In this episode I talk with Dr. John Schinnerer, an executive coach and organizational consultant who helps people make the most of their personal and professional potential.   John is a U.C. Berkeley-trained coach with a Ph.D. in educational psychology who has distilled the very best of research-based tools and methods to help clients overcome anxiety, and anger, and move towards a happy, contented, and purposeful life.    Some of the topics we discuss are vulnerability, awareness, mindfulness, old school vs new school, and why we need more intelligence, kindness, empathy, and communication skills.   If you don't know what is going on in your own head, you have no chance to change it. John thinks too many of us go through life half awake, operating from habit and unconscious thinking. We talk about how to figure some of this out.
