The MINDset Game® Podcast Vered Kogan

Many organizations today have workforces that include up to four generations: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. With each generation tending to have different values and motivations (as well as stereotypes about members of the other generations), organizations may struggle to keep employees of all ages engaged. In particular, many employers are seeking strategies for how to attract, retain, and lead Millennials and members of Gen Z.
As an organizational consultant, trainer, and Millennial influencer, as well as the best-selling author of “101 Secrets for Your Twenties,” “101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties,” and “25 Lies Twenty Somethings Need to Stop Believing,” Paul Angone is an expert in helping companies attract, retain, develop and harness the best strengths of the Millennial and Gen Z generations. He is also the host of the All Groan Up podcast, and has been featured in many publications such as Bloomberg, Business Insider, and Huffington Post. In Episode 150 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Paul discusses the following:
The concept of emerging adulthood, and how younger employees reaching traditional milestones (such as getting married, buying a house, and having kids) later in life can affect their career choices How the need to feel significant is a major motivating factor for Gen Z and Millennial employees, and simple techniques that managers and leaders can use to help younger workers feel that they are part of something important Tips for 20-somethings seeking to lay the foundation for a successful career How consistency and authenticity can help organizations not only hire, retain, and engage younger employees, but also attract Millennials and Gen Z as customers To learn more about Paul, visit http://paulangone.com.

When faced with a challenge or decision, are you more likely to take time to think it over thoroughly, consider how you feel about the situation, or take action as soon as possible based on your gut instincts? According to Enneagram philosophy, these options represent our three centers of intelligence: thinking, feeling, and action. While we each have a dominant center, the three are complementary – and understanding how each center operates in your life can help you achieve a greater sense of balance and clarity. 
As a highly sought-after facilitator, speaker, management development coach, and Enneagram specialist, Michelle Bennetts has trained over 1,500 professionals globally in the Enneagram. With 20 years of experience in training and facilitation, Michelle coaches teams, leaders, and executives on how to lead themselves, others, and ultimately, the business to success. As our guest in Episode 149 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Michelle discusses the following:
Techniques for identifying your dominant center of intelligence and understanding when it may or may not be serving you Why it’s also important to identify the center you use the least, and to strengthen it in order to bring the three centers into balance How tapping into your intuition can help when your three centers are sending you conflicting messages Pitfalls that both individuals and organizations may encounter when they rely too heavily on one center – and how they can achieve better results by balancing out the three centers To learn more about Michelle and her work, visit https://www.skillsetcoach.com, find her on LinkedIn, or email her at michelle@skillset.co.za.

Have you ever found yourself pursuing a career path or business that seemed “comfortable,” but you began to feel like it wasn’t the best fit for you? If so, you’ve probably realized that the process of finding and fulfilling your true calling involves several key steps – many of which are related to your own belief system.
After enrolling in pharmacy school at his parents’ urging, Harvey Goldberg soon felt that it wasn’t the path he was supposed to be on in life. Although he persevered and graduated, a transformative week spent with his uncle inspired him to think more critically about what kind of lifestyle he wanted to lead. His uncle’s guidance – in conjunction with books Harvey read, such as “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill – set him on the path to the successful career he has enjoyed since. 
With more than 30 years of experience in company ownership and management and over 5,000 hours of direct coaching of CEOs and business owners, Harvey’s life work and passion is helping business owners grow and maximize both their business and personal potential. In Episode 148 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Harvey discusses the following:
How the people around you can either serve as engines or anchors, and why sometimes — although difficult — it may be necessary to avoid the anchors who may interfere with your own inner guidance system The importance of staying open to new ideas, beliefs, and the possibilities that may be available to you  How examining your beliefs (some of which may be based in fear) can help you overcome self-interference as you pursue your higher calling Why it’s crucial to approach all feedback – including failure – in a non-judgmental way To learn more about Harvey, visit his website at https://masteringtriggers.com.

