If you have any interaction with people then today’s episode is for you!!  We’re talking about the art of leadership and communication. This is an insightful conversation on purpose, values, initiative, and cultivating the leader within. You’ll hear tips on how to tackle objections and embrace ambiguity as a leader. We also talk about the power of honesty, transparency, and adaptability in leadership, drawing examples from parenting and business giants like Apple.

We address the common challenges leaders face, such as imposter syndrome and the lack of proper training, and we use the cautionary tale of BlackBerry to illustrate the pitfalls of blindly following others without understanding your own purpose. We explore the Japanese concept of ikigai, which can help you align your skills, passions, and the world's needs to find true fulfillment in your work.

Remember, leadership is about stepping up, taking initiative, and embodying leadership traits in every aspect of your life. It starts with leading yourself and having a purpose-driven approach. Focus on becoming someone worthy of being followed, and success will follow.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly drowning in tasks but not making real progress? Well, today’s episode is for you. I'll be sharing a powerful process to fast-track your success and help you achieve your goals. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a commissioned salesperson, or just someone striving for personal growth, this episode will offer insights on eliminating unproductive busy work, staying focused on your vision, and building momentum. So, if you or anyone you know is feeling perpetually exhausted but unfulfilled, stay tuned—this episode is a game changer.

Two-step process to boosting belief and confidence
 
Belief comes from confidence, which stems from clarity, which comes through action. Two of the best ways to silence your inner critic and boost your belief are: 

1.) Realize that your subconscious acts on the dominant thought and it makes absolutely NO distinction between what’s real and what’s imagined. It translates thought into reality, regardless of whether that thought is driven by fear or courage. Pay attention to those dominant thoughts. If they’re not serving you, either release them or rewrite them. Success happens from the inside out. Get honest with yourself, what are your actions telling you? Are you busy for the sake of being busy? How important are your goals? Change the thought. If it helps to have a visual then identify the thought, give it a name. Write it on a piece of paper and thank it for what it has shown you then let it go. 

2.) Second, you have to begin taking action on your idea. It may be baby steps at first. You may offer a free workshop or give away a free product or service. That’s ok. It gives you proof of concept, not just proof for the person you are serving that your product/ service is great, but proof of concept for you which will boost your confidence. 

You’ve got this! Identify the dominant thought getting in your way. Release it and replace it with an empowering thought. Then get into ACTION!!!

Timestamps

04:09 Overcome fear, take action, prioritize, maintain structure.

09:33 Challenge negative thoughts; seek successful examples.

11:19 Visualizing thoughts to overcome obstacles in mindset.

14:29 Practice your passion, visualize success, take action.

18:01 Align with goals, take action, achieve success.

Hello!  In today's episode, we're diving into the power of motivation and the incredible feats we can achieve when we have a strong enough reason to push ourselves beyond our perceived limits.

I share an inspiring story about the Chicago Marathon and the powerful lesson it taught me about my mind.

When we have a purpose that we're deeply connected to, we can achieve incredible things - even beyond what we thought was possible. 

Key Points

- Self-doubt is the single most common reason why people don't go after their dreams. But when your desire is strong enough, it can silence that self-doubt and propel you forward. 💪

- If you want to see confidence and self-belief grow in real-time, set a challenging goal (like running a marathon) and commit to it fully. With every action you take, your belief in what's possible will grow. 🌱

- You are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for. Figure out what your motive is, and use it to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. 🎯

The fact is we are all capable of far more than we give ourselves credit for. 💥

If you're ready to ignite your inner fire and start closing the gap between your current reality and your desired future, then this is the episode for you. Get ready to be inspired, motivated, and pushed to take action toward your goals. Let's dive in!


Timestamps

00:00 Movement helps solve problems; take action now.

05:11 People often settle, not pursuing true desires.

07:07 Balancing desires and purpose for success.

10:03 Photograph, undress, support, and motivate marathon runner.

13:10 Powerful energy shift

On today’s episode, I sit down with Wellness Engineer and Certified Functional Medicine Coach Jane Hogan, who reversed her crippling disease through natural solutions.

Jane shares her incredible story of how she developed widespread pain and inflammation following a stressful period in her life. She talks about how she initially tried to address her symptoms through dietary changes, which did provide some relief. However, she eventually realized that she needed to do some deep inner work to truly heal, addressing trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and behavioral adaptations.

