This week’s MindEspresso is about how to break conflict loops from the book Optimal Outcomes by Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler. She points out that conflict styles together with shadow values often get us stuck in loops.
She advocates 1. Creating awareness around our conflict by understanding our conflict styles 2. Zooming out by mapping to break the cycle and getting clear on the underlying values (ideal and shadow) behind the conflict 3. Choosing ideal future states and focusing on optimal outcomes.

This MindEspresso is about “not doing” so that you can focus on the things that matter. I’ll be looking at the brand new book The Not Doing List by Alexander Bant (He/Him), in it he shares his unique philosophy of creating a Not Doing List to guide your focus. As Steve Jobs said “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do,” which is the advice he gave to the CEO of Nike “Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff.”
And of course what you don’t do is the essence of strategy — eliminating the things that don’t give you leverage or strategic advantage to focus on the unique things that create leverage is the whole point of strategy.
As Bant says;
“So how do some leaders accomplish so much more? They are simply better at saying no. They appear to do it all, when in reality they are laser focused on what they won’t do. Their yes-to-no ratio is radically different from yours. “

This week’s MindEspresso looks at the importance of self-talk. As the Navy Seals preach you need to dominate your own self-talk or it will dominate you. We talk to ourselves between 15 and 50,000 times a day - we are our own most important coach but most of us do not think intentionally about how we coach ourselves. This MindEspresso is about how to intentionally direct your own self coaching through self-talk highlighting the work of Joe Dowling who wrote the book Zonefulness as well as referencing Mahatma Gandhi.

This MindEspresso is about the traits of elite leadership demonstrated by champions such as Tom Brady.
Sam Walker (now a leadership columnist for the WSJ) studied success on elite teams and what he found is that elite teams had elite leaders, leaders who were willing to do the dirty work,
who were focused and persistent,
who were constantly coaching,
who were pushing the boundaries...
En total he identified 7 traits of elite leaders who drove sustained success over time in the world of sports.
(the German National team jersey is from a talk I gave on building champions)
If you’re interested in talking about Elite Leadership you can join myself and others on clubhouse. I’m at @scott_Engler. I’m going to schedule a weekly session to discuss the topics and tactics from these MindEspressos under Elite Leadership. https://lnkd.in/dCi5Dh3

This MindEspresso is about the need and the purpose for #selfcompassion in your life. Recently an old friend (who I hadn’t talked to in some 10 years) took his own life. He was one of the most talented people I’d ever met, yet he never seemed to measure up to his own expectations. It made me reflect on one of the most profound insights I came across in my 5 years of podcast interviews with thought leaders: that self-compassion is a prerequisite for high performance and happiness. https://lnkd.in/etAsTZ3
Without self-compassion, you create anxiety, unneeded suffering and performance blocks. Lack of self-compassion can make you feel stuck and alone, prevent a healthy growth mindset, blind you to positive choices and sap you from motivations that move you forward. In a team setting, lack of self-compassion can cause cycles of self-pity and blame.
This MindEspresso on self-compassion looks at work by Dr. Andy Walshe, the former head of the Red Bull high-performance team, Kristen Neff, the author of Self-compassion, and Eckard Tolle, the author of the Power of Now.

MindEspresso: The Creator Zone
The secret to confidence and becoming a creator is to: 1. Operate with an abundance mentality and 2. Judge your worth by your internal values. If you live with a scarcity mentality you'll always be in a fearful state. If you live by other’s rules, you'll never feel in control. The key to living with confidence is to know that you can create a better world in alignment with your own values.
This MindEspresso is about why strategy fails and how to achieve 200% execution in 2021 by addressing the four strategy execution failure points: 1. Failure to Focus 2. Failure to Align 3. Failure to Energize 4. Failure to Track and Adjust.

How to design a great life! For anyone who is in job flux you should spend some time with Dave Evans from Stanford and his work on designing your life. I found it, personally, to be the most profound work that I covered in over 100 interviews with leaders. His message about how to look at problems in life is a giant reframe (turn frustrating problems into wicked good problems) for most of us, as are his takes on finding a passion and how to design your life.

#personalleadership
This vacation MindEspresso is about faux-influence versus real influence. Many people think “influence” is about making a good argument, being convincing and repeating... they don’t realize this thinking actually makes everyone else think LESS of their argument, think LESS of them and LESS-likely to ever want to talk to them again. Real influence is about understanding how someone sees a problem and helping them see that problem in a better light.
In this a Mind Espresso I feature the books The Catalyst by Jonah Berger, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss, Influence by Robert Cialdini, and The Challenger Sale by Brent Adamson.

