    The Three Keys to Unlocking a Fulfilling Life

    You might not realize it, but there are three things happening in your brain all the time, influencing everything you do. These three elements determine how you think, feel, and act, shaping your entire experience of life. Most people go through life unaware of them, but once you understand what they are and how to work with them, everything changes. Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Rohm, and in my latest podcast episode, I break down the three crucial parts of your brain that you need to master to live a more joyful, successful, and fulfilling life. It took me years to figure this out, but I’m sharing it with you in the hopes it saves you some of the struggle. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Mind: This is your thought processor. It shapes how you interpret everything in life. If you’re thinking positive, constructive thoughts, your experience of life improves dramatically. * Emotions: Your feelings follow your thoughts. Whatever you’re thinking, your emotions will follow suit. Learn how to better manage your emotional responses, and you’ll feel more in control and less reactive to the world around you. * Will: This is the decider. It’s the part of your brain that takes what you think and feel, and makes the final call. The key? Learning to make wise decisions, regardless of how you might feel in the moment. When you understand how these three work together, it becomes much easier to make choices that align with the life you want to live. This episode dives into practical examples that will help you not only grasp these concepts, but put them to use immediately. It’s about recognizing that you are in control. You may not always control your circumstances, but you can control how you think, feel, and decide to respond. Why Should You Listen? By mastering the connection between your mind, emotions, and will, you’ll: * Improve how you handle tough situations. * Make better decisions that lead to better outcomes. * Find more joy in everyday life by feeling more in control. * Learn to stop reacting based purely on emotions and start making choices that support the life you want. This episode isn’t just about understanding these three elements—it’s about putting them to work for you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just curious how to take your personal growth to the next level, this conversation will give you the tools to create lasting change. So, take a few minutes to tune in. Your mind, your emotions, and your future self will thank you for it. This is a public episode.

    Three Simple Keys to Lasting Joy

Listen in to understand why joy can be your constant companion, even when happiness seems fleeting. Here are five key takeaways from the session that I think are worth keeping in mind: * Happiness vs. Joy Happiness is linked to our external happenings, but joy is deeper and independent of circumstances. * God is in Control Even when life seems chaotic, the settled assurance that God is in control can bring us immense joy. * Everything Will Be Alright Hold on to the quiet confidence that, ultimately, things will work out, even in stormy times. * Determined Choice to Praise Joy comes from a conscious decision to praise and trust in God's larger plan, even when we can't see the full picture. * Attitude of Gratitude Embracing joy can inadvertently lead to greater happiness. It's all about giving God time to work and keeping that gratitude flowing. Dr. Robert A. Rohm is a well-known speaker, author, and expert in the fields of communication, leadership, and personality assessment.

    Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking

    Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking: A Journey from Kindergarten to Confidence Join an Upcoming Speakers Boot Camp: www.personality-insights.com/sbc 5 Key Points of the Podcast Episode: * Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking: Dr. Robert Rohm discusses how public speaking is one of the most common fears, comparable to the fear of being burned by fire, and offers insights on how to conquer this anxiety. * The Power of Having Something to Say: He emphasizes that effective public speaking starts with standing up and sharing a meaningful message, highlighting that the message's importance surpasses any personal apprehensions. * The Message Over the Messenger: Through a compelling story from his college days, Dr. Rohm illustrates that delivering crucial information is more important than worrying about how one is perceived by the audience. * Understanding Personality Styles Enhances Communication: By explaining the DISC model of human behavior, he shows how recognizing different personality types can improve communication and make public speaking more effective. * Public Speaking Skills Can Be Learned and Improved: Dr. Rohm introduces his Speakers Boot Camp as an opportunity for anyone to develop and refine their public speaking abilities, reinforcing that these skills are essential and attainable for personal and professional growth. In most surveys, the two biggest fears people have are being burned to death by fire and public speaking. Can you imagine that? The thought of standing up in front of others scares folks almost as much as the idea of being caught in a fire. Well, I won't be tackling how to escape a fire today, but I do want to help you overcome the fear of public speaking. Hi, I'm Dr. Robert Rohm. I've been speaking for close to 70 years now. My first experience was at my kindergarten graduation back in 1954. I was the master of ceremonies, dressed in a white tuxedo, welcoming everyone and introducing our play, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." I still remember that moment vividly. Looking back, I realize my teachers must have noticed that I loved to talk. They gave me the chance to stand up and speak, and that simple act set the stage for the rest of my life. Over the years, I've learned that public speaking is less about talent and more about having something to say. I once taught a class of fourth graders this simple lesson: the secret to effective speaking is to stand up and speak. It sounds obvious, but it's true. The best speakers are those who have something to say and aren't afraid to say it. I also remember a story from my college days that changed my perspective on public speaking forever. My speech teacher, Dr. Seymour, told us about walking past a friend's house at 2 a.m. and noticing it was on fire. He asked us what kind of friend would he be if he didn't do everything possible to alert them. The point was clear: when you have an important message, it's your duty to share it, no matter how nervous you might feel. The message is more important than the messenger. Understanding different personality styles has also been key in my journey. Some people are outgoing and task-oriented, others are reserved and people-oriented. Knowing your own style and how to communicate with others can make a huge difference in how your message is received. That's why I'm passionate about our Speakers Boot Camp. We hold it twice a year in Atlanta, Georgia. It's a three-day event where we help people from all walks of life become confident, effective speakers. We have a team of coaches representing different personality styles who provide personalized feedback. Even Warren Buffett has said that public speaking is one of the most valuable skills you can learn. It's not just about speaking to large crowds; it's about communicating your message effectively in any situation. So, whether you're a teacher, a business professional, or someone who simply wants to share their story, I invite you to consider taking this step. Over
