Duff McDuffee joins me today to discuss his paradigm-shifting experiences and how understanding neurodivergence has reshaped his approach to hypnosis and change work. Duff explores how the pandemic prompted a reevaluation of his clientele's needs and his discovery of his own neurodivergence. He emphasizes the significance of recognizing diversity in brain function and its impact on motivation and change. Duff shares insights on how shifting from punishment-based motivation to progress-oriented paradigms can lead to more fulfilling outcomes.

Duff is the founder of Boulder Hypnosis Works and has extensive expertise in hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. By understanding diverse brain functions, he helps clients overcome procrastination, focus issues, and perfectionism. He is an advocate for viewing neurodivergence not as a disorder but as a spectrum of unique strengths and abilities.

"Motivating ourselves and others with love and joy can dramatically change our outcomes."

In this episode, I discuss when to hit the reset button in your life or business. As we navigate a constantly changing world, it's essential to recognize the signs that indicate it might be time for a shift. I share a six-point framework to help you determine when to change and take a new direction.

I've developed a unique approach to hypnosis training, focusing on the "why" behind the methods. These programs, including the newly reimagined "Systems for Persuasive Hypnosis," attract beginners and experienced practitioners looking to refine their skills and achieve more consistent results.

"Sometimes people need to get used to the fact that you're allowed to tell them no." - Jason Linett

Today on Work Smart Hypnosis:

· Recognize when procrastination is a sign that something needs to change.

· Be aware of when comparison to others is a reflection of a shift in your values and priorities.

· Ensure that your goals are your own, not just what you "should" do.

· Stand up for your beliefs and principles, even if it means going against the crowd.

· Sometimes, saying "no" to someone is the best thing you can do for them.

· Strive to become so good at what you do that people can't ignore you.

· Don't compare your journey to others; everyone is on their unique path.

· Be flexible and adaptable as you navigate changes in your life and business.
