Today’s mini-episode is the latest edition of my Case of the Mondays newsletter, a free newsletter I send out exclusively to my subscribers every Monday morning with my latest thoughts, strategies, and tips for better managing the crazy balancing act between work & life. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather design a career where I’m excited about Mondays instead of dreading them. To be the first to receive next week’s newsletter, to read today’s episode in addition to listening, and for access to all of the past newsletters in the Case of the Mondays archives, simply visit optimizeyourself.me/mondays.

eduardo-briceno-bio — **The Performance Paradox - How Only Focusing On Performance Leads to Performing Worse | with Eduardo Briceño** Aug 22, 2023

**Eduardo Briceño** is a global keynote speaker that has been guiding many of the world’s leading companies in developing cultures of high performance and effective learning. He is the author of the book, THE PERFORMANCE PARADOX: Turning the Power of Mindset into Action (to be released on September 5th) and is an absolute powerhouse of information on what the growth mindset actually is and how you can achieve it.
In our conversation, Eduardo and I dive deep into the science of how the human mind learns at different ages, and why understanding this is the key to unlocking your ability to learn more deeply in ways that are far more fulfilling (as opposed to our previous conditioning at a young age that learning sucks). Eduardo explains how you can avoid what he calls the Performance Paradox, where high performing individuals become in danger of being stuck due to the fact that they are no longer learning, they are just doing what they know best over a long period of time.
If you’re looking to not only advance your current level of success, but maintain that success long term (or get un-stuck if you feel as if you’re running in place), this conversation is for you. Eduardo completely reframes the process of learning and reaching your own peak level of high performance in ways that are both simple to understand and fulfilling to practice. The insights you'll learn from our discussion are invaluable in order to help you grow not only in your career, but your life in general.

**Shiran Carolyn Amir, ACE** is a film and television editor, who is also actively involved in the Motion Picture Editors Guild. She's worked on projects such as *9-1-1, Z-Nation, Chucky,* *Fear The Walking Dead*, *The OA,* and Love Victor. What’s unique to Shiran’s success story is the method she has used in order to reroute her career and pursue her dream work. Counterintuitively, it involves not working at all. In our conversation today, Shiran shares with us the strategy she uses to step away from work so that she can dive all into pursuing what is most fulfilling to her (which is helping others).
Beyond her unique strategies for developing a fulfilling life and career, Shiran is also here to share with us how providing genuine value is the key to strengthening your community and creating a strong, supportive network. In a world where there is no shortage of highly skilled workers, providing value is how Shiran went from zero connections in the industry to working as an editor with an Eddie nomination. While Shiran’s career path might look like a string of “luck”, as you’ll learn today, it came after she focused on providing value, not as a strategy, but as a heartfelt human desire.
If you’re interested in expanding your network, looking to extend your reach in the world, or, want more fulfillment in your life, this conversation is for you. Shiran’s strategies are simple enough that anyone can apply them (and clearly effective enough that you should). Beyond learning some great new strategies, you’ll hear all about Shiran’s unique life story that is sure to leave you feeling inspired.

**Dan Davis** is the founder and CEO of Stiry, as well as an award winning documentary filmmaker of over 250 films (yes, you read that correctly). If you’re wondering how Dan has the time and energy to make all of these films, we'll definitely be answering that for you in our conversation! For the majority of our conversation today, however, Dan and I will be discussing his inspiring life story of overcoming multiple health conditions (including undergoing a last minute life saving surgery) that in turn fueled his calling to help others uncover their own unique purpose.
Through Dan’s incredible experience, he learned the power that telling your story has when it comes to self-discovery and identifying your deeper calling. By creating Stiry or “stories that stir”, as well as writing his book *This Is My Story*, Dan provides as many people as he can with the tools it takes to not only better identify their deeper calling, but learn how to share that with others through the power of story.
If you’ve been feeling as if you’re unsure of your real purpose, or perhaps you know what that is but are unclear on the steps necessary to transition to that role, this conversation is for you. Dan and I dive deep into the steps he outlines in his book (which is also a workbook) so that you can get started uncovering your own answers. As I mentioned in my interviews and articles, we're in COVID 2.0 right now (minus the COVID) and there’s no better time than now for you to listen to Dan’s advice and get started clarifying your next steps towards where you really want to be in life.

Today's guest is **Dr. Jessica Higgins**, a licensed psychologist and relationship coach. Now you might be wondering why we’re going to talk to a psychologist about relationships today, but while Dr. Higgins specializes in treating couples, our conversation covers the entire spectrum of building and maintaining relationships - even professional ones. Relationship building is a key strategy I teach in my Advance Yourself course, and beyond that a key component of joy and fulfillment (or not) in our lives.
In our conversation, we discuss what really goes on behind the scenes when it comes to the start of any personal or professional relationship, and how that attraction can so easily shift to conflict. Dr. Higgins shares the deeper roots of how we form conflict with others and in turn, how we can better manage these situations and come to a resolution rather than burn a bridge. By more deeply understanding how relationships work, we can change the game when it comes to our personal connections and professional network.
I cannot stress enough the valuable insights I have learned from Dr. Higgins and know you will have your own eye-opening experiences by listening to what she has to share. Her strategies in dealing with conflict, understanding who to connect with (and *how*) are in perfect alignment with what I teach my students in the **Optimizer Coaching and Mentorship program**. Beyond all of the helpful information Dr. Higgins provides in our conversation, she also shares a free guide which can be downloaded **here** to help you communicate better in your relationships.

**Here's What You'll Learn:**

The real difference between a therapist and a coach (and which one you need)
The different forms of “attachment styles” and how knowing them can transform how we relate to others
Why opposites really do attract, and why it’s important to know this
How our nervous system is involved with non verbal communication (and why this matters)
The most common misconceptions of conflict and why it’s important to understand where they are coming from
How to identify patterns of relationship conflicts (and why you should)
The single most important question to ask when you are in any conflict - even professionally
How you can help someone who doesn’t want to be helped
How to structure a conversation during conflict so that you can actually find a resolution
