In this episode, I reflect on the first six months of 2025 and how I unpack them before setting goals for the remaining six months of the year. It's essential to acknowledge our resilience and the ways we responded during challenging times. Instead of focusing solely on external validation, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own internal growth and the lessons they have learned. There is this idea of a "gap" between our lofty goals and the subconscious beliefs that may hold us back. This gap can manifest as self-doubt, procrastination, or a fear of visibility. Our subconscious mind plays a crucial role in shaping our results, and if our thoughts do not align with our aspirations, we may inadvertently sabotage our progress. In the episode, I share a series of reflective prompts to help listeners identify the stories they tell themselves, the emotions tied to their goals, and the identities they reinforce through their self-talk. By bringing awareness to these patterns, we can begin to rewire our beliefs and align our thoughts with our desired outcomes.

What happens when AI meets the human mind in the world of thought leadership? In this special compilation episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Bill Sherman brings together four voices at the forefront of AI and innovation: Jen Cohen of Toyota Research Institute, Stephanie Grayson a Content Marketing Leader and Thought Leadership Advisor, Amelia Ross of Primer AI, and Spencer Ante, formerly of Meta. Each offers a powerful, firsthand take on how AI is changing the way we lead, communicate, and make decisions. Jen Cohen explores how AI can amplify—rather than replace—human potential. At Toyota, she's seen how automation can unlock joy and confidence, from safe driving to elder care. For Cohen, AI is about purpose, empathy, and enabling people to thrive through their “ikigai.” Stephanie Grayson shares how AI is becoming an essential research partner in the world of B2B thought leadership. But she also flags real risks—from bias to hallucinations—and warns that without humans in the loop, AI can damage brand trust faster than it can build it. Amelia Ross breaks down how natural language processing (NLP) can make sense of real-time chaos, like the war in Ukraine. She reveals how AI-driven insights helped governments and companies cut through disinformation and find clarity in crisis—demonstrating the societal power of smart content strategy. And Spencer Ante takes us to the edge of the AI frontier, where generative tools like ChatGPT are reshaping not just how we work, but how we think. A former investigative journalist, he calls on business leaders to collaborate with AI—not fear it—and to focus on managing truth, training systems, and preserving human creativity and empathy. From content to ethics, strategy to scalability, this episode is a must-listen for anyone leading in a world shaped by machines—and guided by human insight. Four Key Takeaways: • AI should be used to amplify human capability, not replace it. Whether in automated driving or elder care, AI can remove risk and enhance joy—while preserving purpose and human involvement. • Thought leadership must remain human-led and carefully validated. AI is a powerful research assistant, but without human oversight, it risks spreading misinformation and damaging trust. • AI-driven NLP can turn unstructured real-time data into actionable insight, helping organizations cut through disinformation and respond quickly to fast-changing global events. • AI won't replace human creativity—it will augment intelligence. Leaders must learn to collaborate with AI tools, supervise them, and guide them with empathy and strategy.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the battle between artisanal, handcrafted, organic content and machine-made. The Etsys versus the Amazons. We’re talking specifically about the use of AI to make stuff. Katie, you had some thoughts and some things you’re wrestling with about this topic, so why don’t you set the table, if you will. Katie Robbert – 00:22 It’s interesting because we always talk about people first and AI forward and using these tools. I feel like what’s happened is now there’s a bit of a stigma around something that’s AI-generated. If you used AI, you’re cheating or you’re shortcutting or it’s no longer an original thought. I feel like in some circumstances that’s true. However, there are other circumstances, other situations, where using something like generative AI can perhaps get you past a roadblock. For example, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, please go ahead and download our free AI strategy kit. The AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, which you can find at TrustInsights AIkit, I took just about everything I know about running Trust Insights and I used generative AI to help me compile all of that information. Katie Robbert – 01:34 Then I, the human, went through, refined it, edited, made sure it was accurate, and I put it all into this kit. It has frameworks, examples, stories—everything you could use to be successful. Now I’m using generative AI to help me build it out as a course. I had a moment this morning where I was like, I really shouldn’t be using generative AI. I should be doing this myself because now it’s disingenuous, it’s not authentic, it’s not me because the tool is creating it faster. Then I stopped and I actually read through what was being created. It wasn’t just a simple create a course for me. Katie Robbert – 02:22 It was all my background and the Katie prompt and all of my refinements and expertise, and it wasn’t just a 2-second thing. I’ve been working on this for three straight days now, and that’s all I’ve been doing. So now I actually have an outline. But that’s not all I have. I have a lot more work to do. So I bring this all up to say, I feel like we get this stigma of, if I’m using generative AI, I’m cheating or I’m shortcutting or it’s not me. I had to step back and go, I myself, the human, would have written these exact words. It’s just written it for me and it’s done it faster. I’ve gotten past that “I can’t do it” excuse because now it’s done. Katie Robbert – 03:05 So Chris, what are your reactions to that kind of overthinking of using generative AI? Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 I have some very strong reactions and strong words for that sort of thinking, but I will put it in professional terms. We’re going to start with the 5 Ps. Katie Robbert – 03:25 Surprise, surprise. Christopher S. Penn – 03:27 What is the purpose of the content, and how do you measure the performance? If I write a book with generative AI, if you build a course with generative AI, does the content fulfill the purpose of helping a marketer or a business person do the thing? Do they deploy AI correctly after going through the TRIPS framework, or do they prompt better using the Repel framework, which is the fifth P—performance? If we make the thing and they consume the thing and it helps them, mission accomplished. Who cares who wrote it? Who cares how it’s written? If it accomplishes the purpose and benefits our customer—as a marketer, as a business person—that’s what we should be caring about, not whether AI made it or not. Christopher S. Penn – 04:16 A lot of the angst about the artisanal, handcrafted, organic, farm-raised, grass-fed content that’s out there is somewhat narcissistic on behalf of the marketers. I will say this. I understand the reason for it. I understand the motivation and understand the emotional concern—holy crap, this thing’s doing my job better than I do it! Because it made a course for me in 4 hours, it made a book for me in 2 hours, and it’s as good as I would have done it, or maybe better than I would have done it. There is that element of, if it does it, then what do I do? What value do I bring? You said it perfectly, Katie. It’s your ideas, it’s your content, it’s your guidance. Christopher S. Penn – 05:05 No one in corporate America or anywhere says to the CEO, you didn’t make these products. So Walmart, this is just not a valid product because the CEO did not handcraft this product. No, that’s ridiculous. You have manufacturers, you have subcontractors, you have partners and vendors that make the thing that you, as the CEO, represent the company and say, ‘Hey, this company made this thing.’ Look, here’s a metal scrubby for your grill. We have proven as consumers, we don’t actually care where it’s made. We just want it faster, cheaper, and better. We want a metal scrubby that’s a dollar less than the last metal scrubby we bought. So that’s my reaction: the people who are most vociferous, understandably and justifiably, are concerned about their welfare. Christopher S. Penn – 05:55 They’re concerned about their prospects of work. But if we take a step back as business people—as marketers—is what we’re making helping the customer? Now, there’s plenty of use cases of AI slop that isn’t helping anybody. Clearly that’s not what we’re talking about. In the example we’re talking about here with you, Katie, we’re talking about you distilling you into a form that’s going to help the customer. Katie Robbert – 06:21 That was the mental hurdle I had to get over. Because when I took a look at everything I was creating, yes, it’s a shortcut, but not a cheat. It’s a shortcut in that it’s just generating my words a little bit faster than I might because I’m a slow writer. I still had to do all of the foundational work. I still had to have 25 years of experience in my field. I still have to have solid, proven frameworks that I can go back to time and time again. I still have to be able to explain how to use them and when to use them and how to put all the pieces together. Generative AI will take a stab at it. If I don’t give it all that information, it’ll get it wrong. Katie Robbert – 07:19 So I still have to do the work. I still have to put all of that information in. So I guess what I’m coming to is, it feels like it’s moving faster, but I’m still looking at a mountain of work ahead of me in order to get this thing out the door. I keep talking about it now because it’s an accountability thing. If I keep saying it’s going to happen, people will start asking, ‘Hey, where was that thing you said you were going to do?’ So now I have to do it. So that’s part of why I keep talking about it now so that I’ll actually have follow through. I have so much work ahead of me. Katie Robbert – 07:54 Generative AI, if I want a good quality end product that I can stand behind and put my name on, Generative AI is only going to take it so far. I, the human, still have to do the work. Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 I had the exact same experience with my new book, Almost Timeless. AI assembled all of my words. What did I provide as a starting point? Five hours of audio recordings to start, which are in the deluxe version of the book. You can hear me ranting as I’m driving down the highway to Albany, New York. Audio quality is not great, but. Eighteen months of newsletters of my Almost Timeless newsletter as the foundation. Yes, generative AI created and wrote the book in 90 minutes. Yes, it rearranged my words. To your point, 30 years of technology experience, 18 months of weekly newsletters, and 5 hours of audio recording was the source material it drew from. Christopher S. Penn – 08:53 Which, by the way, is also a really important point from a copyright perspective, because I have proof—and even for sale in the deluxe edition—that the words are originally mine first as a human, as a tangible work. Then I basically made a derivative work of my stuff. That’s not cheating. That’s using the tools for what they’re best at. We have said in all of our courses and all of our things, these tools are really good at: extraction, summarization, classification, rewriting, synthesis, question answering. Generation is what they’re least good at. But every donkey in the interest going, ‘Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.’ No, that’s the worst thing you can possibly use it for. Christopher S. Penn – 09:35 But if you say, ‘Here are all the raw ingredients. I did the work growing the wheat. I just am too tired to bake the bread today.’ Machine, bake the bread for me. It does, but it’s still you. And more importantly, to the fifth P, it is still valuable. Katie Robbert – 09:56 I think that’s where a lot of marketers and professionals in general—that’s a mental hurdle that they have to get over as well. Then you start to go into the other part of the conversation. You had started by saying people don’t care as long as it’s helpful. So how do we get marketers and professionals who are using Generative AI to not just spin up things that are sort of mediocre? How do we get them to actually create helpful things that are still them? Because that’s still hard work. I feel like we’re sort of at this crossroads with people wanting to use and integrate Generative AI—which is what the course is all about—how to do that. There’s the, ‘I just want the machine to do it for me.’ Katie Robbert – 10:45 Then there’s the, ‘but I still want my stamp on it.’ Those are sometimes conflicting agendas. Christopher S. Penn – 10:54 What do you always ask me, though, all the time in our company, Slack? Did you run this by our ICP—our ideal customer profile? Did you test this against what we know our customers want, what we know their needs are, what we know their pain points are, all the time, for everything. It’s one of the things we call—I call—knowledge blocks. It’s Lego, it’s made of data. Say, ‘Okay, we’ve got an ideal customer profile.’ Hey, I’ve got this course’s ideal customer profile. What do you think about it? Generated by AI says, ‘That’s not a bad idea, but here are your blind spots.’ There’s a specific set of prompts that I would strongly recommend anybody who’s using an ideal customer profile use. They actually come from coding. Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 It goes like this: What’s good, if anything, about my idea? If there’s nothing good, say so. What’s bad about my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing bad, say so. What’s missing from my idea, if anything? If there’s nothing, say so. What’s unnecessary from my idea, if nothing, say so. Those four questions, with an ideal customer profile, with your idea, solve exactly that problem. Katie, is this any good? Because generative AI, if you give it specific directions—say, ‘Tell me what I’m doing wrong here’—it will gladly tell you exactly what you’ve done wrong. Katie Robbert – 12:16 It’s funny you bring that up because we didn’t have this conversation beforehand. You obviously know the stuff that I’m working on, but you haven’t been in the weeds with me. I did that exact process. I put the outline together and then I ran it past our ideal customer profile, actually our mega. We’ve created a mega internal one that has 25 different profiles in it. I ran it past that, and I said, ‘Score it.’ What am I missing? What are the gaps? Is this useful? Is it not? I think the first version got somewhere between a 7 to 9 out of 10. That’s pretty good, but I can do better. What am I missing? What are the gaps? What are the blind spots? Katie Robbert – 12:56 When it pointed out the things I was missing, it was sort of the ‘duh, of course that’s missing.’ Why wouldn’t I put that in there? That’s breathing air to me. When you’re in the weeds, it’s hard to see that. At the same time, using generative AI is having yourself, if you’re prompting it correctly, look over your own shoulder and go, ‘You missed a spot. You missed that there.’ Again, it has to be your work, your expertise. The original AI kit I used 3 years, 52 weeks a year—so whatever, 150 posts to start—plus the work we do at Trust Insights, plus the frameworks, plus this, plus that, on all stuff that has been carried over into the creation of this course. Katie Robbert – 13:49 So when I ask generative AI, I’m really asking myself, what did I forget? What do I always talk about that isn’t in here? What was missing from the first version was governance and change management communication. Because I was so focused on the tactical. Here’s how you do things. I forgot about, But how do you tell people that you’re going to do the thing? It was such an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. How could I possibly forget that? Because I’m human. Christopher S. Penn – 14:24 You’re human, and humans are also focus engines. We are biologically focus engines. We look at a thing: ‘Is that thing going to eat me or not?’ We have a very hard time seeing the big picture, both metaphorically and literally. We especially are super bad at, ‘What don’t we see in the picture?’ What’s not in this picture? We can’t. It’s just one of the hardest things for us to mentally do. Machines are the opposite. Machines, because of things—latent training, knowledge training, database search, grounding, and the data that we provide—are superb at seeing the big picture. Sometimes they really have trouble focusing. ‘Please write in my tone of voice.’ No, by the way. It’s the opposite. Christopher S. Penn – 15:09 So paired together, our focus, our guidance, our management, and the machine’s capability to see the big picture is how you create great outputs. I’m not surprised at all by the process and stuff that I said essentially what you did, because you’re the one who taught it to me. Katie Robbert – 15:27 It’s funny, one of the ways to keep myself in check with using generative AI is I keep going back to what would the ICP say about this? I feel having that tool, having that research already done, is helping me keep the generative AI focused. We also have written out Katie’s writing style. So I can always refer back to what would the ICP say? Is that how Katie would say it? Because I’m Katie, I could be, ‘That’s not how I would say it.’ Let me go ahead and tweak things. Katie Robbert – 16:09 For those of us who have imposter syndrome, or we overthink or we have anxiety about putting stuff out in public because it’s vulnerable, what I found is that these tools, if prompted correctly, using your expertise—because you have it. So use it. Get you past that hurdle of, ‘It’s too hard.’ I can’t do it. I have writer’s block. That was where I was stuck, because I’ve been hearing you and Kelsey and John saying, ‘Write a book, do a course, do whatever.’ Do something. Do anything. For the love of God, do something. Let me do it. Generative AI is getting me over that hurdle where now I’m looking at it, ‘That wasn’t so bad.’ Now I can continue to take it. Katie Robbert – 16:55 I needed that push to start it. For me. For some people, they say, ‘I can write it, and then generative AI can edit it.’ I’m someone who needs that push of the initial: ‘Here’s what I’m thinking: Can you write it out for me, and then I can take it to completion?’ Christopher S. Penn – 17:14 That’s a mental thing. That is a very much a writing thing. Some people are better editors than writers. Some people are better writers than editors. Rare are the people who are good at both. If you are the person who is paralyzed by the blank page, even a crap prompt will give you something to react to. Generative alcohol. A blog post might be marketing. You’ll look at it and go, ‘This is garbage.’ Oh my God. It changed this. Has changed this. Change this. By the time you’re done reacting to it, you did. That, to me, is one of the great benefits of these tools is to: Christopher S. Penn – 17:48 It’s okay if it does a crappy job on the first draft, because if you are a person who’s naturally more of an editor, you can be, ‘Great.’ That is awful. I’m going to go fix that. Katie Robbert – 17:58 As much as I want to say I’m a better writer, I’m actually a better editor. I think that once I saw that in myself as my skill set, then I was able to use the tools more correctly because now I’m going through this 40-page course outline, which is a lot. Now I can edit it because now I actually know what I want, what I don’t want. It’s still my work. Christopher S. Penn – 18:25 That is completely unsurprising to me because if we think about it, there’s a world of difference in skill sets between being a good manager and being a good individual contributor. A good manager is effectively in many ways a good editor, because you’re looking at your team, looking at your people, looking at the output, saying, ‘Let’s fix this. Let’s do this a little bit better. Let’s do this a little less.’ Being good at Generative AI is actually being a good manager. How do I delegate properly? How do I give feedback and things like that? The nice thing is, though, you can say things to Generative AI that would get you fired by HR if you send them to a human. Christopher S. Penn – 19:01 For people who are better managers than individual contributors, of course it makes sense that you would use AI. You would find benefit to having AI do the first draft and saying, ‘Let me manage you. Let me help you get this right.’ Katie Robbert – 19:15 So, Chris, when you think about creating something new with Generative AI, what side of the conversation do you fall on? Do you create something and then have Generative AI refine it, or what does your process look like? Christopher S. Penn – 19:36 I’ve been talking about this for five years, so I’m finally going to do it. This book, Beyond Development Rope, about private social media communities. I’ve mentioned it, we’ve done webinars on it. Guess what I haven’t done? Finish it. So what am I going to do over the holiday weekend? Christopher S. Penn – 19:53 I’m going to get out my voice recorder and I’m going to look at what I’ve done so far because I have 55 pages worth of half-written, various versions that all suck and say, ‘Ask me questions, Generative AI, about my outline. Ask me what I’ve created content for. Ask me what I haven’t created content for. Make me a long list of questions to answer.’ I’m going to get my voice recorded. I’m going to answer all those questions. That will be the raw materials, and then that gets fed back to a tool like Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to say, ‘Great, you got my writing style guide. You’ve got the outline that we agreed upon.’ Reassemble my words using as many of them verbatim as you can. Write the book. Christopher S. Penn – 20:38 That’s exactly what I did with Almost Timeless. I said, ‘Just reassemble my words.’ It was close to 600,000 words of stuff, 18 months of newsletters. All it had to do was copy-paste. That’s really what it is. It’s just a bunch of copy-pasting and a little bit of smoothing together. So I am much more that I will make the raw materials. I have no problem making the raw materials, especially if it’s voice, because I love to talk and then it will clean up my mess. Katie Robbert – 21:11 In terms of process. I now have these high-level outlines for each of the modules and the lessons, and it’s decent detail, but there’s a lot that needs to be edited, and that’s where, again, I’m finding this paralysis of ‘this is a lot of work to do.’ Would you suggest I do something similar to what you’re doing and record voice notes as I’m going through each of the modules and lessons with my thoughts and feedback and what I would say, and then give that back to Generative AI and say, ‘Fix your work.’ Is that a logical next step? Christopher S. Penn – 21:49 I would do that. I would also take everything you’ve done so far and say, ‘Make me a list of 5 questions per module that I need to answer for this module to serve our ICP well.’ Then it will give you the long list. You just print out a sheet of paper and you go, ‘Okay, questions,’ and turn the voice. Question 7: How do I get adoption for people who are resistant to AI? Let me think about this. We can’t just fire them, throw them in a chipper shredder, but we can figure out what their actual fears are and then maybe try to address them. Or let’s just fire them. Katie Robbert – 22:25 So you really do listen to me. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 That list of questions, if you are stuck at the blank page, ‘Here I can answer questions.’ That’s something you do phenomenally well as a manager. You ask questions and you listen to the answers. So you’ve got questions that it’s given you. Now you can help it provide the answers. Katie Robbert – 22:49 Interesting. I like that because I feel another stigma. We get into with generative AI is that we have to know exactly what the next step is supposed to be in order to use it properly. You have to know what you’re doing. That’s true to a certain extent. It’s more important that you know the subject matter versus how to use the tool in a specific way. Because you can say to the tool, ‘I don’t know what to do next. What should I do?’ But if you don’t have expertise in the topic, it doesn’t matter what it tells you to do, you can’t move forward. That’s another stigma of using generative AI: I have to be an expert in the tool. Katie Robbert – 23:36 It doesn’t matter what I know outside of the tool. Christopher S. Penn – 23:40 One of the things that makes people really uncomfortable is the fact that these tools in two and a half years have gone from face rolling. GPT-4 in January 2023. For those who are listening, I’m showing a chart of the Diamond GPQA score, which is human-level difficult questions and answers that AI engines are asked to answer 2 and a half years later. Gemini 2.5 from April 2025. Now answers above the human PhD range. In 2 and a half years we’ve gone from face-rolling moron that can barely answer anything to better than a PhD at everything properly prompted. So you don’t need to be an expert in the tool? Absolutely not. You can be. What you have to be an expert in is asking good questions and having good ideas. Yes, subject matter expertise sometimes is important. Christopher S. Penn – 24:34 But asking good questions and being a good critical thinker. We had a case the other day. A client said, ‘We’ve got this problem.’ Do you know anything about it? Not a thing. However, I’m really good at asking questions. So what I did was I built a deep research prompt that said, ‘Here’s the problem I’m trying to solve.’ Build me a step-by-step tutorial from this product’s documentation of how to diagnose this problem. It took 20 minutes. It came back with the tutorial, and then I put that back into Gemini and said, ‘We’re going to follow the step-by-step.’ Tell me what to do. I just copied and pasted screenshots. I asked dumb questions, and unlike a human, ‘That’s nice. Let me help you with that.’ Christopher S. Penn – 25:11 When I was done, even though I didn’t know the product at all, I was able to fulfill the full diagnosis and give the client a deliverable that, ‘Great, this solved my problem.’ To your point, you don’t need to be an expert in everything. That’s what AI is for. Be an expert at asking good questions, being an expert at being yourself, and being an expert at having great ideas. Katie Robbert – 25:39 I think that if more people start to think that way, the tools themselves won’t feel so overwhelming and daunting. I can’t keep up with all the changes with generative AI. It’s just a piece of software. When I was having my overthinking moment this morning of, ‘Why am I using generative AI? It’s not me,’ I was also thinking, ‘It’s the same thing as saying, why am I using a CRM when I have a perfectly good Rolodex on my desk?’ Because the CRM is going to automate. It’s going to take out some of the error. Katie Robbert – 26:19 It’s going to—the use cases for the CRM, which is what my manual Rolodex, although it’s fun to flip, doesn’t actually do a whole lot anymore—and it’s hard to maintain. Thinking about generative AI in similar ways—it’s just a tool that’s going to help me do the thing faster—takes a lot of that stigma off of it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:45 If you think about it in business and management terms, can you imagine saying to another CEO, ‘Why do you have employees?’ You should do all by yourself? That’s ridiculous. You hire a problem solver—maybe it’s human, maybe it’s machine—but you hire for it because it solves the problem. You only have 24 hours in a day, and you’d like 16 of them with your dog and your husband. Katie Robbert – 27:12 I think we need to be shedding that stigma and thinking about it in those terms, where it’s just another tool that’s going to help you do your job. If you’re using it to do everything for you and you don’t have that critical thinking and original ideas, then your stuff’s going to be mediocre and you’re going to say, ‘I thought I could do everything.’ That’s a topic for a different day. Christopher S. Penn – 27:34 That is a topic for a different day. But if you are able to think about it as though you were delegating to another person, how would you delegate? What would you have the person challenge you on? Think about it as you say: It’s a digital version of Katie. I think it’s a great way to think about it because you can say, ‘How would I solve this problem?’ We often say when we’re doing our own stuff, ‘How would you treat Trust Insights if it was a client?’ I wouldn’t defer maintenance on our mail server for 3 years. Katie Robbert – 28:13 Whoopsies. Christopher S. Penn – 28:15 It’s exactly the same thing with AI. So that stigma of, I’m feeding, somehow you are getting to bigger, better, faster, cheaper, and better. Probably cheaper than you would without it. Ultimately, if you’re using it well, you are delivering better performance for yourself, for your customers—which is what really matters—and making yourself more valuable and freeing up your time to make more stuff. So, real simple example: this book that I’ve been sitting on for five years, I’m going to crank that out in probably a day and a half of audio recordings. Does that help? I think the book’s useful, so I think it’s going to help people. So I almost have a moral obligation to use AI to get it out into the world so it can help people. That’s a, that’s kind of a re— Christopher S. Penn – 29:04 A reframe to think about. Do you have a moral obligation to help the world with your knowledge? If so, because you’re not willing to use AI, you’re doing the world a disservice. Katie Robbert – 29:19 I don’t know if I have an obligation, but I think it will be helpful to people. I am. I’m looking forward to finishing the course, getting it out the door so that I can start thinking about what’s next. Because oftentimes when we have these big things in front of us, we can’t think about what’s next. So I’m ready to think about what’s next. I’m ready to move on from this. So for me personally, selfishly, using generative AI is going to get me to that ‘what’s next’ faster. Christopher S. Penn – 29:49 Exactly.

