110. Letting Go
October 07, 2019 10:00 - 17 minutes - 15.8 MBHere in Colorado, the leaves on the trees around me are starting to turn beautiful colors. To me, this is a great reminder with the changing of the leaves that the trees are showing us that it's okay to let things go. As we dive into this week's GET YOUR MIND ON episode, I want you to take a look at what you may have to let go. Is it doubt? Fear? Anxiety? Control? What is something that is not serving you well and limiting your performance? Let's talk about this concept of letting go as we ...
109. 10 Years Together!
October 01, 2019 10:00 - 18 minutes - 17.6 MBCan you believe that it has been 10 years of Lori Stohs Consulting Group? I am so thankful for everyone who has been with me from day one and everyone who has had a contribution over the past 10 years. I would have never imagined what I was creating and what we have accomplished and it’s not without all of you. I knew that starting my own company was going to be the next big step in my career. Needless to say, I have been blessed with great clients, friends, employees, and family who al...

September 23, 2019 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MBHow are you evaluating your performance? Are you in tune to what is energizing and empowering to you and what’s draining to you in your work? We have been checking in on our performance and It's important to take time to think about what energizes or drains you. There are a lot of factors that affect our energy. Whether it's the actual work tasks or projects, the people around you, or the company culture, we want to strive to be engaged in where we spend 75% of our waking hours. This wee...
107. Evaluating Performance and Behavior
September 16, 2019 12:19 - 12 minutes - 12.1 MBTo build upon our conversation last week on will they stay or will they go, today we are talking about the Performance Review Process. Are you consistent in your process? Is it a valuable dialogue with your team members? Are you evaluating performance and behavior? Whether you are a manager or an individual employee we should all take into consideration the importance of the review process. When an employee doesn't get information on their successes and improvements needed in the...
106. Will They Stay or Will They Go?
September 09, 2019 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBWill your employees stay with your company, or will they move on to something bigger and better? Retention rate with a company is a hot button. The hiring process always takes longer than we like, training an employee uses valuable resources, and employee engagement is better when you have a team you feel a part of. Since unemployment is relatively low these days, what can you do to create the best employee workplace to continually ensure your employees enjoy their jobs? You might have ve...
Perfect Practice to Maximize Performance
August 26, 2019 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MBHow 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. This week in Get Your Mind On, we're talking...
Releasing Toxicity Through Writing
August 19, 2019 10:00 - 10 minutes - 10.3 MBAre you holding in emotions that are getting in your way? What can you gain from writing out your thoughts? 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 ...
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
August 12, 2019 11:43 - 14 minutes - 14 MBHow often have you heard the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words"? What value and impact do pictures in your life play? 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 have a bett...
Expectations of Others
July 29, 2019 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBEven though we oftentimes are our own worst critic, we also get let down by placing expectations on others. 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...
101. Expectations vs. Intentions
July 22, 2019 10:00 - 11 minutes - 11.2 MBDo 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 ca...
100. Belief in Yourself!
July 09, 2019 12:00 - 12 minutes - 12 MBHow much do you believe in yourself? 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. I work with lots of people who have aspirations to improve in their career or step out and take new steps, yet they fail when it's time to take the next step and walk through the door into the opportun...
99. Freedom Around and Within
July 01, 2019 10:00 - 13 minutes - 12.9 MBHere in America, we are celebrating the Fourth of July; our national holiday to celebrate independence. 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 expres...
Shift Your Negative Thinking
June 24, 2019 10:00 - 14 minutes - 12.9 MBHow 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...
97. Living a Life of Experiences
June 17, 2019 03:51 - 9 minutes - 8.88 MBAre you living a life of experiences? When was the last time you experienced something beyond your comfort zone? There are so many things we can do to expand our personal lives and our work experiences but sometimes we stay in our comfort zone. You never know what tomorrow will bring. What’s holding you back from new experiences. Life is short and we are never sure of what tomorrow will bring. Listen in today and think about how you can expand your life with new experiences. ********...
96. Teaching vs. Training
June 10, 2019 10:00 - 10 minutes - 10.3 MBWhat differentiates teaching and training? 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 curr...
95. A Life by Default or Design
June 03, 2019 11:54 - 10 minutes - 9.88 MBAre you living your life in a natural manner or creating a life with intention? In our world today, we're almost expected to craft our lives to be perfect examples of graduating college, starting a job, getting a promotion, and then running the business from the top. I'm sure many of you have a career path that you're hoping to hit or a ladder pattern that you've mapped out to accomplish in the next few years. How can we break the mold of societal expectations and personal calculations as ...
94. Commit to Trust
May 27, 2019 10:00 - 6 minutes - 6.32 MBDo you talk about trust or commit to it? Are your actions rooted in trust or fear? Is your trust environment helping or hurting the bottom line? For the past four weeks, you have been encouraged to get your mind on trust. Now, it is time to take action. Make a commitment this week to accelerate your journey of earning and sharing trust. At the heart of every authentic leader is a superior level of trust. Offer trust and offer inspiration!
93. Building a Trust Based Environment
May 20, 2019 11:49 - 8 minutes - 8.15 MBHave you ever asked yourself these questions... Do trust issues exist in your team that negatively affect teamwork and productivity? Do you trust your team? Do our leaders and managers know how to build or gain trust? A trusting environment requires the attention and effort of leaders and managers within the organization. Trust among colleagues enriches the work environment and exponentially heightens engagement. There is no substitute for trust. It is a required ingredient in the recipe for...
92. Rebuilding Trust
May 13, 2019 10:00 - 5 minutes - 5.75 MBHas someone broken your trust? Have you broken someone's trust that you wish you could regain? Once trust is broken, how can we rebuild it? Trust makes things easy and comfortable. Once trust is broken, things can get awkward. Where do you go from here? There are five steps you can implement to rebuild trust. It won't be easy. But it will be worth it. Leaders and managers set the trust tone in any organization. Knowing how to build trust is just as important as knowing how to rebuild it. *...
91. Trust Starts with You
April 29, 2019 10:00 - 4 minutes - 4.84 MBDo you trust yourself? Would you consider yourself trustworthy? Do you trust your intentions? Relationships are very valuable and we need to build strong trust for those relationships to grow. In order to strengthen these relationships, we first must trust ourselves and be willing to be open and vulnerable to others. Being a trustworthy individual means that we earn the trust of others while trusting our own intentions. Take some time to listen and think about how trust starts with you...
90. The Impact of Trust
April 22, 2019 09:00 - 5 minutes - 4.96 MB"You can trust me." These are four very powerful words. Trust is established when our words align with our actions. Trust grows when we are consistent in our behavior. Although trust is difficult to measure, we know when it is there and we know when it is absent. Trust is a necessary cornerstone on which success is built! Who you trust and how you are trusting impacts every day of your life. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth. ...

