Mindset Profits

What if some of the skills that help you win in corporate were learned long before you entered an office?

Hlengiwe Tshirunga grew up in Alexandra township and went on to enter investment banking, invest in property and learn how to negotiate with financial institutions. But some of the skills she credits for navigating those rooms came from a very different classroom: the township.

In this episode of Mindset Profits, we unpack the street smarts that can translate into confidence, negotiation, adaptability and resourcefulness, while also exploring the habits that eventually need to be unlearned.

In this episode of Mindset Profits, Dr. Alka Chadha explores the growing problem of disconnection and why human connection may be one of the most underestimated parts of our well-being.

From her experiences as a medical doctor listening to patients, Dr. Chadha explains why sometimes people don't need another answer. They need to feel heard.

We explore the relationship between stress, cortisol, oxytocin, loneliness, vulnerability, and human connection and why learning to listen may become one of the most important skills in a disconnected world.

What if the way you’re coping is actually keeping you stuck?

In this conversation with a psychologist @NevernSubermoney we unpack what happens when stress becomes normal, emotions get pushed aside, and staying busy becomes a way of avoiding what we really feel.

We explore emotional numbing, overworking, chronic stress, motivation, self-worth, vulnerability, and why some people struggle to simply switch off.

One of the biggest ideas from this conversation is uncomfortable: sometimes the solution we use to escape a negative emotional state becomes the very thing keeping it alive.
