Are you a mission-driven leader or entrepreneur who is creating positive change in the lives of other people, communities, cultures, or the world? You've come to the right podcast, Shift-Starter! The truth is, creating meaningful change "out there" often requires you to make shifts "in here" - in how you think and feel, who you BE, and what you DO. And it's often the tiniest of shifts that create the biggest ripples of impact. I'm Dr. Erin Baker, a transformational coach, social psychologist, and life-long shift-starter. Join me as I unpack and explore the most meaningful shifts I've made as a leader, mission-driven entrepreneur, and person, and listen in to inspiring conversations with transformational leaders, entrepreneurs, culture creators, and activists - who are shifting the world from the inside out.

    A World Where Questions Are More Important than Answers with Komal Dadlani

    Scientist & entrepreneur Komal Dadlani is starting some powerful shifts in science and education. While studying biochemistry in the University of Chile, Komal recognized the lack of scientific instruments in laboratories. So, in 2013, despite having had no prior knowledge of entrepreneurship and business start-ups at the time, Komal courageously took on the challenge of co-founding and becoming CEO of Lab4U, a company that develops technologies that transform mobile devices into scientific instruments. Lab4U is designed to supplement the gaps in science and education and allows its 120,000 users around the world to have a lab in their pockets. Komal, guided by her desire to serve humanity, is committed to democratizing science and revolutionizing education by helping students become more inquisitive about the world. She has received numerous accolades in recognition of her work, including the Cartier Women's Initiative Award. In today's episode, Komal and I discuss the gaps in science & education in Chile and Latin America and how those inequalities inspired her to start Lab4U. We describe the beauty of science and how we can all don lab coats and be scientists of our lives and explain why, as a society, we need to grow our "threshold" of science. We also highlight the importance of integrating spirituality, science, and business and how revolutionizing science and education can impact society and alleviate suffering in the world. "Good intentions are not enough to solve the world's problems - we need a real understanding of science to change them." - Komal Dadlani This week on Shift-Starters: The impetus behind Lab4U The science & education inequalities in Chile and Latin America The beauty of science and what defines a scientist Life as a series of data points and why a PhD is an entrepreneurial venture Bringing the scientific mindset into education and entrepreneurship The power of inquiry-based learning and the importance of helping students inquire about the world The fundamental philosophy of coaching Science as an approach to life and the long-term vision of Lab4U Exploring epistemology and the philosophy of science Transforming education to reduce social pain and the importance of civic & scientific literacy The lessons Komal realized about being a woman entrepreneur in a male-dominated world My past life in the tech industry and the perspective that's missing in start-up culture The place of spirituality in science and business The tension between science and religion and how the two can work in symbiosis Resources Mentioned: The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality by His Holiness the Dalai Lama The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Warner Klemp Related Content: Leave it Better Than You Came with Sophia Wood Connect with Komal Dadlani: Lab4U Lab4U on LinkedIn Lab4U on Instagram Lab4U on Facebook Lab4U on Twitter Komal Dadlani on LinkedIn Komal Dadlani on Instagram Komal Dadlani on Twitter EMAIL: info@komaldadlani.com / komal@Lab4U.co Let's Start Some Shift!

    Everything You Know Is Obvious

    Where in your work do you hold yourself back, discounting your knowledge and experience, thinking that everybody knows what you already know? Do you often think that the wisdom you possess is simply obvious, so you hold yourself back from sharing it with your clients, peers, and the wider world? These thoughts occur to many of us so frequently that they prevent us from sharing our gifts, talents, and wisdom with the world. We tell ourselves we don't have anything worthy to say or teach. We never put up the coaching programs or workshops we said we would because everyone already knows what we have to share with the world. In this episode, I reveal the curse that many high-achievers, top-performers, and lifelong learners suffer from - and how you can move through it. I describe our tendency to undervalue our knowledge and expertise and explain how this tendency prevents us from working with others and creating valuable content. I also discuss the importance of taking risks in testing whether the knowledge you possess is simply common and underscore the power of asking "why?" "Remind yourself that you have so much more to give to this world than you are giving yourself credit for." - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: A clapping experiment and the curse of knowledge The curse of knowledge and how it can impede entrepreneurs and leaders from creating and sharing our gifts with the world How we undervalue our knowledge and what our experience tells us How the curse of knowledge affects me in my everyday life A strategy for getting past the curse of knowledge Testing how obvious your knowledge and experience are Pulling an idea and creating social media content, workshops, or courses around your knowledge and ways of being The value of surrounding yourself with beginners Let's Start Some Shift!

