KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your beliefs impact problem-solving and decision-making.
• As a child we form our belief system based on experiences, socialisation and other factors. At some point, those beliefs hold us back from going into certain situations.
• Conviction is the strongest belief. Often, they are a part of our identity, but they can still be changed.
• In challenging situations start each meeting with what is going well and what you are already doing to address the problems.
• David shares a simple way to prove to yourself and your team that you can solve problems. Thus, neutralising the negative belief that you don´t have the ability to overcome the challenge(s) you are currently facing.
• Use flipping the script as a way to use positive beliefs to overcome and quieten negative beliefs. David explains how during the episode.
• Identify core beliefs that serve you and work to change those that are not serving you.
