While reading Angela Duckworth’s book, GRIT, she refers to the work of her colleague Carol Dweck and her book, MINDSET, where the concept of a fixed vs a growth mindset is discussed. I tought to myself, well what about people that have a fixed mindset…can then change it to a growth mindset or are the permanently stuck. Well, I’ll argue that hard work to change starts with 1. Identifying your limiting beliefs, 2. replacing them with positive thoughts, 3. practicing gratefulness for the chance to change, 4. setting small achievable goals, 5, being positive in pursuit of those goals, 6....

Artificial Intelligence just went mainstream with a major bang! ChatGPT, a chatbot driven by artificial intelligence based on language models, has become one of the fastest and highest downloads in history.

I heard Patrick Bet David talking about “out-improving the competition and it made me think about how to help you do that. First of all, you don’t have to look at out-improving as a competition against someone else, but more importantly, as a competition against whatever is keeping you from achieving your personal goals. If “out-improving” matters to you, then I would suggest that there are several core topics you should study on whatever medium you prefer as long as they are fully articulated books. Although I had a tough time putting these in an exact order, what worked for me was...

I recently started listening to Carl Jung’s book, Man & His Symbols and I’m struck by his discussion about his experience analyzing the dreams of his patients. It’s very easy to live your life only in a conscious way and never considering or worse even dismissing your unconscious mind. However, it’s an extremely compelling idea that you have in your mind the accumulated collective experiences of life that far surpass the limited personal experiences you have. It seems to me that we all should consider our dreams more closely as that great bank of knowledge is trying to teach us...

The greatest trap in life intellectually is to learn something new and then narrow your understanding of that subject into digestible pieces. This affects your current perspective of the subject and becomes your biased opinion, not necessarily the truth. Therefore, it’s critical to be curious and stay constantly in pursuit of conversation and debate with people of dissenting opinions so that you see more clearly where your blind spots are.

We hear all the time that people around the world are just barely making it through life at whatever level is relevant to their struggle. So the real question is: why would we ever allow ourselves to stay comfortable in such a terribly stressful place? We should consider pushing ourselves harder to break free from such an existence because it’s better to be uncomfortable stretching towards yourself than it is to uncomforabtly hang onto the edge of the abyss or survival.

True leaders are well trained in the art of communication. Great communicators understand that when they listen and observe they are able to organize their thoughts before speaking.

We’ve become accustomed to seeking instant gratification in many areas of life. Because we are so hungry for a positive feeling, we’ve become more vulnerable. We must understand that the achievement of instant gratification is a temporary visitor and we will soon be confronted by real struggle and tragedy. How will we be able to handle true setbacks if we’re programmed to be weak and vulnerable? It’s important to understand that life is mostly a struggle to survive, so we must beware that pursuing too much instant gratification is life-eating thin soup. GRAB THE FREE EPISODE...
info_outlineAs a coach it’s my job to push people to be better and in order to stay authentic in that work I subscribe to the philosophy that there is no best as long as there’s better. This has nothing to do with liking yourself, rather, it’s the development of a drive to not think that you’re ever ok so that you stay curious and are always learning and improving so that you can live a long and fulfilling life.
