What if what keeps you going is also keeping you stuck? Does venting actually help, or is it actually making you feel worse? This powerful, hope-filled conversation might just change your entire approach to rest—it did for me. Cognitive psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Therese Huston joins me for a conversation that's incredibly helpful for anyone feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in numbing patterns. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is a game-changer. If you've been feeling off-center, burned out, or unsure how to truly rest, this episode will meet you with both compassion and science-backed tools to help you reset—even when you don't have much time. We cover: The surprising truth about venting—and why it may not be helping Why certain “breaks” leave you more drained How to reset your brain in less than five minutes (yes, really) Simple, science-backed techniques to calm your nervous system Why numbing behaviors (like mindless snacking, scrolling, or binging TV) can feel good—but keep you stuck Two powerful on-air practices you can do right along with us This is not about productivity hacks. It's about reclaiming your peace and tending to your soul—so you can show up as the person you want to be, no matter what your day looks like.

What if your brain's sharpness wasn't just luck—but something you could train?In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Therese Huston, cognitive scientist and author of Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science. We dive into practical, science-backed techniques to boost your focus, decision-making, and memory—without burning out.You'll learn why multitasking is secretly sabotaging your performance, how a 40Hz binaural beat can dial in your concentration, and why picturing the process (not just the outcome) can crush procrastination. Dr. Houston also shares the neuroscience behind emotional regulation, what exercise snacks can do for cognitive fatigue, and even why dark chocolate may be your brain's new best friend.Whether you're a student, leader, parent, or lifelong learner, this episode will help you create a sharper brain day—one small shift at a time. You're not stuck with the brain you have. You can build it. And today, we'll show you how./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.

You're about to learn:Why your brain rewards you for being biased—and how to break the cycleThe two-minute breathing trick that helps you think clearly under pressureHow to build “brain reserve” to protect your mind as you ageWhat if I told you your brain is literally shrinking right now?I've been into brain hacks since I was a kid. I believed “mind over matter” was more than a saying—it was a strategy. And I swear I used it to outgrow asthma.I have this core memory in 8th grade. We were running the mile in P.E., and I started feeling that tightness in my chest, like I couldn't get a full breath in. My P.E. teacher looked freaked out, holding out my inhaler like “take it.”But I didn't. I just slowed down, took the deepest breaths I could, and kept repeating something in my head like “my lungs are healing.”That's the last time I really remember having an asthma attack. Maybe something small came up later, but nothing that stuck. After that, I became a cross country runner.That moment changed the way I thought about what the mind can do. It made me wonder how much of what we accept as “just the way we are” could actually change.Today's guest is Dr. Therese Huston. She's a cognitive scientist who realized neuroscience finally has tools that apply to real life. She wrote Sharp: How to Make Better Decisions, Solve Problems, and Think More Clearly—and she's breaking down how we can actually train our brains to work better.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/411Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What is a growth mindset and why would you want one? And perhaps more importantly, how do you cultivate one? To answer these questions, we dive back into Dr. Therese Huston's fascinating book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Live with Brain Science. We explore the idea of growth vs. fixed mindset in relation to our own lives, learning to do things that once seemed impossible, from becoming fluent in a foreign language to mastering the art of speaking live on radio, from learning to play the piano to writing an entire work of fiction. We also discuss the value of continuing to learn new things as an adult, and how having a growth mindset can make lifetime learning possible (and fun). Make sure to listen to last week's episode, also inspired by this book, in which we discover that, contrary to popular belief, vision boards do not work!

Do you think of rest as a luxury instead of a necessity? Or maybe you can't seem to rest even when you try? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist and psychologist who specializes in brain health. Dr. Huston breaks down why rest is crucial for building mental strength and shares actionable techniques to give your brain the reset it needs. Some of the things we discuss are: The difference between deep rest and just zoning out. What deep rest is and how to get it. What happens to your brain when you don't take breaks. Simple ways to rest during the workday, no matter how busy you are. Breathing techniques that calm your brain and help you recharge. How practices like Yoga Nidra and spending time in nature enhance your mental strength. How more rest can increase focus, reduce stress, and prevent burnout. Why deep rest is essential to your mental health and how it helps you grow mentally stronger. Want more tips for building mental strength?

