Meet Jane Applegath | Creative Intelligence Coach & VUCA Certified Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jane Applegath and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jane, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Imagine if we fulfilled our destiny to this one question: “If your life were an Epic story, what would the title be?” My video podcast, the Epic Vision Zone, shares the stories of dreamers and doers who have succeeded so that listeners not only learn, and grow, but they go forth and impact the lives of others. Because knowing that it’s not too late or pie-in-the-sky to live your dream is a life force that up-levels all communities. By providing knowledge, inspiration, and resources, we help foster a community of empowered, innovative individuals committed to positively impacting their businesses, communities, and the world.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Today’s world is and will forever be changing. It’s not something we can stop, so we must learn to adapt to optimize our human potential. So, how do we deal with the chaos, uncertainty, and unpredictability when our humanness craves the familiar in order to keep us safe? That is the question we seek the answers to and where the coaching of VUCA comes in.

VUCA is an acronym for Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Adaptability. Taking a deep dive into neuroscience, psychology, story analysis, and mindset, VUCA provides the proven tools needed to help us make it through life’s most extreme challenges and to achieve focus, effectiveness, resilience, mental health, and happiness amidst the upheavals.

As a certified VUCA MAX coach, I guide women on how to go from “Stuck to Unstoppable” by helping them “Flourish in Their Next Chapter.” I teach women how to reduce stress, envision and map out their future, and increase happiness so that they can be the forgers of their true destinies. Using conscious daily “plus ones” and practice exercises women learn to change their direction, in order to change their destiny.

I’ve amalgamated a career as an award-winning financial advisor, television producer, creative scriptwriter, and yoga instructor into the Epic Vision Zone plus my work as a Creative Intelligence Coach and VUCA MAX Certified Coach. Was it easy getting here, heck no, was it worth it, 100%! We are the creators of our reality. A simple concept but not an easy one to live by. I tell clients, “Life is a practice and every day we practice, the better we get at it.”

I believe that when your thoughts are no longer a record of the past, but a roadmap to the future, then your vision will draw you to it. I help women make their vision greater than their biggest fear so that they can find out what lies on the other side of “Yes!” Because “Epic doesn’t happen when you hold back. It happens when you go all out.” That’s life in the Epic Vision Zone.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My best friend and I would lounge in the lap of luxury at the beautiful Fairmont Scottsdale Hotel. Spa treatments and spa trips would be on the itinerary. We’d indulge in the Hotel restaurants as well as local eateries like North in Kierland Commons, True Foods at Scottsdale Quarter, and a trip to the Olive Mill for a tour and a delicious local meal. Hiking and scenic tour trips to Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tucson, and of course, the Grand Canyon, would all be on the itinerary. Sunset cocktails and dinner on the balcony of the Sanctuary would make a perfect close to the  trip.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Dr. Susan Taffer is not only a good friend but an inspiring expert teacher with a brilliant mind. We share amazing brainstorming sessions, along with support for each other’s projects and dreams. As an Academic Architect and CEO of World Connections Foundation, Susan is a global educator of leadership development, personal empowerment, and more. It’s an honor to know her and call her a friend.

As far as books go, one of my early influencers is Dr. Joe Dispenza and his book, “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself.” His work and book showed me the power of human thought and how we have the resources within us to evolve into greater versions of ourselves.

Two other individuals are acclaimed author/entrepreneur, Mike Schindler, and multi-Emmy award-winning director Chris Nolan, who are the creators of the film IT’S VUCA, and the groundbreaking coaching course, VUCA MAX; a deep dive into discovering the Secret to Living in the 21st Century. The film opens your eyes to what we’re going through, and the course shows you how to overcome uncertainty, improve performance, and master resilience to achieve what most think is impossible. It is because of their work that I now call myself a certified VUCA coach. This is the answer to future leadership, both personal and professional.
