Reframing Mindset
When things get tough, our mindset is a powerful tool that can help us find solutions. Retired CEO Johnny Sirpilla shares how you can reframe your mindset during difficult times in your life and at work.
He suggests that instead of thinking "I have to," we reframe it to "I get to." For example, "I get to go to the gym" or "I get to do this challenging project at work." This small shift in perspective can make a big difference in how we approach difficult tasks.
When we think "I have to," it puts us in a negative frame of mind and makes us feel like we're being forced to do something. On the other hand, "I get to" implies that we're choosing to do something, even if it's challenging. This positive framing can help us approach difficult tasks with a sense of enthusiasm and possibility.
So next time you're faced with a difficult task, try reframing your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to." This small shift can make a big difference in how you approach the task at hand.
Your Character Carries Over from Work-to-Home
...and home-to-work, if we don't take the time to draw a line between the two. It's important to find a healthy balance that works for you.
One way to do this is to set aside some time each day to transition from work mode to home mode. For example, you might take a few minutes to put away your work materials, take a break from electronics, or do something relaxing before you start your evening routine.
This transition time can help you leave work worries behind and focus on spending quality time with your family and loved ones. It can also help you recharge for the next day so you can show up at work refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
If you're finding it difficult to balance work and home life, try setting aside some time each day to transition from one to the other. This small change can make a big difference in your ability to find a healthy balance.
I don't believe that we can genuinely switch gears and be awful people at work, somebody who verbally and emotionally beats people up, then returns to their home where they're nurturing or welcoming to kids and spouse alike--these are all part of one fabric: our character!

Using Emotional Intelligence to Become a More Effective Leader
As a leader, it's important to be aware of your own emotions and how they affect your team. Noble Gibbens can help you become a more effective leader by teaching you how to use emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the capacity to be aware of and manage one’s own emotions, and the emotions of others.
It has been shown that emotional intelligence can be a predictor of success in life, and leaders with high emotional intelligence have been shown to be more effective than those without it. There are many different ways to develop and improve emotional intelligence, but one way is through training and education.
Noble Gibbens offers courses that teach emotional intelligence and how it can be used to become a more effective leader. These courses can help you learn about yourself and others, and how to manage emotions in a way that leads to positive outcomes.
In This Episode
- Military leadership and emotional intelligence
- Emotional health and spirituality
- The impact of not having self-awareness of our own emotions
- Three steps to improving your emotional intelligence

Noble Gibbens, the EQ Gangster
Noble Gibbens is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduated from West Point. Earning the coveted Ranger tab, Noble is no stranger to leadership, excellence, and working with teams.
How did Noble become an expert on emotional intelligence and help leaders around the world do the same? It was his own need that drove his growth. Addicted to people-pleasing, Noble found himself in a rut working within a toxic work environment. His lack of emotional intelligence was taking a toll on his marriage and family.
Dedicating himself to gaining more self-awareness on emotions and interpersonal relationships, Noble acquired certifications and expertise to be able to pay it forward as an executive coach. Through emotional intelligence, we can improve every area of our lives, and Noble helps teams do that.
Noble also loves tacos and enjoys snowboarding with his family.
