An Interview with Steven Feinberg.

In this episode, Steven joins me to discuss what NeuroStrategy is and how it can help leaders and organizations triumph. He shares how growing up in a world of uncertainty shaped his path to becoming a NeuroStrategist.

He explains the characteristics of a “first adapter” and outlines the principles of NeuroStrategy. He also reveals why using willpower alone is one of the biggest mistakes people make when they get stuck in a problem and provides an example of how higher-order pattern recognition can empower leaders and entrepreneurs.


This week on The Mindset Zone:

  • Steven’s background and his journey to becoming a NeuroStrategist
  • NeuroStrategy and its applications for entrepreneurs
  • What it means to be a first adapter
  • Seeing your options through Game Spotting
  • Defying expectations with Pattern Busting
  • How framing the future can help you create the exception
  • The Task Commander and the Complexity Thinker
  • How coaches and trusted advisors can help leaders overcome blindspots
  • The difference between a “first-order” and “second-order” change
  • Why we get stuck in solving problems
  • The power of higher-order pattern recognition

Ana, So true! My first husband died at age 25, and I couldn't push through uncertainly and I cannot now. We have to learn to be comfortable with it. Sometimes a daunting task.

What helped me during peak Covid times was remembering a few key phrases such as, “I don’t have to know the solution, but I need some hope.”

Brilliant interview, Ana and Steven. Game spotting, pattern busting, and frame setting are powerful cognitive tools. These resonate well with Peripheral Thinking?. Ana Melikian, PhD, thank you for interviewing Steven. Steven Feinberg, PhD, thank you for sharing your insights.
