Susan Cain, author of the groundbreaking bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, shares a guide for how introverts can thrive in the workplace without sacrificing their authentic selves. Drawing from her extensive research and personal experience, Cain offers a powerful reframing: success doesn't require becoming more extroverted—it demands becoming more fully yourself.—What you'll learn:1. A simple definition of introversion and how it differs from shyness—plus a simple two-question test to determine where you fall on the spectrum2. Five practical tactics introverts can use to be more successful in business while staying true to their natural temperament3. How to handle challenging workplace scenarios like meetings dominated by loud voices and networking events that drain your energy4. Specific strategies for managers and founders to create environments where introverted team members can contribute their best work5. Practical techniques for saying no to energy-draining commitments6. Strategies for managers to better support and leverage introverted team members7. Practical advice for raising introverted children to help them develop confidence while honoring their natural temperament8. Why seeking to become “more extroverted” is the wrong goal—and what to focus on instead to achieve professional success—Brought to you by:• Enterpret—Transform customer feedback into product growth• Vanta—Automate compliance.

About The Episode:In this episode, we're joined by entrepreneur and content creation expert Will Nelson, as he shares his insights and practical advice for capturing and converting ideas into engaging content. Tap into the mindset, strategies, and routines that fuel Will's success in the high-stakes world of professional and personal branded content.Today, we'll cover:- Will's personal strategies for finding inspiration in everyday moments and staying productive without the pressure.- Practical tips for time management and creativity, including how to align content creation with your natural workflow.- The common pitfalls that new content creators face and how to avoid them for long-term success.- Insight into Will's journey from building to selling businesses and how these experiences now shape his approach to content for professional brands.- Strategies for content creation and monetization tailored to your personal or business goals, and the secret of providing value first.What You'll Learn1. Inspiration for content creation2. Timing content with creativity peaks3. Documenting and sharing content strategies4. Personal branding and online presence5. Consistency in content production6. Monetization of content creation7. ROI and investment in contentTimestamps00:00 Marketer turned entrepreneur, building 64 Stories agency.05:56 Start creating content, grow, adapt, find voice.09:52 Social media strategy depends on your goals.13:55 Analyze top social media content for inspiration.16:16 SEO results take time, require commitment.19:46 Prioritize time for content creation and analytics.21:49 Transform voice notes into engaging social media.28:26 Capture and document content to avoid loss.29:18 Various activities inspire creativity at different times.32:55 Dedicated sessions help foster creativity and focus.36:14 Greg's content praised, audience directed to socials. Entrepreneurship and Content Creation: "I've always been an entrepreneur that has struggled with distribution myself. I identify as a builder. I love building things. I've never been fantastic at getting attention for either my personal brand or for my businesses without having to pay for that attention through Facebook ads or more traditional media."— Will Nelson [00:02:37 → 00:02:58]The Evolution of Personal Branding: "It might take longer to build a personal brand, but it's something that you can come back to. It's an asset that will keep paying you dividends long term versus having to constantly rent."— Will Nelson [00:05:33 → 00:05:44]Content Creation Process: "So I was talking to Dave Gerhardt the other day from exit five, and he has a notion page that he just jots down ideas into on a daily basis and then circles back to those to see if he can create any piece of content from. So whenever an idea pops into his head, he's putting it down somewhere."— Will Nelson [00:07:13 → 00:07:30]Social Media Strategy for Creators and Businesses: "I think in general, though, on social, you should have the mindset of just giving away as much as you can for free, and then very infrequently asking for something in return. So just like going to the ATM, you need to first put money in the bank account to take money out. For business owners, I typically recommend ten to 20% for top of the funnel content, 60% to 70% for middle of the funnel content and then ten to 20 for bottom of funnel content."— Will Nelson [00:10:12 → 00:10:45]Content Strategy Insights: "So I have a full time analyst that will go to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and start to mine the top performing content in a given month to get a sense of what hooks are performing, what style of content's performing, what types of edits."— Will Nelson [00:13:55 → 00:14:13]Understanding ROI in Content Marketing: "It probably takes, realistically, three plus, maybe six plus months to start to see an ROI. And so you're losing money or you're investing money into something without seeing a return for a little while, and that can sting."— Will Nelson [00:16:20 → 00:16:35]Content Creation Efficiency: "So take the inputs that you're giving your voice notes or whatever app you're using to log those insights and then chop that up into written content or video content if you're recording that, and then actually post it to the various social channels that you want to get on."— Will Nelson [00:21:49 → 00:22:19]Content Marketing Persistence: "A lot of the big accounts that are on X or LinkedIn have been at it for quite some time, so it's a lot of just stick tuitiveness."— Will Nelson [00:23:40 → 00:24:37]Creative Inspiration for New Podcasters: "I'm just stealing or getting inspiration from content that I know has performed well in the past or has been thought of by an expert podcaster."— Will Nelson [00:27:18 → 00:27:29]Creativity and Flow State: "And so I think you have to allocate enough time to get into that flow state, and you have to make it a practice, whether it's daily or weekly."— Will Nelson [00:33:28 → 00:33:38]Shownotes powered by Castmagic--Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicWill Nelson - Founder and CEO of 64stories

