Podcast appearances and mentions of Carol Dweck

Episode Summary: In this powerful and practical conversation, Lorraine Connell sits down with Noel Foy, a neuroeducator, executive function and anxiety coach, and author of A.B.C. Worry Free, to unpack the complicated relationship between anxiety, mindset, and learning. Noel opens up about her own journey with perfectionism and social anxiety and how those formative experiences shaped her work today with anxious students and overwhelmed parents. Together, Lorraine and Noel explore how language shapes our mental health, why teens and adults alike often fear failure, and how reframing our thinking can empower better decision-making. They highlight actionable strategies to manage stress, build executive function skills, and use neuroplasticity to shift from a defensive to an empowered mindset. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or student, this episode is filled with insight and tools to navigate anxiety with compassion and clarity.

In this episode, Lisa and Stephen discuss:Entrepreneurial mindset development for comprehensive student growthCareer readiness beyond traditional educational frameworksSoft skills as critical professional success indicatorsFamily's strategic role in cultivating adaptive thinking skillsKey Takeaways: Entrepreneurial skills can be intentionally developed through a framework of four interconnected pillars: growth mindset, grit, redefining failure, and seeking opportunities, all of which reshape how students approach challenges and growth.Embedding student-run business experiences within schools creates a powerful learning model that equips students with practical skills, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving beyond traditional academics.The idea of “follow your passion” is misleading, as true passion is cultivated through skill-building, consistent practice, and long-term commitment.Crafting a clear family mission and defined core values empowers teens with resilience and a decision-making framework for navigating personal and professional challenges. “We're not just churning out entrepreneurs. We are helping students think like entrepreneurs. So, this was about compiling, condensing, and then really synthesizing.” – Stephen CarterAbout Stephen Carter: Stephen Carter is the Director of Entrepreneurship at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, where he oversees a nationally recognized program with fifteen elective courses, a full certificate track, and six supporting student-run businesses.Stephen is also the founder of Seed Tree Group, where he works with K-12 Christian schools to develop entrepreneurial programs based around the model of redemptive entrepreneurship.His mission is to develop the entrepreneurial mindset in all learners, so they are radically transformed to impact their lives. His book, Teaching the Entrepreneurial Mindset, details the impact made on learners when they are given real-world, practical skills and a clear path to success.Episode References:Grit by Angela Duckworth: https://angeladuckworth.com/grit-book/Carol Dweck on How Growth Mindsets Can Bear Fruit in the Classroom: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/dweck-growth-mindsetsCareer Development Readiness Quiz: https://flourishcoachingco.com/quizGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Stephen:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seedtreegroupWebsite: http://seedtreegroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-carter-seedtree/Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

This week, we welcome Laura Clayton McDonnell, President of the Corporates Business Segment at Thomson Reuters. Laura shares her inspiring journey from corporate securities law to executive leadership at top technology companies, including Apple, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, and now Thomson Reuters. She discusses how her Silicon Valley upbringing and her family's immigrant experience have shaped her leadership style and commitment to innovation in the legal industry. Laura's personal purpose—rooted in values like courage, curiosity, and integrity—drives her mission to deliver measurable value to clients through legal technology and business transformation.The conversation highlights the rapid advancements in legal technology, with a special focus on the impact of generative AI and agentic AI in the legal sector. Laura explains how she stays ahead of legal tech trends by collaborating with internal teams, listening to customer feedback, and learning from her daughter, a practicing transactional lawyer. She emphasizes the importance of a growth mindset, continuous learning, and adaptability—qualities she honed during her time at Microsoft under Satya Nadella's leadership and through the teachings of Carol Dweck's “Growth Mindset.”Laura provides insights into how corporate legal, tax, and compliance departments are evolving from traditional cost centers to strategic business partners, thanks to innovative legal technology solutions from Thomson Reuters. She discusses how tools like Westlaw, Practical Law, Legal Tracker, and OneSource are helping legal professionals automate routine tasks, reduce contract review times by over 80%, and save millions on outside counsel spend. Laura notes that forward-thinking clients are not just adopting new legal tech tools—they are developing comprehensive strategies to transform business processes, training, and staffing for the future of legal work.The episode also explores the rise of alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) and the ongoing bifurcation of the legal market driven by technology adoption. Laura observes that general counsel are increasingly sophisticated in their approach, weighing cost, complexity, and the use of AI to achieve better outcomes. She stresses that legal technology is now essential for law firms and ALSPs alike, and that innovation and value delivery are key to staying competitive in the evolving legal landscape.Looking to the future, Laura predicts that predictive analytics, risk assessment, and cross-functional insights will become even more critical for legal, tax, and compliance professionals. She highlights the growing demand for skilled legal talent and the importance of ongoing training, ethical oversight, and building resilient, growth-oriented teams. Laura encourages legal industry leaders to prepare for a future where human expertise and advanced legal technology work together to drive strategic transformation and business success.For more information on legal technology trends, AI in the legal industry, and upcoming events, Laura invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn or visit Thomson Reuters.

"Liderazgo, mentalidad de crecimiento y foco: claves para el éxito personal y profesional"Tuvo jefes buenos y jefes malos, y por eso hoy se dedica a formar a los mejores líderes que necesitamos.En este episodio de El Limonero Podcast conversamos con Carlos Fernández, más conocido como Café, por las iniciales de su nombre. Carlos se ha especializado en acompañar a personas y organizaciones en sus procesos de liderazgo, propósito, mentalidad y transformación personal.Hablamos sobre el éxito y su definición, y cómo este concepto muchas veces se malinterpreta o se nos impone desde afuera. Carlos insiste en la importancia de conectar con el propósito personal y de entender que todos lo tenemos, aunque encontrarlo requiere foco y autoconocimiento.Y sobre ese foco, Carlos nos da herramientas muy útiles para cultivar y sostener la atención en lo que realmente importa.Otra parte fundamental del episodio gira en torno a la mentalidad de crecimiento, un concepto desarrollado por Carol Dweck y que Carlos explica con ejemplos muy cercanos: cómo influye en nuestras decisiones, en cómo enfrentamos los desafíos y en cómo podemos aplicarla a diferentes generaciones, desde los baby boomers hasta la generación Z.También reflexionamos sobre el entorno multicultural, la empatía generacional y cómo todo esto influye en la forma en que nos comunicamos dentro de una empresa u organización.Carlos nos invita a poner el foco en lo que él considera una habilidad clave para los tiempos que vivimos: la introspección. Mirar hacia adentro, identificar nuestras fortalezas, reconocer nuestras emociones y aprender a gestionarlas.Un episodio cargado de ideas valiosas para quienes están en procesos de cambio, liderazgo o simplemente buscan vivir con mayor propósito.

