Grit has been described as the number #1 predictor of long-term success. We all need to develop our grit to be successful. To do so, you can consider what are you working towards long-term? What will take years and years of hard work, dedication and sacrifice to develop? And then, remember you will experience plenty of obstacles and setbacks – both external and internal obstacles. The key is to focus on the gains, and find an empowering meaning even in the difficulty. Power Phrase this Week:" "I am gritty. I am passionate and have a clear vision of the life I am building."

Today we talk about when we can be too gritty. We discuss Simone Biles, the USA gymnast, who withdrew from the Olympic All-American competition. As Simone said, our "physical health is mental health." To ensure we are not pushing too hard, we can listen to our mind and body, care for ourselves, and engage in good self-care. Power Phrase this Week: "I listen to my body and mind in order to reach my potential."

Most people dream too small or lose the ability to dream as they age. They let limiting beliefs get in the way, or they listen to other people's disbelief in their goals and dreams. A key factor to keep in mind when you are setting goals is that the power of setting goals is who you can become in the process. Make connecting with your goals a daily mindset practice. Power Phrase this Week:" "I dream big to help me reach my best and my potential." Quote of the Week: "Believe in your dreams and anything is possible." Usain Bolt

On the podcast this week, we discuss how to thrive on "the big stage" in the moments that are important to us. It is natural to feel pressure in these moments. We feel pressure when the outcome is important to us and the outcome is uncertain. You can't live a life without pressure. The key is to manage your reactions to it. Notice your thoughts and emotions. Focus on what you can control – which is only you and your response to the situation. Power Phrase this Week:" I focus on what I can control. I trust myself today." Quote of the week: "Everything negative – pressure and challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise." Kobe Bryant

Today we are talking about the power of our own self-talk and how to overcome our own inner critic. What you think about yourself, you become. You can train your mind to level up your belief in yourself. Dr. Kamphoff shares with a powerful strategy we can use to level up our thoughts called The Truth Meter. Power Phrase this Week:" I talk to myself powerfully and tell myself the truth." Quote of the Week: "Work harder on yourself than you do your job." Jim Rohn, American businessman and self-made millionaire

Several years ago, Google undertook a massive two-year study on high-performing teams, calling it "Project Aristotle." They sought to answer the question "What makes a high performing team?" After conducting over 200 interviews, they surprisingly found a top ingredient for high-performing teams was psychological safety—in fact, it was the most important ingredient in high-performing teams. Today on the podcast, we talk about how we can apply this idea to building a thriving culture at work, home, or any other place we lead. Quote of the Week: "If you want to succeed, double your failure rate." Tom Watson, CEO of IBM Power Phrase of the Week:" I see failure and mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow."

Today in this episode, Dr. Cindra who works with several Olympians, talks about how we each need to train our mind like an Olympian. Training your mind like an Olympian includes believing in your potential, and believing anything is possible. Research also confirms that importance of preplanning our self-talk for moments we feel pressure. What do you want to say to yourself when you want to step into your potential? Power Phrase this Week: "I train my mind like an Olympian believing anything is possible." Quote of the Week: "Failure, I can live with. Not trying is what I can't handle."
