Burnout starts when we're operate outside of our zone of genius, out of alignment with our values, and when we've lost touch with our joy.

Sheryl Raphael Whitaker has spent the majority of her career making a case most leadership conversations are afraid to make. Joy is not a reward. It's an operating system. As a leadership coach, talent strategist, author of “It Starts with Joy,” and a host of a weekly show by the same name, Sheryl says difference between those two mindsets changes everything about how you lead.

Her frame starts with a mindset shift that sounds deceptively simple. Many leaders spend their careers believing that joy is not something one can expect at work. They focus their personal development on building skills and capabilities instead of understanding what makes them tick.

Joy at work isn't something you unlock when conditions improve. It's an internal alignment that runs underneath everything, steady and available, regardless of what's happening around you.

Sheryl also draws a line that most personal development conversations tend to blur. You're either leading from joy or from fear. That's not a criticism. It's a diagnosis. Most of what we call toxic leadership, she says, is just fear that never got named.

What makes her approach to authentic leadership different is where she locates it. Joy isn't the reward waiting at the end of a hard season. It's your chief operating officer, running before the meeting starts, before the difficult conversation, before the decision that keeps you up at night. Sheryl knows what it costs an organization when leaders hand that operating system over to their circumstances.

This conversation is for the leader, coach, and OD professional who knows something feels misaligned but hasn't found the language for it yet.

Sheryl's invitation is direct. You don't have to wait for conditions to be right.

You can lead from who you actually are, right now, even when the people around you are hiding it.

In this episode, Sheryl answers the following questions:
- How to find more joy in your work?
- How to be happy at work when you hate it?
- How to make work fun and enjoyable?
- As a leader, am I allowed to have fun and experience joy?

You already have everything you need to build the life you want. The only thing standing between you and it?

Your beliefs haven't caught up…yet. And the limiting beliefs you do have are impacting your personal development.

Our guest, Brooklyn Dicent, reveals why high-achievers stay stuck on their personal growth path even when they know exactly what they want. What they need is a shift in their mindset.

Brooklyn is an expert in activating people to shift their state. With recent speeches at TEDx and at the United Nations, she brings together the science of the subconscious mind and the practical tools of belief change to help high-achievers unlock the life they've always known is possible.

Brooklyn shows how the same mindset tools that built your current life can be reprogrammed, at the subconscious level, to build the one you actually want.

What You'll Discover:
• Why you will never outperform your beliefs, and how to change them
• How your thoughts quietly create your results, both positively and negatively
• What "theta state" is and why it's your brain's natural reprogramming window
• Why comfort is the real enemy of the life you want
• How to make SHIFT happen using the tools you already have

In this episode, Brooklyn answers the following questions:
• How to rewrite our limiting beliefs?
• How to get rid of limiting beliefs?
• How do I make a change in my beliefs?
• How do I get unstuck?