Listen to those three questions again - Can I Succeed? Do I Belong? Am I Loved? I'm tempted to feel those questions address the root issue of every human on earth. As I continue to research personal identity and how we as a culture seem to be more fragile and threatened than ever, I feel these questions are primary. So I had a conversation with Dr Gregory Walton. Greg is the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Labs. Dweck as in Carol Dweck, the legend of mindset. Greg is also a professor of psychology at Stanford. Much of Greg's research investigates psychological processes that contribute to major social problems. His research is supported by many foundations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As weighty as all this sounds, Greg's quest is to discover simple psychological shifts that build trust, belonging, and confidence. He's culminated his findings in a new book, titled Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts. So can addressing these huge questions be so simple? What I came to as we talked, was, yes, the answers can be simple, because they cut to the root cause issues of ourselves. But. I don't call them easy. Not at all. At the top of the show I pull this quote out from Greg, “An hour-long surgery can change your life forever. Is there any reason a precise psychological exercise can't do the same?” But going under the knife is a big decision. So is choosing to believe differently than you have.

Develop an Investment Mindset: Why This Tip Matters As a Junior Military Officer, your military experience has shaped how you think, lead, and solve problems. But when it comes to your next step, developing an investment mindset for a military transition can be just as important as your skill set. That's why Transition Tip #2 is: Develop an Investment Mindset. At Cameron-Brooks, we've seen this mindset make all the difference. It's about shifting your focus from the short-term to the long-term, from immediate comfort to future growth. In our recent episode, I sat down with Joel Junker and Tim Kirchner to dig into this idea and explain why it's so valuable. What Is an Investment Mindset? Joel explains that an investment mindset means viewing your career the same way you'd approach a financial investment. You wouldn't expect instant results from your retirement savings. Instead, you plan, stay patient, and make steady progress toward long-term returns. The same thinking applies to your career. You may need to pass on the “perfect” location or initial title if it means taking a role with greater development potential. It's about trusting the process, being intentional, and playing the long game. Why Delayed Gratification Pays Off During our conversation, Tim emphasized the importance of delayed gratification. It's tempting to focus on what feels good right now, like a higher starting salary or a shorter commute. But these short-term wins don't always lead to long-term success. Instead, think about where you want to be in five or ten years. What roles and experiences will help you get there? An investment mindset encourages you to choose a path that stretches you and helps you grow. Facing the Challenges of Transition We also discussed how the transition from the military to business can feel uncertain. The military offers structure, clarity, and control. Civilian careers often feel more open-ended. That uncertainty can trigger a need for control. Some JMOs rush into decisions simply to regain a sense of stability. However, these emotional decisions can work against your long-term goals. Joel pointed out that the key is preparation. When you understand your options, you can make confident, well-informed decisions. That lowers stress and leads to better outcomes. How to Build an Investment Mindset To help you develop this mindset, we've outlined a few practical steps: Create a long-term career plan with goals that guide your short-term decisions. Prioritize growth opportunities over short-term comforts like location or salary. Educate yourself by reading books like Mindset by Carol Dweck and The 5 Patterns of Extraordinary Careers. Work on your communication skills, including how you share your story and goals. Be open to multiple career paths, and evaluate each one objectively. Talk to mentors who can guide you through the process and offer honest advice. Reframing the Transition as an Adventure As we wrapped up, Tim encouraged JMOs to look at the transition as an adventure. This mindset adds a sense of curiosity and energy to the process. Instead of seeing the unknown as something to fear, view it as a chance to explore, grow, and discover your next chapter. Joel added that growth takes time. With a strong plan and consistent effort, the results will come. Every challenge is a step forward when you're building toward something greater. Let's Take the Next Step Together Are you ready to think long-term and approach your transition with confidence? Developing an investment mindset for your military transition is a great place to start. To learn more, check out our podcast, Cameron-Brooks: PCS to Corporate America.

Emmett Burnton and Ryan Donovan are two teachers both working in the social studies department at Boulder Creek High School in Deer Valley Unified School District.

These relationships help us really see our students and our peers in meaningful ways. Ryan shares about the value of protected time for collegial support and mentoring and the professional growth that results.

Send us a textSaying you always have a Growth Mindset? That's not how it works.Your mindset shifts depending on the situation. You might embrace challenges at work—but shut down when it comes to personal goals. Mindsets aren't one-size-fits-all; they show up differently in different areas of your life.We love to act like Growth Mindset is an all-or-nothing badge of honor. But the truth is you can believe you can grow in one area—and feel completely stuck in another. That's not a flaw. That's being human.Carol Dweck's research makes it clear: mindsets are different in different contexts.So the real question isn't if you operate under a fixed mindset. It's “Where does it show up?” And what that's costing your impact.Want to know what's driving your coaching—and what might be holding it back?Take the Catalyst Mindset™ Quiz and get clear on which mindset is leading the way.

Welcome back to Asking For A Friend with TalkDoc, featuring hosts Dr. Pamela Kreiser, Meredith Edwards Nagle, and Teighlor Polendo. In today's episode, we explore “reframing”—a powerful mental communication tool backed by research that helps cultivate resilience, clarity, and purpose. The discussion juxtaposes growth versus fixed mindsets and optimism versus pessimism, drawing on insights from Martin Seligman's “Learned Optimism” and Carol Dweck's “Mindset: The Psychology of Success.” Through personal anecdotes and practical examples, we delve into how shifting our perspectives can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Whether it's navigating relationship breakups or dealing with everyday inconveniences, reframing aids in approaching problems from new angles and adapting a growth-oriented mindset. Join us as we uncover ways to enhance your emotional well-being and relationship dynamics through the transformative power of reframing.  Music by epidemic sound.

