Deep dives
The importance of upleveling gauges in life
In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the significance of paying attention to the 'dials' in our life, similar to how we pay attention to the dials in a vehicle. The speaker suggests that as we uplevel and strive to become the person we want to be, it is essential to uplevel our gauges as well. By defining and tracking metrics for success, such as trusting oneself and making decisions, we can gauge our progress and ensure that we are on the right path. The speaker also highlights the value of courage and honesty in facing fear and overcoming limiting beliefs.
Creating the metrics for success
The podcast episode explores the idea of defining one's own metrics for success and how this can lead to personal growth. The speaker encourages listeners to pay attention to their instincts or 'stirrings' and act on them, practicing to talk themselves into taking action rather than talking themselves out of it. The speaker suggests utilizing tools like a decision book and a writing exercise to reflect on past decisions and challenge ingrained shoulds and societal expectations. By doing so, individuals can identify patterns, develop courage, and create their own metrics for success.
The importance of self-reflection and acknowledging inherited fears
The podcast episode highlights the impact of ancestral and societal fears on our lives and emphasizes the value of self-reflection. The speaker encourages listeners to identify and challenge the fears that have been passed down through generations. By writing down fears and examining if they are actually true, individuals can gain perspective and separate themselves from limiting beliefs. The episode also underscores the significance of acknowledging and celebrating moments of being a catalyst for change, while also recognizing that being a catalyst for change every day is not necessary. Self-reflection and self-compassion are key to navigating personal and professional growth.
When we get in our car, we pay attention to the dials in front of us. Is the check engine light on? How's the tire pressure? Do I need gas? Or we don't pay attention... I got a speeding ticket the other day because I didn't keep my eyes on the speedometer.
In this episode from our top 10, I am coaching an extraordinary woman called Nikki. She's a diversity consultant, a coach and a musician.
And she is hitting a ceiling on the level of her success that she perceives as a tension between who she thinks she is and who she is becoming.
What's actually happening is that she is up-leveling her life and business — but she is still living based on some outdated measures of success.
I help Nikki create some new metrics for success. As you listen in, I invite you to create some new metrics for your own next level of success.
Enjoy! Love. Rich
