286: Using NLP to Create Goals

Get ready to go for a super (and I do mean super!) wide-ranging conversation with productivity coach Vanessa Kettner. Vanessa is a fascinating woman and was so deeply transformed by two books she read (she’ll share which ones!) that she became a productivity coach, sold all of her possessions to travel the world, met and started dating a former Catholic monk, and is now quarantining in Dubuque, Iowa.

During our wide-ranging conversation, we discussed:

  • What is NLP (Neural Linguistic Programming) and how it’s inspired her life

  • What book(s) created positive ripple effects in her life

  • Why she “Marie Kondo-ed” her life and became a nomad (until COVID-19)

  • Why she now looks at productivity in a different way

  • Her experience as a runner

  • Her experience as a productivity coach coaching a runner

  • How to map your mindset

  • What mentally “mining for gold” is all about

  • Her three keys to goal setting