¿Por qué nos cuesta tanto cambiar, incluso cuando sabemos que nuestra rutina ya no nos hace felices? En este nuevo episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, nos adentramos en una de las grandes paradojas del comportamiento humano: el miedo al cambio. Junto a Alberto y Rubén, exploramos las razones neurológicas, cognitivas y emocionales que explican por qué preferimos quedarnos en lo conocido aunque sepamos que nos limita. Desde el sesgo del statu quo hasta la influencia de los ganglios basales, descubrirás cómo nuestro cerebro crea hábitos que nos atan a lo familiar, y cómo la ansiedad ante lo desconocido puede sabotear nuestros intentos de avanzar. Además, te ofrecemos estrategias terapéuticas reales y aplicables para afrontar el miedo al cambio, incluyendo técnicas como la desensibilización sistemática, el enfoque de valores personales de Viktor Frankl, o la poderosa idea de la mentalidad de crecimiento de Carol Dweck. ¿Qué vas a descubrir en este episodio? Qué hay detrás de tu miedo al cambio (¡spoiler: no eres débil, es tu cerebro buscando eficiencia!) Cómo diferenciar si la ansiedad es una señal de peligro o una llamada al crecimiento Qué hacer si te arrepientes tras cambiar o temes que los demás no lo entiendan Por qué la recaída no es sinónimo de fracaso Herramientas concretas para reconectar con tu motivación en los momentos difíciles El cambio no es un salto al vacío, es una construcción consciente. Y este episodio puede ayudarte a dar ese primer paso con más claridad, seguridad y compasión contigo mismo. Frase clave del episodio: "No eres el tipo de persona que no puede cambiar.

En este episodio exploramos dos de los obstáculos más grandes a los que se enfrentan los emprendedores: el miedo y la gestión del dinero. El miedo es algo natural cuando decides emprender, y un estudio de la Universidad de California revela que el 60% de los emprendedores sienten dudas antes de empezar. Pero, ¿sabías que ese miedo puede convertirse en tu mayor aliado? Según Carol Dweck, psicóloga de la Universidad de Stanford, quienes tienen una mentalidad de crecimiento ven el miedo como una señal para seguir adelante, no como una barrera que los detiene.Por otro lado, el dinero es otro gran desafío. Muchos creen que es necesario tener grandes sumas para emprender, pero en realidad, lo más importante es cómo gestionarlo. Un estudio de Harvard encontró que el 90% de las startups que recibieron financiación externa no fueron rentables en los primeros tres años. La clave no está en cuánto dinero tienes, sino en cómo lo usas. Priorizar lo que realmente hace crecer tu negocio es esencial.Recuerda, el miedo no es más que una señal de que estás creciendo, y el dinero, cuando se utiliza de manera inteligente, puede ser el motor de tu éxito. ¡No te pierdas este episodio lleno de aprendizajes clave para llevar tu emprendimiento al siguiente nivel!Conecta con Roger Alarcón: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-alarcon/Escucha los episodios completos en: -Short 11: Miedo a emprender https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bwyjw3VbsGJZnbvX2dOaa?si=ae75657aac994cd7 -Short 73: ¿Por qué es importante el dinero para poder impactar https://open.spotify.com/episode/673LLb42pMlP7vuLBBpcM1?si=bb145bf9c1a84945¡No te pierdas nuestras miniseries semanales  para conocer más acerca de todo eso que acerca a generar riqueza y abundancia en todos los ámbitos de tu vida! Suscríbete a nuestro canal en SpotifyVe la entrevista completa en YouTubeSigue negocioscool en todas nuestras redes Conecta con nosotros a través de LinkedIn

What colors paint your mental landscape? Are they vibrant and life-giving, or dull and limiting? In this thought-provoking exploration of mindset, John Thurman weaves ancient wisdom and modern psychological research to offer a uniquely Christian perspective on personal growth and transformation.Drawing from the profound words of Marcus Aurelius that "your soul takes on the color of your thoughts," alongside biblical warnings against double-mindedness, Thurman creates a compelling case for developing what psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck calls a "growth mindset." He contrasts the limitations of a fixed mindset—believing talents and abilities are static—with the liberating perspective that we can grow through effort, learning, and perseverance.The episode walks listeners through biblical examples of growth mindset in action, from Deborah's courageous leadership and David's journey from shepherd to king, to Ruth's risk-taking adventure and Peter's remarkable transformation after his failures.

