Ever been rejected and felt like the world was ending? I've been there! After a significant job rejection, I figured it was God's way of saying I was meant to go solo. Thus, spurned by rejection, my journey towards launching The Mindsight Academy started. Join me, Maureen Chiana, as I share my experience and the profound lesson that rejection is indeed a gift. Through emotional intelligence, scriptures, and neuro-leadership, we'll unlock the potential in our painful experiences and turn them into catalysts for growth.Did you know that rejection triggers the same responses in our brains as physical pain? It's fascinating and terrifying, but it's not all bleak. The interplay of faith, science, and emotional growth opens up avenues for us to reframe our outlook. Citing scriptural narratives like Joseph's life, this episode explores his transformation from a rejected boy to a revered figure. Don't just listen; join the conversation, leave your feedback, and remember to subscribe for a chance to rethink your perception of rejection. It's more than just a podcast; it's a journey to wisdom, grace, and understanding.Stay Connected with Maureen:  Website: https://www.maureenchiana.comAcademy: https://www.themindsightacademy.com/Mindsight Women's Network: ink - https://bit.ly/3qvAzg1Articles on Brainz: https://bit.ly/brainz-digBook A Consultation: https://calendly.com/maureen-77/30minThank you for tuning in!

As we draw to the end of 2022 and many are beginning to think about new goals, it's essential to pause and self-reflect.It's about learning, looking back on the last year (without bias or regret) to contemplate your behavior and its consequences.You can only be at the "top of your game when you learn how to engage the future from your past experiences.Humans have the propensity to use logic and reason to predict what will happen next based on what has already happened. Self-reflection helps to prevent stress and deal with surprises when our predictions are wrong, or incorrect assumptions are made.Self-reflection provides opportunities for improvement, change, innovation, communication, problem-solving, and patience.Stay Connected with MaureenWebsite: https://www.maureenchiana.comTraining Academy: https://www.themindsightacademy.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenchiana/Articles on Brainz: https://www.brainzmagazine.com/executive-contributor/Maureen-ChianaBook A Consultation: https://calendly.com/maureen-77/30minThanks for listening.
