Time Billionaires: Mindset and Time Management for Work & Life17 Juni

How to Stop Overthinking Decisions by Asking Better Questions with Jamie Turner — Part 2

What if the way you talk to yourself is directly shaping your confidence, productivity, and even how you show up at work?

In part 2 of this conversation, Rebecca speaks with Jamie Turner: CNN contributor, Emory University professor, and author, whose work on mindset and productivity has been featured in outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Business Insider. He coaches Fortune 500 leaders to improve focus and performance under pressure.

They explore how subtle shifts in self-talk, particularly “I am” statements, can influence confidence, decision-making, and overwhelm. Jamie explains how thoughts trigger internal chemical responses in the brain, and how reframing language can help interrupt negative self-talk patterns and improve performance in high-pressure environments.

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, burnout, or overthinking decisions, this conversation offers practical frameworks to help you regain focus and direction in everyday micromoments.

What You'll Learn:

How imposter syndrome shows up in pricing, confidence, and self-worth at work
Why “I am” statements shape self-perception and influence behavior
How to use micromoments to interrupt negative thought loops in seconds
Why asking clarifying questions prevents misinterpretation and decision overload
Viktor Frankl’s idea of the space between stimulus and response
The “headlights” approach to career planning instead of rigid long-term plans
The four M’s framework: Mindset, Mentoring, Management, and Marketing
How discomfort expands your comfort zone and builds long-term confidence
Why purpose-driven thinking reduces ego-based stress and burnout
