26: The Power of Suggestion - How it influences our thoughts, beliefs and actions

On this episode of The CC: America Podcast, Host Tomeria Jordan talks about "the power of suggestion" and how our thoughts as well as the opinions of others impact how we make decisions, what we believe, how we see ourselves and what we do. She shares her journey in Training & Development (T&D) including being turned down 10 times for a job in T&D before charting a new path for herself which opened doors and provided her with a new perspective. She has now been in T&D for over 10 years and has obtained her Masters in Instructional Systems Development. Over the last 10 years she has facilitated over 500 in person/remote training sessions for officers, senior leadership, mid-level management, front-line supervisors, other trainers and employees. She is an expert in her field and is continuing to impact individuals one training experience at a time. Tomeria's LinkedIn

Tomeria also talks about a recent medical scare, confronting her fears about childbirth, having a growth vs fixed mindset, understanding confirmation bias, how we can use the power of suggestion to motivate us and a few of the daily affirmations that help keep her going.

She encourages listeners to fail forward and not allow negative thoughts and opinions (suggestions) to hold them back by sharing her own personal testimonies of faith. After all, everything starts with our mindset which we can continue to shift over time. This episode is full of information and inspiration.
