Life is Lived in our Stories

“We live inside the stories we tell ourselves. Some build walls, others open doors.”

In the work I do, I see it every day—people feeling stuck, not because they’re lacking skill, drive or opportunity, but because they’re unknowingly living inside a story that no longer fits. These stories don’t always shout. Often, they hum quietly in the background, sounding like helpful advice: “Stay small, it’s safer.” “Don’t ask for too much.” “You’re only valued if you achieve.”

Some of these stories begin in childhood. Others take shape as adults during moments of heightened stress—after betrayal, loss, burnout, redundancy, illness, heartbreak. Our nervous system kicks in, and in an attempt to protect us, it weaves a story that helps us get through. “Don’t trust anyone.” “You’re better off alone.” “Keep going, no matter what.”
And at the time, those stories are adaptive. They keep us safe. They help us survive.

But then the moment passes. Life changes. We evolve. And the story… doesn’t.

That’s something I’ve personally experienced too.

After navigating a number of personal relationships that ended due to abandonment and betrayal, I came to realise it wasn’t so much about losing trust in others—it was about losing trust in myself.

I began to doubt my ability to make sound decisions, to sense red flags early, and to honour what I felt deep down. This new narrative flowed seemlessy across to my professional life too.

But when I really got curious, I could trace that back further.

Growing up, I didn’t always receive the kind of emotional support a child needs to develop strong internal signals. My parents did their best, and I have deep compassion for them, but there were gaps. And from those gaps, a part of me developed an intense drive for connection. Not in a dysfunctional way—but in a way that made me rush. I often moved into relationships quickly, desperate to feel emotionally held. I didn’t realise I was overriding my own inner knowing because of a quiet belief running beneath the surface: “I need connection. I need to be chosen. And I need it now.”

I’ve since done deep inner work to shift that pattern.

Over 20 years ago it was EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) that helped me meet the younger, tender parts of myself and release the emotional charge stored in my body. With tapping, I could gently calm the nervous system and start letting go of the urgency, the shame, the fear. I began to rebuild trust—not just with people around me, but with myself. And over time it changed everything. Today I notice the urge to rush. So I paused I choose with clarity. And I became someone I could count on.

Over the last two years, I’ve also been practicing Internal Family Systems (IFS) as part of my own growth. The insights have been profound. One core belief I discovered was: “I can do this alone.” That part of me formed in my early twenties, during a time when I had to make some incredibly tough decisions without much support, and with some outdated beliefs that influenced what I would do. Being strong and independent was how I started to cope with the messiness of life.

But as I got older, that belief started to cut me off. I stopped asking for help. I stopped letting people in. I didn’t even realise I was doing it—it was just the air I breathed and I thought it was a stoic strength, a sign of true independence.

Through IFS, I met that part of me with compassion. I saw the strength it carried, and I thanked it. But I also gently let it know: You don’t have to do this all alone anymore. And from that point on, my life became more connected. I started reaching out. I built richer relationships. I let people support me. And it felt good.

This is what I mean when I say we live inside the stories we tell ourselves.

And if those stories are outdated or built in survival mode, they can quietly build walls around our potential and around the people we share life with.

But here’s the empowering part: those stories can be rewritten.

Using tools like IFS, EFT and even journaling, you can begin exploring the roots of your inner narrative. You can identify the parts of you that are still trying to protect you—even when you no longer need protecting in the same way. And you can gently help those parts update their beliefs, making space for more aligned, supportive stories to emerge.

If you’re ready to explore this yourself, here are a few gentle steps:

First, notice the narrative.

When you feel stuck, anxious, or reactive—pause and ask: What story am I telling myself right now? Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it from the present moment—or from a past version of me? (These are great journaling prompts)

Then, tune into the part that’s holding the story.

Where do you feel it in your body?
What emotion is there?
You might even ask, in your mind, “What are you afraid would happen if you didn’t hold this belief?” Just listen.

You don’t have to fix anything. Curiosity alone creates space for change.

If you’re interested in EFT, there are plenty of great resources to guide you—I’ve even recorded a podcast with an EFT expert that walks through the basics. It’s a simple yet powerful way to gently shift the emotional charge behind limiting beliefs. You can catch it here https://youtu.be/8y_UTlaO-Ew?si=tlybdWkkPK-4lk4y (or reach out for a step by step guide)

And if IFS speaks to you, you might like to begin naming your parts—just noticing them as they show up in daily life. You might hear yourself think, “A part of me feels like a failure,” or “A part of me is terrified of rejection.” That’s a beautiful beginning.

Meet those parts with kindness. Thank them. Ask them what they need.

My coaching clients often benefit from this work too. Because I’ve walked through these stories myself, I continue to draw on tools like EFT and IFS with clients when they’re needed—not as a fixed formula, but as a responsive, compassionate way to support real transformation.

These approaches, and the deeper philosophy behind them, are also thoughtfully woven through the programs I deliver—both in organisations and to the general public—because I believe that understanding the stories we live by is foundational to lasting change and living a truly fulfilling life.

You don’t need to fight your story. You just need to listen to it, understand it, and then lovingly choose to write a new one.

You are not broken.

You are brilliantly adaptive.

And you hold the pen now.

Write well!

Guiding Teams to Success in People Management

You glance around your desk, a sense of overwhelm washing over you. The emails pile higher, deadlines loom, and simmering tensions between team members threaten to boil over.

Does this scenario feel all too familiar? 

