  • It’s Your Turn | Episode 326

    February 1st, 2022  |  16 mins 36 secs

    Jim Ellerymeyer and Producer Mike ask if you’ve ever felt it was your turn. How are we able to look from the outside in to improve our outlook on life and avoiding internalizing your negative perceptions?  Thinking objectively and honestly.  How is purposeful fixedness keeps limiting individuals and their divergent thinking?  How are we losing that ability as we live our lives and the way of thinking society puts us in? We explore neuro linguistic programming to help the language in your head to change your perception.
