Oola accelerators are those traits and characteristics that will help to propel you into having an Oola life even faster. And today we have Coach Christine Kash here with us to talk more about why integrity is so important. Christine is passionate about helping other people succeed and grow into their best selves. She is educated as a teacher and has worked in the health and wellness industry for 30 years before diving into life coaching. Owning her own businesses has paved a path for her to provide employment and services that help people change their lives and get healthier. Her extensive knowledge in small business and franchising business has created a specific niche in leadership development. She is skilled at teaching new and aspiring leaders from stage or in small groups to develop the skills needed to excel in the workplace. I am coach Stephanie and I am here today with Coach Melinda, my co-host, and a coach who will help you align your goals and dreams into your life. Coach Christine Kash.

Melinda:

Hi, Melinda. Hello, Stephanie. Hi, coach Chris. Stephanie and I are on a mission to showcase some of our fabulous Oola life coaches and share their stories. We are very excited to introduce Chris Co asked our listeners today as she shares about herself and the Oola Accelerator integrity. Welcome Chris, and thanks

Chris:

for joining us today. Oh my gosh, thank you. That was such an amazing opening. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Stephanie:

Hey, Chris, you are a mentor, coach and the master coach in the Oola community. Tell us more about what this means and what you have learned

Chris:

from your role. Absolutely. mentor coaching is, a group of people who have volunteered their time to step out and help other coaches as they're coming through the process to learn to be coaches. Uh, kind of that place where we can step and say, oh, what if my client says this? So it's kind of a sounding board for all new coaches coming in. as the master coach, one of my jobs is to help the mentor coaches. reach out and be available. and as a master coach, I train and I provide content to all of our certified coaches to help enhance their regular education and to stay in tune with the newest coaching trends and the newest things in the coaching world. I do skew it hard to Oola. so I spend a lot of time in my coaching talking about the blockers and the accelerators and the seven key areas. So, Because if you have balance in those in as in your own life, then you'll also be able to help your clients have balance in that space. You are definitely a

Stephanie:

natural at it in Excel as both mentor, coach and master coach. and who has been a mentor to you yourself, either past or present and in what capacity?

Chris:

I have a couple of mentors because one of the things that I really value in my life, and it, and I'm sure you guys have done all the accelerators with wisdom being one of them, but, I search out mentors in different spaces in my life for areas that I want development in. So in Oola specifically, I've forged a relationship with some other amazing coaches and I really look to Dave. Uh, one of the founders as an integral mentor piece there. but outside of Oola in my personal life, for years I worked in the health and wellness industry in the weight loss with Jenny Craig and Jenny herself. Was amazing. I met Jenny when I was 24 years old. and where I would not say I had a, oh, I can dial her cell phone any time relationship with her. But I did have the ability to email or to contact Jenny if I needed mentoring in the business world. She was brilliant. and there was a gentleman named Bob Boots that, uh, I actually worked for who taught me. The ethics of business. He taught me what I wanted to do, what I wanted my businesses, what I wanted my business relationships to look like. and, and quite frankly, he also taught me a few things that I did not want my businesses to look like. So mentors can come both as a, I emulate you and his examples of some things that you wanna stay away from. I totally

Stephanie:

agree with that. And that's amazing about the Jenny Craig. I did not know that.

Melinda:

Yeah. One of the things I love about the mentor coaches and Dr. Dave and Dr. Troy is that you guys are always out there book name dropping, and so like you said, mentors come and go. And I just love when you guys drop a new book name. I can go check it out. And you're recently doing the success principles, which I, I have that one too, and I love that one. So it's neat to see where we all connect like that. What actually brought you to Oola?

