18. Effective Communication: The Power Of Speech Therapy with Meera Deters May 05, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever been misunderstood? Maybe you have an accent or you just didn't know how to communicate effectively with the person before you. When most people think of speech therapy they think of lisps, or the inability to pronounce a letter correctly and you aren't wrong! But did you know it can also help upgrade your communication to enhance your workplace and every area of your life?

Today on The Unlimited Potential show we have an amazing guest Meera Deters. Meera is the owner of Super Speech Solutions a business dedicated to helping adults and children communicate more effectively. With a Master's degree in Speech and Pathology and 14 years of experience, Meera has recently stepped into the shoes of an entrepreneur to bring this online service to her clients. When she isn't thinking about speech she loves spending time with her husband, watching hallmark movies, cooking, and walking her dog.

On today's episode, you'll get insight into the power of speech therapy and the importance of being able to communicate with people in your workplace and at home. Meera talks about the benefit that speech therapy can have in the workplace, how accent modification can open up new doors, learning the best way to talk with someone, and even how you can raise an effective communicator within your children!

You'll learn how you can identify the signs of your child needing speech therapy, why this important to spot early on, and how you can help them at home to grow and become the communicator they need to be. Join us as we discuss the importance of not only being understood but showing that you understand the person you are talking to.

We think you'll really enjoy this episode and hope it sheds some light for either your or your loved ones in the area of communication. If you would like to know more about Meera or reach out to her for her services check out the links below!

17. The Ultimate Edge: Fixed vs, Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck (Part Two) Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

If you've listened to The Unlimited Potential Show you've heard us talk about the importance of mindset and how it can make or break where you want to go in life. Today's episode is the second in a two-part series going in-depth into which mindset is holding you back and what can slingshot you into success. If you haven't listened to the first part yet, stop this now and check out our previous episode!

In this second episode, we talk about how you can start incorporating the growth mindset into your life, and how it can affect our kids, athletics, business, and even leadership. Listen in as we talk about the conversations we can have without kids to instill a growth mindset and how kindly telling them the truth can actually create more motivation and realistic expectations for the work they have put in.

You'll learn about a study of Olympic swimmers that found not one of them was considered the best swimmer at their high schools and how being naturally talented doesn't necessarily dictate how far you go. We talk about the importance of having a growth mindset in leadership and how you can spot a potential employee that has the same mindset within their work ethic. You'll gain practical steps on how to overcome a fixed mindset and acknowledge the areas where you need growth.

Challenge brings growth, and can open opportunities, doors, and abilities you never knew you had!

16. The Ultimate Edge: Fixed vs Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck (Part One) Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

If you've listened to The Unlimited Potential Show you've heard us talk about the importance of mindset and how it can make or break where you want to go in life. Today we start a two-part series going in-depth into which mindset is holding you back and what can slingshot you into success.

Carol Dweck is a Stanford Psychologist who has pioneered the idea of the 'Fixed vs Growth Mindset.' If you've ever said to yourself, "That's just the way I am" then you may be a victim of a fixed mindset. We discuss the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, how you can identify them within yourself, and even how it may have been ingrained in us since elementary school.

Paying attention to your everyday life, what you say, how you behave, and what you think of yourself is a big indicator of where you are in your mindsets and how you can better yourself with just a few simple practices. You'll learn how to differentiate in your own life where your mindsets differ and how you can improve in every area even if you previously thought it impossible.

So listen in as we deep dive into Carol Dweck's book and analyze it with open minds and ears. For more information about the "Mindset" book, or more information about others we talk about in this episode check the links below.

15. Upgrade Every Area Of Your Life Through Self-Analysis with Shivam Khanna Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

"Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is something you attract by the person you become." - Jim Rohn

If you've been around business or you're an entrepreneur you know that every quarter there's a point where you have to take stock, see what is working, see what is not working, and come up with solutions to any issues you find. However, as humans we tend to lean away from the issues that might be causing trouble in our lives.

Have you taken stock of yourself lately?

Today's episode is a special one, we have our first guest Shivam Khanna! Shivam is a managing partner of the GS Dallas group, a graduate of Southern Methodist University, former CEO of Need For Health Group, and in his free time he enjoys playing volleyball, teaching at his temple, and spending time with friends and family. You'll learn about an amazing tool that Shivam created when he noticed a disconnect between his professional life and his personal life.

