Mental belastende Situationen – so gehen wir damit um | Episode 14

In this episode, we delve into the concept of 'inner resistance', a common challenge many face in their daily lives. We explore how gamification transforms this resistance into an engaging and enjoyable game, providing a unique approach to personal development and goal achievement. Key Highlights: Understanding Inner Resistance: We define what inner resistance is and how it manifests in our daily routines, hindering our productivity and progress. The Power of Gamification: The core of our discussion revolves around gamification as a transformative tool. We introduce this concept as a strategy to make daunting tasks more approachable and fun, turning daily challenges into games. Best Practice Example - Fitness Apps: We dive into a compelling case study of fitness apps like 'Zombies, Run!', illustrating how gamification in training can significantly increase motivation and engagement. These apps transform routine exercises into exciting missions, demonstrating the effectiveness of gamification in overcoming resistance. Strategies for Gamified Success: Practical tips and strategies are provided to integrate gamification into everyday life. We emphasize how small, game-like steps can lead to consistent progress and make overcoming resistance a rewarding experience. Conclusion: The episode concludes with a powerful message on the benefits of gamifying life's challenges. We encourage listeners to adopt this approach, viewing each day as an opportunity for new 'levels' and 'missions', transforming their journey of personal and professional growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of procrastination and embrace a more fulfilling, gamified approach to life and training. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/our-future-talks/message

In this episode 25 we're taking a jump into the exciting world of gamification and how it can be a game-changer for climate action. I'm thrilled to share something very close to my heart: The idea of the Challenge4Future. This is not just a project we started this year; it's the beginning of a new community we - my team and I at Tracemaker Trainings, want to establish. It's about turning the seriousity of sustainability in business into an engaging, rewarding, and fun experience. But why gamification? Well, it taps into something deeply rooted within us—the desire to play, to compete, and to achieve. By leveraging these intrinsic motivations, we can transform the way we think about and act upon climate change. It's not just about the science or the statistics; it's about bringing those facts to life, making them tangible, and, most importantly, making the action they require irresistible.

Some sneak preview into the deep dive:  Let´s look at this quote by Tony Robbins, the famous coach and speaker: The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment." Having an impact is something that many ambitious people have in common. Where the impact goes, however, is where ambitions differ. Let's assume we are in a community of like-minded people who are striving for more sustainability in business. Here, the impact is the positive effect of one's own efforts towards more sustainability on living beings and ecosystems that are worth protecting and in need of protection. Now I would like to continue the journey of thought: Does this active protection then come about through personal imagination and commitment alone? There must be more than just that… More to hear in this episode!

Some sneak preview into the deep dive: Our society is created within the last few years with the quality of quickness. To be quick is a great quality and a positive thing because being slowly is rather an obstacle in our lives. Thinking slowly is not hot. Thinking quickly is assumed as being efficient and to be better than the average. The truth is, we need taking actions quickly because of many huge challenges in our societies are lying ahead of us. That's the climate change. That's poverty, injustice. It's about not enough education chances for children in many regions of the world. But the other truth is to think quickly does not always lead to best solutions. Clean thinking, therefore, is the guarantee to consider the best solutions for complex problems and clean thinking needs time.  More to hear in this episode! My two coaching questions as a take-away:  When did you observe yourself thinking about something actively within the last days or weeks?  And who or what motivates you to observe your thoughts for at least a few minutes today? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/our-future-talks/message

