E109: Thoughtful Leadership - Interview with Mindy Gibbins-Klein

Today Pete speaks to Mindy Gibbins-Klein, author, trainer and award-winning entrepreneur. She helps people get their message out there, often via a book but also through many other platforms.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mindy has written 9 books, Mindy lost her friend to suicide when she was just 26, this is what inspired her to write her first book and launched her career.
Mindy partakes in thoughtful leadership, this is really taking the time to think through what you are putting out there. It is spending time reflecting on what you are doing and what you plan to do and being truly honest. The willingness to look at what you are doing and be honest about what you see.
24 Carat Bold, a book Mindy wrote, was the first time she was truly bold herself and encouraged others to also be bold; to be opinionated but still respectable.
A lot of people hold back what they really think, they worry about what others might say or think. Mindy wants to help others fire in the belly and help them fulfil that dream they have, show them it’s possible and how they can do it.
Mindy finds more reward in helping others than doing things for herself. She gets more out of helping others than even writing her own books.
Mindy believes that we are all capable of continuous improvement. We are all born with the ability to strive for more and make decisions for ourselves and our lives. It’s a choice.
Goal setting is about deciding whether to commit and ‘pay the price’. Decide whether you are going to do the work to achieve the goal. You will feel more authentic even if you are honest with yourself and say no and you will also achieve the goals you do decide to go for.
Just because you want to improve or change things it doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with how you are right now. Recognising that you want to do something different and doing that is a beautiful thing. Focus and appreciate that.

BEST MOMENTS

“I’m not here to judge or play god or anything like that but if someone wants to do it and it’s not happening then we step in”

“Don’t die with the book or the story still in you”

“I think every single person is born with the ability to do the hard work, to make the tough decisions, to make sacrifices, to change their lives…continuous improvement is there for all of us”

“Most people are not self-aware at all…but if you can look at your own stuff and have a higher standard for yourself…you can end up being a thought-leader”
