Ana and Stephen explore how cultivating a mindfulness practice can introduce critical pauses between stimulus and response, allowing us to choose more intentional responses. They discuss the idea that every small step and consistent practice contribute to a greater transformative experience, much like gradually heating water until it boils. Stephen also talks about his approach to teaching mindfulness, emphasizing the need for regular practice and the invaluable micro moments of mindfulness in our daily lives. Join Ana and Stephen as they unpack the many layers of mindfulness and its profound impact on self-awareness and personal growth. Let's dive in!

For Stephen, stress-reduction is just the beginning. His greater interest lies in the integration of traditional Buddhist insights with modern mindfulness practices. His goals are enhanced self-awareness, greater emotional intelligence and deep commitment to personal growth. Stephen's memoir is, "The Novice: How I Became a Buddhist Monk, Why I Quit and What I Learned," and his guide to mindful reflection is entitled “It Begins with Silence.” Currently residing outside Montreal with his wife, step-daughter, and two cats, Stephen continues to share his expertise and his stories with anyone who is committed to exploring and enhancing their inner self and their place in the world.

No man ever steps in the same river twice for it's not the same river and it's not the same man." - Heraclitus In this episode, Ana Melikian takes us on a philosophical journey through the concept of change and how it shapes our mindsets and our world. Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the MINDSET ZONE, Ana delves into ancient Greek philosophy to explore varying perspectives on change. Is change an illusion, as some philosophers argue, or is it a constant flow, as suggested by others? Ana introduces us to fascinating philosophical debates involving figures like Perimenides and Heraclitus—the former believing nothing truly changes and the latter asserting that everything is in constant flux. However, Ana doesn't stop there. She highlights the intriguing middle ground proposed by philosopher Empedocles, who suggested that both perspectives are valid. Drawing from this idea, Ana inspires listeners to transcend seeming contradictions in their own lives. By creatively mixing our strengths and weaknesses like an artist blends colors, we can transform our mindsets and achieve our desired outcomes. Gain fresh insights into the nature of change and discover practical ways to apply these age-old philosophies to your modern life. It's a thought-provoking episode that promises to expand what's possible for you. Let's dive in! This week on the MINDSET ZONE podcast: 00:00 Introduction 01:15 The Philosophy of Change 02:32 Ancient Philosophers on Change 04:54 Heraclitus and the Concept of Constant Change 07:30 Empedocles' Third Option 09:49 Applying Philosophical Ideas to Personal Change 11:34 Conclusion and Resources Meet Your Host: Ana Melikian, Ph.D., advises leaders on how to amplify impact while avoiding burnout.

Knowing that relapse is common and even a part of the change process helps you move forward." - Ana Melikian, Ph.D. In this episode, the host, Ana Melikian, delves into the complexities of learning and change, especially how we can learn from our mistakes and missteps. Ana highlights an error she made on the show regarding the stages of change as conceptualized by psychologists Prochaska, Norcross, and DiClemente, and uses it as a teaching moment to underline the importance of embracing imperfection. Ana revisits the six stages of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and recycling (learning from relapse), clarifying the sixth stage. She emphasizes that relapse is a natural part of change and can be a powerful learning opportunity. Through personal anecdotes and references to past episodes, Ana encourages listeners to build resilience to failure. She discusses the importance of seeing relapse as an inevitable part of the journey towards lasting change and urges everyone to keep pushing forward despite setbacks. Ana concludes with a call to action for listeners to reflect on how these concepts can be applied in their lives to foster personal growth and positive transformation. Let's dive in!

BIG IDEA #3: There is a simple method that you can learn (the PIE Method) that can catalyze any program of self-development you decide to do.

Growing up in Portugal, Ana Melikian was always curious about personal development, trying to understand herself and the rest of the world.

Today she is inspiring people to achieve their best potential as a coach, speaker, and podcast host. Building on her 20+ years of experience working in human potential, Ana is the host of the MINDSET ZONE podcast.

I have a special treat for you. I invited the brilliant host of MINDSET ZONE podcast, Ana Melikian, to chat about Mindset, Strategy, and Implementation. Not only is Ana a gifted coach and accomplished scholar, she's also pioneering success for new coaches as the Director of Education for Book Yourself Solid®. First, we explore about how our mindsets influence our relationships, career, and success (which is why I knew she'd be a perfect fit for my show). However, that's just ONE piece of the puzzle. To create real, sustainable, and lasting change, it's up to us to take action with an aligned strategy and an implementation plan that works for us. Going deeper, we uncover WHY... what motivates her success as well as her clients? Born from a lyric in a famous portuguese song, Life is two days, and the first we spend waking up, we dive deep into what it means to wake up (and how we have multiple "wake ups" in our life) and then decide what to do about it. Doors close; windows open, and Ana is a true master of waking up and taking aligned action.

Her podcast MINDSET ZONE is featured in The Huffington Post “15 Podcasts That Will Leave You Pondering Life’s Big Questions,” and during its launch, reached #1 in iTunes’ New & Noteworthy in Business, Management & Marketing, Health, Self-Help, Education, and Training. There are so many coaches these days that finding the right one is truly like finding a needle in the haystack. Ana Melikian, host of the MINDSET ZONE podcast and CEO of AMAZE Coaching, hated the idea of marketing and selling, but felt like if other coaches are doing it and they are making a difference in people's lives, then she can do the same. When she reframed her mindset so that it was just a way of communicating the message, she started to see things from a different perspective. Ana’s mission is making a difference by helping other coaches really create an impact and for them to have a bigger ripple effect that will make a bigger difference.

Women Rocking Wall Street - A podcast dedicated to women in financial services
Ana Melikian: Keeping an Open Mind You can imagine my excitement when a fellow podcaster agreed to be this week’s guest on Women Rocking Wall Street! Ana Melikian is the brains behind Mindset Zone, a podcast designed to help us all cultivate a “growth” mindset that fosters learning and new possibilities. The concept of fixed vs. growth mindset comes from psychologist Carol Dweck. In her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she explains why people succeed or fail based on a closed or open frame of mind. Ana says it’s particularly important for entrepreneurs to keep a growth mindset. For instance, some business owners may say to themselves, “I’m not good at sales. I just wasn’t born with that skill.” But having this fixed, limited way of thinking can be detrimental to a business. Even if you aren’t selling products, you’re still selling your services as a business owner. So don’t sell yourself short! Our beliefs can determine who we are and what we achieve, so remember never to limit them! If you assume you won’t be good at something, then you’re closing the door to a possible opportunity in your career and life. Let’s say you tell yourself you’re bad at art, even though you’ve never really tried to draw. How do you know you’re bad? You may not become a famous artist, but you could pick up a new skill or hobby with a little effort and expand your mindset. Viewing it as “I was born with this skill/I wasn’t born with this skill” doesn’t foster growth. Rather, changing your mindset to “I have a choice” can help you find unexpected opportunities. To quote Viktor Frankl: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” To get in touch with Ana and learn more about her podcast, visit Mindset.zone. Join me next week with guest Amy Glynn, president of Pension Resource Institute. Have a great week!