Herzlich willkommen bei nicht mehr Home Sweet Business Home - ja richtig gelesen! Unsere Sommerpause war sehr bewegt - aus 4 Wochen sind 8 Wochen Podcast-freie Zeit geworden und wie das so ist: In der Zeit entstehen neue Ideen die sich durchsetzen und erstmal volle Aufmerksamkeit verlangen. Für alle die zum ersten Mal dabei sind heute: Wir sind Silke und Melli und seit über 30 Jahre Freundinnen, die jetzt im Jahr 2023 ein neues gemeinsames Thema gefunden haben: Unser Business-Aufbau. In den ersten 20 Podcast-Episoden ging es um alles, was uns im Business und manchmal auch privat beschäftigt - den Dialog haben wir jedes mal versucht so zu fokussieren, dass es auch für euch als Hörerinnen und Hörer interessant sein könnte. Jedenfalls dann interessant, wenn ihr eine hohe Affinität für die digitale Tools im Berufsleben habt, damit liebäugelt, KI besser verstehen zu lernen und aber auch neben dem ganzen digitalen eine große Portion Interesse für das Thema Persönlichkeitsentwicklung mitbringt.  Denn genau das ist unser Deep Dive in unseren Talks: Was haben wir bislang in den ersten vier Jahrzehnten unseres Lebens gelernt, was wir heute im Business gut anwenden können? Damit verbunden ging es auch immer wieder darum, dass wir unsere Buchtipps oder Podcast-Tipps ausgetauscht haben - ja, meine Leseliste in 2023 u.a. deswegen immens länger geworden, mit allen den Inputs von Silke.  Stichwort Silke - wo ist sie? Was ist los?  Silke und ich haben diesen Podcast quasi als Hobby gestartet und uns vorgenommen, erstmal zu testen: Wieviel Spaß macht es uns, wie groß ist der Aufwand? Antworten zu beiden Fragen: Viel! Viel Spaß, aber auch viel Aufwand. Der Teufel steckt im Detail, bis eine Episode fertig vorbereitet, aufgenommen, geschnitten und hochgeladen ist, sodass sie unserem Qualitätsanspruch genügt.  Und jetzt kommt die Krux: Bei Silke gibt es News aus ihrer Business-Welt, aber die möchte ich heute noch nicht verraten. Aber wegen dieser News gibts erstmal ein paar Episoden-Solos von mir in der nächsten Zeit. Dafür kürzer - ich habe ja nur halb so viel zu erzählen ohne meine Bestie. Trotzdem sind die Podcast-Talks immer stark Silke-geprägt - weil uns auch die größten Veränderungen nicht auseinanderbringen - wir schreiben und telefonieren immer noch mehrmals pro Woche, aber nicht mit dem Record-Button gedrückt. Dieser Trailer ist der Einstieg in die zweite Staffel unseres Podcasts, und die nächste Folge kommt dann am darauffolgenden Montag raus - vom Timing wie gewohnt. Aber mit Änderungen - denn es heißt jetzt erst recht “Raus aus der Komfortzone!” Deswegen gibts diesen Podcast ab nächster Woche von mir in englischer Sprache - warum erzähle ich dann nächste Woche in stark eingekürzter Länge auf unter 10 Minuten pro Ausgabe Außer wenn ich interview-Gäste einlade - dann gehört die Zeit meinen Gesprächspartnern ohne Limit mit einem neuen Podcast-Cover denn der Titel ändert sich von Home Sweet Business Home auf vorerst “Future Talks”. Danke für euer Interesse!

bis 05:13 Challenge Rückblick: Befinden wir uns in innerer Balance oder was für absolute Ungleichgewichte kommen zutage, an denen wir knabbern? Unser Podcast-Gespräch beginnt sehr beschwingt, wie unserer Hörerinnen und Hörer merken.  ab 05:14 Deep Dive: Die Kunst des Zuhörens und was es mit Basilikum-Fliegen zu tun hat. Das mit den Basilikum-Fliegen erklären wir zum Schluss - erstmal warum dieses Deep Dive Thema: Über die große Überraschung, dass aktives Zuhören keine Selbstverständlichkeit ist, obwohl es so einfach klingt. Und warum kraftvolles Fragen-stellen die Kunst ist, seinem Gegenüber klare Gedanken zu entlocken. Unsere Erkenntnis: Je mehr wir uns beim Zuhören aufrichtig Mühe geben, umso besser wird die Qualität und Tiefe einer Konversation.  ab 17:40 Digital Hack: Es geht um die Plattform masterclass.com - ein Eldorado für Weiterbildungs-Freudige Menschen, die keine Scheu vor englischsprachigen Masterclass-Videos haben. Die Website bietet ihren Abonnenten im Jahrespaket Zugriff auf eine große Tthemenvielfalt und garantiert damit, auch mal über den eigenen Tellerrand hinauszublicken.  ab 21:00 Buch-Tipp: Autor Cixin Liu hat einen Bestseller nach dem anderen veröffentlicht - und ist der meistverkaufte Science-Fiction-Autor aus China und eine der wichtigsten Stimmen der internationalen Science-Fiction. “Wandering Earth” ist die Sammlung von elf Geschichten - jedes in rund 45 Minuten Lesezeit inhaliert. “Wandering Earth” - geschrieben vor rund 20 Jahren - ist eine Ode an den Planeten Erde, seine Vergangenheit und seine Zukunft. ab 26:40 Diesmal keine Challenge der Woche, sondern eine Challenge des Lebens: Aktives Zuhören im Alltag und sich selbst dabei überraschen, wie schwierig das manchmal ist und gleichzeitig wie stark es die Wahrnehmung beim Umgang miteinander verändern kann. Der positive Satz voller Energie - gültig seit 2.500 Jahren: “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” Konfuzius --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/our-future-talks/message
