This week Peter and Mirta discuss the 5 Why's thinking process!   Sakichi Toyoda, the Japanese industrialist, inventor, and founder of Toyota Industries, developed the 5 Whys technique in the 1930s and Toyota still uses it to solve problems today!   The Five Why's is most effective when the answers come from people who have hands-on experience of the process or problem in question.   The method is remarkably simple: when a problem occurs, you drill down to its root cause by asking "Why?" five times. Then, when a counter-measure becomes apparent, you follow it through to prevent the issue from recurring.   Listen in to this episode to find out the benefits, the draw backs and some tips and tricks about some ways that you can use the 5 Why's in your own problem solving situations.   The hosts also love to hear any feedback or answer questions you may have, so feel free to send them a message at peter.cronin@viago.com.au or mirta@viago.co.nz!

In today's episode, Amy and Becky reflect on Sam Woodham's top tip, to never underestimate your unique perspective.  "If you're lucky enough to have an idea, don't let it go. Give it a go."We discuss the challenges of how to stick with an idea, and persist against the odds as you transform it from just a niggle in your head into a service or product that people love and want to buy.As an entrepreneur doing something not done before, in a way not done before, validation is unlikely to come easily.We ask how to: Make peace with feeling uncomfortable when self-doubt is rampant.Make decisions based on objective information not just personal interpretation.Operate from the positive, intellectual part of the brain where you can make sophisticated decisions, rather than your limbic system designed to protect you from pain at all costs.We reflect on:The Five Why method of root cause analysis: ask "why?" five times, to drill down to the core issues behind any set-backs or challenges. The importance of building self-awareness so that you can identify when you are being triggered negatively.The five BASIC social needs of humans: Belonging (B), Autonomy (A), Status (S), Integrity (I) and Certainty (C).Not to quit on a bad day: wait until you've had a really great day, and make the decision then.Schedule time to reflect on any persistent concerns, and consciously create an environment that will support you to do your best thinking. We would love to hear your experiences of persevering through challenges to make your ideas a reality.  What has worked for you?  What have been your hardest battles?  How do you make the peace and space to listen and act on your ideas?  Please connect  with us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter using the links below; and do subscribe to The MindStyling podcast and newsletter.About MindStylingSign up for the MindStyling Newsletter: https://mindstyling.group/sign-up/Instagram:  www.instagram.com/mindstylingpodcastTwitter:  www.twitter.com/mindstylingpodFacebook: www.facebook.com/mindstylingpodcastWebsite: mindstyling.groupHost: Amy ArmstrongWebsite: https://amyarmstrongcoaching.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyarmstrongcoach/Instagram: www.instagram.com/amyarmstrongcoachingHost: Dr Becky SageInstagram: www.instagram.com/drbeckysageTwitter: www.twitter.com/becky_sageWebsite: www.beckysage.comAbout The Divorce Surgery and Sam WoodhamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedivorcesurgery/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DivorceSurgeryLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/the-divorce-surgery-b946a3164/Website: https://www.thedivorcesurgery.co.uk/

On today’s episode, Dr. Sabrina and Mike Bruno sit down with Corey Kupfer for a paradigm-shifting conversation. Listen in for powerful questions that will change your mindset and get you thinking in bigger ways, including how you can discover opportunities for improving your negotiating and deal-making skills. Corey Kupfer is a rarity among attorneys—he both understands and appreciates how business people think. He is an expert strategist, dealmaker, and business consultant with more than 30 years of professional negotiating experience as a successful entrepreneur and attorney. Corey is actively and personally involved in the corporate and deal practice areas of the law firm he founded, Kupfer & Associates, PLLC including sophisticated corporate structuring, high-level strategic advice, mergers, acquisitions, succession, and other deals for domestic and international companies while overseeing the firm’s other practice areas. He is the author of Authentic Negotiating and the host of the DealQuest podcast. You can learn more about Corey and his latest projects at www.coreykupfer.com. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group. Show Highlights: Corey shares how his interest in both authenticity and negotiation started from a very young age. Early on, Corey observed that there are certain traits that master negotiators have.  Learn to control emotions so that they do not have an impact on the negotiation. Corey details the “CDE”, the fundamental framework for authentic negotiating:  C for clarity D for detachment E for equilibrium Corey covers questions to ask yourself for gaining clarity: What is it that you do in your life to get centered and reconnected? The Five Why’s “CPR” - Context, purpose, and results Dr. Sabrina and Corey discuss limiting beliefs and the importance of mindset shift. If you’re taking the next right action, trust that you’re moving in the right direction and trust that it will be revealed to you what the next right action is. Corey defines and explains the Pygmalion effect (also known as the Rosenthal effect) and how this had a profound impact in his own life. When working through a paradigm, expect “terror barriers”. Learn how to break and advance through it instead of bouncing off of it and settling back to the ex-paradigm.

