You can adjust your perspective and ease your emotional response.Your amygdala (reptilian brain) operates in on/off. It does not reason. In any situation, when you feel your stomach clench (or other physical response), you have the ability to provide yourself with context, which can turn the amygdala off, so that your body will relax instead of going into fight/flight response.You can take the third person approach with yourself…provide yourself with context and tell yourself that it will be OK because in most situations, it will be!How a change of scenery can help quiet your mind and soothe you.And so much more!Connect with Josh:

    What is your definition of success? with Becca Pearce

    What is your definition of success? with Becca Pearce

    Have you created and do you live by your own definition of success?

    When Executive Coach Becca Pearce was a prominent CEO, she experienced a very public failure. Incredibly, this was soon followed by discovering she had a massive brain tumor, thankfully benign. In both situations, Becca worked hard to get back to being in charge, to getting back on the “success train” she had always been on. But after getting back to work, she was miserable. Becca recognized that it was time to create her own definition of success and to live by it. We talk about the lessons Becca learned and how she worked to redefine her life and to silence the mindcluck that had held her back. Are you feeling stuck right now? Do not miss this episode!

    What you’ll learn:
    When you fail at something or make a mistake, the people who love you, will love you no matter what. They do not love you because of what you achieve, they love you because of who you are. Read that again.You can write your own definition of success and live by it no matter what path you’re currently on.Letting your emotions flow and then asking yourself why you feel angry, sad, frustrated, etc. gives you the opportunity to understand yourself better and to identify limiting beliefs which you have the ability to change.When mindcluck gets loud…What is your mind telling you? Do you know the part of you that is offering this mindcluck? Did you know you can “retire” that part of you?Pay attention to the voices in your mind when you are happy! How do they differ from mindcluck voices? By focusing on them, you can strengthen them. Neurons that fire together, wire together.The next time you feel tense/stressed/stomach clench, pause, and tune in to ask yourself where is that coming from?And so much more!Connect with Becca:

    What do you believe about yourself? with Brooke Dukes

    What do you believe about yourself? with Brooke Dukes

    What do you believe about yourself?

    Join me for an inspiring conversation with Executive Coach, Brooke Dukes. A life-changing experience drove Brooke to recognize that her actions--putting her energy towards her work as a high level executive--were in direct contradiction to what she told herself she valued. Brooke shares her powerful approach of aligning your values, your behaviors and your plans to silence your mindcluck, add value in any situation, and create win-wins. We talk about the power that comes from being proactively vulnerable (telling someone how you feel, that you are hurt, tell them what you want). Learn how to shift from reacting in challenging situations to remaining calm and centered, and so much more!

    What you’ll learn:
    When someone is coming at you with high emotions (anger, sadness, frustration, etc.), don’t answer in the same way—with reactivity. Do your best to answer with curiosity or if you are able to, with love.In any situation, take a moment to reflect and align your focus, your self-talk and your physiology to empower yourself.Discover/create your own mantra and use it to interrupt your mindcluck and to redirect your mind to an empowering thought.Discover/create power moves…one you can do on your own and one you can do in the presence of other people (in other words, a more subtle move that no one is likely to notice). When you do this move, it re-centers you and connects you to your power (and will help calm reactivity you may feel).In any situation, use the perspective of “How do I add value?” This will yield win-wins (as opposed to how do I get what I want).Use curiosity (ask questions) which will give you additional insight and also give you a little time to pause and re-center yourself if needed.And so much more!Connect with Brooke:

    The Gifts of Mindcluck with Lena Ehrenberg

    The Gifts of Mindcluck with Lena Ehrenberg

    Are you able to recognize the opportunities mindcluck offers?

    For a milestone birthday, life and weight coach, Lena Ehrenberg, booked a special hiking trip in France thinking this would be the perfect way to celebrate. Right off the bat, she was met with a huge challenge and found herself sobbing on a curb. Her mind was offering her serious mindcluck when some inner wisdom kicked in and gave her a choice she had to make in 10 seconds. Tune in to hear what happened! We talk about the power of recognizing mindcluck as a signal that there’s something to pay attention to, often something much deeper, that will ultimately lead to to opportunities for both personal growth and greater fulfillment. Join us and start using your mindcluck to empower yourself!

    What you’ll learn:
    You can think whatever you want. Read that sentence again!When you feel stuck, and mindcluck is holding you back, consider all of your options—there will always be many options.Manifesting is not believing in something and then waiting for it to come to you, manifesting is opening mind and watching for opportunities you can take action on to create the results you desire.Every time you push yourself, even if it’s only a tiny bit, if you can push through the mindcluck, you will reap the rewards of personal growth.Recognizing and then questioning your mindcluck gives you the opportunity to approach any situation in an empowering way.Mindcluck comes from the beliefs we have about ourselves. Mindcluck is just something you tell yourself. It is not fact. When you understand the belief (sometimes a deep-seated belief) behind the mindcluck, you have the ability to change it to one that serves you well.And so much more!Connect with Lena:

    Build Lasting Happiness with Rob Dubin

    Build Lasting Happiness with Rob Dubin

    Are you ready to foster lasting feelings of happiness?

    Join me for an inspiring conversation with Rob Dubin, an expert in happiness! Rob, his wife and some friends got caught in one of the worst blizzards in Colorado history and had been given up for dead—this was a major news story. They survived! They survived through their optimism and resilience. By focusing on solutions rather than focusing on the dangers, discomfort, etc., they kept their eyes on their number one goal…surviving! Rob and I talk about how to apply this perspective to the everyday kinds of challenges we all face to build both optimism and resilience. “The experience of our lives isn’t what happens to us, it’s how we think about what happens to us. Happy people think differently.” Finding meaning and purpose in your life in as many ways as possible will enhance your feelings of happiness. Join us and learn ways to focus your mind to foster lasting feelings of happiness.

    What you’ll learn:
    When faced with a challenge in life, recognize the problem, but devote most of your time to thinking about solutions.The more times you solve a problem in your life, the more your mind will know that you CAN solve whatever problem is before you. This cultivates both optimism and resilience.One kind of happiness is in the moment, so to feel happiness, you need to be present in the moment and absorb that happiness while it’s there. The more you do this, the happier you will feel.Do your best to suspend judgment of other people, which will help you get better at suspending judgment of yourself, and contribute to feeling happier.You can use curiosity to help you suspend judgment…instead of judging, engage in wonder…I wonder why… this opens your mind to other perspectives about other people and about yourself.Lasting happiness (eudaimonic happiness) comes from finding purpose and meaning in your life. There are many ways you can foster this lasting happiness in your day to day life!And so much more!Connect with Rob:
