162. The Gift of Feedback
March 08, 2021 11:00 - 26 minutes - 15.7 MBI’m sure all of us have had times where we didn’t want to hear feedback from someone, but it made a difference for us in the future. Maybe it was a time when you needed to hear that you interrupt your colleagues often at work, or maybe your partner doesn’t get enough words of affirmation from you. Maybe your kids will tell you that you spend too much time answering emails while you’re at home instead of playing with them. Whether we’re at work, with family members, or friends, we get feedbac...
161. Love is in the Air...Is It?
February 15, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 6.15 MBWe just celebrated Valentine's Day and many of you most likely have love on your mind. You may have bought flowers for a significant other or a friend, while others opted to get the chocolate (even if it was just for yourself). But how can we focus more on love every day and ensure it starts with us first. Valentine's Day is focusing on loving a partner, but do you ensure that you are loving yourself first? I want you to take a moment to think about that today. Let's dive into this week's Ge...
160. Delegate and Celebrate
February 08, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 6.18 MBIf you remember back to our last episode, I discussed the concept of a to-don't list. This is a list of items we need to evaluate and pass along so that we can focus our attention on the tasks we personally need to accomplish. Is this list growing for you? Are you looking at everything in your life and realizing there are pieces sucking up your time and attention? Hopefully, your to-don't list is growing and your to-do list is shrinking and narrowing its focus. As evaluate our to-don't lis...
159. What's on Your To-Don't List?
January 25, 2021 11:00 - 11 minutes - 6.86 MBAre you optimizing it to the highest productivity that you're capable of? We all have full authority to do what we'd like with our time. You are in control of your life and your 24 hours. But what if you fell off track or that you can't control your time? Whether it's family time, work schedules, or items on your to-do list that are restricting you from accomplishing the aspirations you've set for yourself. Maybe you should think about how to fix your time or items you need to say no to. Or ...
158. Smart vs SmartER!
January 18, 2021 11:00 - 20 minutes - 11.8 MBWhat are you doing today to fulfill everything you would like to accomplish this year? With the beginning of a new year, many of us have the desire to succeed. You may have set resolutions or goals, or even aligned with a word for your year. But now that we're halfway through the month, are you still on track? Did you miss a day or two of working out? Did you eat that donut you claimed you wouldn't touch? Did you get caught up in work responsibilities and forget to spend the time you want...
157. Where are You in 2021?
January 11, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 6.18 MBWhen we think about a new year with new goals and plans, we sometimes use it as an exciting restart. Resolutions are created to change up what we did last year and become the best person we can this year. Even though 2020 may not have been exactly like we all planned, you probably learned something valuable from it. How did you grow from last year? What new and exciting opportunities are created for you this year? I want you to take the opportunity to look at the plans you've set for yoursel...
156. Developing or Enabling
December 14, 2020 11:00 - 14 minutes - 8.34 MBWhen have you taken the time to develop someone around you? Was it a co-worker, a mentorship opportunity, or in your life with your children? Having the opportunity to develop others allows us to share our knowledge and enjoy the blessing of being able to impose wisdom on others. I've had the experience in my life to see the impact that's been made when people have great connections in their lives who work to develop them in all facets of life. But sometimes it can be unhealthy. What may ...
155. Overcoming Your Distractions!
December 07, 2020 11:00 - 14 minutes - 5.88 MBAre you naturally in the zone and driven to where you're headed? Or do you get sidetracked by other daily obligations that derail you from responsibilities you may need to complete? Regardless of where we are in life, we each have unique distractions. A task that may come easy to one person may be difficult for another. As our lives are constantly changing these days, new distractions will begin to emerge. Some of you are probably still working from home when you did not expect that to be...
154. The Path to Transformation
November 09, 2020 11:00 - 15 minutes - 8.95 MBWhat words come to mind...Modification? Alteration? Revamping? Revising? Metamorphosis? Hard work? Whether we are thinking about a personal change or an organizational change, where can you see a transformation happening? This can range from a career change, a personal health change, a relationship change, or changing the team you manage, or shifting an organizations' culture. Do you know where to begin? If we can figure out where to start, we have a better chance of taking the next s...
153. The Impact of Engagement and Wellbeing
October 26, 2020 10:00 - 36 minutes - 21.4 MBHow does engagement impact the wellbeing of your people? In this pandemic we are living in, we are focused on how we can operate successfully as companies. Many people are asking if their company can stay afloat? Can you keep all of our staff? Can we keep our production open? How is work at home affecting our employee's engagement? Take a moment to put that aside and think about the wellbeing of your employees. This week, I have the privilege of speaking with Dan Witters, Principal and...
151. The Energy of a To-Do List
October 19, 2020 10:00 - 12 minutes - 23.3 MBHow do you organize tasks in your life? Is it on a to-do list, written sticky note or maybe saved in an app on your phone? To-do lists can have amazing energy or they can be draining. This might motivate us to accomplish all of our responsibilities in life. Whether it's work, home, or family life, these lists can get us excited about what we get to do. But other times, they can be exhausting. More often than not, most of us probably live in this most often. Have you looked at a list an...
151. Shaping Your Identity
September 28, 2020 12:17 - 17 minutes - 32.6 MBWho are you as a person? Do you classify as a mother, a banker, a Christian, or maybe a brother? We all have titles in our lives that help identify who we are as people. Today I’d like to talk about what aspects of your life shape who you are. We go through life sometimes juggling lots of roles as we shift from home life to work-life to social life and back again. Let’s dive into today’s episode of the Get Your Mind On podcast today to talk about Shaping Your Identity. ********************...
150. Managing Life Challenges
September 14, 2020 10:00 - 27 minutes - 51.2 MBHow have you been managing your life transitions? Regardless of where you have been these last six months, I'm sure you've been through some life transition. For me, I moved to Portland in January to be then sent into lockdown in March and that was not how I expected my year to progress. It was a hard transition for me in a new city and no family nearby. What changes have you made to overcome these transitions? On this week's episode of Get Your Mind On, Bill Lewis from our team will tal...
Overcoming Busyness
August 31, 2020 12:27 - 10 minutes - 5.77 MBHow busy have you been lately? Are you getting yourself in a routine where you're continually busy and don't have the opportunity to stop, slow down, and realize what you're doing? We sometimes get to the point where we continue to check off tasks on our lists because we may be using it to avoid making a decision or dealing with emotional pain. How can you slow down and shift? This week, let's talk about the tasks and responsibilities we put upon ourselves in the work that we do, and how...
148. Are You Really Listening?
August 24, 2020 10:00 - 12 minutes - 23 MBWhere is your attention right now? Are you answering emails, scrolling on your phone, or maybe driving all while listening to the podcast? Take a moment to think about what it feels like when you listen. Most often when we have conversations, we appreciate being listened to. Being heard and understood is important for us as humans. We value the connection with those around us and physiologically it affects the connection we have with them. Sometimes it's the appreciation of just taking a m...
147. Out of the Office
August 17, 2020 10:00 - 9 minutes - 18 MBWhen was the last time you put an out of the office on your email? 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. Even if you haven't taken a vacation, it's also difficult for many since working from home makes it harder to disconnect, you probably haven't taken a day off of work in a while. It's important for our mental wellbeing, overall pro...
146. How Are You Feeling?
August 03, 2020 10:00 - 10 minutes - 6.4 MBWhat emotions have you been feeling lately? Needless to say, 2020 has not been a year we can coast through. There have been a lot of events that elicit a strong response with many people. Under the surface, we need to take the time to look at our emotions. How are you really feeling? Whether it's sending your kids back to school with a new schedule to figure out or adapt to the ways your workplace is adapting to a COVID lifestyle, our emotional responses may be quite high and quite frequent....
145. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
July 27, 2020 10:00 - 9 minutes - 17.5 MBHow do you interact with your teams on a daily basis? We work in teams all through our lives, even beyond the workplace. Think about how you work with a partner you may have, with your friends, or groups in organizations you're a part of. In most activities we engage in, there is a shared goal that we strive for. We need to work as a unified team to accomplish this goal. How can you come together with those around you to accomplish this goal and successfully work together as a team? We're ...
144. Leading and Managing Through the Pandemic
July 20, 2020 10:00 - 12 minutes - 22.6 MBHow can you continue to lead thoughtfully and manage effectively through this ongoing pandemic? None of us truly know what will happen next as we continue to cope with the effects and adjustments that are happening due to COVID-19. Some companies are creating their reentry strategies while other companies have called off working in the office through the end of the year. It can be argued that we need our leadership stronger now than ever before. How can we foster a culture that is adaptive...
143. Reintegrating into Life with COVID-19
July 13, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 6.94 MBIt is no secret that COVID-19 has shook up our entire world and changed workplace behavior and expectations. Some of you are essential workers who have stayed in your office or place of work throughout this pandemic and helped keep operations running. Others of you are beginning to see what it looks like to open back up offices to work. We've probably become accustomed to working from home but many people are ready to shift back to the idea of a "normal life". What's the best solution to ada...
142. Follow Your Bliss
June 29, 2020 10:00 - 8 minutes - 11.5 MBWe are nearly halfway through the year.

