EP58: MINDSET GOT YOU...Mmm? Pivoting From A Fixed Mindset To a Growth Mindset

EP58: MINDSET GOT YOU...Mmm? Pivoting From A Fixed Mindset To A Growth Mindset
Hey Chit Chatters!
Don’t you just love when the people around you (physically and virtually) provide you with moments of inspiration that have you saying... YAAASSS!
Well this episode comes from an inspiration from my Lindsey Pollak’s new book Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through The Changing World of Work, which is available tomorrow (03/23).
Y’all I am so excited for this book! I can wait for the world to experience it. If you want to know more about the book, I had Lindsey on the podcast late last year (2020) on Episode 34. 
Today we’re going to go deep into the study of mindset, but also help you understand where you need to shift your mindset and how.   
Carol Dweck, PhD, authored the book, “Mindset, The New Psychology of Success.”She compares people who have a  “fixed” mindset to those who have a “growth”mindset
What’s the difference you ask? 
Fixed Mindset: According to Dwek, an individual who believes that they have a particular group of qualities, traits and talents that are permanently set. 
For example, “I’m terrible at math” or “I can never get that job!”
A Growth Mindset has the complete opposite approach, individuals who hold a growth mindset believe that almost any challenge can be overcome, any failure is an opportunity to grow, and any talent or ability can be improved through learning and action. 
Now at this point you might already be aware of which midget represents you best. If you’re stuck on a fixed one, let work towards shifting it into growth.
In my friend Lindsey’s book she shared a powerful strategy that can help folks who want to pivot to a growth approach. 
She uses a three letter word: “YET”. Instead of always thinking and believing that “you can’t do” or “you don” to any sentence add the word “yet” and it will shift to how you see, hear, believe and think about your abilities. 
This just a small step to eliminate a limiting belief of what can be something great!
Here’s an example: “I don’t have the interview skills to succeed… it’s hopeless”
ASK YOURSELF: What can you do to help you prepare to improve your interviewing skills. 
Now the journey to shift your mindset takes time and work in changing your behaviors. YOU NEED TO PRACTICE and remind yourself before you say I CAN’T or I DON’T of the word YET!
If this episode has brought you value in any way go out and share with someone you think needs to hear this! I am excited for all the things to come on the podcast, but if your in a place/space where you’re considering coaching and need help with your mindset below is my contact info. I encourage you to reach out! Let’s have a chat and see how I can help you!
I can’t wait to read your response and for the next episode.  If you found value in today's episode, please leave a review on apple podcast and on podchaser. Reviews help the show grow and be seen by more people.

EP57: UNCOVERING YOUR STRENGTH SERIES: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 1- Individualization

EP57: UNCOVERING YOUR STRENGTH SERIES: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 1- Individualization
 
Hello Chit Chatters,
I am so excited to bring you this episode, the first in our series on Uncovering Your Strengths- Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 1- INDIVIDUALIZATION
 
This particular Strength/Theme is one that shows up for me the most everyday. It’s the one I use everyday in my life and the one that honestly brings me the most joy! 
 
You’re probably wondering what does Individualization means, so Gallup/CliftonStrengths has a textbook definition for this one, literally their own textbook. In the book, Strengthfinder 2.0, From Gallup: Discover Your CliftonStrengths, it says “Your Individualization theme leads you to be intrigued  by the unique qualities of each person. You are impatient with generalizations or ‘types’ because you don’t want to obscure what is special and distinct about each person. Instead, you focus on the differences between individuals. You instinctively observe each person’s style, each person’s motivation, how each thinks and how each builds relationships. 
 
Now there is a lot more there to dig into when it comes to this particular definition and the details behind which is what we uncover into this episode. What I want you to know is this particular theme falls in the domain/category of Relationship Building. 
This helps people from all spaces of the world of work to not only be a strong leader in their space, but also to show up for their team and their individual staff/subordinate. 
If this sounds like you and you're ready to take action subscribe  to the podcast so you can get alerts when episodes on this series will be released and if you want to take the CliftonStrengths assessment here is a link to one of my coaching packages that offer it!