This MindEspresso is from Steven Herz and his new book Don’t Take Yes For An Answer - In it he shares his learnings from working with talent for decades. His framework is: AUTHORITY - WARMTH - ENERGY or AWE.

This Labor Day Mind Espresso is about taking personal responsibility and extreme ownership for everything in your life. Once you accept that you’re responsible for everything in your - life your life changes for the better. I’m highlighting thought from
Jocko Willink Mark Manson and James Miller.
Why creating self discipline also creates self-confidence and ultimately freedom. Many people value what they think is “freedom” because choice in their minds means they don’t have to follow rules and that feels “free”, but ultimately that thinking creates less freedom and stops your progress.
So how to develop self discipline? 1. Be clear about your why and create a long term and short term plan that focuses on progress. 2. Prepare for distractions. 3. Create good habits and an environment for success.
In this one I look at Dr. Carol Dweck, author of Mindset, who studied how you raise resilient and accomplished kids in a world where everyone gets a trophy and is told they’re special. Her work on Growth Mindset was adopted by Microsoft as the core teaching of its new culture. This MindEspresso distills down Dr Dweck’s work and shares the story of Microsoft from my conversation with CPO Kathleen Hogan. **Critical Feedback encouraged. It’s just round 3, again, I’m going to try it for a couple of months to see if it’s useful.

This 3-minute MindEspresso is about Self-awareness. 90% of people are walking around unaware of what drives them and how others perceive them. That lack of awareness causes most of our problems and stops us from making progress. In this Espresso I share work from Tasha Eurich and her book INSIGHT and from Shayne Hughes from Learning as Leadership.
Stop asking why, ask what to gain internal awareness.
Use empathy to build a healthy network.
Know your Dreads and Desires and the unhealthy behaviors associated with them.
This MindEspresso is about understanding and taking control of emotions from Dr. Susan David, author of Emotional Agility, and Sean Webb, author of Mindhacking Happiness. Both authors argue that we determine our emotional state, not outside circumstances. David advises to treat your emotions as signals ( not as truth) and then to choose the emotional state that reflects your values.

Are you managing your brain chemistry in a healthy and productive way? What are you doing to the brain chemistry of those around you? Odd questions for most of us.
This MindEspresso is about managing the chemicals in your brain through your actions and thoughts from Dr. David Rock of the Neuroleadership Institute, Christine Comaford, the author of SmartTribes, and Will Bowen, the author of A Complaint Free World. How do your manage your brain to release Dopamine, Seratonin, Oxytocin and Endorphins vs. Norepinephrine/Cortisol? Why do you complain and what does that do to your brain chemistry? Dr. Rock says the most important things for people to remember is to think about the quality of your thinking. Will Bowen explains why we complain and how to stop: “complaining let’s us know there’s a victim in the neighborhood”

This Mind-Espresso is about reducing bias and fostering better decision-making featuring the work of Nobel prize winning behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman from his book Thinking, Fast and Slow. Kahneman argues that humans are not logical decision-makers and that we are overly-influenced by emotion and biases and that our lives are run by assumptive, automatic thinking which causes us to constantly make poor decisions. It’s a talk I’ve probably given over 100 times in different forms. It also details a useful thinking framework designed by long-passed Chicago Sun-Times Mike Royko. (I believe I'm the first person ever to link Daniel Kahneman to Mike Royko. :). Hope you find this useful.

This Mind Espresso is about mindset training; how to develop the mindset to take control of, and responsibility for, your emotional state. Many of us get stuck in hyper-reactive loops, where it seems like every time we feel peace we’re hit with some other news story that sends us spiraling: pandemic, politics, social discord... When you’re being assaulted by bad news it’s important to shift from victim to empowerment and take control of your emotional state. These lessons are from Tony Robbins and Amy Cuddy.
What do emotionally resilient people have in common? This MindEspresso is about emotional resilience in adverse circumstances. Steven Southwick and Dennis Charney studied resilient people and distilled down the 10 characteristics of emotionally resilient people in their book Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges.
I primarily work with corporate executives, but I also have a passion for personal leadership. I’ve started these Personal Leadership MindEspressos from people I’ve interviewed. Here is our podcast: https://lnkd.in/dxtN8PR
**Critical Feedback encouraged. I’m going to try it for a couple of months to see if it’s useful. I've also started a small group for people to share their ideas around personal leadership. https://lnkd.in/ebvpHGt

