Bringing the ultra-runner discipline and mindset into the boardroom
Let’s unpack what peak performance is to you, and how you can employ that in your life and in business. That will require honesty to yourself, taking responsibility, being tenacious, resilient, constant practice and regular feedback sessions.
Takeaway Messages:
Get to know yourself, understand where you are right now, delve into the power of your mind, know how to not only set big, hairy, audacious goals, but also how to achieve more than 90% of your goals consistently and on time, know how to live in the zone of fulfilment even when you are super busy.
STOP wanting motivation, it sucks! Learn about what will inspire permanent change in your life and business, because motivation is not it. What you need is to become an Athlete of the Mind.
We unpack taking responsibility for your life and business and then we look at how to cultivate discipline in all aspects of your life and business and how to maintain a super high standard of living your life and conducting your business. Just like the athlete trains every day to be a better athlete, you need to train every day to become better at life and business.
We are facing the sixth mass extinction due to climate change.
Why is this a problem you ask?
We’ve had 5 of these before. This one however, is accelerated by human hands at an alarming rate. However, all is not lost. This is the story of a woman (sometimes with purple hair) who decided that one person can change the world. Sharon tells her story of dedicating her legs and her voice to rhino conservation in particular and how this evolved into more than caring about climate change into doing something about climate change.
Learn about rewilding yourself, your garden and how you can disconnect to reconnect to yourself, others and nature without leaving modern life behind.
The fascinating story of how each of us have the potential to change the world, one step at a time.
