Hi guys and welcome back to the Mindset Coach Kavie podcast. My name is Lindsey Wilson and you guys know it's Mental Monday. Now Mental Monday, if you are new here, is where we talk about one tip, tool or technique that you can implement in your life today. That is what I'm all about.
I am busy over here, y'all, like you are as well and we need quick things that we can do right away. I'd also like to say that if you like this episode or really any of our episodes, if you would forward it to a friend, let them know you're thinking about them, let them know you think this tip would be something that they could implement in their life. I know for me and my friends, it's just like that is how we take care of each other is we give a recommendation or we give a tip or we give a tool or a book recommendation or whatever, something that can keep us moving forward in life.
It's so much easier to get curated tips. All right. So with that being said, I am going to talk today about buy-in and how you can implement this in your daily life again today. So I just got off with recording a podcast with Betsy Butterick, who is not only a friend, but also a communication expert. And she talked a lot about co-creation.
And in this regard, we were talking about how coaches can co-create their culture's program and their culture's principles and their culture's decisions with their players and how important that is for buy-in. And I was thinking about how I do this in my daily life and wanted to talk about it on a podcast because I think it's something, again, just that you can do today. And I was thinking about sometimes with my kids, as a parent, I have four kids under nine. So as a parent, it is so much about do this. Or it is when I get busy, I should say, it's do this.
We got to go here, you get your stuff. But I'm like constantly basically giving them directions. Right. And in my better moments, I do give them more autonomy. I give them more choices.
I give them more ability to have ownership and agency over decisions, even if they're small ones, even if they're still guardrails. And I'm doing this podcast for you to remind you to find that buy-in with yourself, sorry, with your family and your workplace on your team, wherever you can get it in. But like most of this stuff, I'm doing it because I need the reminder. And isn't that the case with so much of this stuff?
Like we know we should be asking our kids to choose between broccoli and carrots, or if they want to eat their broccoli now or later. But I forget all the time. I forget. And so again, this is just a little reminder, a simple little reminder, a little challenge for you today with your kids, with your spouse, with your coworkers, with your team, with any group that you are around, especially if you are in a leadership position. I know for myself, I can get bossy. I can just tell people things. Again, a lot of times it's when I'm rushed.
I'm not thinking about them. I'm thinking about the end goal. But the end goal is much more likely to happen when there's buy-in.
Isn't that like the catch 22 of all this? OK, so anyway, I'm going to start doing this more with my kids. I do it, but then I forget.
So I am pledging to do it and I hope you'll join me. All right, guys, that's it for Mental Monday. If you like this episode, again, please share it with someone else and also on Spotify, iTunes, wherever you can, if you can go in and give us five stars.
If you can leave a review. Oh, my goodness, giving you a big virtual hug. I appreciate all of you so, so much as podcasts would not exist without you. Thank you.
