<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode, we talk about Mark recently turning 60, the fallacy of multi-passionate creatives, and what success really means. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But our primary focus is Mark's signature approach to productivity, his &lt;i&gt;Only 10s&lt;/i&gt; framework. He jokes that if you were to show him your to-do list, it would be like reading tarot cards. He would be able to tell you in an instant what you value, what you like and dislike, and what you're afraid of doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Show notes, links, and watch the interview on video at &lt;a href="https://darrenstehle.substack.com/p/mark-j-silverman-interview" target="_blank"&gt;Queering Self-Mastery with Darren Stehle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you’re a creative change-maker who is struggling to make an impact and create a successful business that you love, let’s meet for a free a &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="https://darrenstehle.com/coaching/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;i&gt;discovery coaching session&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;.

Interview with Mark J Silverman: Executive Coach, Speaker, Podcaster, and Best-Selling Author

<description>&lt;p&gt;Many people think that you need to come out to be your "authentic self."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What does "being authentic" really mean?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How is that advice helpful if you're in the closet and have been struggling to come out for years?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What if you've been married for decades and are afraid about who you might hurt and what you might lose?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're in the closet and thinking about coming out, or if you know of someone who's struggling, this episode is about getting clear about your emotional reasons for coming out, and how you can prepare to be as ready — for when it feels "right" for you to come out and freely create a life you love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As mentioned in the episode, if you want to talk with someone about how to come out, or if you're dealing with shame around your gender or sexual identity, &lt;a href="https://darrenstehle.as.me/discovery" target="_blank"&gt;let's meet for a private conversation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