Leading a team can be incredibly rewarding, but managing diverse personalities, navigating conflicts, and fostering a productive environment can feel like an impossible juggling act.

A recent Gallup study found that a staggering 85% of employees worldwide are not engaged at work.

Yikes!

That's a significant productivity drain and a clear sign that traditional management styles might be missing the mark.


What if there was a secret weapon you could use to transform your team from frustrated to flourishing?

A skill that unlocks creativity fosters collaboration, and allows you to navigate the complexities of people management confidently?

Enter mental complexity. It's the magic ingredient that separates good managers from great ones. It's the ability to see multiple perspectives, adapt to changing situations, and think critically – all essential skills for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of today's workforce.

Intrigued?

Keep reading to discover how you can unlock mental complexity within yourself and your team, turning people management from a source of stress to a source of success.


What Is Mental Complexity, And Why Does It Matter?

Mental complexity is the ability to think and act more sophisticatedly and adaptively. It is the ability to understand and appreciate different perspectives, contexts, and systems and to respond to them effectively. Mental complexity is the key to unlocking your leadership potential and achieving your personal and professional goals.
According to a study by Korn Ferry, leaders with higher mental complexity are more likely to be successful, innovative, and influential than those with lower levels. They are also more likely to create a positive and productive team culture where their team members can grow, learn, and perform at their best.
 
So, how do you become a people management maestro, fostering a thriving and innovative team environment? Let's break it down into a few key steps:

1. Know Your Team (Inside and Out!)

People aren't widgets on a production line. Each team member brings unique strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. Invest time in getting to know them – not just their job titles, but their preferred work styles, career goals, and even their sense of humour (a little team bonding goes a long way!)

Action Step: Schedule regular one-on-one meetings to delve deeper than project updates.

2. Embrace Transparency and Communication

Information silos are the enemy of a collaborative team. Foster open communication by sharing project updates, company goals, and challenges. When team members feel informed and valued, they're more likely to go the extra mile.

Action Step:
  Hold regular team meetings with an open discussion format. Encourage questions, concerns, and – yes – even a healthy dose of debate!

3. Empower, Don't Micromanage

Micromanagement is the creativity killer. Trust your team members and give them the autonomy to own their tasks. This fosters a sense of responsibility and allows individuals to leverage their strengths.

Action Step:
Delegate tasks based on individual strengths and provide clear goals, but give your team the freedom to find solutions.

4. Celebrate Wins (Big and Small!)

Recognition is a powerful motivator. Don't wait for the big promotion to celebrate achievements. A simple "thank you" or public acknowledgement can go a long way in boosting morale and inspiring continued excellence.

Action Step:
  Create a "kudos board" where team members can recognize each other's contributions.

5. Embrace Continuous Learning (For Yourself and Your Team)

The world of work is constantly evolving. The best teams are lifelong learners eager to adapt and acquire new skills. As a leader, it's crucial to model this behaviour.

Action Step:
  Dedicate time for your professional development. Encourage your team to attend workshops, conferences, or online courses relevant to their roles.

Ready to Level Up Your People Management Skills?

Building mental complexity doesn't happen overnight, but it's worth taking. Blue Chip Minds offers programs like  Leadership Accelerator, The Art of People Management, and Future Ready Leaders Toolkit to help individuals and teams build the skills they need to thrive in a complex world.

Feeling a little uneasy? Don't worry! Investing in your mental complexity and becoming a people management maestro is always possible. Contact us today and watch your team flourish!

The Self Led Human: How a disciplined life sets you free.

24/8/2024

Contributed by: Georgia Ellis

Have you ever known what to do to experience the results you want but somehow you just can’t do what you know you need to do?
 
The thing is….
 
I know you have… because I have too.
 
I have spent 20+ years gathering all sorts of information from books, podcasts, training, seminars and experts, a hellova lot of knowledge, yet for the most part… I do nothing with it… a potential waste of my time and money.
 
Having had a fascination, and also worked, in the human potential and personal effectiveness space for the same amount of time I have witnessed first-hand how participants of my programs, coaching clients and I have all struggled with this often frustrating phenomena.
 
But, I have also noticed an anomaly…
 
It seems that the people with high levels of self-discipline are the ones who take the information they gather and do something with it… going on to achieve success across different aspects of their life such as improved physical health, more resilience and better personal and professional relationships.
 
And once I understood this anomaly… I began to put it to use, I decided, that if I wasn’t going to commit to putting into action the things I learn, I wasn’t going to waste my time (or money) on gathering more information that may make me sound smart… but it sure as hell wouldn’t make me wise!
 
My decisions had to be backed with a high level of self-discipline.
 
Many years ago one of my mentors provided me with a description of self -disciple that changed the game for me personally. He said “Self-discipline is the ability to give yourself a command and then follow it”
 
Self-discipline is also a key component to building trust, you’ve likely heard it plenty of times… “do what you say you will do” – but when it comes to self-discipline its actually a conversation that occurs in the safety, and privacy, of your head, where no one else knows what you are attempting to commit to, effectively know one will know if you fail… except you.

Self-discipline is the ability to trust yourself to act, even when no one else knows what you are striving towards.
 
If I couldn’t commit to the commands I gave myself to adopt new and improved ways of being – then my personal and professional goals were going to be relegated to the realm of wishful thinking,…
 
and I’d stay stuck right where I was!
 
