How can we move from fearing equity to championing it? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Celeste Warren, former Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Merck and author of The Truth About Equity. With nearly three decades of experience, Celeste has been recognized by Black Enterprise's "Top Executives in Global Diversity and Inclusion." Celeste's father was the first black teacher and principal in western Pennsylvania. She shares how her "dinner table lessons" taught her that while obstacles are real, they are never an excuse to stop succeeding. She opens up about the internal struggle of stepping into a DEI role as a woman of color and how she learned to stop "putting her blackness to the back." She shares powerful lessons for rising leaders: The Rocks and the Fence. Equity isn't about taking things away; it's about providing the "rocks" needed to see over systemic fences while we work to tear those fences down. Boil Your Own Pot. You don't have to save the world alone. Impact starts by influencing the two or three people immediately around you. Growth vs. Fixed Mindset. View opportunity as a bar graph that can rise infinitely, rather than a finite pie where one person's gain is another's loss. Embrace Your "Lock and Load" Energy. Learn to balance your drive with a "servant leadership" heart that nurtures and protects your team. Celeste's journey to global DEI leader is a wonderful model of authenticity and intentionality.

Nearly 40% of discrimination cases are never reported.Employee claims of discrimination hit a record high in 2024 (the highest level in nine years of tracking) - and that's just what gets reported.45% of workers aren't even aware their company has an anti-discrimination policy.Let some of those numbers sink in...This week on the podcast I am joined by Laura Iancu, founder of Searchpedia, the SEO Gal at Octopus Energy, and a proud member of Women in Tech SEO & NDs in SEO.She refers to herself as a search activist, meaning she doesn't just talk about making search better, fairer, and more useful, she walks the walk.We talk about why representation and inclusion matters both online and in the workplace. She shares what frustrates her most, the impact it has in the workplace and how community plays an important role.She also shares practical tips for people who feel excluded and how we can all be better allies.As this is such a big topic, I have decided to do a part one and part two.This is part one of the conversation, where me and Laura have a heart to heart and put some worlds to right.We discuss so many different topics including, the problem with “default user" design, whether its lack of awareness or money constraints that get in the way, being aware of how our own background and experiences can give us biases, how exclusion shows up in the workplace and so much more.About LauraLaura Iancu is the founder of Searchpedia, the SEO Gal at Octopus Energy, and a proud member of Women in Tech SEO & NDs in SEO.

https://teachhoops.com/ One of the most taxing challenges a coach can face is the "Enigma"—the player who possesses all the physical tools and natural intuition for the game, yet lacks the internal fire to refine them. We often call this the "Motivation Gap." In these scenarios, the danger isn't just the untapped potential of that individual; it's the "Cultural Dilution" that occurs when the rest of the team sees talent being prioritized over effort. To bridge this gap, a coach must move from a "Command and Control" style to a "Discovery and Purpose" approach. You have to find the "Why" behind the lethargy. Is it a fear of failure, a lack of challenge, or a disconnect between their personal goals and the team's mission? When dealing with unmotivated talent, you must first determine if you are dealing with "Comfort" or "Conflict." The Comfort Trap: Some players have always been the best in the room without trying. They have developed a "Fixed Mindset" where they believe their talent is a static trait. For them, working hard feels like admitting they aren't "naturally" great. The Conflict Trap: Sometimes, a lack of motivation is a defensive mechanism. If they don't try and they lose, they can say, "I wasn't really trying." If they try and lose, they have to face the reality of their ceiling. The "Challenge" Method: High-talent players are often bored by "blocked" drills. Introduce Variable Chaos—drills where they are disadvantaged (e.g., 2v3 or playing with a "weak hand only" restriction). Force them into situations where their natural talent isn't enough to succeed, necessitating a higher level of focus. Investment Over Instruction: Stop telling them what to do and start asking them how they would solve a problem. Give them "Micro-Ownership" of a specific team goal (e.g., "You are responsible for our defensive communication in the fourth quarter"). When they feel like an architect of the system rather than a cog in it, their "Investment Level" typically rises. The "Standard" is the Only Star: You must be willing to sit the unmotivated star. If the standard is "We sprint to the level of the ball," and the star jogs, they must see the bench. This protects the integrity of your "Energy Givers" and sends a clear message: Talent gets you in the gym, but Effort keeps you on the floor. Identify the Root: Distinguish between boredom, fear, and lack of purpose. Increase the Difficulty: Use disadvantage drills to spark competitive fire. Shared Ownership: Give the player a specific leadership task to increase their "Buy-In." Hold the Line: Never sacrifice the program's standards for a single player's skill set.

