Podcasts about deeper why

Today, will cover a few of the things I learned this week while on this path to being a lifelong learner. Instead of a MASTERCLASS episode, where I break a topic down with a deep dive, I will give the cliff notes, highlights of what I've learned this week and then I'll attach the source from where the content came from in case you wanted to learn more. In this episode we talk about:1. Giving yourself a “license to sin.” In the book “The willpower instinct” by Dr. Kelly McGonigal, she references a common behavior that most of us do where in life we decide that we have been “good” in a certain circumstance, and in turn that gives us permission to be bad.”Dr. McGonigal explores the concept of the "license to sin" and how being good can actually give people permission to behave badly. She explains that when people feel like they have been good and exercised self-control, they feel entitled to indulge in a reward or a treat, even if it is something that goes against their long-term goals or values.2. We then tie that into an interview that neuroscientist Professor Andrew Huberman had on my favorite podcast “The Model Health Show” w/ Shawn Stevenson where they discussed how to achieve the holy grail of Life. And the holy grail of life, is when effort feels good! Now, no one gets to be in this state all the time, but he argues that when we push ourselves physically, we get multiple opportunities to go from the "I don't want to do this,"state, to “I'm going to do this for a purpose of growth, and doing it anyway and the science of benefiting from that mindset.3. We talk about how in order to obtain your goals, it's so important to not look at the surface level of why you're going after that goal… and to take the time to dig into the DEEPER WHY… this begs the question… how do we find our own deeper why. So we are going to figure out how to really find your deeper why by asking the right questions. We are going to do this based on the book by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan titled “The ONE Thing.”Everything in life comes down to the questions we ask. When we ask great questions, we find clarity, direction and momentum in the answers.Of course, the opposite is also true. Ask the wrong questions, and we end up way off course, because if we're asking the wrong questions, there can be no right answers. I think if you use the tools we talk about in this episode, you'll really get a clearer picture as to why you are going after your goals, and with that increased clarity comes incredibly beneficial side effects which will help you toward success. 4. And we will finish the episode by answering a question that I get on a very frequent basis… what should my macro split be when I'm going for my fat loss goals? How many carbs, fats and proteins should I eat? Is it as easy as me giving you a percentage of each one and, that being that?? If you've listened to me for any period of time… I hope you know by now that the answer is definitely not that simple. References:The Model Health Show w/ Shawn StevensonCompilation clip from Professor Andrew Huberman Neuroscientist from StanfordEpisode 659, 23mins in“How building muscle and boosting fitness impacts the rest of your life.”https://open.spotify.com/episode/6jD2xPH6erKJ1sLiDhruBn?si=w8MVCHaRSJy7bJPKyrMSpQProfessor Kelly McGonigal Book“The Willpower Instinct”Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamien_sdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcastYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

“When we serve other people, we get healing. When people find their mark and they find their signature, that's how they create an impact in the world.” -Rachel Best It's easy to think that we do not matter as much. We may feel like we don't have much to offer the world or that our story cannot make that much of a difference. But it's important to remember that we've all been given the chance to be part of something amazing—to help other people change their lives for the better. We just need to find our unique signature and start using it! In this episode, Daniel sits with coach, speaker, and author, Rachel Best. When given the opportunity to affect change, Rachel immediately responded, “Yes!”. And with that opportunity, she was able to help other people and herself to heal and live their purpose.     Listen in as Daniel and Rachel share how we can find our signature and make our mark on the world, which is also the title of her book and podcast (COMING SOON!). As a weight loss coach, Rachel also shares tips on how to get started with our weight loss journey, the challenges we may encounter after we've lost weight, and how we can delete old thought processes and find a new soundtrack.    Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:36 I Said, “Yes!”  07:19 The Deeper Why of Weight Loss 10:06 Post Weight Loss Struggles 15:37 Delete Old Thought Processes 19:39 Make Your Mark in the World 23:19 Your Story Matters 

