Ep#131 Childhood Conditioning

07/04/24 • 22 min

Childhood gave us rules for survival that worked well then, but can be counter-productive in adulthood. At work, our unresolved childhood fears pop up at random and trigger the amygdala, freezing our adult brain. We cannot (in the moment) solve a fear that happened decades ago.
However, coaching is particularly successful in unburdening us of the childhood fears of rejection, abandonment and disapproval. Then we can solve work problems using our adult brain.
When we do this, anxiety, stress, frustration, resentment and overwhelm reduce.
We can return smoothly to the helm of our professional life.

Ep#132 Extreme Ownership

Let's explore how extreme ownership can help you bounce back from burnout and boost your leadership skills. It's so powerful to own your actions, performance and mistakes, instead of overcommitting or trying to please everyone, or passing the buck.
Understanding the pressures others face can really help with better communication and teamwork, creating a more supportive work environment. Hear insights from "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, and "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown, who share tips on effective leadership and self-improvement.
