I'm a ConvoActive coach because I'm:
Compassionate and Empathic:
I genuinely care about people and my clients. I listen with an open mind and heart. I eager to understand a person's struggles and offer support without judgment. I am compassionate and compassion creates a safe space for growth.
Everything I do, I do with love in my heart and genuine desire to help others to be their best self. I am kind, caring, witty, humorous, patient and understanding. I am lifted up when I lift others up and this is my inspiration to inspire others and make their day and hopefully their life better.
Active Listener:
My work has me spending much of my time listening. My natural curiosity means active listening, being fully present, understanding both verbal and nonverbal cues, and asking insightful questions comes natural/automatic to me. It’s like I'm tuning in to a client’s radio station and gleaning all the information I can to best understand who I'm talking with and how best to serve their needs.
Problem-Solver Detective And Navigators:
I realize and I tell my clients that I don't have all the answers, but like a detective I excel at problem-solving.
I help my clients explore options, brainstorm solutions, and navigate obstacles. Think of myself as navigator guiding a ship through stormy seas.
Effective Communication:
Over the course of my 6 decades of living I have had the pleasure of communicating and connecting with thousands of people of all ages and all walks of life, (several different ethnicities, financially well off and the houseless, etc.), I'm able to quickly relate with and form a connection with nearly everyone I've met. I believe that this is because I have a strong natural desire to know what their life is like and who they are.
Good communication is the key that opens doors to worlds where others life, so to speak and I possess a natural inquisitive gift of being able to quickly adapt to another's communication style and connect and connect well with diverse client-pool.
One of most useful communication skills is being able to quickly analyze and turn even the most complex concepts into easily relatable analogies that make almost anything easy for my clients to understand.
Trustworthy and Have Integrity:
Clients share personal stories and vulnerabilities with me and trust is paramount. As in any profession be it driving a bus or being a heart surgeon when people place their trust in your hands you are bound by duty to do whatever it takes to do right by those who have placed their trust in you. Ensuring that private conversations remain private is my highest priority.
Often my clients request recordings our ConvoActive conversations and of course, the release of that recording means that I have no longer have control over the conversation and it is for this reason that I always speak in generalities and I never specially name identify people or places.
Lastly, I will never ask a client any questions that have to do with finances, or any specifics likes names addresses, etc. For all concerned there is never any reason to have any specifics.
Curious and enjoy Learning:
Like a detective I'm extremely curious so I ask a lot of, “Why?” and “What if?” questions. I love to explore new ideas, stay updated on research, and continuously improve my skills. I also learn a great deal from my clients. Ex: If you could be someone, somewhere, do something else?
Flexible and Adaptable:
With all the different ConvoActive services and clients my work is anything but one-size-fits-all and that suits me to a tee. I enjoy adapting to each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.
Positive Mindset and Resilience:
My work with ConvoAction helps me to be my best as I am able to inspire hope, focus on strengths, celebrate progress, and help clients reframe and tackle challenges.
I am continually imparting to many of my clients the tool, tips and wisdoms that help keep me at my best and in so doing I'm continually refreshing my mind and reenforcing my mind-set.
This continuous reinforcement enables me to remain resilient and consistently give my clients the highest quality of support.
Much of ConvoActive talk conversations are about helping people to get into a "growth mindset" so that they can routinely and effortlessly achieve their ideal potential.
Mindset refers to a set of beliefs, attitudes, and mental frameworks that shape how you perceive and interpret the world around you. It influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in various situations. Essentially, your mindset acts as a cognitive filter, coloring your experiences and determining your responses.
Here are some key points about mindsets:
Fixed Mindset:
In a fixed mindset, individuals believe that their abilities, talents, and intelligence are fixed traits. They see themselves as having a predetermined level of competence, and they often avoid challenges or risks.
People with a fixed mindset may think, “I’m either good at something or not,” and they tend to avoid effort because they fear failure.
This mindset can limit personal growth and resilience.
Growth Mindset:
A growth mindset, on the other hand, is characterized by the belief that abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence.
People with a growth mindset see challenges as opportunities for growth. They embrace effort, learn from setbacks, and believe that their talents can be cultivated over time.
This mindset fosters resilience, adaptability, and a love for learning.
Origins of Mindset:
Mindsets often form early in life, influenced by childhood experiences, education, and the feedback we receive.
Praise and labeling play a significant role. Personal praise (e.g., “You’re so smart!”) tends to promote a fixed mindset, while process praise (e.g., “You worked hard on this!”) encourages a growth mindset.
Impact of Mindset:
Your mindset affects various aspects of your life, including:
Achievement: Whether you believe you can improve and achieve your goals.
