  • Thanksgiving: A New Way of Life & How to Give Appreciation
    In honor of Thanksgiving, let’s cultivate appreciation and train our brains to look for good in others, situations and ourselves.
    Do you feel awkward in praising people? You're not alone! Once we see the strengths of others, we can tell them genuinely using the formula: “you are (positive quality), for example (specific moment).” This phrase ensures we highlight who they are as a person instead of just what they do, and we use evidence to demonstrate our sincerity.
    This method is also useful in interviews and performance reviews. When we consider our own abilities by saying “I am” and remind ourselves “for example” of specific achievements, we genuinely build our confidence and articulate value.

  • Be confident of your value: how to let go of criticism
    One of my favorite analogies to remind us that we are priceless is money. If someone disrespects a $20 bill, compares it negatively to other currency, even rips it, it still is worth $20. Likewise, if someone criticizes us, compares us or hurts us, we are still valuable.
    Here’s a video from the “good old days” of a live keynote from a corporate event so you can feel the energy of this awesome audience and get inspired.

  • Soul Searching with CEO Joe Hart: Strategies for a successful business, family and mindset
    Soul Searching with CEO Joe Hart: Strategies for a successful business, family and mindset
    Our guest this week, CEO of Dale Carnegie, shares how his mentor (Ford and Boeing CEO) Alan Mulally’s Working Together framework can transform business. “The cornerstone is live to serve. Listen, appreciate, be transparent, have integrity, hold people accountable and create a safe space and you’ll deliver results. The CEO sets the tone.” (5)
    When I shared I battled imposter syndrome approaching the CEO, worried he’d decline being a guest on this show he said, “It didn’t dawn on me. These things we create in our minds, we can be our worst enemy.” We discussed the importance of mindset, “almost the only problem we have to deal with is choosing the right thoughts.” (12:58)
    How does he instill confidence in his 6 kids? “My job is to help you make good decisions for yourself, take command of your thoughts” and he gives a lot of praise, 1:1 time and love.
    On soul searching during this pandemic he now “looks with proper perspective to remind myself of the tough things I’ve been through before. I’m not afraid, I was born to do this.”
    His practical wisdom: “Believe in yourself” and his mantra when running marathons “Dig deep.”
