Pack up all your troubles because today is moving day!It’s time to move from your current state of being to the one you’ve been hoping for, and maybe even dreaming about. Maybe you’re wallowing around in the wasted space of lethargy. Maybe you’re enduring the massive burden of overwhelm trying to balance the demands at work and at home. Or maybe you’re stuck in the gripping fear of moving into the challenging and uncomfortable space of that new business venture you’ve been contemplating for months.Whatever your worry, trouble, fear, or apprehension, today is the day you rid yourself of those unhelpful, limiting, even debilitating thoughts and feelings.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/01/22/its-moving-day/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Some things just come naturally. And they can be done with a single action. Throwing a ball, kicking a ball, cooking an egg, reading a book, delivering a speech, delegating a task, or giving feedback.Ok, maybe all of those don’t come naturally. But they can all be done with a single action. Other skills take time to develop and hone, like throwing a strike, scoring a goal, making an omelet, writing a book, or motivating someone to positive action.And then there are behaviors or qualities that require consistent, continuous actions that lead to greater success. Being a pro athlete, being a chef, keynoting a conference, or being a respected leader.Each of these can withstand miscalculations, missteps, and even mistakes, because these things happen. And when they do, we stop, review, and then get back in the saddle and make things right.But there is one quality that is much more vulnerable to miscalculations and mistakes. And that is trust.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/01/16/treat-trust-like-a-broken-bone/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Goals, goals, goals. (Cue the Motley Crue nightclub anthem.)As humans, we tend to seek adventure and improvement. And in that, we continuously strive for the next level of achievement to attain our next goal.We set goals, our bosses set goals, the worlds of measurement and quality demand that we set goals. Heck, if we’re not setting and achieving goals, people consider us slackers and unsuccessful. But is achievement of goals really the best way to measure our success?...Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/01/02/a-better-way-to-goal-achievement/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Last time we unlocked the secrets of gratitude. And though many interesting ideas and research came up, I think I might have left you on a little bit of a cliffhanger. Typically, I present some actions or behaviors on how you can execute the ideas presented, and I didn’t do that, so I feel like I own you one. Today we explore some of the ways to “do” gratitude.But before we get into it, if you haven’t already listened to the previous episode Beyond Gratitude, then I encourage you to do so. It will give you a good grounding for what we uncover today.Alright. Are you ready? Let’s get started! Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/23/how-to-do-gratitude/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

It’s November and here in the US, that means Thanksgiving. A time when we give thanks for all that we have and all who we know and love. It’s a time of gathering of family, sharing of food, and recollecting upon all we have to be grateful for.Full transcript can be found here:https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/19/beyond-gratitude/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

You've probably heard of the 5 Whys Method. It's the exercise that has you ask 5 “Why” questions to help you get to the root cause of a problem. We typically use this method of questioning for troubleshooting issues, quality improvement, or process analysis. It goes something like this: We are behind schedule with updating the training program again this week. Why?Because we don’t have time to make the updates to the training program. Why?Because it takes a long time for us to enter the HR data into the spreadsheets. Why?Because each week, some of the data is either missing or incorrect. Why?Because it is prone to human error because the entire process is manual entry from paper forms. Why?Because we don’t have an integrated software system between the HR and Training Departments.Now, looking at purchasing an integrated software system may seem like an obvious solution to an ongoing problem, but oftentimes we simply try to bandage the symptom (in this case, not enough time to perform a task).Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/07/youd-better-whys-up/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jglenos

By now, you’ve probably heard the term “quiet quitting.” It also goes by the possibly more accurate and certainly more comical term “acting your wage.” Though these terms are new, the idea is not. We’ve gone through decades and decades of people doing their jobs. Nothing more, nothing less…just doing the job they were hired and get paid to do.And we, as leaders, should be grateful for that, not disappointed in their behavior. After all, we lured them in with a specific job description, we carefully interviewed them and they told us that they could perform those duties, and then we decided to allow them to take that job. And in exchange we would pay them to complete the tasks outlined on that same job description. Seems like a fair deal. So why are we suddenly surprised when people are not going above and beyond, not going the extra mile, not seeking more responsibility, not working longer hours, and not putting in 110%? Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/10/14/dealing-with-quiet-quitting/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jglenos

We’ve all had them. Dark, dank, depressing cloudy days. And they always seem to come at the worst possible time. You wake up late, you have to skip breakfast, you run into heavy traffic, aaand you’re late for your important meeting. Ugh. Why does it all happen at once?Let’s face it, no matter how wonderful life is, we all have days that aren’t sunshine and unicorns. In our last episode we looked at the first two parts of executing a Blue-Sky Paradigm – Determining what the particular cloud is and then moving to gain a new perspective.Today we look at the remaining three practices of the Blue-Sky Paradigm. Let’s get started.Make it RAIN. Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, and mood can be especially challenging to deal with. And when it’s more than you can bear, you might want to pour down a heavy rain of judgment on your problems to drown them out. But how can we do that productively?

