  • How to Start Your Journey to Self-Discovery, Self-Determination, and Self-Awareness with Rafael Andrade

    How to Start Your Journey to Self-Discovery, Self-Determination, and Self-Awareness with Rafael Andrade
    Jul 1 2021
    In this episode, David talks with the founder of Conarium Wellness, Rafael Andrade, about being an observer of yourself and your well-being, small changes that can make big differences, the mind-body-spirit connection, and more. 3 Favorite Points Becoming the observer of yourself Observing your own thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions Then, try to use that as a vehicle to make improvements The majority of us struggle with any significant change, so make small changes Science can be valuable but can open the door for collective confusion We live in a time where science has taken us to a place where everything is compartmentalized When you go smaller and focus on one part, we forget about the entirety of the being We need to focus on the human as a whole We are part of something larger than ourselves We have a spirit, a soul, and a mind Embrace all three of those and realize that you can't have one without the other Technologies integrated into processes and protocols Hyperbaric oxygen therapy- focus on breathing and oxygen absorption\ we don't breathe the right way Book: James Nester Breathe Improving the way we breathe has dramatic benefits for our health  Light therapy- we depend on sunlight to live We react to visible and invisible light Certain wavelengths benefit things like circadian rhythms, reduced inflammation, increased blood flow, etc. Movement- get the individual to become aware of their physiology Enteroception- internal perceptions- move in a healthier way/how the body was made to and wants to move.

  • How to Build Strong Relationships Through Emotional Intimacy with Naketa Thigpen

    How to Build Strong Relationships Through Emotional Intimacy with Naketa Thigpen
    Jun 30 2021
    In this episode, David talks with the President and CEO of ThigPro Balance & Relationship Management Institute, Naketa Thigpen, about nurturing emotional intimacy, how deepening intimacy can benefit you in the business world, the importance of setting boundaries, and more. 3 Favorite Points Leadership & Intimacy Intimacy means deepening connection  If you have customers, you should want customer intimacy to give them an experience of your brand, service, or product with a personalized/customized feel. You want customers and leaders to feel seen, heard, and appreciated Nobody wants to feel expendable Leadership intimacy work helps them see their skills, talents, and gifts and helps them appreciate all of those things. What can happen in nine months? The first couple of months is all about unraveling calcified chaos and confusion that's on top of their belief system- it shows up in their branding It takes two to three months to get people to be honest People think if they get vulnerable, you won’t see them as amazing as they are Just because you get vulnerable and might be a mess doesn’t mean you aren’t amazing in business Having & Setting Boundaries Set boundaries with people who are not adding to your life as much as they are taking  In real life- on stage- you have to show up with energy and vigor and be fully focused, but when you have leeches taking from you behind the curtains, it makes it hard to show up on stage with the same energy.  “We need to put some boundaries in place. Without them, there's no clear line for people to know what is okay and what isn't.” “Some people who truly do love you take advantage of you simply because you haven't made it clear that this is a line you cannot cross.” Learning to rid of the guilt that comes from setting boundaries Naketa Thigpen https://www.linkedin.com/in/naketathigpen/ (LinkedIn) David Thompson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidthompson2020/ (LinkedIn) Career Coach Pros: https://careercoachpros.com/ (website)