GiveDirectly is an extraordinary organisation, working to end extreme poverty through an idea that is simple but revolutionary: give cash directly to people in extreme poverty and let them decide what they need most. Research shows this approach is not only effective but also deeply empowering.Since I (Robbie) first read about GiveDirectly in 2017, it has been the focus of almost all my charitable giving: I find the research-backed practices and incredibly meaningful recipient stories so compelling that almost every time I have thought in detail about the organisation and what they do, I have increased my regular giving.In this special Podcasthon episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Stephanie Hill, the VP, People at GiveDirectly, joins me to explore the connections between teaching, coaching, and leadership, and to outline the transformational work that GiveDirectly does.From her days working to recruit and develop thousands of teachers in New York City to her role in helping a rapidly scaling global nonprofit build strong teams, Stephanie shares deep insights into learning, growth, and the power of trusting people to know what they need.In this episode, we discuss, on GiveDirectly:Why giving cash directly to the poorest people in the world works!Common misconceptions about cash transfers as a form of philanthropy.Amazing stories from GiveDirectly's recipients.The Power of Trust – why both great coaching and effective philanthropy start from the belief that people know what they need.And on learning, coaching, culture and more:The Gradual Release Model – how great teaching (and coaching) helps people build confidence and autonomy over time.Lessons from Scaling – what it takes to grow an organization quickly while keeping core values intact.Building a Culture of Learning – how GiveDirectly fosters ongoing development among its globally distributed team.Leading with Values - how has GiveDirectly taken its company values and actually brought them to life.Stephanie's personal leadership journey – what she learned from recruiting and training 5,000 teachers a year and how those lessons apply to coaching, leadership and organizational growth today.This episode is packed with wisdom for coaches, leaders, and anyone passionate about learning, development, and making a meaningful impact.I can't wait to share GiveDirectly's amazing work with you, but it's not just that this is an amazing charity that made me want to feature GiveDirectly on the show; it's that it's a charity whose work closely aligns with the philosophy of coaching.At its heart, coaching is about trusting people, believing they have the answers within them, and supporting them to make the best choices for their own lives.GiveDirectly operates on the same principle. Rather than imposing solutions, it hands people the resources to create their own change. For coaches who want to make a difference in the world beyond their work, I can't think of a better organization to support: if you've never quite found a focus for your charitable giving that really resonates, or if you've ever wondered how you can contribute in a way that aligns with the values of coaching — courage, trust, empowerment, and belief in human potential — GiveDirectly could be a powerful answer.If you have a few pounds or dollars to spare this month or every month, consider giving to GiveDirectly. They will send it to someone for whom those few pounds or dollars will go further than you can possibly imagine, as part of a story of courage, empowerment and trust in the beauty of human nature.For more information about GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/ or https://www.linkedin.com/company/givedirectlyTo donate to GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/For more information about Stephanie, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-hill-1232028For more information about Robbie Swale, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/.Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Rutger Bregman: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/Bregman on tax at Davos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ijiLqfXP0Bregman's TED Talk - "Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash": https://www.ted.com/talks/rutger_bregman_poverty_isn_t_a_lack_of_character_it_s_a_lack_of_cash/ Utopia for Realists: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/books/utopia-for-realists GiveDirectly Live: https://live.givedirectly.org/ GiveDirectly's Research: https://www.givedirectly.org/research-at-give-directly/ Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs GiveDirectly Donation Link for the US: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/ GiveDirectly Donation Link for the UK: https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/5197#!/DonationDetailsHow to donate to GiveDirectly from other countries: https://www.givedirectly.org/giving-internationally Teach for America: https://www.teachforamerica.org/TeachFirst: https://www.teachfirst.org.uk/The GROW Model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GROW_model Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inner-Game-Tennis-ultimate-performance/dp/1035047926 GiveDirectly NPR Article: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/12/02/781152563/researchers-find-a-remarkable-ripple-effect-when-you-give-cash-to-poor-families Carol Dweck and Growth Mindset: https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322Elena Aguilar and "Mind the Gap": https://www.edweek.org/education/opinion-the-key-to-working-with-adult-learners-mind-the-gap/2018/02 Fred Kofman: https://www.fredkofman.org/The GiveDirectly Values: https://www.givedirectly.org/givedirectly-values/ The Leadership Pipeline (book): https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Pipeline-Second-Edition-Developing/dp/0470894563How to Help GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/how-to-help/Work at GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/careers/ Podcasthon: https://podcasthon.org/ Book your place at Robbie and Claire Pedrick's event in Malvern in 2025: The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business. Read more here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/3dcoaching/1504338 FULL BIOGRAPHY FROM STEPHANIE Stephanie began her career as an educator. After university, she joined Teach For America in New York City and taught English Literature to low-income High School students in The Bronx while getting her Master's degree in teaching. She then worked for Teach For America as a coach to cohorts of new teachers.After a brief stint as a recruiter, she joined the New York City Department of Education to build a new model for teacher preparation - one that would integrate theory and practice and include a longer, more intentional gradual release of responsibility for new recruits. The program also created a new career-ladder position for the supervisors of these aspiring teachers - experienced educators who were selected and trained to not just share their classroom, but also provide targeted, actionable modeling and feedback that would accelerate the learning process.Stephanie worked to scale that program to prepare over 500 new teachers for NYC's hardest to staff schools each year, while eventually taking on leadership of the city's overall teacher recruitment and preparation - where she led a team to recruit and place over 5,000 new teachers each year.In April of 2020, she joined the international non-profit organization GiveDirectly as their first VP, People, just as the organization was going through a period of rapid growth, with ~75% headcount increase year over year. GiveDirectly takes an innovative approach to aid by giving unconditional cash to people living in extreme poverty, often using a technology-forward approach to maximize efficiency (and therefore dollars to recipients). Stephanie is proud to have led the People function for the past 5 years - building and defining recruitment, people operations, learning and development, talent planning and employee engagement for the organization.

Liz Guthridge, Managing Director of Connect Consulting Group, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share her expertise on leadership development and organizational change. As a leadership coach who combines neuroscience and vertical stage development, Liz works with both individuals and organizations to foster growth and cultural transformation. When discussing ideation and brainstorming, Liz challenged the common practice of gathering people around a conference table to throw ideas at each other. She explained that research shows this approach isn't particularly effective. Instead, she advocated for giving people time to think independently and leverage their unconscious mind. According to her, our best ideas often come during activities like showering, cooking, or walking when our minds are free to make unexpected connections. Liz emphasized the importance of providing autonomy in the ideation process, allowing people to generate ideas when and where they work best. This approach particularly benefits introverts who might feel overwhelmed in traditional group brainstorming sessions. While some might worry this takes too long, Liz pointed out that giving people 36-72 hours to develop ideas independently can actually lead to more creative solutions than rushing the process. The conversation turned to the critical role of a learning mindset in problem-solving. Liz referenced Carol Dweck's work on growth mindset, explaining how this approach aligns well with continuous improvement principles. She stressed the importance of creating a culture where questioning the status quo is encouraged and curiosity is celebrated. Leaders can reinforce this by recognizing and praising those who demonstrate these behaviors. Liz shared valuable insights about the connection between physical health and leadership performance. Drawing from her background in brain-based coaching and neuroplasticity, she emphasized how sleep, movement, and diet significantly impact both work and life performance. She advocated for leaders to block time on their calendars for reflection and thinking, noting that many of her coaching clients particularly value having this dedicated space to process ideas. In her coaching practice, Liz takes a highly individualized approach, helping leaders align their actions with their values and working backward from their vision of their ideal selves. She recommends focusing on no more than three goals at a time to ensure meaningful progress. Throughout the conversation, Liz demonstrated her commitment to helping leaders develop self-awareness and lead themselves effectively, recognizing that this forms the foundation for successfully leading others.