When you hear the word, feedback, what comes up for you?Most of us do not have a neutral relationship with feedback. It's tangled up with our past experiences, workplace power dynamics, cultural expectations, and–importantly–our early relational wounds.But at its core, feedback is a deeply relational act that has the power to help us unburden rather than re-wound.Which is why it's so frustrating that feedback in leadership and workplace culture is so often done without care, rendering the process performative, detached, and isolating.Some of the constraints that can hamper authentic feedback in the workplace are necessary and protective, but it feels like we've lost the plot for the role and purpose of feedback, and in some cases, have abandoned it altogether.But it is possible to navigate these complex systems intentionally and with clarity. We can make feedback a tool for accountability, care, and growth that helps leaders strengthen their self-awareness and be better advocates for their teams.My guest today helps us unpack how leaders can cultivate a feedback culture that allows for mistakes, growth, and realignment.Therese Huston, Ph.D., is a Cognitive Neuroscientist and Faculty Development Consultant at Seattle University. She was the founding director of the university's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and is now a consultant for its Center for Faculty Development. Her latest book Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science is out now from Mayo Clinic Press.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why how and where feedback is delivered matters just as much for positive feedback as negativeStrategies for making feedback a supportive and generative dialogueWhy it's critical to allow others space to process your feedback before you start problem solvingHow starting with your authentic positive intentions can make others more receptive to feedbackWhy it's worth ending the conversation by checking in about their takeawaysHow typical feedback can perpetuate disparities in the workplace, and steps leaders can take to change those dynamicsA tip from Therese's new book to help manage stress and difficult conversationsLearn more about Therese Huston, Ph.D.:WebsiteTwitter: @ThereseHustonConnect on LinkedInLet's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your SuperpowerSharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain ScienceLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Principles: Life and Work, Ray DalioRadical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity, Kim ScottNine Lies about Work: A Freethinking Leader's Guide to the Real World, Marcus Buckingham, Ashley GoodallThe Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever, Michael Bungay StanierThanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well Douglas Stone, Sheila HeenThe 90 second life cycle of an emotionLeslie K.

As estrogen drops, our midlife brains go through a lot of changes. The activity in our dopamine network declines, which can leave us going from highly motivated to “meh.” We can experience bigger cortisol spikes and have elevated levels of the stress hormone longer. We can end up feeling constantly stressed out and in a doom spiral we can't quite escape. And it doesn't exactly help that many of us are also firmly entrenched in the most demanding period of our lives. This week's guest, cognitive neuroscientist Therese Huston, PhD, is coming to the rescue with a host of simple–and quick–ways to boost our dopamine, keep cortisol in check, and help our midlife brains be their best.Therese Huston, PhD, is a cognitive neuroscientist at Seattle University and the author of four books. She's always asking, “How can we remove the pesky obstacles that get in the way of smart people?” Her latest book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, offers science-backed actionable strategies, many of which take 5 minutes or less, to help you make the most of the brain you've got. Therese received her MS and PhD in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University. She completed a prestigious post-doc in cognitive neuroscience at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and earned a degree in Organizational Leadership at Oxford University. She frequently gives talks and runs workshops for organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Strava, and the Cleveland Clinic. She also loves a good 5K, especially when the rain takes a pause in her hometown of Seattle.