141. Define and Align
June 22, 2020 10:00 - 10 minutes - 14.8 MBHow are you aligning in your career and life right now? I’ve had some conversations this week with people who are questioning their roles and thinking about the alignment to their values. Because of job loss and furloughs, many people are looking back on their work to decide if this is what they want. So they are taking time to define and align. Are you getting the support you need from your manager? Does the company’s way of treating people to align with your view on humanity? Does your s...
140. Living out the Abundance Mindset
June 08, 2020 10:00 - 29 minutes - 13.6 MBLast week we built our abundance mindset and worked to shift away from lack. Now how do we live it fully? Continuing our conversation of the abundance mindset, Eric Moleski, CFP®, AIF®, President of GEN Financial from Plymouth, MN who is a great businessman, community leader, and man of character, will share his story. In challenging times we have a tendency to live in lack. Eric lives fully in abundance and I wanted to bring him to our conversation today to share how he found abundance i...
139. Living In Abundance
June 01, 2020 10:00 - 14 minutes - 8.49 MBWe are going through many difficulties as a country and a world right now. Between COVID-19 and racial inequality, many people are sharing various emotions. There is also a lot of scarcity going around right now. Whether it's a lack of jobs with many people furloughed or laid off or even to the lack of supplies like toilet paper in the stores. People are anxious and unsure about what the future holds. But it's important for us to remember how abundant our lives are. We are the ones who can s...

