The Genius Code™ - Purpose, Mindset and Prosperity

How can we deal with the challenges that appear in our life? When it comes to life-altering events, how do we pick ourselves up and keep going? Sometimes we feel like giving up on our purpose and avoid adversity… but then what? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, I speak with David Cooks, a T-6 paraplegic, speaker, coach, podcast host, and author of “Getting Undressed – From Paralysis to Purpose”, where he shares his insights and wisdom in overcoming the challenges that appear in our life in the pursuit of our purpose.

Reading the news is pretty hard these days and a lot of people are asking, "What can we do when we feel that what's happening around us isn't right, that the world should be a better place?" Maybe it's observing injustice in the world or in daily life, being disenfranchised or seeing others being disenfranchised. How can we avoid becoming disillusioned and pessimistic? Do you look around you and wonder should the world be a better place? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss how is the Universal Law of Duality is relevant, why contrast is necessary and how to avoid becoming pessimistic about the future.

A lot of life is made up of waiting, whether it's for a co-worker to respond so you can proceed with your work, or for a global pandemic to be over so you can go out and do things again. It can be in the immediate term like being stuck in traffic or when dealing with people, or it can be when working towards long-term goals… how can we develop patience? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss how to make periods of waiting easier and how impatience and attachment are related.

In the book “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance”, grit is defined as passion and sustained persistence applied toward long-term achievement, with no particular concern for rewards or recognition along the way. It combines resilience, ambition, and self-control in the pursuit of goals that take months, years, or even decades. The author studied seventh graders and realised that besides IQ, grit is highly predictive of success. What is grit and why is it important? What is the ACE score and why does it affect us from a young age? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss building grit and how to go about achieving long-term goals while enjoying the process.

As we go through our lives, why do we crave acknowledgement and recognition from others? When does seeking acknowledgement, whether it be consciously or subconsciously, become an unhealthy obsession? What can we do to ensure we don't get to that point? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss how we’ve all been trained to crave acknowledgement! We take a look at how we can increase our sense of surety, and the relationship between our desire for acknowledgement and self-worth.

There is a term developing called "body doubling", which simply means working in the presence of others and is said to increase productivity. It's just being in the same room with another person, you don't need to help or even say anything. What are our thoughts on “body doubling”? Does it really work? Would people be more productive when other people are around? Is there any science behind this?  On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss this new term as a specific working style and whether it actually works.

With the rise of working from home, there's much less of a boundary between work and everything else. Maybe your boss is telling you to work on something at 11pm. Or you're expected to look after your sick child because you're working at home anyway. So how can we set clear boundaries and master them? Do you find it difficult to say no? What do successful people do differently? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss why you're in control of how you want your life to be.

We spoke previously about work-life balance and that when we're working on our life purpose, we're producing eustress. Eustress is a good type of stress that is actually important for us to have in our lives. Without it, we would become bored at best, and depressed at worst. What exactly is eustress? How do we tell the difference between good and bad stress? And how can we manage stress to ensure eustress does not become distress? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss a common misconception people have about stress, how to create more eustress, and manage distress.

In episode 028, we used the analogy of a submarine's periscope for how our mind should be when looking to manifest something in our life and briefly mentioned overthinking. Why are some people overthinkers and how can we stop ourselves from overthinking? Why is overthinking a disadvantage when it comes to getting what you want? What can we do instead? On this episode of The Executive Code podcast, we discuss what to focus on to live the life you desire.
