With the changing nature of work these last few months, it has drastically changed everything from how many hours you work in a day, to not having the ability to take summer trips with your family.

Let's talk about this more in this week...
2020-03-0208 minGet Your Mind OnDon’t Make up the Story Until You’ve Asked the QuestionWhat encounters in your life are you embellishing or altering in stories to fit your needs? It is very easy for us to build out a story and add additional facts, purposefully or subconsciously. It is scientifically proven that situational aspects in our lives or how we are prompted before telling a story can alter the story in a different direction than that which was factually true.

2020-01-2014 minGet Your Mind OnCreating A Culture of Psychological SafetyHow do you think about safety at work? What if I asked you to think about safety outside of our traditional definition of the word? There's a lot more complexity to workplace safety besides physical safety. In our day to day business, we look for ways to create environments where employees feel safe and enjoy the work they do. We know that employees perform best when they feel connected, comfortable and safe in their workplace. One factor in assisting in leading an employee to this is psychological safety. What exactly do I mean? Let's take a listen t...

Sometimes we get caught up in the current flow at work and we may have something that we want but don’t ask for it. Then it builds up inside emotion and may cause disengagement.

2019-09-0921 minGet Your Mind OnPerfect Practice to Maximize PerformanceHow much effort do you put into your practice? Tony Robbins says, "It’s what you practice in private that you will be rewarded for in public." Often times we may see people and assume they get their accolades after some quick work or because they're just naturally fantastic at what they do. Most often, those who are successful have achieved that through deliberate practice. This helps them hone their craft and maximize their overall performance.

All of us most likely deal with some form of toxicity in our daily lives. This could be an annoying coworker, a friend who always complains, or even someone in our family that brings stress and bad energy. How much is your own emotion responding to this? When I work with my coaching clients, I start them out by writing or journaling to get some of their pent-up emotions that are getting in the way. Th...

Last week I came back from a family vacation where I took hundreds of pictures. I capture many moments in photos and use them as an archive to look back on my life. Today I want to talk about the phrase, "a picture is worth a thousand words". I use this when I work with my clients because I know if they can see the picture, then it's likely that they...

Last week we had a great discussion on setting expectations versus setting intentions. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, listen to it here. Today we're going to continue that conversation by talking about the expectations we place on others. Whether family members, colleagues, friends, and even strangers, we may have expectations about how they're supposed to act or the way in which they are to do things. Many times our expectations of them are based on how...
2019-07-2914 minGet Your Mind OnExpectations vs. IntentionsDo you find yourself setting lofty expectations for yourself? Are you experiencing the "expectation hangover" after you don't meet your expectations? Whether it's our own personal drive to be greater than we could be or it's the societal pressures we face, sometimes our expectations that we set for ourselves can end up skewed. We set these standards most often to improve ourselves, but most people end up feeling worse about themselves if they don't reach that expectation. Yet, how can we appreciate the progress that we made in the process? Setting intentions help us succeed and be even more successful. I...

It's hard to believe how many missed opportunities people have had because they live in fear of not succeeding or reaching a goal they set. When I started Get Your Mind On six years ago, I was nervous that it would not live up to the hope that I had for it.

As I reflected on this and the importance that it holds with our country, I thought about the blessing of being free. Not everyone around the world has the ability to live in freedom. But then I also wanted to think a little bit more into other ways you can be free. Are you free to share your opinions? Free to make your own decisions? Are you in a safe environment that allows you to express yourself? I'd love for you to listen t...
2019-07-0113 minGet Your Mind OnShift Your Negative ThinkingHow much time do you spend caught up in your negative thoughts? Sometimes we get stuck in these mindsets and don’t realize how much of ourselves we are losing to thinking this way. Negative thinkers bring their coworkers and teams down. It’s difficult and sometimes exhausting to even be around people who are negative. We may not have total control over our coworkers, but we do have the ability to shift our own thinking and revert it from being negative. Let’s look at this week’s podcast to learn how to shift this negative thinking...

It's no secret that teaching and training are important for the development of new and current employees, but which is the correct path? I'm sure you imagine teaching as something you did in school. You sat and listened to a lecture on a particular subject. Training, on the other hand, probably occurred when you first started a new job and watched videos on your company or learned procedures on how to do your job. How do these relate to your current situation? It's important to have your understanding of each so that y...