Resilience: How you bounce back from setbacks.
Learning: Your openness to new information and challenges.
Relationships: How you approach interactions with others.
Cultivating a Growth Mindset:
To develop a growth mindset:
Embrace challenges and view them as opportunities.
Learn from failures and setbacks.
Put effort into learning and improving.
Seek out feedback and constructive criticism.
Believe that your abilities can evolve over time.
Remember, your mindset isn’t fixed—it can evolve! So, whether you’re nurturing a garden or exploring the cosmos, choose a mindset that allows you to bloom and reach for the stars. 🌱✨
ConvoActive talk conversations are meant to help people organize their thoughts and declutter their thinking much like defragging a computer's hard drive.
In conversation coach Kevin helps people to bring relevant thoughts/idea to forefront were they can more easily focus on them. This then causes insignificant "mind clutter" to "fall away". The result is greater clarity of thought. Improved thought clarity leads to a greater sense of well-being as well greater ease of "thought construction". The idea is to help people to help their minds be more efficient and to start better serving their specific needs.
It may sound a bit complex but it really very simple as it's essentially the same as talking with anyone with the exception being that Kevin is actively listening and offering up a thought here and there for consideration...all the while allowing for one's own thoughts to surface.
For most ConvoAction talk services coach Kevin recommends that people do a 5-minute mental prep prior to their conversation to get in calm/relaxed state of mind. Additionally, he suggests that everyone review all of the ConvoAction 'Best Life Guide'. This "guide" is full of "wisdoms" and "actionables" that can be very beneficial to anyone especially anyone wanting to get the most out of most ConvoAction talk services.
Coach Kevin is kind, patient, understanding, witty and he a great sense of humor. He is humble and has an amazing way of putting people at ease and having them feel good about themselves. People enjoy talking with him and find their conversations with him satisfying and productive.
Best Life Guide
Attach Meaning - Your life is more fulfilled when you make a conscious effort to attach meaning to all your experiences.
Lower Expectations - One of the keys to staying happy is to have very low expectations when it comes to daily experiences. If your expectations are set properly low you'll usually be pleasantly surprised rather than frustrated and disappointed. This does not mean to lower expectations on yourself.
Prevent Loneliness - As the saying goes "Loneliness is not from being alone but from being with others who make you feel like a stranger". Avoid being around others who aren't welcoming. Seek the company of those with similar interests but don't be with someone just to be with someone...when it comes to feeling lonely sometimes you are better off alone.
Walk & Play Everyday - You don't need to do a lot but you should walk & play every day to keep blues and the doctor away.
Youring - Be aware that wherever you are it is yours while you are there and whatever you use is yours while you are using it. This is a great way of being more present and in most cases having a better experience.
Ride The Wave - When you find yourself in a high-pressure situation you can avoid or limit anxiety by seeing the situation as a wave and seeing yourself riding it. Don't overthink it...just jump in 100% and ride that wave. That wave is meant for you to ride like a customized chariot. With any situation you can either ride the wave or be awash in it...tumbling, disoriented, and out of control or you can ride it come what may. So ride it!
Practice Minimalism & Choose Experience Over Things - We are constantly told that more is better but often less is way more manageable and freeing. Be aware that excess is often a burden.
Lift Up - Nothing lifts a person up more than lifting up others.
Compare & Contrast - It may be that the key to critical thinking is to simply compare and contrast every choice that life presents you. For example, would you prefer no regulations and unsafe food, water, jobs or regulations and safe water, food, and jobs? This helps you see the message rather than the messenger as well as helping you to more clearly evaluate all manner of options.
You might think this is something you're already doing but now that it's been pointed out I think you'll see that it helps you more quickly make decisions.
Be In Touch With Your Inner Child - **Create a Dialogue: Imagine sitting down with your inner child for a heart-to-heart chat. Ask questions: “What did you love? What scared you? What made you laugh until your belly hurt?” Listen carefully to its fears, needs, and pains. Sometimes, comforting your inner child means offering the love and care it might have lacked back then.
Visualize: Close your eyes and journey back to your childhood. Picture your favorite hideout—the treehouse, the blanket fort, or that cozy corner where you read books. Feel the grass under your bare feet, smell the crayons, taste the imaginary cookies. Visualization can bridge the gap between now and then.
Play: Remember when playtime was serious business? Reclaim it! Build sandcastles, blow bubbles, dance like nobody’s watching (because they probably aren’t). Playfulness isn’t just for kids; it’s soul medicine for grown-ups too.
Embrace Curiosity: Curiosity is the compass of the inner child. Ask questions, explore, and marvel at the world. Why does the sky turn pink at sunset? How do ladybugs fold their tiny wings? Curiosity keeps us alive and connected.