What are the ramifications of holding a fixed mindset over a growth mindset? How does it alter the mechanics of the people within a company and what can be done to shift an entrenched culture mindset?Mary C. Murphy is a Professor of Psychology and Brain Science at the University of Indiana, and the author of the book Cultures of Growth: How the New Science of Mindset Can Transform Individuals, Teams, and Organizations.Greg and Mary discuss the differences between growth and fixed mindsets, the significant impact of environmental factors on a given mindset, and the concept of mindset culture. Mary shares insights from her research and personal experiences, including her collaboration with Carol Dweck on the external factors influencing mindset. Their conversation covers the practical applications of growth mindset principles in education and corporate settings, how to implement effective learning systems, the role of leadership in fostering a culture of growth, and the importance of reframing effort in relation to ability. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Carol DweckJoseph AddisonVitality CurveKathleen HoganSatya NadellaGrowth Mindset vs. Fixed MindsetJean TwengeSara BlakelyYerkes–Dodson LawGuest Profile:MaryCMurphy.comFaculty Profile at the University of Indiana BloomingtonSocial Profile on InstagramSocial Profile on XHer Work:Cultures of Growth: How the New Science of Mindset Can Transform Individuals, Teams, and OrganizationsGoogle Scholar PageEpisode Quotes:Reframing effort and ability through growth mindset41:55: So, what the growth mindset culture does—and what we do when we are creating growth mindset learning environments or working environments in companies—is that we're really trying to reframe that relationship between effort and ability. Pointing out, telling stories, showing people, having them do self-reflection on where they made the most progress, right? Where do you actually see the best outcomes coming? Is it always effortless, or have there been challenges that have been overcome, strategies that had to be pivoted, and teams that had to come together, right? So, illuminating the process of success helps people understand whether or not effort is what's required for ability, required for high success, right? And strong success and excellence. Why growth cultures are more diverse and inclusive49:36: In a culture of growth, it's much more diverse naturally. Why? Because it's not about matching to some narrow prototype of success that looks or feels a certain way. Instead, it's about who can grow the most, who can develop the most, who can pivot, who's overcome challenges. And when we look at our society and look at who has overcome challenges, who has actually had to pivot, try new things, and overcome these structural barriers, we see that that's a much more diverse group of people. And it's not just focused on any one identity. And so, we see that in these cultures of growth, they attract, retain, promote, and positively evaluate a much wider variety of people.How do we mirror growth to inspire workplace success?34:50: As adults in the workplace setting, if we can create relationships where we actually show employees and our direct reports—individual contributors—where we have seen their growth and development, appreciate that, and mirror it for them, it puts them in that growth mindset. This makes them willing to try something new, to continue to push, and to continue to develop either in that area or in a new area that's required in the moment. And so, I think that's one thing that we can do pretty easily—to just be that mirror for process, growth, and development for people and help them reflect on that for themselves. 

Have you ever thought, "I've tried recovery before and failed—why try again?" or "This is just who I am"? These beliefs might be the biggest barrier to lasting recovery.   In this solo episode, licensed therapist Duane Osterlind shares how a growth mindset can transform your recovery journey. Drawing from Dr. Carol Dweck's research, Duane explains how viewing your abilities and capacity for recovery as things that can grow and change (rather than fixed traits) makes all the difference.   Recovery is rarely a straight path. For many, it's a series of hopeful starts followed by setbacks. Each relapse can make doubt grow louder: "Maybe I'm not strong enough," or "Maybe I'll always be this way." These thoughts aren't just discouraging—they actively harm recovery.   When we believe change isn't possible, we avoid challenges, give up easily, and see effort as pointless. This mindset isn't just psychological—it impacts physical health, increases stress, and perpetuates addiction.   But there is another way. A growth mindset recognizes that your brain is neuroplastic—able to form new pathways throughout life. The same neuroplasticity that allowed addiction to take hold can help you build healthier habits. Through this lens, relapse becomes valuable data, not failure, offering insights about triggers and strategies for meaningful change.   Duane shares practical steps to build this mindset, like becoming aware of your self-talk, reframing challenges, embracing "the power of yet," and celebrating effort over outcomes. Recovery becomes about resilience and growth, not perfection.   Ready to change your approach? Download the free growth mindset worksheet in the show notes.

Miranda Barnhart Domenico, a mom of two, came to the Hoffman Process wanting to heal from a recent, painful breakup. Even before arriving at the retreat site, Miranda realized that she was coming for so much more. With two difficult relationships behind her, Miranda discovered that blaming her ex-partners wasn't helping. Instead, she found that by looking back to her childhood she could heal what was driving the difficulties in her relationships. As she joyfully recounts, Miranda was reunited with her young self at the Process. Her story gives us deep insight into the nature of negative patterns and the Negative Love Syndrome. Miranda can now talk about her painful childhood story without being nearly as triggered. From the time she was young, Miranda had lived her life disconnected from both her emotional self and her Spiritual Self. Learning about the Quadrinity reconnected Miranda back to her Spirit and her emotions. Now, one of the most important things she wants to impart to her daughters is the understanding that feeling, and talking about, their emotions is vital to healthy relating. We hope you enjoy this powerful Love's Everyday Raidus conversation with Miranda and Drew. More about Miranda Barnhart Domenico: Miranda Barnhart Domenico, a mom of two, moved to Colorado, on her own, directly after high school, balancing college and work while building a tech career. She embraced travel, outdoor adventures, and her career until building a family shifted her focus in her 30s.   Though Miranda stepped back from some of the outdoor pursuits she loved, her dedication to being an athlete, an exceptional mom, and a driven professional never wavered.  She hadn't realized that she wasn't doing any of those three things wholly as she had fallen prey to trying to master all three without emotion and a deeper purpose. It wasn't until Miranda's divorce and other personal challenges led her to the Hoffman Process in 2019, that she rediscovered her authentic self.  Now, she leads with vulnerability, inspiring others through connection. Once ultra-independent, Miranda channels that strength into leadership, mentoring at work, coaching young athletes, and finding purpose in empowering others.  Her mission is clear: to show up authentically and create spaces where others feel inspired to do the same.

