This past Friday I had the privilege and honor to conduct a workshop on the topic:

“How to Build Unbreakable Confidence and Overcome Imposter Syndrome”

with Lupita Avalos and her Northwestern Mutual sales team.

We discussed the realities of stress, fear, anxiety and our negative internal dialogues that hinder us from doing our best and “pouring it on” each day.

The core question that everyone had to grapple with was, “Am I willing to give all that I have each day in order to build self-respect?”.

What is this important?

Because self image impacts performance!

Life is unpredictable, but our effort and consistent action doesn’t have to be.

This team is dedicated and committed, and you all should be proud of yourselves.

Stay in the fight!

I recently conducted a leadership training for Madison Area Technical College covering the topic:

“Innovation Thinking for Cultural Transformation”.

In our session, we covered the five tenants of Innovation Thinking that include:

1. Critical Problem-Solving
2. Design
3. Critical Thinking
4. Persuasion
5. Synthesis

We had powerful and thought-provoking discussion, and there were several transformative revelations that resulted from our time together.

A small shift in awareness can open up an entirely new world of possibilities, and this is the work that we love to do!

If you and your organization have a desire to reset the group-think patterns within your leadership team in order, let’s talk!

As I reflect on the last three years of being in business, all I can say is Thank You Lord.

This past Friday I was a presenter at the ASQ - World Headquarters Innovate for Excellence Summit at Northern Illinois University, and man was it a great time!

I covered the topic "Healing Trauma to Create Workplace Success", and the summit attendees were great because they asked thought-provoking questions and helped to foster an interactive atmosphere.

I want to thank ASQ for the invitation, the accommodations and the opportunity to drive impact across the Quality industry!

I look forward to partnering with you again soon!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Happy 7th wedding an anniversary to my wife !!!

Cheers to many more years of joy, health and prosperity!!

Today I choose faith.

Today I choose confidence.

Today, I ignore any negative or fearful idea that would suggest that I cannot or will not.

I am deserving of all things good, and I choose abundance, peace, joy and all things positive.

Life is FOR ME, never against me.

This is a reminder to me and everyone that reads this today and everyday moving forward.

Faith works when you work it.

About two weeks ago, my son William had his first day of Montessori school.

He walked in the door confidently and shed no tears. In fact, he went in there and had a blast!

He is a cool customer like his dad, but at 2 1/2 years old he’d get a pass if he was emotional.

As a father, I realize that my baby is starting to grow up, and I’m good with it.

HE IS MY FUTURE, MY “SHALL BE”, and it is my responsibility to help guide him through the many transitions of life over the years.

Transition #1 successful big boy!

Lately my family and I have been FOCUSED ON FUN AND EXPLORATION.

We live in a world of beauty and wonder, but can we see it amidst a life of GO GO GO!? The answer is NO.

In order to enjoy life, we are finding that as adults we must stop “ADULTING” and slow down enough mentally and emotionally to see life with the SINGLE EYE OF THE SPIRIT.

This means that life is always leaving clues, but are we picking up the breadcrumbs?

For us this meant deciding recently that we REALLY needed to mix things up on the weekend by simply having more fun with no preconceived notions on what that needed to mean.

I encourage you all to take some time this week to plan a “fun” outing for this weekend before Friday.

Then, take some to plan one fun activity for the next 3 weeks (to make a full month of fun).

You’d be surprised how the simple expectation of fun each week will increase your energy levels and put a smile on your face and in your heart.

Give yourself the permission to relax and enjoy life starting this week! It could be life changing.

I am so thankful for all of the blessings that are flowing into my (and my family’s) life.

We are aligning with the right organizations and people that believe in what we do and vice versa.

We are in the process of manifesting our dreams, and life is better than ever because we have become better than ever.

There is a mantra that I’d like to share with you that I believe has influenced this quantum leap in our outcomes.

The mantra is:

“EVERYDAY AND IN EVERY WAY, MY LIFE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER”

Speak this over yourself 10 times when you wake up in the morning and 10 times before bed.

This is one way to prophecy your future at its highest expression, and it only takes 2 minutes!

Have a great weekend everyone!

This past weekend my family and I drove down to Chicago from Milwaukee to explore the city and get a change of scenery.

