Hi, I’m Molly, the Mindset Engineer life coach. I started my career in the Army as an intelligence analyst and moved on to the corporate world as an engineer at a large aerospace company. I’ve always had a passion for patterns especially in music and movement, it’s what attracted me to physics, chemistry and mechanical engineering in college. After years of working with data with all sorts of teams, technical and non technical, I finally saw that all we were doing with data is drawing the target around the arrow. You’ve probably heard of confirmation bias but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I dove into this with a fascinated curiosity.
As the company was pushing a data driven decision making initiative, I was coming to realize that data driven decision making is a total myth. We can only ever find in data what we are already looking for, whether we are conscious of what we are looking for or not. And this is not a problem at all! But it is important that we understand what is going on in our thinking as we interact with data (data meaning any and all information about yourself and the world).
This became the foundation of my life coaching. The data is helpful, it is a reflection of what we are already believing. If we are looking for the data to give us something different to belief however, we’ll never find the evidence we need to change. If however we use the data to inform us of what we are truly believing, that we weren’t already aware of, then it is useful. From there, making any change in your life follows an engineering design process that starts on a blank sheet of paper. I lead people in this process of radical transformation and self discovery in which they shift their experience of life to be how they most love to live it.
