1 hr 4 min - E117: Rewrite your Story: Reclaiming Your Narrative and Designing Your Dream Life with Mona Patel
In this week’s episode I had a beautiful conversation with Best-Selling Author, Award Winning Researcher, and International Keynote Speaker Mona Patel who is an expert in reframing the way people think and operate in their companies. For over 23 years, Mona has been a thought-leader on innovation, customer experience and creativity; helping brands like Nike, Facebook, Capital One, First Republic Bank and Pfizer. She founded and built a series of 7-figure companies and her latest company, Gray Zones, produces content that inspires leaders to have more empathy, awareness and understanding in the workplace.
Since early childhood, Mona stood out with her constant drive and passion for achievement and success. However, later she realized that her addiction to accomplishments was more about external validation than inner fulfillment. Defining who she was, what she really wanted and why, was fundamental to shift from having a life that was “good on paper” to one that genuinely felt good. Even though it was a long journey that required courage, curiosity and consistent progress, Mona paved a path for real fulfillment and happiness both in her personal and professional life.
In her book “Reframe” Mona shared her techniques to find and spark your creativity and “superpower” by removing mental, cultural and organizational barriers. This can also be crucial for the corporations that are tackling to bring their ideas into reality by shifting how people see and perceive things. Tune in for an inspiring conversation!
Some powerful takeaways from today’s episode:
It is important to differentiate what feels good and what will really make you happy in the long-run
Reflecting can be more powerful than merely advising
Take one small step towards your desired direction day by day
Your ego will obey when you start asking the right questions
Doing something different every day can stimulate you to see things differently