While the principle is simple in theory, I know from personal experience that it can be profoundly challenging in practice.

For those of you navigating the business world, attempting to meet objectives, manage a team or prevent burnout, mastering self-discipline can make the difference between thriving and burning out, between been trapped in a cycle of drama and being empowered, between mediocrity and excellence, and between influencing not only personal performance but also the success of entire teams and organisations.

Understanding Self-Discipline

At its core, self-discipline involves having clear goals, making deliberate choices, and consistently acting in alignment with those decisions. It’s about resisting the temptation to deviate from your path, regardless of distractions or difficulties.

The concept is elegantly captured in the adage: “Discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you don’t want to do it.” 

I have noticed that some people (those less effective in achieving goals) can easily put off doing what’s required to get to where they want to go – as Don Sula said – “It’s the start that stops most people.”

The Knowing-Doing Gap

One of the significant challenges in achieving self-discipline is the knowing-doing gap, a term popularised by Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton in their influential book, “The Knowing-Doing Gap: How Smart Companies Turn Knowledge into Action.” This gap refers to the disconnect between consciously knowing what needs to be done (information held at a conscious level) and actually doing it (a role of our subconscious mind).

For most of us this gap can be a formidable barrier to success.
 
In most instances, we are well aware of what we need to do to achieve our goals. We attend seminars, read books, and develop strategic plans. However, translating this knowledge into consistent action is where many falter. This gap can stem from various factors, including fear of failure, low levels of self-awareness, lack of confidence, not understanding how the mind works, and the allure of short-term rewards over long-term benefits.

Overcoming the Knowing-Doing Gap with Self-Discipline

Bridging the knowing-doing gap requires a concerted effort to cultivate self-discipline. Here are some strategies to enhance your self-discipline and ensure that your actions align with your knowledge and goals:
 
1.   Get clear on what it is you want and why: Ask yourself questions like, “What is It I really want in this situation?”, “Is this what I want or is it what I think others want me to achieve or who others want me to be?”,  “What will achieving this goal bring to my life/career?” or “How will reaching this goal impact my long-term happiness and fulfillment?”, “How grateful would my future self be if I set out on this goal today?”, “How will others benefit when I achieve my goal?”

A goal that you are emotionally connected to often provides the intrinsic motivation to get started.
 
2. Develop a Routine: Consistent routines and habits can reduce the mental energy required to make decisions, making it easier to stay disciplined. And when your intrinsic motivation begins to wane, any well-honed practices that are now routines will run on autopilot, requiring very little (if any) self-motivation.

3.   Prioritise Tasks: Set yourself up for success with written to-do lists. It may sound basic, but it really works. When we write down tasks the night before, our subconscious mind processes them while we sleep, often leading to fresh ideas and solutions by morning. This mental preparation helps us wake up ready to tackle the day with greater focus and effectiveness, ensuring that we hit the ground running and accomplish our goals more efficiently. Remember to focus on high-priority tasks that align with your long-term goals. Use tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to differentiate between urgent and important tasks, ensuring that your efforts are directed toward activities that yield the best results.

4.   Practice Mindfulness and Self-Awareness: Mindfulness practices can help you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions, reducing impulsivity and enhancing self-control. Techniques such as meditation and journaling can foster greater self-awareness and discipline.

5.   Hold Yourself Accountable: Establish accountability mechanisms, such as regular self-reflection, peer reviews, or mentorship. Being accountable to others can reinforce your commitment to disciplined action.

6.   Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity: Fear of failure often paralyses action. Reframe failure as a valuable learning experience and an integral part of the growth process. This mindset shift can reduce anxiety and enhance your willingness to take disciplined action.

Self-Discipline and Flow

I bet you’ve felt it before, those times when you feel like you are performing like a superhuman… you’re devouring your to do list in record time , fresh ideas are emerging, information you have gathered is effortlessly finding a home in your work and time has no meaning to you, Oh and did I mention that  it feels amazing!
 
This optimal state is known in the circles I move in as “flow”.
 
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned psychologist, studied this and found that you reach flow when you have both self-discipline and the ability to let go, or surrender.
 
When you practice self-discipline, you set yourself up to enter this flow state more often. Discipline helps you start tasks and stay on track, while surrender helps you enjoy the process without worrying too much. At the intersection of discipline and surrender, you can find flow, which is a sure fire way to increase your personal effectiveness!

The Role of Self-Discipline in Leadership

If you manage or lead people, modelling self-discipline sets a powerful example for your team. When your team members observe you consistently following through on commitments, prioritising long-term goals over short-term gains, and maintaining a disciplined approach to work, they are more likely to adopt similar behaviours. This creates a culture of discipline within the organization, driving collective success.
 
You can foster self-discipline in you teams by providing clear expectations (goals), linking those goals to what matters to them, offering support and resources, and recognising and rewarding disciplined behaviour. Encouraging a growth mindset and resilience in the face of challenges can also help team members develop their self-discipline.

The Hidden Benefit of Self-Discipline that Few People Know.

A few weeks ago, I caught up with a business owner who shared his lack of good routines and he asked whether my practices changed when I traveled for work.

I said "No they don’t…"

He then commented on how disciplined I was with my morning routine and life in general (what I like to call my not negotiable’s)

I simply replied…

"It’s easy to be disciplined when you realise it gives you more freedom".

