#2 What Drives Dr. Neha Sangwan
I’m back with Dr Neha Sangwan, our expert for this series on Burnout, and now we’re digging into what drives her in the 7 key areas of life. Neha is an MD, engineer, CEO, communication specialist, and author of POWERED BY ME: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life
and connect with her as intuitiveintelligenceinc.com. I’m eager to hear how Neha has crafted her life to avoid…burnout.
#1 Avoiding Burnout w/ Neha Sangwan | How To Avoid Burnout By Finding Alignment With What You Do
We are taking on the very real and present danger of…burnout. Something that happens when your drive is out of alignment. What you want and why is not resonating. My expert is Dr Neha Sangwan who comes from her own story as a doctor juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to jumpstart her journey of renewal and catalyze her mission to heal humanity. And that is what happens. We keep going and keep doing…until we can’t. That is the risk. If you are on the path to burnout, there will be an end. So we’re here to help you avoid this. Neha’s new book is titled, Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life and connect with her as intuitiveintelligenceinc.com
#4 Human Design w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap up our series on Human Design with my Big Idea, Big Takeaway & Big Action. Human design is another take on personality profiles. Think of Myers Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram. The purpose of these is to understand your natural propensities and predispositions, so you can better understand and leverage yourself and others. I’ll speak more to the benefit in a moment. The difference with Human Design is all the others are self reporting, while Human Design is based on your birth date, time and location.
#3 Human Design w/ Renée Marino | How To Quit Resisting Your Design And Be In Flow
We continue our series on human design, which we kicked off with expert Erin Claire Jones, one of the most influential people in the human design arena. This is part three where I bring in another expert to discuss the issue, and with me is Renée Marino. Many of you know Renée as she’s been a guest on the show and this must be the 5th or so time she’s joined me to co-host.
#2 Human Design | What Drives Erin Claire Jones
This is the What Drives You episode to talk with her through what drives her in all the key areas of life, and how she walks that out. Erin is an expert in Human Design and one of the most well known leaders in the space. She looks at how human design reveals our energetic blueprint and specifically, how it looks at how people are designed to cultivate relationships, parent, make decisions, build businesses, market, communicate, work within teams and so much more.
#1 Discover How You Are Wired To Thrive | Erin Claire Jones
We kick off a series on Human Design. I first experienced it like a personality profile, which I’ve grown up taking, from Myers Briggs, to the Disc profile, to most recently the Enneagram. I greatly appreciate them all in regards to getting insight into my personality predispositions and propensities. But I’ve always struggled with the aspect that they are self-reporting. We choose the answers and I struggle to answer naturally.
#4 Mindset w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap up our series on mindset, specifically looking at what a growth mindset really is and the understanding that most of us are in fact not walking out a growth mindset, but are stuck in performance. This is our The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action episode to distill it all down. I kicked off by talking with Stanford-trained mindset expert Eduardo Briceño, the author of The Performance Paradox: Turning The Power of Mindset Into Action. It’s Eduardo’s research on how we miss the growth mindset that was my catalyst. He is also co-founder of Mindset Works with renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. I then brought on Tom Ziglar, son of famed growth mindset expert Zig Ziglar, and CEO of Ziglar. Ziglar as a company is one of the most premier growth oriented companies in existence. From these talks I’m made greatly aware of how I too get stuck in performance and am not actually growing. So in reviewing all the notes for the actions I want to take toward growth, I came up with the key points, and I want to share them with you.
#3 Mindset w/guest Tom Ziglar | How To Grow Your Belief In Yourself
We continue our series on mindset, and specifically, a growth mindset vs a fix mindset, and how with those of us who believe we have a growth mindset, we are often sabotaging it with a fixed mindset. I kicked off the series with Stanford-trained mindset expert Eduardo Briceño, author of The Performance Paradox: Turning The Power of Mindset Into Action. He is co-founder of Mindset Works with renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. Here I’m with Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar, Inc where this very podcast started. Tom is son of Zig Ziglar and as Ziglar is one of the premier purveyors of a growth mindset on planet earth, there is no one more insightful on the opportunity, and challenges, of a growth mindset, than Tom Ziglar.
#2 What Drives Eduardo Briceño
I’m back with Eduardo Briceño to find out what drives him in the key areas of life. In the previous episode Eduardo and I kicked off this series on mindset, as he is a Stanford-trained mindset expert and author of The Performance Paradox: Turning The Power of Mindset Into Action. He is co-founder of Mindset Works with renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck. You can find Eduardo at briceno.com
