Inquiring Minds with Donna Karlin & Steve Harper

This quote from Tony Robbins says so much. Is the goal the desired end result or is it how it helps us grow, be better, stronger, better informed so we can be more and do more? Join Steve and Donna in conversation about what goals really do in our life or what they can do to help us become more of who we are. #goals #growth #viewpoint #coaching #inquiringminds

Is our self talk helping move us closer to our dreams, success, growth? Or is it holding us back? Are you giving yourself permission to self-bash and limit what you even try to do just in case you might fail? Join Donna and Steve in conversation about how our thinking can be our worst enemy and how to turn that around. #negativity #coaching #selftalk #inquiringminds

Are you so focused on getting that promotion or bonus that it's all about you? What if your impact could make a huge difference in someone else's life, to your team, the planet as a whole? Join Donna and Steve in conversation about finding that WHY. Looking at what has meaning to you but to so many others as well. When we look beyond ourselves, the rewards that come back to us increase exponentially.

f you strive for perfection and are so focused on that end state, it takes all the joy and magic of realizing your dreams. You're so busy beating yourself up that it's not good enough that you can't enjoy the realization of having embarked on achieving that dream. What's standing in your way of going after your dream? Do you feel it might not measure up? That you won't measure up? Join Steve and Donna in conversation about perfection and how it's not that end state you should be striving for, but how it stands in the way of what you do want.

If you're going to be spending most of your waking hours at work, then why not on your dream? When you're doing what you love to do, want to do, and honor that which has the most meaning to you, it's not work at all. It truly is what we call, "Living the dream" Join Donna and Steve in conversation about what that looks like and how you can choose YOUR dream!

If it's someone else's fault, then we don't own our contribution to what happened or desire to change to make things better in some way. Join Steve and Donna in conversation about what happens when it's everyone else's fault and how we can turn it around.

We can rationalize what we did or change things for the better. We can strive for more and always measure ourselves against people and status or we can want less and be happier. We can compare ourselves against others or against who we were yesterday and stretch and grow today. Join Donna and Steve in conversation about how we think, what serves us and what doesn't.

Weekends are your charging stations. Do you disconnect from the chaos of the week so you can replenish? Join Steve and Donna in our conversation about what it means to disconnect and be at peace with not always "being on"

Do something you're already successful at and become masterful at it. Join Donna and Steve in conversation about how to achieve mastery, what to focus on and what NOT to focus on.
