Have you ever felt that you had different “parts” within yourself – often with their own competing needs and goals? For instance, one part of you may feel driven to work hard every day, while another prioritizes relaxation; some parts may carry heavy emotions such as shame or fear, while others attempt to bury them with behaviors that are often maladaptive. While the interactions between these parts can sometimes create a sense of inner turmoil, getting to know each of them and striving to foster healing and harmony among them can help you access greater joy and balance in your life.

Ty Cutner is a level-two-trained personal development coach in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-known therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Ty is a contributing author to the best-selling book, “Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room,” as well as one of the leading coaches in the IFS community. He applies the IFS model to his workshops and his practice, which focuses on image coaching and relationship coaching. As our guest in Episode 234 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ty shares the following:

• An overview of our different parts as described by IFS, including managers, firefighters, and exiles, and how they work together in various contexts, with each having a positive intention for you — even if it doesn’t always seem that way
• Why it’s important to become aware of your parts, as well as the Self — an ever-present, loving energy within each of us that can heal conflicts between the parts
• Exercises, techniques, and a guided meditation designed to help you get in touch with your parts, soothe any discord between them, and begin interacting with them in a more harmonious, compassionate manner

As humans, we have an immense capacity for love and wisdom, with the power to be a source of light in the world.

Exploring a concept known as the human energy consciousness field may offer insights that can help us transfigure these patterns and achieve mental, emotional, and physical healing.

It’s often said that our thoughts create our reality.

Within teams, organizations, and interpersonal relationships, creating an environment in which everyone feels free to express their ideas and opinions is crucial for achieving optimal results. However, people often hesitate to say what’s really on their minds, particularly if they believe that it may conflict with widely held views or expectations.

Have you ever wrestled with an inner critic that berated you for any perceived flaws and prevented you from celebrating your strengths and achievements? While it can be difficult to fully accept yourself exactly as you are, self-acceptance is essential not only for your own happiness, but also the health of your relationships with others – and for leaders, self-acceptance is one of the keys to building high-performing teams.

Dr. Laura Gallaher is an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, USA Today best-selling author, and leadership coach. After the space shuttle Columbia exploded upon reentry in 2003, the NASA Kennedy Space Center hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the tragedy. She worked for eight years with NASA to positively influence the culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center, and was then hired by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to help manage radical changes with their performance management process and philosophy. Laura's company, Gallaher Edge, applies the science of human behavior to organizations so they can gain an edge, achieve together, and enjoy the journey. As our guest in Episode 227 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Laura shares the following:

• Why psychological safety, which begins with self-acceptance, is crucial for workforce success, as well as tips for leaders seeking to cultivate both
• Why self-acceptance should also include accepting your inner critic and striving to create harmony between them and your inner champion
• The relationship between self-improvement and self-acceptance, and why accepting yourself as you are will not necessarily prevent you from continuing to grow and improve

In a world filled with distractions, it can be challenging to focus your energy on the pursuits that will bring you optimum happiness and fulfillment. The secret to reaching your goals, overcoming barriers that may be holding you back, and attracting what you truly desire may lie in the powerful quantum fields that surround each of us.

Dr. Jeffrey Fannin is known globally for his work on brain mapping, including his research on cognitive neuroscience, focusing on brain function and changing subconscious limiting beliefs.

His recent research interest is on the effect of subtle energy in the quantum field and consciousness affecting the brain. In Episode 226 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Fannin discusses the following:

• The concept of the quantum energy field and how harnessing its power can bring about incredible results in your life

The greatest challenges for any business include figuring out how to make their product or service stand out amidst a competitive field, attract clients, and drive sales. While large companies may have adequate resources to invest in building a widely recognized brand, most small and medium-sized businesses must rely on marketing strategies that will quickly yield results.

John Dwyer, our guest in Episode 225 of The Mindset Game® podcast, is a marketing enigma – a direct response customer attraction expert who thinks way outside of the box. With a mantra that one’s marketing needs to “wow” prospects, John’s consultancy business is called the Institute of Wow. He helps business owners understand how to exploit platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn by implementing incentive-based marketing offers that can be targeted specifically to certain audiences. He is also known for shocking the marketing world by convincing Jerry Seinfeld to come out of retirement! In this week’s episode, John discusses the following:

• Why offering incentives for your customers is more effective than other common strategies, such as lowering prices – particularly when the incentives are based on a keen understanding of your target clientele
• The importance of surrounding yourself with positive people who ask “why not?” instead of “why?” and encourage you to never give up, regardless of the circumstances
• The 5 components of direct response marketing: highlight someone’s problem; aggravate that problem; offer the solution (buying from your business); provide proof, such as testimonials from other clients; and use a strong call to action

Whether you’re a sales professional or a business owner or leader, maintaining a consistent stream of current and prospective clients is crucial for business growth and success. However, many people are uncomfortable with the sales process, often due to a fear of rejection or feeling like they are being bothersome. To overcome these feelings, it’s crucial to develop a mindset that is focused on the value you bring and how you can help others achieve things they didn’t think were possible – what Mark Hunter, our guest in Episode 224 of The Mindset Game® podcast, refers to as the “sales hunter” mindset.

Mark's professional journey has included multiple sales and leadership roles with three Fortune 500 companies, which provided the foundation for him to create the name, “The Sales Hunter,” more than 20 years ago.

• Specific techniques for overcoming feelings of hesitation or discomfort when approaching sales prospects, such as reflecting on how you’ve helped other clients in the past and focusing on who you can impact each day
• Why the questions you ask are more important than the statements you make, as well as some key questions to ask when trying to build trust and rapport with sales prospects
• Insights that can be beneficial for both sales leaders and the leaders of teams

While the term “addiction” is generally associated with the misuse of drugs or alcohol, there is a wide range of substances or behaviors that have the potential to become addictive – including those that are generally considered positive, such as work or exercise.

• An in-depth explanation of the science behind addiction, how it differs from a healthy passion or hobby, and why addiction to anything is harmful
• Practical strategies for avoiding addiction triggers and either reducing or eliminating use of a substance or behavior you may be addicted to, as well as tips for supporting others in your life who may be struggling

Have you ever felt that you were constantly busy, but not necessarily productive in terms of achieving your highest-level goals?

• Simple tests, such as the longevity and intergenerational tests, and other techniques to help you identify what is essential amongst competing priorities
• Key mindset shifts that are necessary for living an essentialist life The 85% rule, which embodies the idea that working in an optimal state – rather than at maximum, 10x intensity – will yield better, more sustainable results in the long run

Have you ever felt hurt by someone, and found yourself still holding onto feelings of resentment, sadness, or anger many years later? While it’s common to blame our pain on what others have said or done to us, the true roots of our suffering often lie in our own thoughts or beliefs.

In 1986, at the bottom of a 10-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered – and when she questioned them, she didn't suffer. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, called “The Work,” consists of four questions and a turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for over 30 years. Her books include the best-selling book, “Loving What Is: Four Questions that Can Change Your Life.” As our guest in Episode 220 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Byron Katie shares the following:

• An overview of The Work and how its four questions – Is this thought true? Can you absolutely know that it’s true? How do you react when you believe the thought? Who would you be without that thought? – can help you identify and reverse the thoughts that may be keeping you feeling confused, afraid, or lesser than
• How the ego can sometimes unintentionally keep us feeling hurt by focusing on the wrongs of others, and how the self-inquiry process can help soothe the ego
• Other gifts of self-inquiry, such as a more open mind, a greater sense of compassion, and an enhanced ability to understand and connect with others

Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 9 a.m. PT, Byron Katie hosts “At Home with BK,” a virtual session in which she masterfully guides others in doing The Work. To learn more or register for upcoming sessions, visit https://thework.com.

We are constantly surrounded by polarities, from those found in the natural world – such as light and darkness or birth and death – to those in our professional lives, such as the decision to grow your business or keep it small. While it may sometimes seem that opposite ends of a polarity cannot coexist in harmony, the reality is that they both need each other, and navigating them effectively is essential for living a happy, balanced life.

In Episode 219 of The Mindset Game® podcast, we welcome back Jason Campbell, who joined us previously to talk about breath mastery. His unique perspective on music, health, wellness, and spiritual growth comes from his lifelong study of both music and the ancient arts of Eastern health, medicine, meditation, and enlightenment. He is a seventh-degree black belt and co-founder of Zen wellness, teaching meditation, Eastern medicine, tai chi, qigong, sword and enlightenment at a 400-acre ranch in the mountains of Arizona. After guiding us through a powerful breathing exercise, Jason discusses the following:

• The importance of understanding the concept of yin and yang and the role of different polarities in our lives, as well as tips for managing them effectively
• Why your perception of a “problem” is often a greater obstacle than the problem itself, and two self-mastery keys that can help alleviate stress and conflict: preparation and emotional regulation
• The three different types of karma (or cause and effect) – your own, that of other people, and universal karma – and how managing your own personal karma can help create greater harmony in your life and the world around you

In our complex world, it often seems that we are surrounded by polarities – opposing views, values, goals, or approaches, such as centralization vs. decentralization, introversion vs. extroversion, or autonomy vs. control. While we may feel compelled to choose one side of a polarity or another, striving to connect the opposing sides may offer a more effective, sustainable approach.

Ivo Brughmans has been doing practice-based research on paradoxical thinking and leading for the last 15 years, and has written four books on the topic. His latest book is “Paradoxical Leadership: How to Make Complexity an Advantage.” In his work, Ivo develops a “both/and” perspective as a radical alternative to our current way of living, managing, governing, and coaching. He has a deep conviction that this perspective helps create more sustainable solutions to the challenges of the 21st century, providing the fundamentals for a fulfilled and balanced life, for better-performing and more innovative organizations, and for a better world. He gives keynotes, leads workshops and training programs on paradoxical leadership, and works with public and private organizations throughout Europe and around the globe. In Episode 215 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ivo shares the following:

• Why “either/or” thinking may be particularly risky in today’s world, where polarization often leads to more extreme, disruptive measures and countermeasures
• Why digging deeper and asking questions is often more important than finding answers, particularly when a group collectively engages in a dialogue that involves exploring the different energies underlying polarities
• Tips for leaders on how to effectively navigate change and other situations where members of their teams may hold opposing views

Have you ever had a goal that seemed so ambitious that you weren’t sure it was achievable? When our minds conceive a dream, we typically try to determine whether it is possible before taking steps to pursue it. However, this may lead to prematurely letting go of dreams that not only make you feel alive and inspired, but that also may in fact be possible with sufficient courage, clarity, and determination.

As a pioneering, combat-proven leader, inspiring speaker, and celebrated author, Colonel Martha McSally is a compelling example of overcoming adversity and fear to achieve extraordinary feats, including becoming the first woman in U.S. history to fly an Air Force fighter jet and command a fighter squadron in combat. Martha deployed six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours in the A-10 attack plane, for which she earned the Bronze Star and six Air Medals. Her book, “Dare to Fly: Simple Lessons in Never Giving Up,” inspires readers to follow their hearts and live the lives they were meant to live, fully aligned with their divine essence. In Episode 213 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Martha shares incredible stories from her life experiences, as well as the following insights:

• The importance of getting clear on the vision you have for your future self, embodying it in the present, and taking inspired action toward that vision, rather than getting stuck on how you will achieve it
• Specific tips for connecting with the true essence of who you are, which can help you identify expansive opportunities that align with your higher calling
• How to differentiate between the types of goals will enable you to truly expand and grow, versus those that may be rooted in less empowering motivations

According to industry leaders such as Forbes, LinkedIn, and the World Economic Forum, the ability to influence and persuade others is among the top three essential soft skills in today’s business world. However, it’s crucial that persuasion is conducted in an ethical manner, ensuring that a favorable outcome is likely for all parties involved.

Known as the “godfather of influence,” Dr. Robert Cialdini has spent over 40 years conducting scientific research on how to ethically persuade others. He's the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion,” which has sold over 8 million copies, and “Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade.” In addition to his groundbreaking research, Dr. Cialdini has built his reputation by going undercover at used car dealerships, fundraising organizations, and telemarketing firms to observe persuasion in the wild. Numerous leading enterprises have sought his expertise, including Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway. Through the Cialdini Institute, the world's most trusted educational institute in ethical persuasion, he has combined his knowledge into seven principles of persuasion, offering a systematic approach that anyone can use to get a “yes” more often. In Episode 212 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Cialdini discusses the following:

• Why ethical influence is more effective than non-ethical influence, as well as surprising results from Dr. Cialdini’s research demonstrating the effects that an ethical vs. unethical culture can have on an organization’s employees and bottom line
• Why it’s crucial for leaders to develop a mindset aimed at developing a culture of ethical persuasion within their organizations
• A detailed description of the 7 principles of influence: reciprocation; likability; authority; social proof; commitment and consistency; scarcity; and unity

From a young age, we begin developing thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and the world around us based on the interactions and experiences we have with our families and other influential figures in our lives. As we grow up, these beliefs – particularly those that are rooted in trauma – can have a significant impact on our relationships and the choices we make as adults.

