We're talking about that private conversation you have with yourself, the one we all have. That voice in your head that often says "You're not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, I'll never get it done " etc...That voice can be a huge block for your success unless you shift the messages to ones that are supportive and uplifting. Your thoughts greatly influence how you feel and behave which can cause negative self-talk to become downright self-destructive. Telling yourself that you’ll never be successful or that you aren’t as good as other people, will reduce your feelings of self-worth and deter you from facing your fears. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to recognize your inner critic and manage to change its influence on you.

How well do you ask questions? Most leaders don’t think about that often. After all, we don’t usually find “the ability to ask questions” on any list of leadership competencies, nor is it a part of what we learn in school. Ever since ancient times, we have discovered that a well thought out question carries a transformative power. It can lead to a breakthrough and ignite change. I’m sure you would agree that a brilliant question opens up the doors of the mind. Listen to this episode to learn more and dive deeper into understanding the power of questions.
We are habitual creatures. We fall into the trap of our own behavior and sometimes we can’t even recognize it. The habits we have developed are either setting us up for success or holding us back. Think about you and your own habits. Have you tried to cut the morning donut off or maybe get in the habit to work out more often, take your vitamins or eat better?
If you’ve struggled with that this episode is for you. Vanya and Katy talk about the habit loop, how to identify why you have certain behaviors and how to start changing them. SUBSCRIBE to listen to more episodes and get notified when a new one comes out.