Warum reden Menschen schlecht über andere – besonders dann, wenn sie selbst Verantwortung übernehmen müssten? In dieser Folge sprechen Helen und Wiebke Lüth –Deutschlands erste NLP Master-Trainerin und Coach, Bestsellerautorin, Unternehmerin – über subtile Schuldzuweisungen, offene Vorwürfe im Team und den Wunsch nach Harmonie, der uns oft sprachlos macht. Wie findest du innere Ruhe, wenn dich jemand vor anderen bloßstellt? Was kannst du tun, wenn du zwischen den Fronten stehst und es einfach nur „friedlich“ haben willst? Mit Feingefühl, Humor und viel NLP zeigen Helen und Wiebke neue Blickwinkel für den souveränen Umgang mit Konflikten – ganz ohne Drama.

We made it to Episode 100 - and we're only just getting started. In this milestone episode, Adam and the team reflect on the journey so far, what's changed (and what hasn't), and the lessons that have stuck along the way. This one is about authenticity, people pleasing, emotional masks, and the price of pretending to be someone you're not - whether that's to keep the peace, fit in with old mates, or live up to a version of yourself that no longer exists. From headbutting strangers in a bar at 45 to drinking because “it's what the lads do,” this episode unpacks the hidden cost of living out of alignment. We explore boundaries, belief systems, and how your ego might be keeping you stuck. You'll hear everything from emotional acceptance to visualisation work, Paul Daniels references, and why your best self might just be clearing his throat in the next room - hopefully not while wearing golf shoes and downing Jägerbombs at 9am.

Description:  Ever wonder why your client keeps repeating the same patterns, even after doing all the "right" things? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a powerful framework I teach inside The Art and Skill of Coaching — one that helps you truly understand how your client thinks, and more importantly, how to help them change it. You'll learn the Internal Operating System model, a science-backed process inspired by CBT and NLP that reveals: How your client filters and interprets information Why emotions and behaviors aren't random (they're programmed!) Where to intervene for lasting change We'll break it down step-by-step, then walk through a real-world case of a client struggling with dating — so you can see exactly how to use this model in your own coaching sessions. If you're ready to go beyond surface-level coaching and start creating deep, sustainable change, this episode is for you.

Welcome to a mid-summer girl chat.