After experiencing a series of difficult and traumatic circumstances throughout his childhood and young adulthood, Steve Bacon (nicknamed “Coach Steve”), is now a master of identity reconstruction, which means helping people shape their self-image, and as a result, transform their life. As an intuitive mentor to leaders, the founder and CEO of Belief Theory, a Master Life Coach, international speaker, and author, Steve is a spiritual teacher who has dedicated his life to helping others achieve self-mastery and emotional well-being, as well as to discover their inner power to overcome any obstacle, rewrite their destinies, and create lives of unparalleled success and fulfillment. As our guest in Episode 210 of The MINDset Game® podcast, Steve shares the following insights:

• Why examining and shifting the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that you’ve harbored since childhood may be more important than validating your inner child
• Real-life examples of how childhood experiences can create certain patterns and beliefs in adulthood, including powerful stories from Steve’s own life
• Eight key principles that can help you heal from trauma to build healthier relationships and a happier, more fulfilled life

When seeking to reach new levels of greatness in your personal life, your organization, or the world at large, one of the most important steps is to get clear on what you want to achieve and why, in addition to ensuring that you are truly ready to pursue your goals. This requires having an in-depth understanding of where you currently are, where you want to go, and being able to draw a straight line between the two points.

At just 11 years old, Dr. Jeff Spencer wrote a contract with himself to participate in the 1972 Olympic Games, a goal he accomplished when he competed in two separate cycling events – and in the process, solidified his fascination with goal achievement as a human performance. Now, with five decades of experience creating champions, Jeff has helped athletes win over 40 gold medals and cycling teams to eight Tour de France victories. He has also authored three books, been awarded International Sports Chiropractor of the Year, and is the creator of the Champion’s Blueprint methodology. With notable clients that include Tiger Woods, Sir Richard Branson, the band U2, Lance Armstrong, and many others, Jeff is most renowned as a mentor to thought leaders and businesses who want to exponentially grow and catapult to iconic status. In Episode 210 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Jeff discusses the following:

• Why our state of readiness – which is informed by the time and resources we have available, our experiences, and how we think and interpret the world – is crucial when beginning to pursue goals
• The importance of setting goals that are RIGHT, which stands for resonance, impact, growth, humanity, and time
• How tapping into your intuition can be even more powerful than the guidance you glean from your conscious awareness
• Why soothing your hardwired survival instincts is essential for unlocking your “seeker self” and developing a champion’s mind

From the messages we receive from our families growing up to fad diets trending on social media, we are constantly bombarded with ideas about how we should or should not eat and what our bodies should look like. Unfortunately, for many of us, these messages may lead to disordered eating, harmful emotions surrounding food, or body image issues.

As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro has specialized in treating eating disorders and trauma for the past 25 years. She trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic experiencing and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), before discovering the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, which we discussed in last week’s episode with Dr. Richard Schwartz. As an approved IFS consultant, Dr. Catanzaro served as the director of a day treatment program for eating disorders for two years, and is the author of the book, “Unburdened Eating: Healing Your Relationships with Food and Your Body Using an Internal Family Systems Approach.” In Episode 208 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Catanzaro shares the following:

• The various “burdens” we may take on over time as a result of the messages we receive from our families and society, and how these may impact our beliefs and behaviors regarding food and our bodies
• How the framework provided by IFS – which describes the relationships between our core, undamaged selves and our various parts that have taken on burdens throughout our lives – can be helpful in building healthier relationships with food
• The power of getting curious and compassionate (rather than critical) about the parts of yourself that may be driving certain beliefs or behaviors regarding food, inquiring about how they came to harbor those beliefs, and healing them if needed

Dr. Catanzaro then guides us through an exercise designed to help us better understand our protective parts, connect with them, and begin to shift them if need be.

To learn more about IFS and access a variety of resources, visit https://ifs-institute.com, or look for Dr. Catanzaro’s book, "Unburdoned Eating" on Amazon.

As complex beings, we all encompass many different inner parts, or aspects of ourselves. Often, these parts may conflict, or we may feel ashamed or angered by those parts that we consider “bad” and therefore, try to suppress them. However, each of our parts serves a particular function that is meant to help us in some way, and by understanding where they all might have come from, how they work together, and how to foster healing and harmony among our various parts when needed, we can create space for our true, core selves to shine through.

Dr. Richard Schwartz, our guest in Episode 207 of The Mindset Game® podcast, is the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a widely used, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that is particularly effective for dealing with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, corporations, and classrooms. After beginning his career as a family therapist, Dr. Schwartz now serves on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and has published five books, including “No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model.” In this week’s episode, Dr. Schwartz shares the following:

• The 8 Cs of “Self” or Self-leadership — calm, confident, curious, compassionate, courageous, creative, clear, and connected — which represent who we truly are at our core when we allow the other parts of ourselves to step aside and create space
• How understanding the different parts of ourselves can help us become more effective leaders, particularly for those who may have developed an over-attachment to the inner parts that have fueled their success
• A framework to better understand the different parts of yourself – including the critics, protectors, managers, and inner children – and why they may behave in certain ways

Dr. Schwartz then guides us through an exercise designed to help us get in touch with those parts of ourselves that serve as protectors.

When seeking to create change in our own lives or within our teams and organizations, one of the biggest challenges is finding a way to ensure that the changes can be sustained over time and desired by all who are affected by them. For leaders in particular, developing an awareness of some of the psychological and neuroscience-related factors behind change – and what often triggers resistance to it – can aid in the process of building positive, lasting change.

With his well-established intentional change theory and complexity theory, Dr. Richard Boyatzis continues to research how people and organizations engage in sustainable, desired change. The theory predicts how changes occur in different groups of human organizations, including teams, communities, countries, and globally. Dr. Boyatzis has a PhD in Social Psychology from Harvard University, a bachelor's degree in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT, and is the author of more than 200 articles and nine books, including “Helping People Change: Coaching with Compassion for Lifelong Learning and Growth” and “Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence.” He is a frequent speaker on the international circuit, has consulted to many Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and organizations, and his massive open online course (MOOC), titled “Inspiring Leadership through Emotional Intelligence,” has over 1.5 million unique visitors from over 215 countries. As our guest in Episode 205 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Boyatzis discusses the following:

• Why adaptability and openness to new ideas – rather than strict adherence to defined goals – are crucial for bringing about change
• The importance of entering a “positive emotional attractor” state, which is linked to feelings of openness and renewal, as well as some tips that can help you attain this state
• Why diversity in organizations – both diversity of people and diversity of thought – is crucial for driving innovation and other key goals
• Specific tips to help leaders create a sense of purpose among their teams, imagine more possibilities for the future, and build more caring relationships within their organizations

For all of us, loss is a painful, yet inevitable, part of life – whether we’re facing the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job or a dream that didn’t come to fruition, or navigating a major change that represents the loss of a previous way of life. As difficult as it may be, the key to successfully persevering through these circumstances may be to face them head on, focusing on the factors we can control and letting go of those we cannot.

As companies of all sizes seek to drive valuation, they often encounter challenges that can lead to a disconnect between the steps they are taking to grow and succeed in the market and the results they are delivering for their customers, employees, shareholders, and communities. For business leaders, adopting a growth mindset and a “learn-it-all” culture (rather than a “know-it-all” culture) may be the key to overcoming these challenges and enjoying continued success.

As founder of the world-renowned Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), which has over 18,000 members globally, Verne Harnish has chaired EO’s premier CEO program held at MIT for 15 years, and has spent the past four decades helping companies to scale up.

When facing chronic health issues or other conditions that may impair your quality of life and longevity, it can be beneficial to address a range of different factors that may be affecting your health. However, conventional Western medicine often disregards some of these factors, so keeping an open mind and being willing to explore various approaches – rather than blindly following medical advice – is crucial.

As a clinical researcher, assistant clinical professor of family medicine, and founder of the Virginia Research Center and Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine, Dr. Aaron Hartman began his journey into functional medicine when he and his wife adopted their first daughter from foster care. They went from specialist to specialist seeking treatment for her dietary issues and cerebral palsy – but even as a physician, the process caused Dr. Hartman to confront an uncomfortable realization: our current healthcare system does not have all the answers. Today, he helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle and health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve. In Episode 202 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Hartman discusses:

• The triangle of health, which consists of gut health, stress, and sleep, as well as specific tips for improving each area
• Significant internal and external factors that may contribute to chronic disease – many of which are surprising, such as carpeting in your home or common cleaning products
• How your mindset and beliefs can affect your health and healing, specifically when it comes to being an active participant in your healthcare and keeping an open mind about a variety of approaches and recommendations

Have you ever found yourself pursuing a career or other endeavor and asking, “Is this all there is?” Many of us live our lives by default – following paths because we have found success with them, or because we’re trying to live up to the expectations that others may have for us. However, this approach often leads to feelings of burnout, dissatisfaction, or a lack of passion. A more fulfilling alternative is to start with finding your “why,” or the underlying motivation that drives everything you do.

After building a successful dentistry practice, Dr. Gary Sanchez realized that there was something bigger he was meant to be doing with his life. He is now an international speaker, author, inventor, and founder and CEO of the WHY Institute. He is best known as Dr. WHY for discovering the nine WHYs and creating the world's first why discovery tool, an online assessment that helps people accurately discover their why in under five minutes. Dr. Sanchez is the author of the book, “The Power of the 9 WHYs: How People and Teams Get Clear, Stand Out and Play Bigger,” and he is now on a mission to help one billion people unleash their true selves by discovering their WHY operating system, or what he calls WHY.os. In Episode 201 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Sanchez discusses the following:

• How discovering your why can help you access greater energy, passion, and success in what you do, as well as techniques to help you find your why
• The 9 WHYs, all of which live inside each of us – yet we each have one why that surfaces more strongly than the others
• The relationship between your why (motivation), your how (process), and your what (deliverable)

Beginning in early childhood, we acquire beliefs and programming from our families and communities that shape how we interact with the world, as well as various factors throughout our lives, including our physical health. However, it’s estimated that we may not even be aware of up to 95% of this programming, which takes place in our subconscious minds and is often disempowering. To create happier, healthier lives for ourselves and those around us, it may be necessary to rewrite some of this programming – particularly as we navigate a world in which our current ways of doing things are no longer sustainable.

As a lecturer and cell biologist who has performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University, Dr. Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. He is the best-selling author of “The Biology of Belief,” “The Honeymoon Effect,” and co-author with Steve Bhaerman of “Spontaneous Evolution.” In 2009, he received the prestigious Goi Peace Award from Japan in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony. In celebration of our 200th episode of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Lipton joins us to discuss the following:

• Why the current state of our world – which has been heavily influenced by Darwinian theory and values competition over cooperation – is unsustainable, and why finding ways to return to the “garden,” which represents a state of harmony with each other and with nature, will be the only way to survive and thrive into the future
• The power of our programming, and why it’s crucial to become more conscious of it and strive to change those beliefs and habits that are no longer serving us
• A scientific explanation behind the idea that we can create our own “heaven” with better health, joy, love, and harmony – but the process must begin with becoming aware of and then changing our programming

However, various limiting beliefs and mindsets can create obstacles to implementing these changes, particularly if you are considering a less conventional lifestyle or any path that may diverge from perceived expectations.

From reduced stress to greater focus, practicing meditation can offer a wide array of physical, mental, and emotional health benefits. However, many people – particularly business leaders and other high achievers – find meditation challenging, as they struggle to quiet their minds and eliminate distractions. Breath work offers a powerful way to access the many benefits of meditation, thereby opening yourself to greater clarity and creativity.

Jason Campbell, our guest in Episode 196 of The Mindset Game® podcast, began his journey into meditation, music, and wellness 46 years ago, when his teacher told him to “never listen to notes, but instead listen to the space between the notes.” An accomplished composer and pianist, he has released over 100 albums and has been number one on multiple Billboard and Amazon charts. Jason's unique perspective on music, health, wellness, and spiritual growth comes from his lifelong study of both music and the ancient arts of Eastern health, medicine, meditation, and enlightenment. In this week’s episode, Jason shares the following insights from his signature program, “Breath Mastery for Entrepreneurs”:

• The core meaning of meditation, which is to stop thinking – however briefly – and simply be present in the moment
• The concept of the three treasures – matter, energy, and consciousness – and how they may come into play during meditation
• How quieting the mind can help enhance the function of the pineal gland, a part of the brain that functions like an antenna to help us access a higher level of wisdom and creativity

Jason then guides us through a three-minute breath exercise designed to help us pause our cognitive thought processes and be more present.