You wake up late, you have to skip breakfast, you run into heavy traffic, aaand you’re late for your important meeting. Ugh. Why does it all happen at once?Let’s face it, no matter how wonderful life is, we all have days that aren’t sunshine and unicorns.And that’s fine, because if all of our days were filled to the rim with awesome, amazing, and out of this world experiences, we wouldn’t be able to truly appreciate all that we have. So, a cloudy day here and there really isn’t all that bad, and with practice we can learn to welcome those days and embrace what comes.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/08/03/unlocking-clear-skies-on-cloudy-days/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

You know that feeling that comes with completion of a task or a project? Yeah, that rush of competence and confidence. Feels good, right?We all love it and yet we don’t really get enough of it either, do we?All too often, we feel listless, lethargic, or let down. Mostly because we are the ones letting us down.Well, guess what, dear listener? I’ve got a shortcut that can help you get started, keep going, and get stuff done.

We are up against some pretty strong forces here, so we are going to need a powerful counterattack. Are you ready? I’ve got the keys.

It is also being calm and composed, finding peace and passion, and generating energy and enthusiasm.This sounds like a beautiful way to live and sometimes we can actually find ourselves in this blissful state. But usually, it doesn't last as long as we’d like. Why? Because we are surrounded by a lot of negativity in our everyday lives. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/04/28/unlocking-positivity-in-a-negative-world/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Let’s Unlock the Shortcut!As leaders, we all know we have to set goals to get where we want to go. Even if we don’t know where that is yet, we need to create a vision of where we want to be and how we are going to get there.And if you’ve been keeping up with the leadership and management tools and guides, you also know that to be successful you need to set SMART goals.SMART goals are a great way to be sure we create goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.Without a vision of what you want to accomplish at the end of all your hard work, it’s hard to get motivated to start anything at all. SMART goals set you off on the right path.But what do we do about all the days in between the starting point and the finish line?How do we keep motivated each step along the way? Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/03/29/unlock-the-elusive-pot-of-gold/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Change. Sounds painful, right?What about growth? Does that sound painful?Well, to some of us, growth does sound painful. In fact, you’ve likely heard the phrase, “growing pains.”Funny thing is, we never use the term “changing pains” which would be much more appropriate, since most us hate the idea of change. And we really dislike having to go through the stages of change. So, if all growth is, in essence, change, and we are ok with the term “growing pains”, let’s just replace the word “change” with “growth” and everything should be fine and dandy, right?Well, sure! But it’s not that easy, is it?What we need is a shortcut. ....Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/03/01/changing-pains/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Performance Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #performancecoaching   https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Happiness is one of those things we all need, we all seek, and yet sometimes (oftentimes) we struggle to find it. We search and search and search. We look in all the right places.

Often, we feel so rushed, so anxious, so busy we forget to look up and see how good life really is. We take for granted all the skills and talents we possess.We take for granted all of the people who help us each day achieve what we would not otherwise.We take for granted those who supported us when things looked hopeless or so far away.We even take for granted all the world provides including sunlight, warmth, water, food, shelter, and so much more.Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/11/24/giving-thanks-and-showing-appreciation/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com and leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   Jimmy GlenosWork/Life Performance CoachLEAD+SUCCEED Podcastjglenos.comjimmy@jglenos.com

You’re getting ready to close business for the day and you’re feeling a little sluggish. You’re not terribly tired, but you are feeling like you could have brought a little more something to your staff, your meetings, your customers.You didn’t lose any sales or make anyone cry today but you can’t quite put your finger on what it was that was missing to make it a more meaningful and satisfying day.Was it the two donuts for breakfast? Was it the not-so-healthy lunch you scarfed down at your desk like a hunchbacked ogre?