Chris:

How'd you find it? Yeah, my Oola story is at, up until recently was like the biggest traumatic piece in my life. recently I've had another huge, like pivot and that I'm still working through, but initially I was at a point where my, in my business where I was failing financially, I was feeling like a failure. I was literally surfing the internet. Looking to find out how much my insurance was worth if I, for my family and support, if I was no longer here. I'm not saying I was on the fence and ready to commit suicide, but I was starting to investigate those pieces to figure out what if, what, what if I was gone, would all of this go away for my family? and it was, it was a really dark. Bad place. and to avoid that, I was literally just surfing the internet and I came across these two guys doing a video on Facebook and it was Dave and Troy and they were talking about where you are is just where you are. It is not who you are. And it just hit me and I'm like, I wanted to know more. I stopped searching other things. I went to their page and I just started scrolling through their page. I followed it. And I'm not saying everything was fixed in that moment. It was not, not even like mentally all fixed in that moment. But I started following Oola at that point as a stalker. Please don't think I was involved at all. I literally just stalked them, right? Um, but as things got better and as I was in a better mindset, place a little bit at a time with Oola, I was able to create action steps and, and work on the things in my life that were not in the right place. And I came out of it. And then when the coaching came out, just shortly after that, I was all in and I'm like, yep, this, this changed my life. This made an impact for me. My life would've been dramatically different had I continued down a different path. And so that's how I came to Oola.

Melinda:

the Moment for you would've been hearing that. Where you are. It's just where you are. It's not who you are. What is the first goal that really stands out to you when you went through the lifestyle framework and started working that out? Can you think of what really brought you into it

Chris:

absolutely. My very first, and it's not that I didn't logically know Smart goals before Oola, I did. It's what we do in the health and wellness industry all the time. I logically understood how to. Create and get goals. But what I didn't inherently like put into my own life was how the action steps had to all roll up to the bigger picture. Everything was in its own little boxes in my life. And so my very first goal that I set with Oola was to stop spending money outside of the, the needs and our means. So you're gonna completely laugh because I was at such a horrible low point with, and we're gonna talk about integrity in a little bit, but with integrity to myself, that I literally took my credit cards, I put each one in a Ziploc bag, I filled it with water, and I put them in the freezer. My first action step was to freeze my credit cards so that if I wanted to use them, it had to be intentional and it had to be a process to get them out of the ice. Well, that's great.

Stephanie:

It worked.

Melinda:

It worked. That's a great tool. How about for your first client that you coached through Oola? Can you think of something, a goal that they hit that really resonated with you? Or not even your first one, just one that really

Chris:

stands out to you? I had a client who through the course of the Transform the 12 week program that we, well, the 10 week, I do it in 12, but the Transform Program, she lost over that 12 week period, she lost almost 30 pounds. And where fitness is only one week, one component of it, the fact is she so beautifully integrated every single F back into her Oola one, which was fitness and weight loss. I learned so much from her about how to keep everything together, even though I was coaching it and I was supposed to, you know, be the expert. I learned so much from her in that experience. It was amazing. So much in fact, that my word for 2023 was a alignment because where I, I hesitate to say I used her as a mentor because I didn't go back and. And have these conversations, but definitely as an example of how she tackled bringing Oola into her life through complete alignment. That's one of my goals for 2023 is alignment.

Melinda:

I'd like to lose 30 pounds in 12 weeks. That would be awesome.

Chris:

Seriously, this woman was on fire.

Stephanie:

I, once coached a client too that had, a goal to do the 30, whole 30, and I had always heard about it and I was curious about it, so I did it with her for a month. so yeah, I, I think that's really cool when your clients can help bring, you know, more into your life too. Wait

Melinda:

a minute. Did it work for you? The whole 30.

Stephanie:

Um, so I live in an area where finding the ingredients for that was challenging. I was having to drive so many places, so it wasn't financially like responsible of me to do it, but I did incorporate a lot of pieces from it. So, yeah, I, I do appreciate the method. It just was really difficult for me to actually make the recipes right. so as I mentioned earlier, we are discussing the Oola accelerator of Integrity. So let's jump right into that. Um, Chris, what does the word integrity

Chris:

mean to you? Integrity is following through and doing what you say you're going to do, regardless of whether you say it out loud or not. Um, integrity with other people. It's actually much, much easier for most of us, totally, myself included, because there's a public judgment that goes with it. I think when we talk about integrity, I think the, the place where most of us struggle and work with integrity is in maintaining it with ourselves. And so public integrity, when there's judgment about whether you do or you don't do, has one place, but I think personal integrity is a much, much bigger, uh, Thing to be working on for most of us.

