The depth and range of Kass Thomasâ career experiences inspires people to explore more choices and find the changes they are looking for. A best-selling author and successful entrepreneur, Kass guides others to transform the negative into positive, even in limiting situations. She is a catalyst for unity and believes there is so much more that unites us than separates us.
She wrote her book, â7 Steps to Flawless Communicationâ, which has been translated into 20 languages, to help people uncover a true connection with themselves as well as other people and things around them.
In the podcast we use sport as a simple analogy for growing businesses, such as how the affects of missing a training session can be compared to neglecting an important area of your business. Simplifying things and taking a step back is key.
Among the many colourful twists and turns of her career, she opened a film production company in Italy. Kass felt the constant pressure to keep going, even though she didnât find it enjoyable, relaxing or fun after the initial opening. It was only once she disconnected and realised this that she had the clarity and confidence to make the decision to close the business. The moment she did that her career expanded. Several opportunities came into her life, which including becoming an international sales manager! Should she have carried on running a business she didnât love, these opportunities wouldnât have presented themselves.
âA âflagâ doesnât mean thereâs a risk that is going to cause failure. It might be an alarm⊠saying, âdo you want to approach your career in a different way?â
We discuss that everyone else is taken, so rather than competing, instead discover and embrace the true you. We often create our own barriers and hurdles which arenât really there. These barriers mean when things find us they canât reach us. Will resistance create more in your life? Instead, step up, be true and be the best version of you today, and tomorrow an even better version of you.
We contemplate the value of being still and giving your mind a moment of silence. Kass says âPeople feel if theyâre not continually doing, doing, doing that they might get bored.â It might instead be that youâre not actually taking another step because youâre fine right where you are. You should disconnect from who you are not.
Language is a funny thing. When we have barriers up sometimes we receive words in a negative way. We discuss language and Kass points out that after the Second World War, dictionaries were rewritten to be more positive. All words have an energy to them and being open to receiving words in a positive way
rather than a negative one is imperative in moving forwards. Nuances are so important.
One of the biggest things I took from this podcast is that it is ok, and positive even, to fail. Your failures can make you wise! We should âknow what when something shows up as a failure, itâs probably an invitation for you to begin engaging with the riches of your life.â
