Live. Breathe. Believe.

We love to celebrate success, but when it comes to failure, we feel anxious and stressed. Failure can unlock insights and learnings that can enhance our experience. It requires honesty and clear expectations and goals along the way. 

Fred Samanta, a coach and friend in Zurich, digs into this topic with me through personal examples that we hope you can relate to - an awesome discussion that I'm excited to share as we look to 'destigmatize' failure and show how it can be rewarding. Crazy, right?

Know you to be you!

How do we handle being comfortable being uncomfortable? From jumping into a pool for the first time or engaging in a simple conversation, discomfort can trigger anxiety and stress.

I experienced this from a young age with family and friends,  and it reached a new level when I entered open water during my first 70.3 triathlon event. I could not throttle my emotions. 

Fredrik Samanta, a coach in Zurich and a close friend, discusses this topic with me. We discuss personal examples, explore the sensations of discomfort and identify a few ways to address to embrace and overcome this 'unnerving feeling' that soon passes:

1. Be aware - of yourself and your surroundings
2. Breathe - through the moment
3. Slow - your pace and get closer to the present
4. Reset - to reconnect with your surroundings
5. Grow - by reflecting & understanding (e.g. journalize) your responses in the moment

As individuals, we would ensure that others do not take away from our own happiness. 

Why then would we allow our own self to deplete our energy levels? We have a choice to take control back rather than give control to shame & guilt that can shift us down from our ‘Set point’ - an internal baseline that we should strive to be above at all times. 

By practicing self-forgiveness and loving our own self, we can release ourselves from shame & guilt and unleash energy to spring us forward!

I’m joined by Indira Kennedy, an expert on Conscious Leadership. We come together to explore this idea and leverage personal examples at home and work to illustrate the power of self-forgiveness by talking through the following areas:

1. Definition of Self - the Wise voice 
2. Internal Voice - Impact of feelings of shame & guilt that drain energy
3. Personal example of shame and guilt 
4. Encouraging Self-Forgiveness to find balance between Self-Righteousness & Self-Deprication
5. Unleash energy and move forward

Our mind is powerful and susceptible to negative thoughts. The negativity can create hurdles that impede our mental, physical and spiritual progress. 

How do these thoughts manifest and be removed to shift us to a positive state of mind?

Fredrik Samanta, an experienced professional coach based in Zurich, joins me as we discuss this further and identify techniques that we can leverage, including:

1. Improving the ratio of Positive to Negative Thoughts
2. 3Ds: Doubt, Distract, Deflect
3. Overcome Triggers by Pushing Through Mental Barriers

Join us as we reflect through personal examples.

Growth mindsets can be powerful and we each have different appetites for growth at various points in time. 

Growth can come from within or through feedback from others. I've recently found conversations with others to be challenging - from dreaded lectures to two way dialogs. How do we overcome this? 

Fredrik Samanta, an experienced professional coach based in Zurich coaches me "live" by asking questions and talking me through the best way to set up and empower healthy dialogs. Four things to keep in mind:

1. Straight talk - no B.S. 
2. Listen with genuine intent
3. Build a trusting relationship
4. Offer space (before and after)

A healthy dialog can unlock and empower growth through positive intent. The result: POWERFUL CONVERSATIONS.
