Get Yourself Optimized

If you've been tuning in to Get Yourself Optimized for quite a while now, you'll be familiar with some of the more woo-woo topics I like to talk about with guests. Today's episode with Mark Nelson may be considered woo-woo by many. But, I do believe our consciousness exists beyond our physical bodies. Mark is a psychic medium with clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient abilities. He has the rare ability to see and hear messages from friends and family who have crossed over to the other side. I invite you to suspend disbelief for this episode, because it can, and may hit home for you, I promise.

Anger is an emotion we've all felt and dealt with. It's human nature to feel upset if something doesn't sit well with us. This is a normal occurrence we're all bound to experience. What's important is how we deal with anger especially when our spouses, loved ones, or partners are involved. In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Harriet Lerner. Harriet is one of our nation's most respected relationship experts. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles on the psychology of women and family relationships and the author of 12 books. Her books include the NY Times bestseller, The Dance of Anger, which has sold over 3 million copies with over 35 foreign editions. Tune in for a conversation filled with valuable relationship advice.

Public speaking is a huge revenue-generating activity. For me, it drove eight figures over the last 23 years. The one caveat is that for it to be effective it must be done right.

Advanced presentation coach, Pat Quinn is here to share how to make presentations and speaking easy through clarity and speaking your audiences' language.

Sometimes running a business can take over your life, especially if you built it from the ground up. It doesn't have to be that way. Many of us become entrepreneurs because we want to steer clear of the 9 to 5 job. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But if you're working hours on end on your business, technically, you're still treating it like your job. My guest, David Finkel, is here to help entrepreneurs find their way to a healthy work-life balance. David is the co-author of SCALE, and a Wall Street Journal and Business Week bestselling author of 12 business books.

Personality assessments such as Kolbe, Myers Briggs, DISC, and StrengthsFinder have been proven beneficial for companies and individuals seeking to improve their understanding of who they are at a deeper level. One of the assessments we're going to talk about today is the PRINT Assessment. Not familiar with it? I invited Debra Levine to give you all the details. Debra got started with Dr. Paul Hertz in their early work when they realized there was an indisputable connection between motivation and performance. They actually proved scientifically that many of the "blockers" to improving individual and organizational performance were rooted in people's underlying motivational traits. I really love the work she's doing and excited for you to hear about it. Stay tuned! The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/251