Send us a textMany people find that as they move through life that they have to shift gears…a new job, a new career, family, divorce, move. Many people are looking for that “new path” when they study NLP. As we prepare for these shifts, a great way to start is to develop a set of presuppositions and guiding questions to steer the change. This will ensure that the change will stay in place. This is the step before any planning or goal setting, or even belief changes.This episode is a 5-step process to help you develop these presuppositions and guiding questions. Support the show

Episode 275 - The Whisper Between SoulsSomewhere along the winding road of human evolution, we went from survival mode—clubbing each other over the head—to the wild, delicate act of pressing our faces together in the dark and calling it magic. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the strange, sacred, and sometimes hilarious art of the kiss. From first kisses that feel like emotional Russian roulette to the complex language of kisses as apology, contract, or silent rebellion—this is a deep dive into why we kiss, what we mean when we do, and what kissing reveals about our most primal human need: connection. A kiss can be love. It can be lust. It can be power, boredom, or simply the only thing left to say when words fall apart. Join them for a heartfelt, tongue-in-cheek reflection on one of the most universal (and utterly awkward) expressions of closeness. Because sometimes, the things we can't say out loud come out in the whisper between souls.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

A special interview with author Albert Bramante on his book “Rise Above The Script: Confronting Self Doubt and Mastering Self Sabotage for Performing Artists.” ==========================================

Building Ask Mona Before the AI BoomMarion co-founded Ask Mona in 2017 with the goal of making culture more interactive and accessible by enabling conversations with artworks. Back then, they used custom-built NLP tools, and the idea of combining AI and culture was seen as niche. Today, Ask Mona works with major cultural institutions worldwide, leveraging generative AI to help organizations personalize content and better engage with audiences.Curiosity as a Business CompassWhat began as a tool for museums has grown into a broader vision. Marion explains that curiosity has always been the core of their approach, whether it's asking questions about a painting, a travel destination, or even a bottle of wine. Realizing this opened up new markets in education, tourism, and consumer goods. Ask Mona's mission now spans any object or experience that sparks a desire to learn.Accessibility in Many FormsFor Marion, accessibility isn't just about physical access. It's symbolic too. Many people feel intimidated or excluded in cultural spaces. Ask Mona's tools aim to remove those barriers by letting users ask questions in their own words, via text or voice, and get tailored answers. This promotes a more inclusive experience, particularly for those who might not feel confident navigating traditional museum formats.Wearing Multiple Hats to Humanize TechMarion's work extends beyond entrepreneurship. As a lecturer, artist, and author, she approaches AI not just as a technical tool, but as a societal force. Her diverse roles allow her to both build and critique technology, emphasizing the importance of keeping human perspectives central in AI development. Her latest book explores how AI affects our attention and decision-making, urging reflection on how we use the tools we build.Championing Representation and Role ModelsMarion's biography of Alice Recoque, a forgotten French AI pioneer, is part of her mission to spotlight accessible role models in tech. She believes in showcasing diverse paths into the AI field, especially for women and people from non-technical backgrounds. Her own journey, rooted in the humanities, is a testament to the value of interdisciplinary contributions to the tech world.

The Difference That Makes the Difference: NLP and the Science of Positive Change by Josh Davis, Greg Prosmushkin https://www.amazon.com/Difference-that-Makes-Science-Positive/dp/1250349087 Take control of your life and create profound change today using NLP and the science of positive change! Learn why people resist change, why they sometimes embrace change, and how to lead change quickly and in lasting ways. It all comes down to finding the difference that makes the difference for each person and context. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) is great for finding that difference. NLP helps us understand what makes people tick. When we understand how they think, feel, and act in key situations, we have the raw material with which to make change happen, often quickly and profoundly. In the 1970s, a linguist and his partner studied the language patterns and nonverbal cues of great psychotherapists, as well as how people are affected by the systems they're part of. The two pinpointed key aspects of what enables human beings to change. Their findings formed the basis of NLP. Since then, NLP has often been taught to therapists and life coaches aiming to master one-on-one interactions in those contexts. When the lawyer Greg Prosmushkin discovered NLP, he realized how incredibly valuable these tools could be outside a therapy context. How to communicate with confidence, model excellence, and influence your own and others' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are useful for many people in many situations. Greg used NLP to make huge breakthroughs in his trials and to step into his own as an entrepreneur. In 2022, Greg met Josh Davis, PhD, a Columbia University PhD who studied psychology and neuroscience, and the Founder and Director of the Science-Based Leadership Institute. Josh is an NLP expert who grew up in the 1970s and 80s as the child of two pioneers in the field of NLP. He's an NLP native. He's been training others to use NLP for over a decade. Josh is also the internationally best-selling author of Two Awesome Hours, a science-based set of strategies to work less and get your most important work done. Greg and Josh set out to make NLP easily accessible for everyone. They show how the tools of NLP can be used by anyone in their daily work and personal lives, and connect these actionable tools to the science of change. The Difference that Makes the Difference is a result of their rigorous and dedicated collaboration. In this book, readers learn how to: -Communicate with confidence -Model excellence, to learn and master new skills -Influence their own and others' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in positive ways -and much more! You'll get: -Step-by-step instructions with tips -Guided prompts to follow that help you apply these time-tested tools to your own specific needs -Examples of how to use the tools in everyday situations -Simple explanations of the theory and science behind the tools -Clear explanations of why the tools are so powerful NLP has been time-tested for fifty years, but until now it has only been accessible for a select few. Books and methods of teaching NLP were complex because the subject matter was highly sophisticated and derived from the work of professional psychotherapists. Greg Prosmushkin and Josh Davis, PhD have spent a combined 35+ years studying and unlocking the value of NLP. Josh has been teaching these concepts and tools in specialized NLP trainings, as well as one-on-one and group coaching settings, to Fortune 500 audiences and beyond. They have been using these concepts and tools in their professional practices of trial law, entrepreneurship, and leadership development. They have made a careful study of how to make the complex simple to learn and apply. It's time to move past simply waiting and wishing for your life to be different―dive into the tools of NLP and the science behind change that supports those tools,

Kevin is a board-certified consulting hypnotist and NLP practitioner who specialises in working with shame, guilt, anxiety, and the often-silent trauma of sexual abuse, particularly female-on-male sexual assault. Kevin shares his personal journey into hypnosis, how his own lived experiences shaped his practice, and the importance of breaking the stigma around male victims of sexual trauma. This conversation also explores the complex overlap between narcissistic abuse and sexual abuse, and how hypnosis can be a powerful tool in helping survivors process and reclaim their identity and power. This is a must-listen episode for anyone interested in trauma-informed hypnotherapy, emotional healing, and the human capacity to transform pain into purpose. Connect with Kevin Moran:

This week we are re-running an episode from season 3:Neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, is the communication technique used by coaches and cult leaders alike.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the profound theme of self-reclamation and inner happiness with bestselling author, podcast host, and transformational coach Irina Shehovsov. From overcoming trauma and emotional wounds to cultivating joy from within, Irina offers grounded insights and practical habits for anyone feeling stuck, unworthy, or lost. This conversation is not about chasing external validation—it's about coming home to yourself.   About the Guest:Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life, a speaker, and the host of two podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life. She's also the #1 international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Irina helps women over 40 release toxic patterns, rediscover their identity, and rebuild a life of joy, worth, and peace. Through mindset, holistic healing, and spiritual tools like timeline therapy and NLP, she empowers others to believe healing is possible at any stage.   Key Takeaways: Self-reclamation starts with personal responsibility. You may not be at fault for past trauma, but healing begins when you own your present. Happiness is cultivated, not found. Daily practices like meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and mindful presence create the foundation for joy. Healing isn't passive. Time helps only when combined with intentional action and the right environment. You are worthy now. Many emotional wounds stem from a sense of unworthiness—Irina's work helps rewrite that belief. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It frees you to live in the present, no longer chained to past pain. Surroundings matter. Healing is amplified by positive people, conscious media, and nourishing routines.   Connect with Irina Shehovsov: Website: https://www.irinashehovsov.com/ YouTube: Happiness Academy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/re.claimyourlife/ Podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life Book: The Gift Inside on Amazon   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: DM Me HereTune to all our 15 podcasts: Healthy Mind Podcast NetworkSubscribe to Newsletter: Join HereJoin Community: Be Part of the Tribe   Stay Tuned and Follow Us!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – Reema Chatterjee | Avik Chakraborty #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #healingjourney #selfreclamation #innerpeace #forgiveness #worth

Ep. 145. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Albert Bramante—talent agent, psychologist, and all-around mind magician—to unpack the truth behind the inner critic, self-sabotage, and how we can rewrite the limiting stories we tell ourselves. We explore the link between childhood programming and adult behavior, the role of the shadow self in creative growth, and how hypnosis, NLP, and even body posture can help transform your self-concept.Albert shares actionable insights on reframing your inner dialogue, stepping into vulnerability, and using subconscious tools to unlock your potential. And we wrap it up by swapping real-life stories of times we almost got conned, proving that intuition and insight go a long way in both personal growth and street smarts.Segments:​00:00 — Introduction to the Inner Critic​05:15 — Understanding the Inner Critic​10:34 — Integrating the Shadow Self​15:14 — Facing Fears and Rewriting Stories​21:33 — Hypnosis and Rituals in Subconscious Work​26:57 — NLP and Language Patterns​30:17 — Posture and Self-Concept​38:57 — Vulnerability and AuthenticityAlbert's BioDr. Albert Bramante is a seasoned talent agent with more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Walden University.

The REAL Path to Self-Confidence: Why There's No "Blueprint" But Steps to Self-Assurity That Actually Work What This Episode Is Really About Let's get one thing straight right off the bat - there's no such thing as a confidence blueprint. If someone's selling you that, it's clickbait, pure and simple. But here's what I can give you: a real, honest look at self-assurity and how to build it from the ground up. You see, I've been where you are. I remember being at the peak of my confidence in my career - I couldn't do anything wrong, just knew I had it all figured out. Until I didn't. Something unexpected happened, boom, that confidence bloody went. Completely went. So where did it go? Well, stick around because I'll tell you about that. Self-Assurity vs The Confidence Myth Here's the thing about self-assurity - it's different from confidence. Self-assurance is being confident in the things you say and do because you're sure of your abilities. I love this little saying: being confident in your competence. Your competence is your abilities, isn't it? And when you're confident in your competence, you're self-assured. But it doesn't have to be in everything. If you haven't got the abilities, you can't be confident in them. That's where mastery comes in - doing what you know and knowing what you do. That's being confident in the things you say and do because you're sure of your abilities. There are people who know it but don't do it. And there are others who do what they don't know and think they're confident - but that's just overconfidence getting into the realms of stupidity. Becoming More Self-Assured You already have self-assurance - you just want a bit more. And that's all about knowing what you want. You need a target to aim for. If you know what you know, then you probably know what you don't know. Then you can decide what you want to know. What could you aim for? Maybe you want to be more social, deal with that social anxiety that's holding you back. Maybe you want to speak out more at meetings, express yourself in a group, maybe even do a podcast. Perhaps you want a better job, a promotion, more friends, a partner, or just to learn a particular skill. You name it, fill in the blank. The Process That Actually Works First question: Where the hell are we now? Where are we in relation to the thing we want? We need to know where we're starting from. Don't get overconfident and think you're further along than you are. Think about what qualities you have. Don't be shy about this - no one's going to read them. What do you know? What have you learned? What have you done before? What have other people said? Get a feeling for where you are now and all the good stuff you already have. Next question: What does what we want look like? And it's more than just looking. What would it look like when you've got it? What would you hear? How would that feel? You've got to know it feels right. Jump into the future and ask yourself - if I had it now, what would it feel like? What would it enable you to do? When you see the difference between where you are now and what it would look like, ask yourself: What do I need to bridge that gap? If this seems difficult, try this simple question: If this was really easy, what would that be like? Sometimes we overcomplicate things when the answer is right there. What You Need to Learn Everyone knows someone who's sure of themselves. They're grounded, strong, and they have that inner strength because they're sure of their abilities. So, what abilities do you need to learn? Where are you going to get them? Where are you going to learn them? Maybe it's getting the skill of talking, being able to open a conversation with somebody. That one little skill could change everything. Write these things down because you need to know what you need to learn. Start small. If you can do one small step, and you can because you want this, you know what it'll feel like, you've got the motivation, and if you master that one small step, you'll have confidence in your competence for that step. Taking Action That Counts Once you've got that goal in mind, you start taking action. It's an intuitive action, but also a thoughtful action. Continued action. As you do that, you become aware of where you are now because you've moved along the road toward your goal. You become flexible because you start thinking about what else you might need to learn. You're not rigid in your approach - you have flexibility because of your awareness and the action you're taking. You can also act as if you have it now. When you visualize yourself doing it, you'll know how you'll be in your physiology, how you'll walk, how you'll talk. You'll know your psychology, the way you think. The Ripple Effect Here's what's amazing - when you're aiming for this one thing and building self-assurance in this area, it generalises into other areas of your life. You become more self-assured in different areas you weren't even aware of. You might be working on being more social, but suddenly you're getting on better at work, leading things, contributing more in meetings, and making more friends. From Thinking to Doing If this has got you thinking, I want that thinking to turn into doing. Start with this program: Get it down on paper. Where are you? Where do you want to go? What would it look like? What do you need to learn? Start a program and schedule of learning those things. Don't just listen to this and go "Yeah, sounds really good, Paul. I know all this." No - go and do it. And if you need help, you know what to do. Email me at feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com. Share what you know, share your journey, share your adventure. When you tell other people what you've learned and how you're using what you've learnt, you become more self-assured. They get to know about it and you inspire them as well. You can even mentor someone - help them learn the things you've learned. The Truth About Blueprints This isn't a blueprint - never was going to be. I don't think there is a blueprint for self-confidence. But it is a way, a process of achieving self-assurity, being sure of yourself. And this process is adaptable and flexible to you. I've broken it down into simple steps, easy steps. But simple and easy steps still take effort and energy. Once you start making little inroads into those steps, your confidence starts to build, and those steps get bigger. You go from a crawl to a walk to a run and a skip and a hop. Then it spreads to different areas of your life and becomes unconscious.