This tool is intended to help people maximize their human potential. Allowing you to supercharge your energy using your talent/strengths to be more efficient in your life and at work. 
As a coach, I have successfully helped hundreds of students, clients and businesses learn about their talents, develop their leadership skills while establishing a strategic plan to succeed in all things. Uncovering your Top 5 Themes is just the beginning of the journey when you take the CliftonStrengths Assessment it’s an opportunity to transform your life.

EP54: COMFORT ZONE GOT YOU STUCK? 6 Beliefs, Behaviors & Feelings That Are Preventing You From Success

EP54: COMFORT ZONE GOT YOU STUCK? 6 Beliefs, Behaviors & Feelings That Are Preventing You From Success
 
Hello Chit Chatters!
This week’s episode is all about stepping into the space of talking about the things that we may not acknowledge about ourselves wholeheartedly, but we recognize how ugly these feelings and behaviors can be! 
 
That’s right! It’s time to understand, recognize and uncover the triggers that you’ve created in your mindset that are keeping you from the things you want the most of. 
 
Here’s the truth, we all have a resistance to fear. We all have fears that we’ll never share with anyone, but in the voice inside your head, you’re sharing that fear. And that fear is something you’ve gotten really comfortable with because you keep feeding it what it needs to continue to fester inside you and not allow you to pivot to achieve your goals. 
 
Let’s dive into what these fears are called, why they are part of our comfort zone and what can we learn from them to allow us to grow! Grab your pen and paper! 
 
**Discretion: These aren’t created by me. These are observations from a coaching program that I participated in and I feel that it is important for me to share! SHARING IS CARING!**
 
Striving without receiving
Processes without results (this is so mee!!)
Pleasure without satisfaction
Living by other people’s choices
Agony
Joy
 
Dig into the episode for examples and ideas of what you can do to work through each of these themes and uncover which of the behaviors, beliefs and feeling(s) is yours.

BONUS EPISODE! EP52: ARE YOU MULTIPASSIONATE? How To Accomplish All The Things Without The Burnout

BONUS EPISODE! EP52: ARE YOU MULTI-PASSIONATE? How To Accomplish All The Things Without The Burnout
Hello Chit Chatters!
Welcome to this bonus episode for this week! Today I am digging into ridding yourself of the burnout when you're a multi-passionate. My tips for getting shit done!
Bring your pen and paper for this one because you're gonna want to write down these notes!
 What's most important going into this is the mindset work you need to prepare for to really accomplish what you want. You're probably saying what does that mean?
Here are the two mindset for this: SELF-AWARENESS & SELF REFLECTION
This is going to give you the constant reminder of where you are and where you want to go to achieve your goals in this journey!
Here's how we start...
Think of all the things you want to accomplish. We are going to label them with what is IMPORTANT (I), what is a PRIORITY (P) and what brings you JOY (J). I call this my IPJ method. I've used the I & P  for years and as time went on I realized that the energy of where I spend most of my time needs to be surrounded by what brings me the most JOY! So I added the J into this. 
You're probably saying, everything is Important!! I will agree that every is important, but not everything is a Priority! - I get this is hard, but trust me. You will thank me later when you do this. 
NOW... You need to be very practical and realistic to have the most IMPACT on what is delivering  you the most joy in all the things. 
After you've made your list, go back and label each thing with the IPJ. Be very realistic. YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS!! 
Here is the hard part, think about what isn't bringing you the joy and cross it off your list. Be sure to look at the items on your list that have all three (IPJ) or a (PJ). Circle them.  
I know this is hard. If you're really being self-aware and paying attention to what you value and how you want to spend your time to make these tough decisions. If you're more aware, scratching these things will be easier. 
To help you gain clarity on how to do all of this and if you're stuck and not sure where to start here are some questions to jump start this process...
What brings you the most joy?
What is the impact of your passion project?
What is going to bring you revenue?
How much time are you going to spend on these projects?
Who is being impacted by this and where will all this get you? 
What is it that you value most in your life and what's it going to take to build this?
USE YOUR HEART! Lean into what is giving you the most value. Keep asking yourself..
What will this do for your future? What is the potential of this? 
Now that we've mapped this out a bit you can see how you can still be multi-passionate in achieving the things that you know will make you more successful and make your business, career and life stronger because you've focused your energy on what's giving you the most joy!
