Episode 226: EwK226 - Lynn Swain - the impact of self-trust on our ability to move past fear and think clearly

Nov 28, 2023

I met Lynn on LinkedIn through Carol Constant, whom some of you may remember from previous podcast episodes. 

Lynn Swain is a  TEDx Speaker, Trust Activator, and finalist in the 2023 Woman of Stature Awards for Coaching and Mentoring. She is the founder of the Symbiota Leadership Institute.

Lynn holds a Master of Science degree in Neuroscience of Leadership from Middlesex University, and as a result,  offers a distinctive perspective on trust and performance. Her recent TEDx talk, 'A Trust Mindshift to Create a Trust Revolution,' delves into the transformative power of self-trust. Lynns impactful interventions and talks are dedicated to leaving audiences with game-changing tools. 

We talked about:

* Lynn's recent TED talk and how it felt to prepare for it.
* What's actually going on in our brain as we move from the fight or flight reaction to a more confident and focused state.
*  The impact of self-trust and empathy on our ability to move past fear and think clearly.
* How to get past our insecurity or the fear reaction that comes up when we try something new.
* The TRUST model and How to redirect our attention and give our brain access to the resources that we need to focus and succeed.
