Reframing is all about controlling the meaning of an experience. How you look at something and the meaning you assign to that situation, determines the actions you take or don’t take. 

We are always thinking and speaking from a certain frame.  These frames can be the reason why you don’t achieve the goals you set out to do. As a leader, being intentional and skillful with reframing thoughts and behaviors, you’ll be able to help yourself  and your team take massive action and create more success in your business and life.
