Alzheimer’s is a lifestyle type of disease that’s preventable.

Today's returning guest on the Going North Podcast is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, award-winning author, workshop leader and multi-time Gold Medalist California State Senior Olympics, Rico Caveglia. Rico and I talk about his newest ebook that talks about promoting a healthy brain.

Key Takeaways:

Have a wellness plan that includes good brain health.

Sitting too much causes a loss of mobility over time.

Our brain is just another organ in our body so what’s good for your body is also good for your brain.

A lack of sleep contributes to an unhealthy brain.

Keep your brain stimulated.

A healthy nutritional diet contributes to a healthy brain.

Everyone knows that they have to stay hydrated but are they actually drinking water.

“Sitting is the new smoking.”

Keep moving throughout your day.

“If you live with the news, you live with the blues.”

158 - "Faster, fewer, Better Emails" with Dianna Booher (@diannabooher) Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

Interrupted focus leads to a lower quality of work.

Today's featured bestselling author is Hall of Fame speaker, one of the top 3 communicators in the world and professional development legend, Dianna Booher. Dianna and I talk about her newest book "Faster, fewer, Better Emails", advice she would give to her younger self and more!

Key Takeaways:

Using “Reply All” inappropriately adds more unnecessary emails to everyone else’s inboxes.

Constantly responding to emails interrupts your thinking.

Check your email at least 2-3 times a day instead of every hour.

Build your personal brand by writing and publishing a book with a traditional publisher.

People spend an average of 2-3 hours daily on email.

“Don’t let email sap your productivity.”

Today's featured authors are communication experts and seminar leaders, Allan Kaufman, DTM & Allan Misch, DTM. Allan & Allan dive into ways to develop yourself into a better public speaker, what happens to those who don't confront their public speaking fear and tons more!!

Key Takeaways:

“No one is born a public speaker. It’s a learned skill.” – Allan Kaufman

Public speaking helps you to stand out, get promoted and gain more customers.

Attending regular Toastmasters meetings is one way to practice and develop your presentation skills.

Hiring a coach will amplify and advance your skills at a rapid rate.

Don’t let fear, especially the fear of public speaking hold you back from advancing your career or business.

There are 2 parts to overcoming public speaking fear. Developing your skills and finding the root cause of your fear that may be holding you back.

A speaker should always know their audience.

A speaker must have the main takeaway for their audience to receive from their message.

Always be willing to confront your fears.

“Communication is probably the most important thing that you do in your life.” – Allan Misch

Always seek feedback. Doing something the same way without feedback doesn’t help your growth.

Do your thinking on paper when you are thinking about what you need to do and where you need to be the following day.

During your reflection time before going to the bed, set the intention of your night by writing down 3 good things that happened to you that day.

4 days of lacking sleep leads to bad decision making, food cravings, and lack of resilience.
