We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Lindsay Cooley a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Lindsay, so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
I believe that my initial optimism came from my amazing, supportive parents. For as long as I can remember they have always pushed me to go for my dreams and have supported every one of them, big and small.
As humans in general we tend to focus and remember the bad, over the good.
I always say that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel no matter what and that even on our worst day there is someone out there that wishes they were in your shoes.
I’ve learned that having Faith in myself, humanity and a higher power has really helped every situation I’ve ever had to overcome as well. We HAVE to have faith that it will always work out and that the Universe is working in our favor, even if we can’t see it at the time.
Writing a gratitude list also helps. It doesn’t matter if you’re grateful for the cup of coffee you had in the morning, the roof over your head, the ability to read and write or that you are wearing your favorite color lipstick… big or small, it’s having gratitude in general that has really helped me get over hurdles and get through to that light at the end of every tunnel!
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’m Lindsay Cooley, founder of Cooley Management and Personal Motivational & Manifesting Consultant.
Cooley Management is a company that represents talent who strive on individuality and expressing themselves in the best light.
Coming from a background of 12 years representing talent, I’ve worked with many individuals who pride themselves on outward beauty first and foremost. When I started my own company, I decided to do things my way. I represent individuals who have unconventional beauty both inside and out & whom I feel are contributing to our community in one way or another.
Our talent are all ages and sizes & are more than just a “pretty face”. All represented talent are actual role models to the community and have numerous talents from being professional skateboarders, dancers, authors to scuba divers and non- profit company owners!
In addition to representing talent for Advertising purposes I also teach each talent how to hone into their own power of manifestation and power of intention in their professional and personal lives.
For individuals that I don’t represent at Cooley Management I also have a motivational consulting company for those looking to manifest the lives of their dreams and overcome personal obstacles.
I strive on helping people realize their personal potential and live the lives they’ve always imagined!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Self Confidence Intuitiveness
Writing/Public Speaking
Advice for the future is to BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOURSELF! Don’t look at others for approval. As long as you’re not doing something that is hurting anyone else, you’re doing nothing wrong.
To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?
The most impactful thing that my parents did for me was give me self-esteem from the day I was born.
Once you realize your personal self-esteem you become unstoppable to the world!
