Transform Your Company Through Mindfulness w/ Brenda Jacobsen

Today’s guest is Brenda Jacobsen, Brenda has spent decades as a speaker, author, finance executive, and business strategist, she has emerged as a master of optimizing personal performance. She founded companies YouEQ and Awakening Consciously to provide new world tools and strategies for people to awaken their lives and reclaim their power. YouEQ specializes in Emotional Intelligence which is the topic of focus in the first half of our interview, and Awakening Consciously is rooted in a more spiritual realm, involving chakras and meridians, in which i do my best to understand in the second half. Brenda is passionate about helping people tap into their uniqueness—on all levels of life. This became a personal quest after she fell over 3,000 feet down a mountain while skiing—resulting in 5 years of physical and emotional recovery.Brenda's Company Links: You-EQAwakening Consciously  The APPTiming:1:42 Start of Interview/ Emotional Intelligence6:28 Leadership11:15 Corrective Complex17:01 How to Deal with Corrective Complex Problems 25:21 Corporate Culture33:53 How YOU-EQ started40:34 Emotional Vocabulary/ Literacy44:59 Connection Between Emotional and Physical 46:46 Energy Body / Chakra’s47:27 Chakra’s for the Rational Thinkers51:39 Electro-magnetic Beings56:22 Why Do People Think Chakra’s Can’t be Real?1:01:56 My Take On Chakra’s1:06:08 Brenda’s Meditation Script Story (incredible)1:09:55 Brenda’s Take On My Own Meditation1:18:19 Golden Nugget of WisdomMusic:FLAWD SOULS: Spotify / Instagram / SoundCloudGolden Nugget: Everybody is familiar with the concept of being open and closed minded. But I think we get it wrong in that we assume people are either one or the other permanently. Sure, some people have a tendency to accept new ideas easier than others, but  it’s much more complicated than that. After my conversation with Brenda, I believe it’d be helpful to start looking at open and closed mindedness as a state that is constantly fluctuating and temporary. Our willingness to accept advice, or to learn something new depends on our mood, our interest level, our energy, our state. It’s almost as if our minds remain closed the majority of the time and need to be pried open. And the lever that can be used to pry it open is CHOICE.Brenda mentions that often people are closed minded towards certain subjects or ideas until they are faced with a sudden tragedy which forces them to SEARCH for answers. Only in the search for answers does their mind open up and allow entertainment of ideas that it was once closed to. Ideas that were once regarded as “too out there” or “woo-woo stuff.” The search for answers was in their complete control, because they actively sought it out, it wasn’t forced on them… they let their guard down, they CHOSE it. Even during conversations with loved ones our minds tend to be closed up and sealed tight, unless gently opened by them. And you guessed it,  it can be opened up by simply giving a choice of whether or not they want to hear our advice! As soon as they accept our invitation to offer advice, they’re CHOOSING to hear it, it’s not being forced on them. I’m convinced that this can save a lot of silent- treatments worldwide.If we can all just learn that our baseline state is one of closed mindedness, but that it can be opened with offering choice, we can build relationships with less resentment, less frustration, which will only leave room for more love.

#19- Brenda Jacobsen- "Emotional Intelligence / Chakras" 

Brenda Jacobsen started in the family business right out of college and eventually rose to CEO of the company. After a "type-A driven business woman" told Brenda about the coach she was using and raved about the tremendous results she was getting, Brenda decided to contact the coach. Shortly after hiring CEO Coaching International coach Jay Reid, Brenda's company got an unsolicited offer to buy her company. The timing was perfect. Working with Jay and the team at CEO Coaching, Brenda was able to bring in another buyer to the table, play one off the other, and get a much higher sale price--all while negotiating a good payout for herself. This is the behind the scenes story of a business sale that can benefit all small to mid-size companies when it comes time to sell your company.