As a coach and facilitator on all things personal and leadership effectiveness, I have witnessed many a person who lacks discipline and their life and work is riddled with stress, chaos, burn out and health issues…

If you want to perform or feel better, I suggest you start falling in love with a disciplined life! Start by determining your ‘Not Negotiables’ - and then stick to them – no matter what, at first it will require a big dose of will-power, and over time those regular practices will become who you are!

In today’s fast-paced business world, the ability to stay disciplined is a game-changer.

Here’s why discipline is your key to more freedom:

Achieve Your Goals: Discipline helps you consistently reach your goals, paving the way for growth and fulfillment.

Master Your Time: Effective time management through discipline eliminates last-minute stress and gives you more time to do what you love.

Reduce Stress: Order and predictability reduce stress, allowing you to focus on the demands of life with a clear mind.

Form Healthy Habits: Turning positive actions into automatic habits frees up mental energy for creative and strategic thinking.

Boost Confidence: Consistent discipline builds self-confidence, empowering you to tackle new challenges and lead yourself with a sense of assurance.

Over to You

Self-discipline is a vital attribute for bridging the gap between knowing and doing. 

Discipline really is the bridge between goals and accomplishment - and you need to build that bridge if you want a better life!.

Why I don't jump out of bed in the morning

How to Effortlessly Unleash Your Creativity and Insight

Contributed by: Georgia Ellis
Getting out of bed usually takes me a while, and I used to think this was a bad thing. Why aren’t I jumping out of bed like everyone else?

I had pretty good sleep hygiene practices and usually get between 7-8 hours of sleep… surely I can get up straight away… but I couldn’t… I even began to feel a little guilty at my slower start to the day, especially when people like Mel Robbins (American podcast host, author, motivational speaker, and former lawyer) devoted an entire book to “The 5 Second Rule” - a simple technique to encourage us to leap out of the sweet warm comfort of our beds and go get our goals…

Robbins used it to help herself get out of bed, back in her tough days. She found that if she counted backwards; “5-4-3-2-1 and ACTION!”, she would stop making excuses and jump right up.

I won’t deny that having a hard time waking up in the morning could be the result of the natural effects of sleep inertia, your sleep habits and schedule, or sometimes other conditions…

but in my case, there was something else going on, something that seemed to leave me feeling inspired and set me up for the day…

I noticed that if I lingered in bed for roughly 10-15 minutes upon waking, something magical began to happen…

Ideas and solutions would bubble up from within my psyche… ideas for programs and offerings, solutions to problems I was facing and even ways to have challenging conversations I was avoiding would present themselves.

As I lay there, I seemed to have access to what Napoleon Hill refers to in his seminal work “Think and Grow Rich” as “Infinite Intelligence”. According to Hill, Infinite Intelligence refers to a universal, all-encompassing intelligence that exists beyond the realm of human understanding. It's a form of divine intelligence that is accessible to individuals through their subconscious minds.

Hill suggests that Infinite Intelligence is the source of all inspiration, creativity, and knowledge. It's the force that can guide individuals toward their goals and desires if they learn to tap into it effectively. Is this what I was tapping into as I lingered longer in bed? According to Hill, we can communicate with and receive guidance from this infinite intelligence, which can help us achieve our goals.

Let's face it, as business owners, managers, and leaders, we're constantly striving to innovate, solve problems, and drive success. But what if  we are overlooking one of the most powerful moments for creativity and insight that happens not in the boardroom, or brainstorming session but in the quiet moments between sleep and wakefulness?

Picture this: you wake up in the morning, the soft glow of dawn filtering through your window. Instead of immediately leaping out of bed and diving into the day's tasks, you take a moment to linger, to let your mind gently transition from the depths of sleep to the clarity of wakefulness.

It's in this seemingly idle moment that magic can happen.

The science behind this phenomenon is fascinating. As we transition from sleep to wakefulness, our brain undergoes a subtle but significant shift in activity. During deep sleep, our brain produces delta waves, associated with restorative rest. But as we awaken, our brain begins to generate alpha and theta waves, which are linked to relaxation and creativity. It's during this transition that our subconscious mind comes to life.

While we sleep, our brains are hard at work processing memories, emotions, and even problem-solving tasks. Ideas and insights percolate beneath the surface, waiting for the opportune moment to emerge.

By taking a few moments to linger in bed upon waking, we create a space for these ideas to land. We tap into our subconscious reservoir, allowing creativity to flow freely. This relaxed state of mind, coupled with the transition in brainwave activity, sets the stage for breakthrough thinking and innovative solutions.

But for some, lingering in bed can be torture when our lives are full of work and home life responsibilities that don’t allow for an extra 10 minutes under the blankets. If you want to take advantage of this powerful state without staying in bed, try delaying devices, screen time, and coffee until after low cognitive activities such as yoga, a shower or a walk. These activities have been known to also produce ideas and insights.

There is also the danger of staying in bed too long as you will naturally move out of the Alpha/Theta creative state into the more active Beta brainwave, where your analytical mind and inner critic will start to emerge.

So, if you can take a few extra moments in the morning, be sure to get up and act on the ideas and insights that emerge. For me, I usually head straight to my home office and write down the ideas that present themselves, then go about my morning routine and return to my office to take inspired action. Point in case, the idea for this article bubbled up earlier this week, I made a note of it when I got up, did some research, and scheduled today to write and post it.