133. Mental Hygiene
April 20, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBHow are you taking care of your mind? It's important for us right now to focus on our mental hygiene. There are a lot of anxious people and negativity in the world right now. How can we make sure that we stay well-grounded in our thinking and take care of ourselves?

Most of us have probably never ever dealt with something like this before. So we need to think about our emotional preparedness. Wha...

April 06, 2020 10:00 - 18 minutes - 11 MBShould you be wearing a mask? That’s a big question people are asking themselves right now with the virus affecting our world. You may be making that decision for you personally or you may be part of a company making that decision for employees. I want to venture outside of the physical mask today and talk about some other masks you may be wearing. What kind of masks?

February 24, 2020 11:00 - 10 minutes - 9.23 MBWhat 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. So how can you approach this in a more straightforward way? This has the potential to be rectified by just as...

121. Ask For What You Need
January 27, 2020 11:00 - 9 minutes - 8.56 MBHave you been asking those around you for what you need? Recently I have been in a number of conversations where I am realizing people seeking guidance from me are not asking for what they need from the people around them. I hope I'm not the first to tell you, but it's okay to ask for help. Whether it's you're worried about what people will think of you or if you don't want to be seen not being smart enough, it's alright to seek advice. This is how we can grow as humans and gain more insight...

As you ideate on that question, I hope you enjoyed our conversation last week about psychological safety. We’re going to continue on a similar subject today as we think about intellectual humility.

How can we create a culture that builds people up for admitti...
119. Creating A Culture of Psychological Safety
January 13, 2020 11:00 - 14 minutes - 8.73 MBHow 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 psyc...

It’s very important for all of us during this time of year to make sure we take time to take care of ourselves. Whether it’s mental, physical, or emotional, prioritizing ourselves puts self-care right where it needs to be. So how are you taking care of yourself? Are you getting enough sleep or spending too much time running through the malls? Are you working yoursel...

How are you showing up for yourself, your family, your friends, and your co-workers, every day and giving it your all? Here in America, we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week.

November 11, 2019 11:36 - 13 minutes - 7.78 MBDo you struggle to ask for something that you desire? Are you in clear in what you are seeking and why you are seeking it? 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. Do you get nervous asking someone for a moment of their time to seek suggestions? What about that promotion that you really want but don't know how to bring it up to your boss? Or maybe it's w...
114. Be the Light
November 04, 2019 11:00 - 15 minutes - 9.25 MBHave you heard the phrase “Be the Light”? Have you pondered what it really means? Light has a large impact on our lives and how we perceive the world. With so much darkness lingering with all of the pain and hurt, light brings hope and awareness. At the beginning of today's episode, I share a story about how the lack of light made a large difference in how I felt during a situation. Just imagine what you could change if you were the light for someone. Let’s dig deeper into today’s podca...
Sidetracked on Your Adventures
October 28, 2019 10:00 - 16 minutes - 15.5 MBIs being sidetracked always negative? Not necessarily. I'm sure many of you get frustrated when you're so close to completing a project and a coworker asks for a document that needs to be finished right now. Or maybe you're at home and your kids suddenly decide to tell you that they need your help on homework that was assigned a week ago and of course is due tomorrow. Being sidetracked can divert us but it can also help us discover something we didn’t know existed. As we continue on our ser...