July 24, 2022Talk Title:  Let Creativity Flow!Creativity opens us up to the Divine flow which frees us from the mundane to court the Sacred. Our imagination is free to do whatever it wants. So let's set it free; allow this creative power to flow through us unimpeded to deepen our connection to our body, our higher self, to each other, to intuition, and to Spirit.Ernest Holmes says, “You have as much creative power as you allow to flow through you.”Let it flow!!Speaker: Rev. Andrea Weatherhead

One of the most difficult things for us to do as writers is get into a state of creative flow. Yet, it's also one of the most important things we can do. Without a state of flow, it is hard to make meaningful progress in our writing. We constantly have to deal with fits and starts, instead of enjoying steady progress. My guest today is the amazing Ken Carfagno. Ken is a successful cleaning business owner, and is the host of the Smart Cleaning School Podcast, which helps cleaning business owners take their business to the next level. Ken is also the author of the fantastic young adult novel, Arctic Land. Ken wrote this book a few years ago for his kids, and he is working on a sequel. I asked Ken to share his process for writing this book. In this conversation, you will learn a lot about great habits. This is almost like a masterclass in using great habits to start—and FINISH—a book project. I took a bunch of notes from this conversation, and I know you will, too!

Ken is a successful cleaning business owner, and is the host of the Smart Cleaning School Podcast, which helps cleaning business owners take their business to the next level. Ken is also the author of the fantastic young adult novel, Arctic Land. Ken wrote this book a few years ago for his kids, and he is working on a sequel. I asked Ken to share his process for writing this book. In this conversation, you will learn a lot about great habits. This is almost like a masterclass in using great habits to start—and FINISH—a book project. I took a bunch of notes from this conversation, and I know you will, too!

That's a wrap! Yes, Season One of Crystal Uncorked has come to an end. As you know, I have a lot of transitions in my life right now. We just moved to Colorado, we're temporarily living in an AirBnB, and I am still figuring out what this new environment means to me. Coming from California to Colorado, I can finally feel winter like a real season. Something about this cold season is calling me into hibernation. I am feeling very pulled to turn inward and reflect on myself right now. I've always been super open about the importance of doing what feels right for you, and for me what feels right is to pause. Not stop. Not end. Just pause.If I were to keep going at this time, I would be pushing myself against the direction my heart is calling. I don't want to push. I want to be pulled and I want to listen. So for now I am taking this time to explore some things I am excited about personally, have some adventures, and just slow down as I settle into life in Colorado after living away from my family for 11 years.So what's next? Crystal Uncorked, Season Two will be out in 2022. Stay tuned for amazing guests, virtual events,  my home studio, and so much more. I may be taking a pause, but you can still find me online and on Instagram, so follow along or join our email list to stay connected.I'll see you in 2022, well-rested, energized, and better than ever!What's Inside:Season One has come to an end.What will Crystal be up to during the break?What does the end of the season mean for Crystal Uncorked?What to expect for Season Two, Crystal Uncorked.Mentioned In This Episode:Connect with CrystalCrystal on YouTubeCrystal on InstagramCrystal on FacebookCrystal on TikTok

