Simple Skills to Improve Your Life Continued

00:00 /

Today we continue our discussion of skills that can radically change your life. Again, these are simple skills that can be practiced and are great habits to make. We pick up from where we left off with the last episode, and are again joined by Ms. Komal Desai to give a millennial viewpoint on these skills.

We started out with one of the most important skills to have and understand. This important skill is to think of your time as money. We hear that quote all the time, that time is money, but few people really take that to heart. However, thinking of time as money allows us to really start to value the time we spend on things. It forces us to stop spending time on things that we need to do, and focus on what really matters.

Second, we took a look at long and short term goals. Both kinds of goals matter, but we often focus on one rather than the other. Part of being successful is having a good number of short goals while working towards a long term goal. We picked apart what these goals are and what they mean to your level of success.

The next skill is one that we love being able to do, but don’t necessarily do well. Winding down and meditating is something we all need to do. With life being so busy, our bodies and minds need to take some time to recharge. A lot of times we like to watch television and movies, or go be social. However we look at why that is not the best way to wind down and what are things we can do to actually wind down and finish the day.

To close off this list, we looked at eliminating ANTS. The acronym ANTS stands for automatic negative thoughts. This is something we don’t realize happens more often than not. But, being able to recognize the negative thoughts are happening, allows us time to change our perspective and look at things in a different light.

All of these are skills that we can readily implement into our own lives. Start by finding one that you really want to make a habit, and try to make that a part of your everyday routine. Eventually, we can make all of these skills part of our lives.

What Does Brexit Mean For Your Career Featuring Komal Desai

July 2, 2016 by angishields

One of the hottest topics in the world right now is regarding Britain’s exit from the European Union, fondly known as “Brexit.” On the June 28, 2016 episode of Career Advancement, we honed in on the topic of Brexit and what that means for careers and the future of jobs in the market. We discussed what Brexit really means, the air of uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and how this event will make an impact even here in the United States. Based on Ms. Desai’s future career thoughts and plans, this was a great topic to discuss for all ages, especially millennials. The common theme throughout the discussion is focused on the idea of uncertainty and adapting to change.

So why does Brexit matter and why should we care about it here in the US? This topic was inspired by Ms. Desai and how Brexit has already started to affect her future career. Currently a student, Ms. Desai has looked at London to be her future home, a place where she wants to establish herself and her career. We shed some light on the idea of working in a globalized economy, and touched on the what Brexit means for those looking to work in Europe or for a European company here in the US. We also looked at what tolerance of uncertainty means for careers and jobs, focusing in on the ability to go with the flow and adapt to the constantly changing market in order to advance and be happy. The tolerance of uncertainty includes exploring curiosity, persistence, flexibility, optimism, and risk taking.

What They Mean:

Curiosity: new learning

Persistence: exerting effect despite setbacks

Flexibility: fluidity in attitude and circumstances

Optimism: sight for seeing new opportunities and possibilities

Risk Taking: being ready to take action in the face of adversity

Komal Desai is currently a student at The University of Texas at Austin. She is working towards her Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a focus in Finance. Ms. Desai has played an active role in the startup community, working for Beautylish Boutiques based in San Francisco and Appspire.me in Austin.

We asked Virgil to share with us how the military prepared him for the five.

Positioning: Ensuring that I consistently prepared myself and my team with the right skills, and training to building said skills.
Perseverance: Being on the front lines of battle, I witness 1^st hand the importance of continuing in the face of adversity.
Purpose: Knowing why you are there and acting on that purpose daily.
Passionate: About doing things right the first time when working a job.
Proximity- The military has taught me about being prepared and ready when its time.

Virgil also discussed how he used the benefits and knowledge of the five P’s(P5) helped him to pursue future career goals. Upon leaving the military he has earned two degrees Bachelor Degree in Psychology and a Graduate Degree in Information Technology Cyber Security. His goals are a career in Cyber Security.

Becoming a Mental Athlete

Becoming a Mental Athlete

Talking about Becoming a Mental Athlete

This week I sat down with life- and wellness-coach, Michaelene “Mike” Conner. She works with individuals and companies seeking to improve their mental focus, ability to enact positive change, and overall level of physical health. The art of well-coaching comes down to creating an environment for substantive and lasting life changes. These shifts in awareness happen through the engagement of collaboration, conversation, exploration and facilitation. It allows an individual to move from a current state of being towards a desired set of goals having to do with mental focus, health, fitness, energy and overall wellness. Conner’s coaching approach becomes the vehicle for guiding an individual to achieve a higher level of awareness and commitment to both physical and mental well-being.

Coach Conner will create a collaborative and co-creative environment in which the individual can explore their beliefs, behaviors, assumptions, visions and goals. She will assist the individual in connecting the dots between who they are and who they want to be, and to take the incremental behavioral steps that will enable them to succeed. Coach Conner is a credentialed health, fitness and mental health practitioner who coaches clients on evidence-based areas of wellness such as:

– Personal/Organizational change

– Physical activity

– Nutrition/Food and meal preparation

– Weight management/Sports nutrition

– Stress management

– Life satisfaction

Conner knows that everyone wants to be well, and everybody desires to be in control of his or her own health. She understands we want more energy to cope with today’s chaotic environment. Yet Conner recognizes that there is an enormous gap between wanting to be well and the everyday reality of living with the physical and mental consequences of our behaviors.
