Episode 5 - How our Mind Works & Role of the Conscious and the Unconscious Mind

In this podcast, executive coaches Kylie Roberts and Mel Wombwell delve into the importance of understanding the conscious and unconscious mind for effective coaching and leadership.  They emphasise how today's volatile world demands different, more meaningful definitions of success and the need for purpose-driven leaders. They explore the role of the conscious and unconscious mind in decision making, change and behavior and they delve deeply into their foundational concept, the 'Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind', portraying it as a powerful tool that stores all memories, controls emotions and behavior, maintains instincts and generates habits amongst others.  The podcast underlines how the unconscious mind responds to symbols, stories, metaphors, and pictures, and notes the importance of positive language as the unconscious mind does not process negatives and takes everything personally.  Follow Kylie  Linkedin   Follow Mel  Linkedin   Follow SHIFT unlimited Instagram  00:00 Introduction to SHIFT unlimited and the Podcast Series 00:10 The New Normal and the Need for Change 01:20 Exploring the Conscious and Unconscious Mind 01:46 The Role of the Unconscious Mind in Decision Making 04:30 Understanding the Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind 05:01 The Conscious and Unconscious Minds: A Deeper Dive 07:15 The Power of the Unconscious Mind in Change and Learning 08:27 The Unconscious Mind and Emotions 09:45 The Unconscious Mind and Memory Organization 10:27 The Unconscious Mind and Repressed Memories 12:16 The Unconscious Mind and Body Control 14:00 The Unconscious Mind and Moral Code 18:37 The Unconscious Mind and Habit Formation 23:20 The Unconscious Mind and Symbolic Interpretation 25:43 The Unconscious Mind and Negative Processing 27:38 Conclusion and Recap    Please find all images mentioned in this episode available HERE
