S1E1 - Your Belief Window

What you can’t see, you can’t be. That’s why we all need a clear vision of who we are and what we can become. On ‘Open Your Eyes’, you are invited to join author and business leader McKay Christensen, PhD, to discover the steps to lasting change on your path to personal and business growth. From personal improvement to team leadership, get the insights and tools you need to open your eyes to a happier life. In today’s inaugural episode, McKay delves into your ability to change your belief window. Our reality is a reflection of our strongest beliefs, and we all have a belief window through which we shape, color, and filter what we experience each day. The tricky thing about our belief window is we place incorrect beliefs on our window like “I can’t” or “I’m not good enough,” but we can replace our belief window and when we do, we can change anything. Join the ‘Open Your Eyes’ podcast community today and take the first step toward seeing all that you can be and making that vision a reality.
