In this episode of Connect Inspire Create, I explore the power of giving yourself permission to procrastinate. I challenge the common perception of procrastination as a negative habit and share how intentional procrastination can lead to creativity, focus, and better decision-making.

Grab some practical tips for embracing productive procrastination, including setting small goals, using procrastination as self-care, and tracking time with techniques like Pomodoro.

Tune in for a fresh perspective on procrastination and how it can enhance your productivity with ease and flow.

What if you could train your brain to spend more time supporting you—and less time sabotaging you?

With the Positive Intelligence app, daily guided practices (available on your phone or computer) help you build mental fitness by strengthening your Sage mindset.

Over time, you’ll find yourself spending more time in calm, clear, creative thought—and less time reacting to stress, self-doubt, or overwhelm.

This shift is measurable through your Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ)—and it starts with one small step at a time.

Curious how it works? It's all in this episode and welcome back to season 6 of Connect Inspire Create.

This Trello board is designed to help you easily track your most important tasks, stay accountable, and feel confident that you’re moving your business forward, even on busy weeks.

What if you could unlock the secrets to mastering your mind and living a more balanced life? Join us as I welcome my guest Madelaine Weiss, a Harvard-trained Licensed Psychotherapist and Mindset Expert, with an MBA and Board-Certification in Executive, Career, and Life Coaching, who shares not only her professional wisdom but also heartwarming personal stories.

As the bestselling author of “Getting to G.R.E.A.T. 5-Step Strategy for Work and Life,” a coauthor in the “Handbook of Stressful Transitions Across the Lifespan,” Madelaine recently released her personal development book for kids, “What’s Your Story?” The book aims to help young people build lives of resilience, performance, and overall well-being, making it a thoughtful gift for families. By incorporating the hero's journey and other engaging exercises, the workbook encourages children to explore their own narratives and develop a strong sense of self-awareness.

One of the core topics discussed in this episode is the GREAT strategy, a transformative five-step approach to personal growth. Grounding, Recognition, Exploring, Action, and Taming (T) are the pillars of this strategy, which helps individuals transition from psychotherapy to coaching.

Madelaine highlights the importance of grounding in belief and creating a supportive space for clients, enabling them to overcome personal obstacles and foster change. The discussion on action emphasizes the Goldilocks principle, encouraging listeners to take steps that are neither too daunting nor too insignificant, but just right to spur motivation and creativity.
