What worked in the past is not adequate to help people succeed despite their challenges.

divorce, violence, suicides.

Workers• 83% fatigued and disengaged. • 85% planning to leave.• Under employed, stagnating.• Corporate/Institutional bullying

What are we doing about this?

How You

THINK

Of all the things you learn how to do, including how to find a

job and keep it…

Your ability to get started & succeed despite challenges

is dependent on one basic skill.

Surprisingly, people do not

receive training to improve that

one basic skill.

Because you can think, it’s assumed you don’t need to improve how you

think.

PROBLEM

Insanity Is TheChronic And Innocent Misuse Of Thoughts

Because you lack training on how to

think intentionally...

You unintentionally create a living hell

for yourself.

You start believing your own negative

self-talk…

Then sabotage the fulfillment of

your best intentions.

Major struggles are due to the emotional turmoil you innocently

create for yourself.

Job Hunters With The Wrong Mindset

Self-sabotaged by fear, worry, envy, doubt, and anger.

• Sleep later.

• Watch more TV during the day.

• Experience more sadness and depression.

• Become discouraged and stop looking.

Imagine The Worst

Experience less activity as their

job search continues

unsuccessfully.

Brookings Institute

Why are we not teaching job

hunters how to function with

the right mindset?

Next GenerationThey already know how to

look for jobs.

But not how to persevere until jobs can be found, or perform well despite their

circumstances.

Job Hunters With The Right Mindset

Expect Good Things

Land jobs with greater ease and are more rapidly

promoted.

National BureauOf Economic

Research

• More optimistic, personable and charismatic.

• More resilient - better coping skills.

• Even if not optimistic, appearing to be so improves performance and likeability.

Self-empowered by joy, optimism, excitement, enthusiasm, and

gratitude.

Why are we not teaching all

workers how to function with

the right mindset?

Why would we hire the jobless when they clearly lack the mindset and mental skills to succeed

despite their circumstances?

They’re just as discouraged and potentially unproductive as the workers we have on board.

Career educators previously reserved this remedy for “hard cases,” which they believed

were the minority of job hunters.

Today, nearly every job hunter is a “hard case,” as are the majority of workers.

Western University in Ontario is playing a lead role

Adrian OwenMD Neuroscientist

London, OntarioWestern Brain and Mind Institute

Discovered how to communicate with patients in a persistent vegetative state (damaged brain).

Who or what inside the patient activated the

damaged brain?

Scientists believe Dr. Owen has made an unprecedented discovery

of the mind or soul.

Your unseen mind does the thinking – it gives orders to your brain. It exists apart from the brain and body.

Science of the mind is the new

frontier for performance and health,

including the reduction of

stress and the prevention of

disease.

CONSCIOUSNESS

Your Brain Is A Transceiver

Dr. Pim van Lommel, MD

You are consciousness,

the boss.

Your body is a jacket.

What are all the creative options I

have to enjoy?

What is the safest and most feasible

thing I can do?

Embraces difficulties as an opportunity to

learn and grow.

Worries and dislikes being

jobless and broke.

QUANTUM YOUTEMPORARY YOU

Mind and Spirit (thought & emotion)

Science of MindPull people out of their heads, and bodies.

Help them understand how truly powerful they are.

Put hardships into context of coping for cultivation.

Teach them how to leverage the power of their mind to persevere and perform well.

Rejuvenated hope, optimism, resilience,

accountability, wellbeing.

Embraces difficulties as an opportunity to

learn and grow.

A Brain Surgeon’s NDE

• Professor of Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.

• Experienced rare E-coli Meningitis resulting in 7 day coma.

• Lost function of brain cortex, controlling thoughts and emotions.

• “I’m not the first to have discovered evidence that consciousness exists apart from the body.”

• “I’m a man of science, but have caught a glimpse of an emerging new picture of reality.”

Eben Alexander, MD

Description

• Interactive – beautiful realm.

• Ultra Real – more vivid and stunning than on Earth.

• No Need For Words – pure and complete communication.

• All Knowing – all questions were answered (unified field).

• Sense of Divine – and a divine presence.

• Sense of Love – an understanding of how important and powerful love is in this realm.

Conclusions

• Life is Learning – It’s about your spirit learning to manifest higher levels of love and compassion.

• Embrace Difficulties – hardships and challenges provide opportunities for learning and growth.

• Consciousness is Eternal – you are a spiritual being, not dependent on your brain.

• Meaning and Purpose – you are so much more than simply birth, death, and material possessions.

Eben Alexander, MD

Listen to the full interview on YouTube

Life on Earth is imperfect.

Hardships are tough.

Learning to love is a challenge.

And this is all by design for your benefit.

So you can appreciate an eternity of ease.

Common To All Humans

1. We are propelled by the emotions we create by how we think.

2. Our potential is not determined by the life circumstances we cannot control, but by our thoughts, which we can control.

3. We allow thoughts to happen automatically, or think negatively then blame others for how we caused ourselves to feel blue or fail.

4. We have the option to prevent this by improving how we think – our mindset.

THINK FEEL ACTFUEL ENERGY MOTION

Thoughts create emotions that

energize attitude & performance.

Favorable Thoughts Create Helpful Emotions

Joy, Optimism, Excitement, Enthusiasm,

Gratitude

Unfavorable Thoughts Create

Harmful Emotions

You assign meaning.

You control all reactions.

But not all circumstances.

Hello Mary, we decided to hire someone else who was better

qualified.

Mary, we decided to eliminate the

position you interviewed for.

Mary, we decided to put a 6 month hold on filling all of our positions.

You are responsible for your thoughts which makes

your reactions optional.

You are equipped to

succeed despite your difficult

circumstances (no excuses)

Avoid Automatic and Negative

Thoughts

Think Intentionally and Non-Negatively To Self Regulate

How You Feel And Perform

Self-Sabotage Unintentionally

Self-Empower Your Best Attitude,

Performance, Results,

Impressions

Self-Empowered Equipped To Succeed Despite Circumstances

• By regulating how I think – my mindset

• I can experience any emotion I choose

• Without regard to my circumstances.

What does this mean?

Mind (boss) decides to turn the

key.

Brain (transceiver) facilitates what you

choose to do.

It Means…

Conduct your search with the same emotions

you expect to have after you get a job.

Experience Any Emotion Without Regard To Your Circumstances.

You don’t need a job to feel like you

have a job.

Self-empower your joy, optimism, excitement,

enthusiasm, and gratitude.

See or Hear It Experience It Think About It

Not always within your

control.

OPTIONAL

Which Of These Is Always Optional?

Not always within your

control.

This remains the same as your circumstances change.

Persevere and perform

well, regardless.

WHY?Allows you to self-regulate your

fuel and energy to help you…

Cause and effect (danger) are immediately

apparent.

1 negative thought and associating with negative

people can prolong search 2 months.

I doubt they’ll hire me.

We don’t see the danger.
