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

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.” 

In this episode, we talk about the secret of thriving as a team and as a person. In general, we can thrive to experience the 3 to 1 ratio which predicts us thriving. And in the workplace, we should strive for more of a 6 to 1 ratio if we want to build a high-performing team. Dr. Cindra explains both ratios. Quote of the Week: “When you think positive, good things happen.” – Matt Kemp  This Week's Power Phrase: “I choose empowering emotions and a positive perspective today.” 

In this episode, we talk about the Power of Grit at an individual level and organization level. Grit can be developed at the organizational level of your business. To build a gritty team, start by selecting and hiring gritty people and developing the grit of the people you already have. Gritty organizations have the same traits as gritty people: they are clear about their goals, keep their purpose front and center, choose positive and empowering energy, are compassionate with one another and themselves, have a desire to work hard, and persevere despite adversity and setbacks. Quote of the Week: "Grit is having the courage to push through no matter what the obstacles are because it’s worth it.” Chris Morris  This Week's Power Phrase: “I am gritty. I am passionate and have a clear vision of the life I am building.”   

We all have the need to matter. How does what you do help, inspire, and provide for others? We achieve our deepest satisfaction when we desire to make a difference in the world. When we understand and express our gifts in the interest and for the sake of others, we feel fully alive. In this episode, we talk about how to find that uniqueness.  Quote of the Week: “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.” Mark Anthony This Week's Power Phrase: “I live with purpose and in my Ikigai each day.”  

High performers in sport, business, and life use pressure to be at their best. Awareness is the first step to reducing pressure. They use natural tools inside of them to see pressure as a privilege. They POP the Pressure.  Quote of the Week: "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise." - Kobe Bryant   This Week's Power Phrase: “I see pressure as a privilege. Pressure leads me to greatness.” 

You’ll have more energy to sustain you and your goals over years and decades when you cultivate your grit. Success is about sustained performance over time, and cultivating your grit each day is necessary to do so. In this episode, Cindra shares what it means to have grit over gift.  Quote of the Week: “Grit is sticking with your future day in, day out and not just for a week, not just for the month, but for years.” - Angela Duckworth, Professor at University of Pennsylvania    This Week's Power Phrase: “I am gritty. I am passionate and have a clear vision of the life I am building."

When you decide to protect yourself and not to take things personally, you avoid needless suffering. You cannot be hurt by others. Your anger, irritation, jealousy, frustration, and conflicts with others lessen. You are happier and at your best more often.   Quote of the Week: “Quit worrying about what other people think and follow your heart.” —Jack Canfield  This Week's Power Phrase: “I don’t take what other people do or say personally. I decide to protect my confidence and grit.” 

Self-compassion is a practice; it is not a switch we can just flip on. Self-compassion is a habit we form by practicing kindness in the moment many times throughout our day. When you are kind to yourself, then you can be kind with others. As the Dalai Lama said, “One must be compassionate to one’s self before external compassion.”     Quote of the Week: “A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.” —Christopher K. Germer This Week's Power Phrase: “I am kind to myself. I am doing the best I can. I got it next time!”