April 08, 2019 09:00 - 16 minutes - 15 MBThe weather is getting nicer and spring is hopefully upon us. I'm having great weekends here in Denver enjoying the weather. As we look forward to this change of season, how do you get prepared? Do you participate in Spring Cleaning? I know many people clean out their garages, dust off their outdoor furniture, pull out their summer clothes, but what do you do to clean yourself up for a successful spring? Have you ever thought about cleaning up your thoughts, beliefs and your brain to prepar...

Prayers for Nebraska
March 18, 2019 09:00 - 4 minutes - 4.78 MBKindness. Loyalty. Commitment. Family. Roots. Love. Prayers. Hope. Those words are close to us when anyone is experiencing a disaster.

84. Where Are You Spending Your Time?
March 11, 2019 09:00 - 7 minutes - 6.73 MBWith Daylight Savings Time this weekend, I'm sure quite a few of you are thinking about how losing an hour is making an effect on you. Do you feel a little bit slower at the start of this week? The idea of springing forward and falling back dates back decades, but it still makes a big impact on our lives today.

Love Watching Others Grow

As we continue on our month of love, we are focusing on loving to see others grow. Many accomplished people have so much to share to shape their employees.

Since it is Valentine's Day week, I'm sure many of you are thinking about what you're going to get your spouse, partner or something for close friends and family. You're probably looking for the perfect gift that will mean everything to them. Thinking about this holiday made me wonder how can we actively show this same love year round. There is someone closer than your friends or your spouse or partner that deserves infinite ...
79. Do What You Love
February 04, 2019 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MBAs we enter into what many consider to be the “love month”, do you sit back and ask yourself if you really are doing what you love? When you spend approximately 75% of your life at work are you engaged and loving what you do? If you have been a follower, you know I am a big advocate for having a career that makes you excited to go to work and one that you absolutely enjoy and believe in. This has been something I’ve learned personally myself and, in the years, I’ve helped others understand...

January 21, 2019 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBDo you see much changing around you or is everything staying the same? In this era of technology that we are living in, so many things progress quickly. You’ll realize that if you’ve ever picked up a device and not be familiar with how to use it or you’ve had to teach your parents how to use their phones. But what has stayed the same? When we are contrasting the two, it requires a balance of managing both current and new things. As we dig into this week’s GET YOUR MIND ON, let’s talk about h...

