When confronted with intense pressure in business or in life, how do you not only stay engaged, but come out stronger than before?

It comes down to your mindset.

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Friedland interviews Dr. Dan Diamond, keynote speaker, coach and author of the book, Beyond Resilience.

Dan helps leaders in business and healthcare thrive while under intense stress so they can perform under pressure to make a positive impact on others. 

For 30 years, in addition to his family medical practice, Dan has been a first responder to some of the most catastrophic global disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti.

Listen in as Dr. Dan shares with Dr. Danny powerful stories from his experience as the Director of the Mass Casualty Triage Unit at the New Orleans Convention Center during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina about how your mindset determines your ability to thrive while under intense stress.

Dan reveals four mindsets in his Thriver Mindset Matrix which determine whether you are a Powerless Taker (Victim), Powerful Taker (Controller), Powerless Taker (Bystander) or Powerful Giver (Thriver).

He further shares how his simple quadrant can be used as a tool to help you become aware of your unconscious default tendencies and proactively shift to become a powerful giver and inspire that shift in others too.

How do you design creative solutions for complex problems in business and in life? 

In this episode, Daniel Friedland interviews John K. Coyle, keynote speaker and author of "Design for Strengths: Applying Design Thinking to Individual and Team Strengths."

John is an expert in design thinking where he helps businesses that are faced with seemingly insurmountable problems apply a creative mindset to solve their most pressing, seemingly insurmountable, problems.

John believes that to experience success, you must fail for the right reasons. It's not just about working harder - it's about working smarter in a way that leverages your & your team's strengths. 

Listen in as John shares with Dr. Danny his amazing story about how he solved a problem that got him kicked off the 1994 U.S. Mens Olympic Short Track Speed Skating team, only to earn his place back on the team by skating at a world record-breaking pace, which earned him a silver medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics.
