The M3 Mile Podcast with Frederique Murphy: Inspiration | Leadership | Strategy | Change

I want to share something with you. I've dreamed about releasing my first (and subsequent) podcast episodes for at least a couple of years. I knew that the next step was to believe it could happen, but I was not there yet... Fast-forward a couple of years and one morning, I realised that this was it: I believed it could happen; from there, I started acting, and voila: that mountain has been climbed and moving. Thus, my immense excitement to say “WooHoo, it is ready.”

You are very welcome to the first episode of my brand new podcast, The M3 Mile!!!

If you already are one of my M3 Power Community members you know – and if you are new, welcome onboard – that I’m familiar with the following statement and question: “Ok, I get it! Mindset is important, but it is so big, where do I start?”

This is why I’ve built my Mountain Moving Mindset platform on a set of key M3 facets. Focusing on one facet at a time makes working on and mastering your mindset a lot more manageable and effective. These facets are focus areas, which each consists of a series of shifts and strategies to help and support your growth: one shift at a time, one strategy at a time.

In this inaugural episode of The M3 Mile, I kick this first season by sharing with you my #1 M3 facet. It is the one you want to start with: by focusing on it, you’ll soon discover how your behaviours start to align more and more with your goals. Alignment is critical to your success as the more aligned you are, as in, you consciously align your thoughts, your behaviours, your actions towards your goals, the more focused, productive and driven you are with your results.

In this 2nd episode of The M3 Mile, I focus on goals, specifically helping you make yours more reachable: the more reachable they are, the more you’ll accomplish them. This M3 strategy – one of my FAV ones, will take you a split second to apply, yet will have tremendous impact on your actions.

Words are powerful as they shape your reality, and they have everything to do with what you do or do not do. By paying attention to your language, you can ensure that the words you are using are supporting you, as opposed to hindering you. Every time you use that particular word, you hinder your progress; it is harmful to you, your goals and your overall vision. Let’s stop it!

This 10th and last episode marks the end of Season 1 of The M3 Mile, and I wanted it to be extra special. It is different than previous episodes as it includes twice as much content (I thought that this’d be a great way to wrap this up!) and also includes a special message to you, whom I’ve had the immense pleasure to spend the last 9 weeks with, providing you with bite-sized insights and strategies for you to apply straight away to help you climb and move your mountains! Plus, you’ll also read 2 behind-the-scenes moments in the post itself ;-)

So, in this last episode, I wrap this first season up by focusing on expectations. Expectations are critical as whether or not you realise it, we have expectations about absolutely everything. Something happens in our brain every time we do not meet an expectation, every time we do meet one and every time we over exceed one. There is a very close link between expectations and motivation.

Understanding what happens at these moments will give you the power to better manage and leverage your expectations, so that you are motivated and keep going. Being able to control your motivation levels has everything to do with both your happiness and performance in everything that you do and achieve (or don’t do, nor achieve). This is SUCH an important facet and it is no wonder I’m dedicating a jam-packed episode to it!!!

In this 9th episode of The M3 Mile, I share with you something that I’ve always been fascinated by: moods, the good and the bad ones, specifically their impacts on team dynamics. I particularly remember – when I was working as an employee in large organisations, witnessing the dynamics of a group change and wondering what was going on...? Nowadays, consulting for large organisations as a mindset strategist, I know the science behind this.

I’m sure you’ve witnessed this too before, right? And, wondered how one person could have the amazing ability to come into a room and impact all of the people around them, and that either positively or negatively. Neuroscience sheds some light onto this surprising phenomenon: it is an amazing one to be aware of as it directly influences your productivity. As leaders, you are the driver of your environment, both for yourself and whoever surrounds you.

In this 8th episode of The M3 Mile, I focus on a specific excuse we use to not accomplish our goals, aspirations and dreams. And, when it comes to not achieving these, the most common excuse of all time is – and I’m picking my words very intentionally here, as yes, you’ve guessed it, I’m talking about time, specifically, ‘the lack of time’. Ever said these words before: “I don’t have time.” Sounds familiar, right?

Time is such an interesting topic as it is our most valuable commodity; we all have the same amount of time, yet we manage it very differently. And, it gets blamed a lot for being the big ugly monster preventing you from going for your goals. This is a lie, so time out and gloves are off. It is time (pun totally intended!) to change your perspective on time.
