Episode 101. How Developing Self-Control Can Boost Your Career & Life – Professor Kentaro Fujita

Looking to learn more about self-control, understand how it can be developed and how it can enhance your career and life? I discussed this and so much more with Professor Kentaro Fujita on Episode 101 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: The difference between willpower and self-control, Insights from the “marshmallow test” at Stanford University, The importance of delaying gratification, Understanding your “why” and how this can help self-control, Strategies to help develop self-control, Working smarter not harder, Creating an environment where it is easier to develop self-control, The role emotions play in self-control and The importance of taking action on a  consistent basis. Kentaro is a Professor of Psychology and Director of the Decision Sciences Collaborative at The Ohio State University.  He received his Bachelors in Psychology at Harvard College, and his Masters and PhD in Psychology at New York University.  He is an expert in motivation, goals, behavior change, and decision-making.  Much of his award-winning research explores self-control: that is, who, when, and why do some succeed and others fail at resisting immediate temptations that undermine more distant goals?   Resources & People Mentioned Walter Mischel Wilhelm Hofmann Fung Lei Ethan Kross   Contact Kentaro Website:  https://u.osu.edu/fujita/   Reframe & Reset Your Career Resources & Contact Info Website: https://www.harshaboralessa.com/  YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ReframeResetYourCareer  LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reframe-reset-your-career/?viewAsMember=true Newsletter: https://reframeandresetyourcareer.substack.com/  E-mail - [email protected] Thank you for your continued support of Reframe & Reset Your Career, I do appreciate it.  It would be great to hear from you, the listeners, and your thoughts about the podcast, YouTube channel or anything else, it's always a pleasure to hear your views.
