High Performance Mindset | Learn from World-Class Leaders, Consultants, Athletes & Coaches about Mindset

When we decide to respond not react, we are less likely to have our buttons pressed. We take control over our self, creating choice. We are able to lead intentionally, and lead the hardest person to lead – ourselves. In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares the PCR Strategy from her new book, Beyond Grit for Business, to help us respond not react. Power Phrase this Week: “I choose to respond with purpose and intention.”  Quote of the Week: “When you react, you are giving away your power. When you respond, you are staying in control of yourself.” Bob Proctor 

Dr. Jessamy Hibberd discusses Imposter Syndrome, its negative impacts, and the influence of upbringing on these feelings. She provides strategies for addressing and overcoming Imposter Syndrome, including reframing negative thoughts and creating a success journal.

High performers don’t hope their thinking will work for them; they make their thinking work for them. They are intentional and purposeful with their daily self-talk. They condition their minds each and every day which helps overcome self-doubt. Intentional thinking does.  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I level up my thoughts to level up my life.” This Week's Quote of the Week: “Fear and self-doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential.” Brian Tracy

Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice. We all have an inner critic inside of us. We want to be aware of our inner critic to reduce it. Remember our inner critic tends to lie to us. We want to respond to our inner critic with challenging questions like a judge in a court room and choose a more empowering and truthful statement to tell ourselves instead.  This Week's Power Phrase: “I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic.”  Quote of the Week: “Don’t beat yourself up for beating yourself up. We need to make friends with our inner critic.” Kristen Neff