Remaining in bed is not just about the science. It's also about mindfulness and reflection. In our fast-paced world, we're often guilty of rushing from one task to the next without pausing to breathe. By lingering in bed for a few moments each morning, we practice mindfulness. We become more present, more aware of our thoughts and feelings. This mindfulness sets a positive tone for the day ahead, enhancing our overall well-being and mental clarity.

So, the next time you find yourself tempted to leap out of bed as soon as you wake up, whether you feel like it or not, like the famous influencers are telling us to do, consider this: don’t reach for your phone, but give yourself permission to linger for just a few moments longer. You might unlock the key to your next big idea.

Embrace the transition from sleep to wakefulness and watch as creativity and insight flourish. Your success may just depend on it.

Busting the authenticity myth

Embrace your Artificial Self

Picture
Contributed by: Georgia Ellis
“I want to discover my Leadership style” said one participant at the kick off masterclass of the 22 week emerging leader program - The Future Ready Leaders Toolkit. What she said was in response to my question “What are your intentions for the program and why are you here?”

The other participants began to nod in agreement. They too wanted to find their "true selves".

Sure this sounds like a great goal… (and one that I hear a lot in the work I do) "Find out who I am as a leader" (or as a human)… "Uncover my authentic style"….

But... is it really a worthy goal?

In the pursuit of leadership or personal excellence, we often encounter the notion of authenticity as a guiding principle. We're urged to be true to ourselves, to lead and live with integrity, and to remain genuine in our interactions. However, a deeper exploration into the philosophy of human nature challenges this rather simplistic view.

In Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh's book, "The Path", they delve into the writings of various Chinese philosophers including Xunzi, who distinguishes between human nature and artifice.

Xunzi asserts that human nature, while innate, is not inherently virtuous. Instead, it's the product of conditioning and societal influences. He argues that true human nature is revealed when our innate inclinations are refined and shaped through conscious effort – what he terms as "artifice."

Xunzi's perspective resonates with the timeless wisdom of James Allen's "As a Man Thinketh." Allen emphasizes the power of thought in shaping one's character and destiny. He suggests that the noble and god-like character we aspire to isn't a product of chance but the result of deliberate cultivation through right thinking and sustained effort.

At first glance, these philosophies may seem contradictory to the modern notion of authenticity in leadership and finding our true self. After all, aren't we encouraged to be genuine and true to ourselves?

However, upon deeper reflection, it becomes apparent that authenticity, as commonly understood, is a myth. The idea that we can simply be ourselves without any external influence or intentional effort overlooks the complexity of human nature.

Xunzi ‘s and James Allen’s  ideas shaped my response to the participants who wanted to ‘discover’ their leadership style…  I challenged them to think a little differently, instead of discovering who they had become because of external forces, I invited the to ‘create’ who they wanted to be as a leader, empowering them to let go of any limiting beliefs or ideas that may have been handed to them from society, and to self author their leadership journey.

As leaders (and humans), we're constantly navigating various roles, responsibilities, and expectations. We interact with diverse stakeholders, adapt to changing circumstances, and strive to inspire and motivate others. In this dynamic environment, being true to a static, unchanging self is neither practical nor desirable.

Instead, we must embrace the concept of artifice – the conscious effort to cultivate our character, refine our skills, adapt and shape our leadership style. This doesn't mean being inauthentic or pretending to be someone we're not. Rather, it's about recognising that our authentic self is not fixed but fluid, shaped by our choices, experiences, and deliberate actions.
Just as an artist crafts a masterpiece through skillful manipulation of materials, we must also create ourselves through intentional practice and refinement.
The process of self-creation requires humility, self-awareness, and a willingness to challenge our assumptions and beliefs and become aware of our biases.

In essence, authenticity isn't found in staying true to some unchanging essence of self, but rather in the sincerity and integrity with which we engage in the ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. It's about aligning our actions with our values, inspiring trust through consistent behaviour, and fostering genuine connections with others.

So, as you bust the authenticity myth, you liberate yourself from the constraints of the what was and embrace the transformative power of artifice with “what if” and “who could I be”.

I invite you to cultivate the best version of yourself through self reflection, choosing who you want to be, conscious and persistent effort, continuous learning, and a commitment to being the best version of you so, you not only fulfill your potential but also inspire others to do the same.

Unleashing Confidence

My Personal Journey of Self-Empowerment

In my current and previous roles as a leader, coach, and facilitator, I've discovered that confidence isn't just a trait; it's a mindset that can be cultivated and honed over time.

Recently I facilitated management/leadership training for a group of predominantly male, blue-collar managers, the group was a mix of office-based managers and workshop managers who managed skilled fabricators. Most in the room had never had any form of management or leadership training before and I was a little apprehensive around the reception I’d receive.

We got off to a flying start, a little bit of humour and storytelling goes a long way to making those not used to being boxed up in a small conference room for a full day feel at ease.

We finally made it to the morning tea break when a male participant mentioned that he was really good at reading people, so I challenged him by asking “What’s your read on me?” his reply “ I can tell you have a lot of self-confidence, the way you handled a room of what I would consider a difficult audience and had everyone contributing withing the first 30 minutes shows both that you are passionate about what you do and you know your stuff”.

It was a lovely compliment, and put me further at ease for the rest of the day… but it also got me thinking… I wasn’t always this way… I hadn't always exuded confidence... what had I done that allowed me to display an air of confidence that was clearly noticeable by other people?