Stephanie:

I like how you separate it from public to personal. I do wanna ask you that question, get into that a little bit later. Um, I like to believe that everyone or most everyone aspires to act with integrity. I. But we're all human and we all make mistakes. Sometimes they are big and obvious, like the black and white, and sometimes they're more subtle in like the gray area. So what do you think about that and what do you do when you need to

Chris:

admit your mistakes? Yeah, that's actually a really, really neat way to put it with black, white, and gray because you know, if you do someone or something wrong, it's wrong. When you're doing things right, it's right. But there is that space in the middle. and we talk about it like little white lies and that's the gray space. And I really struggled with the idea of that gray space when I. My child was coming up through his early teen years. At what point do you stop playing Santa Claus and Easter Bunny? I'm sorry for everybody who has children listening to this podcast. Um, but at what point is that, is is that no longer in integrity with, with being honest with my kid. Right? And so that's the type of stuff. Now there are other ones, like when somebody says, did you spill the water? No. Because, you know, maybe I bumped it with my elbow, but I didn't actually spill it. You know, those type of gray ones, I can let that kinda stuff go. But I really did struggle with integrity when it affects someone else's beliefs. So the gray space for me is more like that blue sky concept of if I allow this lack of integrity. To affect someone else, that's when I have to pull it back and I have to own up. So that's where my line is. Everybody's gonna have their own line. I get that. Some people are gonna say, there's no gray, it's all black and it's all white. I live in a very gray world. I do but if, if the break in integrity. Potentially or negatively will affect someone else. That's where I draw the line for myself and I will step up and come clean. and you ask, how do I do that? Honestly, I usually just go to the other person and say, I need to talk to you. I made an error or I had a lack of judgment, and I would like to. Talk to you about that. Sometimes I have to ask for forgiveness, and sometimes I just need to put it on the table and say, here's what I did, or how can I make restitution So,

Melinda:

That's great I think for me, there's definitely a gray. I think the black and white for me is doing the right thing when nobody else is looking. Where it gets gray for me is when I'm gonna throw somebody else under the bus or you know, I wanna do the right thing, but it's gonna hurt somebody else's feelings. That's when it starts to turn gray for me. So how do you handle those situations? I assume, and this is assuming you're going through some changes right now, and so probably your integrity is being tested almost

Chris:

daily. it is, and you're right. The situations I'm going through right now, It does daily and test my integrity. What I have found at this point in the situation where I'm having to close out one business and pivot and transition into another one, and there are employees, there are clients, there are all of these people being affected, and they all have their own desires, opinions, and beliefs in the situation. The way that I'm staying white with my integrity right now is full transparency. Transparency's a big word for me. And so if it is something that I am in control of or I'm directing and it involves other people, I simply. Have open transparency almost to the point where, one of my key players in my business right now said, I kind of wish you wouldn't tell me all these things, that you would leave me in the dark a little bit, because sometimes the dark feels better. And I said, I know, I know it might, but it's not a good place to live. So full transparency, even when that's hard, allows my integrity to say, I've done everything I can and I've put you in a position where you can make your own decisions. And by doing that, I, I lose my judgment as to what I want you to do. I will tell you straight up, here's what I would appreciate, here's what I would like, but I understand you have to make your own decisions. So transparency kind of fixes that for me right

Melinda:

now. That's great answer. Transparency. I love, Coach's Corner when you are right out with it. And sometimes you just tell us how it is and this is what you need to do. how about when I started Oola, I didn't actually have the integrity to accomplish the action steps. I wasn't holding myself accountable. So going through the lifestyle framework, did you both find too that your integrity to yourself

