About Guest Donna Karlin
World-renowned leadership coach, author, and podcast host Donna Karlin understands better than anyone what it means to live with no limitations. This philosophy is at the center of her No Ceiling Just Sky™ Institute. Donna teaches others how to remove mental roadblocks from their daily lives and embodies this strength and spirit herself as a two-time cancer survivor.
Understand You Have the Freedom to Improve Your Life
Many people tend to shut down when they face a string of failures. In Donna's 40 years of coaching experience, she finds that success can be just as paralyzing. Say you earn a promotion and don't think you can climb any higher at work. You may stop striving for success at this point.
However, living with no ceiling holding you back means you should always look for ways to improve. The key is always having a sense of curiosity and remembering that you have something to contribute to the world daily.
Avoid Comparing Yourself to Others
If you're familiar with the phrase "comparison is the thief of joy," you'll find it's especially prevalent regarding the no-ceiling approach. Donna explains that for this approach to be practical at work and home, you must avoid comparing yourself to others. She uses her cancer battle as an example.
If someone were to look at Donna's experiences and marvel at her strength while tearing themselves down, there would be no positive outcome. This is because we all have different experiences that no one fully understands. Donna urges listeners to compare who they are today to who they were yesterday and continuously try to improve.
This doesn't mean you can't lean on others. The following tactics can help you get past any of life's obstacles:
Reach out to loved ones you trust when you're going through a hard time.
Form a support system with clear communication about your problem.
Tell them what you're going through and what you need.
Having others observe what you're going through and be a sounding board is an excellent way to get through tough periods.

The G.R.I.P. Method
G.R.I.P. stands for "Greatness Requires Intention & Purpose," and many who have followed this method can attest to that. This strategy helps people find their goals, inspirations, and visions and execute them with clear intentions through planning, purpose, and integrity. It works with science and psychology to make dreams a reality.
It is a roadmap that guides you through struggles and hardships, with the final destination being the life you want to lead or the changes you wish to make. The G.R.I.P. Method offers a plan to go from fear to freedom and helps you break away from where past attempts did not work.
