  • Continuous Growth: Cultivating a Lifelong Learning Mindset

    Continuous Growth: Cultivating a Lifelong Learning Mindset
    Aug 19 2025
    Is your current mindset helping or hurting your career in a world that's changing faster than ever? What if the secret to staying relevant and fulfilled isn't more hustle — but a willingness to slow down, reflect, and grow? In this episode, Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith explore how embracing a life-long learning mindset can transform not just your career path, but your sense of purpose, direction, and well-being. Tamara Loring cannot think of a time when lifelong learning has been as important as it is today.According to the World Economic Forum's "Future of Jobs Report", by 2027, 83 million jobs are expected to be lost, while 69 million new jobs will be created thanks to things like AI, automation, and so on.44% of workers' core skills are expected to change in the next 5 years alone. Up to 14% of the global workforce will need to shift occupation categories due to automation.Those forecasts make Tamara feel grateful for her network, as well as the lifelong learning mindset she has embraced."Learning is not just about formal education, it's about curiosity and the willingness to grow at every stage of your career," says Tamara.Dr. Mike Smith emphasizes that it is the continuous learning mindset that allows you to be a continuous life learner.Change is inevitable. The question is: are you going to change before you need to or wait until you have to?Tamara and Dr. Mike talk about how coaching and learning go hand-in-hand.Nowadays, there's a wealth of information and knowledge sources out there — it's the lack of action that paralyzes some people or makes them feel unfulfilled.We all have fears… but what if FEAR is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real?For Tamara, one of the key benefits of coaching is that it can challenge your fixed mindset.Remember: just because you think or believe something, it doesn't necessarily make it true…Dr. Mike touches upon how the daily grind often leads not only to you having a fixed mindset but also to you losing sight of your why.A coach can help create the space for you to slow down and really go back to your why, as well as help you discover a whole new level of awareness you weren't aware of.Tamara talks about the importance of understanding your passion vs. your purpose.Dr. Mike brings up research that confirms the correlation between longevity and having a lifelong learning mindset.Never forget: your mental well-being affects everything else: your sleep, the way you feel, etc.Tamara invites you to embrace feeling uncomfortable and to focus on being a "human being" instead of just being a "human doing".Tamara shares a practical "next step" to focus on and carry out after you're finished with this episode.This may come as a surprise to you, but citing the late Zig Ziglar, Dr. Mike points out that it's the start that stops most people.Wondering about embracing a life-long learning mentality? "Remember that you never start from scratch, but you start from experience," stresses Dr. Mike.

    Guided by Experience: The Transformative Power of Career Ownership Coaching
    Aug 5 2025

    Feeling stuck in your career or unsure of your next move? What if coaching could help you uncover what's holding you back — and give you the clarity to move forward with confidence?

    In this episode, Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith dive into the transformative power of coaching, sharing personal stories, mindset shifts, and actionable insights to help you break free from limiting beliefs and take ownership of your future.

    • Hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith talk about why you may want to seek the assistance of a career ownership coach.
    • Tamara Loring herself didn't realize the power of having a coach until she had a coach of her own…
    • A coach isn't there to tell you what to do but has the role of helping you gain clarity.
    • "Once you have clarity, of course, it's your own personal responsibility to take action of what you now know is going to be the best for you," says Tamara.
    • By tuning in to today's episode and visiting CareerCompassShow.com, you can get a copy of the Your Career Revolution book sent to you.
    • Dr. Mike Smith shares how he became an executive coach and the "serve pitch" approach he uses.
    • The "soul searching" aspect of a coach's job is something Tamara really gets excited by.
    • Tamara and Dr. Mike unpack the "Battered Career Syndrome" concept.
    • For Dr. Mike, one of the things that a coach is really good about doing is helping you discover things from a sort of neutral position, without emotions and unnecessary influence.
    • Tamara touches upon the Entrepreneur's Source patented process to help their clients, as well as her way of doing things as a coach and the limiting beliefs and labels we sometimes put on ourselves.
    • Coaches have a similar approach than doctors': First they diagnose, then they prescribe.
    • Inspired by a Bill Gove, Dr. Mike explains that, like professional speakers are responsible to their audience but not for them, coaches are 100% responsible to their clients but not for them.
    • Tamara points out that, even though we want freedom and control, many times we end up "outsourcing" them…

  • Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Challenging the Stories That Hold You Back

    Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Challenging the Stories That Hold You Back
    Jul 22 2025
    Is your mindset quietly holding you back from career growth and fulfillment? Or is it something worth paying attention to because it helps you reach the next level? In this episode, Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith dive deep into the subtle ways limiting beliefs, such as doubt and self-criticism, can sabotage even the most ambitious professionals. Tune in to discover practical advice, personal stories, and expert insights to help you challenge those beliefs and design your career, and your life, on your own terms. In this episode, hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith look at how limiting beliefs may silently block career growth and fulfillment.Limiting beliefs are very subtle and sneaky, and they manifest themselves as general doubt, self-doubt, fear, and worry, stopping you from dreaming.Tamara shares one thing she believes could really help: stopping and actually listening to what you're telling yourself.According to a study by Gartner, 50% (or more) of business leaders who got interviewed actually lack confidence as leaders.Tamara recommends asking yourself whether a belief is helpful or limiting. Also because "a belief is a belief, it's not a fact, it's not necessarily true."Tamara shares her experience feeling unsatisfied, dealing with "dream catchers" and being surrounded by strong leaders.Dr. Mike opens up about facing self-doubt and limiting beliefs as he got selected to be one of the Thunderbirds, as well as when he walked away from his corporate job, and all the "benefits" attached to that position.For Tamara, having an entrepreneurial spirit doesn't necessarily mean that you need to be a full-blown entrepreneur like Elon Musk or people of that caliber. Powerful words from Tamara: "pay attention to what you're thinking and remember that, just because you're thinking it, it doesn't mean it's true or even helpful!"Tamara and Dr. Mike name a couple of books that can be valuable resources when it comes to overcoming limiting beliefs.Dr. Mike touches upon a "trap" your subconscious can easily fall into, as well as the role of mantras and visualization, citing a few examples of very successful athletes.In a snippet, Allen Paige of The Entrepreneur's Source shares his experience with overcoming limiting beliefs and really finding his place and calling."Once you actually start down the road of true self-discovery, that's when you're really able to create a life by design, instead of living a life by default," says Dr. Mike.
