Have you ever wondered how your family's history, secrets, or unspoken experiences might shape who you are today? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by Michelle Scheibner, a thought leader in Personal Brand Strategy and author of Hush, a memoir that explores the intersection of history, culture, beliefs, and genetics to uncover the truth of where our personal identity begins. Michelle has spent over 30 years working with executives, C-suite leaders, and business owners, and she now focuses on how family history and genetics influence our life choices and identity. Michelle's career journey took her from education to leadership roles at AMEX UK, where she honed her business development skills. But in recent years, Michelle shifted her focus toward exploring the deep connection between personal identity, family history, and genetics. Her research reveals how our family systems, history, culture, and beliefs shape our identities, often in ways we don't fully realise. In this episode, we'll discuss how your personal brand is not just about your career, but about finding and understanding your essence. Michelle shares how grief can trigger questions about identity, the pivotal role mothers play in shaping our lives, and what epigenetics can teach us about how family influences us. We also explore the importance of understanding your past to unlock your potential for the future. Key Episode Takeaways: Personal brand is about finding your essence – Your personal brand, whether for career or personal growth, is a reflection of who you are, not just what you do. Cultivating it starts with understanding yourself at a deeper level. Grief can trigger unanswered questions – Grieving not just losses but also unresolved questions about your life's path can unlock your true identity. Epigenetics and the role of family in shaping personal identity – Our genetics and family systems influence not only our decisions and life choices but also our personal identity. Understanding the pivotal role of mothers as our first relationship can reveal the deep impact they have on how we view ourselves and how we show up in the world. The importance of understanding your past for your present and future – Investing in understanding your past allows you to use that knowledge to shape your future. As someone who's navigated my own journey of understanding identity and the impact of family history—especially through my travels to the UK and Netherlands, where I have heritage—I deeply relate to Michelle's work. Her insights are eye-opening and will challenge how you view your personal growth and future possibilities. About the Guest: Michelle's commitment to bringing the most current thought leadership to Personal Brand Strategy, led her to an enquiry into the ways family secrets and silence, intergenerational pain and genetics impacts our life choices and personal identity. Michelle's career began in education before heading to England where she cut her business teeth at the headquarters of AMEX UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Having held management and leadership positions in education, consulting and business development Michelle has spent the last 30 years working with executives including C-Suite, business leaders and high potentials. Michelle has spent the last four years researching and exploring the proposition that we come into the world with a genetic blueprint integral to the system of our family of origin, which ultimately can impact the decisions and choices we make in life. Her story illustrates the intersection of history, culture, beliefs and genetics to reveal where true identity resides. She has a published TEDx Talk on the validity of personal identity labels.

Have you ever followed a nudge that completely changed the course of your life? In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm sharing the inspiring story of Aviv Palti, the CEO of Lifestyle Brands, co-founder of the Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST), and author of Empowered. Aviv and his family have had a profound impact on countless lives in Cambodia, empowering students and families to break the cycle of poverty through education. Back in 2009, Aviv's daughter was denied a life-changing school trip to Cambodia to volunteer with disadvantaged rural families. Instead of letting that opportunity slip away, Aviv and his family embraced the chance to travel to Cambodia together, volunteering to teach English at a rural school in Siem Reap province. Those two weeks would change not only their lives but the lives of thousands of rural Cambodian students and their families. Many of their students were the children of survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime and the subsequent civil war. While their parents were illiterate, they understood the incredible value of education. This experience inspired Aviv and his family to return to Cambodia several more times, eventually founding the Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST) in 2011. The trust was built on three pillars: Education, Empowerment, and Inspiration, with the goal of sustainably breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a ripple effect that continues to impact thousands of lives in Cambodia. Aviv is also the author of Empowered: A New Generation of Leaders, which tells the inspirational story of rural youth in Cambodia who empowered themselves and their families to rise from poverty to the middle class in just eight years. Key Episode Takeaways: The power of embracing unexpected opportunities when Aviv and his family decided to volunteer in Cambodia ultimately leading to the founding of CRST. The history and resilience of Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge regime and the civil war, and how education has become a vital tool for healing and empowerment. The CRST three pillars of Education, Empowerment, and Inspiration are helping break the cycle of poverty and creating a lasting ripple effect. The 5 steps to creating lasting impact - dream big, plan, act, correct, and continue—key steps for anyone starting an impactful project.