Have you ever been “in the zone”, the highly focused mental state conducive to optimal creativity and productivity? In positive psychology, this is known as the Flow state, the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process. Coined by Hungarian American Psychologist and author Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (you'll have to listen to know how it's pronounced!) flow is, at its core, about achieving happiness, joy, purpose, and optimal performance. A lot of people say that the purpose of life is to be happy. I'm not so sure. I challenge this thinking in this episode arguing that maybe the purpose OF life is to find purpose IN life. This episode explores how that flow state is note bestowed, rather, it can be developed. This week's episode focuses on how we can learn to achieve flow in our lives. The key aspect to flow is control: in the flow-like state, we exercise control over the contents of our consciousness rather than allowing ourselves to be passively determined by external forces. “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1990). It's not necessary to wait for lightning (or your flow state) to strike. If we understand the benefits and outcomes of flow and reinforce the habits and circumstances that can cultivate flow, we can continue to cultivate joy and accomplish worthwhile things.

Space on the calendar that is marked as "Podcast recording." Notebook with bullet-pointed ideas for topics. Blinking record button. And blank space in my mind. Not a single coherent sentence. Now what? It got me thinking... How often do we take ourselves out of the game, joy, flow of creativity because we are just so focused on all that we "should" be doing? Or how it "should" be done? And also, what happens when the weight and the pressure of those expectations are just too great? Can we back out? Rethink? At what cost? Welcome to join me in today's contemplation...

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of taking a quote that captures your imagination and thinking deeply about what it means. In today’s episode of Getting Work To Work, I’m going to explore a quote from physicist Freeman Dyson that I read in Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book, Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention. If you […]

The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) reinforces the idea that we are all naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. And YOU are, just as you are!! On today's wise walk, we are slowing down and considering ways to nurture our creative genius, imagination, and ideas. We also invite you to consider participating in the 100-Day Project to let your creative imagination and ideas flow.  As we stride together, the questions on our mind are: What creative talent do you want to exercise? Is there something new you are interested in? Will you carve out time to let your creative gifts soar? Remember, your brain incorporates creativity in almost everything you do. Michael Bierut, an acclaimed graphic designer, and author created the 100-Day Project  in 2007 as a workshop for the graduate graphic design students at the Yale School of Art. Lindsay Jean Thomson now facilitates the100dayproject.org, which in 2021 takes place January 31 - May 10. You can find additional information at @lindsayjeanthomson or #the100dayproject.  If the 100-Day Project resonates with your heart, I would love for you to join me, other Striders, and the thousands of others who are taking part around the world. There are no rules, so you do you, and even if you don't take part, please follow to cheer us on.  Would you like some interesting ideas on things you can do? Check out Liz Young on Stacy Julian’s podcast Exactly Enough Time and see her approach to managing her photos or if mosaic stepping stones are more your thing, follow Leigh Farrow @LPFarrow or #PiecefulPath. No matter what you choose to do, remember to document your adventure and put it in your Value Vault, you deserve this investment in yourself, your creativity and the artist within you.    In this episode: [00:09] Welcome to the show! [02:36] Our brains incorporate creativity into almost everything we do. [04:31] Today, we will slow down and discuss ways to nurture our creative genius. [04:47] What creative talent do you want to exercise and make stronger? [04:56] Is there something new that you are interested in or want to learn? [05:03] And how will you carve out time to make space for your creative gifts and abilities to flourish? [06:00] Listen as I discuss what the 100-day Project is. [09:11] What do you want to get out of the 100 days, and why is it important to you? [11:35] You can pick something simple and repetitive, or something that is meaningful to you and sustainable.