Find Joy in Simple Pleasures: Ice cream cones, swings, skipping stones—these are the currency of the inner child. Slow down and savor life’s little delights. Maybe even chase a rainbow (metaphorically or literally).
Be Kind to Yourself: Your inner child carries memories—both sweet and painful. Treat it gently. Forgive past mistakes, hug your inner child when it feels scared, and remind it that it’s safe now.
Create Art or Write: Remember how you scribbled with crayons or wrote fantastical stories? Tap into that creativity. Draw, paint, write poems, or compose silly songs. Art connects us to our inner magic.
Remember, your inner child isn’t lost—it’s just waiting for an invitation to play. So, go ahead: Jump in puddles, blow dandelion fluff, and let your heart skip a beat. 🎈🌟
Will Power/Disire Control Directing- Your will is your desire. Will power is "desire control". Repeat those two sentences. Since your willpower is your "desire control" or control over your desire the key to changing your habits is in telling your pre-programmed mind that you want it to strongly desire one thing over another or to start to strongly desiring something more or less.
Directing your subconscious is all there is to it. And the best way to do this is by using "imagination power". Close your eyes and envision your mind has no limits when it comes to "desire control" and then tell your mind, for example, you love and want carrots, (visualize carrots while thinking delicious mouth-watering carrots), and you hate cake, (visualize cake while thinking awful, unreal, sickening taste). Calmly and clearly repeat this mental input exercise before going to sleep. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined scenarios, so use this superpower to boost your willpower/desire control! 🌟🧠-
Blame - Are you really to blame for your problems? Well, it's possible that the only reason you're having the problems you are is because you're unable to properly manage the wrongs that others have done to you. Despite what some so assuredly say, "You have no one to blame but yourself", it's likely you do have someone...even many "someones" to blame for not doing as well as you should be.
Stay Fit In Place - Don't let not having a gym or rain stop you from exercising when all you need is a chair, a couple of hand dumbbells, and a 6 by 6-foot area. Google 'Chair Exercise'.
Better To Forget - We've all heard the old saying, "Better forgive and forget". That's good advice BUT ONLY IF the person(s) that "wronged" you sincerely and without being prompted to ask for your forgiveness. Otherwise, it's much better to forget them. Additionally forgiving someone who isn't seeking your forgiveness is like continuing to have a conversation with someone who has hung up on you...best to forget about forgiving them and then forget about them. Stop giving people that disrespect you a place in your life.
Express Healing - Express yourself let it out. Write It, Tell It, Yell It.
You vs Them - Just because you're outnumbered in your thoughts or opinions doesn't mean you're wrong. It's important to hear what others have to say but just remember the "majority opinion" has often been proven to be nothing more than unimaginative, short-sighted or both.
Life Lessons Snap Shots - Make note of things that made you stop or start doing things differently, including with people.
Act The Part - Yes, "All the world is a stage!" and while you should always "to thine own self be true" if you want to get the most of life in this modern world you need to source your inner actor. Learn to play the part/be the "situational person" who is best suited for navigating personalities and circumstances. This is tool used to enable you to be the best you can be to achieve the best result possible. For example if your going to buy a car at a dealership you might want to channel someone who makes a lot of deals like Mark Cuban. This is just to get you into the best mindset and by no means should you use it unethically or dishonestly, nor does this mean you should be phony. Think it like wearing the proper mental attire just like wearing a suit to a funeral and sweats to the gym.
Always Have 3 Things To Look Forward To - Always have 3 things to look forward to even if it's things like a sandwich, a TV show, and taking a shower.
Goodness Is Its Own Reward - If you want to feel better do something kind for a plant(s), animal(s), or person(s) but be aware that when you do something for a person who is appreciative the effect on emotional may be negative rather than positive.
Emotional Release - Laugh, Cry, Yell, Punch, Kick, Sing, Dance
Be Your Own Best Friend - As they say "Before you can be a good friend to others you must first be a good friend to yourself". Be someone you respect and love to be with.
Contentment Is Bliss - Find a hobby, play games but do what you must to have peace of mind.
Never Count On Others For Your Happiness
Family Is Not Always Friend - Just Because They're Family Doesn't Mean They Are Your Friends - They've really wronged you, likely many times, (and I'm talking disagreements or not showing up at kids' birthday party), and when you finally say done with them, some family member will say "But they're family!". Just because someone is family doesn't mean they should be allowed to keep doing you wrong. It may be awkward but stand your ground and cut ties. Shame on them and good on you for protecting yourself.
Get Plenty of Sleep - Sleep is your brain's best friend and since you are your best friend you make sure it gets plenty of it so that it can optimally serve you.