To let go of our patterns, we must exercise our free will – choose to step out of a pattern and take action using our Voice, Body, and Intention. Expression is not necessarily about anger – it's about “claiming” your life. It's about taking a stand. Sometimes that includes anger, but it can also be about joy, love, commitment, and empowerment.

Quarterly realignment stands as the defining difference between simply getting by and strategically maximizing your potential. This powerful practice — a deliberate pause to reflect, recalibrate, and refine your approach — creates clarity that fuels remarkable results in your business and leadership journey.Have you ever found yourself thinking, "It worked so well, why did I stop doing it"? This common pattern affects even the most disciplined professionals. Perhaps you were consistently asking for referrals with great success until, somewhere along the way, you simply stopped. Or, maybe your productive morning routine gradually disappeared when things got busy. Realignment ensures you recognize what's working and intentionally continue these success-driving behaviors instead of letting them silently slip away.Beyond maintaining effective habits, quarterly realignment sharpens your ability to spot inefficiencies and proactively address challenges before they derail your progress. It provides the space to analyze where your efforts yield the greatest results, allowing you to work smarter rather than harder. For those feeling behind or discouraged, realignment offers something even more valuable — the chance to identify what's truly holding you back, whether it's mindset, process, or skillset barriers.The mindset component proves particularly critical. Carol Dweck's research on fixed versus growth mindset reminds us that how we view challenges directly impacts our success and resilience. When facing setbacks, do you tell yourself "I'm too far behind" or rather reframe this with "What's one small step I can take today?" Your narrative either creates roadblocks or pathways to achievement.Ready to make your next quarter your strongest yet? Schedule your quarterly review now and remember, you're not behind — you're exactly where you need to be to create the results you want.

How you carry yourself—your posture, your thoughts, your body language—shapes more than just how others see you. It affects your mood, your mindset, and your capacity for growth.   Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down the power of self-perception and communication, using “The Pout-Pout Fish” as an unexpected but fitting example. A gloomy fish believes he's destined to be miserable until one moment shifts his entire outlook. What if the way you see yourself is just a story you've been telling for too long?   Drawing from Presence by Amy Cuddy and Mindset by Carol Dweck, Dr. Fix explores how small changes in body language can shift emotions and how embracing a growth mindset leads to resilience and success. If your thoughts and habits shape your reality, what would happen if you decided to shift them? This episode challenges you to rethink the way you move, think, and show up in the world.   Quotes “How we carry ourselves and the mindset that we have goes an extremely long way to how we act, how we feel, how we come off and come across to other people.” (04:16 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “More than 70% of our communication, if not more, is nonverbal. That means even more than what you're saying to people, what do you look like? What's your facial expression? What's your body position?

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with David Yeager, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. David is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. David recently published his latest book “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier” which quickly became a national bestseller. Here's a universal truth: Parents and leaders alike constantly worry about their next generation – are they ready, are they responsible, will they be able to make it on their own, etc. It's a tale as old as time. David shares his views and research on what is going on there and why that dynamic is so universally present across time, cultures, and socio-economic contexts. This dynamic repeats itself again and again, and so many parents and leaders fall into this trap repeatedly. But is there a solution? Is there a better way to interact with and motivate young people, and if so, what is it? David illuminates these questions from the perspective of his life's work and his most recent research. One critical and powerful practical tool David talks about in his book is language and communication style. David shares his observations on the importance of language and how parents and leaders can communicate more effectively with the younger generation. An important practical topic David emphasizes to parents and leaders is the very real and notable rise in stress and anxiety among young people. He provides his insights into what both next-gen members and the older generation and those in positions of power should know and be doing to manage and alleviate this rising and damaging trend. Enjoy this informative conversation with a leading researcher, adviser and best-selling author in the field of next-gen engagement and motivation.