    Executive & Leadership Coach ClaireYvonne Naisbitt was already creating some great shifts in her life when I first met her. After 20 years of being a senior leader in the oil & gas industry, ClaireYvonne decided that she wanted to do something completely different in her life. So, she left her corporate job and went on a journey of deep work and self-exploration where she contemplated femininity, duality, and the "ands" of the world.

In this episode, ClaireYvonne and I discuss how we can turn the loud concert in our heads into birdsong.

We discuss the importance of cultivating a space where we can listen to the subtle wisdom of our heart and body. We also underscore the role of nature in healing, the importance of bringing more femininity into the world, and highlight how creativity and happiness come whenever we reconnect deeply with ourselves.

It helps us descend into a place of calm, where the live band in our minds becomes birdsong." - ClaireYvonne Naisbitt This week on Shift Starters: What drove ClaireYvonne to leave the oil & gas industry to do something different in her life What the transition from working in a big corporation to starting a business was like for ClaireYvonne ClaireYvonne's 9-month soulbbatical and how it helped her tap into her creative side Deciding to take it slow in life and switching from scarcity to an abundance mindset Joy creation and the power of being in the moment Cultivating a space in our lives where we can listen to the heart and body What it means to reconnect with our bodies to make decisions The healing power of nature and exercises to help us reconnect with the wisdom of our body One of the most difficult challenges in Western society The importance of balancing femininity and masculinity in the world The role of nature in helping us access our highest consciousness The relationship between leadership and happiness Related Content: The Secret to Liberating a Billion Souls: Trust AND Surrender with Shelley Paxton Connect with ClaireYvonne Naisbitt: BrightCatalyst BrightCatalyst on Facebook ClaireYvonne Naisbitt on LinkedIn Let's Start Some Shift!

    What if it *is* possible? with Tim Snell

    Where in your life have you decided you simply can't? And in this area of your journey, have you ever stopped to think what can happen if you asked yourself, "What if it's possible?" Because that's exactly what started some shifts in the life of Tim Snell, Head of Performance at the London tech start-up Modulous. Asking "what if'' questions took Tim on a journey that led him to a path of healing and self-discovery that opened his heart. Today, in addition to working on projects and initiatives at Modulous, Tim is also a Certified International Leadership & Performance Coach and SOMA Breath Advanced Instructor who leads his clients into places they never imagined they could achieve. In this episode, Tim and I discuss how the story of a young boy inspired him to embark on a spiritual journey and discover what's possible. We describe how Tim had lost his hearing at age four and how he later questioned the diagnosis about his hearing loss. We explain what shifts started happening as a result of Tim's deep exploration within. We also discuss the memoir Tim is currently writing, the challenges of the writing process, and the reason writers should never hike alone. "The process of 'what if' is about opening yourself up to a different reality. It's also about working through other real blocks inside you." - Tim Snell This week on Shift-Starters: Tim's journey of self-discovery and learning why he lost his hearing at a young age How Tim was treated differently after losing his hearing Turning to spiritual explorations to find answers The story of a boy who healed himself through meditative practices What Tim learned about his hearing loss when he went to a retreat in Peru Going deep into one's personal shadows and re-learning how to listen Discovering the blocks that prevented Tim from hearing How it's easy for us to blame other people for our problems and the importance of ownership Integrating our challenging experiences into ourselves The circumstances that inspired Tim to write his book The value of telling stories to help others Common misconceptions about writing and the writing process Why people should seek a community of writers Resources Mentioned: Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life by Shelley Paxton Connect with Tim Snell: Tim Snell Website Tim Snell on LinkedIn Tim Snell on Instagram Tim Snell on Facebook Tim Snell on YouTube Email: tim@timsnell.co Let's Start Some Shift!

