Episode 79: [The Three M’s] Mindset: It’s More than Just Limiting Beliefs

As coaches, we are very familiar with mindset work. Today I’m taking a step back and sharing my definition of mindset and the things that I focus on when I'm working with clients and when I'm training people to become certified coaches.

79: [The Three M's] Mindset: It's More than Just Limiting Beliefs

Mindset work is so much more than uncovering and reframing limiting beliefs. I have a lot of thoughts when it comes to mindset and I wrote about many of them in my book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.

Mindset work is so much more than uncovering and reframing limiting beliefs.

I have a lot of thoughts when it comes to mindset and I wrote about many of them in my book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness. I'm really proud of this book and I also found that since publishing it in 2019, my understanding of each of the three M's has continued to grow and develop.

Today we’re wrapping up our three-part series about the three M's by talking about the third and last M, which is mindset.

As coaches, many of us incorporate mindset work in our client practice and it can be an integral part of our work. I want to take a step back and talk a little bit about what mindset really is and how it's being misused in the coaching industry.

Topics covered

  • The concepts of mindset and mindset work
  • Viewing fixed and growth mindsets on a spectrum
  • The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach to mindset
  • Why limiting beliefs are only one part of mindset work
  • Creating space between your thoughts and your identity
  • Learning how to live in and with uncomfortable emotions
  • Passive acceptance versus active acceptance
  • What coaches need to remember about doing mindset work with our clients

TRANSCRIPT

 

Well, hello, my friend. Welcome to the Coach with Clarity Podcast. My name is Lee Chaix McDonough, I'm your host and today we are wrapping up our three part series about The Three M's. So if you have been listening, you know that we have already covered mindfulness and meaning. So today, we are going to finish things up by talking about the third and last M, which is mindset. Now, I have a lot of thoughts when it comes to mindset. And I wrote about many of them in my book, “ACT on Your Business, Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness”. So if you have not yet gotten your copy of that book, all you have to do is head to CoachwithClarity.com/getthebook. That'll take you right to the Amazon page where you can get your copy in either paperback or Kindle. The book takes an even deeper dive into The Three M's: meaning, mindset, and mindfulness. And the processes that we can use to build profitable, sustainable businesses and joyful, fulfilling lives. I'm really proud of this book. And yet, I also found that after I published it in 2019, my understanding of each of The Three M's continued to grow and develop. And there's so much more to these concepts than I even talked about in the book. That's why I wanted to share this three part series about The Three M's with you, to elaborate and share some of my new ideas about them. And I definitely feel that way when it comes to mindset.