Is fear standing in the way of something you truly want? Before you tackle any of your fears, you need to do something called Toyota's Five Why's. Listen as Kim explains the secret to uncovering what you're really afraid of and your core motivation for wanting to overcome it.

The first step of developing an assessment plan, and the first step of instructional design, in general, is getting a firm grasp of the actual instructional goal.  If you're lucky you will have the opportunity to do a full needs analysis with resources and access to the learners, chances are you will need to be a bit more scrappy and try and muddle through to dig deeper.  But it is a critical step.  I tend to try and keep asking, sort of a "Five Why's" approach when I'm in a pickle with someone who isn't clear or doesn't want to share.  I'm also not easily embarrassed so I don't mind acting a bit more confused than I am at times.  What are the methods that you might use to dig deeper when someone says they want a course but is less clear on the outcome they are looking for?

For the second part of our discussion on vegan athletes, The ChickPeeps chat to Brian Rose, the founder and host of London Real, who recently went plant-based when challenged by his friend, musician and triathlete, John Joseph, to compete in a half Ironman and do it vegan. Brian offers a unique perspective on going vegan as somebody able to observe the changes that occurred within his body and mind in a short space of time, and who's primary motivator in trying veganism were the health benefits. Also on this episode: Brian shares how the many vegan guests he interviews on his weekly show piqued his curiosity about the lifestyle. “People don't do what you say, they do what you do.” Brian talks about how he had to increase his food intake when he went plant-based to keep up with the demands of his training. The changes Brian witnessed in his mind and body, and how green vegetables played a crucial part in his training regime. We discuss why many athletic coaches are vehemently against their athletes following a vegan diet. Brian gives his 3 top tips for new vegans. “If it hurts, don't eat that.” Fear = False Expectations Appearing Real. How going vegan prompts a shift in one's thought process and a different outlook on life. "If you look at the world in 50 years, I mean it's a no-brainer to me, that we will all be eating more plant based, it's just gonna be what does that look like?” Links Follow Brian and London Real on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

http://blog.close.io/sales-leaders-deliver-bad-news another Monday morning: The sun’s shining, the investors are happy, and the entire office seems to be in an exceptionally good mood. You can just tell it’s gonna be a great week. Or so you thought, until you got that call. You know, the one from your most profitable customer saying, “Yeah, we’re not gonna be renewing our contract at the end of the month. Thanks for the last five years, though. Peace.” The news hits like a bombshell, and your head’s still reeling when you come to a terrible realization: As a leader, you actually have to do something about this. Moreover, you have to be the one that breaks the bad news to your team. There’s nothing worse than having to drop bad news on the people you’re responsible for. But here’s a wake-up call: As a leader, navigating bad news is your job, your responsibility, and your privilege. Your team chose you as much as you chose them, and this is your opportunity to prove to them they made a good decision. If you don’t mess it up. Startups are hard. Make it easier by claiming your free copy of From 0 to 1,000+ customers & beyond. Seriously, don’t mess it up There’s only one thing worse than bad news: Bad news, delivered badly. I see it all the time in inexperienced leaders: They get the news and immediately think, “Okay, how can I make sure nobody knows about this?” It’s a symptom of imposter syndrome. Suddenly, all of your time and energy goes into hiding the problem rather than solving it, but guess what? Your team always finds out sooner or later, and in the worst possible way: By uncovering something you were trying to hide. And just like that, your credibility as a leader is compromised. Now not only do you have a crisis to navigate, you have to navigate it without the trust and faith of your team. And spoiler alert: It’s probably not gonna work. Your team’s too divided to survive. How to break bad news to your team Alright, that’s the wrong way to break bad news. Thankfully there’s a better way. It just takes a bit of finesse and patience. I recommend breaking the process down into three days: On the first day, keep the news to yourself and focus on managing your emotional response. On the second day, do research around the problem, gather data, and ask for help from advisors. On the third day, call a meeting and break the news to your team. Let’s take a closer look at each of the three days. Day I: Getting perspective First things first: When you get bad news, it’s probably gonna sound like the end of the world. It’s not, unless you treat it that way. Because here’s the thing: If you, as your team’s fearless leader, claim the sky is falling, people are gonna believe you. They’re gonna buy into your fear and helplessness, and that doesn’t help anyone. So pause, take a minute, and breathe. Don’t jump to conclusions, solutions, or decisions; not yet. Your number one priority after getting bad news must be managing your own emotional household before you worry about anyone or anything else. Before taking any further action, I recommend completing two exercises: The Worst Case Scenario Planner and The Five Why’s. Let’s take a quick look at each. The Worst Case Scenario Planner If the present crisis feels like the end of the world, you lack perspective. The truth is, even the worst case scenario probably isn’t really all that bad.....

