Aug 8, 2023
Adrian Klaphaak, a coaching expert and practitioner of Internal Family Systems therapy, joins Jenny to discuss the concept of the 'boardroom in your brain.' They explore the different voices or parts that influence thoughts and actions, and share personal experiences and homework on identifying these voices. They discuss three different board members in the brain: the one that wants you to work harder, the one that demands surrender, and the one that tries to figure everything out. They delve into internal struggles and self-doubt that entrepreneurs face, as well as explore the presence of a disengaged Buddhist monk in the brain's boardroom and the internal conflict between different aspects of oneself.
