LifePilot: Live your life by design

Imagine you could implement certain brain habits to boost productivity.

Your brain is incredible.

It’s a high-functioning machine that keeps your entire body working every single second of the day.

How do you keep that beautiful brain in top condition?

How do you make sure it’s being as productive as it can be?

How do you make sure you’re using all your resources properly so that your brain is as effective as possible?

Dr Nicole Byers is a neuropsychologist, speaker, host of The Bold Life podcast, and CEO of Rocky Mountain Neurosciences in Calgary, Canada. She has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Saskatchewan, she is an Adjunct Research Assistant Professor with the University of Calgary, and she has published articles in professional journals on the topics of brain health and neuroscience.

She’s an ambitious overachiever herself, a self-described neuroscience nerd, and mom to one very opinionated preschooler who keeps her on her toes. Nicole helps folks overcome the mental habits that are keeping them stuck in self-doubt, overwhelm, and stress so they can have the confidence to achieve success.

In this episode we uncover:

✅ How Nicole went from the public healthcare system to running her own business

✅ Why you need to stop pushing through all day (your brain has limits for how long it can maintain focus and productivity)

✅ The power of brain-body connection, and how health changes affect that

✅ How multitasking makes you less efficient

✅ How self-doubt, criticism and perfection drain your mental resources away from the important things you should be focusing on

Resources:

Nicole has a new free workbook for you to download: Your Daily Productivity Checklist. It helps you to organise your brain to start your workday with success so you can stop procrastinating, get more done, and reach your goals ... without feeling totally overwhelmed all the time!

Listen to this interview about Suck it up, Princess (my latest book), and the lessons I’ve learned about burnout, saying no, and creating boundaries.

How can you give your brain a big, ole break? You PLAY! Jeff Harry LOVES to play, and he loves talking about it too.

Eps 125: Baby-Proof Your Business to Run Without You!

If you had to take some time off (like...a loooong time off) would your business survive without you?

This is the question I’ve been grappling with, because I’m almost a mama!

Can you believe it? Baby Leo is coming, and he’s coming soon!

We are in full-on baby-planning mode. Preparing ourselves, the house, the dogs...everything!

So, it makes sense to prepare my business for this major moment, too, right?

Even if you’re not planning on having a baby, this is important stuff.

Maybe you’ve thought about taking a sabbatical, or a long holiday, or a big-ass adventure! Whatever the reason, how do you step away from your business and make sure that it runs like a total boss while you’re away?

You need systems, processes, an amazing team, and, most importantly you need to learn to let go!

In this episode we uncover:

✅ Why it’s so important to SIMPLIFY your business, so you can nail tasks and systems

✅ The importance of writing up operational guidelines so that your team can be the bomb dot com when taking over your biz

✅ Why you need to build your moat, around you and your business, so that it’s all protected

✅ What amazingness might be in store if you let your team step into their zone of genius