In unserer sechsten Folge besprechen wir ein Thema, für das wir beide brennen. Das besondere daran? Das war nicht immer so. Doch der Reihe nach. Wer sich ertappt fühlt und denkt “Ach ja Feedback, das ist so wichtig, aber wie geht das eigentlich?” sollte mal reinhören. -Wie ist es möglich, auch als Boomer noch offen für Feedback zu sein? -Warum ist ein echtes Bekenntnis zu umfassender und regelmäßiger Selbstreflexion ein guter Startpunkt? -Wie kann es sein, dass 80 % der Führungskräfte glauben, sie würden ausreichend loben, aber weniger als 20 % der von ihnen geführten Menschen das bestätigen können? -Warum wird in den besten Teams 5,6 mal so viel gelobt, wie kritisiert? -Welche Arten von Feedback gibt es eigentlich? -Warum hat sich das Team von Oskar dem Thema Feedback so viel Zeit gewidmet? -Wie funktioniert eigentlich der “Radical Candor” Ansatz? -Woran ist Oskar am meisten gewachsen? -Warum sollte jeder von uns selbst regelmäßig um Feedback bitten und noch wichtiger, warum sollten wir immer erst fragen, bevor wir Feedback geben? -Warum sollte die Person, die Feedback gibt, immer und wirklich immer weniger reden, als die Person, die Feedback bekommt? -Was können wir uns von den Spielerinnen und Spielern der U16 Nationalmannschaften des deutschen Hockey-Bundes abschauen? -Was ist sonst noch wichtig, z.B. auch dann, wenn wir Feedback bekommen? *... und warum es eine gute Idee sein könnte, das Buch “LET'S TALK - MAKE EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK YOUR SUPERPOWER” von Therese Huston zu lesen. Wir glauben ganz fest daran, dass uns mehr verbindet, als uns trennt. Das war nicht immer so. Als Vater und Sohn blicken wir auf 28 intensive Jahre zurück, in denen wir uns immer wieder aneinander gerieben haben. Heute wissen wir, dass wir in dieser Zeit vor allem viel voneinander und viel über uns gelernt haben. Schon seit einigen Jahren betreiben wir intensiv Reverse-Mentoring, darunter verstehen wir, dass wir uns gegenseitig an unseren Erfahrungen teilhaben lassen und so zu besseren Ideen und Lösungen kommen. Da sich die Medien immer noch am Generationenkonflikt abarbeiten und sich schon Firmen mit dem Versprechen gründen, den Boomern und der Gen X in den Vorständen der Unternehmen die Gen Z zu erklären, wollen wir Euch an unseren Gesprächen teilhaben lassen. Wie immer sind die Minuten für uns nur so verflogen, und wir hoffen, dass wir Euch einige Ansatzpunkte mitgeben konnten Überlegt bitte weiter gerne, was Ihr uns für die (Retroperspektive-)Folge 10 für Kommentare, Ideen oder Fragen mitgeben wollt!

In this episode, Dr. Therese Huston draws upon her new book, Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower, and her experience speaking to academic audiences and businesses like Microsoft and Amazon to teach us how to give feedback, even negative feedback, in a way that turns it into a productive conversation. She considers why 80% of managers feel they are saying the right things; but less than 20% of employees feel appreciated. She asks why men are evaluated on work skills while women are often judged on their personality. Dr. Huston identifies and exemplifies the three types of feedback as Appreciation, Coaching and Evaluation and asks us to discern what an employee wants and needs. She discusses how and why to use praise and urges us to side with the employee rather than the problem. She reminds us that if people feel threatened their brains go into lockdown. Inherent in her message of what makes feedback powerful is the principle -“ Listen as if your job depends on it.”

Feedback — both giving and receiving it — is such an integral part of life. These are often the pivotal moments that define our futures. So why do so many of us suck at feedback… and how do we get better? Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist at Seattle University, literally wrote the book on feedback. “Let's Talk” blends research with personal stories that share how to say what needs to be said in a way that people hear what they need to hear. And remote work makes things more complicated with a new set of etiquette that we haven't mastered yet!

不論是主管對部屬，或是同事間互相提供回饋，都不像在社群上按一個讚，或是傳送一張貼圖那麼簡單。有許多主管不知道如何開啟對話，更無法處理對方的情緒性反應，索性開始逃避「給回饋」這個重要的任務。 矽谷溝通名師、哈佛商業評論作者，同時也是認知心理學家的Therese Huston在新書《我想和你聊一聊》中分析，為什麼給回饋的壓力這麼大？也提出三個圓圈理論，帶領主管避開錯誤心態，把自己和部屬放在同一邊，不但能順利提出回饋，更能有效帶領部屬改善問題，完成目標。 主持人：吳韻儀 ＊推薦好書《我想和你聊一聊》：https://shop.cwbook.com.tw/SalePage/index/8124328 ＊訂閱天下全閱讀：https://reurl.cc/g7g0EN ＊意見信箱：bill@cw.com.tw ＊「天下雜誌App」清楚分類更好聽，點擊下載：https://bit.ly/3lFeSVE