This is part I of a 2-episode series on the topic of self-discipline and building healthy habits.In this episode, Aadam and I outline the differences between self-discipline, motivation, willpower and self-control, highlight the benefits of self-discipline, and discuss practical methods to cultivating that in our daily lives. How can I prevent my "monkey mind" from taking over when I try to work or study? How can I develop practical goals, aspirations and strategies in my life? How can I start building more structure, focus and discipline in my life, and how can I develop more willpower to do the things I have to do even when I don't feel like doing them? These and other questions are explored in this episode.References used and resources mentioned in the episode:- "5 Timeless Strategies for Building Self-Discipline" by Sam Thomas Davies- Dandapani's tips to developing willpower, video on Youtube- "Jordan Peterson's Method for Self Discipline" video by TopThink- Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day by Jay Shetty- "Master Self-Discipline" video by Jay Shetty- The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy by Lewis Howes - Mindful Self-Discipline by Giovanni Dienstmann - "Marcus Aurelius – How To Build Self Discipline (Stoicism)" video by Philosophies for Life- Meditations by Marcus Aurelius- Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success by Rory Vaden- Don't Sweat the Small Stuff . . . and It's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life by Richard CarlsonDeveloping practical plans of action (resources from Giovanni Dienstmann, in order):- Start with Purpose, Difference between Goals and Aspirations, and Specify Your Aspiration with SMART Goals (also: Want-to Goals vs. Have-to Goals)- Find your: Core Values, Deeper Why and Role Models- Design Your Aspirational Identity, Magnify Your Aspiration and cultivate The Triple Commitment

While one might wonder why the owner of an SEO company would show up on a podcast devoted to people, processes, and performance, the answer is clear within seconds of listening to this episode. John’s company has been fully remote for eight years, and so we talked about the following: Implementing social interaction as part of the work environment (“For some, work IS the social circle.”) The importance of finding your “why purpose” and being happy along the way Tips on being self-disciplined as a remote worker John’s top 3 best practices for managing remote employees Intentionally creating an organization’s culture Other podcast episodes mentioned: Not offering remote options is for the dinosaurs, Remote workers… Opportunity or challenge?, The Deeper Why, The Deeper Why in Everything, and The Importance of Core Values About John Vuong John Vuong is the owner of Local SEO Search Inc.

One thing that has been greatly affected by the pandemic is the workplace setup. Most companies have had to tweak operations, and sometimes even to make drastic changes, like going from 100% in-person to 100% remote.  Even as organizations think about phasing back into some version of in-person work, it still makes sense to offer remote and teleworking options for your employees’ and business’s health and security. You can always shuffle a number of your staff to work on-site and remotely, even rotate them if needed. Naturally, these are added efforts for the company, but these are much-needed tradeoffs. It’s a complex balancing act, and compromises are surely necessary, but when executed correctly, you’ll be surprised that employees can be as efficient, if not more so, when they work remotely. In this episode, Dawn talks about the absolute need to be flexible in your workplace operations and the importance of adjusting to the ever-changing situation. One take-away: what is most important is that your employees perform and thrive as well as they can and set them up for success, regardless of their situation. Other podcast episodes referenced: People Processes Performance, Remote workers… Opportunity or challenge?, The Deeper Why?, and The Deeper Why in Everything The post Episode 185 – Not offering remote work options is for the dinosaurs first appeared on The Shuler Group LLC.

A couple of years ago, a magazine I enjoyed reading announced they shifted focus, thus, overhauling their content and a lot of their staff. With that, its quality, in my opinion, has gone downhill. This magazine used to have brilliant content with entertaining articles containing helpful and valuable information. Now, the articles aren’t as dynamic and detailed. I find them quite generic, and there’s not much value in them as before. I then realized why I am no longer drawn to it; they are writing to the lowest common denominator.  When information is conveyed with the lowest common denominator, there’s a danger of losing substance… and ultimately losing its target audience. When you’re addressing the lowest common denominator, then you’re leaving out a good portion of the world. Listen in as Dawn discusses the lowest common denominator, stagnation, and how to overcome it by working in your Zone of Genius.

It was a delight interviewing Cedric Nwafor, founder of ROOTS Africa. It’s my pleasure to share his story growing up in Cameroon and touch on things that our organizations have in common like:  Finding the Deeper Why of an organization Identifying individuals’ Deeper Why Re-engaging participants, especially in remote groups Leaders’ roles in discovering the Deeper Why Listen in as we go through some of the challenges he faces with aligning groups across the globe and some solutions we brainstormed together…. all leading to a more effective and productive organization. About Cedric Nwafor A passion for agriculture and its people drives Cedric Nwafor, a social entrepreneur and public speaker who has organized, facilitated, and spoken at various African and US events. He is the founder of ROOTS Africa, a youth-led organization that combats hunger, poverty, and exclusion by connecting students and agricultural experts in the US to farming communities in Africa. While earning his bachelor’s degree, he visited farms in Idaho and Maryland and Rwanda, Liberia, Cameroon, Ghana, and Uganda to learn different farm life and management approaches. Along the way, Cedric became an agricultural evangelist, engaging African youth in civic affairs in both cities and rural communities. He believes that engaging the young generations in agriculture is vital to the African continent’s future and the socio-economic well-being of its peoples.  Cedric previously served as a Managing Partner of the Afrika Youth Movement, leading its five strategic committees, and as a Mentor and Advocate for Streetwise Partners, an organization supporting low-income populations. He was a 2016 nominee for the African Youth in Agriculture Award and commencement speaker at his graduation from the University of Maryland College of Agriculture Natural Resources with a BA in Agriculture and Resource Economics focusing on Entrepreneurship.  He has co-created and instructed a Global Agriculture course at UMD and is now managing the university’s Agriculture Innovation Program. Cedric is currently enrolled in a Non-Profit Leadership graduate program in the School of Public Policy. He is also a Do Good Accelerator Fellow and an Academy for Innovation Fellow.  Cedric, born and raised in Cameroon, immigrated to the United States in 2010 and now resides in Maryland.