Chris:

improved? I did. Absolutely. And I, I have integrity to myself in all of the areas except fitness has always been pretty strong. if I make a statement like with the credit cards of I'm gonna stop using my credit cards, even if I hadn't told anyone else that, that would've been an easy personal integrity piece for me. But in the fitness space, About what I'm going to eat and getting out and exercising for some reason, that's a space where I have a lot of blockers. And so yes, my integrity to myself has been getting better in that area. through using Oola principles and through using accountability, I find that

Stephanie:

the framework and especially making integrity, my word of the year has. Really pushed me like last night, I'm just gonna use an example. I really wanted a cupcake. It was like nine o'clock and I was watching a show with my son and I was like, oh, I could have this cupcake. And I'm like, Nope, I'm just gonna power it through it because I said I'm not eating after seven. So yeah, it's been really challenging. But also I do like that I chose that word because, you know, otherwise I would've just been like, it's not gonna matter if I eat that cupcake cuz who cares? Um, 23 Strong also is a good program.

Chris:

your strong is amazing. Yeah,

Stephanie:

that's a good one. Okay. So let's go back to when we talked about how it seems to be easier to have integrity with others, the public integrity and keeping your word to them, more than yourself with the personal integrity. Talk to us about why your personal integrity is just as important, if not more important, than the public integrity.

Chris:

Personal integrity is your belief in yourself, and one of the things that I believe happens with public integrity, is that you have a whole world. Who's gonna judge you and hold you? We always say, we don't like judging. Right? But the reality is, it happens, okay? And it happens every day, all the time. Even when people are not judging for the sake of belittling, there's a level of judgment that's always there. And in the public space, when I say I'm going to do X, mentally, I know there's a whole lot of people now that are watching to see if I do X or not. Okay, but in personal integrity, if I don't tell anybody, it's up to me. And the problem with me not following through with what I say I wanna do isn't that anyone else will know and that there's judgment or not judgment, but that eats away at my core of I am enough. It eats away at my self-esteem. It eats away at my confidence. It eats away at my belief that I am valuable. Because if I'm not valuable enough to follow through on something that I said is going to do for myself, why would anyone else trust me? I. To do something for them. This is my personal space. Everybody else's might be different, but for me personally, the reason I have to continually work on personal integrity is because when I let that slide I drop back into, I'm not good enough. Uh, imposter syndrome, me type space. That will prevent me then from even setting goals that will put me into a funk to where I just don't do anything. So personal integrity for me isn't just a matter of doing it or not, and keeping myself happy or not happy. it really affects every other core piece of my life. So I have to stay attentive. To my personal integrity for all of the other self, whatever, self-confidence, self-esteem, all of those other pieces in my life.

Stephanie:

So you might have already answered part of this, too earlier, would you like to share how you've dealt with failure in the past and how your personal and even public integrity played a role in that?

Chris:

Yeah, absolutely. There's a couple of things. Again, the transparency, like I said earlier, I am not afraid to step up and go, whoops, I screwed up. I made a mistake. Right? I'm okay with stepping up and acknowledging my errors and when I make a mistake, except when it's really, really a personal piece, and I see it as a personal failure. If it's both a public and a private failure of integrity. That's when I have to like work myself up into and practice and role play and do all of the things in a mirror that you do when you get ready for stuff. To acknowledge an error and a mistake. acknowledging an error, even if I have to make some restitution for it, is not hard. But if that also involves letting someone down who I value in my life. That's where it gets really difficult. And so the process I use is I usually just stop. I have to acknowledge to myself that there was an error. I do have to practice and role play. and Zoom is great for that cuz you can get on a Zoom meeting all by yourself. And you can say what you need to say into the camera, turn it off, record it, come back later and watch it and go, oh, no, no, that didn't work. And then you can do it again. Right? I am a huge believer in role playing to make sure that I feel confident in what I'm doing and saying, um, but at the same time, creating a list of action steps even for. Making things right after the fact is a big deal for me. I write stuff down, I practice, I roll play so that when I go to someone I, I can clearly say what I need to say with sincere and integrity. If I go unprepared, I'm usually a slobbering mess. Um, but if I am prepared, I can get out when I need to get out. With sincerity and with the appropriate emotion and not letting one or the other override it. So for me, it's all about preparation of coming clean and then, and then if I have restitution, if I have things I need to do to make it right, it becomes a set of action steps of, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna do this. And again, putting'em out publicly, saying them to someone else means that now they're in the public arena and their action steps that are likely to get done.

