Tapped Minds - The Gap Between Wanting It and Getting It

Looking for an easy way to learn something new and connect with others? Tapped Minds is a monthly Boise State Alumni Association event that brings interesting ideas out of the classroom and into a relaxed, social setting.

Join us on the first Monday of each month from 6–7 p.m. at Lost Grove Brewing for an engaging talk from someone in the Boise State community.

This month’s topic: The Gap Between Wanting It and Getting It

A new year has a way of making anything feel possible... You've got the motivation, that "new year, new me" energy! maybe even a running list of things you're ready to finally make happen. You've got everything you need... right? Well, maybe not.

Here's the deal. Most people need more than that new year's resolution energy to make a change or achieve something. Research shows the difference between people who reach their goals and people who don't has little to do with motivation. Megan Renaldo, a Boise State alumna and founder of Renaldo & Co. Performance Consulting, is pulling back the curtain on the behavioral science behind why goals stall, and what high performers actually do differently to accomplish big things. Come ready to make 2027 the year you get stuff done!

As a leadership and performance coach, Megan works with leaders and business owners to build higher performing teams and organizations. A former Division I soccer player at Boise State, she holds both a bachelor's in marketing and a master's in organizational performance and workplace learning from Boise State. She also currently serves as President of Varsity B, Boise State’s letter winners club.

The presentation lasts about 30 minutes, followed by time for questions and casual conversation. Expect something more like a TED Talk: approachable, engaging and designed to spark curiosity.

Tapped Minds is open to alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members, and there is no cost to attend. An RSVP is encouraged to help with planning, but walk-ins are always welcome.

As a bonus, $1 from every beer sold between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. will be donated to the Boise State Alumni Association to support alumni programs and community-building efforts.
