UPWIRE®: Unlocking Your True Potential

UPWIRE #33 - In the Climb

The brain is capable of rising but is hard-wired to glide and fall.  Being “in the climb” requires one of the simplest yet most powerful skill sets.  
In this podcast, we'll examine how to UPWIRE your ingenuity and momentum by entering - and maintaining - the climb and achieve what others consider “impossible.” 

UPWIRE #158 - Build More, Run Less

The brain often mistakes effort and motion for progress, tricking us into thinking we're getting somewhere.
In this 2-Minute Friday episode of UPWIRE, we'll learn how to Build More and Run Less.

UPWIRE #31 - Imperfect Rise

By nature, the brain waits, seeking perfect in every aspect of our lives.  But no matter how skilled or diligent we get at seeking perfect, perfect never happens.
Exceptional leaders and teams know that life and breakthrough successes are all about the imperfect rise.  And in this podcast, we'll take a look at how you can develop and implement this simple technique to UPWIRE your life.

UPWIRE #30 - How Deep Does Courage Reach?

Exceptional leaders and teams make it look easy to demonstrate courage.  It is not.  It is a choice to be made again and again every day from the depths of the human heart and spirit. 
How much does the most amazing future matter to you?  Enough to continually take significant risks – whether large or small – to grow and see it through?

UPWIRE #29 - Grooves vs. Growth

"Our patterns are our prisons." My grandfather was keenly aware of the human brain's preference to play small rather than rise to meet our expectations and true abilities.
In this podcast, we'll take a look at why our brain prefers to keep us repeating old habits, and how we can break through these pervasive barriers and UPWIRE our behavior to achieve our best possible future.

UPWIRE #27 - Emotional Fuel

The human brain easily notices and magnifies the smallest perceived negative, while missing genuine acts of ingenuity, kindness, and breakthroughs.
In this podcast, we'll take a look at a simple performance-elevating technique for turning every negative feeling into productive forward-upward fuel.

UPWIRE #26 - Constructive Discontent

In order to achieve amazing results, consciously design your environment with more of what bugs you in order to drive the changes that matter.

UPWIRE #25 - Dare To Trust

Left on its own, the brain is hard-wired to drift away from trust, preferring to focus on fear, worry, doubt and distance.
In this podcast, we'll take a look at how exceptional leaders and teams dare to trust in order to achieve meaningful relationships and productive collaborations.

UPWIRE #24 - Check In vs. Space Out

Left to its own natural instincts, the brain is blissfully unaware of its level of engagement with the world and your priorities.
Exceptional leaders and teams understand the risk of this non-peak-engagement: the difference between mediocre and meaningful, between “trapped in the blur” and leading and then changing the game.

UPWIRE #23 - Bury Your Crystal Ball

The human brain imagines it has a magic crystal ball that can decipher people's motives and intentions and see beneath the surface of life.
But the truth about other people and life is rarely what we initially assume it to be.
In this podcast, we learn how to move beyond this trap, and how this new sense of clarity speeds the right progress sooner.