Melinda:

I think it's important for people to realize it's okay to step up and say, Hey, I made a mistake. And you know, confess, I find often people are living in fear and don't want to put themselves out there and say, I made a mistake. And really it's just gonna be okay. Just say it. So when you, well first of all, who is your coaching niche? Who do you coach?

Chris:

right now I'm coaching new leaders, so in business opportunities, as people are stepping up into leadership roles for the first time, I have a real passion for helping people move from being a peer to being into a leadership role. So, I'm working a lot with businesses to when they promote someone into a first time leadership role of coaching them into that leadership space. And so going through and helping those people learn the skills that they need, but also the mindset shift to be able to be a good leader in a business situation.

Melinda:

So I'm gonna assume that definitely the accelerator of integrity comes up and you have some tools to teach that this is great integrity all the time. Yeah. How about we are gonna ask all of our coaches on our show some questions similar to the Pist questionnaire, which has its origins in a parlor game, popularized by Marcel Pist. We're not gonna ask you 35 questions, we're only gonna ask you five.

Chris:

Good deal. Um,

Melinda:

it's interesting. Here's a tidbit for you. I was watching equalizer too, cuz my kids have me like tuned into all these action flicks and he's given his guidance to one of the youth that was painting the wall. And then he is reading the book that says Marcel Pist on top of it. So our first Pist question is Tell us something in your life that has grown out of a personal disaster or hardship.

Chris:

first disaster or hardship. I think the best answer I can give you, is that when I was going through that space where my business was in huge trouble and financially, I was literally living string to string. What I learned in that piece is how to manage money. That's when I started really focusing on finance pieces, and that's when I learned the idea of, of only spending so. What you have and planning for future. Before that, I was totally okay using credit for everything. and so I have a new financial outlook on the way we run both our household and my businesses based on that experience. Okay, so the next question

Stephanie:

is, when and where were you the happiest you have ever

Chris:

been? Oh, I am always the happiest when I, uh, have a scuba tank and a wetsuit sitting in the truck getting ready to go into the water. I don't even care which island or which water it is. If I'm getting ready to dive, that's where, that's my happy place. Oh, wow. That is really cool. I did not know that. I scuba dive. I love it. Nice.

Stephanie:

Okay, so what relationship defines love for you? Real or fictional?

Chris:

This is gonna sound so corny, but I have, honestly, I have the best marriage ever. My husband is amazing. He's a saint. He's passionate, he is a provider. He has everything I ever wanted and everybody laughs. But I'm gonna tell you, literally when I was 20, I was 19 years old, actually, I hadn't quite turned 20 yet. I literally saw him across the room at a college party and where I didn't actually say, I'm gonna marry that man. What I did say is, I need to meet that, that I was thinking boys at that point, I was 19. Um, but I'm like, I need to meet that boy. And, um, it was, it was exclusive virtually from day one. And our relationship defines for me what love should be. It's not corny.

Melinda:

So then what person, place, or experience

Chris:

has shaped you the most person, place, or experience? going from being an employee in a company to purchasing that business. Shaped a lot of my values. and that's probably why I chose the niche right now of going from, and helping people become better leaders. Because when I made that transition, that experience of working in the business to owning the business, I had some mentors that taught me business, but I didn't have anybody that was teaching me the mindset and the relationship. Shift pieces. And so I made some big mistakes there. and I think going through that process has shaped me and has allowed me to understand transition better. And I think life is simply a whole series of transitions. And when you learn to transition effectively, you can live life better. And that really rocky, uncomfortable period taught me so much about every other experience in my life. So the

Melinda:

last question we're gonna ask from this questionnaire is, what advice would you give to your younger

