HTL 070: Get Out Of Your Own Way – Free yourself from habitual, negative self-talk, with Cheyne Towers

HTL 070: Get Out Of Your Own Way – Free yourself from habitual, negative self-talk, with Cheyne Towers

Podcast
Although there are many practical things that must be learned and completed in adulthood, personal development and learning how to be your best self is an ongoing refinement that lays a foundation and sets the tone for how you approach everything in your world. We create habits in life. Everything we do, and how we are, is a habit. How we walk, our quirks, our posture, what we eat, vices, virtues. They become who we are because we practice these things over and over again.  And one of the most destructive habits that virtually everyone carries to some degree is habitual, negative self-talk.  Most people do not even realize that they are doing it. It ranges from seemingly harmless statements like, “Ugh, I’m so bad at math”  to really detrimental words of self-degradation. Perhaps…

HTL 069: Speak and Be Heard; Effective communication in the workplace and beyond, with Karen Brown Tyson

HTL 069: Speak and Be Heard; Effective communication in the workplace and beyond, with Karen Brown Tyson

Podcast
How well do you communicate with others? Are you able to define what you want and express that clearly? Or do you throw out some words and hope the other person interprets them as you meant? I am going to say that the root of a lot of problems, discord, drama, confusion, etc is poor communication. Effective communication is a life skill.  To master this skill you must learn to put intention into it, remove emotion from it, and know what outcome you ultimately want.  And you must learn to listen as well.  It is not just a skill, it is an art, and there are tools and techniques you can use to help you become better at this. Today you will be hearing from Karen Brown Tyson who is a PR…

HTL 067: Create a Positive Bond with your Child Through Sports, with Gustavo Netto

HTL 067: Create a Positive Bond with your Child Through Sports, with Gustavo Netto

Podcast
Some of you are parents or want to be parents, and you want to be the best parent you can be. I have talked about parenthood before and ways to be a better parent and connect better with your child.  One of those ways is through sports.  As with all aspects of parenting, interacting with your child through sports is most beneficial and joyful when it is approached with intention and purpose, and respect for your child and everyone involved. I have seen people who don’t think about that. This is the parent who sort of commandeers the sport and it becomes more about the parent than the child.  As a result, this lack of awareness can cause a rift in the parent-child relationship. But with a little direction and…

HTL 064: OMG..I Am Tired; a talk about avoiding burnout.

Podcast
Today I want to discuss the importance of slowing down before you run yourself into the ground.  I admit it. I have been running pretty hard for the last couple of months and it has finally caught up with me. It used to be worse. I have run myself into the ground more than once. It wasn’t fun. Rather than recognize my body and mind's cry for help, I was forced to stop.  Admitting that you are tired can be a big challenge for many. It always was for me. But I am learning and changing now. At least now, I can slow it down before it takes me down. Better late than never, right? What about you? Can you relate to this? I think this is a topic that resonates with…

HTL 061: The Importance of Emotional Health in Ending Chronic Stress and Burnout, with Dr. Karthik Ramanan

Podcast
Today's topic is about the importance of emotional health and how crucial a role it plays in your life, your life choices, your perception about yourself, and your outlook on life.  Stress plays a significant role in all our lives, but it is often particularly dominant in high-achieving entrepreneurs and professionals. This stress very often leads to burnout, and Dr. K knows exactly how that feels. He is currently a physician, but before this, he was on Wall Street for 8 years, a VP at Goldman Sachs, and before that a double major at Cornell University, an Ivy League school, in biology and economics, no less. That is so impressive! And from the outside, it looked like he really had it together. But, behind the scenes, things were falling apart. …
