    267 How Great Leaders Make Better Decisions: Interview with Cornelia Choe

    The more complex our world becomes, the more important it is to recognize what we might be missing. In this episode of The Mindset Game podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Cornelia Choe, international leadership expert and co-author with Marshall Goldsmith of The Panoramic Leader, about how leaders can make better decisions by broadening their perspectives and tapping into the collective wisdom of those around them. In a world of constant change, no single person can see the whole picture. Cornelia introduces the concept of panoramic leadership and explains how shifting from being the expert with all the answers to becoming a curious investigator can help leaders uncover blind spots, build trust, and navigate uncertainty with greater confidence. In this conversation, you'll learn: • Why perspective blindness can lead even experienced leaders to make poor decisions • How to shift from being the expert to becoming a courageously curious investigator • Why building trusted relationships is essential for gaining honest perspectives • How to use fear as a catalyst for curiosity rather than allowing it to limit your thinking • Simple practices to broaden your perspective and make better decisions To learn more about Cornelia's work and The Panoramic Leader, visit CorneliaChoe.com or connect with her on LinkedIn.

    266 Making Peace With Yourself: Interview with Sophia Mose

    We all have patterns we wish we could change: the perfectionism, the people-pleasing, the urge to fix everything, or the reaction in a meeting we regret an hour later. Most of us try to push these patterns away or criticize ourselves for them. But what if they're actually trying to help us? In this episode of The Mindset Game® podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Sophia Mose, an executive coach, IFS certified practitioner, and co-designer of the IFS Foundations for Coaches program at the IFS Institute. Sophia explains how the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model helps us understand the different "parts" of ourselves, and why getting curious about them, instead of fighting them, is what allows real change to happen. Sophia also guides listeners through a short visualization to prepare for a conversation with someone they find difficult, whether that's a colleague, a client, or a family member. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why the patterns we label as self-sabotage often have a positive intent How curiosity, rather than self-criticism, helps old patterns soften Why qualities like compassion, clarity, and confidence don't need to be developed, only uncovered How the drama triangle shows up in our relationships, and how to step out of it To learn more about Sophia's work with leaders, visit SophiaMose.com or connect with her on LinkedIn. To learn even more about the IFS model, listen to  Episode 207 with Dr. Richard Schwartz, creator of Internal Family Systems.
