    Ep. 5: The Non-Technical Skill That Transformed My Career

    In this episode of The Emerging Leader podcast, I discuss the number one non-technical skill that has drastically transformed my career: Radical Problem Solving. This skill, previously known as solution-based thinking, equips professionals from any field to address challenges effectively by zooming out, identifying ideal solutions, and working backward. I share a personal application of this from my tenure at Infrabuild, where I developed a revolutionary app for real-time data entry, which significantly impacted my career trajectory. I talk about how you can apply this in your career but, most importantly, doing the right thing even if it's the hard thing. 00:41 The Non-Technical Skill That Transformed My Career 01:37 Defining Radical Problem Solving 04:15 I need to develop an app.... 13:02 Applications in your own career 22:28 Conclusion Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ashleylinkewich⁠ Tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/ashlinkewich⁠ Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Email: ⁠https://www.ashleylinkewich.com/contact

    Ep. 4: The Real Reason You Can't Stick To Anything

    Are you struggling to stick to habits, do what you need to do to secure a promotion, or are generally not getting the outcomes you know you're capable of getting? I've been there. In episode 4 of The Emerging Leader Podcast, I explore the critical role of identity in achieving lasting change across various aspects of life, such as career, health, and finances. By shifting from "doing" to "being", you can learn to align their identity with their desired habits and goals. I discuss the concept of 'be, do, have,' as popularized by Jim Fortin and James Clear, alongside the benefits of hypnotherapy and visualization as methods to reprogram the subconscious mind for sustained success. 02:09 Understanding Identity 03:13 The Power of Identity in Habits 05:38 Identity-Based Habits and Motivation 09:41 Be, Do, Have: A Transformational Concept 11:46 Practical Applications in Career and Life 18:46 Changing Your Subconscious Identity 20:21 Hypnotherapy and Subconscious Reprogramming 24:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts The Jim Fortin Podcast (Episode) Atomic Habits (Book) The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (Book) Harmony Hypnosis (App) Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ashleylinkewich⁠ Tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/ashlinkewich⁠ Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Email: ⁠https://www.ashleylinkewich.com/contact

    Ep. 3: Coexisting with Fear to Achieve Your Goals

    In this episode of the Emerging Leader Podcast, I delve into the complex topic of fear—what it is, why we have it, and how we can coexist with it. Drawing from personal experiences and psychological insights, I explore the nature of fear and the concept of courage as its counterbalance.  Topics include the inherent human trait of fear, the spotlight effect, and the classification of fears by psychologist Carl Albrecht. I talk about the importance of facing and accepting fear as an inevitable part of growth, and challenge you to have one hard conversation each week and to embrace the uncomfortable fringes where success lies.  00:43 Where does fear originate? 03:22 Personal Experiences with Fear 04:24 Fight Fear with Courage 05:43 Classifying Different Types of Fear 08:35 Overcoming Fear Through Examples 17:44 The Spotlight Effect Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ashleylinkewich⁠ Tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/ashlinkewich⁠ Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ashleylinkewich⁠ Email: ⁠https://www.ashleylinkewich.com/contact

    Insight 1: The Region Beta Paradox

    In this first "Insight" episode, I dive into a fascinating concept I discovered on the Modern Wisdom Podcast: the Region Beta Paradox. This idea challenged me to examine my own life and identify areas where I was staying too comfortable instead of pushing myself to improve. It raises an important question: how can we generate more activation energy to make improvements now, rather than waiting for things to get worse and force a change? My goal with these short insight episodes is to tackle quick, impactful topics that are too brief for a full episode but can be immediately applied to your life.