Throughout our conversation, we dive into the interconnectedness of physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and nervous system responses. We discuss the importance of shifting from a victim mentality and focusing on healing oneself through self-respect, love, and gratitude.

Jane also shares some fascinating insights about the mechanistic view of health in our society and advocates for a shift in conversations about emotions and their impact on chronic health issues. We talk about the need to create an environment for healing and shift our attention to how we're showing up for ourselves emotionally.

This is an enlightening and quite possibly life-changing conversation, I’m sure you’ll find quite valuable.

You can’t do it or you won’t do it?  What exactly are you telling yourself? 

Your word choice has a tremendous impact on your psyche and reality.

Research shows that our word choice affects us on a deep psychological level, and plays a significant role in the outcome of our lives.

Scientists studying the power of words and their effect on the human mind have proven that negative words release stress and anxiety-inducing hormones in the human body.  And they don’t have to be spoken aloud to cause distress. 

According to Dr. Andrew Newberg and Mark Waldman, authors of Words Can Change Your Brain: “By holding a positive and optimistic [word] in your mind, you stimulate frontal lobe activity. This area includes specific language centers that connect directly to the motor cortex responsible for moving you into action. And as our research has shown, the longer you concentrate on positive words, the more you begin to affect other areas of the brain.”

Using consistent positive thoughts and words changes our self-perception, ultimately, giving us the ability the shape our reality and change the world for the better.

What words are running through your mind?

>> Head over to the blog for the complete article AND a powerful three-step process that will help you choose your words wisely, show up for yourself as the leader you are, take committed action, and go after your dreams: 

https://kimkelleythompson.squarespace.com/blog/the-neuroscience-behind-your-words

Your words have tremendous power they’ve been running like a script in the back of your mind for years, so let’s use the words that lift you, and empower you to step into the version of yourself that is fully capable of achieving great things and realizing your dreams.

We all have a story. One we tell ourselves about our past, it may be true, or it may have been embellished a bit over the years, becoming more emotionally charged each time we talk about it, especially if things are happening in our lives that we don’t like and we link those to a memory. 

For example, If you’ve always considered yourself as someone who has a hard time making friends, you may attribute that to the fact that you moved a lot when you were younger. Your sibling, however, easily makes friends and believes this is because the family moved frequently. Same experience, same memory, but different beliefs about that memory that now shape the identity. Why?

Psychologists say that our brains have a selective filtering system, called priming. When the brain is primed by a certain belief, it shuts down information that contradicts that belief, so you experience what you believe to be true. It’s up to you to make a conscious choice to change the beliefs that don’t serve you.

Are there things constantly showing up or happening in your life that you don’t like? You can change those beliefs and patterns that are contributing to the reality you're living by creating a different STORY for yourself through your imagination.  

In other words, you’re going to create a memory of a future that you want.

If our memories are so powerful that we can form a belief associated with that memory that has shaped our identity and now our behavior, and likewise our results, how powerful will it be to create a memory of a future you want?

Science has proven that stories can sync our brains with listeners, building trust and connection. This is powerful! If we are both the storyteller and the listener, telling ourselves our story of the future we intend to live as if we are living it, over and over, boosts our belief that it is a reality we will experience. 

All change happens from the inside out. First, the thought, then the feeling, then the belief, then the decision, then action, and finally reality.  So to create a memory of a future you want, you create a story about your future.

Start by creating an image of your future self. 

Who is that person? What is she like? 

Does she have a successful business?  What does that mean? How do you show up for yourself,, and others? 

Are you the top salesperson? What does that feel like? What choices do you make?

Next - take action! I want you to be so prepared that if your ship came in tomorrow, you’d be ready to jump aboard.

If you have an idea for a business, can you easily describe it to me clearly, so I understand and see your vision?  If I said to you, I have a friend looking to invest in someone’s new business, would you be ready to take that meeting? Get prepared!

If you have a book you’ve been wanting to write, and you meet a publisher, are you ready to show your work?  Or is that book still sitting in your head? 

Can you prove to yourself that you believe in yourself by taking action?

Faith is always rewarded but it requires action. Your ship is coming in, are you ready to board?
