What if the way you think about yourself and who you are—i.e., your Identity—is all made up? And what if calling something “impossible” is simply a reflection of a self-imposed limitation and not reality? Join host Meredith Bell as she explores the answers to these intriguing questions with guest Dr. Johannes Metzler.

Johannes shares how he works with clients to raise their awareness about their actual capabilities and what’s possible when they start releasing the limiting beliefs that have been holding them back. He describes one client’s journey to releasing the identity of being inconsistent. 

You’ll find out how Johannes created his Document and why it’s an expression of his true essence. He explains how every line in it relates to every aspect of life, even flossing his teeth! This is an inspiring, thought-provoking episode that will open your eyes to the possibilities available to you right now.

About the Guest: 

Dr. Johannes Metzler is an Executive Coach from Berlin, Germany. He has a PhD in economics, with a business background as a strategy consultant, an executive and a founder. Today,  Johannes works with entrepreneurs and executives to help them thrive and create impossible futures in all areas of their lives while enjoying the ride.

Sometimes we resort to “amateur psychology” when an area of our life isn’t going the way we’d like. It’s natural to ask WHY and look for answers that often lead to some version of “What’s wrong with me?” What if you could replace that thinking with a new system focused on actions that explore possibilities?

In this episode, host Meredith Bell discussed these ideas and many others from The Power of Systems with Trevor Timbeck, who co-authored the book with Steve Chandler. You’ll hear about Trevor’s experiences that led to the realization that everything in life can be viewed as a system. Trevor also shares the system he and Steve created for writing their book that made the process fun and energizing for both of them.

You’ll learn two simple questions to ask when evaluating a current system, and you may feel a sense of freedom in hearing how easy it is to start playing with a new one. Trevor has thought deeply about the power of systems, and his brilliance shines through in this conversation. Be prepared to take notes and listen to this episode more than once. There are many thought-provoking insights.

About the Guest: 

Trevor is a coach and author who lives and plays at the intersection of Love, Language and Leadership. He's on a mission to transform the world of leadership from fear-based command and control to love-based inspire and enroll. Trevor spent the first forty years of his life getting a masters in righteousness and has committed the next forty years to a masters in workability. He loves to walk really slowly and listen to the Universe.
