177: How to Address Impostor Syndrome May 01, 2018

Show notes

"Sometimes you have to get out of the way of yourself so you can be yourself."

Amy Cuddy

High performers know they may experience the Impostor Syndrome. When they do, they realize they are in good company. Then, they catch the thoughts causing it. They remind themselves they are enough. They focus on the value they bring and own their successes. They remember they didn't get lucky by chance. They reframe their limiting thoughts and remind themselves, they were meant to be here!

My High Performance Power Phrase:

"I am enough. I own my successes and remind myself, I am meant to be here!"

176: Finding Your Next Level Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

"You can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets." Richardo Parente

High performers find the next level by putting in the work. They realize they won't feel great all of the time, but stick with it knowing they will feel better in a mile. They help others because they know that doing so releases positive endorphins and they generally care for others. They adjust their goals when needed – and stay focused on the process of being at their best – not the outcome.

My High Performance Power Phrase:

"I put in the work necessary for success. I stick with it knowing it will feel sweet at the end!"

174: Dominate the Controllables Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

"When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation. Change the situation or accept it. All else is madness." Eckhart Tolle

High performers dominate their APE. They focus on what they can control – their attitude, preparation and effort and dominate their reaction to what they cannot control. They choose a positive perspective. They prepare full out and are all in to their pursuit of their long-term goals. They use the 86,400 seconds in each day to their fullest capacity. They give their best day in and day out.

My High Performance Power Phrase:

"I dominate my APE. I give my best attitude, preparation, and effort day in and day out."

173: How to Stay Positive in a Negative World Apr 12, 2018

Show notes

"If you change the way you look at things, the thing you look at change." Wayne Dyer

High performers choose positivity in a negative world so they thrive. They use reframing daily which is the process of recreating alternative frames or looking at their life, sport, or the world. They see how the obstacle is helping me. This helps them feel unstoppable and excited about their life, sport, and job.

My High Performance Power Phrase:

"I choose positivity. I choose to bring positive energy each day and in each situation. I choose to focus on what is great in my life and on my team."

171: The Comparison Trap Apr 03, 2018

Show notes

"Comparison with myself bring improvement, comparison with others brings discontent." Betty Jamie Chung

High performers focus on their improvement and reaching their standard of excellence instead of comparing themselves to others. Comparison is the quickest way to let you, your team, your family, or your individual performance suffer. Instead, high performers celebrate others and their accomplishments and ask themselves, "What can I learn from this person?"

Power Phrase this Week:

"I work to be my best me. I know the less I pay attention to others around me, the happier and higher performer I will be!"
