The Venture Life with Riley McGhee

#8 How to handle change with Burt Giges


Listen Later

Burt Giges is a bit of legend in the field of sport psychology. Nicknamed the "Yoda" of the field, Burt has studied how people change for over 50 years. Aside from his professional expertise, he has a wealth of personal experience, having traversed three distinct careers in his life time. As a physician & medical researcher, a psychiatrist, and then finally as a sport psych practitioner, Burt has made countless personal and career decisions that have lead to an astonishingly successful and inspirational life-long journey.


After receiving his MD in 1948 from NYU College of Medicine (and graduating first in his class) Burt was later elected as the President of the Honor Medical Society chapter. He's also a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) and a Past-President of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP).

In this episode you'll learn about the importance of curiosity, openness, self-awareness, and self-acceptance as well as what to do when you feel like you aren't making any progress.
