By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/sONNMEd3ccI Episode #156 — My friend Alexis Ramer-Artin told me that "We can listen when the Universe whispers in our ear or wait until it hits us in the head with a bat."

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/8fNxUTSOVS4 Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #155 — Burning energy or finding gifts? Three years ago on the first episode of Mindset Mondays, everything went haywire ... including (OK, especially) me. I lost my composure and when I look back at that broadcast, that's all I see.

Episode 154: Gratitude is the ability to experience life as a gift. It liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/hBpsmUqiBZ0 Episode #154 — More Gratitude, Less Platitude A search for quotes about gratitude will yield an endless scroll-parade of images leaving your screen sticky from sugary platitudes. Ewww! And just like my late-night study-snack stockpile in the 1980s: all sweet, no substance. Yes. Gratitude is good. We all get that. Let's move on ...…

Episode 153: Certainty is a cruel mindset. It hardens our minds against possibility.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/nOf3xM8qE_k Episode #153 — "I’m absolutely certain that certainty is bad!" Our brains are wired to perceive uncertainty as a potential threat to our survival.

Episode 152: The art of leadership is the capacity to hold all emotions and still act in the most noble way.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/8Ak2-S1FF94 Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #152 — The Science of an Art? Much has been written about the science of leadership.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/hbK4E2eBX94 Episode #151 — Feel It All!

Episode 150: People claim to want to do something that matters, yet they measure themselves against things that don’t.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/8JymhWOKuIw Episode #150 — Know Your Currencies! All too often, people use a single currency to evaluate success: money. That metric may show up as 'deals closed' or 'projects won' or 'net worth' or 'savings amassed' or even 'money spent.' No matter how people choose to label it, they’re still using money as their metric.…

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/Nw0DW1Tt1P0 Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #149 — I'd Rather Fail Than Not Finish!

Episode 148: Learning without thinking is useless. Thinking without learning is dangerous.

By David Taylor-Klaus Mindset Mondays

https://youtu.be/1LNx_zSG-JA Mindset Mondays with DTK - Ep #148 — Useless or Dangerous? Though I loved Mrs. Southworth, my high school Human Anatomy and Physiology teacher, I hated the early months of the class.