Always consult a healthcare provider if you're unsure.     And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism So the longer podcast, and is there such a thing as a confidence blueprint? Really, I know I said so in the title, but if there was such a thing as a confidence blueprint, I think you'd just find it's clickbait. You know, think about it, the one and only way to confidence, hmm, yeah, I don't think so.   You see, I'm thinking about confidence, and it reminded me when I was one of the most confident people, confident Cloughie in my career. I was so confident, couldn't do anything wrong, I just knew, I just knew, until I wasn't. Something unexpectedly happened, and boom, that confidence bloody went, completely went.   But where did it go? And I'm going to talk to you about that a little bit later, right at the end. But you see, the title also says, steps to self-assurity. That sounds a little different.   So what's, what is self-assurity? Well, it's all about, I guess, being confident in the things that you say and do. Because you're just sure of your abilities. I think that's what self-assurity is, being confident in the things you say and do, because you're sure in your abilities.   And I've always put that down to something, I love this, this little saying, being confident in your competence, because your competence is your abilities, isn't it? And if you're confident in your competence, you're self-assured. But it doesn't have to be in everything, does it? Because if you haven't got the abilities, you can't be confident in them. But you can be a master, and we've talked about mastery before, doing what you know and knowing what you do.   That to me is then being confident in the things that you say and do, because you're sure of your abilities, because you are mastering the things that you do know, and you're actually doing them. And you know, there are some people who just, they know it, but they don't do it. And there are other people who do what they don't know, and they think they're confident, but that's just over-confident and getting onto, well, maybe the realms of stupidity.   So, let's just think now, becoming more self-assured, because you already have self-assurance, you just want a little bit more. And that's all about knowing what you want, isn't it? You need a target to aim for, because if you know what you know, you probably then, if you thought about it, know what you don't know. And then you can decide what you want to know.   It's getting in circles here. And when you set that target, you can start to learn. And then you become more confident in your competence, because you know what you're doing and doing what you know, because you're confident in the things that you now say and do, because you're sure of your abilities.   Wow, that went round, didn't it? So, what are the things you could aim for? Well, you could aim to be a therapist. Yay! I mean, I didn't aim to do that initially, but hey, I'm very confident in my abilities of being a therapist now. Yeah, so I'm self-assured.   And I think that comes, well, I know it comes across. But it could be so many other things. It could be to be more social.   You know, that social anxiety, holding you back. But if you were self-assured about you, you know, and had that self-assurance about yourself, what you say and do, then you could be more social. That leads to things like speaking out more, maybe at meetings, maybe expressing yourself in a group.   Maybe doing things like a podcast. Maybe you want to get a better job or get a promotion in your career. Maybe you'd like more friends.   See, I said plural, not a, you might want a special friend, but just more friends. Maybe you want a partner. Or maybe you just want to learn a particular skill.   You name it, you fill in the blank. Because these are all things we could aim for. Using what we know already and learn new ways.   But we need a target. We need an aim in mind. We need a bullseye.   So I keep saying so now, I don't know, where's that come from? I think we all experience unconfidence. And I don't know if that's a word, but I know what I think it means. When thinking about a goal, when thinking about an aim in mind, why is that? My thoughts are, well, we have to admit to ourselves that we haven't got there.   And here's the thing when we say things like we haven't got there, and we get that that little bit of guilt or sadness or whatever it is, we missed the word off yet. We have to admit that we haven't got there yet. Oh, that sounds different.   Yeah, so we just need an aim. Know that we haven't got there yet. And that's the whole point of doing this because we haven't got there yet, but we will.   Now, if this thing about self-assurity is a big thing, self-confidence is a big thing, and it is causing you distress, maybe panic and things like that, then I think you really ought to go and see a therapist. That would be my advice. A one-to-one therapist, get in there, get it sorted.   You know what I say, find someone who's a master hypnotist, master practitioner of NLP, timeline therapy, and boom, they'll help you really, really quickly. Or if it's not as big as that, and it's just you want some help to do it by yourself, obviously, I've got my supreme inner confidence program, paulcloughonline.com. I think it's confidence, it's a slash confidence, but you'll find it if you go to the front sheet, the landing page. But that's for dealing with it at an unconscious level, the things where your unconscious mind is trying to do something and it's not quite working, all that stuff.   But I'm not selling that. Well, I am, obviously, but this is not the sales pattern for that. But all I'm saying is there are, we've got a couple of things if this is really, really, really big.   But if it's not, and also, this will help you anyway. Either way, if it's big, just by thinking this through, doing this little process I'm thinking of, it will help you. It will loosen the model of your world.   It might even get you what you want there and then. So what are we going to do? Well, now we've set out our aim in mind, yeah? We've got this thing that we want to do. We want to learn.   We want to achieve, be able to, all that stuff. That thing about being and doing, more social, speaking out more, all that stuff, getting a partner, friends. So you have to think, I think, in questions.   I love questions. But first of all, let's ask the question, where the hell are we now? Where are we now in relation to the thing that we want? Because we need to know where we're start from. We don't want to get overconfident and think we're further along the line.   Well, I'm nearly there. Now, where are we now? And one way of when you think about where we are in relation to where you want to be, have, do, is to think about, well, what qualities do I have? Now, if you search it through the latter or the last sets of longer podcasts, there is one called my qualities. Also do hypnosis track on my qualities.   But don't be shy. Think of the qualities you have. No one's going to read them, so you can write them down.   Be assured about this. What qualities you have in relation to what you want. You know, what do you know? What have you learned? What have you done before? What have other people said? And just get a feeling for where you are now and all the good stuff that you have already.   That's that mastery, remember? Even if it was only one quality, I know you've got so much more than one quality. But if you just do that one quality, knowing what you do, doing what you know, you are a master of that one quality. But you've got more.   And just think for a moment. So we've done where we are now. We've done our list of qualities.   We may have listened to a hypnosis track. But then we have to ask our question. What does we want? I'll start that again.   What does what we want look like? And it's more than just looking like. But a lot of people say look like. A lot of people are quite visual.   But just think if you could visualize in any way, shape or form, whether it's 20-20 vision or just an awareness, what would it look like? That end result? You know, maybe you being more social, maybe you speaking out more, you having that better job, having more friends, a special friend, a partner, or learning to do a skill. What would that look like when you've got it? Because when you look like it and what would you hear? And how would that feel? Because you've got to know it feels right. Because if you know, you might think, I really want that.   But it doesn't feel right. And remember, this is what would it be like when you have it? Forget the how you're going to get there and you're not there yet. No, jump into the future, wherever that would be.   And go, if I had it now, what would it feel like? What would it be like? What would I see? Because I just want to make sure that that's exactly what you want. Yeah, I do want more friends. I would like to be able to speak up.   Because if I spoke up and I was speaking up with a self-assurity, it'd be like this, it'd be like that. And people would be smiling at me and they'd listen and I'd learn more and all that stuff. What would it enable you to do is another question.   