What are Your Intentions for 2019?
December 17, 2018 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.29 MBWhen we reflect on where we’ve been, we can get a better grasp on where we want to go. Last week we talked about reflecting on 2018 and what you were able to accomplish. Did you take time this week to think about what happened in 2018 for you? Now that we’ve taken time to analyze our year, we have a better opportunity now to set the intentions we want for 2019. As we approach the winter solstice it’s a good time to re-establish the intentions before the new year. This week on the Get Your M...
72. Reflections on 2018
December 10, 2018 10:00 - 5 minutes - 5.32 MBHow did you do this year? Did you take the time you wanted to accomplish everything you had planned for 2018? It is already the end of the year and 2018 is coming to an end. Whether you had set intentions or resolutions for the year, I’m sure all of us had those that we completed and those that never got accomplished. This is one of the best opportunities to look back and see where you were successful. You can take a look at those responsibilities to capitalize where you hit the mark. Wh...
71. Rejected to Redirected
December 03, 2018 10:00 - 11 minutes - 11.1 MBHave you ever procrastinated on a new project because you feared what people would think about it? How do you view rejection? How has rejection stopped you from achieving higher levels of success in your life? I believe we may hold ourselves back because we fear rejection from people around us. Sometimes we lose our focus from honoring what feels right to us instead of what people want us to do. Maybe we need a shift in our lives, whether it is getting a new job, getting new friends, o...
Surround Yourself with Support
November 26, 2018 10:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBWhere do you get help from those around you? Do you have a support network that helps you through relationships, work, and life? There are many support mechanisms around us in our lives. It could be systems, processes, technology, and people. It is easier for us to do life with those around us and not try to do it on our own. It’s important for all of us to have people who help us and lift us up when we are in times of need. Even if it’s just the small moments of life where we reach out...
69. Managing Up, Down, and Around
November 19, 2018 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBWhen we think about management, most often we revert to those who manage us or the people we manage below us. This week I want to alter that assumption and talk about how we can manage those below us, our peers around us, and manage the people above us. We are most used to managing those below us so I want to challenge your skills and assumptions about management to think about managing up, down, and around. What can you do to make this successful? How can you offer management insight to y...
68. Are You in Denial?
November 12, 2018 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.88 MBAre you refusing to believe the truth about situations in your life? Sometimes we hide and deny facts or situations in our lives that we either don’t want to solve or those we just don’t want to believe. When we are in denial, we are carrying an extra burden that is not necessary and it limits our potential. In what ways can you release any burdens of denial you are carrying? Let’s take a look internally as we talk about denial and the effect it has on us in this week’s podcast. *********...
67. Control vs. Responsibility
November 05, 2018 07:07 - 9 minutes - 9.04 MBWhen we want to take control, where does that come from? There is a balance between wanting to take control of a situation versus taking responsibility for something. Sometimes people may believe that they are going to take responsibilities on a project or action, but they actually want to have control over those around them. Two weeks ago we talked about fear based tantrums and how sometimes we as adults still have problems expressing our thoughts and emotions. I wanted to dive in a lit...
66. Fear Based Tantrums
October 24, 2018 09:00 - 10 minutes - 9.72 MBDo you occasionally see outbursts of anger and frustration in those around you? Maybe you recognize that you exhibit those traits sometimes as well. When we think about tantrums, more often than not we focus on children throwing a tantrum because they aren’t getting an item, attention, or something else they want. It’s no secret that adults get frustrated and annoyed as well. Hopefully, this comes from a place of discontentment with a current situation and not with malicious intent to harm...
65. What Do You Love?
October 15, 2018 09:00 - 8 minutes - 7.73 MBAre you energized every morning when you get to wake up and head to work? We have the opportunity to wake up every morning and start our days off fresh, headed to work to accomplish our roles and responsibilities. Do you love what you get to do? If you are sluggish throughout the day or dread having to wake up in the morning and talk to the people who sit next to you, maybe it’s time to take a deeper look at your current employment. Or maybe it’s time to take a deeper look inside yourself. ...
64. Directional Growth
October 08, 2018 09:00 - 8 minutes - 8.04 MBHow have you had growth in your life? What are you doing to better develop yourself and increase the value that you bring? Or as a follow up to that question, what type of value do you want to bring? We can look at growth from many perspectives. The first thing that may come to mind in the workforce is either growth in your role of a company or increasing your salary or possibly a financial goal for retirement. Along with that same path, we also have qualitative growth in terms of sharin...
63. Managing Your Capacity
October 01, 2018 09:00 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBManaging your Capacity Capacity is all about gaining self-awareness to understand your personal capacity in key areas. Once you have that understanding, then it’s important that you learn how to manage who you are as an individual to work better in understanding with those around you. As you think about managing your capacity, evaluate your current situation to step outside of your thinking to review your processing capacity, your emotional capacity and your work/life volume capacity. Si...