My conversation with a non-profit CEO, a long-time mentor, recently turned to our dreams for our children. It began when she shared how her mother had praised her beautiful New Jersey home, which led her to reflect: "I'd want my kids to live in castles! I want them to have even more than I do." Like any parent, I want my three sons to surpass me in every aspect of life—and even create new categories beyond AI to conquer! However, I've realized my own limiting beliefs and stress responses could unknowingly cap their success if I don't consciously address them. For example, my fear of openly competing or declaring my ambition for first place—how can my sons confidently compete on a world stage if I haven't confronted this fear? Similarly, if we avoid networking because we fear rejection, can we effectively teach our children to build connections? This is where our greatest opportunity for inter-generational impact lies: facing our own limitations so they don't become our children's inheritance. My mother's primary concern was the potential inheritance of her manic depression. This fear led her to anxiously await my thirtieth birthday, believing symptoms would likely manifest before then if I were to inherit it. This sparked my curiosity about breaking the cycle of inherited limiting beliefs for my own sons. For thirteen years, as a mother, I've considered how to proactively guide my children toward success. I believe we can break negative cycles and cultivate a new model of success by nurturing their strengths, fostering healthy mindsets, and focusing on key skills like imagination, cross-cultural thinking, and resilience. This is about empowering our children from the start. Generational patterns often include inherited personality traits, impacting education and career choices. Families frequently pass down expectations and lessons, often along gender lines. These inherited mindsets shape our understanding of what it means to be a girl or boy within our family. Children observe and adopt behaviors they perceive as normalized expectations. They may also be explicitly taught specific ways of thinking, especially in early childhood. Limiting beliefs can also be passed down. In my family, I observed a lack of desire or ability to ascend into leadership positions or gain mastery in a field. My mother, a secretary for corporate leaders, held a strong limiting belief that she lacked the intelligence to provide valuable recommendations. This idea was ingrained in me, driving my need for external validation in corporate settings. While this mindset sometimes helped me in corporate life, it didn't translate well into entrepreneurship. My mother's limiting belief was essentially a form of impostor syndrome. Her lack of confidence stemmed from various factors. As a child, I mistakenly attributed it to her not having a four-year degree. She often mentioned her inability to finish her degree as a working mom. Yet, her illness and its constant disruptions likely caused her to question her ability to contribute meaningfully to leadership conversations. As a child, I simply saw her as a secretary supporting leaders. Our family felt inconsequential. This perception shifted when I met children from families who held positions of influence. I realized I needed to address this inherited limiting belief. Though young, caring for my mother fostered a sense of maturity, allowing me to envision a different future. I didn't want to simply play a supporting role. So, where did I start? 1980s sitcoms like Who's the Boss? sparked my career aspirations. I wanted that life: Connecticut, business owner, advertising. Without a mentor, TV was my guide. Summers stamping travel brochures ignited my wanderlust. London, Singapore – the world felt attainable. My mom didn't travel, but I craved that broader experience. I knew life beyond my zip code held possibilities. I worked with what I had: imagination. I had a career blueprint from fiction, then exposure to someone who explored globally my stepmother owned a travel agency. I realized following their path wouldn't be easy, but I had something they didn't teach on TV – resilience, inherited from my mom. I knew I could stumble, fall, and get back up. Ultimately, I achieved that dream: Connecticut, Ogilvy & Mather, even Australia for 3.5 years. My podcast, The Mom Founder Imagination Hub, features conversations with world leaders. These realities weren't in my original blueprint, but resilience was my active ingredient. What's yours? If you want more for your kids, discover it. Imagination, cross-cultural thinking, resilience – these are the tools to re-architect success for our kids. This is my parenting blueprint now. My sons will tweak it, of course; change demands it. Let's focus on your kids, your blueprint, and overcoming challenges and limiting beliefs so they can achieve more than you did. How can you transform thoughts like, "I don't feel comfortable asking for money," "Getting on stage gives me anxiety," or "I hate competing" into lessons that build resilience? If you want your child to own a business but you've never had one, you'll need to address these areas of discomfort. Since these limiting beliefs are inherent in entrepreneurship, how can you use them to your advantage? One way is to challenge yourself to ask for discounts in front of your kids, or challenge them to do it. I dared my kids to do this, letting them keep their savings. This tackles the "asking for money" hurdle. Public speaking anxiety? Bring your kids into the process. Share your fears and how you manage them. Have them brainstorm solutions. The goal is to expose them to the same challenges they'll face and show them how you move forward. Age-appropriate conversations are key. For the discount example, include prep sessions where you brainstorm possible questions with your kids. They can choose from your list or create their own. ("Can I get a discount for paying cash?" "Is there a student discount?" "Is there a sale coming up?") For public speaking, articulate your worries simply: "Mommy feels yucky in her tummy because she's nervous about talking." This leverages mindfulness – acknowledging the physical sensations of anxiety – to start a conversation.   Here's A Blueprint Reframing Exercise 1.     What is a dream you have for your child? (e.g., Living in a castle, owning their own business) 2.     What qualities must they have to fulfill that dream? 3.     Write out your analysis of whether your blueprint offers those qualities. Pick out the ones that are in direct contrast to what your child will need. Example 1.     You never want your kid to work for a boss in a big corporate company. 2.     You know that working for a startup or building one requires the ability to build relationships. 3.     You love talking about real-life with your mom friends. You adore helping people. You are a connector. However, you do not like asking for help or asking for intros or turning friendships into professional relationships. 4.     Here's an opportunity to work on your limiting belief so that it doesn't get in your kid's way later on: turn a Saturday soccer practice conversation into a business one in front of your kids ideally. I'm not asking you to do anything I have not already done. During my sons' soccer match I turned a personal friendship into a professional partnership because I took interest in the careers of the moms around me. The same applies for our kids. Yes, in school they might have project-based work but what about in other realms of life from church to sports to music. Give the kids a chance to build personal relationships that can translate into a professional objective outside of their scenarios. The thinking behind this intentional thinking on your limiting belief not being your kid's limiting beliefs is worthwhile because our minds are flexible. According to Carol Dweck you can change your thinking and as a mother doing this in front of your kids gives your kids a real shot at having what you didn't have due in part to that limiting belief. Take for example one of my clients who is the co-founder of a non-profit that has brought in millions in donations. She recently decided to sing in front of an audience after years of feeling frivolous for doing such things. Her son might be under ten but now his mom has not only expressed herself after years of hiding this personal love of hers but also provided an example to her son of what a woman putting herself out there looks like. Imagine this mom talking to her son ten years from now when he wants to do something silly like be in a band or launch a YouTube channel featuring his own videogames. This conversation will sound very different because his mom now went through every emotion under the sun to get on stage and figured out how to navigate them in a similar way. Can you see how this guidance will sound totally differently once informed by your own evidence vs. a wish for your kids that you didn't have the chutzpah to go first? The same goes for a mom who would love her kids to live abroad but never got over her fear of living in a land where she doesn't know anyone or perhaps the language. Sure our kids might be daring whereas we never were but the potential is greater if you went first. You'd be the perfect coach and in instances where you wouldn't be the right coach then you can always ask the world for help – that's again where ideas can come from anywhere even outside of your home country. There are many ways to build a growth mindset in your kids. It starts with shifting praise from innate talent to effort, practice, and skill development. Instead of "Wow, you're a great reader," try "Wow, you're working really hard to get through those books." This shows kids they control their effort, which drives mastery. Here are some tangible examples of nurturing imagination, seeking diverse ideas, and building resilience: ·       Imagination: Ask open-ended questions. After reading a book, ask your kids to imagine alternate endings. For example: "How might this book end differently?" ·       Cross-cultural thinking: Explore YouTube. Instead of limiting content to your own culture, find channels featuring diverse ways of life and experiences. ·       Resilience: Practice exploring weaknesses. While everyone enjoys winning, growth comes from discomfort. If your child isn't into sports, encourage them to try a competition. The goal isn't victory, but finishing the competition. The lesson: "You might dislike this sport, but you can still participate; your capacity is still valid." A growth mindset, fueled by imagination, cross-cultural thinking, and resilience, helps children break free from inherited limitations and design their own blueprints. We must be honest about our own limitations, work on them, and model a different path for our kids. Then, give them opportunities to practice these new, empowering beliefs. One blueprint does not fit all Each child is unique. You could have three kids with three distinct dreams requiring different skills and beliefs. While it would be ideal to eliminate all your limiting beliefs, who has time for that? Instead, let your kids lead the way. Create environments for them to explore their ambitions at every age. Here I am taking a page from another culture... In South Korea, there's a tradition called Doljanchi where a one year old child chooses from a selection of objects, supposedly indicating their future career. You can adapt this idea, but ultimately, be intensely curious about what your kids gravitate toward. If your child loves a Valentine's Day craft activity, you've discovered an interest. If they dislike it, note their preferences. This is valuable data. Want to introduce them to new cultures? Let them try Duolingo. Teaching resilience? Encourage them to ask their teacher to redo an assignment. Just asking takes bravery. These ideas are age-dependent. Building these proficiencies varies with capacity. If you'd like more ideas tailored to specific age groups, just ask! You don't want to pass along limiting beliefs, and I'm here to help."

