Growth Minded

I share some really good reads for 2023! 

Second skilling, also referred to as a "talent stack approach," is a strategy that that can be used to build career resilience. In this approach, there is an emphasis on having broad competencies that combine to create a formidable skillset. I explain the talent stack approach and how you can apply it in your own life. 

In this episode I highlight my findings on happiness, relationships, and love from The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim.

In this episode I give thanks for a few things in my life including relationships, basketball, upcoming plans, boys nights and learning new things!

In this episode I speak through key learnings like the negativity bias, the dynamic between actions and emotions, and practices you can take to help improve your emotions. 

Tyler Gerckens has been one of my closest friends since middle school. He's also one of the most positive and hard-working people that I know. I had him on the latest episode of Growth Minded to learn what drives him, what brings him happiness, and what social causes he cares about.

I share some takeaways from Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." I also speak on what I'm grateful for and things I'm looking forward to. For your own growth I challenge you to: Think of 5 moments from last year that build up your spirit & Write down 1 funny moment that would make it into your stand up routine

What if I told you that four year old's who could hold off eating marshmallows for a few minutes were found to have better academic performance at school, better social lives, and were better equipped to cope with important life problems when researchers tracked original participants down years later in high school?   This is a profound finding indicating that willpower is a critical habit for individual and organizational success. Without this habit, individuals risk setbacks with their academics, social lives, physical health and finances. Additionally, schools and organizations risk setting up students/employees for failure if they are not equipped with self-discipline to perform under high-stress environments.

In this episode I'll be speaking on some of the implications of immediate gratification in our society. We may be losing the ability to delay gratification because we are constantly stimulated and have the ability to receive immediate gratification now more than any other time in history. The implications affect our finances, health, and safety.

We'll be looking at learning strategies including the pomodoro technique, mental contrasting, mind mapping and recall. 

This is a throwback video from 2020...enjoy!
