“You don’t wake up and say you’re going to be brave today. You stumble upon it, and it’s the continual showing up, it’s the continual ability to look at the fear and not deny the reality, but to defy the reality. Be optimistic, make it grounded, and the tools are all here for us to use.” - Andrea Goeglein

Often there’s a force holding us back in our lives and in our workplace, and it’s a lot closer to use than we think. Today’s expert guest is here to talk about the role that self-deception plays in holding us back, and the practical ways that we can start overcoming it in order to reach for the success that we each desire, and deserve.

Andrea Goeglein is part applied positive psychologist, part entrepreneur, and all about success—your success.

She understands both the pressures you face and the dreams that inspire you.

Andrea merges her experience as a business owner with her training in Positive Psychology to provide effective, efficient and challenging personal development experiences. She combines an emphasis on objective assessment with an approach that is always powered by your spirit and guided by your goals. Her professional development offerings are based in theory and backed by direct business knowledge.

She views success as a way of being, organic and ever-evolving. It is the part of your nature that must be nurtured. In other words, success is more than achieving financial wealth and business results. It’s also about self-awareness, self-acceptance and love of self.

In this episode you’ll hear Andrea’s own inspiring personal journey, and the powerful reframes she has used and continues to teach her clients to achieve success in their own lives.
