Episode Summary

Therapy gives much focus to our past, where modern day success coaching is focused primarily on the future. I advocated coaching and had no interest in the past. That is, until I realized I wanted to understand why I kept repeating the same patterns. Today I feel both are needed in order to better understand ourselves. In the field of positive psychology the idea is to look at your past, and while acknowledging the struggles and traumas, look at how they uniquely equip you to have strengths you would not have otherwise.

And then, not just looking at what you want now. What else. But also, what is going right in your world this moment, not just what is going wrong or is missing. I’m revisiting the conversation I had with Niyc Pidgeon author, award winning positive psychologist, and high performance coach. I found Niyc to be an insightful and vivacious thought-leader who has had a profound impact on some big influencers, including Elon Musk.

Niyc’s muse and the focus of her book, Now Is Your Chance, is what perspectives will enable us to continue instead of quit? How will we more healthfully in regards to our perceived commitments? I find Nycs perspective flying in the face of today’s negative media influences that are dragging much of the culture down and feel she gives us a breath of fresh air regarding how to find opportunities from our challenges.