What if every piece of content you've pushed out to "stay visible" has actually been quietly costing you, not in reach, but in trust? In yourself, and in the people you're trying to reach.There's a pressure most creators know intimately but rarely name out loud: the pull to make content that performs rather than content that actually sounds like you. This episode explores this very topic and asks what it's really costing us.Erin Simmons joins the show to explore the hidden erosion that happens when we optimise ourselves out of our own voice, and why community (not better strategy) might be the most powerful way back.About ErinErin is Managing Director at the Women in Tech SEO community—focused on maintaining safe, inclusive, and helpful spaces.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🔑Key Points 🌱 Growth mindset transforms learning – Residents and students who believe skills can be developed are more open to feedback, more resilient after failure, and more engaged in practice.🧠 Language matters in feedback – Simple reframes such as “You’re developing procedural skills” instead of “You’re not strong at procedures” encourage persistence and normalize the learning curve.🤝 Mindset shapes team culture – Growth mindset leaders foster psychological safety, invite input, and create collaborative teams. Fixed mindset hierarchies, on the other hand, silence voices and can compromise patient care.🔥 Growth mindset protects against burnout – By reframing mistakes as part of the process, clinicians reduce perfectionism and shame, bolstering resilience and wellness.🔍 Practical steps start with self-talk – Add the word “yet” to limiting beliefs (“I’m not good at X…yet”) and shift feedback questions toward improvement (“What’s one thing I can do better next time?”).🛠️ Embracing mistakes with a growth mindset – Leads to more effective feedback loops and improvement do this by building a culture of psychological safety is crucial for growth and reducing medical errors.

Here we sharpen the person behind the practitioner by focusing on things that improve our performance, optimizing team dynamics and the human behavior that embodies the hidden curriculum of medicine. Mindset shapes everything we do in medicine—from how we teach and learn to how we show up for patients at the bedside. Drawing from Carol Dweck’s influential book Mindset, this episode of REBEL MIND explores the critical difference between a fixed mindset (believing abilities are innate and static) and a growth mindset (seeing skills as things that can be developed through effort and feedback). We sat down with Dr. Kim Bambach, an emergency medicine physician and medical educator, and Dr. Frank Lodeserto, a dual-trained intensivist and internal medicine program director, to unpack how mindset influences medical education, bedside performance, and physician wellness. In this episode, we delve into how the mindset of clinicians can profoundly influence their performance, professional growth, and ultimately patient care Cognitive Question How does adopting a growth versus a fixed mindset influence clinical performance, medical education and patient outcomes? 🌱What is Growth vs Fixed Mindset? In Carol Dweck’s research, two primary mindsets are highlighted: Fixed mindset: Which sees intelligence and skills as staticIn the medical field, adopting a fixed mindset might lead a clinician to avoid complex cases due to fear of failure.Growth mindset: Which views abilities as improvable through dedication and effort. In contrast, a growth mindset encourages embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and development. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? In high-stakes environments like the ICU or the ED, the mindset adopted by healthcare providers can distinctly shape patient care and team dynamics. A fixed mindset might lead to defensive behaviors and a reluctance to engage in challenging cases, potentially stunting personal and professional growth. Conversely, a growth mindset not only fosters resilience and adaptability but also enhances team collaboration and patient outcomes by encouraging open communication, continuous learning, and acceptance of constructive feedback. ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Monitor Self-Talk**: Notice your internal narrative when faced with challenges. Replace negative, fixed-mindset thoughts with growth-oriented ones like “Not yet” or “What can I learn from this?”**Promote a Culture of Inquiry**: Challenge yourself and your team to engage in constructive questioning and explore alternative diagnoses or treatment plans to encourage a growth-centered environment.**Model Vulnerability**: Share personal learning experiences and mistakes with colleagues to normalize the growth process and reduce the stigma of imperfection.**Reframe Feedback**: Instead of broadly asking, “How did I do?” inquire, “What’s one thing I can improve on next time?” This shift helps maintain focus on growth rather than performance validationFeedback is a whole another topic that we plan to have dedicated episodes and blog posts. This is an area where sometimes faculty struggle and often learners are asking for more/improved feedback. 💬Conclusion Cultivating a growth mindset in medicine isn’t merely about staying positive; it’s about embracing continuous learning in the face of challenges. It involves creating supportive environments that encourage vulnerability, experimentation, and resilience. By adopting these practices, clinicians can improve not just personal competencies but also enhance patient care quality and safety. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Clinicians who embrace a growth mindset not only enhance their skills but also contribute to a more dynamic, adaptive, and error-resilient healthcare environment. Remember, the best clinicians are those who never stop learning, not the ones who never make mistakes.

