THE LOWDOWN EPISODE #116 - START WITH THE END IN MIND w/ DR. JIM LOEHR

“Who you become as a result of the chase is the most important thing”One of the most transformational podcasts I have recorded to date. It was a pleasure to speak with Dr.Jim Loehr about his new book "Wise Decisions" and his brilliant work in the Sport Psychology sphere over the past 30 years!Utilising sport as a tool to impact others, "you get a life by giving it away." This purpose driven lens has flavoured Dr.Jim's work for the past 30 years. As one begins that journey of "coming home" they must learn best as to how to navigate that path.With the brain responsible for making 35,000 decisions a day, how can you harness this to coach you forward? It is after all the most important asset one can have. Furthermore why with every decision we take we either are getting closer or further to home?For all of those involved in Sports indeed what is presented to us here is an extraordinary opportunity and in an extraordinary time.