Upon reflection I realised that my journey towards greater confidence began with a simple yet powerful approach that accelerated my progress: flooding my subconscious with a vision of the person I aspired to be. Through mental and physical rehearsal, I ingrained confidence into my very being until it became second nature.

Drawing on my intrigue into human potential and the knowledge I had gained over 20+ years deep diving how to harness our mind, in particular the subconscious aspect of our mind that drives up to 95% of our results. I had gathered and tested various approaches that allowed me to retrain my subconscious mind.

My journey lead me to the discoveries in neuroscience, psychology and even some ancient wisdom, all telling the story of the part of us that we have come to know as our 'default network' and how we can use the 5% of our mind to consciously make changes to our outdated programming, beliefs and ideas.

I then took what I had learned and applied it to my own life, I created a new identity - one that oozed confidence.

This is what I did, and if you feel you could do with a bit of a confidence top up, I invite you to experiment with the ideas in your own life.

Tip 1: Immerse Yourself in Your Vision: I flooded my mind with images of myself as a confident, assertive woman. Visualising success in various scenarios helped reshape my subconscious beliefs about my abilities.

Tip 2: Prepare and Rehearse: Confidence grows when we confront our fears head-on. By gathering information, planning my approach, and mentally rehearsing before challenging situations, I pre-emptively tackled doubts and uncertainties.

Tip 3: Practice, Practice, Practice: Whether it's mastering a new skill or navigating difficult conversations, consistent practice breeds confidence. (I rehearsed everything even my new identity) I embraced every opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, knowing that each experience contributed to my growth as a leader.

How did I know it worked?

  1. I began to feel confident and started to naturally say yes to things without second guessing myself.
  2. My environment gave me feedback – people noticed and commented on my confidence. (Similar to the participant in my workshop)
  3. I was offered opportunities that in the past I would be overlooked for.
  4. My inner self talk had shifted... the voice in my head now gave me pep talks instead of telling me what I couldn't do.

Applying these principles proved that confidence isn't an innate trait reserved for a select few; it's a mindset that can be cultivated through deliberate effort and perseverance.

Yes we can change our identity and confidently step out of the self-imposed boxes we find ourselves in. If I can do it, you can too... but it takes effort! Change is not passive!

So, I invite you to embrace the power of visualisation, preparation, and practice to unlock your full potential, to step out with greater confidence and be a positive role model in our ever-changing world.

Remember: Confidence isn't just a destination—it's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment and changing who you are starts by changing how you think – the thinking parts the easy bit!

Future Market Insights asserts that the Australian leadership development program market has a projected CAGR of 8.9% from 2023 to 2033.
 
Notably, technology-driven learning methods are increasingly adopted within leadership development programs.
 
"Leadership is not merely giving orders; it's about inspiring, guiding, and adapting to the future. Embrace technology-driven learning to cultivate extraordinary leaders," says business expert Olivia Jones of Askfunding.– Australia's top loan and financial provider.
 
Leadership isn't just about giving orders and making decisions; it's about inspiring, motivating, and guiding the team toward success.
 
Dive into how coaching and professional development programs can turn ordinary leaders into extraordinary ones.

1. Developing Soft Skills with a Smile

Coaching programs often focus on soft skills like empathy, active listening, and emotional intelligence.
 
It's like the chocolate chips in the leadership cookie—they make the whole experience sweeter!
 
Coaching helps to understand your team's needs and motivations, fostering a positive work environment.
 
It builds trust among members and a sense of belongingness

2. Boosting Self-Awareness

Coaching programs often include self-assessment tools and exercises to help you better understand your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots.
 
It's like having a mirror that reflects your leadership persona to you.
 
It leads to confidence, more informed decisions, a tailored leadership style, and realistic goals. It's like upgrading your leadership armor to withstand any challenge!

3. A Playbook For Success

Professional development programs help leaders develop a deeper understanding of their roles through workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions.
 
It's like attending an action-packed boot camp where you hone your leadership skills, and instead of push-ups, you do problem-solving exercises.
 
Life Reloaded, Superior Thinkers Toolbox, and Future Ready Leaders Toolkit are programs that can upgrade your leadership skills.
 
Whether mastering new technology, understanding market dynamics, or refining your project management skills, these programs turn you into a leader who's always ahead of the game.

4. Highlights The Value Of Feedback

Coaching empowers leaders by offering a safe space for self-reflection, feedback, and goal setting.
 
It's a two-way street where a team can grow together.
 
Through open dialogue and constructive criticism, coaches help leaders identify strengths and weaknesses and enhance their skills.
 
They also hold you responsible for your commitments and track your progress.

5. Playful Experimentation And Innovation

Professional development programs often encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things.
 
It's like having a laboratory where you can conduct playful experiments in your leadership approach.
 
By exploring fresh ideas and taking calculated risks, you'll discover innovative solutions to old problems. It's like inventing your leadership magic!

6. Building A Support Network

Coaching and professional development programs introduce you to a network of like-minded individuals.
 
It's like joining an exclusive club where you can exchange ideas, experiences, and support, helping you tackle challenges with newfound confidence.

Ghosting: Unraveling a complex behaviour

20/8/2023

Comments

 
This Blog was written to help you understand one of the most bewildering communication approaches - Ghosting.

If you have had someone suddenly and intentionally cut off all communication with you without any explanation, justification, or warning after a period of consistent communication or even after a few interactions the following information may help you understand why they may have disappeared. It's not a 'magic' trick... there's so much more to this complex (and often hurtful) behavior.