In organizations/companies, training is something that we go through regularly. Be it for operations or human resources, held by the company you’re working on or an external firm, we all experience training in one form or another. Management training, diversity and inclusion training, compliance training may seem superfluous, but we shouldn’t take these for granted. Often these are treated just like checking a box; we only go through it because it’s required, and then set it aside after and get on with our day. However, there is a reason why such training exists, and there are valuable things to pick up from it. If you’re attending training, either virtually or in person, an important thing you can do is to figure out the “Deeper Why” and ask yourself these questions, “How can I integrate what I’ve learned into practice?” and “How can I implement these to my daily work-life?”  Listen in as Dawn Shuler shares the importance of training and why we need to pay a bit more attention to it. Other podcast episodes referenced: The Deeper Why in everything. The post Episode 171 - Is your training just checking a box? first appeared on The Shuler Group LLC.

A couple of years ago, we were interviewing individual employees as part of our Company Climate Inventory with a client.  During this interview, I asked the gentleman about his strengths and gifts, especially with regard to managing others.  He said, “Managing good people is easy.” “What makes someone ‘good’?” I asked. “Not lazy,” was his response. Is that really all that it is?  Just someone doing their job, and therefore managing that person is effortless? No, it takes more than that.  Listen in as I go a little deeper into defining good managers and good employees.

As we get set to launch WHYu - a school for the soul this fall (2020) and with the first semester being all about Passion, because it forms the foundation of your Deeper Why; we're having some lovely conversations about Passion and how, let's face it, we really don't know what our Passion is? Despite this self-help age promising us 6 easy steps to discovering our passion most of us still feel lifeless and lost and we say this with so much compassion for the human condition for this was our life too! So in this podcast we talk about Why we don't know our Passion and how the world is not really set up to help and support us with Passion. So enjoy...and thanks for tuning in.

Most companies would say that their customers and clients are of paramount importance and that they pride themselves on great customer service. (Have you ever heard a company boast about its horrible customer service?)  However, we all know that not all companies have good customer service. Good customer service isn’t about that it’s the “right thing to do.” It also makes great business sense.  A customer is 4x as likely to defect to a competitor if the problem is service-related, rather than if it’s price- or product-related.  55% of customers would pay extra to guarantee better service. Listen in as Dawn Shuler recounts a story of customer service gone bad, resulting in that defection mentioned above, and the criteria for choosing new companies. Other podcast episodes mentioned: Internal and external customer service – part 1, Does your customer service create a sacred bubble?, The importance of core values, and The Deeper Why in everything.

When you drive to the grocery store or somewhere you go to a lot, how much do you notice the people, cars, roads, and buildings around you? Or do you find yourself at your destination realizing you don’t remember getting there? You were on autopilot. It happens to all of us.  We get lulled into a sense of complacency, and we relax our protocols and necessary things we’ve put into place. Listen in as Dawn Shuler tells the story of Juno Kitty and her escape… and what that means for us in our working lives. Other podcast episodes referenced:  The Deeper Why in everything and Proactive and Reactive revisited

Listen in as Dawn Shuler describes a situation that most of us deal with on a regular basis.  Someone does something we don’t like.  Do we make a big deal out of it or not? Sometimes the answer is yes; others it’s no.  What are the determining factors? Other podcast episodes referenced:  Forward motion, Deeper Why, Are you playing the long game?, and Are you purpose-driven?

