Podcasts about hidden obstacles

Today, we're discussing a hidden obstacle that might be holding you back in ways you can't even imagine: blame. Blaming someone or something is often our default during challenging situations, and it can seem justifiable in the moment. But jumping straight to blame feels terrible, and it doesn't get us anywhere. So, what can we do about it?   Tune in this week to discover why we quickly go to blame someone or something during a challenging moment. You'll learn why blame feels good in the moment, why blaming (even blaming yourself) never solves your problem, and we share a more empowering alternative to blame that you can lean on next time it feels like everything is going wrong and there's nothing you can do about it.   For full transcript and show notes, please visit: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/14

Struggling mortgage professionals tend to blame external factors for their stagnation, but sometimes the culprit is a lot closer to them. Even with the best intentions, the highest level of potential, and the biggest dreams, there are still certain hidden obstacles that we can’t outrun or outperform until they are dealt with.  These obstacles secretly suck the life out of our ability to achieve our full potential, and even the most talented people can become victims of them.  How can we get rid of these insidious barriers to success? What practical steps can we take to make sure we’re equipped to soar? In this episode, I talk about three things that might be holding us back without our knowledge.  Replace delusional optimism with clear-headed accurate thinking. -Doren Aldana     Takeaways  Why fear does nothing to protect us from risk:  Human beings are naturally designed to look out for danger, so it seems wise to focus on fear and keep a watchful eye on risks. The problem is when we focus on fear, we expand the things we actually don’t want. What should we focus on instead? How delusional optimism perpetuates our problems:Delusional optimism is when we expect things to get better without actually making any changes to aid the situation. How can we take action ourselves to pull our business out of stagnation? What our terror barrier tells us about ourselves:Our comfort zone encircles our life and the current results we have. Stepping out of that will inevitably feel scary, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar. That doesn’t mean we’re doing something wrong, it actually means something good is happening. How can we use it to create the life we want?

Shep Hyken interviews Jeff Toister. They discuss his book, Getting Service Right: Overcoming the Hidden Obstacles to Outstanding Customer Service, and Jeff offers immediately applicable advice on how to improve your customer service.  In Shep’s Opening Monologue... He discusses the importance of caring for your employees so they can better care for your customers. The Interview with Jeff Toister:It’s difficult to not take angry customers personally. The instinct is either fight or flight, neither of which is helpful in a customer service situation. The key is to recognize this instinct, take a pause and a breath, and choose to respond in a different way.Employees are trained to jump straight into offering solutions to angry customers rather than focusing on the emotions at play. Often, angry customers need to vent first. Once they’ve calmed down, they will be more receptive to your ideas for solutions to their problem.Transform your approach from an adversarial stance to the mindset of a partner. If you approach the problem with the customer as a team, they won’t be on the defensive and will be more open to potential solutions.Organization leaders and executives usually don’t spend much time dealing with customers and can therefore be out of touch with their company’s quality of customer service. They may make the mistake of assuming that customer service is both easy and common sense, which it isn’t.People assume that customer service is getting worse when in reality, it’s getting better. The issue is that “good” customer service is what’s expected, and people remember negative experiences more because it’s a deviation from the expectation.When you witness an employee fall short of an expectation, don’t jump straight to conclusions and solutions. Instead, ask “why?” and suspend judgement. Have a conversation with the employee and involve them in problem solving for the present and the future.Quote:  “Great customer service leaders make it easy for their employees to deliver great service.” - Jeff Toister About: Jeff Toister is a top customer service and experience influencer and the author of three customer service books.

Do you know what's standing between you and the life you want? Really? As a life coach and therapist I regularly meet with clients who show up for counseling or coaching, certain that they know what their problem is, and what needs to be done to fix it. Aaannnddd.... the next phase of the work in counseling or coaching is often helping people go further, and dig deeper to understand what the true source of "the problem" really is. (Hint: It is almost never what you think it is). Once that is revealed, we can then move to creating action-oriented strategies that will create meaningful and lasting change. They go from feeling stuck, and like they're just spinning their wheels as they ineffectively chasing after what they think is the solution to the problem, to feeling like they are actually making progress. But the first step is truly self-awareness. If you don't know what's really getting in your way, you can't possibly fix it. Can you relate? If so, you're in luck: Today on the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast I'm walking you through an activity that will raise your self-awareness, and help you "get under the hood" of your inner experience. You'll learn some new things about yourself AND get direction for how to start making changes.  Here's to growth! Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby

My book reflection of Trap Tales - Outsmarting the 7 Hidden Obstacles to Success. After reading this book, you will be an expert “Trapologist.” You’ve got to love the catchy names authors create to suit the content of their work – Trapologist. It sold me! But seriously it's a good little read with value to be had. The authors describe a trap as being seductive, deceptive, sticky and limiting. Many of us fall into these common life traps. These include The relationship trap, the money trap, the focus trap, the change trap, the learning trap, the career trap, and the purpose trap. Have a listen to my full review here.

Running a company can sometimes feel like a treacherous journey. A bad financial decision will cost you a ton of money.

Some sort of blueprint to show you where you might fall so you can avoid the hassle of trying to dig your way out.

It seems like a universal dictum. When you start to make positive change, you're going to get pushback. It's not a magical force thing. The fact is, you're rocking the boat. Your attempt to change, no matter how small, is throwing off the dysfunctional equilibrium you've been living with. Somewhere along the line you got used to how you live and how you feel. Inertia is as much a psychological as a physical phenomenon. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)