In the Blog I focus predominately on the ten common reasons why someone may have suddenly disappeared from your life. I look at it from the 'Ghosters' mindset. This doesn't mean the one who has been 'Ghosted' hasn't played a part  in the situation.

Contributor: Georgia Ellis
In the work I do I am often helping my clients make sense of situations where all of a sudden communication with another person suddenly ceases without any real explanation.

I too have experienced this personally and professionally (Mostly from decision makers in large organisations who engage my services, get a proposal and then… nothing but crickets), its bewildering, hurtful and often frustrating to the person who has been cut off and even if we have the mental complexity and emotional awareness to meet the demands of the situation, if the other person doesn’t then what we thought were meaningful relationships can suddenly slip away.
“The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained.” — Jonathan Harnisch, Freak
Ghosting really is a bit of a head-scratcher in today's world and sadly it seems to be happening more and more. 👻
If you’ve experienced it firsthand and wondered why people choose to ghost others, let me help you with some of the psychology behind this complex (and often hurtful) behavior.

Why Ghosting Happens

Ghosting isn't just about a lack of communication skills on the part of the person doing the ghosting. It often stems from a mix of emotions, circumstances, emotional immaturity, and limited mental complexity (sometimes by both parties).

10 Reasons Why You're Being Ghosted

1. Lack of Maturity
Immature individuals might prioritise their own needs, feelings and comfort over the impact of their actions on others. This can sometimes occur on both sides of the Ghosting situation. For the ‘Ghoster’ sudden disconnection can seem like an easy way to avoid discomfort without considering the emotional toll it can take on the other person and for the ‘Ghosted’ they may be ignorant of the impact they are having on others.

2. Limited Mental Complexity
Some individuals struggle to fully grasp the impact of their actions on others due to limited interpersonal skills and inability to understand different perspectives, values and emotions.

3. Accountability Avoidance
Someone lacking maturity or mental complexity might struggle with taking responsibility for their actions. Ghosting provides an escape from facing the consequences of their behavior or explaining themselves.

4. Conflict Avoidance
Sometimes, the fear of confrontation or difficult conversations leads people to ghost. It's like hitting the "escape" button to avoid discomfort.

5. Uncertainty
When feelings are murky or they're unsure about the relationship's direction, ghosting can seem like a way to buy time and figure things out.

6. Digital Disconnect
In today's digital age, the emotional impact of ghosting might feel less real due to the impersonal nature of online communication. The growing need for instant replies may make you think you’ve been ghosted when someone has simply switched off.

7. Self-Protection
Individuals with low self-esteem or a fear of rejection might ghost as a defense mechanism to shield themselves from potential hurt.

8. Emotional Immaturity
Ghosting can arise from a lack of emotional maturity, making it challenging to navigate and communicate complex feelings and handle relationships with consideration.

9. Inexperience in Relationships
Individuals who are less experienced in navigating relationships might resort to ghosting as a coping mechanism simply because they haven't yet learned healthier ways to handle your behaviour. (a curse of our digital world)

10. Priorities Clash
Sometimes, juggling life's demands can become overwhelming, leading someone to unintentionally disconnect.

A Call For Empathy

While ghosting might seem like an easy way out, in the long run it’s an uneducated approach that pulls humanity backwards.

If you use Ghosting as an approach, or you have been Ghosted, it's essential to reflect on the role you are playing in the situation and consider the emotions on the other side.

In the communication masterclasses I run we highlight the need to bring more curiosity, courage and compassion to our interactions and remembering that we're all human (yes we make mistakes - #apologise)

By dialing up these three approaches we can create stronger meaningful connections.

“The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn’t want to destroy anything or anybody. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door, without causing any fuss or consequences, and then not stop running until I reached Greenland.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Healthy Alternatives:

Instead of ghosting, build your emotional intelligence and mental complexity by trying some of these healthier ways to manage relationships:

1. Open Communication: Share your thoughts and feelings to help others better understand whats going on and collaborate on a resolution.

2. Setting Boundaries: It's okay to take space, but communicate that you need time or your needs have changed instead of disappearing. Share whats important to you in the situation and why you may need some time.

3. Honesty: If the connection isn't right, be upfront and respectful about your feelings.

4. Empathy: Put yourself in the other person's shoes—how would you want to be treated?

A Better Way:

Ghosting might be common, but it doesn't have to be the norm.

Respectful communication, empathy, and consideration for others should ideally be part of healthy interpersonal interactions, regardless of one's level of maturity or mental complexity.

I invite you join the movement that values communication, self awareness, understanding, and compassion.

By treating others the way we'd like to be treated, we can foster healthier connections and build a more empathetic world. 💙

Investing in Your Future: How Self-Investment Can Transform Your Life

21/7/2023

Comments

 
"Step toward a better you. Step into self-investment." This mantra was the stepping stone that transformed my life from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Picture
Contributed by Layla Wyatt, inspired by the Blue Chip Minds Journey.

What is Self Investment?

The Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment defined self-investment as a commitment to learning and development to enhance one's skills and capability, fostering personal and professional growth. Let's plunge into a saga of self-investment and transformation in the essence of a story.
 
 “We believe that self-investment is a game changer. It's the key to unlocking your potential and transforming your future. It's not just about financial growth, but personal growth and fulfilling your dreams," says Shane Perry, entrepreneur and small business loan provider at Max Funding.
 