Kwame Christian: How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race Kwame Christian is a best-selling author, lawyer, professor, and the Managing Director of the American Negotiation Institute. He has conducted countless specialized trainings worldwide and is a highly sought after keynote speaker. His best-selling book, Finding Confidence in Conflict has helped countless individuals overcome the fear, anxiety, and emotion associated with difficult conversations. The book was inspired by Kwame's TED Talk with the same name that has over 250,000 views. He's also host of the Negotiate Anything Podcast, the most popular negotiation podcast in the world. Kwame was the recipient of the John Glenn College of Public Affairs Young Alumni Achievement Award in 2020 and the Moritz College of Law Outstanding Recent Alumnus Award 2021. Additionally, Kwame is a business lawyer at Carlile, Patchen & Murphy LLP and serves a professor for The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law in its top-ranked dispute resolution program and Otterbein University's MBA program. He is also a Contributor for Forbes and his LinkedIn Learning course, How to Be Both Likable And Assertive, was the most popular course on the platform in July of 2021. He is the author of How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race: Practical Tools for Necessary Change in the Workplace and Beyond*. In this conversation, Kwame and I discuss how to begin a difficult conversation about race. We explore the key questions that each of us should ask ourselves so that we can determine in advance what we want to gain from a tough conversation. Finally, we look at the three critical things to say in the first 30 seconds that will help you start an important conversation that helps everybody move forward. Key Points It's hard for someone else to appreciate how much of a person's identity affects every other area of their lives until you've lived it. People explain away racism because they don't like it and don't want it to be true. Whether you think a conversation is about race or not, if it's about race for the other person then you're having a conversation about race. There questions to ask yourself before a conversation: What do I hope to accomplish in this conversation? Given what I know about them and the situation, what is likely to be their goal? What are three questions I can ask them that will help me to understand their position? Use situation, impact, and invitation as the starting point for a difficult conversation. Usually this is less than 30 seconds. “Naked facts” reduce the likelihood that someone will dispute the premise of what you are addressing.

Susan MacKenty Brady: Arrive and Thrive Susan MacKenty Brady is the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Chair for Women and Leadership at Simmons University and the first Chief Executive Officer of The Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership. As a relationship expert, leadership wellbeing coach, author, and speaker, Susan educates leaders and executives globally on fostering self-awareness for optimal leadership. Susan advises executive teams on how to work together effectively and create inclusion and gender parity in organizations. She is the coauthor, along with Janet Foutty and Lynn Perry Wooten, of The Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Arrive and Thrive: 7 Impactful Practices for Women Navigating Leadership*. In this conversation, Susan and I discuss the reality that while we may intend well on inclusion, real change starts with us first. We explore how implicit bias assessments can be useful in discovering where they bias is that we don't see in ourselves. Plus, we examine some of the key actions we can take on relationship building and repair in order to get better. Key Points Most of us intend well, but we often miss the opportunity to move from being an ally (alignment) to being an upstander (taking action in the moment). Utilizing an assessment can help us understand where our implicit biases diverge from our conscious thoughts. Curiosity and relationship-building isn't just for the moment — it's the before, during, and after of conversations to discover how we get better. When we make a misstep, move quickly and purposefully to repair the relationship.

