5 Profoundly Insightful Questions with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

VISUALIZATION: Transformation-creating Listening Skills (Exercise 4 of 5)
It's Day 4... let's dive deep into that filter that most gets in our way when we are listening. We tend to listen THRU the lens of ourselves. It's hard not to. And yet, that is often the very thing that gets in the way of listening well. Don Miguel Ruiz wrote one of my first life-changing books...

VISUALIZATION: Transformation-creating listening skills (Exercise 2 of 5)
Our email yesterday had some formatting issues, apologies for that. Maybe that was a happy accident though... our communication didn't come thru as well as it could have because communication is so much more than just words. It's how they are formatted, the tone of them and everything else they…

VISUALIZATION: Transformation-creating listening skills (Exercise 1 of 5)
Take a minute and think about this. How often - in your day to day life - are you REALLY TRULY listening? How often are you listening to understand versus listening to reply/respond? Listening to understand means that you aren’t thinking about what you are going to say, you’re not thinking about...

Behold the power of gratitude at work…
This one is good for work, life, anywhere, but we were so curious about Jill Shroyer’s input on the importance of gratitude at work in our last podcast that we wanted to dive in deeper. Often “gratitude” at work comes in the form of a program that offers gift cards or a bonus at the end of the…

An idea. A mouse. A movie. An empire. Disney's creative process.

#9 Part 3: Pausing is so powerful, Robert Poynton wrote a book on it
We tend to think of a pause as a moment to do nothing… but in actuality not much "nothing" happens in a pause. A pause tends to be where the magic lives - where very much needed insight and clarity shows up. And yet, somehow, we’ve created this world where GO GO GO is the norm and pauses tend to…
