Mindset Matters #51 - Integrity by Patrick Francey

“To make those significant changes it takes an investment of time, energy, effort, and money. Are you prepared to do anything and everything that it takes to get where you want to go provided it’s legal, moral, and ethical? I think you have to be able to answer yes to that question, if it’s going to work.” – Shawn Shewchuk

[02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Shawn Shewchuk.

[03:32] Shawn and Patrick rock ‘n roll, Shawn lets us in on what he’s up to, and where he prioritizes his time.

[05:27] Shawn expands on his business, and where his niche shows up in the coaching world.

[07:56] Mindset plays such a massive role in getting to the things we say we want. Shawn shares a client story to illustrate his point that we know our potential deep down, and a coach is there to help us excavate that potential and sometimes, kick our butts a bit to move it forward.

[15:45] Shawn & Patrick discuss reverse engineering our goals as a means to get clarity on our vision, and why we want to go there. Setting our sights on more, and elevating our experience requires a fresh approach, breaking things down and doing things differently.

[21:15] Being an Author! Shawn shares his journey to authorship and encourages Patrick to reconsider writing one himself! Shawn was also part of a movie designed to open up the world of coaching, to show the value of getting help to guide our future facing path.

[26:50] Coachin’ the coach. Shawn recounts some of the life events that led him to find his first coach, to fully commit to the process, and change the experience of his life at that moment to something dramatically different. To make those significant changes it takes an investment of time, energy, effort, and money.

[38:25] Growing up with an entrepreneurial Dad had Shawn actually run the other way. His experience as a kid of the entrepreneurial life, was not a positive one and he was determined not to go there. That is, until he found out he wasn’t terribly employable… He did eventually allow the innate entrepreneur to surface which included an old book he sent away for in his teenage years that turned out to be a catalyst for some of his business consulting ventures. Through the 40+ companies he has built, Shawn has made a real positive impact.

[44:20] Shawn explains the driver behind building and selling businesses – some intentional accidents, some not. He saw a need and value and would follow the path. Although not always a pleasant road, he rises to a good challenge.

[49:31] Taking money off the table, what lights Shawn up about consulting, coaching, and publishing books? They each have a slightly different take, but what you’ll hear overall is to be of contribution and have a significant impact.

[53:14] As a big journaling fan, Patrick asks Shawn to expand on one of his books “Your Freedom Journal”. Shawn explains the system behind it, the accountability factor, and space to cultivate gratitude.

[57:07] Patrick notes the three meaningful factors we need as humans: contribution, fulfillment, significance, and how he sees that showing up in Shawn’s jou...

If you’re looking for real change in your life, and to transform your mindset, why not start with your relationship? For a relationship to last, it must be a place you go to give, and not a place you go to take. Practicing selflessness and prioritizing your partner will elevate you, and your perspective on life. Giving, rather than taking, encourages you to be your best self. When you trade your expectations from getting to appreciation for receiving, your whole world changes – including your relationship. The act of communicating not only helps to meet your needs, but it’s critical to the connection we seek in relationship. Join Patrick and Steffany as they discuss this key to a successful and fulfilling relationship, something many people simply don’t know how to do.

“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.” – Patrick Francey

Patrick's periwinkle Porsche... We don't see things in life as they are, we see things as WE are. The more we can alter ourselves the more we can see the world differently. Join Patrick and Steffany as they share insights into our Reticular Activating System.

“Why must we have the conversation about mindset and why is it important?

It’s not only about success, it’s not just about getting shit done, it’s not even about being ultra successful in business or in life. It’s really about how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s very much all about us and how we view the world.” – Patrick Francey

“If there’s anything that is standing in your way of getting more of what you want in your life, I would invite people to examine their brand. It’s playing into it whether they realize it or not.” – Cindy McGovern

[02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Dr. Cindy McGovern.

[03:31] Cindy & Patrick swing into action with Cindy sharing what she’s passionate about and how that translates into her business!

[04:46] Sell Yourself. Cindy explains how and why the title of her book unfolded. As a difficult topic for many, including Cindy at one time, through her business and book, Cindy’s intention is to “de-ickify” sales.

[06:38] Leadership requires sales. If we want people to buy into our vision, whether raising capital or building a business we have to sell ourselves to build trust and mutually beneficial relationships particularly with the rapidly changing landscape of the last few years.

[09:59] Patrick discusses the Four Dimensions of Trust: are you telling the truth, are you reliable, are you competent and do you care? While all components contribute to trust, the GAS (give a shit) factor is the make or break factor. Cindy picks up that baton and carries on explaining how many confuse rapport with trust (just because you get along with someone, doesn’t mean they trust you!) which then leads to examining your brand and where the gap may be.

[11:35] In the reality of virtual business and a multi-sensory community, Cindy talks about the importance of how we present ourselves online and show up to sell our brand – be it Zoom, podcasts, interviews or meetings. How and what do we want to be known for and be trusted to provide?

[15:06] What is the legacy you want to leave? What impression do you want to leave people with about you? Cindy reinforces that it’s our job to ensure that impression is left, that we embody our brand, those qualities and competencies in all facets of who we are.

[17:15] Individual brand and our superpowers. In her “workshop in a book” Cindy takes readers through exercises to discover their superpowers and take an honest inventory of what their superpowers are not. Self-awareness is key to understand how the rest of the world may be perceiving you, rather than dwelling in blind spots.

[19:22] Own it! When we do get clear on our superpowers and kryptonite, work ‘em. Cindy describes how we can reframe the discomfort of highlighting our superpowers to our audience/clients/investors/employers to show them how we will be of value and contribution rather than passively expecting them to notice.

[22:01] Cindy goes back the critical need to intentionally create our individual brand. There are several chapters dedicated to this in her book, which work through creating, living and selling our brand. These pillars are foundational in how we develop trust. When we are willing to do the work, we will see more results with what we desire.

[25:39] As a coach, Cindy regularly sees people who are ready to change, up for the promotion, confident in their ability but just not selling themselves effectively. She observes their resistance to honestly look at their gaps, and step into who they need to be to achieve this.

Cindy McGovern – Sell Yourself. Build the Brand of Trust

We all sell. Every day. Regardless of what your title says, you are in sales. In business and in life, people strive to promote – or sell – an ideal version of themselves. Asking for a referral, networking, and interviewing for a job are all forms of selling.

The book, Every Job is a Sales Job will, by using real-world examples, help readers identify “selling” opportunities that they may have overlooked. Created for any person – not just those in sales, and for those in any job, regardless of title – this book teaches readers how to use specific skills to advance themselves professionally and personally.

In Sell Yourself, Dr. Cindy McGovern―known in the business and sales community as “the First Lady of Sales®”―will guide you toward a new way of thinking about the role of your personal brand, and will reveal how you can create, live, and sell that brand to sell yourself. She also will teach you how to overcome any aversion to sales you may have so you can sell that brand like a pro.

“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.” – Patrick Francey