Russ Laraway: When They Win, You Win Russ has had a diverse 28 year operational management career. He was a Company Commander in the Marine Corps before starting his first company, Pathfinders. From there, Russ went to the Wharton School, and then onto management roles at Google and Twitter. He then co-founded Candor, Inc., along with best selling author and past guest Kim Scott. Over the last several years, Russ served as the Chief People Officer at Qualtrics, and is now the Chief People Officer for the fast-growing venture capital firm, Goodwater Capital, where he is helping Goodwater and its portfolio companies to empower their people to do great work and be totally psyched while doing it. He's the author of the book When They Win, You Win: Being a Great Manager Is Simpler Than You Think*. It's the job of every leader to give feedback. In this episode, Russ and I discuss what to say and what to avoid when giving feedback. Plus, we explore how to think about truth and the most effective ways to start and close feedback conversations in order to help everybody move forward. Key Points Avoid spending too much time talking about the impending conversation and just have the conversation. Use language like this: “I think I'm seeing some behavior that I believe is getting in your way. Are you in a spot where you can hear that right now?” Use the framework of situation, behavior/work, and impact in order to organize your feedback. Invite dialogue by asking: “What are your thoughts about that?” Avoid framing feedback discussions around “the truth” — there are always multiple truths in every discussion like this. You are offering them what you see.

Nir Eyal, our guest of episode 277, sums up in one sentence what the readers can expect: “Empowers you with ninja listening skills, emotional management techniques, and whip smart scripts to create real behavior change and lasting trust.” Her own recipe as she describes it on her LinkedIn Profile? “In everything I do, I take smart research and translate it into even smarter practice.” For more than four and a half years we have been on our “way to new work”. How can a topic that plays such an important part in our everyday life create more meaning in our lives again? How do we get people to draw strength and motivation from their daily work again? How can a superpower like “effective feedback” help us in our various relationships? We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that bring us closer to the core of New Work! We are always concerned with the question of whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really want in their innermost being.

In this episode, Dr. Therese Huston draws upon her new book, Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower, and her experience speaking to academic audiences and businesses like Microsoft and Amazon to teach us how to give feedback, even negative feedback, in a way that turns it into a productive conversation. She considers why 80% of managers feel they are saying the right things; but less than 20% of employees feel appreciated. She asks why men are evaluated on work skills while women are often judged on their personality. Dr. Huston identifies and exemplifies the three types of feedback as Appreciation, Coaching and Evaluation and asks us to discern what an employee wants and needs. She discusses how and why to use praise and urges us to side with the employee rather than the problem. She reminds us that if people feel threatened their brains go into lockdown. Inherent in her message of what makes feedback powerful is the principle -“ Listen as if your job depends on it.”

In today's episode, we cover effective feedback with Therese Huston. Therese founded the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University, has given more than 225 keynotes, talks, and workshops, and is the author of Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower. Giving great feedback is not easy and poorly worded feedback can put anyone on the defensive, so what does effective feedback look like, what can you do to practice giving great feedback, and why is it important to get better at giving feedback? What to Listen For Therese Huston's Beginning - 0:00 What sparked Therese's interest in researching the topic of effective feedback? The 3 Different Types of Feedback - 1:49 What are the 3 different types of feedback and how do you put all 3 together to give the best feedback? How do you give genuine appreciation and use it to transition into coaching feedback? What is coaching and how is it different from pointing out what someone is doing wrong? What does it mean to separate the person from the problem when giving feedback and why is it important if you don't want the person to get defensive? Why does the feedback sandwich receive so much criticism and what is the correct way to use the technique? Cultivating a Growth Mindset Receptive to Feedback - 17:48 What can you do to cultivate a growth mindset in your managers so they can work with their employees rather than against them? Why do you need to state your intentions as a manager when giving feedback? What is the difference between a “me strength” and a “we strength” and why can a deficiency in one lead to a team's failure? How to be a Better Leader and Team Member - 31:55 What are the different types of listening and why is it crucial to use one instead of the other? What is critical listening and why can critical listening in the wrong situation lead to a breakdown in communication? What can you do as a manager to ask better questions and thus get better results? What can you do to bring out the potential in younger employees? How do you move past unconscious bias in the workplace? What challenges does working remotely introduce into the process of giving effective feedback and what can you do to overcome them? Giving feedback can feel like a delicate balance between being too harsh and being too nice. On one hand, if we're afraid to hurt their feelings, we might sugarcoat the issues and fail to impress upon them just how important it is that they improve. On the other hand, we want to be clear with people about what we want them to work on and why it's important they improve, but it can be easy to overwhelm them with what they're doing wrong and turn them against us.
