If you study anyone who has been successful in their career or life you will find that they have a growth mindset.  A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and situations can be improved by persistency, dedication and hard work.  A healthy growth mindset starts with understanding of the current situation, a vision of where you want to grow and then taking the actions to get there.  In this podcast I talk about 4 steps to get you there.

1. Take a Snapshot of where you are and take a Snapshot of where you want to be/
2. See what you NOTICE from those snapshots, the positive and negative.
3. HARVEST the most valuable pieces and lessons from those snapshots.
4. Be THANKFUL for the each day you have to notice and harvest.

In this episode, I share my perspective on leadership lessons that are inside the book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
The Alchemist offers lessons on making decisions, finding role models and having a dialogue.  Leadership is also about decisions, role models and dialogue.  Your leadership journey is packed with opportunities, you just have to have the right mindset and leading for the right reasons.  When you can do those things, ".....the universe with conspire to help you"

In this episode I interview my friend and colleague Kelvin Redd.  Kelvin holds a master certification in Emergenetics.  Emergenetics is a psychometric tool that identifies your thinking and behavioral preferences.  Why is that important to know?  Well I'm glad you asked.  Understanding how you think and process information as well as behave in most situations gives you great insight on how you are perceived by the people you lead and interact with on a daily basis.  The more you know about yourself the better you can see and understand others.  This is a great invitation to building great relationships.  I hope you find value in this episode.
