Meet Rynette Upson-Bush

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Rynette Upson-Bush. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Rynette below.

Hi Rynette, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
As a child I felt like I was silenced and went unnoticed and overlooked.. I always felt as if I wasn’t good enough but I knew there had to be more in life for me than my current reality. . At some point in my life I knew I needed to stand up for myself and fight for what I wanted. I ended up getting around a group of ladies that had a different mindset than I was used to. It was that positive growth mindset. I started to feed myself with more positivity and belief that I could have what I want I could live the life I wanted. I really started the inner work journey after meeting these ladies. Little did I know that the inner work would really come into play as I started my entrepreneurship journey. Everything I tried to do to get a building for my business fell through but there was no giving up. I had done the work so I knew I had to show up to go up. The prayer patience and persistence made the entrepreneurial journey possible. Little did I know after going through that journey I would end up in other situations that kept me fighting to keep going. One of the toughest situations in my life was losing my 6 year old grandson and my dad. In the last 3 years 21 people who I knew died. It took a lot to move through that but again prayer patience and persistence kept me getting back up.. I went through grief recovery as well and when I say the last three years have been fought but I made it. I had to make a decision to show up for me. When you show up you go up!

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 Discipline/Focus – you must keep your eye on the prize and not caught up in distractions negativity or doubt

Know Craft /Be and expert in your area Doing the work sharpening and honing your skills

Confidence people may not realize confidence is a skill it’s an art that you need to master

My best advice … Very important to find someone who has walked the path you need a good coach and or mentor. You dont know everything.. I would further say keep a coach. Coaching moves the needle and grows you.

Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
My ideal client is that professional woman who high achieving and knows there is more a bigger dream a next level but is scared to step out and visible. She helped everyone else but knows it time to help herself and needs a coach that will guide and coach her to show up for her life ad next level. She is smart talented and always looks good but on the inside she crying and not living her truth or her purpose.
