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

We all receive tough feedback and we can easily take it personally. In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares three strategies on how to receive feedback and find wisdom in the feedback.  Remember that what people do and say is about them and not about you. When you receive feedback or criticism, ask yourself, "What about this person would make them give feedback in this way?" Next, if the feedback is really bothering you, ask yourself, "What does this tell me about what I believe about myself?" And then, use the learn, burn, return strategy to move on.   This Week’s Power Phrase: “I find the meaning in the feedback I receive.”  This Week's Quote of the Week: “It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it.” - Stephen Covey

Boundaries are helpful because they help you care for yourself. It is easy to say yes to everything, and to "people please" in our culture.

Quote of the Week: “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” - Brené Brown This Week's Power Phrase: “I learn to say no to things so I can say yes to myself.”

In this week's podcast, Dr. Cindra shares the ABC method to better understand yourself. You can use the ABC method to increase your self-awareness and change your thoughts, emotions, and actions when needed. Consider what people or situations push your buttons. What can you do to stay in control in those situations? When you feel pressure or stress, you can pay attention to what led you to feel that way.  Quote of the Week: “I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.” —Billie Jean King  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I master myself to reach a new level.”    

The World’s Best choose courage instead of fear. They feel the fear, but don’t let it keep them from doing what they want to, have to, or were designed to do. High performers know that when they feel fear, it means they are doing something important and meaningful.  Quote of the Week: Tiamo de Vettori said it best, “Fear is the only thing in the world that gets smaller as you run towards it.”  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I embrace my fear and choose courage.” 

In this episode, we discuss the difference between showing yourself self-compassion vs. being self-critical. Self-compassion is a practice we can work towards each day and there are numerous benefits. The practice of self-compassion is giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others. When you are kind to yourself,  you can also be kind with others.   Quote of the Week: “Learning to embrace yourself and your imperfections gives you the resilience needed to thrive.” - Kristen Neff  This Week's Power Phrase: “I am kind to myself. I know I am doing the best I can.”  

We can feel like a fraud or fear that someone will “find us out” despite real concrete evidence that we should be confident in our ability, our future, and ourselves. In this episode, we talk about The Imposter Syndrome and what you should do when you doubt yourself and your ability.  Quote of the Week: Dr. Valerie Young said, “I think at the core of so much of these impostor feelings is these unrealistic, unsustainable expectations that we have for ourselves.”  This Week's Power Phrase: “I choose confidence today.”
