Personal Development Videos
The Dahlberg, Knott & Brandt Group + Our Coaching Initiative
We offer this coaching to help our client's live life to their fullest human self and to help understand the interconnectivity of themselves and their finances. We recognize that there are many facets of your family's life beyond investments and planning that are critical to a sound and healthy lifestyle, and we prefer to begin with an understanding of your family from a personal level and understanding the "why" of your reasoning for saving. With a focus on your family as whole individuals and supporting them throughout their life cycles with complimentary access to life coaches, we feel they will have a better outcome individually with their investments and financial planning. This connection ensures that our clients live life by design, and not by default.
Below you will find resources on a range of topics from Our Coaching Initiative. Please contact Genise Brandt at gbrandt@rwbaird.com for more information on our Life Planning Services.
Managing Your Mind
What you think about determines the way you feel, the quality of your life, and the results you create for yourself. The trouble is that we have over 60,000 thoughts daily, some of which are running by default and not serving us. In this session, Head Coach Lindsay Troxell explores how to feel better by intentionally choosing what you think.
Embracing Failure
What would you do if you weren’t afraid of failure? And what I mean by that is not that you wouldn’t fail, but that failure wasn’t a problem. That it was something you expected and embraced as part of the process. In this session, we will explore how failure, your relationship to it, and learning how to embrace it is the secret to success.
Powerful Decision Making
Do you struggle with indecision or worry about making the wrong choices? Head Coach Lindsay Troxell explores ways to help you gain the clarity needed to break free from indecisiveness, enhance your analytical skills, improve your evaluation abilities, and cultivate the confidence to take decisive action in any situation.
Burnout
In this video on burnout, coach Lindsay talks about its causes, symptoms, recovery tips, and first-hand insights from someone who's been there. Explore the gap between work expectations and personal values, and receive practical advice on intentional breaks, talking to leaders, seeking support, and embracing the non-linear path to healing.
Personal Development Plans
It's that time again - goal setting for the new year! But how often do you set a goal only to give up by March when you don't see immediate results? I get it - we want quick wins and evidence that what we're doing is working. But real transformation takes time and consistency. So, I challenged myself (and my partner Cory Smith) to commit to our 2024 goals for a FULL year without needing to see results right away. Check out this short 2-minute video where I share this concept. The key is giving yourself a full year to work consistently instead of trying to cram progress into a few months. Imagine what you could achieve with that mindset! What goal will you commit to for all of 2024?
Nervous System Regulation
As a follow-up to our episode on Burnout, Head Coach Lindsay Troxell and special guest Dr. Lindsay Williamson break down the science behind how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work and how they affect both our physical and mental health. Dr. Lindsay provides simple yet powerful techniques you can start applying right away to counterbalance daily stress, ranging from becoming the observer of our experiences to returning our attention to our breath throughout the day.
Difficult Conversations
Have you ever wished you were better at addressing uncomfortable topics with your co-workers, friends, or loved ones? Join Coach Michael Futterman as he guides you through identifying the nuances of difficult conversations and what it takes to create more favorable outcomes.
End-of-Life Planning
Thinking about end-of-life planning for some can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. However, planning today gives us our best chance of living out our end-of-life the way we desire. In this 10 minute “quick hit” video, Coach Lindsay shares some helpful areas to consider when designing an intentional end-of-life plan.
Longevity
There's no one-size-fits-all solution to health and wellness. If you were to ask 10 different people what you should do to age gracefully, you'd likely get 10 different answers. In this session, Head Coach Lindsay Troxell and Coach Michael Futterman take a look at the 5 areas almost everyone can agree you shouldn't ignore.
Habits
Habits make up a large part of who we are. But what about those habits that aren’t contributing to the lives we desire? How do we break our “bad habits” and replace them with habits that will get us where we want to go? And how long does it really take? Whatever habits you desire to build or break - we’ve got you covered.
Instinct and Energy
Coach Lindsay sat down with Erin Werde, Founder of The Instinctive Advantage to talk about the importance of letting humans operate in alignment with their natural instincts in order to boost productivity, creativity, and happiness. Key takeaways from their discussion: When people work against their instincts, it leads to frustration, lack of energy, and feelings of being drained. Understanding how you best take action is critical.
Intentional Discomfort
What’s the best way to build resilience and grit? Do hard things intentionally. In our latest quick-hit video, Coach Michael teaches us the value of intentional discomfort, the chemical underpinnings of motivation, and three techniques that will build your capability and strength to face life’s surprising challenges.
Stress
In this month’s episode of The Coaching Collective, I am joined by Coach Tresa Leftenant for a discussion about where stress is coming from, how to notice it and some practical approaches to managing your stress more successfully. Embracing stress and what it has to teach you is a multi-dimensional journey that is as individual as you are.
Leadership/Employee Development
If you manage people, you don't want to miss the latest video from Coach Michael Futterman. In this video, Michael delves into the essential role of managers in fostering employee growth and how it can transform your team dynamics. We're talking about more than just training; it's about shaping attitudes and enhancing soft skills for a holistic development approach. Michael has broken down a simple yet powerful four-step framework to help you identify and provide what your team truly needs to excel. Whether you're a seasoned manager or just starting, this video is packed with insights and practical tips you can immediately implement.