Have you ever felt that despite your best efforts, you are falling short of achieving what you truly want in life? For most of us, the road to success and fulfillment contains many pitfalls and diversions, and creating your best life requires key ingredients such as clarity on your goals and values and consistency in your efforts.

Nic Peterson, our guest in Episode 195 of The MINDset Game® podcast, is a serial entrepreneur and the author of the book, “Bumpers: The Framework for Finding Your Personal Abundance, Maximum Productivity, Greatest Profits and Highest Quality of Life.” Nic wrote this book in response to a recurring question he received – how do you get so much done in so many different industries? Similar to the bumpers you'd put up in a bowling alley, the bumpers that Nic shares with us will allow you to play all in with 100% effort, while keeping you out of the gutter. In this episode, he discusses the following strategies to help you live the life you really want:

• The value of concentrating your efforts on trying to prevent negative outcomes in the first place, as opposed to allowing them to happen and then recovering – and how sharpening your sense of hindsight and establishing your non-negotiables can help in this process
• Why focusing on improving your “rolling average” may be a more effective and sustainable approach than trying to constantly improve upon your best results
• Why it’s crucial to be honest with yourself in getting clear on what you truly want in life, and constantly checking in with yourself to identify what’s most important to you

From health problems to challenging interpersonal relationships, we all experience crises of varying degrees throughout our lives. While a common pitfall is to adopt a “victim” mentality, a more empowering approach is to search for the lessons amidst these crises and use them to ignite our growth and evolution.

From the time she was a young child, Lynn Balter has navigated an array of personal crises, including family trauma, sexual assault, breast cancer, addiction, divorce, and more. However, she developed the mindset that these challenges were perfectly intended for her growth – a growth that would continue to align her personality to her soul, or what she calls her “true self.” After earning her business administration degree from Western Michigan University, Lynn moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, where she began her career as a property manager and real estate broker before becoming a highly successful entrepreneur in the vacation rental industry. Following her son’s autism diagnosis, Lynn has helped raise millions of dollars for Autism Speaks and the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center. She is also the author of the book, “Walking Through Pain to Purpose.” In Episode 192 of The MINDset Game® podcast, Lynn shares more of her inspiring story, as well as the following insights:

• Why it’s important to examine the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that have repeatedly surfaced throughout your life – particularly in response to difficult circumstances – and strive to shift those that may no longer be serving you
• The power of going inward when faced with challenges and trying to identify the lessons they may be trying to teach you, as well as the parts of yourself that may need healing
• How using the lessons you’ve learned from your challenges as a way to help others who may be facing similar situations can help fuel further transformation and joy in your life

In today’s world, there’s a growing sense that change is happening at an unprecedented pace, and the ways that things have been done in the past may no longer serve us in the future. Successfully navigating this evolving, increasingly complex reality will require a new level of leadership, which some experts have referred to as “integral leadership.”

In Episode 187 of The MINDset Game® podcast, we dive into the concept of integral leadership with our guest, Bob Anderson. As the founder and Chief Knowledge Officer of The Leadership Circle and co-author of the books, “Mastering Leadership” and “Scaling Leadership,” Bob has been a pacesetter in the field of leadership development for over 30 years. He created The Leadership Circle Profile™, a 360-degree assessment used by organizations worldwide to measure the effectiveness of their leaders (both individually and collectively), chart a pathway for their development, and assess their progress along the way. In this week’s episode, Bob discusses the following:

• Different stages of leadership development, beginning with reactive leadership, in which we’re authored by those around us, then progressing to creative leadership, in which we shift to an internal locus of control and self-authoring process, and finally culminating in integral leadership, in which we’re authored by an emergent future
• Characteristics that define integral leadership, and techniques that can help leaders reach this level
• Scientific insights that support the concept of integral leadership and the capacity to tune into a new emergent paradigm
• How embracing Eastern practices, including intuition and expanded consciousness, can help leaders at any level achieve higher states of awareness

Have you ever found yourself in the habit of using a certain product, program, or platform when seeking to alleviate an uncomfortable feeling (such as stress or boredom) or access an overall greater sense of satisfaction? Many of the items that we use in our day-to-day lives were intentionally designed to be habit-forming – and understanding the psychology behind what makes these products so catchy can be beneficial for both their developers and consumers alike.

• Specific examples of how these factors come into play in commonly used products
• How the “lean startup methodology” of building, measuring, and learning can work with the hook model to make products more habit-forming, as well as 5 fundamental questions to ask when striving to develop more engaging products
• Types of products or services to which the hook model does not apply

Have you ever contemplated the question, “How can I live a good life?” In ancient times, famous Greek and Roman philosophers, such as Aristotle, Plato, and Epictetus, answered this timeless question with one word: “areté,” which translates to “excellence” or “virtue.” However, the word’s deeper meaning refers to being your best self on a moment-to-moment basis.

In our modern times, how can we each be our best selves moment by moment, particularly when faced with seemingly endless distractions and often negative influences?

• How to balance self-compassion with the discipline to hold yourself to higher standards

When faced with tension or a dilemma, many people seek to resolve it by focusing on one solution or another. However, in situations where a polarity may be at play, supplementing this “either/or” thinking with “both/and” thinking is crucial for successfully navigating change and conflict, thereby leading to better results and greater harmony.

As the creator of the first polarity map and set of principles, Dr. Barry Johnson has been sharing his passion for polarity thinking with a wide range of organizations around the world since 1975. He is also the chairman of Polarity Partnerships, which has helped build a collaborative international community of polarity practitioners, and the author of “Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems.” In Episode 179 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Barry discusses the following:

• The concept of polarities – which are interdependent pairs that need each other over time, as well as energy systems in which we live and work – and why it’s crucial to understand them
• The importance of distinguishing between problems to solve and polarities to leverage
• Real-world examples of companies that have navigated polarities in order to optimize results
• How polarities may be particularly helpful in the context of organizational change

Throughout our lives, we all have experiences that may feel traumatic to some extent. Whether we realize it or not, these experiences often leave a lasting emotional and psychological impact, which can manifest in physical conditions or illnesses – sometimes many years later. Therefore, when seeking to overcome illness and achieve greater wellness, it may be beneficial to get curious about the psycho-emotional roots underlying our physical health and develop new patterns focused on healing.

One approach that aims to better understand and leverage the power of the mind-body connection is called META Health, which is based on the belief that our lived experiences often show up in our physical and psychological health as symptoms, diagnoses, and conditions. In Episode 178 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, we discuss this approach with our guest, Dr. Craig Weiner. As a doctor of chiropractic medicine and certified META Health trainer, as well as the co-director of the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping Training Institute and an approved Matrix Reimprinting trainer, Dr. Weiner is an expert on EFT Tapping and other techniques intended to alleviate physical pain and emotional distress, while helping others understand the mind-body connection and feel more empowered when it comes to their own health. In this week’s episode, Dr. Weiner discusses the following:

• The importance of approaching physical symptoms with curiosity and tapping into your body’s innate wisdom, inquiring about what it may be trying to heal or to show you
• How the language you use to describe what you’re experiencing physically may be a clue to the psycho-emotional roots of your condition
• How “UDIN” moments – which are unexpected, dramatic, and isolating moments in which you felt, at the time, that you had no resources to cope with them – can create patterns that eventually affect your physical and mental health
• Steps and techniques that can help you shift harmful patterns and move toward healing

When you ask yourself the question, “Who am I?”, several different responses may come to mind related to your professional roles, personal traits, and relationships—for instance, you might answer, “I am an entrepreneur,” “I’m a perfectionist,” or “I am a parent.” However, our identities tend to shift over time, which can lead to feelings of discomfort, but can also present exciting new opportunities.

As the Associate Director at the Christensen Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard Business School, Dr. Alexandra Sedlovskaya focuses her research on a variety of areas, including management, education, and pedagogies that support participant-centered learning.

• The different types of identities that exist within all of us—personal, social, and role identities—and the importance of having multiple meaningful identities
• The power of reframing identity crises as identity explorations, which may include a cycle of continually shifting from “identity achieved” to uncertainty and discovery, and back again
• Tips for navigating shifts in your identity, particularly when those shifts may implicate social stigmas and deviations from what you think is expected of you
• How leaders can create a culture and environment where people can feel safe to be themselves without having to mask different aspects of their identities

Whether you’re navigating health challenges or the simple stresses of day-to-day life, there are several different modalities that may provide relief and enhance overall wellness. One modality that has gained popularity for its ease of use, versatility, and scientific backing is known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a set of techniques involving a gentle tapping or percussion of the fingertips on the skin intended to reduce psycho-physiological stress.

After serious health setbacks in her twenties led her to discover the power of EFT, Arishma Singh has become an expert in the modality. As a globally certified and accredited EFT practitioner, Arishma leveraged EFT tapping to develop her own methodology called THRIVE, which she shares in her book, “The Respected Salesperson,” in an effort to enable high performers to achieve sustainable success without compromising their well-being. She also uses EFT tapping to empower individuals and corporate teams to overcome inner blocks, enhance productivity and performance, and achieve life-changing transformation. In Episode 168 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Arishma shares the following:

• An explanation of the two key foundations of EFT: modern science, including concepts from psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy, and somatic stimulation, which is rooted in ancient Chinese wisdom about the meridian energy system
• A detailed overview of how tapping works, including a guide to your body’s various meridian energy points
• Specific tips to help you maximize the effectiveness of EFT tapping, no matter the results you are seeking

Arishma also guides us through two exercises: a tap and breathe session, and tapping intended to alleviate the stress associated with an imagined future event.

Navigating organizational change can be a daunting task. There’s no shortage of research showing that a majority of organizational change programs fail. Any leader who has led a change program knows that even the most carefully planned programs can fail because of mediocre implementation. So, what do successful implementers of change initiatives do differently from other companies? They have an intimate understanding of the “human” side of change — the company’s culture, values, people, and behaviors that must be changed to deliver the desired results. Lino Casalino – our guest on Episode 167 of The MINDset Game® Podcast – unravels the intricacies of change management and offers invaluable insights into understanding the human side of transformation. Lino is a Consulting Partner with PwC Canada focused on digital operations and supply chain transformation.

Have you ever planned out what you wanted to accomplish in a given day, only to succumb to distractions that throw your schedule off track? While it’s common to blame distraction on smartphones, social media, urgent emails, or any number of other things that may interrupt our focus, studies indicate that “external triggers” such as these are responsible for only about 10% of distraction. The remainder is caused by internal triggers, including boredom, stress, loneliness, and other uncomfortable emotional states – and mastering these internal triggers is the key to leading a more productive, balanced, and fulfilling life.

As the author of the best-selling books, “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products” and “Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life”, as well as a sought-after keynote speaker on consumer psychology, habits, personal productivity, and dealing with distraction in and out of the workplace, Nir Eyal’s specialties lie at the intersection of psychology, technology, and business. He is also a former lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, and his writing has been featured in the New York Times, the Harvard Business Review, Time Magazine, and Psychology Today. In Episode 164 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Nir discusses the following ideas from “Indistractable”:

• The true meaning of distraction – it’s not something that happens to you, but rather an action you take that pulls you further away from your goals and values
• Four strategies for becoming indistractable: mastering internal triggers; making time for traction; hacking back external triggers; and preventing distraction with pacts
• The concept of timeboxing and the advantages it offers compared to other productivity techniques, including the traditional to-do list
• How to remain indistractable while also honoring your personal values

For most of us, common questions that we grapple with throughout our lives include, “Why am I here? What is my purpose?” While many people try to discover their purpose in what they do for a living or what brings them joy, a more helpful approach may include engaging the spiritual realm as well.

• Why it’s essential to engage four different realms – your physical being, your intellect, your emotions, and your spiritual side – when searching for your extraordinary why

When navigating the adversity that life hands us – from minor setbacks to life-altering tragedies – we all have a choice to either accept defeat, or commit to overcoming our challenges. In order to choose the latter option and continue to live a fulfilling life no matter what you’ve faced, it’s crucial to build your capacity for resilience, which is like a muscle that needs to be strengthened.