A "Stressless”, "Fearless” life - Eliminating all fear and stress from life ain't gonna happen, BUT it is definitely possible to reduce the amounts of both...to "stress less", and "fear less". This week, I'm giving you the 5 keys to do just that…​ ​ Purpose What is your overall mission in life? What is the reason you're driven to get out of bed each day? If you don't know your purpose, that's okay. It will evolve and change over time, but defining a reason is important. Pick one. I believe our mission is to become the person God made us to be. Yours may of course be different, but will likely be some version of being the best you can - physically, spiritually, and financially. Gratitude Gratitude is a weapon! When you consciously acknowledge the things you're grateful for, you can overpower stress and fear. Gratitude is an incredibly powerful emotion and it's important to know the things you're grateful for so you can wield this weapon at will. Talk to Yourself More Than You Listen to YourselfOur thoughts can drift into territory that brings us down and can quickly spiral into catastrophic thinking if left unchecked. Be conscious of the thoughts you think…don't let them run on autopilot. Become the programmer - Don't run the program written by others. Growth and ContributionIn nature, you're either growing or dying…there's no middle ground. It is important to continue to grow as a human being and maintain a mindset (like the one described by Carol Dweck in the book, Mindset) that is conducive to that growth. According to Tony Robbins (and now accepted by many trained psychologists as truth), there are 6 basic needs that all humans must fulfil: Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasure Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli Significance: feeling unique, important, special or needed Connection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or something Growth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understanding Contribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others The Combined Fulfilment of the Need for Connection and LoveWhy these two? The needs that Tony laid out are “basic necessities”...one is no more important than the other, BUT I believe focusing on these two as your “go to” needs, will give you the most satisfaction, reward, and positivity.

Key Points: Physical challenges help children develop resilience Many schools have removed risky play equipment like monkey bars Stanford research shows parent reactions shape children's mindsets Developmentally appropriate risk is essential for growth Modern "safetyism" may be harming children's development Quote of the Episode: "When we treat all adversity as inherently negative, we do a tremendous disservice to our children and their ability to develop adaptive coping mechanisms." Key Insights: Babies look to parents' facial expressions to gauge danger Physical challenges often lead to better academic and social outcomes The difference between harmful trauma and beneficial stress How "safetyism" creates more fearful children The importance of scaffolding risk appropriately Resources Mentioned: Stanford University research on parental mindset Carol Dweck's growth mindset work "The Coddling of the American Mind" by Jonathan Haidt Biosphere 2 experiment Various physical activities mentioned (bouldering, surfing, ice skating) Action Steps for Parents: 1. Frame failures as opportunities for growth: Acknowledge pain/difficulty Ask "How would you do it differently next time?" Look for learning moments 2. Create supportive environments for risk-taking: Stay calm when children fall/fail Provide appropriate safety measures Be present but not hovering 3.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Permission to Love Podcast, we continue the Resilient by Design series, focusing on three essential cognitive tools to help you build resilience, reframe stress, and create a healthier relationship with yourself. Stress can often feel overwhelming, but in this episode we look at the research-backed strategies that demonstrate how reframing stress and shifting our mindset can unlock personal growth and empowerment.You will learn how to:Use the ABC model (Activating Event, Belief, Consequence) to identify and transform stress triggers.Develop a growth mindset through small, achievable goals and consistent celebration of progress.Rewire outdated schemas and limiting beliefs with positive self-talk to build confidence and resilience.This episode is packed with actionable insights, stories, and research-based techniques to help you stop surviving and start thriving.Key Takeaways:Reframing Stress:Stress is not inherently bad; how we interpret it determines its impact.Research by Lazarus and Folkman shows that appraising stress as a challenge (rather than a threat) leads to motivation and empowerment.The ABC model: Identify the Activating Event, the Belief about the event, and the Consequence. Shift the belief to change the outcome.The Growth Mindset:A fixed mindset limits potential, while a growth mindset encourages adaptability and learning.Incremental goals and small wins build momentum.Celebrating progress rewires the brain for optimism and resilience.Positive Self-Talk:Inner dialogue shapes how we view ourselves and the world.Negative schemas, rooted in past experiences, can trap us in outdated narratives.Neuroscience shows positive self-talk strengthens neural pathways linked to optimism and resilience.Actionable Challenge:Pick one cognitive tool—reframing stress, developing a growth mindset, or practicing positive self-talk—and commit to using it this week.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Stress, anxiety, and avoidance02:45 The power of reframing stress04:19 The ABC model: Understanding activating events, beliefs, and consequences07:11 Developing a growth mindset: Tips and tools08:57 The importance of reframing stress and embracing challenges10:44 Setting incremental goals and celebrating small wins13:55 The impact of self-celebration on resilience16:03 Rewriting inner narratives through seI am grateful you are here,JerrySetup Your FREE Coaching Call:Schedule Call1:1 Transformational Coaching:Learn More Here!How is your relationship with yourself going?Get your free-self assessment guidePick up your copy of my book:Returning: Meditations and Reflections on Self-Love and HealingWatch On YoutubeWebsite:www.jerryhenderson.orgGet Your Free Weekly Healing Tips!Instagram: @jerryahendersonLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jerryahenderson Disclaimer
