I had an amazing conversation with Cosimo Intermite, a brilliant cognitive scientist, where we dove deep into the world of cognitive styles and how they shape our reasoning. Cosimo’s journey of learning English led him to develop a faster method for mastering languages, and his insights are truly game-changing.

Cosimo shared some incredible tips on how to discover your own cognitive style and improve communication with people who think differently. He broke down the four cognitive styles: systematic vs intuitive, impulsive vs reflective, convergent vs divergent, and global analytical vs visual verbal. Understanding these styles can transform the way you connect and collaborate with others.

He emphasized the power of knowing your own cognitive style and those of others to enhance communication and achieve better results. Cosimo’s message is clear: value yourself enough to seek out the knowledge and tools you need to overcome challenges and boost your learning abilities.

Press play and discover how to:

• Identify your cognitive style to learn and understand information more effectively.
• Improve communication and connect with others by being aware of different cognitive styles.
• Understand how cognitive styles impact decision-making, problem-solving, and execution strategies.
• Adapt your communication style for more effective interactions.
• Apply these insights to make learning more meaningful and impactful.

Tune in and let’s dive into the fascinating world of cognitive styles together. This conversation is packed with practical advice and actionable steps to help you grow and succeed!

In this episode, I reflect into the idea that it's not what we do, but what we tolerate that defines us. Using my own experiences, I show how putting up with negative behavior and bad traits can hold us back.

I talk about how important it is to stick to our values and principles when setting standards for ourselves and our teams.

Tune in and…

• Stop tolerating negative behavior and obstructive traits to foster growth and success
• Set standards for yourself and your team based on strong values and principles
• Identify what you're resentfully tolerating and make changes to align with your values

Ask yourself "What are you grudgingly tolerating instead of truly celebrating?" and take a look at your life and make changes to better align with your values!

“You are what you tolerate” by Dave Feidner

It's all about tuning out the external noise and doubts, grounding your confidence in your intentions.

I'm here to inspire you to make those small, consistent changes and fiercely protect your minimum commitments to achieve big results.

In this dynamic conversation, I dive deep with Brandon, a leadership and team-building expert, as we uncover the pitfalls of hiring mere task managers instead of unlocking employees' true potential. Brandon emphasizes the power of empowering employees, giving them the freedom to explore and make impactful decisions. Echoing Steve Jobs, he says, "We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do." Brandon highlights the necessity for leaders to be perpetual learners, discovering hidden talents and abilities within their teams.

So grab your earbuds and learn how to:

• Avoid the trap of hiring task managers—focus on extracting true value from your employees.
• Empower employees with the freedom to explore and make decisions for their growth and the business's success.
• Become a learner about your people—uncover their hidden talents and abilities.
• Cultivate curiosity and inquiry-based communication as key traits of effective leadership.
• Embrace self-awareness, continuous learning, and open-mindedness as essential leadership