Senses Room - Use Aroma, Music & Light Therapy - If you can find a place where you can enjoy a nice aromatic-filled room along with some pleasant music and lighting. My "Senses Room" has a thick beach sand floor and some artificial palms and it let me feel like I'm on tropical vacation anytime I like.
Assess The Value of How You Spend Your Time - COVID changed several things at least for a while and one the positive things to come from it was many people re-evaluating what really matters and it seems that for many making money took a slide in its priority ranking while taking time to smell the roses increased. Money is necessary in this capitalist construct but we should keep our perspective and remind ourselves that we only live once.
Find Someone or Something To Care For - We need to be needed. Be it a plant, pet, or person we nurture our souls when we nurture.
Be True To Your Sexuality - Wherever you are on the "spectrum" your sexuality is an integral part of who you are. Embracing and being true to it allows you to live a more authentic, fulfilling life. By accepting and expressing your sexuality, you not only honor yourself but also contribute to a more inclusive and understanding world.
Be Not Ashamed or Prideful For Being That Which You Had No Control Over - No one ever had anything to do with how or where they were born. Skin color, sexual orientation, and nationality are things that none of us chose or achieved. So, it's a falsity to feel any shame or pride for something completely beyond our control and is in no way an accomplishment we can lay claim to.
Be A Good Friend But Only To A Good Friend - It's better to not have any friends if they aren't really friends. A good friend should be trustworthy, loyal, empathetic, understanding, reliable, supportive, and comforting. No one is perfect but friends...especially a good friend should always have your best interest at heart and always be there when you need them...if they don't, they are not your friend, and don't pretend they are.
What are the traits of a good friend:
Trustworthiness - Keep confidences and secrets. Be reliable and dependable.
Loyalty - Stand by your friends in good times and bad.
Be supportive and faithful.
Honesty - Tell the truth, even when it’s difficult. Be transparent and sincere.

Cognitive load refers to the amount of mental effort being used in the working memory. When it comes to creativity, managing cognitive load is crucial because it can significantly impact one’s ability to generate and develop new ideas.
Impact on Creativity
Mental Resources: High cognitive load can deplete mental resources, making it difficult to engage in creative thinking. When the brain is overloaded, it has less capacity to explore new ideas or think outside the box.
Focus and Attention: Managing cognitive load helps maintain focus and attention, which are essential for creativity. A cluttered mind can struggle to stay on task and may miss out on innovative ideas.
Problem-Solving: Lower cognitive load allows for better problem-solving as it frees up mental space to consider various solutions and approaches.
Flow State: Achieving a flow state, where one is fully immersed and focused on a task, is easier when cognitive load is managed. Flow states are highly conducive to creative work.
Strategies to Manage Cognitive Load
Simplify Tasks: Break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps to reduce intrinsic load.
Organize Information: Present information in a clear, structured manner to minimize extraneous load.
Take Breaks: Regular breaks can help refresh the mind and reduce overall cognitive load.
Use External Tools: Tools like mind maps, outlines, or even puppets can help externalize thoughts and reduce the mental burden.
Create a Conducive Environment: A quiet, organized workspace can help minimize distractions and lower extraneous load.
By effectively managing cognitive load, creatives can enhance their ability to think innovatively and produce more original work. Have you noticed any particular techniques that help you manage your cognitive load while working on creative projects?
Mind maps are a fantastic tool for externalization! They visually organize information, making it easier to see connections and relationships between ideas. Here are some benefits of using mind maps for creativity:
1. Clarity and Focus
Mind maps help in breaking down complex ideas into simpler, more manageable parts. This clarity can enhance focus and make the creative process less daunting.
2. Visual Representation
Seeing your ideas laid out visually can spark new connections and insights that might not emerge through linear thinking. The visual nature of mind maps can stimulate both the left and right hemispheres of the brain, fostering creativity.
3. Flexibility
Mind maps are highly flexible and can be adapted to suit any project or idea. You can easily add, remove, or rearrange elements as your thoughts evolve.
4. Brainstorming
They are excellent for brainstorming sessions, allowing you to quickly jot down ideas and see how they relate to each other. This can lead to more comprehensive and innovative solutions.
5. Memory and Recall
The visual and structured format of mind maps can improve memory and recall. This is particularly useful when working on complex projects with many interconnected parts.
6. Engagement
Creating a mind map can be an engaging and enjoyable process. The act of drawing and connecting ideas can make the creative process more interactive and fun.
Do you have any favorite techniques or tools you use when creating mind maps?
Here are some key points about cognitive load in the context of creativity:
Types of Cognitive Load
