In this episode of 5 min Fridays with coach Myrna, I delve into the profound impact of mindset transformation on personal growth and ambition. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Jamal Bryant's pajama mindset theory, she believes that embracing a stagnant mindset hinders individuals from reaching their full potential. Myrna passionately argues that breaking free from comfort and convenience is essential for achieving excellence and living a life of purpose, discipline, and self-respect. Her message is a compelling call to action, urging individuals to adopt a growth-oriented mindset, embrace discomfort, and honor the legacy of those who valued intentional living.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:1. **Evolve from Complacency to Growth**: Myrna stressed the importance of shifting from a complacent mindset to one that is growth oriented. This shift involves prioritizing self-awareness, problem-solving abilities, and a proactive perspective towards personal development.2. **Consciousness Over Comfort**: The concept of 'Consciousness Over Comfort' was introduced as a means to prioritize self-respect, discipline, and direction. By choosing discomfort over immediate comfort, individuals can propel themselves towards significant growth and transformation.3. **Stretch Yourself for Growth**: Myrna likened personal growth to stretching oneself like a rubber band. She emphasized that true growth only occurs when individuals push beyond their boundaries and actively seek opportunities to evolve and improve.A poignant quote from the episode that resonates with the theme of mindset transformation is, "Growth doesn't happen in your pajamas. It happens when you get dressed up for the next level of your life. You can't step into destiny dressed for dormancy." This quote encapsulates the essence of the episode, highlighting the need to break free from comfort zones and strive for personal excellence.By embracing discomfort, choosing consciousness over comfort, and actively seeking growth opportunities, individuals can embark on a transformative journey towards realizing their true potential. As Myrna aptly puts it, personal growth requires a willingness to step out of comfort zones and embrace the challenges that come with striving for excellence.To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

Reverse mentoring flips the script, pairing ambitious younger employees with seasoned leaders to share insights on today's hot topics, from tech trends to leadership styles. First popularized by Jack Welch at GE in the '90s, it's now a strategic powerhouse for attracting and retaining young talent. The magic happens when the right pairs are formed—think introverts with extroverts—to spark dynamic conversations. Engaging mentees in the process is key, as addressing any fears about crossing hierarchical lines lays the groundwork for trust. Without commitment, even the best matches can fizzle out. The perks are hard to ignore: Companies with reverse mentoring programs report a 72% boost in communication and an impressive 96% retention rate for younger employees. Participants leave feeling empowered, fostering innovation and keeping leaders in tune with market shifts. Plus, it amplifies diversity and inclusion by shedding light on workplace challenges. Take BNY Mellon, where the program has deepened connections and encouraged leaders to seek employee input.

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Are you really procrastinating, or are you afraid of your full potential? In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I explore how self-doubt and inner saboteurs like the Judge and the Avoider often wear the mask of procrastination. What if that “lazy” label you've given yourself is actually a shield against the fear of being brilliant? We'll talk about how small, compassionate steps (what I call micro wins) can help you shift from self-criticism to self-trust, and why your discomfort might actually be a signal that you're ready to grow. Whether you're building a business, writing that long-postponed blog post, or facing a personal challenge, the key is recognizing the brilliance that's already inside you. If you've ever stalled on your dreams and called it procrastination, this episode is your reminder that fear of potential is real, but it doesn't get to drive. #Procrastination #FearOfPotential #InnerSaboteurs #IntuitiveCoach #SelfConfidence #MindsetShift #womeninbusiness

Welcome to the eighth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! This week, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance at Broad River Retail, to reflect on Christine Caine's powerful session at the Summit. Christine Caine—author, speaker, and founder of the A21 anti-human trafficking campaign—shared her personal journey of discovering her life's purpose and the critical turning point that led her to confront the realities of human trafficking. In her talk, she warned leaders about the danger of drift—the subtle but steady loss of vision and purpose that happens when we simply do nothing. Charlie and Carl explore how Christine's stories, like discovering she was adopted and later encountering the vast scope of human trafficking, illustrate the need to stay anchored to a clear why. They unpack her vivid analogy of two beach umbrellas representing boundaries that prevent us from drifting and discuss how Memory Makers can apply these ideas in their own work and lives. The conversation highlights: - How to recognize and combat “drift” in leadership and life - The importance of boundaries, vision, and purpose to stay aligned - Practical ways Memory Makers are already using Christine's message to realign with their mission - Why leaders must intentionally Re-Anchor, Rebuild, and Reignite their passion to avoid languishing or losing focus This episode is a call to action for Memory Makers to be intentional lighthouses—staying grounded, shining with purpose, and helping others navigate life's currents toward meaningful impact.
