Mental Fitness For Leaders w/ Kevin Gazzara

  1. Mental Fitness For Leaders w/ Kevin Gazzara Nathaniel Scheer 44:57

I would love to hear from you!

We talk with leadership coach and professor Kevin Gizarra about how mental patterns shape performance, then turn that insight into simple ways to build focus and avoid Burnout. We connect positive intelligence, flow, and task balance so you can design a workday that supports engagement and creativity instead of constant strain.
• Kevin’s path from corporate leadership at Intel to Coaching and leadership development
• The difference strong systems make in big companies and what startups often miss
• Why most people want to do good work when the environment supports them
• Holding “creative tension” between competing priorities without polarising the team
• Positive intelligence as an operating system for mental fitness
• Common saboteurs that hijack leaders and the “sage” powers that counter them
• Practical ways to build awareness and quiet unhelpful mental patterns
• Flow as challenge and skill alignment and why it boosts creativity
• How leaders and individuals can create conditions for flow at work
• The three task types and why the wrong mix creates disengagement
• Cadence, feedback loops, and structuring the day for sustainable energy
If this helped you, please pass it along to someone else.

Meet Nathaniel P. Scheer, host of MindForce. Born in Chico, CA, Nate has lived a life of ups and downs, from a challenging childhood to finding purpose in the Air Force. He's passionate about helping others achieve their goals and find happiness. Through his own experiences, including struggles with abuse, loss, and personal setbacks, he has learned to appreciate the beauty in imperfection and the importance of living in the present.

He's faced tough times, like losing one grandma to suicide and another to "routine" heart surgery, and his grandpa to a sudden brain aneurysm. He's also navigated the challenges of divorce, co-parenting, and moving around the world as a member of the military, seperated from your family support system. With a heart for storytelling and a desire to help others grow, Nate creates a safe space for authentic conversations on MindForce, exploring love, life, and learning, and navigating the ups and downs of life with his guests.
