Is your career or personal life stuck on autopilot?

Learn how to get unstuck by breaking free from the chains of "learned helplessness", a concept of Positive Psychology. In this episode, we'll discover how Dr. Seligman's groundbreaking research can be the key to getting unstuck and transforming your life.

I share my own career journey and some examples from my clients, showing you the power of taking proactive control and how refusing to remain passive in unsatisfactory situations can lead to a fulfilling and successful path.

We also explore the detrimental effects of learned helplessness on leadership and teams. By questioning established norms and power structures, I reveal how leaders can foster a culture of empowerment and drive positive change within their organizations. Sharing personal stories and real-world case studies, we address the three components of learned helplessness—permanence, pervasiveness, and personalization—and demonstrate how to overcome these barriers to improve team performance and morale.

Finally, we tackle the transformative power of changing perspectives, especially in midlife. Many believe their identities are fixed, but I show you how to challenge these ingrained narratives and make more fulfilling choices. Through practical examples and inspiring stories, learn how to align your current actions with a vision of your desired future self. Whether you're looking to improve your career, relationships, or personal health, this episode offers valuable insights into fostering an optimistic outlook and initiating meaningful transformations at any stage of life.