By definition, innovation requires a departure from the way things have traditionally been done. However, due to factors such as fear of the unknown and social pressures, many leaders and organizations tend to rely on known solutions without even considering other options. This can lead to stagnation, which may be devastating for companies in a rapidly changing world. 
Kaihan Krippendorff, our guest in Episode 147 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, urges leaders to explore the “fourth option.” He defines this concept by explaining that our brains have a tendency to sort things into groups of three – for instance, we may consider three different solutions and then stop looking, because three seems like a complete number. The fourth option represents the innovative ideas (which may seem bold or even crazy at first) that lie beyond the point at which most people have stopped thinking. 
As an internationally renowned thought leader, consultant, and sought-after keynote speaker on the topics of strategy, growth, and transformation, Kaihan has been recognized by Thinkers50 and ranked by global gurus as among the top 20 management professionals of 2023. With a unique ability to transform difficult concepts into easy-to-understand ideas and practical tools, Kaihan is also the best-selling author of five books and a two-time TEDx speaker whose work has generated over $2.5 billion in annual revenue for many of the world's most recognizable companies. In this week’s episode, Kaihan shares the following:
A helpful acronym that represents the 5 different conversations you need to have in order to find the fourth option: IDEAS, which stands for imagine, dissect, expand, analyze, and sell Simple shifts of mindset and language that leaders and their teams may find helpful when trying to explore new ideas and open the door for innovation An alternative framework using the elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth that can help explain the cycle of innovation and change  To learn more about Kaihan, visit his speaker website at https://kaihan.net or his company site at https://outthinker.com, or connect with him on LinkedIn.

Throughout life, we all face challenges and setbacks – some of which may seem devastating. However, one of the most important factors determining whether these challenges will “make or break” you is your attitude. While it can be difficult to stay positive at all times, there are several steps you can take on a daily basis to rebuild your attitude and approach life’s challenges with clarity and strength. 
Boaz Rauchwerger, our guest in Episode 146 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, first learned about the importance of attitude from his mother. Despite tragically losing her parents and four of her siblings in the Holocaust, Boaz’s mom managed to maintain a positive attitude throughout her life. Drawing inspiration from her lessons and from his own experiences, Boaz has had a successful career as a consultant, author, and keynote speaker, including 20 years as a speaker with Vistage Worldwide. In this week’s episode, Boaz shares several insights about how to achieve happiness and success through building a positive attitude, including:
The value of reading, and two classic books Boaz recommends that everyone read at least three times: “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, and “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill Several specific affirmations to repeat at the beginning and end of each day, such as “everything I touch prospers and succeeds” and “I make amazing things happen daily.” The concept of “goal cards” as a way to change habits and achieve your goals
Techniques for handling negative emotions that may compromise your attitude and take you further from your goals To connect with Boaz, he invites listeners to call or text him at (619) 723-3007. He also offers a complimentary session for his consulting services, through which he helps organizations change employees’ attitudes and thereby raise the culture of the whole company.

Have you ever set a goal that would require you to adopt new behaviors or patterns, and despite knowing the steps you would need to take in order to achieve your goal, you found it difficult to implement the necessary changes? Whether in our personal or professional lives, most of us have struggled with change at some point. This is because change can feel threatening, even when it’s something we truly want. Therefore, to successfully adapt to change and achieve our desired results, it’s important to address both the physiological and emotional components that may cause us to resist change. 
As the founder and president of the Academies for Coaching, Inc. – an organization with a mission of “Changing Minds, for Good” – Susan Britton is passionate about how brain-body biology can bring insight to the invisible forces that thwart change. In training thousands of leadership and career coaches on six continents over the past 20 years, Susan and her team show how a brain-friendly approach can drive engagement, creativity, and productivity in leaders and their teams. As our guest in Episode 145 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Susan discusses the following:
Why successfully implementing change involves both our neural chemistry (including dopamine, cortisol, etc.) and our circuitry, which refers to the neural networks that began forming in early childhood and may continue to influence our beliefs and behavior How finding ways to make change fun or even playful can help us – and by extension, those around us – become more comfortable with the process How embracing the “3 C’s” – compassion, curiosity, and creation – can be helpful in overcoming resistance to change  To learn more about Susan and her neuroscience-based coaching programs, visit https://www.theacademies.com.