I still vividly recall those days, looking at my life cycle spinning around like a hamster wheel - work, eat, and sleep. My day-to-day routine was secure, stable and unchanging; even an inkling of uncertainty was conspicuously absent. But living this structured life casts a shroud over the potential spark within me. I was comfortable, yet unsatisfied. I yearned for a challenge, a catalyst that would stimulate my growth, personally and professionally.
 
Throughout this time, I found solace in an incredibly profound quote: "The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday." These words hit me like a gust of fresh wind, pushing me towards the edge of my comfort zone. They became the beacon guiding me on the path of transformation - self-investment.
 
Unlike popular opinion, this path did not involve a monetary commitment. Still, it required a more personal commitment of persistent effort, undivided focus, and endless patience towards personal growth and self-improvement.

Fast forward to today, I've developed this same transformative opportunity through programs like 'Life Reloaded', 'Superior Thinker’s Toolbox', and 'Future Ready Leaders Toolkit' at my initiative, Blue Chip Minds. These programs are carefully designed to help individuals and teams build mental complexity – just as it helped me.
 
Self-investment doesn't require an extravagant leap. Embark slowly and consistently—like a drop causing ripples in a calm water body, as does your continuous self-investment effort. The more you invest, the wider the growth and impact.
 
People often associate investments with instant gains. However, self-investment is a marathon, not a sprint—transformations don't happen overnight. They require patience, resilience, and the will to step out of your comfort zone, explore, and be curious about your capabilities.
 
Does it feel uneasy? It should, and that's perfectly okay. Any form of investment involves risks and uncertainties. However, remember, it's always possible to learn, change, and grow. The fruits of these efforts enrich and equip you with skills that propel you in your profession and unfold a better version of you.
 
What if you fall along the way? Ah! But what if you fly?

The very essence of self-investment lies in challenging your doubts and fears. Invest in nurturing your mindset, honing your skills, fuelling your creativity, and cherishing your well-being.
 
At Blue Chip Minds, we believe, and help you believe, in your potential to be exceptional—through our programs, workshops, and self-development modules. We guide you along the path so you can one day reminisce and share your story of transformation with the world.
 
So, how about you start today? Unleash your potential, invest in yourself, and watch the magic unfold.

And remember that the biggest investment you can make is in yourself.

The Mental Health Benefits of Virtual Gatherings, Events & Training

25/5/2023

Comments

Contributed by: Lalya Wyatt
The Australian Department of Health emphasised that mental health is critical to our well-being. Virtual gatherings, events, and training programs have become increasingly popular ways to support mental health and maintain social connections during these challenging times.
 
"Virtual gatherings and events have become a lifeline for many individuals during these challenging times, providing a safe and supportive environment for maintaining social connections and supporting mental health. Training programs can also be crucial in building mental complexity and developing new tools for navigating life,” says virtual events extraordinaire Shaun Stephens at Loghic Connect.
 
In this article, we'll explore the mental health benefits of virtual gatherings and events and how training programs can help individuals build cognitive complexity. Virtual meetings and events offer many mental health benefits, including the following:

1. Maintaining Social Connections

Social connections are essential for our mental health and well-being. Virtual gatherings and events offer a way to maintain social relationships and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can lead to depression and anxiety. According to the Australian Health Promotion Association, virtual events provide an opportunity to interact with others and engage in activities that promote social connection. This can be especially important for individuals who may be homebound or have limited social support in their communities.

2. Reducing Stress And Anxiety

Virtual gatherings and events offer a safe and comfortable environment where individuals can connect with others without the added stress of leaving their homes. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who experience anxiety or stress related to social situations or travelling. Additionally, these virtual events can provide an excellent opportunity for those with introverted tendencies to participate at their own pace and engage more confidently in social interactions. By offering a more controlled and less overwhelming environment, virtual events allow these individuals to relax and engage in activities that promote relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of social connection.

3. Providing A Sense Of Community

Virtual gatherings and events can create community and belonging by transcending geographical boundaries and cultural differences. One of the significant benefits of these global virtual events is the opportunity to interact with people from different cultures and countries without the need to leave your home or office. For example, imagine participating in a leadership course alongside a manager from Dubai, a leader from Poland, a coach from Sweden, and a leader from Melbourne, all hailing from different industries. This diverse environment fosters a rich learning experience, as participants can gain insights and perspectives from various cultural backgrounds, enhancing their understanding of global issues and promoting cross-cultural communication skills.

4. Learning New Skills

Virtual events (such as conferences and summits) and training programs allow us to learn new skills and expand our knowledge alongside diverse people from different backgrounds and cultures. This can help individuals build mental complexity and develop new tools to navigate life. Learning new skills can also promote a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem, improving mental health and well-being.
 
Another significant advantage of virtual events is the ability to fit your learning into your lifestyle without travelling to a specific location. This flexibility makes education and personal development more accessible, allowing individuals to balance their personal and professional commitments while pursuing growth and development opportunities. This adaptability can lead to reduced stress and greater control over one's life, further promoting mental health and well-being.

5. Building Mental Complexity

Mental complexity involves seeing multiple perspectives and understanding the complexities of different situations. It consists in having a flexible mindset and adapting to changing circumstances. Mental complexity is essential for navigating life and can be developed through training programs. Virtual events and training programs can provide tools and strategies for managing stress and anxiety, improving mental resilience, and building mental complexity. These skills can be applied to various situations, including work, relationships, and personal growth.
