 | Your mindset impacts your resultsposted by Scott Birkhead, Group AdministratorWednesday, September 30th 2009 @ 1:22 PM |
Is your mental state affecting your job hunt?
More and more often, people are asking me about the mental and emotional side of managing their job search. Especially if it's taking a long time, you may start to doubt yourself or your abilities, or suffer through periods of depression.
This week I talk with Julio Blanco, owner of "Envision Lifeworks," a coaching firm dedicated to helping people experience and enjoy what they love in life.
Julio once coached me, and in 40 minutes produced a profound change in my approach to a particularly difficult problem I was facing. He's also coached some local business people I admire very much.
He is articulate, compassionate and very insightful - all things a good coach should be.
Our topic is specifically about "mindset" and how it can hold you back from reaching your goals. There was so much ground covered that I broke this 45 minute interview into two sections.
In part 1 this week we talk about Abundance vs. Scarcity - two mindsets that can dictate what happens in your life.
* What are abundance and scarcity mindsets?
* Why do you want one instead of the other?
* How did you develop the mindset you have?
* Is your mindset rooted in your physical circumstances?
* Why is scarcity self-perpetuating?
* Can you learn an abundance mindset?
* How to be kind to yourself on the journey from one to the other?
Hope you enjoy it - next week you can hear Part 2 of this interview!

- How keeping things simple and personal actually increases the value of the connections you make.