Unfortunately, we live in a society that tells us not to toot our own horns, for fear that we might make others feel less than.  What if, instead, we could, at the same time, see how valuable we are in an organization as well as seeing how valuable our colleagues are?  What kind of magic could we create? Listen in as Dawn Shuler talks about two crucial components of understanding the value of all employees in an organization. Other podcast episodes referenced:  The Deeper Why in everything  

Dawn Shuler describes problems with employee turnover for two organizations:  one organization who has had almost 100% turnover outside their executive team, and another who just resigns itself to the “fact” of constant turnover. Is employee turnover preventable? Absolutely! According to statistics, 75% of employee turnover is preventable (and is NOT tied to compensation). Listen in as Dawn recommends three solutions for solving problems with constant employee turnover. Other podcast episodes referenced:  The Deeper Why, Right People in the Right Seats, and Why employee engagement is something you must focus on

Today, Dawn Shuler revisits the topic of engagement as a two-way street – equal responsibility for both the employee and the manager.  She also mentions the 3 needs that trigger discretionary effort (meaning that the employee *wants* to make the effort), positive leadership, and the connection between engagement and thriving. Resources mentioned:  The Collaborative Employee Engagement Model Other podcast episodes mentioned: Collaborative Employee Engagement Model, The Deeper Why, and Environmental Fit

At the heart of every email, meeting, project, department, organization, or initiative is … what is its purpose?  While you may not consider yourself to be particularly purpose driven, listen in as Dawn Shuler explains the POM (Purpose-Outcome-Method) model and how it can be applied to everything, even vacations.

Both Gerry and I have been Entrepreneurs for long time, so we both "get" that roller coaster ride. In today's noisy non-stop world it's even more important to be guided by something deeper, deeper than a logo or even a brand that we flip around every few years. We get into how your Deeper WHY serves you on this entrepreneurial ride and then I have the pleasure of interviewing entrepreneur Anthea Mumby and how it has served her and how she is now serving others. So sit back, relax and enjoy...

Everything is magnified when you begin tapping into your Deeper Why. Not a Goal or Reason but your true Deeper Why - how the World is Helped By You! Imagine everyone living from this place. Everything becomes aligned. New levels of connection and Engagement with yourself and the world become possible. Join us as Gerry and I have another inspiring conversation leading up to our Ultimate Why Workshop at #Canfitpro 2019 in Toronto. It's Whytime Baby!

Over the years we've had the pleasure of working with multiple Direct Sales Companies, Leaders and Everyday people in this industry through our Coaching, our Publishing & Inspirational work and what we've found to be true is that while the Direct Sales/MLM/Network marketing industry does focus on Personal Development and your Why - there is a big difference between your Networking Marketing Why and your Deeper Why - so we're talking about that today and then I have the absolute pleasure of interviewing Beach Body Diamond Leader and Mega amazing person Kim Fitzpatrick and her take on the Deeper Why. So sit tight for some radical inspiration!

So many of us feel numbed out, like life is passing us by and we simply don't feel or notice much of it. In this podcast we have an inspiring conversation about this and the regrets we will face at the end of our life, by not waking up and noticing which happens to be the subject of Gerry's next Transformational novel - The Life I Didn't Notice - This is all connected to your Deeper Why so stay tuned because we'll cover all that. Thanks for tuning in and for sharing our inspired work.

What we find to be true on this mission of Inspiring 1 Million Whys is that we do not know what brings us Joy, what makes us come alive - our Passion. Despite this self help age, we have the most challenging time once again knowing our Passion and this is so important as Passion is a huge part of your Deeper Why - the World Helped by You. So sit back and enjoy this podcast as we have a conversation about Why we do not know our Passion. A new understanding of why we don't know helps to remove the barriers to Passion's presence. With Love Angela & Gerry...

Nothing outside of you will create the focus that you truly desire in your heart to experience. As your Deeper Why gets ignited within you and you begin the journey - and yes, it's a journey, not an overnight thing - of living it you will find new levels of focus & clarity naturally unfolding and then as this happens what you create becomes aligned and integrated. In this podcast we have an inspiring conversation about what we have experienced and what we are witnessing on this path of Inspiring 1 Million Whys...enjoy...

I recently heard a fellow trainer and coach say that core values is a trend; everyone is doing it.  As a company devoted to the Deeper Why and core values, I really had to think about this.  A trend can be a fad, or it can be an indication of something here to stay.  How do core values show up for your organization?

While we talk about finding a company’s or organization’s Deeper Why, that entire concept can be applied to any situation.  Understanding why a task needs to be done or why a situation is important creates an impactful connection and creates more powerful results.

Once your deeper Why is ignited - perhaps through #Whytime, you have to live it baby and that's not always easy in this noisy, busy sometimes crazy world. Your Why is a state of Being and this is something we can wrap our heads around intellectually but quite foreign for us at the same time. So Gerry and I are spending some time on this podcast talking about your Deeper Why as a state of Being and offering some tips on how to Live it....so sit back and be inspired...

Our philosophy – our mission, if you will – at The Shuler Group is the Deeper Why. We define the Deeper Why as that core kernel of what keeps us going, makes a difference, is our USP (Unique Selling Proposition), and our secret sauce. Our Deeper Why is the Deeper Why.