The Why Strategy Can Be Used In Any Area of Life Today’s topic is an important concept that came about as a result of things I noticed concerning WHAT people did and HOW they did it.  It’s basically the WHY; you may have heard about the “Five Why’s” that originated from Toyota Motor Company.  The WHY is a tool used to drill down to the root cause of a potential problem.  There is some criticism of the process, mainly because people don’t execute it very well.  The idea is to ask why, then why that, and keep on until there is an ultimate solution.  For illustration, here is an example. Example 1---Problem:  A robot malfunctioned on an assembly line at Toyota. Why did it stop working?  The arm broke. Why did the arm break?  A piece inside broke. Why did the piece break?  It was stressed and not maintained properly. Why wasn’t it maintained properly?  It didn’t receive enough oil. Why didn’t it receive enough oil?  Oiling the part isn’t part of the regular maintenance schedule. Solution:  Lubricating that piece is now part of regular maintenance. Do you see how it works?  You go on and on to the source as you simplify the problem down to an easy fix.  The whole process relates to the business world in the area of problem-solving.  I’ll share more examples to further illustrate the concept. Surprisingly, I've had calls where someone says, 'my lights in my house just went our.' I really want to say, well, so what are you going to do about it as I'm surprised by the question. I ask them a series of questions.  Is it the neighborhood or just your house?  Is it the whole house or a part?  Ok, it's just part of the house. Is the circuit overloaded?  Ok, you can reset the circuit breaker. But, why did it occur? What can be changed to prevent its recurrence? It turns out that it was a microwave, TV and an iron all being used at the same time. How to fix this and why did it occur? It happens that in the construction phase after the design and electric was installed, they decided to move the microwave. The builder now knows that it can't do that again unless it changes the circuits. People often look at what’s happening around them from a landscape view, or as if they were watching a movie.  They enjoy what is happening around them, but they don’t understand the underlying causal relationships. In business, this process can be used to prevent/reduce recurring problems and to increase efficiency/productivity. Even when we look at how kids are raised, we can apply the idea of why we do certain things to raise them. If it’s done too much on emotion, then you can overindulge them or pacify them.  If your attitude is, as I is often said, ‘to give them all the things I never had.’ Will you achieve the desired end result of preparing kids to survive in the world?  Do your methods pass the ‘Why’ test?  Will your methods achieve the desired result of preparing them to succeed in life? One problem we face is that we are apt to “fall in love” with a method we have used or are using to the point that we become biased and prejudiced toward our own ideas.  By asking the WHY, we can train our minds in causality and learn to question our own thoughts and ideas. I faced these problems many times in research, in particular, one at GM Research Labs, was dealer service and customer satisfaction. A typical example was the customer returns to pick up his car and the car is not ready. Why?  The part is not in stock? Why? Are not enough ordered? Are the parts failing too quickly? Is there a problem with the ordering process? Now, here is where people sometimes think this ideas of asking why doesn’t work. They quickly concluded only one of those 3 choices and start drilling down further and ‘fix’ the wrong issue. So, it isn’t the system that failed, it is that they didn’t first look at all alternatives before proceeding. Sometimes, the temptation is to jump down to the basic WHY without investigating each leve...
