Welcome to another engaging episode! Today’s guest embodies resilience and determination. Meet Caroline Miller, a celebrated author, speaker, and coach. Caroline joins host Gregory McDonough to discuss her journey of overcoming bulimia and the life lessons she's integrated into her work, including her book Big Goals. She dives into her evidence-based approach to goal setting, the importance of building a positive social circle, and how martial arts have strengthened her confidence and resilience.
Takeaways:
- Adopt an Endurance Mindset. Draw inspiration from personal struggles and use them as a foundation for resilience in leadership and communication.
- Cultivate a Positive Social Circle. Surround yourself with individuals who embody the qualities you aspire to achieve, as the behaviors and attitudes of close associates can significantly influence your own.
- Aim for Evidence-Based Goal Setting. Move beyond superficial goal-setting techniques like SMART goals and adopt scientifically backed methodologies.
- Embrace Lifelong Learning. Categorize goals appropriately as learning or performance goals and develop strategies accordingly.
- Effective Writing Practices. For aspiring authors, establish a clear writing process, allocate focused time for writing, and protect intellectual originality by avoiding competitors' works.
