Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Haley Poinsette. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Haley, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
I would say that much of my foundation of confidence & self – esteem comes from my environment growing up. My mom curated a space that allowed for me to truly be myself! When I was between the ages of about 5 to 9, I would make home videos of house tours, dance videos, & anything else my little mind wanted to create – she would cheer me on, she would hold the camera, she would just be a support to what made me feel fun & free. I couldn’t comprehend at the time how much that set me up for success as I grew up! While in middle & high school, I developed my confidence/self – esteem through sports. I was a high level gymnast, I feel that the lessons I learned during the moments of trials & the lessons that learned during my triumphs really molded me. During this time, I was put in leadership positions for my teams. I took part in special competitions for athletes who were selected, by best scores. I also went through a college recruiting process that allowed for growth in my self – esteem. When I was applying for schools, teams, and majors – there are many times where I was asked to sit down & speak about myself in a positive light. To put my best foot forward. There were many times that I had to physically write out & read the answers to the questions on these applications, which I feel instilled even more confidence in what I had accomplished thus far in life through school, sports, extra curricular activities, & hobbies.
Currently, I use mental health tools to keep my confidence & self – esteem strong. It’s also important to have great people around you, a good community, & to stay grounded in your personal WHY’S in life!
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
My journey has taken me through various sports and educational experiences, ultimately leading me to where I am today. Post-graduation, my path led me through personal and group training, eventually transitioning into managing health and wellness studios. Now, I run my own business alongside coaching gymnastics, constantly striving to make a positive impact in the Houston Community!
In my current role, I’ve combined my passion for health and wellness with my experience and education. As the founder of Unique Houz LLC, our mission is clear: to cultivate a community environment that unites the Houston community through local health and wellness pop-ups, corporate wellness programs, social media management, and event coordination. Our aim is to foster authentic connections among clients and attendees, promoting a holistic healthy lifestyle that encompasses nutrition, recovery, and injury prevention. Through intentional connections, we empower individuals to embark on a journey towards well-being while simultaneously building meaningful relationships.
My journey, from gymnast to coach to entrepreneur, has been a tapestry woven with determination, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of my passions. I’m excited to continue making an impact and inspiring others to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
It’s a combination of effective communication, unwavering integrity, and a coachable spirit that has propelled me forward, enabling me to positively impact the clients, community, and my business during my journey.
Effective communication is the cornerstone of any successful business and local partnerships. It ensures that messages are clear, reducing misunderstandings and fostering collaboration among those involved. One suggestion for anyone who wants to work on their communication is to add active listening to your daily practice! It’s often considered the best way to ensure effective communication. By genuinely listening to the speaker without interruption, distraction, or preconceived judgments, you can fully understand their message, ask relevant questions, and respond appropriately.
Now, let’s think about business and local partnership integrity with the same mindset. Businesses with integrity are more attractive to both customers and top talent. Consumers are more likely to support and stay loyal to companies that are ethical, while potential employees are drawn to workplaces that uphold strong moral values.
More generalized, businesses with integrity contribute positively to society by promoting fair competition, respecting the environment, and engaging in socially responsible initiatives. They play a vital role in building a sustainable and ethical business ecosystem that benefits communities and the global economy.
And lastly, being coachable is essential in business and in creating partnerships, driving growth through receptive learning and adaptable thinking. It fosters collaboration, effective leadership, and innovation by encouraging open communication and idea sharing. This trait ensures individuals can navigate change and contribute positively to dynamic environments, making it a key asset for success!