This Mind Espresso is from Happiness Advantage author Shawn Achor on why it’s so important to LEAD YOUR BRAIN by setting a positive frame and positive intentions for your day.
The word failure just plain frightens and immobilizes people, as if a failure somehow means you, personally, are a failure. It's that fear, that we will be proven less than we think we are, that stops us from trying and growing and can ensnare us in a trap of insecurity. There are four lessons I've culled from our conversations with executives and coaches that help me reframe my fear of failure:
- Fear and Anxiety are Energy
- Failure is A Necessary Step Toward Success
- Failure is Not Personal
- There is Dignity in Failure
What you focus on you tend to find and, overtime, focus becomes a pattern that primes our expectations.

At some point you’re going to feel anxious, scared, depressed or angry. Feelings are normal, they are calls to action, to motivate and inspire. It is only when you allow your moods to control you that they become problems. Feelings just are and, logical or not, they are your truth at that moment and can‘t be ignored. But emotions can be deceiving because they are only true for as long as the emotion lasts. Emotions are not absolutes, but signals. They only become a problem when you’re out of balance. In these states you misread situations and make poor choices.

Self-Coaching has been shown to decrease anxiety by 25% and increase performance and confidence, yet most people don't take control of their own self-talk and give up performance and happiness.
MindRevv synthesizes over 20 different human need models from Maslow to Tony Robbins to create a roadmap that allows for awareness and mindful choice making.
The secret to confidence is to operate with an abundance mentality and be driven by internal values. If you live with a scarcity mentality you'll always be in a fearful state. If you live by others rules, you'll never feel in control. The key to living with confidence is to know that you can create a better world in alignment with your own values.
Negativity cycles are easy to slip into and sometimes hard to break. Because we're built to avoid negatives more than find positives, we can easily slip into states where we start coloring our world with negativity and projecting negativity out into the world.
MindRevv shares compelling research from Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, Shirzad Chamine and Dr. John Gottman about the need to prime ourselves with positive thinking
Because humans are innately negative, we tend to generate negative thoughts over positive thoughts. Choosing positive constructive thoughts are the simplest way to create immediate life change. You have to use, visualize and ask on a daily basis. Persistence is your ally.
As you improve your positivity ratio, you will notice that negative thoughts happen less often and positive thoughts regenerate and the more positive outcomes you expect, the more likely you are to receive them.
Emotions are short-lived signals that alert us to act differently. After the emotion passes, we have a choice as to what mode we want to best approach our day in. We're not chained to the emotion that passed through us, we can choose another mode if the one we're experiencing isn't useful to us.

Your Self-Image is really your operating code; it's your mind's blueprint by which you interpret events and how they affect you. The key to your behavior is to understand your self-image and where you might have distortions that are holding you back.
What you focus on you tend to find and, overtime, focus becomes a pattern that primes your expectations and becomes your reality.
LESSON: For each area of your life, write the situation as it currently stands, what your negative focus has been (if any) and what type of focus would empower you to (power) to experience life in a more fulfilling way:S

Your subconscious mind runs most of your decision-making and questions run our subconscious. Learning to pose positive questions to your subconscious is one of the most powerful ways to program your subconscious to stay focused on useful thoughts.
Underneath each of your beliefs is an ongoing behavior to conform to that belief. The key is to identify the belief and the aligned behavior and start reformatting those to healthy beliefs.
Many times we set out to do one thing and end up doing exactly the opposite.MindRevv breaks down the process of starting something as we encounter the outside world and react/respond to stimuli.
In changing your self-image it's important to change it in a way that will align with your experiences so that you stay in balance. Fake it till you make it, but fake it at the "edge of reality" and change will come more quickly and be sustainable. Then... move the edge.
We have beliefs about ourselves, our worth, our needs our abilities and much more. Those beliefs are the operating systems of our lives. To make change we have to uncover our beliefs and what effect those beliefs have on us.
Optimism is to a certain extent predetermined, but it's also heavily influenced by our mental process. How we interpret the world, our moods, our self-image and the thoughts we generate all play a role in our reactions and our state of mind. Using your mind muscles deconstructs the process to help you understand where you have the ability to direct your mood.
