    ICommunicate Radio Show #59: Progress vs Achievement

    Congratulations, you’ve achieved a goal! But why should we be proud of ourselves? In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo President Mark Altman discusses how to accurately assess your progress, manage our self-esteem in challenging times, and utilize a mix of feedback and past experiences to construct a personal success template. Segment 1: All of the failure and success we’ve experienced over the course of our careers means nothing if we don’t seek to improve. How do we measure progress if there is no achievement? How can we alter our mindset to notice areas where we can improve? Segment 2: Stay interviews are a prime opportunity to garner a deep understanding of our employees, their goals, and their progress towards the company’s goals. How are we measuring performance reviews from one year to the next, and why is it so important that we keep track of that progress? What is “internal customer service,” and how can it be a major factor in shifting company culture? Segment 3: Process is not simply an agenda -- it’s a structure that’s meant to enhance efficiency, communication, and success. What are the components to creating an efficient process for ourselves and our team? Segment 4: We all have goals, but what’s the point in setting them? Where does our confidence come from, and how can that knowledge shape our approach to problem solving going forward? What are SMART goals, and how can we use this template to achieve tangible goals and recognize progress?

    ICommunicate Radio Show #96: The Unfair Mindset

    Why do we so often run into situations where either we feel treated unfairly or someone else feels as though they’ve been treated unfairly? In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo Founder and President Mark Altman discusses how to navigate “fairness” in all aspects – at home, in our personal lives and at work. Why do “unfair” situations arise in the first place? Can we get ahead of them? How can we rewire our mindset to overcome unfair situations? Segment 1: At work and in life, how do we cope with the feeling of losing control? How do we react when we feel as though we’re being treated unfairly? How can we manage when someone feels as though they are being treated unfairly? Are there steps we can take to prevent feelings of unfairness from festering and boiling over? Why do we feel as though we have to apologize for our emotions? Segment 2: How can we influence outcomes by reframing information and situations? What’s the deal with luck – is it necessary? Can we create our own luck? What leads to disappointment in life and in business? Can we separate our mindset from entitlement? Segment 3: Why do we perceive situations as unfair? How can we get past a negative mindset when it comes to fairness? Who do you go to when you want to vent about fairness or a frustrating situation? What role is that person playing? Why does gratitude sometimes feel disingenuous? Is there a productive way to complain? Segment 4: What’s the best way to express gratitude? How can we be more mindful with what we’re grateful for? How can we effectively evaluate ourselves? If I pitch my boss an idea and they shut it down – where do I go from there? How can I reframe that situation to produce success?