Jason Schechterle, our guest in Episode 162 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, overcame unimaginable adversity to become a highly rated keynote motivational speaker and shining example of the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In 2001, while following his calling to serve as a Phoenix police officer, Jason’s car was struck from behind by a taxicab traveling at over 100 miles per hour as the driver experienced a seizure. Although nearby firefighters jumped into action to pull Jason from his burning vehicle and rushed him to one of the best burn centers in the U.S., he suffered severe burns over 40% of his body and underwent more than 50 surgeries during his months in the hospital. Despite his bleak prognosis, Jason was able to return to work 18 months after the accident, and today inspires others with his lessons on resilience. In this week’s episode, Jason shares more about his story and discusses the following:

• Key ingredients of resilience, including acceptance of the circumstances, and finding a purpose in what you’ve experienced
• Why your mindset is your core strength when it comes to being resilient, and how seeing yourself as a victim or blaming others are choices that will only keep you stuck in your adversity
• Other advice for those who may be navigating a dark time in their lives, including celebrating small victories and meeting yourself where you are

However, truly distinguishing yourself in a competitive landscape may require you to take a more daring approach that highlights your unique story.

According to Gair Maxwell, our guest in Episode 161 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, irresistible brands are those that have cultivated an identity that is highly distinctive and instantly recognizable.

As an internationally acclaimed best-selling author, keynote speaker and brand strategist, Gair’s original market-tested ideas have inspired leading companies to grow 15 to 30 times while creating an irresistible category of one. He is also a “recovering” broadcast journalist, TEC Canada Speaker of the Year, and author of the book, “Big Little Legends: How Everyday Leaders Build Irresistible Brands.” In this week’s episode, Gair shares the following:

When seeking to optimize your health, longevity, and well-being, there are numerous solutions available beyond those commonly prescribed in Western medicine. Some of these solutions may be considered to be part of a practice known as biohacking, which involves trying to take control of your own biology in order to achieve specific results or enhance overall wellness.

As a three-time author, professional speaker, and podcaster with two shows, including a biohacking and personal development podcast called “Get Yourself Optimized,” Stephan Spencer – our guest in Episode 159 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – routinely tries different biohacks in his own life. From nootropics and other supplements to brain and full-body scans to simpler solutions, such as wearing glasses that block blue light before bedtime in order to improve sleep quality, Stephan describes a wide range of biohacking modalities while sharing his personal experiences with some of them. He also discusses the following:

• The importance of getting clear on your end goal when experimenting with any type of biohacking, in order to channel the power of your intention and find the specific modalities that may work best for you
• Why it’s important to measure your results so you can identify which biohacks are working and adjust accordingly
• The difference between inner intention (which arises when you have a specific goal in mind) and outer intention (which is separate from yourself, but can be tapped into in order to optimize your results)

One common misconception about how our brains work is that the right side is associated with emotions, while the left side controls rational thinking. In reality, the left and right hemispheres of our brains each have their own thinking and feeling systems, creating four specific parts of the brain that have different functions and personalities. By embracing whole brain living – or getting to know and accept the different parts of our brains and how they work together – we can enjoy the gifts of all of them and empower ourselves to make better choices on a moment-by-moment basis.

As the author of “Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life,” Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist who is now affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Neurology. She is also the author of the New York Times bestseller, “My Stroke of Insight,” which documents her personal experience with a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain that caused her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Dr. Taylor is a dynamic teacher and public speaker who loves educating all age groups, academic levels, and corporations about the beauty of our human brain, and how we can work with ourselves to live a more peaceful life. In Episode 158 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. Taylor discusses the following:

• An overview of the anatomy of the brain, including the reptilian and mammalian parts, as well as the right hemisphere (which is focused on the present moment) and the left hemisphere (which is able to consider the past and future)
• The different traits of the four “characters” in our brains: character one, or left thinking, which favors order and control; character two, or left emotion, which can bring the pain of past experiences into the present; character three, or right emotion, where the boundaries we create for ourselves begin to dissolve, allowing us to access greater joy and creativity; and character four, or right thinking, which experiences simple awareness and awe of our own existence
• A practice known as a “brain huddle” that can help you bring all four parts of your brain into balance

Between balancing careers, relationships, health, hobbies, spirituality and more, many people – particularly high-achievers – feel that they do not have enough time to do everything they’d like to do. In addition to creating stress, this feeling of being pulled in multiple directions can prevent us from reaching our full potential and unleashing greatness in ourselves and others. Therefore, it’s crucial to get clear on your most important priorities and keep them at the center of your daily routine.

Bob Mulhern, our guest in Episode 157 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, understands the challenges that come with juggling many different obligations. In addition to being the father of nine children, Bob is a senior managing director for Colliers Arizona, where he leads a $50 million commercial real estate brokerage operation for over 120 professionals, and the cofounder of Great Hearts Arizona, a charter school management organization that operates 24 schools and educates over 15,000 students between kindergarten and 12th grade. He is a past recipient of the Phoenix Business Journal’s “Arizona’s Most Admired Leaders” recognition, NAIOP Arizona’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and is currently recognized as an Arizona State University 100 Business Leader. In this week’s episode, Bob discusses the following:

• The pitfalls of prioritizing the most urgent things in your life rather than the most important
• How keeping your non-negotiable priorities at the center of your to-do list each day – even if that requires you to decline certain opportunities – can help you shift to viewing time as an abundant, rather than scarce, resource
• The value of focusing on progress rather than perfection, and striving to do your best rather than be the best
• Why it’s important to try to not only attract people and opportunities that are in alignment with your higher purpose, but also repel those that are not

Have you ever had times when you felt like you were able to achieve outstanding results without much effort? Conversely, have you ever gone through phases where your energy simply felt “off” and you weren’t sure why?

One compelling explanation for these fluctuations that we all experience stems from the earth’s solar cycles and energetic fields. While it may seem that these forces are out of our control, research indicates that we are constantly feeding into them at the same time that they are affecting us. By becoming more aware of your own energetic system and those operating around you, as well as by taking steps to self-regulate and become more coherent, you may be able to access greater productivity and harmony within yourself, your teams, and the world at large.

As a psychophysiologist and the Director of Research at the HeartMath Institute, Dr. Rollin McCraty studies the physiology of emotion, heart-brain communication, and the global interconnectivity between people and the earth's energetic systems. Findings from his research have been applied to the development of many educational programs and technologies to optimize individual and organizational health, performance, and quality of life. Dr. McCraty has also acted as principal investigator in numerous studies examining the effects of emotions on heart-brain interactions and autonomic cardiovascular, hormonal, and immune system function, as well as in studies to determine the benefits of self-regulation focused interventions and heart rhythm coherence feedback in diverse organizational, educational and clinical populations. In Episode 156 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. McCraty discusses the following:

• The latest research findings from the Global Coherence Initiative, a science-based cooperative project intended to help unite people in heart-focused love and intention
• Incredible findings from other studies that have explored how the earth’s energetic fields affect humans both individually and collectively
• How greater coherence can create more successful teams, as well as tools that can help leaders elevate their own energy and that of their teams

Under Western medicine – particularly in the U.S. – many people rely on medications and guidance from healthcare providers to treat their physical and psychological ailments. While these types of treatments are crucial in some situations, we all have tools within us that can promote healing and greater well-being, without the costs or side effects that medications may bring.

As the founder and CEO of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., Harvard-educated psychiatrist Dr. Jim Gordon is internationally recognized for using self-awareness, self-care, and group support to heal population-wide psychological trauma. Dr. Gordon is also the author of the book, “Transforming Trauma: The Path to Hope and Healing,” a clinical professor at Georgetown Medical School, and served as Chairman of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. In Episode 155 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. Gordon discusses the following:

• The concept of mind-body medicine, which can be described in two ways: the recognition of the scientific reality that various aspects of our mental and emotional functioning affect every organ and cell in our body (and vice versa); and the idea that we each have the capacity to impact our physical and psychological wellness through simple techniques of self-awareness and self-care
• Common misconceptions about trauma, which is a natural part of life that we all experience to some degree
• Key steps and techniques in the process of healing trauma in order to unlock greater physical, psychological, and emotional well-being

Dr. Gordon also guides us through a simple concentrative meditation, explaining the physiological benefits of each step.

As we go through life, we all encounter hardships, which can range from minor setbacks to devastating tragedies. While it may not be possible to avoid these hardships, we can make the choice to be resilient. Defined as “the ability to spring back into shape after being pulled, bent, or stretched” or “the capability to recover quickly from difficulties,” resilience can help you lead a happy and fulfilled life, regardless of the challenges you’ve faced.

Despite experiencing a series of heartbreaking events in her personal life, Nancy Gale – our guest in Episode 154 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – has built an incredible life and career through the power of resilience. She is the founder and designer of the luxury handbag brand, JAMAH, as well as a mentor and passionate activist who founded a nonprofit entrepreneurial program called AMBITION. The mission of this amazing organization is to provide disadvantaged youth with the support, access, and resources necessary to reach their goals. JAMAH clients include Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Channing Tatum and Bill & Hillary Clinton. AMBITION special guests include Sir Richard Branson and President Bill Clinton.

In this week’s episode, Nancy shares more of her story and discusses the following:

• The concept of resilience as a choice that you have to make over and over again, with a great deal of positive thought and happiness – even if you are forcing yourself to put on a happy face
• How approaching and sharing your hardships with power, not pity, can help you make progress while also having a positive impact on others who may have experienced something similar
• An acronym that can help you gain clarity and get back on track, no matter what you are facing: STOP, which stands for settle down, take a breath, own it, and poof! (Get back to work)
• The value of creating balance between hard work and playfulness, which includes finding joy and meaning in your day-to-day work

Driven by both evolutionary instincts and societal hierarchies, we all have a natural inclination to position ourselves as “special” or somehow superior to others. While receiving praise or other confirmation of our positive attributes can quickly boost our happiness and self-esteem, it can also become addictive – and when we then receive criticism or feel that we didn’t succeed at something, it can be tempting to simply seek another self-esteem boost in order to feel better. However, this cycle is not sustainable and can lead to the perpetual feeling that we’re not enough.

To break free from the endless cycle of self-evaluation and social comparison, Dr. Ron Siegel – our guest in Episode 153 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – suggests embracing the beauty of being ordinary. Dr. Siegel is an assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, where he has taught for over 35 years, and a long-time student of mindfulness meditation who serves on the board of directors and faculty of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. He is also the author of several books, including “The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary: Finding Happiness Right Where You Are.” In this week’s episode, Dr. Siegel discusses:

• Steps to take when trying to shift away from constant self-evaluation as a path to happiness and find joy in being ordinary – and why it’s important to do so
• The value of creating genuine connections with others rather than focusing on the impression you are making, as well as strategies that can help you be more present with your friends and loved ones
• Techniques for cultivating self-compassion (which differs from self-esteem), including those that engage your head, heart, and habits

Many of us have been taught that the emotions we experience – particularly those that are considered negative, such as anger, fear, and sadness – are less valuable and socially acceptable than our rational thoughts. As a result, we often repress and avoid our emotions rather than paying attention to what they may be trying to tell us.

Karla McLaren, our guest in Episode 152 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, believes that our emotions are special gifts that can offer us important information about our lives and relationships. As a social science researcher and empathy innovator, Karla is the CEO of Emotion Dynamics Incorporated, developer of Dynamic Emotional Integration, and the creator of the Empathy Academy. She is also the award-winning author of several books, including Embracing Anxiety, The Dynamic Emotional Integration Workbook, The Art of Empathy, The Power of Emotions at Work, and her latest book, the updated, revised version of The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You. In today’s episode, Karla discusses the following:

• The concept of the language of emotions, or the process of learning how to identify and work with your emotions in order to develop a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world around you
• The specific skills and insights that different emotions – including anger, sadness, fear, and shame – can offer when you become more conscious of them, as well as questions to ask yourself in order to access those gifts
• Why it’s important for teams within organizations to develop a shared emotional vocabulary, rather than trying to eradicate emotions at work
• Steps that leaders can take in order to start embracing emotions and an emotional vocabulary in the workplace

Many organizations today have workforces that include up to four generations: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. With each generation tending to have different values and motivations (as well as stereotypes about members of the other generations), organizations may struggle to keep employees of all ages engaged. In particular, many employers are seeking strategies for how to attract, retain, and lead Millennials and members of Gen Z.

As an organizational consultant, trainer, and Millennial influencer, as well as the best-selling author of “101 Secrets for Your Twenties,” “101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties,” and “25 Lies Twenty Somethings Need to Stop Believing,” Paul Angone is an expert in helping companies attract, retain, develop and harness the best strengths of the Millennial and Gen Z generations. He is also the host of the All Groan Up podcast, and has been featured in many publications such as Bloomberg, Business Insider, and Huffington Post.

