HAVE YOU EVER HAD TROUBLE CONCENTRATING?
Perhaps your focus isn't as good as you'd like it to be. Or do you have one of those inner voices that constantly berates you and holds you back?
The good news is you're not alone. Everyone has these issues. It's how they deal with them that determines their level of success.
My guest on this episode of ‘A Cuppa with The Con Versationalist’ is Darren Fleming. Darren is a speaker, author and trainer to some of the largest companies in Australia and around the world including CISCO, Caterpillar and Komatsu.
His latest book Mindset Mastery was published earlier this year and is currently being translated into Japanese. In it he shows you how to deactivate distracting thoughts, quieten that inner voice so you can have the concentration and focus you need to get through the day.
Darren has studied psychology at UniSA and philosophy at Oxford. And each year he puts himself through a 10-day silent meditation retreat which he says teaches him more than any university course ever could.
In this jam-packed episode, Darren shared his insights on:
· The conflicting information is popular self-help books and the one common aspect of them all.
· We spend 20 minutes convincing ourselves we want chocolate then when we finally give in, we spend the next 20 minutes berating ourselves. Sound familiar?
· Some people are open to sharing success such as new cars holidays on social media, yet some don’t. Darren shared his thought process around eventually sharing his childhood dream which he recently achieved.
· Imposter syndrome, fear of failure and procrastination.
