#4 Self Coaching w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap up our series on self-coaching with - The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action episode to distill it all down. Following are the highlights I got from my initial talk with Ajit Nawalkha, co-founder of Mindvalley and founder of Evercoach and the Dharma Coaching Institute, and author of Live Big The Entrepreneurs Guide To Passion, Practicality & Purpose. Then in part three I talked with Dan Miller, author of 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love, and…my father, who has been a coach for 30 years. The punchline of the series is to self coach, and to know what outside coaching you may need, you must first know yourself. The best you can for now. And I end this episode with a list of powerful resources.
#3 Self Coaching w/ Dan Miller | How To Know What You're About So You Can Know Who Can Help You
We continue our series on self coaching, which I started with Ajit Nawalkha, co-founder of Mindvalley and founder of Evercoach and the Dharma Coaching Institute, and author of Live Big The Entrepreneurs Guide To Passion, Practicality & Purpose. A primary platform of Ajit’s is our need to self coach, and we unpacked this in part 1. This is part 3 where I bring another expert in the field to discuss the issue, and I have with me one of the most prolific business and personal coaches I know. Dan Miller, author of 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love. Find him at 48days.com. Dan has been coaching people, and coaching coaches for as long as I can remember. Which is a long time. As it still surprises people if they don’t put two and two together…yes, he’s my father!
#2 What Drives Ajit Nawalkha
I’m back with super coach Ajit Nawalkha in this series on self-coaching. In our first show together we dug deep into what self coaching is, and some of the major issues around personal transformation. This is part two, my What Drives You episode where I get behind the scenes with Ajit on what truly drives him in the key areas of life, which is where the real self coaching comes in.
#1 Self Coaching w/ Ajit Nawalkha | How To Equip Yourself To Rely On Yourself
We kick off a series on self coaching. Self coaching will ultimately drive you more than anything else. My expert guest is Ajit Nawalkha. Ajit founded or co-founded several companies that focus on human transformation, including Mindvalley, Evercoach, and the Dharma Coaching Institute. Ajit leads more than a million people in personal transformation via emails, videos, and podcasts. I learned of Ajit through Mindvalley where he served as CEO. And it was actually after booking him I realized he was married to Neeta Bhushan who I had on the show about a year ago with her book, That Sucked Now What. Ajit has a book called Live Big that I’ll be referencing, but our focus is dealing with the myriad of personal information out there and the necessity and opportunity to lead yourself. First you must come to trust yourself. Listen in.
#4 Avoiding Burnout w/Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I'm wrapping up our series on avoiding burnout, which happens when we are driving and out of alignment. My catalyst for the series was Dr Neha Sangwan who was juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to climb back out and her new book is Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life. I then brought on Heather Monahan. We did a series just a couple months ago on Confidence Heather is a two times best-selling author, first with her book Confidence Creator, and now with her latest book, Overcome Your Villains: Mastering Your Beliefs, Actions, and Knowledge to Conquer Any Adversity. Heather is the host of the Creating Confidence podcast and she knows burnout from many years in the high levels of corporate America. But burnout can happen for anyone, anywhere, at any time, if you are not being authentic to you, and wreck your drive. Let’s hit the highlights.
#3 Avoiding Burnout w/ Heather Monahan | The Top Saboteurs Of A Great Job Or Business
We continue our series on Avoiding Burnout and my catalyst for the series was Dr Neha Sangwan, a doctor who did just that, burnt out. Her new book is called Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life I just saw Neha on the Today show alongside Mel Robbins and saw she’s going to be on Mel’s show, she was just on Gabby Reece’s show as well as Dr Mark Hyman and she’s hit a nerve with her insight. In this episode I brought on another expert on burnout, Heather Monahan. Heather did a series with me on Confidence just a couple months ago that I urge you to check out. Heath is a two times best-selling author, first with her book Confidence Creator, and now with her latest book, Overcome Your Villains: Mastering Your Beliefs, Actions, and Knowledge to Conquer Any Adversity.

#2 What Drives Dr. Neha Sangwan
I’m back with Dr Neha Sangwan, our expert for this series on Burnout, and now we’re digging into what drives her in the 7 key areas of life. Neha is an MD, engineer, CEO, communication specialist, and author of POWERED BY ME: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life
and connect with her as intuitiveintelligenceinc.com. I’m eager to hear how Neha has crafted her life to avoid…burnout.
#1 Avoiding Burnout w/ Neha Sangwan | How To Avoid Burnout By Finding Alignment With What You Do
We are taking on the very real and present danger of…burnout. Something that happens when your drive is out of alignment. What you want and why is not resonating. My expert is Dr Neha Sangwan who comes from her own story as a doctor juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn’t. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to jumpstart her journey of renewal and catalyze her mission to heal humanity. And that is what happens. We keep going and keep doing…until we can’t. That is the risk. If you are on the path to burnout, there will be an end. So we’re here to help you avoid this. Neha’s new book is titled, Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life and connect with her as intuitiveintelligenceinc.com
#4 Human Design w/ Kevin Miller | The Big Idea, The Big Takeaway & The Big Action
I wrap up our series on Human Design with my Big Idea, Big Takeaway & Big Action. Human design is another take on personality profiles. Think of Myers Briggs, DISC, or the Enneagram. The purpose of these is to understand your natural propensities and predispositions, so you can better understand and leverage yourself and others. I’ll speak more to the benefit in a moment. The difference with Human Design is all the others are self reporting, while Human Design is based on your birth date, time and location.
