From Turmoil to Transformation: A MindScan Profile

Drake Lewis's MindScan journey began at 19, at a time marked by upheaval and a deep sense of being lost. A decade later, a reconnection with the MindScan™ Assessment and the guidance of ProAdvisorCoach Josh Greco helped Drake find the clarity he needed to navigate his path and bring a greater focus to his life. MINDSCAN PROFILE INTERVIEW: DRAKE LEWIS Tell us a bit about where you were in your life when you first took the ProAdvisor MindScan™ Assessment. Just a little backstory… My parents split when I was 10, and things got pretty rough after that. My dad came back into the picture about five months later, but I really only saw hime every other weekend.  I was being bullied in school, and generally just unhappy with life. When I was 15, I moved in with my dad and stepmom, who had just moved back to Charleston. That first semester of 10th grade was super awesome. It was completely different from anything I had experienced in life until then—I made friends, I wasn't bullied. It w...

Feeling Stuck? Maybe It's Time for a "Reset"

Have you ever failed to do an update on your phone or computer, just to realize why the update was recommended? Glitches. Processing speeds. New features. We've all been in a spot with technology where the next best option is a reboot. Turn it off. Turn it back on. Hope for the best. And if the updates and reboots don't work, back to the factory settings we go.  Maybe that's one of the best approaches for when we feel stuck—a factory reset. Back to "just us," without all the extras. Back to our sweet spots, the things that make us us, taking action that's in alignment with our natural giftedness may be the easiest path to getting unstuck.  The key to getting "unstuck" is related to your Dominant Dimension  Each of us are one of the following: a relator, a doer or a thinker. We either lead with relationships, action-taking, or systematic thinking. If we know where we are most dominant, we can more quickly get unstuck by leaning further into that area....

Know Thyself... with Math to Measure Thinking!

Photograph by Bradley Weber You have probably heard the quote by Socrates, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  Perhaps what Socrates meant is... unless we examine our lives, we are doomed to live in our own patterns.  And what kind of life is it to live unaware? It could be argued that our greatest gift is our free will—our power to choose.  How much are we exercising this gift if we are not even aware of our choices? We call this "awareness"—our ability to recognize what is actually happening, to be present, and to exercise our free will. Based on the frequent estimation from research and popular articles, we know that the average human has over 60,000 thoughts every single day .  Think about that!  And how many of those do you think we are conscious of?  Spoiler alert... science projects as few as 10%! That means up to 90% of our thoughts each day happen without us even being aware of them! So it begs the question, "What can we do about this?" ...

From Blindness to Brilliance: A MindScan Profile

Jeff Pena was adrift. April 2023 found him lost, weighed down by depression and uncertainty. He felt veiled, protected from something he couldn't grasp, disconnected from the lifeblood of genuine connection. With the power of the MindScan™ Assessment and the guidance of ProAdvisorCoach Jon Zieve, Jeff went through a powerful, rapid, transformative experience that would reveal his greatest obstacles and unlock his hidden potential. MINDSCAN PROFILE INTERVIEW: JEFF PENA How did you come to coaching? I met with a friend of mine from high school that I would see once every few years. I met him at a bar, we sat down, and I could see something was different about my friend. He was a lot gentler, more balanced, and I felt like I could talk to him for hours. I didn’t want to leave from sitting at the bar with him. The more he kept speaking, he just seemed so genuine—almost angelic in a way. He mentioned that he’d been talking to a success coach. When I heard the words “success coach,” not ...