www.kaiehnes.com Ep17 So that's Creativity...Who Knew Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast. My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question of What actually is Creativity? What is creativity? Imagine the following: At a certain point there is pretty much nothing but then out of the blue there is an onslaught of ideas. According to Richard Foster, lecturer in management at Yale, that moment is creative insight. But what he found more important are the traits, the knowledge and ways of thinking that lead up to this moment. He says creativity is about making something new, rather than merely applying or discovering something new. Creative solutions are insightful, they're novel, they're simple, they're elegant, and they're generative. A key to being creative, says Foster, is the ability to find associations between different fields of knowledge. This process requires people with curiosity, energy, and the openness to see connections where others cannot.   Next comes some answers to what creativity is, by Robert Franken in his book Human Motivation. Creativity is the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities. Tests of creativity measure not only the number of alternatives that people can generate but the uniqueness of those alternatives. the ability to generate alternatives or to see things uniquely does not occur by change; it is linked to other, more fundamental qualities of thinking, such as flexibility, tolerance of ambiguity or unpredictability, and the enjoyment of things unknown. One of my personal favorites, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in his work: Creativity - Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention. He describes creative people in the following ways: 1. Persons who express unusual thoughts, who are interesting and stimulating - in short, people who appear to be unusually bright. 2. People who experience the world in novel and original ways. These are (personally creative) individuals whose perceptions are fresh, whose judgements are insightful, who may make important discoveries that only they know about. 3. Individuals who have changed our culture in some important way.   He continues with Characteristics of the creative personality: 1. Creative individuals have a great deal of energy, but they are also often quiet and at rest. 2. Creative individuals tend to be smart, yet also naive at the same time. 3. Creative individuals have a combination of playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility. 4. Creative individuals alternate between imagination and fantasy ant one end, and rooted sense of reality at the other. 5. Creative people seem to harbor opposite tendencies on the continuum between extroversion and introversion. 6. Creative individuals are also remarkable humble and proud at the same time. 7. Creative individuals to a certain extent escape rigid gender role stereotyping and have a tendency toward androgyny. 8. Generally, creative people are thought to be rebellious and independent. 9. Most creative persons are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well. 10. The openness and sensitivity of creative individuals often exposes them to suffering pain yet also a great deal of enjoyment. When Does Creativity Happen?   The late Maya Angelou also suggested that thinking creativity helps foster even greater creativity: Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You can't use up creativity. The more you use it, the...

Lately my mornings have been preoccupied by writing my Morning Pages, so I have neglected the podcast somewhat, but I begin this episode by talking about my new creative outlet. After that - it's all gardening! Last weekend my dad brought the tiller down to me and I began a massive overhaul of the garden that involved moving all 250+ Root Pouches out of the garden, dumping the busted pots, removing old ground cover, tilling the soil, re-grading, and finally re-covering the garden with 3 ounce woven ground cover fabric. This will serve as a weed barrier that should last 5-7 years, plus it gives the garden a beautiful, clean aesthetic that has been lacking for quite some time. Best of all - no more weeding. I finish up the episode talking about the plants that I just transplanted yesterday, March 28th. Those included: lettuce, spinach, arugula, broccoli, & green onions. Although I'm in growing zone 6, and could get frosts up until May 15th, I'm taking my chances with the mild spring - plus these crops are all very cold hardy - and if all else fails, I've got frost blankets as a backup! Let me know if you have any questions or anything I can do to help with you gardening season this year!

