Your Mind Is An Inside Job
How Your Thoughts Will Drive Your Future
Program Bio
Our mindset is a powerful tool that we can use to help us or hinder us.
Mindset starts with satisfying basic needs, as initially presented by Maslow. These needs will build upon one another like a ladder. We ascend, in order, by climbing rung by rung.
Our mindset will primarily control this ascent. We are not in control of what happens to us, and we are in control of how we react to the events in our lives.
In this presentation, you will acquire skills and tools to understand the strength of your inner dialogue and your existing habits concerning your own set of filters.
Join Dr. Mendelson in this fun and interactive exploration into what drives business and personal success through the power of mindset!
Leaving this presentation your audience will:
- Understand the difference between the Fixed and Growth Mindsets
- Understand the Michael Singer’s concept of “… you are not the voice of the mind – you are the one who hears it.”