SummaryComparison is not the enemy like most people think. In this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen explain that the real problem is your mindset, not the comparison itself.They break down why everyone compares themselves and how it can either hurt you or help you grow. It all comes down to the story you tell yourself. If you think comparison means you are failing, it will hold you back. But if you use it as information, it can actually push you forward.Chase and Chris talk about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how that changes everything. They also explain why comparing yourself to people way ahead of you can kill your motivation, and how to find better comparisons that actually help.They cover how social media makes comparison worse, why you should focus more on habits instead of looks, and how to bounce back quickly after messing up.If you've ever felt behind or like you're not doing enough, this episode will help you see comparison in a completely different way and show you how to use it to your advantage.Chapters(00:00) Why Comparison Can Hurt or Help(01:16) Everyone Compares and Why Mindset Matters(03:33) The Story You Attach to Comparison(05:10) Why Comparing Yourself to the Top 10% Backfires(07:46) Outgrowing the Room and Finding Better Environments(10:57) Upward vs Downward Comparison(12:00) Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset(17:17) Real Life Examples of Health and Fitness Comparison(18:10) Self-Belief, Motivation, and Why It All Starts There(21:41) Appearance vs Performance Comparison(25:11) What Setbacks Really Mean(27:04) Recalculate and Bounce Back Faster(28:30) How to Use Comparison the Right Way(32:29) Compare the Full Process, Not Just the Result(35:18) Social Media, Highlight Reels, and Cleaning Up Your Feed(38:22) Uprooting Toxic Patterns Before They Grow(41:19) Turning Comparison from a Mirror into a Map(42:37) How to Rewire Negative ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

https://teachhoops.com/ The rise of national and regional youth basketball rankings for players as young as fourth or fifth grade is one of the most polarizing developments in the sport. On the "helpful" side, rankings can provide exposure and validation for elite talents who might otherwise be overlooked, especially those in rural areas. They can also serve as a "benchmark" for players, sparking a competitive fire to work harder. However, at the youth level, these lists are often "Projection-Based Guesswork." A player who is "ranked" at age 11 is often simply the child who hit their growth spurt early or has matured physically faster than their peers. By the time they reach high school, the "late bloomers" often catch up, rendering those early rankings irrelevant. The primary danger of early rankings is the creation of a "Fixed Mindset" and the "Arrival Fallacy." When a 12-year-old is told they are "Top 50 in the Nation," they often stop seeking the "hard coaching" that builds long-term success. They begin to play for the "highlight reel" rather than the "win," leading to the "Deterioration of Fundamentals." Instead of learning how to move without the ball or set a proper screen, they focus on isolation plays that will look good on social media. Conversely, players who aren't ranked often feel "defeated" before they've even reached puberty, leading to premature burnout and a loss of "Trust Equity" in the developmental process. As a coach or parent, you must master the "Art of the Filter." Use rankings as a "conversation starter," not a "conclusion." If a player is ranked, challenge them to prove they are the hardest worker in the gym, not just the most talented. If they aren't ranked, use it as fuel for their "underdog" mentality. Utilize TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your program's culture: are you celebrating "national status," or are you celebrating the "Zero-Talent" metrics like floor dives and box-outs? By prioritizing "Rep Density" and Skill Acquisition over "digital clout," you ensure that your athletes are building a foundation that will actually hold up when the college scouts start watching for real in 11th grade.