We went to the Shedd Aquarium, enjoyed some great food at a few downtown restaurants, and (most importantly) reconnected with some great friends!

If I’m honest, this was a weekend that our family NEEDED.

With all of the hustle and bustle of Q1 of this year, it was time for the entire family to enjoy a vacation.

EVEN WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL, IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE SOME TIME AWAY TO REFLECT AND RECHARGE.

As a Mental Fitness coach and trainer, I must be energetic, inspired and creative because that what my role requires.

I also wear the hats of father, husband, son, uncle, etc., and these role require a certain level of vitality to be effective as well (especially the first two roles).

It’s not always easy to pull away from the normal routine, but ONLY YOU KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO REST AND RECHARGE.

I encourage you all to listen to the small still voice within when it says “ok, it’s time to slow down!”

You’ll never regret being proactive with your own mental and physical wellness, that’s for sure.

SHOW YOURSELF THAT YOU (and those you love) ARE IMPORTANT!

I had the pleasure of conducting an in-person lunch workshop with Madison Area Technical College staff earlier this week, and it was an awesome experience!

For this session, our topic of discussion was “Healing Trauma to Create Workplace Success”, which always creates a safe space for open and honest conversation around the mental emotional barriers that slow down our healing journey.

We have all experienced traumatic events and situations in our lives, but IT’S NOT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US, IT IS HOW WE THINK AND FEEL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT IMPACTS US THE MOST.

I have seen so many people come to important revelations about their life’s narrative (that are negative and need to change) in our work, and this workshop was no exception!

WE ALL NEED HEALING in some way, and I think most of us can agree with that.

The question is, are you ready to face your traumas so that you can begin to process them?

Once you begin healing mentally, emotionally and physically, your life will be transformed and expanded (into higher levels of consciousness) forever! There is no going back to the old you (identity)!

IT’S TIME TO GET UNSTUCK!

WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU AND YOUR TEAM DO JUST THAT!

I also want to give a special thank you to Damira Grady, Ph.D., LPC Amy Kue and the Madison College team for giving me the opportunity to impact lives! Thank you for your hard work and commitment to the Madison community!

MindBusiness LLC. is healing hearts and minds one human at a time, and we are only getting started!

This past Friday, we hosted our third in-person workshop for the year entitled:

“I Am the One: How to Build Underbreakable Confidence for Work and Life”.

Our session was powerful because all of our attendees were able to see the practical applications and saw opportunities for improvement within their own lives.

To see people receive clarity and revelation in our 2-hour sessions is always a joy, because I know that I AM NOT DOING THIS WORK ALONE.

God is within me amd all around me, and He gets the glory when He shows up. I am only doing my part.

The question to the final picture which is our whiteboard that we use to capture feedback from our small group breakout sessions was:

“How would I show up to work differently if I had no fear”.

Each team’s response was captured on the whiteboard, but hopefully the responses catch your mind and heart by causing you to reflect on the same question this morning.

How would you show up differently to work if YOU had no fear?

If you believe that this session(or others like it) could benefit your team or organization, REACH OUT TO ME TODAY SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER!!!

Have a great week everyone!

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF “GENERATION SHIFTING” SUCCESS IN YOUR LIFETIME?

Is something telling you that YOU ARE THE ONE to manifest this reality?

Does that scare the crap out of you?

In our workshop on Friday 3/24 from 8–10 am at EXPANSIVE Wauwatosa entitled:

“I am the one: How to Build Unbreakable Confidence for Work and Life”

We will address this fear by giving you (and your team) the MENTAL AND TANGIBLE TOOLS TO TAP INTO YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL.

In this workshop we will cover:

1. The top 5 ways to build the deep, abiding confidence that is needed to crush fear and maximize your life's potential (personally and professionally).

2. The top 5 "diseases of attitude" that can (if allowed to) sabotage all of the good things (habits, disciplines) that you start in life.

Most of us have been programmed to accept what life gives us, but that kind of complacency has no place in the life of a winner.

YOU WERE BORN TO SUCCEED AND TO WIN, and it is time for you to unleash your inner warrior. It's time to fight for the future that you know you deserve.

It's time that YOU AND YOUR TEAM (organization) learn the key behaviors and disciplines of successful people (in any endeavor), as there is nothing new under the sun.

We look forward to seeing you at this powerful event on 3/24!
