32. Why Freedom Matters

EPISODE SUMMARY
Freedom is different for everyone, and it is very important that you find your own definition of it.
EPISODE NOTES
Freedom is a subjective concept, and its definition differs from one person to another. For me, freedom means having complete autonomy over all the aspects of your life--time, money, and work.
In today’s episode, we identify what freedom really means to you, and how that freedom can be achieved.
Highest level of job satisfaction is achieved when you have freedom and autonomy at your work. You perform at your best when you consider your core values when choosing the career path you will take.
Freedom can be created if you are willing to go out there and bet on yourself. Don’t wait around for somebody else to make that path for you because you CAN forge it for yourself.
If you’ve been dreading going to work, but you honestly do not know what’s wrong, then this episode is exactly what you need!
Whenever you’re ready to find that freedom and create it for yourself, then get in touch with me on www.navneetmann.com or email me at info@navneetmann.com. See you on the other side!

17. You Have the Power to Change Your Life

EPISODE SUMMARY
Overwork, over-stress, and overwhelm are a recipe for misery. If you're in a place, feeling constant stress and pressure, and can't find your way out - then you're not alone.
Many professionals find themselves suffering silently, with little to no options to make a change. The first step to a happier and healthier life is acknowledging that your current situation is not serving you - and if it's not serving you, it's likely hindering your health, relationships, and progress.
In this episode of the Speed of Life Show, you'll learn the exact steps you need to take in order to make a big change and take a leap towards your ideal life.

25. Are You Blocking Your Happiness?

EPISODE SUMMARY
"I'll be happy when..." the dreaded curse of conditional happiness.
Putting a condition on your happiness is blocking you from actually being satisfied.
Although we are creatures driven by goals and achievement, delaying gratification until a goal is achieved can be highly detrimental to your happiness and mental health as you're conditioning your brain to believe happiness can only be reached once a specific condition is met.
True happiness is rooted in the journey and not the destination. As important as it is to hit your goals and achieve higher levels, it's equally as important to identify happiness within yourself instead of seeking external gratification.
In this episode of The Speed of Life Show, I'll share my journey with always wanting more and looking for happiness externally rather than within myself. I'll share tips on who you can stop blocking yourself from happiness and becoming unconditionally happy (even when things are not perfect!).

29. Success Doesn’t Mean Security

EPISODE SUMMARY
Building a life that you love, knowing that you’re making an impact to other people’s lives, is the true success that will provide you the true security.
EPISODE NOTES
Success and security are two very different things. And if the pandemic taught us one thing, it is this - that security is nothing but an illusion.
In today’s podcast episode, we talked about how security in successful employment, is not a sure thing. Yes, you may be earning an income for your family and you may be upholding a certain caliber of lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean that your security, especially in employment, is ensured. Executives, even the high-level ones, were laid off from their jobs when companies were forced to close down because of the pandemic.
So let me share with you certain points today so that you can break down what security really is and what it means to you.
How do you feel when you get up in the morning? Did you snooze the alarm again and just drag yourself around, unmotivated, no joy? Or are you so excited to leap out of bed that you don’t need an alarm anymore, so full of joy, excited to start your day?
Are you just working for the paycheck? Or are you working for something bigger than you that just lights you up inside?
Happiness, true joy, is found outside of your comfort zone. Are you comfortable where you are but nothing really excites you? What’s stopping you from pursuing something that you know will bring you so much joy?
Can you feel that there’s an itch on you somehow? A certain knowing that you’re meant for more? That this is not all, and that you deserve more?
Key takeaway:
Success will not ensure security. Building a life that you love, knowing that you’re making an impact to other people’s lives, is the true success that will provide you the true security.

10. Identify and Avoid Unconscious Bias at Work

EPISODE NOTES
Unconscious and personal biases are often deeply rooted within us all, but what are unconscious biases and what do they mean?
Unconscious biases are beliefs that one holds that create behaviours towards a person or group of people, based on specific attributes. These biases are developed as a result of our upbringing, culture, experiences, and observations; biases often guide the way one shows up and how they behave and interact with others. Although these biases are unconscious, they can be very detrimental if they are not properly acknowledged and addressed. People may be subconsciously guided by their biases to treat someone differently based on their gender, race, sexual orientation, career, status, etc. all of which continue to widen the equality gap.
In today's episode, you will learn how to identify your own biases and the biases of people around you - you'll learn how to understand your biases and how to avoid them in the future so you can forge stronger relationships and excel in your own path.