• The concept of emerging adulthood, and how younger employees reaching traditional milestones (such as getting married, buying a house, and having kids) later in life can affect their career choices
• How the need to feel significant is a major motivating factor for Gen Z and Millennial employees, and simple techniques that managers and leaders can use to help younger workers feel that they are part of something important
• Tips for 20-somethings seeking to lay the foundation for a successful career
• How consistency and authenticity can help organizations not only hire, retain, and engage younger employees, but also attract Millennials and Gen Z as customers

When faced with a challenge or decision, are you more likely to take time to think it over thoroughly, consider how you feel about the situation, or take action as soon as possible based on your gut instincts? According to Enneagram philosophy, these options represent our three centers of intelligence: thinking, feeling, and action. While we each have a dominant center, the three are complementary – and understanding how each center operates in your life can help you achieve a greater sense of balance and clarity.

As a highly sought-after facilitator, speaker, management development coach, and Enneagram specialist, Michelle Bennetts has trained over 1,500 professionals globally in the Enneagram. With 20 years of experience in training and facilitation, Michelle coaches teams, leaders, and executives on how to lead themselves, others, and ultimately, the business to success. As our guest in Episode 149 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Michelle discusses the following:

• Techniques for identifying your dominant center of intelligence and understanding when it may or may not be serving you
• Why it’s also important to identify the center you use the least, and to strengthen it in order to bring the three centers into balance
• How tapping into your intuition can help when your three centers are sending you conflicting messages
• Pitfalls that both individuals and organizations may encounter when they rely too heavily on one center – and how they can achieve better results by balancing out the three centers

Have you ever found yourself pursuing a career path or business that seemed “comfortable,” but you began to feel like it wasn’t the best fit for you? If so, you’ve probably realized that the process of finding and fulfilling your true calling involves several key steps – many of which are related to your own belief system.

After enrolling in pharmacy school at his parents’ urging, Harvey Goldberg soon felt that it wasn’t the path he was supposed to be on in life. Although he persevered and graduated, a transformative week spent with his uncle inspired him to think more critically about what kind of lifestyle he wanted to lead. His uncle’s guidance – in conjunction with books Harvey read, such as “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill – set him on the path to the successful career he has enjoyed since.

With more than 30 years of experience in company ownership and management and over 5,000 hours of direct coaching of CEOs and business owners, Harvey’s life work and passion is helping business owners grow and maximize both their business and personal potential. In Episode 148 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Harvey discusses the following:

• How the people around you can either serve as engines or anchors, and why sometimes — although difficult — it may be necessary to avoid the anchors who may interfere with your own inner guidance system
• The importance of staying open to new ideas, beliefs, and the possibilities that may be available to you
• How examining your beliefs (some of which may be based in fear) can help you overcome self-interference as you pursue your higher calling
• Why it’s crucial to approach all feedback – including failure – in a non-judgmental way

By definition, innovation requires a departure from the way things have traditionally been done. However, due to factors such as fear of the unknown and social pressures, many leaders and organizations tend to rely on known solutions without even considering other options. This can lead to stagnation, which may be devastating for companies in a rapidly changing world.

Kaihan Krippendorff, our guest in Episode 147 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, urges leaders to explore the “fourth option.” He defines this concept by explaining that our brains have a tendency to sort things into groups of three – for instance, we may consider three different solutions and then stop looking, because three seems like a complete number. The fourth option represents the innovative ideas (which may seem bold or even crazy at first) that lie beyond the point at which most people have stopped thinking.

As an internationally renowned thought leader, consultant, and sought-after keynote speaker on the topics of strategy, growth, and transformation, Kaihan has been recognized by Thinkers50 and ranked by global gurus as among the top 20 management professionals of 2023. With a unique ability to transform difficult concepts into easy-to-understand ideas and practical tools, Kaihan is also the best-selling author of five books and a two-time TEDx speaker whose work has generated over $2.5 billion in annual revenue for many of the world's most recognizable companies. In this week’s episode, Kaihan shares the following:

• A helpful acronym that represents the 5 different conversations you need to have in order to find the fourth option: IDEAS, which stands for imagine, dissect, expand, analyze, and sell
• Simple shifts of mindset and language that leaders and their teams may find helpful when trying to explore new ideas and open the door for innovation
• An alternative framework using the elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth that can help explain the cycle of innovation and change

Throughout life, we all face challenges and setbacks – some of which may seem devastating. However, one of the most important factors determining whether these challenges will “make or break” you is your attitude. While it can be difficult to stay positive at all times, there are several steps you can take on a daily basis to rebuild your attitude and approach life’s challenges with clarity and strength. 

Boaz Rauchwerger, our guest in Episode 146 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, first learned about the importance of attitude from his mother. Despite tragically losing her parents and four of her siblings in the Holocaust, Boaz’s mom managed to maintain a positive attitude throughout her life. Drawing inspiration from her lessons and from his own experiences, Boaz has had a successful career as a consultant, author, and keynote speaker, including 20 years as a speaker with Vistage Worldwide. In this week’s episode, Boaz shares several insights about how to achieve happiness and success through building a positive attitude, including:

• The value of reading, and two classic books Boaz recommends that everyone read at least three times: “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill
• Several specific affirmations to repeat at the beginning and end of each day, such as “everything I touch prospers and succeeds” and “I make amazing things happen daily.”
• The concept of “goal cards” as a way to change habits and achieve your goals Techniques for handling negative emotions that may compromise your attitude and take you further from your goals

To connect with Boaz, he invites listeners to call or text him at (619) 723-3007. He also offers a complimentary session for his consulting services, through which he helps organizations change employees’ attitudes and thereby raise the culture of the whole company.

Have you ever set a goal that would require you to adopt new behaviors or patterns, and despite knowing the steps you would need to take in order to achieve your goal, you found it difficult to implement the necessary changes? Whether in our personal or professional lives, most of us have struggled with change at some point. This is because change can feel threatening, even when it’s something we truly want. Therefore, to successfully adapt to change and achieve our desired results, it’s important to address both the physiological and emotional components that may cause us to resist change. 

As the founder and president of the Academies for Coaching, Inc. – an organization with a mission of “Changing Minds, for Good” – Susan Britton is passionate about how brain-body biology can bring insight to the invisible forces that thwart change. In training thousands of leadership and career coaches on six continents over the past 20 years, Susan and her team show how a brain-friendly approach can drive engagement, creativity, and productivity in leaders and their teams. As our guest in Episode 145 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Susan discusses the following:

• Why successfully implementing change involves both our neural chemistry (including dopamine, cortisol, etc.) and our circuitry, which refers to the neural networks that began forming in early childhood and may continue to influence our beliefs and behavior
• How finding ways to make change fun or even playful can help us – and by extension, those around us – become more comfortable with the process
• How embracing the “3 C’s” – compassion, curiosity, and creation – can be helpful in overcoming resistance to change

From the time we are infants, we begin learning techniques to control others. For instance, a baby may realize that crying is an effective way to get attention and have his or her needs met. As adults, many people still seek ways to gain control, which is often driven by our inherent need to feel safe. However, when it comes to motivating others and bringing out the best in them, influence tends to be a far more effective mechanism than control – particularly in the context of teams and organizations navigating change.

As a professional Certified Therapeutic Coach and the creator of the Clear Beliefs Method for deleting limiting beliefs, healing childhood wounds, and resolving traumas, Lion Goodman has over 40 years of experience as an executive teacher, healer, and subconscious pattern detective. He is also the author of five books, including “Clear Your Clients’ Limiting Beliefs” and “Creating on Purpose,” has taught workshops on four continents, and has been a featured speaker at summits and on radio programs, podcasts, and television shows. In Episode 144 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Lion discusses the following:

• Why hierarchies – in which leaders tell their teams what to do and think, and expect them to comply – are no longer the most effective structures in today’s world, and why organizations that prioritize collaboration are more likely to thrive
• Why it’s important for everyone (particularly leaders) to become more aware of their own beliefs, and strategies for how to do so
• How getting curious about others’ beliefs can foster a more collaborative, productive environment
• The value of encouraging people to shift their beliefs from the inside out, rather than simply telling them what they should change

Beginning in early childhood, we all form beliefs – which are simply ideas that seem true and real to us – based on a variety of sources, such as our parents, schooling, friends, and firsthand experiences. Unfortunately, however, some of these beliefs may be harmful, allowing self-doubt to creep in and holding us back from reaching our full potential. Therefore, it’s crucial to shift these limiting beliefs — but how can we go about doing so?

Tony Burgess, our guest in Episode 143 of The MINDset Game® podcast, has outlined several practical steps for changing beliefs that may be keeping you from reaching your goals. As the co-founder of the Academy of High Achievers (along with his partner, Julie French), Tony has trained and coached business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams on powerful mental and emotional fitness techniques to help them tap into their full potential. He is also recognized for his expertise in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), DiSC and Havening techniques, and is the co-author of “Pink Bucket Thinking” and “Beliefs and How to Change Them…for Good!” 

In this week’s episode, Tony discusses the concept of beliefs (including those that are self-limiting) and walks us through several steps in the belief modification process, including:

• Getting clear on what exactly you want to achieve when changing your beliefs
• Conducting a “beliefs audit” to distinguish those that are helpful from those that are no longer serving you
• Asking “what if?” questions, and most importantly, using them as a way to expand rather than limit possibilities
• Supporting this empowering thought process with cognitive evidence and experiential tactics

In our personal and professional lives, we all face figurative mountains: obstacles that may seem insurmountable, but that ultimately present some of the most powerful opportunities for growth. To overcome these obstacles and reap the benefits they can offer, it’s crucial to develop a mindset of courage, persistence, and resilience.

As the first Iranian in history to climb the Seven Summits – the seven highest peaks in each continent – Dr. Sara Safari has extensive experience with conquering both literal and figurative mountains. Sara is also an author, speaker, college professor, electrical engineer, and the founder and president of a nonprofit organization called “Climb Your Everest,” which aims to empower marginalized young women through educational programs.

In Episode 142 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Sara shares some of the lessons she learned through her incredible mountain climbing experiences, including:

• The importance of having a “big why” – particularly one that will serve others – when taking on a major project
• How going backwards or even failing sometimes can be an essential step in achieving greater goals
• The power of servant leadership, in which leaders support their team members’ growth and development and encourage them to discover their own strengths

For leaders and teams facing change within their organizations, it’s normal to feel an array of emotions ranging from excitement to fear. However, fear and other negative emotions can create resistance to change, which can lead to friction among teams and ultimately make it more difficult for the organization to achieve its goals. Overcoming this resistance requires addressing the underlying factors that may cause individuals to fear change.

As a Chief People Officer, as well as a keynote speaker, executive coach, top culture expert, and host of the podcast, “From Now to Next,” Erica Rooney invigorates and educates organizations as they navigate change. Her mission is to help drive a positive experience for employees and guide executives through the process of change, leading to massive success. In Episode 141 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Erica shares the following insights:

• Why the need to be right is one of the biggest obstacles to change, the underlying thought patterns that may be driving the attachment to being right, and techniques that individuals can use to overcome that attachment and approach change with curiosity instead
• How leaders can create a psychologically safe environment among their teams, and why doing so is crucial for overcoming resistance to change
• The importance of understanding your core values and how they align (or conflict) with your organization’s values, as well as exercises to help ensure that you are living and leading in accordance with your own values

When thinking of highly successful people, we often pay attention to the personality traits that may have contributed to their success. However, our mindsets – which, unlike personalities, can be changed – tend to be more effective at helping us achieve greater performance and fulfillment in both our personal and professional lives.

From contaminants in our environment to negative thought patterns, we are all exposed to numerous toxicities over time. As these toxicities accumulate in our bodies, they can lead to serious health problems, including cancer, autoimmune disease, and neurodegenerative conditions. Healing these diseases or preventing them in the first place may require a mind-body-spirit approach that seeks to identify and eliminate the sources of toxicity in our lives.

Often referred to as the “Sherlock Holmes of medicine,” Dr. Jill Carnahan is renowned for her ability to help her patients get to the root of their health problems and optimize healing through the gentlest and least invasive ways possible. A functional medicine expert who is double board-certified in family medicine and integrative holistic medicine, Dr. Carnahan has personal experience with the types of conditions that she treats: as a 25-year-old medical student, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, and later Crohn’s disease – both of which she has healed from fully. Drawing on her unique perspective to treating a variety of complex and chronic illnesses, Dr. Carnahan travels the world sharing her knowledge of hope, health, and healing through various platforms, including her new book, “Unexpected.” In Episode 139 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. Carnahan discusses the following:

• Why addressing feelings of unworthiness and other harmful thought patterns is crucial to your physical health
• The concepts of toxic load and infectious burden, and how they can build up over time to trigger a range of serious health problems
• How to identify and eliminate hidden environmental toxins, including mold, that may be compromising your health

If you’ve ever felt like change, volatility, and uncertainty are happening in the world around us more often than ever before, you’re not alone.

