Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Wendy Salajka discuss:

The sages and saboteurs in our lives and how they affect what we do.
How Positive Intelligence is relevant to running a law firm.
Mental health in the legal industry.
The 5 powers of the sage and building the human connection first.

Key Takeaways:

Our brains are not reliable. Sometimes they are for us, sometimes they are against us, and, in an effort to protect us, sometimes they hurt us in their attempts.
Giving into the thoughts of your saboteurs is not helping you, even if they feel like they are what is driving you to success. Your saboteurs are never right.
Your negative emotions are one-second indicators to course correct, not a space to live in and have drive you forward.
There is good and bad in everything we do. Even if that good is microscopic, it can be enough to power us through anything.

"The more you accumulate the positive, the more you realize that this thing that I'm stuck in isn't going to last forever. But also, you build up a database in your brain so that when you are going through difficult times, you know you can get through it." — Wendy Salajka
