Mindset

Last month, I was a featured guest on another successful podcast, Making Waves at C-Level, with host, Thom Singer.

This podcast is “designed to help people get “unstuck” in their careers and who are seeking ideas around leadership”.  It provides the opportunity for listeners to learn from “people who are living their dreams”.

My interview was episode 679! I tell you this because this show has been around awhile and Thom has interviewed hundreds of career experts, resulting in an abundance of useful information. I encourage you to follow the show.

The discussion Thom and I had on his podcast was centered around “Mindset”. We discussed how our mindset can keep us stuck, or propel us toward our goal. A fixed mindset is one that is set in a pattern of thought that continues to yield unfavorable outcomes. A growth mindset is one that is open to changing old paradigms and thought processes in order to see new growth and opportunity.

Among other tidbits, I offered 3 steps to changing your mindset.

1. Pay attention to your thoughts. What are you telling yourself? Is it true? Thoughts can mislead us.
2. Look at other options. Even if you are SURE your way is the ONLY way, poke around and see what others in your situation are doing that is working. Give it a try.
3. Take action. When negative thoughts begin to invade your mind, get rid of them! Use my cancelling technique. Tell yourself, “Cancel, Cancel, that’s not the truth! The truth is, I CAN do this. I have what it takes!”

I hope you will listen to the episode and like and follow the podcast. As always, for personal assistance creating your new mindset or with other career or personal challenges, I am happy to help.

Oh, one more thing. Please share this episode with others for a happier, brighter world.

Thanks!