As we go through life, we all acquire values and ideas of what success looks like from society, our families, and other external sources. However, this can cause a sense of dissonance if you find that you’ve achieved a preconceived notion of success, but do not feel happy or fulfilled.

According to Irina Baranov, our guest in Episode 127 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, many people – particularly high achievers – live their lives by default, rather than by design. As a Certified Executive Coach, keynote speaker, and Vistage Master Chair who works with top leaders and organizations to take them from good to great, Irina strives to help people get present and intentional so they can start designing their lives and businesses with a clear understanding of who they are and what they value. In this week’s episode, Irina discusses the following:

• The importance of asking yourself the hard questions about how happy and fulfilled you are in different areas of your life, such as your health, relationships, and career/business

In various areas of our lives — and particularly when serving in a leadership capacity — our inner feelings often drive external results and shape how we interact with others. Through the art of conscious leadership, we can strive to create greater inner harmony so that we can deliberately choose how we behave and show up with other people.

As the founder and CEO of Tilt365.com, a disruptor in the personality assessment space, Pam Boney (along with her team of over 600 change agent practitioners) is devoted to growing the number of conscious leaders around the world. In Episode 126 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Pam shares the following:

• Why inner harmony, rather than any external factor, is the key to greater happiness and success – and how you can begin cultivating more inner harmony
• The concept of ego fears and how they can manifest particularly in the context of change, as well as techniques that can help you return to feeling happy and present when these fears surface
• Why it’s important to understand your own propensities in how you think – for instance, whether you tend to be overly positive or negative – and how it can help you achieve balance and an overall positive self-regard

As human beings, we have an innate ability to manage complex situations, or those that we cannot control or predict due to many interrelated parts that affect one other. In practice, however, many of us become overwhelmed when faced with complexity and start trying to control things that are not actually controllable.

According to Carolyn Coughlin, our guest in Episode 125 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, the key to navigating these situations even more effectively is to unleash your complexity genius. As the co-founder, director, and board co-chair of Cultivating Leadership, a leadership consultancy with a mission to help leaders and organizations thrive in complexity, Carolyn develops programs to coach teams and individuals in growing their inner capacity to lead in a complex world. In this week’s episode, Carolyn discusses the following:

• The definition of “complexity,” and how complex situations differ from ones that are merely complicated
• Steps to take when faced with the stress that complexity can present – or how to tap into your own complexity geniuses
• The power of reaching outward through love and connection with others, and how to activate that love even for someone who may be triggering feelings of distress and complexity

Carolyn then guides us through a step-by-step exercise that implements the techniques she has shared.

Over the past few years, many of us have experienced significant change in both our personal and professional lives. While some of these changes, such as transitioning to remote or hybrid work arrangements, were triggered by the pandemic, we can’t necessarily expect to revert to the “old way” of doing things.

In your personal or professional life, have you ever encountered someone who was reluctant to expand their knowledge and skillset, and seemed highly risk averse and afraid to fail or receive any negative feedback? Or, have you noticed these tendencies in yourself? If so, they may be signs of a fixed mindset, or the view that intelligence and skills are inherent traits that you either have or don’t have. A growth mindset, on the other hand, views intelligence and skills as largely the result of learning and effort – which means that we all have the power to continue growing and challenging ourselves to achieve new heights.

As a research psychologist with a PhD in social psychology, Dr. Eve Meceda was a bit skeptical of the concept of fixed vs. growth mindset when she was first introduced to it. However, after reading Dr. Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking book, Mindset, Eve realized that she herself had been struggling with a fixed mindset. She soon became an expert on the topic, and has applied it in her work as a consultant partnering with Fortune 500 and Global 1000 organizations. In Episode 123 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Eve discusses the following:

• Three key “levers” to address in order to begin shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset
• Why it’s important for leaders to change the nature of their relationship with experimentation and failure (and to help those on their team do the same) as a way to, as Eve says, “Fail better each time in pursuit of awesome.”
• Strategies to help leaders build a growth mindset culture in their organizations, beginning with shifting their own fixed mindset tendencies

From a young age, most of us begin forming ideas about who we are as people and who we think we should be. As we get older, we learn to develop ways to control ourselves, others and the world around us in order to suit our preconceived sense of identity. While this process can help us feel safe, it can also hold us back from attaining true freedom and transcending our limitations to connect with our higher purpose.

According to Kute Blackson, our guest in Episode 122 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, surrender is the key to reaching these higher levels in order to achieve more in life than you might have imagined. Kute is a transformational teacher, inspirational speaker, visionary, and national best-selling author of two extraordinary books, including The Magic of Surrender. In this episode, he discusses the following:

• The concept of surrender, which occurs when we stop trying to manipulate life to fit our limited idea of who we think we should be, and how it can help us access our deeper truth and purpose
• How the ego and our conditioning cause us to resist surrender, and how we can go about building a new relationship with these things
• The importance of acknowledging the lies you might be telling yourself, and using the pain of feeling these lies to bring you into a deeper truth and integrity

As children, most of us have a natural sense of curiosity and wonder. However, as we get older and become mired in our emotions and belief systems, it can be difficult to reignite that natural curiosity. Our brains – in an attempt to keep us safe – tend to judge the world through a binary lens and steer us away from allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. Yet it is only through vulnerability that we can forge genuine connections with others, and those connections often begin with curious, courageous conversations.

Justine Froelker, our guest in Episode 120 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, TEDx speaker, and the author of nine books (including five Amazon best sellers) covering topics such as grief, infertility, and faith. When delivering keynotes, workshops, and trainings to national and international audiences, Justine’s areas of focus include leadership, resilience, and courageous and curious conversations – a highlight of this week’s episode. Specifically, Justine discusses the following:

• How to use curious language as a way to build understanding with those whose opinions and feelings may differ from your own
• Steps to follow when you want to be curious and compassionate with someone, but you also need them to change their mind in order to achieve a specific result
• The importance of sitting with your own discomfort, getting in touch with your emotions, and expanding your emotional vocabulary
• Tips for setting boundaries with others in order to protect your own well-being while also respecting relationships that are important to you

The scientific and spiritual realms are often thought to be at odds – but upon closer examination, there are many areas in which they overlap. By tuning into the intersection of science and spirituality and drawing on practices from both, we can bring about healing to lead happier, healthier, more fulfilled lives.

As a trained scientist who serves as the Executive Vice President and Clinical Director of the Heads Up Guidance and Wellness Centers of Nevada, a practicing Buddhist, and teacher of Huna at the School of Permanent Spiritual Empowerment in Kona, Hawaii, Dr. Patrick Scott has extensively studied both scientific and spiritual practices.

• Four steps to follow when trying to tap into your intuitive guidance to lead a more joyful, balanced, and productive life
• The concept of our core wounds, or harmful beliefs that we all have such as “I’m not enough” or “I’m an imposter,” and how both scientific and spiritual practices can help us overcome these wounds
• The restorative power of meditation and the science behind what happens in the brain when we meditate
• The similarities between prayer and meditation, and how both can help us connect with the higher vibrational realm of the spirit

For many people – particularly leaders and other high achievers – facing the unknown can feel very uncomfortable. We tend to prefer certainty, control, and having a clear idea of where we are going. However, simply sitting with the unknown and allowing ourselves to listen with an open mind and trust the process can be a powerful way to unlock new insights and create deeper connections with others.

Hakomi, which refers to a Hopi word meaning “how I stand in relationship to these many realms,” is a therapeutic modality that emphasizes the value of mindfulness, listening, and becoming comfortable with the unknown. As the president and cofounder of Possibilities Consulting LLC, as well as a graduate of a two-year Hakomi training, Michelle Saul excels at guiding leaders through change initiatives, often by incorporating Hakomi techniques. In Episode 118 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Michelle discusses the following:

• The key principles of Hakomi and how it works in practice
• How Hakomi may be able to help you achieve healing, shift your mindset, and create lasting positive changes in your life
• Why listening to others with the intention of truly understanding them is so important – particularly for leaders – as well as specific steps to follow in order to be a more effective listener

In business and in life, unexpected things will inevitably happen, often creating new challenges or distracting us from our missions. While these events may feel like crises, they can also present opportunities for growth and improvement. The key to navigating crises and accessing the benefits of unforeseen challenges is to become “chaos ready,” or prepared to adapt when things change outside of our control. 

As a globally recognized leadership coach and speaker, as well as a serial entrepreneur, humanitarian, volunteer firefighter, and victim's advocate, Corinne Hancock is accustomed to chaotic situations. She draws on her wide-ranging experiences to teach leaders and teams how to create a positive relationship with chaos so they can thrive in any situation. In Episode 117 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Corinne shares the following:

• The importance of distinguishing between crises (unexpected events) and chaos (our potential reactions to those events)
• The most common default reactions to crises – avoiding, blaming, and complaining – and why it’s important to move beyond those initial reactions to finding solutions
• The link between clarity and security, and how leaders can create greater clarity for themselves and their teams – even in the midst of the particularly chaotic times that many people are currently navigating

We all have a playlist that is running in the background of our lives that acts as a ceiling on our effectiveness. The impact of your current playlist may show up in insidious ways. As a leader, you may be feeling you can’t retain or engage your people. You may feel burned out, or your team may be overwhelmed by the pace of change. You may feel that you can’t delegate or trust your team to deliver. 

The good news, according to Susan Drumm, our guest in Episode 116 of The Mindset Game® podcast and author of The Leader’s Playlist, is that you can leverage the power of music and neuroscience to transform your leadership and your life. Susan discusses the following:

• The power of music to help make change stick, by priming the neurological landscape to form new neural pathways in a faster, more efficient way.
• A process for uncovering a leader’s internal playlist, which directly reduces their leadership effectiveness and personal happiness.
• The impact of creating a new playlist to make better decisions by expanding your perception on what is really occurring in the moment vs. filtering data based on old neural pathways.

Susan Drumm has personally coached billionaire CEOs, high-profile political figures, prominent Fortune 100 executive teams as well as incredible entrepreneurs that set out to disrupt the marketplace. She is CEO and Chief Empowerment Officer of her own firm, Meritage Leadership. She is also the host of the podcast and YouTube channel The Enlightened Executive, where she interviews founders and CEOs on the most cutting-edge programs and techniques in personal and leadership effectiveness.

Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. 

As a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, professional certified coach, and Chief Coaching Officer for Positive Intelligence, Bill Carmody is an expert on “mental fitness” for building a more positive mind. In Episode 115 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Bill discusses the following:

• The definition of Positive Intelligence, or the ability to perceive everything that happens in life as happening for you, rather than to you— thereby enabling you to view everything as an opportunity to learn and grow from a place of positivity
• The concept of sage, our true essence or innate state of living in constant ease and flow
• How our 10 “sabateurs” can take us away from living in sage and prevent us from achieving true happiness and fulfillment
• A technique known as a PQ rep that can be used to help return you to a state of calm at any time and enable you to see the possibilities available to you while heightening your empathy for yourself and others

In team settings, leaders are often the ones in charge of stepping in and rectifying issues when the team falls short of expectations. While this “leader-led accountability” allows the leader a great deal of control in ensuring that the desired results are achieved, it doesn’t leave much room for the team and its individual members to learn, grow, and become the best version of themselves.

As an award-winning trainer, facilitator, coach, and the author of Revolutionize Teamwork: How to Create and Lead Accountable Teams, Eric Coryell is an expert at helping leaders engage their employees through the creation of functional and accountable teams. In Episode 114 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Eric discusses the following:

• Tips for how leaders can become more comfortable with surrendering some control to their teams – and why it’s important to do so
• Key attributes of functional, accountable teams, and what distinguishes them from teams that are only functional but not accountable
• The importance of trust and shared fates within a team, as well as both healthy and unhealthy ways to foster these concepts

We’ve all heard terms such as diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of corporate culture. But these are far more than buzzwords – when all employees feel safe and valued in bringing their unique selves to work, they will likely be happier, more productive, and more loyal to their employer, which translates to greater success for the organization. 

How can companies move beyond treating diversity as a box that needs to be checked, and ensure that they are creating an environment where each and every employee feels comfortable? According to Shan Foster, our guest in Episode 113 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, the solution may require a resetting of corporate culture. Shan is the co-founder and CEO of Fostering Healthy Solutions, LLC, where he cultivates healthy solutions to diversity issues through education, training, and execution, as well as the author of What Hurt Didn’t Hinder and a frequent speaker before national and international corporations, conferences, and collegiate national sports programs. In this episode, Shan discusses the following:

• Why our differences bring even more value than the things that make us alike
• Why intentionality in various areas of a company’s process – from the hiring stage through training and beyond – is key to nurturing successful employees and achieving true diversity
• 7 steps to resetting corporate culture, as well as examples that illustrate why these steps are so important
• Why it’s crucial for leaders to reconnect their heads with their hearts when approaching issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion

No matter how advanced modern society becomes, human beings are still animals at our core. Therefore, we are subject to certain rules prescribed by nature that can help us lead happier, healthier, longer lives – if we put in the effort to shift our mindsets and tune into the cues that nature has given us.

