In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Executive Edition, I explore how small, values-led actions, what we call mindful micro-actions, can spark meaningful shifts in leadership. Whether it’s choosing to listen more deeply, pause before reacting, or delegate with trust, these tiny, intentional moves create lasting impact. Because great leadership isn’t only defined by big decisions, it’s built in the quiet, conscious moments that align with who you are.

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore psychological flexibility. The ability to stay open in moments of uncertainty or discomfort. Rather than clinging to rigid rules or needing total control, psychological flexibility invites us to stay curious, consider other perspectives, and respond with values-led action.

It’s a reminder that your Rooted Mind may seek certainty, but your Conscious Mind thrives on curiosity and courage.

When burnout looms, the Rooted Mind may whisper that slowing down means laziness. But in this one-minute episode, I want to remind you that self-compassion, step two of the 4-Step Change Process, isn’t weakness. It's a powerful act of resilience.

In this Executive Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore how the Rooted Mind, shaped by past experiences and deep-seated patterns, can quietly influence high-level decision-making. From avoiding conflict to seeking approval, these old stories often resurface in the boardroom, steering choices away from clarity and purpose.

This episode invites leaders to pause and ask an important question: “Is this decision rooted in values and vision, or in a past that no longer serves me?”

Tune in for a reminder that leadership begins with self-awareness, and thrives in the Conscious Mind.

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Rethinking Good and Bad Emotions, I explore a subtle shift in how we relate to our feelings.

Rather than dividing emotions into “good” or “bad,” what if we thought of them as wanted or unwanted? This change in language helps us move away from shame and self-judgment, and toward understanding and acceptance.

In this episode, I explore the urge to “just power through”, even when our bodies and minds are crying out for a break. While pushing ahead might feel productive in the moment, it can come at the cost of clarity, creativity, and wellbeing.

I also offer a simple Focus Reset to help you pause, reconnect with your Conscious Mind, and choose your next step with intention

In this Executive Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore The Mirror Test for Leaders. A simple yet powerful question: “Can I look at myself and say I led with integrity today?” This episode invites leaders to move beyond approval, performance, or perfection, and instead focus on alignment with their core values.

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore a powerful question from Dr. Russ Harris:

“Is this action moving me toward or away from the person I want to be?”

This Choice Point question is at the heart of Reframing, the third step in the 4-step Change Process used in the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method.

If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in ways that don’t reflect your values, this episode is a reminder: you always have a choice, and that choice can move you closer to the person you want to be.
