Coaching Conversations in 2025 The Power of "I Am"
What if two minutes of your day could completely transform your team's performance and eliminate workplace conflict? That's exactly what happened when one skeptical leader implemented a simple practice of positive affirmations with their team.
The power of "I am" statements is nothing new, but its application in professional settings remains underutilized. Drawing from observations of athletes like Kyrie Irving and business leaders from Shark Tank, this episode explores how intentional self-talk literally rewires our brains for success. When we repeatedly tell ourselves "I am going to be a great coach" or "I am going to listen to the next five people I talk to," we're not just engaging in wishful thinking—we're programming our neural pathways to notice opportunities aligned with these statements.
The beauty of this practice lies in its simplicity and accessibility. No special equipment, expensive consultants, or complex frameworks required—just a commitment to spending a few minutes daily focusing on positive affirmations. One leader who tried this approach with their team was initially concerned their team would find it "dumb," but the results spoke for themselves. Week after week, performance improved, team mood elevated, and most surprisingly, conflict disappeared entirely. Even outside observers commented on the positive shift: "Your team's in a good mood lately."
Ready to transform your team dynamics with the power of intentional self-talk? Try implementing "I am" statements in your daily routine and watch as these tiny seeds of positivity grow into tangible results. What three things will you affirm today?