    What if I can't?

    Whenever you hesitate to take a leap of faith into something you dream of, what sort of questions pop into your mind? Are they around the lines of "What if I can't start a business," "What if I can't write a great book," or "What if I don't earn enough income?" We tend to go down the rabbit hole of such doubts, preventing us from starting some shifts. But there are better questions that we can ask ourselves. And, like consulting a compass that guides us through life's journey, asking ourselves better questions can shift our mindset and approach towards different actions we want to take. In this episode, I share two better questions you can ask yourself in your shift-starting. I discuss some of my coaching principles and why I do them. I reveal some of the most common questions I hear from people who are about to embark on new journeys, whether it's starting a business, writing a book, or creating a podcast. I also describe what happens when we shift our mindset from "What if I can't?" to "What if I don't?" and explain how we can change the energy of fear by asking powerful questions. "When we ask ourselves 'What if I can't,' we shut down possibility and creativity. When we ask 'Can I?' we open up so much more in the world and take risks." - Erin Baker This week on Shift-Starters: My coaching principles and why I don't give my clients answers The biggest fear clients face when they're starting new projects Better questions to ask yourself before starting some shifts in your life The top regrets of the dying and how we can shift from "What if I can't?" to "What if I don't?" The impact of asking "Can I?" How we can allow ourselves to take risks and try new things Why finding answers aren't everything and the value of curiosity Finding an incredible question to live into Let's Start Some Shift!

    What does it really mean to *do* you? with Erin Hatzikostas

    Erin Hatzikostas spent over 20 years in the corporate world, including becoming the CEO of a large healthcare company at age 42, where she oversaw more than 1,000 people, tripled company earnings, and increased employee engagement and company culture scores exponentially. In 2018, she decided to leave. Erin knew she was put into this world for something bigger. Her mission is to rewrite the workplace to make it more authentic. With that epiphany in her heart, Erin founded b Authentic Inc., through which she helps people find and grow the careers (and lives) that they love - without compromise. In this episode, Erin and I define what it takes to truly be authentic. We explain how authenticity is so much more than being unfiltered and describe how you can cultivate it. We discuss what prompted Erin to create b Authentic Inc. and describe her journey writing her new book, You do You(ish). We also underscore the importance of putting on a lab coat and being a scientist of authenticity, experimenting with life, continuously designing our life path as we go, and starting some shifts. "Authenticity is more than just being yourself. It is less about you and more about connecting with others." - Erin Hatzikostas This week on Shift-Starters: The meaning of authenticity and why it's more nuanced than just being yourself How being authentic can make people listen to you more What authenticity isn't about and the power of (re)designing our lives Why the "find your true self" trope in the personal development space can be problematic The reason Erin created a movement around authenticity The 50% Rule and Erin's writing process for You Do You(ish) Why Erin cut 20,000 words of You Do You(ish)  Life as data points and the value of experimentation Resources Mentioned: Why You Don't Have to Compromise Your Career | Erin Hatzikostas |TEDxFarmingdale Connect with Erin Hatzikostas: b Authentic Inc b Cause Podcast b Authentic Inc on Facebook b Cause Podcast on Twitter Erin Hatzikostas on LinkedIn Erin Hatzikostas on Instagram Erin Hatzikostas on Facebook Erin Hatzikostas on Twitter Book: You Do You(ish): Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve by Erin Hatzikostas Let's Start Some Shift!
