    How do you lead outside the lines? Find out from Tina Parker, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and the brilliant mind behind Lead Outside the Lines. Tina shares her incredible journey from her 23-year military career to becoming a transformational leadership expert and a dual elite certified neuroencoding specialist. We delve into her deep-rooted passion for helping women veterans thrive in male-dominated environments and her impactful work with Dr. Daniel Amen’s brain health community. Tina also opens up about how her daughter's emotional health struggles led her to embrace the science of neuroencoding, making this episode a heartwarming blend of personal and professional triumph.

    Why do men and women approach challenges so differently? We explore this fascinating dynamic through the lens of neuroencoding. Research reveals that women often feel they need to be 85% certain before taking on new opportunities, while men need only 15% certainty. Personal anecdotes, like contrasting approaches to a home renovation, illustrate these confidence discrepancies. We discuss the fixed mindset and how women tend to internalize setbacks as personal failings, unlike men who often see them as new opportunities. This chapter advocates for curiosity over self-criticism to shift perspectives and break free from limiting beliefs.

    How do feelings of inadequacy and isolation affect women and veterans? We tackle the scarcity mindset, emphasizing the critical role of authenticity in transitioning from military to civilian life. Tina shares how feelings of inadequacy and isolation can spiral into a sense of lack and diminished self-trust. She also explains how noble intentions to save resources for others can create real shortages. The key takeaway is the importance of shifting to an upward spiral through community support and self-awareness. We conclude with techniques from neuroencoding that help veterans appreciate their unique gifts, embrace their self-worth, and confidently navigate their post-military lives. This episode is a powerful conversation on leadership, self-sovereignty, and the transformative journey of women veterans.
