Which of these do you find most prevalent in your own career, and how have you dealt with them? What strategies do you use to reprogram your mindset and overcome career obstacles? How can personal experiences, such as Dagna Bieda's emotional breakdown and therapy, serve as pivotal moments for career change and personal growth? What are some effective ways engineers and technical professionals can authentically promote their work and skills?

How would you rate the current state of education for our children and youth? This isn't a small question. Just as the health of a tree depends on how its seed is planted, so too, healthy adults are the product of a good education. But what is a good education? Are our schools failing us? Are they failing our children? Our world today is facing many crises. Our young people are lost in an ever-increasing technological blur of information overload, polarized political and social discord; they are suffering a crisis of purpose, lacking passion and commitment toward higher values, struggling with addictions, and overwhelmed by distractions. We must ask ourselves: What is happening in our school system? What are we teaching our children? Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this vital discussion, for our future depends on it. As we begin a new school year, this is the perfect moment to revisit and take a hard look at the way we are educating the next generation. Are we doing a good job? Do we even have the right assumptions about what a good education is?

We all have different goals (in biz and life), and we all have different versions of what success looks like. But if we want to reach our goals and achieve the success we crave –we first need to master our mindset. As my guest today says, “You can have the best strategy in the world. But if your mindset is garbage, it won't matter.” Wait, Kelsey, how can we adjust and reframe and rewire our mindset, so we aren't holding ourselves back from success?? I'm so glad you asked! Getting the support you need can be a huge factor in mastering your mindset and, thus, your success! The right kind of support can help you gain awareness around what's holding you back and develop a game plan tailored to you and your goals! Luckily for you, my guest today is a HUGE support for her clients, and she has gotten some seriously incredible (and tangible!) results for herself and her high-performing clients. Today I am talking to the uber-talented Elizabeth Louis, an Execute Performance Coach for high-performers, professional athletes, corporate, private, & small business powerhouses, and innovation-driven entrepreneurs. Elizabeth also specializes in performance, trauma, & crisis therapy, group psychoeducation, and mental health coaching, where she helps clients develop a champion mindset, improve self-esteem, fine-tune goals, shift perspectives, overcome traumas, face fear, achieve success, gain mental freedom, and more. Not only does Elizabeth have the psychology and counseling graduate degrees to inform her work, but she's literally been in the trenches of trauma herself and truly understands what her clients are going through. And let me tell you, as a coach myself, I'll verify that when you can relate to your clients, you can better help them achieve success and be a more effective coach.
