Are there relationships in your life right now that you would like to improve?

There are so many types of relationships we want to nurture in our lives: spouses, children, friends, colleagues, clients. Each requires their own nuanced approach.

Nonetheless, in human interactions, there are common principles that are going to help you make friends and influence people.

In this episode you'll learn two simple yet powerful rules that will help you enjoy deeper relationships in life and business.

There is a persistent and damaging myth that love is something that happens passively. That love is "meant to be" and that everyone lives "happily ever after". Romance is something we need to actively work on and consciously design. With this in mind, I would like to share with you five concepts I have learned in my relationship that will help you be a better partner to your romantic interest.

We are all searching for Love, it is a universal human pursuit. We are looking for a life we love, and someone we love to share it with.

However, in our society just now, we are struggling with Love. Divorce rates are at 50%, there is too much intolerance for people from a different culture, who express their sexuality differently, or have a different political opinion.

On the individual level, I think we need to step up and open ourselves up to being more loving. Only then can we begin to shift the consciousness of society. I believe there are three common barriers that are holding us back from fully expressing our love.

In this video you will learn about three barriers to living a more loving life. When you understand these blocks, you can break through them to find a richer, more vibrant life.

Your ability to succeed in life will be determined not by what you are able to achieve when everything is going for you, but what you are able to achieve when everything is not going for you.

Motivation is what drives our behaviour, but sometimes we don't feel motivated. If you are able to generate motivation even in times of challenge, you can excel in your life.

What is important to understand is that your motivation comes from within you. You cannot be "given" motivation, it is something you generate within you.

In this episode you will learn three strategies that you can use to generate this motivation.

The Fixed Mindset is the belief that we are stuck with what we are born with. Our skills, attributes and personality will never change. As a result individuals with the fixed mindset will not challenge themselves as failure is a reminder that they are not "good enough".

The Growth Mindset on the other hand is the recognition that our skills, attributes, and personality can be changed and improved. Individuals with the Growth Mindset, therefore, thrive under challenge, because they know it will help them to learn and grow.

In this episode, you will learn three important areas of your life where you can shift your mindset, and questions you can ask to stimulate your growth.

Do you have those days where you feel you're behind before you've even started?

Something in the morning happens that upsets you for the entire day.

What can you do to get your day back on track?

Alternatively, how can you elevate your state for an important encounter in a competition, presentation or interaction?

In this episode, you will learn three powerful strategies that you can use to change your physiology and psychology in two minutes or less.
