Our brain is a powerful and complex tool that governs our behaviours and decisions. But for most people, their subconscious mind may stop them from reaching their full potential as team players or team leaders. Little do we know that this affects our business, our success, and our overall well-being.
In this episode, we have Malorie Nicole, host of the Abundantly Clear podcast. Malorie is a coach, a mindset expert, and a subconscious programmer. She shares with us her personal experiences of her learned behaviours, subconscious programming, growing our business or teams, and more. Today’s show is for CEOs, team leaders, senior executives, and everyone else in a leadership role.
Be sure to tune in and learn how you can overcome your mental barriers!
Getting into Health and Wellness (2:47)
Malorie got sick around 2014, experiencing multiple symptoms that she thought meant a very serious illness.
She was working at an engineering firm and realized that her symptoms were affecting her quality of work.
Frustrated, she started fixing her lifestyle slowly and listening to her body more. She realized she was not addressing the root cause of her symptoms.
Eventually, she wanted to expand her knowledge beyond engineering. This is the point where she got into mind, body, health, and wellness learning.
Getting into Coaching and the Subconscious (5:50)
She was initially in the health and wellness business, which sparked her interest in exploring the path of coaching.
People started coming to her for bookings, asking for her help, and scheduling counselling about the different mindset components.
The unexpected swerve in her career led her to learn about the mind, body, and how these affect the mindset.
It eventually led her to Leadership and Executive Coaching.
Subconscious Programming (7:32)
Most of the decisions that we make are from our subconscious mind. These decisions may include our behaviours, habits, or how we act.
All these, she argues, are not random behaviour of our brain. It all follows a pattern of how we had programmed our brain.
Our subconscious is a “filing cabinet of all our beliefs.”
Our lenses are customized for us because of this so-called subconscious programming.
About 97% of what we do every day connects to our subconscious
Most people do not realize that this also affects their performance, how they lead their teams, and ultimately, how they grow their business.
Shifting Mindsets by Acknowledging Blinders (10:17)
It starts by asking people what their current “blinders” are. From there, it’s connecting the dots and pinpointing from where these blinders might have come.
“Blinders” can be our learned behaviours or mindsets about certain things that may not necessarily be true.
For Malorie, her blinder the belief that money and fear are the same. This is a learned behaviour from her father.
Her attitude towards money shifted when she made an effort to change her learned behaviour from her childhood years.
She says she notices this problem a lot with CEOs who come to her for help. These businessmen, although bringing huge money for their business, were afraid of checking their own finances.
Removing Mental Barriers (15:01)
Our conscious and our subconscious mind do not easily allow us to see our mental barriers...
