Game Changers with Molly Fletcher – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Most people are trying to change their results without ever changing the beliefs creating them.

We tweak habits, push harder, and chase bigger goals— but underneath it all, our beliefs are shaping what we see, what we go after, and what we think is possible.

In this conversation, I sit down with Shawn Achor, author of The Power of Beliefs, to break down the seven core beliefs the science shows actually predict your success.

We talk about how your brain filters reality, why beliefs like "I matter" and "my behavior matters" can fundamentally change the trajectory of your life and leadership, and how to start rewiring the ones that may be holding you back.

By the end of this conversation, you'll start to see the beliefs driving your results— and how to shift them so they start working for you, not against you.

We love to celebrate winning—but we don't talk enough about what it takes to get there without losing yourself along the way.

After 15 years as the head women's basketball coach at UCLA, Cori Close just led her team to a national championship. But behind that moment was a constant tension so many high performers face: Can you compete at the highest level without compromising what you believe in?

In this conversation, Cori shares how she learned to manage that tension instead of trying to eliminate it—and why chasing outcomes can quietly pull you away from what matters most. From building a culture rooted in daily standards to redefining success beyond banners and rings, she offers a blueprint for leaders who want both excellence and alignment.

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a new way to think about success—one that's built on who you become, not just what you achieve.
