    In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, dips into the personal finance world to help frame the discussion around strategies for behavior change.  Many people are familiar with the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche/Stacking methods for eliminating personal financial debt.  Similarly, when it comes to productivity, people have often heard that they need to "eat that frog."  Meaning, that they should tackle the hardest thing first to be most productive.

  • 014 - Fit vs. Value

    Join performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, as he discusses how viewing your relationships through the lens of value leads to a distorted view of yourself and creates breaches in alignment with your core values.

    Instead of value, what if you viewed your relationships and opportunities through the lens of fit?  What would you be able to create in your life if you had a solid grasp of your core values, long term goals, and how the people and opportunities in your life aligned with those things?  By dropping the value pressure, and looking at fit, you open up possibilities that were previously unavailable.
