Paradigm Shift with Christina Martini

In this episode, Christina Martini and Rhiannon Rees discuss:

• Rhiannon’s inspirational story from losing everything in a short period of time to a wildly successful coaching career.
• Getting out of your own way to find ways to help others. 
• The fundamental aspect of intuition in every aspect of our lives. 
• Energy, consciousness, and quantum physics. 

Key Takeaways:

• When you start to make bad decisions, that's when you need to stop and reassess.
• There’s no such thing as a problem - problems are illusions, we just don’t have the skillset to solve it yet. 
• We are emotional beings having a physical experience - words are only 7% of communication, the other 93% happens in tone, gestures, and breathing
• Absolutely everything is energy first and you can't destroy or create energy - energy is a constant.

"it's about finding what makes people tick and unlocking the shackles that bind them mentally and emotionally. And when you do, they can achieve anything." — Rhiannon Rees

In this episode, Christina Martini and Simone MIlasas discuss:

• Trusting in yourself and what you know. 
• Knowing where you are heading without allowing others to stop you. 
• How COVID has allowed us all to look at our lives and determine what we really want. 
• Creating what you can, notwithstanding outside limitations. 

Key Takeaways:

• What if the purpose of life was to have fun? What brings you joy today? 
• Judgment is not real and it never creates something greater. It only ever creates separation and creates something less than.
• You have to make the choice to change whatever it is in your life that you want to change. 
• Don’t play games and stop lying to yourself. Be free, even if it means you are not right. 

"The change that people realize they can have and be is so rewarding." — Simone Milasas

• Simone’s professional and personal journey to where she is today with Access Consciousness. 
• Deciphering your thoughts, feelings, and emotions from those that are not yours. 
• Searching for the questions, not the answers. 

Key Takeaways:

• If your life is not getting better and better, you get to change something. You get to choose something different. 
• You know so much more than what you have been willing to acknowledge.
• If you come out of judgment, what can you create? 
• When you go into question, then more can show up. 
• Choose what makes you happy and your life will be much easier. 

"The world has changed, and it's not going back to what it was. We get to create our future, and we get to create what this looks like." — Simone Milasas

In this episode, Christina Martini and Megan Belcher discuss:

• Investing in relationships with the C-Suite and the Board. 
• Navigating the disruption of COVID-19.
• Relationships with outside counsel.
• Making a difference now with the privilege you have.

Key Takeaways:

• It is critical to approach working through issues by looking at the lens that you know each of your individual humans will bring to the table.

• Think about how you can be reaching out to support and help others.

"Don't underestimate the potential place of privilege that you might come from, and think about how you can extend that privilege to others right now, during a pretty dynamic time for our country and really around the world." — Megan Belcher

"Trust, especially in the lawyer-client relationship, is essential. And, even more importantly, when you're in-house and looking to maximize your impact with the smallest amount of resources possible, it’s so critically important because that trust enables you to move with significantly more speed and to leverage your resources in the best way possible." — Megan Belcher

In this episode, Christina Martini and Debbie Vyskocil discuss:

• The impact of personal stress on your team. 
• Moving past the stigma of asking for help. 
• High-performance coaching of the brain. 
• Scheduling self-care or tying it to something that is already a habit. 

Key Takeaways:

• It’s a matter of being happy and better, not just being fine. Asking for help to get there is going to make things so much better.
• Resiliency is one of the greatest strengths that a person can have. 
• The way we talk to ourselves is incredibly important. You would never talk to a family member or business partner in the same way you talk to yourself. 
• Finding the tools that work best for you and turning those into habits will help get your brain to an optimal place and be able to bounce back to that place when things get stressful.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Debbie Vyskocil discuss:

• How to help heal ourselves with our minds. 
• What biofeedback is and how the data collected enables you to take your performance to your highest level. 
• Debbie’s switch from engineering to coaching with an expertise that is based in neuroscience. 
• Stress and resilience and our relationship with sleep. 

Key Takeaways:

• It is about repetitive learning, the more you fire what you want to, your brain will start to hardwire itself that way. 
• A high performing brain is about a brain that is balanced. You have control. 
• Having your head in the right space is key in everyday life as well as in high stress situations. 
• Sleep is critical for your well being in every aspect of your life. 7-9 hours of sleep for an adult is key to function. 

"Our brain cleans all the extra gunk out of it during the night. All those extra residual things that are happening in our brain that we don't need are cleaned out at night. We need to be able to have that sleep time just to be able to get rid of that." — Debbie Vyskocil

In this episode, Christina Martini and Simon Townsend discuss:

• Security issues that working from home presents to organizations. 
• Security tips for work from home users. 
• Developing a home setup for the best work environment for long term sustainability. 
• Disaster recovery and what that looks like for the future. 

Key Takeaways:

• Ransomware has not gone away and, in 2020, there is an increase in ransomware in part due to the vulnerability of an individual working away from the unsecured networks of an office environment. 
• Make sure you are running the latest, most recently updated version of the technology products you are using. 
• Having one day that is a no video conference call day will make your teams more productive and focused during that time. 
• We don’t know yet how quickly we will be returning to work, whether we will be returning to work, or what will be coming in the future with the pandemic. With the uncertainty, a mobile work strategy is required. 

"This pandemic is going to teach us is that people do not need to go to work to get work done. And going to work, while will have some benefits, the office that you go to might just be one of the places in the future that you go to get your work done. Any solution from this point forward should really look at how it can accommodate mobile working and deliver the best security, the best performance, and the best way of allowing our employees to continue to be productive regardless of where they are." — Simon Townsend

• How Simon combined his degrees in Technology and Marketing to great success.
• How technology is driving business growth. 
• The effect of COVID-19 on working from home and the future of the working environment. 
• Home working and workforce culture. 

Key Takeaways:

• In many parts of the world, there has to be a mindset shift to moving to a work at home model. 
• As work at home has moved from a very temporary measure, there is a shift to a more long-term work from home strategy as the current situation continues and thoughts to future situations arise.
• Creativity is different in person than it is on a Zoom or other video call. 
• Find ways to give the person you are talking to all of your attention rather than sitting in front of your emails and monitors. 

"Don’t feel that because you are working from home that everything has to be done in front of a laptop or a PC and on a Zoom call. There are still other ways in which we can communicate." — Simon Townsend

• Crisis provides an opportunity to shine, to make changes, to make better, and to show good leadership skills.