And when you see the two, the difference where you are now to what it looked like, just maybe another simple question. Well, in that case, what do I need to bridge that gap? Because we're going to start to find the steps to go from now to then. And you might go, oh, Cloughie, this is so difficult.   You know, it's a bit difficult sometimes what it would be like. Oh, I don't know what I know. Yes, you do know what you know.   But here's another simple question. If this was really easy, what would that be like? Well, if it was really easy, I'd make all the steps just like this and I'd get a piece of paper and I'd write the steps down and work it out. Yeah.   So just make a note. What would this be like if it was easy? Where am I now? What are my qualities? Let's be honest. Let's not be shy.   Let's don't underestimate, but let's not overestimate. Let's be, you know, I've learned a lot in my life. And what does it look like if I got it now? Yeah, there you go.   Now we've started. So let's go back a little bit to self-assurity again. Everyone knows a person who is sure of themselves.   Yeah, they're grounded, aren't they? They're strong. They have that inner strength because they're sure of their abilities. So this is this thing, the difference between now and then, what are the abilities you need to learn? So you can then be confident in the things that you say and do because you're sure of your abilities, being confident in your competence.   So let's get them down. What abilities do you need? And then start to think of where are you going to get them? Where are you going to learn them? Now, if you want a little bit of help with this, because I want you to write those down, because you need to know the type of things you might need to learn. You know, if you wanted to do a particular thing for your job, you might need to learn another skill.   Maybe it's just getting a skill of talking, being able to open a conversation with somebody. That one little skill, opening a conversation, knowing that you've got things that you can talk about. We'll do that.   So you have to write those things down, but then think of a hashtag 449. It's not too far away. Listen to that, because that gives you all the steps you need to start putting it together.   Start small. And as you consider everything in hashtag 449, and then you know what you need, you think, okay, I know what I need now, but what's the smallest step I could do? Because if I can do one small step, and I can, because I want this, I know what it'll feel like, I've got the motivation, it's important to me, and it's only a small step. And if I master that one small step, I'll have that confidence in my competence to master.   And you see, once you've got that goal in mind, that thing that you want, and you do what I've said, you start taking action, and it's sort of intuitive action, but it's also thoughtful action, but you have to take action, and it's continued action. And as you do that, you become aware of where you are now, because you've moved along the road a little bit towards your goal. Where are you now? How much more have you got to do? Maybe there's some new things to learn, because you're now aware that you're on this path.   And maybe you think, oh, I've strayed a little bit. Oh, I didn't think about this one. So you then begin to become flexible, because you start to think, well, maybe if I learn this as well.   So you're not rigid in your approach. You have a flexibility in your approach, because of your awareness and the action you're taking. And because we did that little thing of, you know, what would it look like when you get the thing that you want? You could also act as if you have it now.   You know, when you visualise yourself doing it, you'll know how you'll be in your physiology, how you'll walk, how you'll talk. You'll know in your psychology, the way you think, and you'll know then you'll be confident in your competence. Be sure of what you know, what you say and do.   It's all there. You know, it's all adding to those qualities that we've made a note of. And then you'll start to skill stack.   And then what happens is, oh, I'm starting to move towards this target with more self-assurance, which is, I feel confident in my competence. I feel confident in myself now. You'll find that will generalise into other areas of your life.   So you become more self-assured in different areas that you weren't even aware of. It's amazing, this always happens. So you're aiming for this, but funny enough, I was only talking about social.   But you know what? I'm getting on so much better at work now. I'm leading things. Maybe I'm going to meetings and bringing things there.   Wow. All these things, you know, and actually I'm making more friends. I'm being more social.   Whatever it is, you'll find that other things just get better, get richer. There's that word again, richer. So here's the thing.   If this has got you thinking, I want that thinking into starting to do. Start doing. Start with the programme, this little programme of getting it down.   Where are you? Where do you want to go? What would it look like? What are the things you need to learn? Let's start a programme and a schedule of learning those things. Let's listen to hashtag 449 if you haven't listened to it already, or go and review it again, make some notes, take action, knowing what you want. You take action, you become aware, you're flexible, you're acting as if, all these things, skill stacking.   And that's all about doing. Don't just listen to this and go, yeah, all sounds really good, Paul. Yeah, I know all this.   No, go and do it. And if you need help, you know. If there's something you think, oh, this all makes such perfect sense, Cloughie, but I need a bit help in this area.   You know what you need to do. Just email me, feedback at personaldevelopmentunplugged.com. That's it. The other thing to do is, I don't know if I'm going to say share, but share what you know, share your journey, share your adventure.   Because when you tell other people what you've learned and how you're using what you learn, you become more self-assured because that's what just happens. And they get to know about it and you tend to inspire them as well. And as you get that more assurance, self-assurance, more self-confidence in your competence and everything else.   And as you share that with people, you know how much you've learned. It becomes a real solid platform, which is self-assurance and self-confidence. And if you want, you can mentor somebody as well.   Mentor someone, help them learn the things that you've learned. I mean, this isn't a blueprint, never was going to be a blueprint. I don't think there is a blueprint of self-confidence, a blueprint to confidence, but it is a way, a process of achieving self-assurity, self-confidence, being sure of yourself.   And it's just a process. And this process is adaptable. It's flexible to you, which is why I wanted to get it across to you because it is such a, it's an easy way.   I've broken it down into simple steps, easy steps. But the thing about simple and easy steps are they take effort though. They take energy.   But once you start to make little inroads into those little steps along the way, suddenly your confidence starts to build and those little steps get bigger. And you start from a little crawl to a walk to a run and a skip and a hop. And we're just having fun.   And then it spreads to different areas in your life. And you start to use this everywhere and it becomes unconscious. It's a wonderful thing.   It really is a wonderful thing. So please as I do share this with people, share this podcast, if you would, let's get everyone just feeling good about themselves in the right way. And in that way, this little old planet, this little old planet earth reaps a benefit, makes it a better place to live in for you, me and everyone else.   There you go. And I'm sure you've subscribed, followed, all that stuff, all that stuff, those stuffs, whatever it is, have fun and yeah, look up hashtag 449 and those hypnosis tracks. And if I can, I'll add on a little bit at the end to tell you where to get them.   Okay. So until the next time, my friend, you go with all the self-assurance you have bubbling up inside you. Go do it now.   Go fly my friend. So the 90 seconds of hypnosis tracks. Why have I put hypnosis tracks on a separate website? Well, it's so simple, really.   I want you to have them all in one place. So you can look through them all. You can find the particular one you want.   I've even made them downloadable. So you can put them on any of your playing devices that you prefer. You don't need wifi.   You don't need the iTunes or whatever. You can put them anywhere you like. You can even burn them onto disk if you want.   Where'd you get them? Well, there you go. I told you it's paulcloughonline.com forward slash podcast. If you're worried about your email address, please don't be because they stay totally safe with me.   I only use them to send you out that email and give you access. Simple as that. I send you a link, a special link so you and only you can access those hypnosis tracks because I want them just for you.   And the other thing about this is you've taken responsibility. I don't want to make these open to everyone, just random. You have taken responsibility to listen and be part of this community of personal development.   And I want to help you. I want to help you personally to get your dreams, your goals.