Jeg følger tråden fra forrige episode og vil nok en gang snakke om kreativitet. Denne gangen vil jeg innlede med en oppsummering av boken til Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi fra 1996. Den heter «Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention». Spørsmålet er hva som kjennetegner kreative mennesker. En ting jeg kan røpe allerede nå, er at «flyt» og kreativitet ikke kommer av seg selv, men som følge av iherdig innsats og entusiasme. De kreative menneskene er ikke en egen elite, men et potensial som ligger i de fleste av oss. Og da kommer det enda viktigere spørsmålet: Hva skal til for å bli kreativ?Dagens episode innledes altså med en oppsummering av boken til Csikszentmihalyi. Deretter skal du få høre et lite utklipp fra et foredrag jeg holdt i november 2018 på Kristiansand Katedralskole. Her er ikke tema kreativitet, men evnen til å tenke og reflektere rundt sitt eget indre liv. I forrige episode laget jeg en link mellom mental fleksibilitet og psykisk helse, og på slutten av dagens episode skal vi se litt mer på dette med et par konkrete eksempler fra rock´n roll. Jeg mener jo at både filosofi, psykologi, selvransakelse og innsikt i tankefeller, følelsesmessige feilkoblinger og stand up komikk er ulike verktøy brukt av fleksible hjerner. Akkurat hvilken sammenheng det er mellom disse elementene og mentale disiplinene, er fortsatt litt uklart for meg, men i dagens episode fortsetter jeg på jakten etter perspektiver på menneskets indre liv - Med andre ord: Bedre SinnSyn.Bli medlem av SinnSyns Mentale HelsestudioDitt bidrag kan øke kvaliteten på WebPsykologen og SinnSyn.Ved å støtte prosjektet, får du mange fordeler!

If your internal critic and busy schedule keep you from the creative pursuits you enjoy, this interview—and a new book by actress Keiko Agena—are for you. Keiko, best known as Lane Kim on the TV show Gilmore Girls, wrote and illustrated No Mistakes: A Perfect Workbook for Imperfect Artists, for anyone looking to nuture their “wild, wacky” and more spirited side. In No Mistakes, interspersed with coloring pages and her original artwork, Keiko guides you through simple exercises based on one of the founding ideas of improv: Any misstep is an opportunity for growth and creativity.

Here are some topics we go over in this week's episode.  Check out the full notes Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: I finished reading Flow a couple weeks ago and thought it'd be good to pick up Csikszentmihalyi's other book. Speaking of… Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (also) by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Great book. It's from 1990 and things have probably gotten worse as far as distractions go. Deliberate practice: If you rolled your eyes hearing the phrase deliberate practice again, you're exactly the audience we're looking for. At least if you're anything like me. I can't get enough of this echo chamber! 5 Whys and 5 Hows: Judging by the results when I searched for 5 Hows, it's not exactly an original idea. That's fine.

I've been thinking a lot about letting go. See, in my life, I notice themes. Some themes take longer than others to let go of. Lately, I've been feeling like I haven't been creating from within. I've had to learn that creativity isn't a structured process – it's why I get skeptical around"professional" creative courses – WHY should someone TELL me how ot be creative?!If you're really caught up in what makes success, if you're really caught p in what you think you need to do to generate cashflow, and if it's from a place of fear – HOW WILL YOU LET CREATIVITY FLOW? For me, if I'm not regularly creating new stuff, it impacts EVERYTHING I do. I turn into a grumpy bitch if I don't create. EXERCISE: if you're not feeling like yourself, let go. Clear your schedule. Let go of the feeling that you HAVE to do something. For the next few days, give yourself permission to have space for whatever comes up. For anything. Go for a walk. Journal. Meditate. If you allow yourself to just be – what will need to come up, will. Creativity is magical. Magic can't be created by following a list.Don't miss out on more butt-kickin' and truth from Kat!

This past weekend, the EthicsTalk crew attended and presented at a conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The experience was incredible and transformational. The conference, entitled, Educating for Personal & Social Responsibility, was sponsored by the Association of American Colleges & Universities where hundreds of university faculty, administrators and students shared ideas about the university’s role in cultivating character and promoting moral development. We discuss our presentation and how and why preparing and presenting at this conference transformed our ideas and relationship with each other. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s views on creativity, expressed in Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention, will ground our discussion and we will discuss how Csikszentmihalyi’s views on creativity are applicable to both the creation of the Self and the ecology by which the Self is nurtured. Csikszentmihalyi makes the point that removing oneself from the usual surroundings in which one practices the daily rituals responsible for creativity, and placing oneself in a different environment, infuses and strengthens creativity. We discuss how this point is no less true for the Self and the community by which one is nurtured.
