  • 32: How Meditation Re-Wired My Brain + 5 Tips for Making the Habit Stick

    Meditation has re-wired my brain. I don’t walk on clouds every day, but I do feel like a new person three years in to maintaining a daily practice (and 120 days in to a consecutive streak). I know, I know. One shouldn’t promote meditation as a miracle cure. But if you have an active mind, one that veers toward anxiety and stress like me, take a listen to this week’s Pivot Podcast.

  • 31: Illuminate - How to Lead a Movement with Nancy Duarte

    What are the key ingredients to leading a movement? How do you motivate fellow travelers to traverse the change process, within themselves and within your organization or community, even when all they want to do is quit? What happens when you hit a natural plateau in the growth cycle? These are the topics I explore in today’s show with Nancy Duarte, master of systems thinking, speech writing, and the subject of her latest book, Illuminate: How to Ignite Change Through Speeches, Stories, Ceremonies, and Symbols.

  • 31: Illuminate: How to Lead a Movement with Nancy Duarte
    “The future is a formless void, a blank space waiting to be filled. And
    then a Torchbearer envisions a new possibility. Some say being a
    torchbearer is a burden. Some say it’s a blessing. Either way, those who
    light the path are the ones who change the world.” —Nancy Duarte and Patti
    Sanchez, Torchbearer’s Calling in Illuminate

Although we often laugh them away today (if we remember them at all), many ancient and tribal cultures treated the dream world as absolutely real and worthy of our respect, an extension of the waking world. As Penney Peirce writes in Be the Dreamer, Not the Dream: A Guide to 24-Hour Consciousness (previously published as Dreams for Dummies), “Everything we do in the dream world is real; it’s just happening at other dimensions of our awareness.”

  • 29: Deep Work: Ditch Cognitive Junk Food with Cal Newport

    When was the last time you were in the zone?There’s nothing I love more than working with time flying. The sun rises and sets and I barely notice because I’m so engrossed in my work. Cal Newport calls this deep work, and says that contrary to what many assume, it is a skill, not a habit. That means it takes deliberate practice, and is a cognitive muscle that can atrophy with disuse—something we are all prone to as we get sucked into network tools like social media and email. I loved this conversation and I know you will too! Enjoy
