The Change Mastery Show with John J. Murphy and Dr. Pat® episodes

  • How to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty
    Let’s face it. The world is full of uncertainty. Every minute of every day serves as an opportunity for growth or decline. Growth requires wisdom, courage, and a commitment to proactive action. You must think like a champion and learn something positive from every mistake you make. Decline is easy. Do nothing. Freeze. Play the blame game. Think like a victim.
    In this episode, John will share insights on how to face uncertainty and adversity with the mind of a champion. This includes strategies on how to deal with the threat of job loss, the rapid advancement of AI, or working in a culture of insecurity. What is one to do – or think – when the boss is more interested in end results than the means to get there? What can one do when the leadership team makes authoritative decisions without input from the people who must live with them? How can a person influence change in this kind of atmosphere?
    You will discover:
    • Why “Playing the Blame Game” never works. How does blaming someone who is at fault hurt the person doing the blaming?
    • How to challenge the negative “What if’s” running through your mind. How do fear and doubt get in the way of real progress? What are some strategies for seeing things differently? How can a person build more confidence?
    • What can a leader do to integrate “getting results” with an emphasis on the means to get them? How does one cultivate “Procedural Justice” into an organizational culture and why is this important?
    • What can an induvial do if they are working in a culture without procedural justice? What are some strategies for influencing change when you have no authority? How can a person boost their credibility?

  • The Opposite Direction
    E.F. Schumacher once wrote “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to go in the opposite direction.”
    In this episode, John will share insights on how valuable it is to challenge the status quo and “lean” things out in your life. When others are “adding,” stop and consider subtracting. Bigger is not necessarily better. Ask yourself, what can I delete? When others are pushing, try pulling. When others are making false claims and sharing biased opinions, lead with open questions and get the facts. Challenge assumptions, starting with your own. When others are criticizing and judging, practice contemplation and forgiveness. Be curious. Recognize there are two sides to every coin. When others are complicating the simple, learn to simplify the complex. Offer short answers to long questions. Indeed, this is true genius. While others may be speeding up and working harder, it might be best for you to slow down and work smarter. Seek to understand life’s counterintuitive options and misunderstood paradoxes. This is where true wisdom often lies dormant.
     You will discover:
    • Why “Pulling” is much more effective than “Pushing.” What does it mean to pull as a parent or leader? What are some practical ways to do this?
    • How to Avoid the “Closet Space Syndrome.” What is this syndrome and what are some strategies for reversing it?
    • What is the difference between Activity and Productivity? How do we know if what we are doing is truly productive?
    • What is Lean Thinking? Why is this mindset so valuable in business and in life?
    • What is a paradigm and why is it so important to challenge them. What are some of life’s most common paradoxes and counterintuitive solutions?

  • Defining Moments: The Decisions that Shape Your Future
    Drawing from several of John’s 20 books, this episode will challenge viewers to identify “defining moments” in their lives and the impact they had on the internal story we tell ourselves. A defining moment can be positive or negative, productive or destructive. The key is in how we respond to them. Examples include losses of any kind. The loss of a loved one. A difficult divorce or break-up. An injury or illness. The loss of a job. Defining moments can also be positive. A new loving relationship. A significant promotion. A major award. A silver-lining. A blessing in disguise.
    The internal story we tell ourselves and the beliefs we hold in mind have a major impact on the results we get in life. A sad story delivers more grief. A victim consciousness calls for more pain and suffering. The belief in scarcity robs us of abundance. The mind of a champion brings us more victories, despite occasional setbacks. We all have defining moments in our lives – like a fork in the road. Which way do we go? Up or down? Win or lose? Accelerate or decline?
    In this episode of The Change Mastery Show, John will challenge you to rewrite the internal story you are telling yourself if it is holding you back in any way. He will also challenge you to create new, positive defining moments by stretching your imagination, letting go of resistance, and working through any fear holding you back.
    You will discover:
    • How to identify and leverage the “defining moments” in your life. What are some of the most pivotal and memorable experiences you have had that have a lasting impact on the choices you make today? What have you learned from them?
    • Your Internal Story: What do you believe you can and can’t do? What is preventing you from living the life of your dreams?
    • How to turn defeat into victory: What does it mean to “Play like a Champion?”

  • Habits Die Hard
    Drawing from one of John’s 20 books, this episode will explore 10 steps to building successful habits. We are all creatures of habit, and if you make good habits, good habits will make you. This wisdom has been around since ancient times. Aristotle once said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
    The subconscious mind – the “habitual” mind – is over one-million times more powerful than the conscious mind. This means that we spend a substantial amount of our lifetime on “autopilot,” playing out the latent mental programs that govern our behavior. The subconscious mind is so vast and powerful that we do not even know what it is thinking or capable of. It truly runs our lives – whether we know it or not.
     As creatures of habit, many people struggle with breaking habits. In this episode of The Change Mastery Show, John will help you through this very common, very challenging life experience by giving you ten steps to replace destructive habits with successful ones. If you have habits you intend to change, please join us and share this episode with others.  
    You will discover:
    • How to exchange bad habits for good habits. What are some practical and useful steps for making this transition?
    • The Ten Steps: Where do I begin and how do I finish?
    • Maintain the Gain: How do I avoid falling back into old habits?