Chris:

self? Just do it up, up until the time I was probably 25, 26 years old. I, I really, everything that came at me, I analyzed it. To check and understand the risk before I would do this or where before I would do that at some point along the way. and, and I wish I could remember who told me this cuz I don't even remember who, somebody told me that they will do anything once most things, twice. And the things they enjoy three times. I remember that coming from someone, maybe it was even a movie. I mean, that's how bad it is that I don't even know where I heard that. But I have taken that into my life. And when I started doing anything once, some things twice and the things I really enjoy three times, life has got better. Okay. We are

Stephanie:

also asking all the coaches on our show if they have taken an Enneagram test. And for anyone out there unfamiliar, the Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. So, Chris, have you taken the Enneagram test? And if so, what's your number?

Chris:

I did and I took it for you guys. So I'm completely a newbie at this and I was the number eight. Eight.

Stephanie:

That is the Challenger. Would you like to discuss your results or, I also have, that information up if you want me to share it.

Chris:

you can share it. I basically, as I was going through very little of it was a surprise to me. however, you know, Personality tests and assessments are always enlightening cuz there's always things here or there that like jump out. I would not have put as much emphasis without this on where it talks about the strength of an eight. but it talked a lot about strength in all of the different paragraphs, and that was a surprise because we're, you know, leadership and risk taking. Those things I get about myself, but I wouldn't always say that I'm strong, but, but Enneagram number eight said that I was.

Stephanie:

Yeah. We only discussed the strengths. We don't get into the challenges of your number. Um, so I have here the strengths of the eight. They are people with high levels of energy, intensity, and willpower. They project power and toughness and take challenges as an invitation to prove their strength. They don't back down easily. They care about truth and justice and are willing to protect the weak. Eights are confident in their decision-making skills and have a charismatic knack for leadership. They don't worry about what other people think of them because they are fearless and inspire others to overcome their own fears. So, Do you think that sounds like

Chris:

you? Yeah, I do. I think that sounds like a

Stephanie:

master coach.

Chris:

It pretty much nailed it. Yeah. Pretty much nailed it.

Melinda:

So do you have a quote or a motto that you value

Chris:

and live by? I do. And I, have recently put it on the bottom of many of my emails. And that is, today you can live and be ridiculously amazing.

Stephanie:

I'm gonna check your email next time I get one from you.

Chris:

That's a good one. Yeah, I just, I just put it on the bottom of them, about a week ago. Cool. Well,

Stephanie:

this has been fantastic and we can't thank you enough for joining us today. Is there anything else that we haven't asked you today that you'd like to add?

Chris:

You know, the only thing I wanna add is, is as we talk about Oola, I think sometimes people get stuck in the idea that Oola has to be a total life transformation. And I want people to know that if you are not ready to take on the challenge of a total life transformation, like you're probably hearing a lot of coaches talk about it's okay to jump into Oola and only do one thing. It's okay to start experiencing Oola one piece at a time, because that's how a lot of people move their life. And if that's who you are, pick one and just do a little, because Oola can be a little, or Oola can be a lot.

Stephanie:

Yeah, I totally agree with that. It could be just a little shift in what you're doing or you can just go all in. Right. Well, I do, I actually have one last question for you. What advice would you give to our listeners who are struggling with integrity in their own lives? Mm.

Chris:

I think the first thing is to go sit in front of a mirror or sit in front of a zoom call where you're looking at yourself, and just start acknowledging what your why is because when you know what your purpose in life is. Finding integrity to get there is easier. if you don't understand why you want to do things and what you are living for, it's easy to not care whether or not you have integrity. So I encourage everybody to find your purpose in life, whether it's to be a great mom, whether it's to be a fantastic employee, whether it's to climb Mount Everest, whether it's to take every risk. whatever your passion and your why is when you can truly find that in your heart, all the other pieces, specifically integrity, can come into line. That is great advice and. We know a lot of Oola coaches, they can help you find that purpose. Go find one.

Stephanie:
