In all the workshops and consultations I teach, the #1 question I get is some version of "how do I get myself to do the things I know I should be doing?"  So often we "know" what's good for us, but struggle to make it happen.  In this week's solo episode I share why "should-ing" happens, why it sabotages our success, and the tools and tricks you need to snap out of it and actually make progress!

Dwayne Thomas is a member of the NY State Bar association, graduating from Brooklyn Law and holds a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.  He's also a writer, with a regular column at Psychology Today, in addition to his public speaking.  His Master's thesis focused on improving the pass/fail rate of law students who "should" pass the exam, but aren't able to - specifically black men.  

As we discuss in this episode, the stories we tell ourselves about the potential to succeed have a significant impact on performance.  Those beliefs are seeded by our environment, and there are lessons far beyond a single test or a single population.