How does constant pressure and demands impact our personal and work life? We have Fleur Peacock on the podcast to discuss this very topic.The average person receives 146 phone notifications daily, which translates to one notification every ten minutes.It's no wonder we struggle to switch off, and feel constantly under pressure.Sarah and Fleur talk about the chaos of demands on people today, how it impacts our nervous system and overall performance in the workplace. Make sure to stick around to the end where she shares practical strategies you can implement today, to get better control of the chaos.About FleurAfter 14 years in the fitness industry, moving countries, and navigating breast cancer, Fleur's work was never about reinventing herself. It was about coming home to who she'd always been.MoreMoxie is a body of work expressed through speaking, retreats, and embodied experiences, rooted in courage, connection, and the belief that after survival, something truer and more spacious becomes possible.This isn't about routines or mindset hacks. It's about reconnecting with your body, your nervous system, and your voice, so you can live and lead in ways that actually fit. Fleur create spaces where people can step out of survival mode and rebuild their lives and identities with honesty, depth, and room for joy.Shaped by lived experience as much as training, my work is real, embodied, and human. Expect warmth, truth, the occasional swear word, and a deep obsession for the nervous system. This is serious work but it's allowed to be joyful.Where to find FleurFleur Peacock on InstagramFleur Peacock on LinkedInFleur Peacock's websiteAbout 'The SEO Mindset' PodcastBuild your inner confidence and thrive.The SEO Mindset is a weekly podcast that will give you actionable tips, guidance and advice to help you not only build your inner confidence but to also thrive in your career.Each week we will cover topics specific to careers in the SEO industry but also broader topics too including professional and personal development.Your hosts are Life Coach Tazmin Suleman and SEO Manager Sarah McDowell, who between them have over 20 years of experience working in the industry.Sign up to be a guest on the podcast here.Click here to download your copy of our free 'Growth versus Fixed Mindset' ebook.Click here to sign up for our newsletter to receive news and updates from the podcast eg latest episodes, events, competitions etc. We will never spam and you can unsubscribe at anytime.Subscribe and never miss an episode: Listen to The SEO Mindset PodcastCheck all episodes: The SEO Mindset Podcast websiteResources used for episodePeople receive a phone notification every ten minutes on averageCopyright 2026 Sarah & TazminMentioned in this episode:Support the podcast today!For the same price of a Starbucks, Costa or your favourite coffee shop drink,...

Free will sounds easy until you look closely. Then it turns out to be smaller, stranger, and far more difficult than advertised. We take a cheerful scalpel to the idea that we're the conscious captains of our lives. With help from psychology experiments, philosophical detours we find out what's really going on. Examining stories involving casinos, concentration camps, meditation cushions, and more, we discover that most behaviour is automatic. Pain, habit, desire, and social pressure do most of the driving. Yet, whilst we can't choose our thoughts or impulses, we can choose how we respond to them. Viktor Frankl called it “the space between stimulus and response,” and it turns out to be the most valuable square inch of mental real estate you'll ever own. Cultivate that space, and you get resilience, wisdom, and the rare ability to not punch metaphorical holes in windows.

Mindset shapes how we see the world, how we respond to challenges, and how we engage with others. It can either limit us or empower us to create change. The difference often comes down to whether we believe our abilities are fixed or that we can grow through effort and learning. A growth mindset helps us see challenges as chances to learn. It allows us to keep going when things are hard and to learn from mistakes instead of being discouraged. The way we think influences the life we live and the example we set for others. Ultimately, mindset is not just about personal success; it's about the legacy we leave and the difference we make in the lives of others. By nurturing a mindset that values growth, effort, and resilience, we shape not only our own path but also the world we touch. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, we return to one of the most powerful keys to success, MINDSET. We break down what mindset really means, including your beliefs, your reactions, and the way you show up every day. From fixed to growth mindset, we look at how your thoughts can hold you back or move you forward. As the year ends, we revisit stories of resilience, family, faith, and legacy that highlight moments of courage, hardship, and purpose. Tune in for a grounding reminder as you prepare for the year ahead.

You're a growth-minded leader. You see possibilities everywhere. You believe your team can do more, be more, achieve more. So why does it feel like you're the only one? Why does every conversation about change feel like pushing a boulder uphill? Why do your ideas land with silence? Why does it feel like you're dragging them forward instead of leading them there?

This week, I'm sharing a question a client asked me that I cannot stop thinking about. And I promise—the answer is going to surprise you.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Fitness Coach Max Gering discuss a case study on Gwen, a 43-year-old triathlete who has been dealing with recurring lower-body injuries. Gwen's training followed a fixed three-week high-load cycle, leading to frequent injuries. The intervention focused on a three-week cycle with intentional recovery, shifting from a swim-bike-run routine to a more varied approach. Swimming emphasized cardiovascular conditioning, cycling focused on strength endurance, and running prioritized tissue integrity. Gwen's performance improved significantly, achieving her best half-IRONMAN time without injuries.

Two Heads: Brand Marketing & Strategic Coaching for Today's Marketplace
We're pumped about our growth mindset—it's a total game-changer for entrepreneurs! Mindset drives everything in business. Today, we're tackling Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset—why it matters and how it shapes success. This isn't just motivational fluff. It's about real choices that push your business forward. Let's dive in!
The first step to helping your clients develop a growth mindset is to get really good at uncovering where their fixed mindset shows up. In this episode, host, fitness coach, and mindset expert Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas shares how fitness coaches may unintentionally operate from a fixed mindset, which prevents them from fully supporting their clients (and develops a fixed mindset IN their clients!).
