Unstoppable Mindset

De: Michael Hingson
  • Resumen

  • Inclusion, Diversity and encountering something different and unexpected. We all have reacted to different kinds of people and unexpected situations often with fear and unacceptance. Join blind World Trade Center survivor, No. 1 NY Times Bestseller and Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe, Michael Hingson as he talks with thought leaders and others about our often blinding fear of inclusion and our resistance to change. Mike will explore the idea that no matter the situation or different kinds of people we encounter our own fears and prejudices often are the strongest barriers to moving forward.

  • Episode 250 – Unstoppable Young Carer and Inclusion Advocate with Sarah Jones
    Jul 19 2024
    “Carer” what is that? You may well ask especially if you live in America. We call them “caregivers”. Sarah Jones was born in a small town in Northern England. Both of her parents had some disabilities that resulted in Sarah even at an early age becoming one of their primary caregivers. You will hear about Sarah’s experiences and how she felt that she never truly had what we would regard as a child-parent relationship. Sarah also had a younger sister who did not have a physical disability. However, her younger brother was born with disabilities including autism and epilepsy. Sarah began college to study nursing but found that she really didn’t wish to pursue that career and so left college after six months and went to work. While Sarah feels she faced many challenges and didn’t necessarily have what she would describe as the best life possible, she does point out that she knows where she came from by the choices she has made. In fact, she points out that now, as a part of Access Sport UK she works to help bring inclusion into sports to persons with disabilities and her attitude stems from her past experiences and decisions. She especially loves to climb and teaches climbing to many persons with disabilities. She works to get coaches to understand that just because someone may have a so-called disability it doesn’t mean that they should be excluded from sports activities. Our podcast time is probably one of the most intense and heart-felt conversations we have had on Unstoppable Mindset, but Sarah shows that no matter what our circumstances, we can be unstoppable and move forward. I hope you are inspired by what you hear this time. About the Guest: Sarah grew up in a small town in Northern England in the UK. As a young carer, she spent her childhood and teen years caring for her parents and younger sibling, all of whom have disabilities and varying levels of need. Her mental health, wellbeing and educational prospects came second to her caring responsibility and she had to navigate growing up whilst providing support to others from a young age. These early challenges shaped her transition into adulthood and, after leaving college education with few qualifications, she has worked hard to get to where she is today. Sarah has worked in the outdoor industry, adult social care, education and the charity sector and her journey has lead to a clear purpose and goal – to improve the lives of disabled people and their families. Her current role with Access Sport gives her the opportunity to work with sports clubs across the UK to engage more disabled people in sport. Sarah helps break down barriers for disabled people to access sport, and helps change attitudes and perspectives on disability, care-giving and those kids that are often seen as ‘troublesome’ or ‘a lost cause’. She ensures that the voices of disabled people and their families are heard through her a public speaking opportunities, and does not shy away from sharing her experiences in the hope of inspiring change for other young people from similar backgrounds. In her spare time, Sarah is also an avid rock climber and enjoys climbing with her daughter and friends. She is also an experienced inclusive climbing coach and works with a number of disabled climbers who prove that when the environment is accessible, welcoming and supportive, climbing is for everybody. Last year, Sarah experienced the unexpected loss of her younger brother who she once cared for, and navigated grief and guilt in the months following. This experience is something she openly shares in the hope that others can relate to the complexities of grieving for a sibling. Sarah also talks openly about her experience of becoming a mother, overcoming post-natal psychosis and how motherhood been her best lesson.

  • Episode 249 – Unstoppable Public Affairs Officer and Writer with Chase Spears
    Jul 16 2024
    Being a life-long blind person I have never served in the military and thus only understand the military way of life vicariously. There is reading about it, of course and there is talking to military people about their lifestyle. Today you get to hear a conversation not only about military life, specifically the army world, as it were, from a 20-year career soldier, Chase Spears who recently retired from the military as a major in the army. Chase grew up always interested in the news and what was going on in the world around him. He attended college, both undergraduate studies and later graduate work at universities in Tennessee. Along the way an army recruiting officer persuaded him to join the army. By that time, he was well married to a woman who, surprising to him, supported his decision to leave college and join the army. Chase’s telling of this story is wonderful to hear. As you will see, he is quite the storyteller. He and I talk a great deal about the world of a soldier, and he puts a lot of things into perspective. For those of you who have served in the military much of what you hear may not be totally new. However, since Chase served in public affairs/relations duties throughout most of his army career, you may find his observations interest. Chase and I had a good free-flowing and informative conversation. I personally came away fascinated and look forward to talking with Chase again in the future. A few months ago, Mr. Spears retired and entered into a doctoral program at Kansas State University where he is conducting research concerning how military life impacts the citizenship of those who serve. You will get to hear a bit about what he is finding. About the Guest: U.S. Army Major (Ret.) Chase Spears is first and foremost a Christian, Husband, and Father to five children who help to keep him and his wife young at heart. Having grown up with a passion for news and policy, Chase spent 20 years in the Army as a public affairs officer, trying to be part of a bridge between the military and the public. He merged that work with a passion for writing to become one of the Army’s most published public affairs officers, often to resistance from inside the military. Chase continues that journey now as a doctoral candidate at Kansas State University, where his dissertation research explores how military life impacts the citizenship of those who serve. His other writings focus on topics including civil-military dynamics, communication ethics, and the political realities of military operations.

  • Episode 248 – Unstoppable Noteworthy Woman with Dr. Alessandra Wall
    Jul 12 2024
    Dr. Alessandra Wal spent her first seven years of life living in the Middle East. She then spent ten years in France. All of these experiences gave her a rich view of different peoples and cultures which still serve her well today. At the age of 18, she came to the United States where she attended undergraduate school at Duke University. She will tell us how “different” life was for her in a major college sports town, at least different from the kind of environments she had experienced up to that time. She attended graduate school at the University of Texas Medical center in Dallas where she eventually earned her PHD in Psychology. From an early age she loved to read, learn about people and wanted to understand them. For her, Psychology was the natural route to take. Fairly recently Dr. Wal decided to shift from being a practicing psychologist to being a leadership coach for women. She has fascinating stories of the kinds of efforts her coaching practice has undertaken. She specializes in helping smart, ambitious executive women in male-dominated industries build wildly successful AND deeply fulfilling careers. When asked, she is quick to point out that men are very much a part of the equation. I leave it to Alessandra to explain and teach. Dr. Wal and I had a wonderful and natural conversation. I came away blessed for the opportunity to speak with her and to better understand how all of us need to work harder and better at communicating and supporting each other. About the Guest: Dr. Alessandra Wall made a major career switch from a busy psychologist to successful founder & high-impact executive coach at Noteworthy. She specializes in helping smart, ambitious executive women in male-dominated industries build wildly successful AND deeply fulfilling careers. Dr. Wall is on a mission to build a world where seeing women access the highest levels of leadership and success is so common, it’s no longer noteworthy. She's confident that she can move the needle for women both through her 1:1 work with women and through her training, consulting, and partnership with companies that understand and value the impact of women leaders.

When she’s not busy helping executive women balance ambition, corporate dynamics, and personal well-being you will find her curled up in an armchair with a good book and an a piping hot cup of coffee.
