Mastering MindShifting: Practical Strategies to Move from Stuck to Resourceful in Business and Life
Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Mitch Weisburgh, creator of the MindShifting framework, for a deep and meaningful conversation on moving from stuck to resourceful. As the host of Your Partner In Success Radio, I have been fortunate to connect with many inspiring leaders and thinkers, but this episode struck me as especially powerful because it offers simple, practical tools to help anyone navigate complexity, tension, and change with greater ease.
Mitch’s work dives into how our brain’s survival instincts can trap us in reactive patterns, keeping us stuck in stress, overwhelm, and unproductive conflict. What resonated most with me were his accessible methods like “Perhaps I can” thinking, breathing practices, and the ‘emotional cookie jar’—small but effective ways to shift from fear and reactivity toward calm, curiosity, and creativity.
Our discussion also shed light on the often misunderstood nature of resilience and conflict. Resilience isn’t about toughing it out alone or ignoring feelings—it’s about engaging with difficulties through experimentation, openness, and learning. And conflict, when approached with kindness and clear communication, can transform from a source of division into an opportunity for alignment and growth.
Mitch’s own perspective on this conversation is beautifully reflected in his article, Podcast From Stuck to Resourceful: My MindShifting Conversation with Denise Griffitts. He writes about the value of curiosity, playfulness, and moving beyond survival thinking to a more resourceful way of being. For those interested, I highly recommend reading his full reflection here: MindShifting with Mitch blog.
This conversation was a reminder of how mindset shifts enable us to face our challenges differently, unlocking new possibilities. It inspired me personally and professionally, and I hope it encourages others to embrace resourcefulness instead of frustration when they feel stuck.
I invite my listeners and readers to reflect on their own patterns of thinking and reacting. What small “mindshifts” might open the door to greater resilience and collaboration in your life? For me, the key takeaway is that resourcefulness is a practice accessible to everyone—it starts with pausing, breathing, and choosing “perhaps I can” over “I can’t.”
I’m grateful to Mitch for sharing his insights and eager to continue exploring and applying these principles in my own journey and work. If you haven’t yet experienced the episode, I encourage you to listen and discover how these mindful shifts can empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity.
