Breakin’ the rules. That is what we are always doing here at Deviant Thinking. 

What rules am I talking about? All of those should’s and the conventional wisdom that is driving you crazy and limiting your career. 

Rule-breakers move ahead. 

Rule-breakers get noticed. 

And Rule-breakers flourish.

Rules are sneaky devils. They show up where we least expect them. They masquerade as protection, but what they really do is shackle our dreams and abilities. 

Today we explore rule-breaking. How do we identify these pesky buggers? What do we do with them? And how do we tell our well-meaning, rule-following, friends & family to take a hike when we want to break a rule. 

This is not an episode to tell you to do something illegal or immoral! On the contrary, the only crime here is you not living your life to the fullest. 

Check Out These Highlights:

(00:50) What do I mean by rules?
(04:26) How do we look at the rules that we need to break?’
(06:13) My favorite rule breaking question.  
(08:43) Challenge you to look at your current role or a role you would love to be in and think about. What are you assuming about that role? What rules are you making up?
(09:17) Examples of wisdom that often needs to be broken.
(14:15) What's the impact of having some of these limiting beliefs?
(14:54 )When you're breaking roles, you're going to make people uncomfortable. That's why those rules are there. People love rules. It keeps them safe.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
