FRANCESCA RADBILL- Principal at Radbill Consulting

As Principal of Radbill Consulting, she works with corporations and individuals designing trainings, which allow people to create powerful new frameworks to operate out of, ‘evolutionizing’ lives and corporations.

1.) You train people in thinking ‘differently,’ could you elaborate more on what this means?

Most of us don’t realize that how we think is as programmed, like a computer database. The data we think from is composed of our own individual experiences and knowledge with pre-drawn conclusions. Our brains are like the computer and can only draw on from what is in this database.  Because the conclusions or what we are able to see are only from what is in the database, it therefore becomes limited.

Most of us are not even aware that we are limited in our thinking.   I refer to this as one-dimensional thinking.  We have been trained in primarily using the left side of our brain.  What I refer to as ‘evolutionary thinking’ trains us to access from the right side as well, where limitless possibilities and true creativity occur.

2.) I believe most people are not consciously aware of the frameworks they build for themselves. Could you explain what a framework is? What limitations can one’s framework put on creating possible outcomes?

A framework, as defined by the Webster Dictionary, is a skeletal structure designed to support or enclose something.  As in the definition, it encloses or closes off (limits) how we see things.  We live out of mental frameworks that are enclosing us, most of the time we don’t even know that we are doing that.

3.) What advice would you give to those facing obstacles?

To look at the framework that you are holding the obstacle in.  If to you an obstacle is something that shouldn’t be there you will struggle with it.  If to you an obstacle is just what showed up you will look to what you need to do to move through it.  Our biggest “obstacle” in life is that we think life should look differently than the way it does and we resist what shows up.  This keeps us stuck instead of moving forward.

5.) What effect does languaging have on one’s mindset? What are some examples of languaging that you advise to avoid?

When we start to notice how we speak and think it gives rise to what outcomes we are expecting and what limits we are setting.  Awareness in our language can actually shift our frameworks and allows us to shift and expand our potentials.   Although many of us speak about wanting something different much of our following dialogue is about how it ‘won’t’ or ‘can’t’ happen.  Our language and thinking continue to reinforce what we say we don’t want.

6.) In your programs you speak of the influence of your ego or how you identify yourself. Can you explain this?

How you identify yourself is how you relate to yourself.  All of this exists in a framework of what you see as possible for you. This is something you have made up and isn’t necessarily true. You will never outlive your self-portrait so if you think you can’t accomplish something, you just won’t. There is no truth about you unless you say there is and relate to yourself as there is.

7.) What role does one’s identity play in limiting their future?

Our identities are made up by us yet for many of us we relate to how we are as a permanent condition, instead of something we can ongoingly invent.  What is my self portrait?  Start becoming aware of your own internal dialogue and what your foundational stories are.  Does it support you in what you are up to and your dreams?  If it doesn’t, it will limit your future.  Inside of life there are infinite possibilities. Whenever we approach anything in our lives with “I can’t” we are setting a limit.  Know that there is a huge difference between I can’t and I choose not to, choosing not to still leaves you with power.

8.) What are three questions you would propose for someone to ask themselves to gain a better insight about their authentic self?

1.) What am I passionate about?
2.) Where do I limit myself or do not feel I am living in my fullest potential?
3.) What excuses am I making in life that I am not being authentic with myself about?

9.) What are some tips you could offer to someone who wants to get started in changing their framework in order to achieve at a higher level?

Much of what I teach people is mindfulness from a conscious state.  Change would not be a word I would use for it implies that there is something wrong or in need of fixing.  We continuously invent ourselves moment to moment.  There is nothing to change, only “who do I want to be right now?”  We do have a choice.  Inside of whatever we choose look at what you are telling yourself about being that?  Where are you setting your limits about why you can’t instead of looking to what actions are necessary to support that.  Life unfolds from where we are looking or focusing.
