Empowered Team Podcast

Pop quiz - do you have a growth or fixed mindset? Kari, in her continual quest for knowledge wanted to know and dug into Carol Dweck's work on the topic. This episode may surprise you and have you asking questions of yourself that could unlock the next level in your life. 

We're nearly through week one of the Empowered Reset and the participates (Paul included) have already experienced breakthroughs, started healthy new habits, and found more energy and joy in their lives. We're sorry you've missed this session but reach out to info@empowerconditioning.com if you'd like in on the next one, or access to great new tools we're building. Stay well!

We're all nice people aren't we? Of course we are, but if you think about an ex, or a rival team, or that one guy at work, what are your thoughts like towards that person or group? How do those thoughts affect you and do they have power over you or what you can accomplish? The answer might surprise you! Many of us are still stuck at home as North America slowly begins the process of reopening it's doors. Stay positive by listening to positive people, connecting with friends and family anyway you can, and keeping active. 

The first ever Empowered Reset launches tomorrow but we can still squeeze you in if you reach out to info@empowerconditioning.com by 7.00 pm tonight (Monday May 18th). We are stoked to be bringing 30 days of mindset work, physical training, spiritual growth and positivity to the high performers who've enrolled - you could be one of them! Stay well. 

"How you do anything ... is how you do everything!" great words that our guest today, Olympic Fencer Joseph Polossifakis lives by. Joseph competes in one of the fastest sports in the world and this left handed master of the sabre has had some incredible experiences. One of those experiences threatened his career and has left him with lingering effects to this day. A bad concussion in 2014 sidelined Joseph for almost a year but he found his way back to the piste in time for the qualification process for the Olympic games in Rio. Now he's facing new challenges with his competitions and qualifying for Tokyo up in the air. We're sure you're going to  enjoy this conversation with Joseph as much as we did!

As we spend week after week practising social distancing, spending the bulk of our time indoors, and isolating from others our mentality is being put to the test.

Another week of isolation and lock down presents with a great opportunity to do a little more work on our mindset. Never has it been more important to be aware of your state, your focus, and your thoughts. To support you in being your best mentally we've pulled one of Kari's recordings from the fall that hasn't aired yet - taking a look at the difference between "doing" all of the time and shifting focus on who we are being. In these challenging times keep disciplined with finding time for activity, eating well, and nourishing your mind. Connect with others any way you can and we'll all get through this pandemic together. Wishing you love and health - Kari & Paul.

These are challenging times and we're all being challenged to find a new way to do things, to overcome, and to thrive. With that in mind we bring you someone who has done that his whole life - choreographer, dancer, director, Mr. JJ Villar. Drive and determination brought JJ to the big stage from Bogota, Columbia. He's the holder of two world championship Drum Corp titles, he's worked with Wayne Foster Entertainment (think Gloria Gaynor, Toni Braxton), the Millennium Dance Complex, the Michael Jackson "One" show and Cirque Du Soleil. But away from the bright lights JJ has overcome incredible hardship and through it all is one of the most positive people you could meet. We think it's the perfect time to shine some light in your life with our guest JJ Villar. 

Thank you so much for your support. If you're wanting to connect with us for online training, public speaking events or more, simply send your request to info@empowerconditioning.com. We look forward to hearing from you! 

Crazy times friends, crazy times. Hopefully, you and your family are well and embracing the challenges the COVID-19 outbreak has presented us with. It's forcing us to think and act differently and that can be a good thing. Speaking of thinking, we wanted to share a recording with you that Kari made back at the start of the school year, taking a look at how to use your urges to create confidence. It's something we can all try and may give you the edge you need to up your game! Enjoy, and keep washing your hands.