You'll hear how Shivam realized that the tools he was using every day in the professional world to keep businesses in a constant state of growth could be applied to his personal life as well. While his life at work was growing and flourishing he found himself asking if he was truly where he wanted to be, and from there created an amazing Self-Analyzing template that covered every area of his life from goals to weaknesses, desires, fears, and even analyzing the reason why he reacts the way he does.

Join us as we learn more about the Self-Analyzing template, breaking through limiting mindsets, and even facing your fears head-on! You'll learn how to use this tool to take stock of every area in your life and begin to find incredible growth and transformation in areas you may have never even thought about. Keep this episode close because it is overflowing with insight and thought processes that will have you coming back to deepen your understanding of yourself.

Imagine the best possible version of yourself, what you do, how you interact with your family, how you look.

Today we talk about shifting your identity and aligning yourself with the person you want to become to create a bigger and longer-lasting impact in your life.

13. Warrior Mindset vs The Monk Mindset: Become Extraordinary In Every Scenario Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." -Sun Tzu.

Hey, Dr. Ram and Chris here! Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! As you already know if you listen to our show, preparation is important, right? People spend months getting ready for their wedding, their first day on the job, people spend years in school preparing for their career of choice, the list goes on.

In our culture, it seems like preparation is only applied for big moments in one's life. What if we approached everything with that level of preparation and intentionality? Mind, body, spirit, career, family life, all of it.

This concept is why in today's episode we are talking about the warrior mindset and the monk mindset and the importance of balancing the two. This is a concept we read about in the book The Buddha and the Badass: The Secret Spiritual Art of Succeeding at Work.

Listen in to hear our thoughts on this approach to living, how mental preparation is often more important than physical preparation, putting yourself in the mental state and mindset for success is of the utmost importance, and so much more.

PS: Today we kick off the show with some of the hardest 'would you rather questions we have ever answered. We would love to hear your answers too, DM us on Instagram or LinkedIn! Check out the links below.

11. The Architect of The Future: Understanding Elon Musk Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Einstein, Newton, Tesla, these are names we all know, they are amazing thought leaders, innovators, and radical thinkers that brought ingenuity and wonder into the world. These radical thinkers are still around and in today's episode, we talk about one of the biggest out there, Elon Musk.

We discuss the amazing advances technology has made within the last 20 years from giant computers in the '80s to the ever-growing popularity and science of esports. These things show off the complexity of the human brain and the unlimited potential of what we as human beings are capable of. But every once in a while, there is someone that exceeds even the big expectations of growing as a human race.

Diving into the mind of Musk and any other radical thinker is something we believe deeply in here on the Unlimited Potential show, we talk about Musk's professional history, how he has built and sold multiple million-dollar companies and continues to do so. We discuss his vision, how he builds the future through his mindset, and even how he keeps up his seemingly endless ambition.

Join us as we deconstruct Musk's psychology and how it has gotten him to create life-changing inventions, as well as our own thoughts and takeaways from his methods and ideologies. Unlimited potential is available if we are willing to believe and let ourselves see things from a different perspective.

10. How Admitting You're Wrong Can Make You Better Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever wondered what makes entrepreneurs like Gary Vee run? He has tons of pursuits, is always changing, always learning and it's not just copious amounts of caffeine that makes him successful.

In today's episode, we discuss two different mindsets that might have you reflecting on how you react to other people. Think about when someone tells you that you're wrong, do you tense up and get defensive, or does it strike your curiosity? You can't have a right or wrong answer to this, but it may give you insight into just what kind of mindset you hold, the soldier or the scout.

We talk about the balance needed between these two mindsets and how you can practically work towards a more open mind that will have you growing, changing, and learning faster than you ever have before. Understanding where you are in your journey for unlimited potential comes with being honest with yourself, and those around you to create stronger, more valuable, and more communicative relationships.

Admitting you are wrong and changing your mind is not a sign of weakness, but rather, is the ultimate strength.

For more info on the soldier vs. scout mindset and how you can continue your mindset journey check out the video links below!