As a multiple-award-winning, internationally renowned nutrition and fitness expert, Dan Miller has developed health and wellness programs for people from all walks of life, from executives to professional fighters and everyone in between. He is also a former Guinness World Endurance record holder, has completed three master's degrees, and speaks to thousands of executives worldwide each year. In Episode 112 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dan shows us how nature intended the human animal to live longer, better, and with less disease by sharing the following insights:

• How spending more time outdoors can help reduce stress and improve health
• Why it’s essential to feel needed, valued, loved, and supported by a group of people – or a “tribe” – larger than your immediate family
• The importance of facing your stressors head-on, rather than accepting a perpetual state of stress as a normal way of life
• Specific guidelines regarding sleep hygiene, water intake, diet and exercise in order to achieve greater physical health and longevity

While fear is an important evolutionary mechanism that can help protect you in some situations, it can also hold you back from living fully and reaching your highest potential. Therefore, finding ways to reduce the types of fear that may be having a negative impact on your life can help you unlock possibilities and feel greater happiness. 

As a biologist and stress expert, Dr. Rebecca Heiss – our guest in Episode 111 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – has an in-depth understanding of fear in both its helpful and harmful forms.

In this episode, Rebecca discusses the following:

• Her definition of being fear(less), and how our primal sense of fear that is designed to keep us safe can create obstacles in everyday situations
• The ABCs of lessening fear – a simple editing process that consists of awareness and asking questions about the perceived threat, breathing (specifically, a type of breath called a physiological sigh), and engaging your curiosity
• Techniques for altering the stories you tell yourself in order to overcome fears and anxieties about the future
• Why fear can be a gift and how to recognize the positive insight it can provide
• Why it’s particularly important for leaders to work on overcoming their own fears and radiating positive energy in order to create a sense of calm and happiness in those around them

While there are many different tools available to help us better understand our own personality types and those of others, one of the most effective is the Enneagram system. Consisting of nine different archetypes that are determined based on an individual’s social and coping styles, the Enneagram can serve as a roadmap to help you become more aware of the patterns that operate in your life – particularly when you are facing conflict.

As a Certified Riso-Hudson Enneagram Institute teacher and an accredited professional with the International Enneagram Association, as well as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation, Jenny Yoder has used the Enneagram as a guide to help business leaders, teams, and many others overcome conflict and build even stronger relationships. In Episode 109 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Jenny discusses the following:

• The three social styles and three coping styles that determine your Enneagram type, and how the motivations underlying these styles can affect conflict management
• Why it’s important to step back and try to truly understand another person’s perspective in a conflict situation – despite the inclination to tunnel deeper into your own social and coping styles
• Three questions that teams can use when in conflict to better understand the energies that are motivating individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and actions
• Our three centers of intelligence – the head, the heart, and the body – and how they interact with our different social and coping styles

As complex beings, a duality exists inside each and every human: we have a pure and true side, as well as a darker side that is constantly trying to diminish our vibrance. Rick Carson, our guest in Episode 107 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, refers to this darker side as a “gremlin” – a part of us that must be tamed in order to lead happy, fulfilled lives.

As a practicing psychotherapist for nearly five decades, a personal and executive coach, and the author of “Taming Your Gremlin: A Surprisingly Simple Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way,” Rick has developed several techniques for conquering the negative voices and tendencies that lurk within each of us. In this episode, he shares some of these techniques, including:

• Simply noticing when your gremlin surfaces, and then accentuating the physical sensations that accompany it. These actions can trigger what Rick calls the Zen Theory of Change – when you realize that you are the one causing the unpleasant feelings you’re experiencing, a natural correction can start to occur.
• Learning to think of your breathing as not only a regulator, but also an indicator that can tell you when you’re “glitching,” whether due to anxiety, physical or emotional pain (or the anticipation of it), or another form of anguish.
• Becoming aware of the surface of your skin, which functions as a highly sensitive barrier between everything that happens within you and the rest of the world.

Rick emphasizes that while these techniques are simple, they require constant practice; he says that taming your gremlin essentially requires turning your life into a living meditation and gaining gentle control over your awareness.

With change constantly happening in the world around us, it’s crucial for organizations to have structures and systems in place that will allow them to navigate disruptions with agility. While changing circumstances can create formidable obstacles for some organizations, Charlene Li – our guest in Episode 106 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – has always been curious about those that can seemingly move from disruption to disruption without skipping a beat.

As Chief Research Officer at PA Consulting, an end-to-end innovation consultancy, Charlene has studied organizations across numerous industries to identify the characteristics that make leaders, teams, and the organization as a whole better equipped to handle change. In this episode, Charlene outlines the three key things that organizations need in order to seamlessly move from disruption to disruption: an ability to focus on the needs of future customers, leaders who can create a movement and momentum to carry the organization into the future, and a culture that’s capable of dealing with flux. Within this framework, she shares specific insights, including:

• 3 questions that everyone in an organization – from senior leadership to frontline workers – should be able to answer regarding how the organization will serve future customers
• How leaders can attract followers to the movement they are seeking to create, even when dealing with individuals whose values may not align with that movement
• Signs that indicate that a movement towards change is successfully underway
• The consequences for organizations that resist creating a “flux culture” designed to help them navigate disruption

When thinking about your personal preferences and habits at work, do you tend to favor structure, or flexibility? Centralization or decentralization? When leading others, do you strive to challenge your team, or support them?

While these examples may seem to be contradictions, they are some of the most common instances of polarities in organizations. Kelly Lewis, an executive coach, leadership consultant, and author of the book Navigating Polarities: Using Both/And Thinking to Lead Transformation, has been using polarities as a lens in her coaching and client work for several decades. In Episode 105 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Kelly discusses the following:

• The definition of polarities, or situations where there are two interdependent states that need each other in order to be successful
• How supplementing “either/or” thinking with a “both/and” mindset can improve communication, relationships, and ultimately, results
• Various sensemaking tools to help individuals and teams navigate polarities while minimizing conflict
• The role of both the heart and the mind—including qualities such as compassion and curiosity—in softening the extreme edges of polarities and beginning to see each pole as part of an interdependent pair

In addition to her work as an executive coach, Kelly is the co-founder of Andiron, a leadership development consultancy committed to providing the space and tools for transformation.

Many organizations routinely launch campaigns intended to spark a change of culture among their workforces—yet often, any practical changes are short-lived, failing to bring about true transformation in employee behavior or the ways in which complex problems are approached. According to Ralph Kilmann, our guest in Episode 104 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, the reason why change initiatives do not succeed in the long term can be traced to a cultural norm that prevents employees from bringing their full selves—including their collected traumas—into the workplace.

As an internationally recognized authority on systems change with an expertise in conflict management, change management, expanding consciousness and quantum transformation, Dr. Kilmann has written over 20 books and has developed several assessment tools that have been used by high-profile organizations in both the public and private sectors. In this episode, he discusses the following:

• The concept of expanded consciousness—or moving from an egocentric worldview through different levels to one that is spirit-centric—and how expanding consciousness can benefit organizations
• Why commitment from senior leaders is integral for bringing about organizational change
• Different assessment tools that organizations can use to navigate change and conflict management, including the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI), the Organizational Belief Survey, and the Organizational Courage Assessment
• A sequence of eight tracks that can lead to lasting change and long-term organizational success
• Four foundational inner conflicts that everyone—and particularly senior leaders—need to resolve in order to effectively approach external conflicts

From the time we are very young children, we are constantly observing the world around us, picking up on others’ beliefs and mannerisms, and having experiences that can shape us for years to come. When these experiences feel traumatic, they tend to become deeply ingrained in our subconscious minds – which, unfortunately, can manifest in a variety of mental, emotional, and even physical health problems later in life.

While several therapeutic modalities seek to address trauma, EFT (emotional freedom techniques) and Matrix Reimprinting work together to both resolve traumatic experiences and change the negative perceptions that we have of them.

Karl Dawson, our guest in Episode 100 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, discovered EFT after going through a difficult time in his life during which he struggled with various undiagnosed health issues, a divorce, and other challenges. After finding that EFT offered a powerful way to heal himself physically and emotionally, he became an EFT practitioner to help others experience the same benefits. Today, Karl has taught over 8,000 EFT and matrix reimprinting practitioners, holding trainings in 27 countries worldwide. He is the author of two best-selling books, the Director of the EFT and Matrix Reimprinting Academy (EFTMRA), and has presented at conferences alongside some of the most well-known people in the self-help industry.

In this episode, Karl discusses the following:

• The difference between EFT and matrix reimprinting, and how they both play a role in overcoming past traumas
• The concept of the matrix and how it relates to our memories
• How the core beliefs we develop early in life can lead to the development of often-unwanted patterns, and how matrix reimprinting can help reverse some of those negative beliefs

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal or bring about a positive change in your life, but struggled to consistently take the actions needed to do so? The solution may lie in developing the right habits – but often, it can be difficult to continue following those habits after you initially create them.

Michael Balchan, our guest in Episode 99 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, believes that building positive habits and sticking to them requires an understanding of how your mind works, as well as a clear sense of the identity you’re seeking to adopt. A Harvard-trained behavioral economist and psychologist, Michael now serves as the Head Coach and Chief of Staff at Heroic, a public benefit corporation that uses proven, behavioral-designed technology to empower individuals to move from theory to practice to mastery and express the highest version of themselves.

In this episode, Michael shares numerous insights, including the following:

• The importance of using celebration and positive reinforcement to help yourself continue following a good habit
• How to create algorithms that use your environment and willpower to reinforce the habits you’re seeking to build
• An overview of the differences between the reptilian, mammalian, and rational parts of your brain – and simple actions to take when the rational part disengages and you feel inclined to do things that may be inconsistent with your highest self
• The importance of getting clear on the identity you want to have, and how that identity drives your behaviors – which, in turn, reinforce your identity

In addition to helping build Heroic, Michael has partnered with his longtime mentor, Brian Johnson, to create a scientifically backed 300-day coach certification program that has trained over 11,000 individuals in over 115 countries. To learn more about Heroic, visit https://www.heroic.us, where you will find an abundance of tools and materials designed to help you become the highest and best version of yourself.

When pursuing an important goal, have you ever faced repeated obstacles and setbacks? If so, you may have felt like you were failing or that you weren’t “good enough” – and potentially, you might have found that these limiting beliefs sent you into a negative cycle of self-doubt.

Alina Timofeeva, our guest in Episode 98 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, wrestled with a great deal of self-doubt when she was searching for a job in the U.K. as an immigrant from Russia. Despite receiving hundreds of rejections and questioning whether she was truly qualified, Alina persevered, knowing that she wanted more from life than what her family intended for her in Russia. Once she finally found a position as an analyst, she progressed very quickly in her career, becoming a principal in less than seven years.

Today, Alina is a multi-award-winning principal at global strategy consulting firm Oliver Wyman, a mentor to women and migrants from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, and a TEDx speaker whose presentation, “Fail But Never Give Up,” has received hundreds of thousands of views.

In this episode, Alina shares lessons she’s learned from her personal and professional life, including:

• The importance of persevering when faced with setbacks, and remembering that the process of pursuing your goals is an often-unpredictable journey
• Why it’s crucial to convince yourself that you are worthy when you’re struggling with self-doubt or feel like you don’t fit in – and how shifting your mindset can help you achieve better results
• Why it’s particularly important for people who have been conditioned to believe that they aren’t enough to work on developing their own self-confidence first

In our modern age, many of us go through life feeling disconnected from our own bodies and from one another. In addition to fueling conflict and other large-scale problems facing humanity today, this sense of disconnectedness can impair our ability to lead others.  Born out of his lifelong interest in psychology, spirituality, and martial arts, Richard Strozzi-Heckler – our guest in Episode 97 of The MINDSet Game® podcast – made it his mission to help leaders achieve true transformation in their organizations and the world at large. As the author of several books and the founder of the Strozzi Institute, Richard has introduced numerous different ideas and practices to help individuals achieve “embodied leadership” in a variety of settings. In this episode, Richard shares:

• The concept of somatics – which comes from the Greek word “soma,” or the living body in its wholeness – and how gaining an understanding of somatics can have an impact on individuals, organizations, and the world
• How embodiment can improve your effectiveness as a leader
• The power of verbal declarations – particularly one that states “I am a commitment” to something you’re seeking to create
• The concept of conditioned tendencies, and why it’s important to become aware of your own conditioned tendencies and work on reversing those that are no longer serving you

Richard also guides us through a powerful centering exercise that you can practice at any time to become more present, open, and connected.

