3 Value Bombs

1) True leadership requires not just thinking, but thoughtful thinking—with intention and care for the audience.

2) Time for reflection is essential; schedule non-negotiable “thinking time” to elevate the quality of your decisions and output.

3) You can learn to care more—by pausing, reflecting, and acting with greater intention.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Be a More Thoughtful Leader

[01:05] – What’s one belief about success you hold that most people disagree with?

Don’t set rigid goals—leave space for the unexpected and magical.
Be open to changing course if something better arises.

[02:20] – What does the word “thoughtful” mean to you?

Two meanings: being considerate and putting quality thought into things.
Many leaders think a lot but don’t prioritize quality thinking.
Thoughtful leadership means caring about your audience—not just sharing your own ideas.

[04:18] – What’s the difference between a thought leader and a thoughtful leader?

Thought leader = overused term, often ego-driven.
Thoughtful leader = someone who adds real value with intention.
Mindy’s mission is to raise the standard of messaging in the leadership world.

[06:30] – Why should busy leaders care about being thoughtful?

We’re constantly being observed in our digital world.
Employees, clients, and partners make values-based decisions.
Thoughtfulness earns respect, trust, and long-term relationships.

[11:35] – Mindy’s top tips for becoming more thoughtful.

Schedule sacred time for thinking—it’s not optional.
Lead with intention—know why you’re saying or doing something.
Lighten up—smile more and don’t take yourself too seriously.

[14:21] – What is the Giving 1% Project?

Mindy realized her giving didn’t match her growing income.
Created Giving 1 Percent Charity to encourage regular, values-driven donations.
The site includes a calculator and resources to help people commit to monthly giving.
Monthly giving helps charities plan and make a bigger impact.

[17:13] – Can people actually learn to care?

Yes—caring is a skill.
It starts with reflection and willingness to prioritize others.
“I teach people who care enough to learn to care.”

[19:01] – What’s the one key takeaway you want listeners to leave with?

Ask yourself: “Do I care enough to care?”
Thoughtfulness changes everything—your relationships, your business, and your life.
