This program focuses on the reality of bounce back and that it takes planning, patience, practice and productivity. Each of these skills take attention and time to develop. You will hear what makes up each skill and resources to strengthening them. Planning is under rated. The time it takes to handle unexpected situations was done up front, so there is less to do in a pinch. Patience has so many facets, we start with self first. Practice is how we refine our skills - regardless of our industry and role. Productivity is the impact of our action.

Starting the conversation...

• Bounce back sounds like it is something fast, and it can be with the right skills.
• Bounce back is not easy. It is not instantaneous. It takes work. Work takes effort. It takes support. Support takes a network. It takes learning. Learning is lifelong.

These days, there's a mindset for everything…success, millionaire, money, influence, love, life, global, growth, learning, discipline…even I put mindset in front of creativity for the work I do. Think about how many kids books there are about overcoming obstacles, being ok with who we are and what we look like, what it takes to be active in our society. The last self help or personal development book you read most likely contained a variation of one of the themes in kids books. We spend immense amounts of energy throughout our lives to protect what we believe. Is that the most energy effective? Mindset Matters explores this question.

Starting the conversation...

• We spend immense amounts of energy throughout our lives to protect what we believe.
• There seems to be a mindset for everything.

Host: Jessica Dewell

What You Will Hear:

Toothpaste and habits that close us off to new ideas.

Open and closed mindset.

The language we use shapes what we think.

Safety and the way we think - what we dig our heels in about.

Praise and the persona we accept. Self sabotage to keep that story.

What our identity is tied to.

Do more with less. What's out of our control and how we adapt.

Adaptability matters.

4 types of mindset outlined by Carol Dweck in her book Mindset.

What do you do to grow and stay open?

Questioning and pushing past what's normal.

Know what makes us defensive.

See a reaction and choose to move forward or to make a change.

How we work may change, yet projects still take time to complete (it's not instantaneous).

Set our own expectation of how work happens.

Know there is a problem, and start there (the steps are the same regardless of mindset).

Steps to problem solving stay the same in every situation.

Observe and notice what's happening around us.

Let go of what isn't part of who we are anymore.

Evaluate what we choose to do and who we choose to be around.

Skills: emotion management, problem solving, willingness, observation, confidence, courage, planning

Notable & Quotable

Jessica Dewell: Unless we open up, we won't grow.

Jessica Dewell: As a leader we have a responsibility to understand the mindsets of those around us.

Jessica Dewell: What are you going to do about [that are out of our control]?

Jessica Dewell: Resistance may be coming from those around us, not from within us.

Jessica Dewell: To make it as easy as possible for customers means a lot of work behind the scenes.

Jessica Dewell: It's more fun to share books and authors that I know and have read that impact me.

Jessica Dewell: If we allow ourself to be defined by others, we are limiting ourself.

Jessica Dewell: Be willing to get uncomfortable.

Jessica Dewell: Start [building skills] with small things - day to day activities.

The WORST thing for us, as leaders, is when the way we think limits our achievement. Self talk gets in the way…of everything. Productivity, growth and overall effectiveness decrease. Rejuvenation in this discussion is not self-care. Rejuvenation is the ability to look at the past, choose what's useful and what lessons can be leverages and charge forward. Find out how connected the way we think and the way we use past experience can be holding us back.

Starting the conversation...

• We're trying to figure it out, and when we don't rejuvenate everyone around is affected.
• Define rejuvenation and growth.

What You Will Hear:

Being grounded in our workspace.

Working meaning of rejuvenate for our conversation.

Move through experiences and use the best things.

Definition of Rejuvenation: use experience (good and bad) to move forward.

Seasons rejuvenate the earth.

What we do today is based on our brain power, which is ageless.

By being able to figure things out we can accomplish a lot.

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right." Henry Ford

4 Things that have value, and use for the future.

How we use experience to make better decisions.

Define Useful and how usefulness and motivation interrelate.

Unwritten agreements about how work gets done.

Capabilities and happiness and fulfillment.

When we don't get to choose who we work with...and we are all on the same team.

Build relationships - a necessary skill.

Clean thinking and keep learning.

Archilochus: "We don't rise to the level of our expectations we fall to the level of our training."

Help others (solve their problems, and guiding them to solve their own).

There is more than one way to figure things out.

4 Steps to solve a problem.

Business and personal growth - we define it, starting with freedom.