• The importance of improving your self-awareness, and how the people closest to you can help you become more self-aware

For most of us, the relationships we have with our spouses or significant others are key parts of our lives. However, facing challenges in romantic relationships is a nearly universal experience, from trying to find the right partner to having arguments with one another to dealing with issues related to sex and intimacy. Often, these challenges are rooted in past experiences and traumas that may cause us to develop patterns that prevent us from attaining healthy, fulfilling relationships.

After leaving her own unfulfilling marriage, Alina Frank devoted her professional journey to helping people build the relationships they deserve. Since 2019, she has specialized in certifying relationship coaches using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and has trained, mentored, and certified hundreds of EFT practitioners through the EFT Tapping Training Institute™, which she founded with her husband, Dr. Craig Weiner.

In Episode 94 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Alina discusses the following:

• Steps to take and questions to ask yourself if you find you are in an unhappy relationship, as well as when it may be best to seek the help of a professional
• The importance of examining your own role in relationship problems
• How gaining insight into your relationship patterns—and then allowing yourself to follow your intuition and the universe to work its magic—can help guide you to the right partner
• The role of intention in building strong relationships

In addition to her work with EFT practitioners, Alina is the best-selling author of How to Want Sex Again, and has been a contributing author of eight books on EFT, including the Clinical EFT Handbook.

Have you ever felt like there were invisible barriers preventing you from achieving your goals or getting to where you wanted to be in life? For many of us, these barriers are the result of traumatic experiences that have negatively impacted the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us.  While various therapeutic modalities seek to help individuals overcome trauma, a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may deliver powerful and efficient results.

In Episode 93 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Megan McQuary – a Certified EMDR Clinician and Trainer, as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and an Advanced Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor – shares the following:

• The goals of EMDR and an overview of how it works, including the key things that Megan focuses on when conducting an EMDR session
• A metaphor to help understand how your brain operates, and why it can be difficult to think logically or make decisions effectively when you are overwhelmed by stress or other negative emotions

From the time we are young children, most of us begin incurring some forms of trauma. As we move into adulthood, it may seem that these traumatic experiences remain in the past – but in reality, they are often still a part of us, impacting our worldviews and our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. While many different therapeutic modalities aim to help overcome trauma, the ‘Time-Light’ method offers a unique approach by re-examining conventional understandings of time.

Bryan Hubbard, the creator of the ‘Time-Light’ method and our guest in Episode 92 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, struggled with chronic depression for years due to the emotional abuse that he suffered for much of his childhood. His path to healing began with a revelation: time is an energy rather than a dimension, and addressing the past traumatic experiences that we still carry is the key to returning to our natural, “time-light” state.

In this episode, Bryan discusses the following:

• The goal of the ‘Time-Light’ method and how it differs from conventional therapy
• The difference between being time-light and time-heavy – and the benefits of attaining a time-light state
• The power of thought and why it’s important to question all the assumptions you have about yourself and your life

With an extensive background as a journalist, editor, and publisher, Bryan is also the author of Time-Light and The Untrue Story of You. To learn more, visit https://time-light.co.uk.To subscribe to The MINDset Game® podcast, visit www.TheMINDsetGame.com.

Have you ever heard a piece of music, or even a sound such as falling rain, that instantly evoked a strong emotional state? If so, you’ve likely experienced the power of music and sound, which are capable of penetrating our conscious thoughts and beliefs to unlock repressed emotions and intuitive guidance. When used therapeutically, different sound frequencies can have different effects on the mind and body, inducing a state of harmony and helping to bring about transformative healing. Mei-lan Maurits, our guest in Episode 91 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, has made it her mission to use the healing power of sound to raise the frequency of our planet and help others achieve positive breakthroughs in their lives. However, Mei-lan’s journey to finding her higher calling included many years during which she struggled with significant anxiety and trauma. After a conversation with a friend led her to reexamine her self-critical thought patterns, Mei-lan began striving to affirm her own inherent worthiness and connect with a sense of purpose. Now a world-renowned intuitive singer, Mei-lan shares the following in this week’s episode:

• Why music and sound can have such profound effects on your mind and body, and how different frequencies can be used to bring about healing
• Why taking time to quiet down the noise around you and focus on your breathing is an essential step in the process of discovering your higher calling
• A beautiful song to introduce you to her vibrationally powerful music

For most of human history, we were closely connected to the earth, spending a great deal of time barefoot and in physical contact with nature. However, around 1960, the use of plastics in shoes, carpets, and other products started to become widespread, thereby creating a barrier between our bodies and the earth. Over the past six decades, another trend has emerged: a significant increase in autoimmune disorders and other inflammation-related health conditions. While the two trends may not initially seem to be related, several studies have indicated that by re-establishing our physical connection with the earth through a practice called “grounding” (or earthing), we may be able to reduce inflammation and access a wide variety of benefits.

After health challenges drove him to retire from his career in the cable TV industry at age 54, Clint Ober embarked on a journey to heal his body and find a higher purpose in life. Recalling his childhood in the 1950s – when spending time barefoot was far more common – Clint began to explore how the disruption in our natural state of being grounded to the earth could impact our health. In Episode 90 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Clint discusses:

• The science behind grounding and how physical contact with the earth affects various processes in the body, thereby reducing inflammation, alleviating pain and stress, and enhancing overall well-being
• How various studies conducted on subjects ranging from premature babies to elite athletes have demonstrated the power of grounding
• Practices and products that can help you incorporate grounding into your daily life

Have you ever formulated a clear plan for what you wanted to achieve at a certain stage of life, only to have circumstances outside of your control require you to change your plans? While situations like these may feel devastating at the time, they also represent opportunities to tune into your intuition and find a calling more closely aligned with your deeper self.

As a teenager living in Israel, Rabbi Pinchas Allouche planned to join the Israeli army and then study to become an attorney. However, when a genetic health condition prevented him from entering the army, he embarked on a journey that ultimately led him to his higher purpose. In Episode 88 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Rabbi Allouche discusses the concept that as humans, we each have infinite potential. He shares various steps you can take in order to access this infinite potential, including:

• An acronym to help you gain clarity on your purpose every day: “POPP,” which stands for personality, opportunities, places, and people
• A simple mindset shift to implement in order to transform challenging situations into positive opportunities
• Three steps to take if you want to become more attuned to your deeper self and higher purpose, but don’t know where to begin
• The importance of taking action and trying different things – even if they don’t necessarily work out as planned

Today, Rabbi Allouche is the founder and spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as highly sought-after lecturer, blogger, and author of several essays on the Jewish faith, mysticism, and social criticism.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, most people develop baseline thought patterns over time that shape how they feel emotionally and how they respond to life events. While it may seem that these thought patterns are produced exclusively by the brain, the heart also plays a major role – and in order to change thought patterns that are no longer serving you, it’s essential to shift the rhythms of the heart. 

As the Director of Research of the HeartMath Research Center at the HeartMath® Institute, Dr. Rollin McCraty has extensively studied the connection between the heart and the mind, as well as the physiology of emotion and how emotions influence cognitive processes, behavior, and health. In Episode 85 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. McCraty discusses some of his findings as he shares:

• How the brain’s amygdala functions, and the role that the heart plays in processing thoughts and emotions
• How your heart’s energy can affect those around you, and why heart-centered change is the key to improving dynamics in families, organizations, and other groups
• Simple tools for shifting your physiology into a calm, coherent state and gradually replacing maladaptive thought patterns with ones that will serve you more effectively
• The benefits that these heart-centered practices can have for you, your relationships, and the world at large

Dr. McCraty’s research interests include the physiology of emotion, heart-brain communication and the global interconnectivity between people and the earth’s energetic systems. Findings from this research have been applied to developing tools and technology to optimize individual and organizational health, performance, and quality of life. Dr. McCraty has acted as Principal Investigator in numerous studies examining the effects of emotions on heart-brain interactions and on autonomic, cardiovascular, hormonal, and immune system function, and outcome studies to determine the benefits of positive emotion-focused interventions and heart rhythm coherence feedback in diverse organizational, educational and various clinical populations. He has been featured in several documentary films such as I Am, The Truth, The Joy of Sox Movie, The Power of the Heart, Solar Revolution, The Living Matrix, and many others.

As humans, we are capable of experiencing a vast range of emotions, from anger to shame, grief to joy. However, when we encounter intense or difficult emotions, we often try to bury or avoid truly feeling them. Over time, this can create emotional baggage or “trapped emotions” — which can lead to mental and physical pain, self-sabotage, and a variety of health challenges. In Episode 83 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. Bradley Nelson discusses some of the key principles found in his best-selling book, The Emotion Code. As a holistic physician and one of the world's foremost experts on natural methods for achieving wellness, Dr. Nelson has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide to help people overcome physical and emotional discomfort by releasing their emotional baggage. In this episode, he shares:

• How the power of prayer and connection to a higher power helped him recover from serious health problems as a child – experiences that eventually led him to pursue a career in the healing arts
• How the Emotion Code® works, and why trapped emotions are so dangerous to mental and physical wellbeing
• The concept of “heart walls” – an extremely common phenomenon that can create an impediment to giving and receiving love in your life – and how they may be overcome through the Emotion Code
• A simple test you can do on your own that will help you tap into your subconscious mind in order to identify trapped emotions that need to be released

For many years, scientists believed that humans were separate entities with an individualistic nature that drove us to compete for survival. However, as modern scientists have shifted their focus to quantum physics, they have begun to understand that in reality, we are all connected as part of a quantum energy field.

In Episode 82 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Lynne McTaggart—one of the key authorities on the New Science and consciousness—offers an overview of the research exploring our inherent human connection and why it means that we each have immeasurable powers to heal ourselves, each other, and the world. Lynne also shares:

• How beliefs and intentions can bring about healing, as well as tips for setting positive intentions for yourself and others
• The concept that time is also a form of energy, which means that we are capable of healing our past traumas
• The power of group intention, including the altruism effect and other insights from international best-selling book, The Power of Eight®

In addition to The Power of Eight®, Lynne’s publications include The Field, The Intention Experiment, and The Bond. She is consistently listed as one of the top 100 spiritually influential people in the world, as well as the co-founder of the international magazine, What Doctors Don’t Tell You, the “Get Well” health expo, and the architect of the Intention Experiments, which is a web-based global laboratory to test the power of intention to heal our world.

As we move through life, each of us will inevitably experience grief. Our encounters with grief may range from relatively minor to severe and life-altering, and may stem from the loss of a friend, loved one, job, or anything else that we value. While grief may be universal, the reaction to it can vary greatly from person to person and experience to experience. In Episode 78 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Vered Kogan tackles the difficult subject of grief in a conversation with Karen McKy. Karen is an internationally certified instructor in PSYCH-K®, a profound set of processes that help the subconscious mind rewrite self-limiting programs (beliefs) into life-enhancing subconscious programs. She is also a former clinical hypnotherapist and brain-mapping technician with a diverse business background, including over 40 years of experience in both the corporate and entrepreneurial arenas.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The value of accepting that grief is a process that we all experience differently—and regardless of the emotions or reactions that arise, it’s important to allow yourself to go through the process and let grief be experienced as it needs to be.
• Why you should plan for the grieving process in advance. Knowing that grief cannot be avoided, it may be beneficial to have conversations with your loved ones and start formulating plans for how you will proceed when inevitable losses occur—which can help you navigate the process without becoming overwhelmed by the pain of grief.
• Strategies for approaching your own eventual transition from life to death in order to ease the process and alleviate fear for yourself and your loved ones.

In Episode 73 of The MINDset Game podcast, Mikki Williams highlights how storytelling can strengthen your relationships and help you create the life you truly want. As Mikki shares her personal journey from overcoming tragedy to building a successful career as an entrepreneur and internationally acclaimed speaker with honors that include membership in the prestigious Speaker Hall of Fame, you will learn:

• The importance of owning your own choices, particularly when faced with unexpected challenges
• The power of the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories can either hold you back from your goals or propel you towards them
• How storytelling can foster connection with others in both personal and professional settings
• Actionable ideas for capturing your own stories and using them to inspire positive transformation in your life

In addition to being a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, Mikki Williams is a Certified Speaking Professional, TEDx Speaker, and transformational storyteller who has captivated audiences on every continent except Antarctica (where she can’t wear her stilettos). She is also an award-winning speaker with Vistage, the world’s leading executive organization, and a former master chair of two of their peer advisory boards.
