159: Lessons Learned from One of the World's Best Feb 20, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Cindra talks with TJ and Lisa about the Winter Olympic Games using a world-class skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, as an example.

Summary: High performers feel the fear, but don't let it keep them from doing what they want to, have to, or designed to do. They know it's natural to have negativity – but they are aware of it and talk back to build their confidence. They don't beat themselves up when they fail – but embrace the beauty of the emotions.

Week's Power Phrase: I keep a calm and clear mind. I tell myself anything is possible RIGHT NOW!

157: How to be a Great Teammate Feb 14, 2018

Magic Johnson once said: "Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for teammates."

High performers are a good teammate. They work to support and help others on their team and in their family. They praise others but give honest feedback. They celebrate others and assume whatever role is necessary. They check their ego at the door – instead, are humble and always growing.

This Week's Power Phrase: "I support and celebrate my teammates. I put We before Me!"
