Discipline and motivation are key, but relying solely on discipline can be exhausting. Motivation, on the other hand, is internal and fuels you. Great people are motivated and driven, not just disciplined. While discipline has its uses, such as getting back on track or trying something new, it shouldn't be the sole strategy. Over-reliance on discipline can lead to burnout. So instead of slogging through, find what truly motivates you and stay deeply engaged.
On the first of two special episodes, acclaimed executive performance coach and doctor of psychology Dr. Julie Gurner goes in-depth on a variety of strategies and actionable advice that will help you perform up to your potential. During this portion of her interview, Dr. Gurner discusses discipline, motivation, the imaginary rules we learned as children that hold us back today, setting boundaries, the advantages of caring deeply and challenging directly, and much more.
Dr. Gurner has spent the past 14 years working with top percentile executives, talent, and teams operating in fast-paced, competitive environments. She specializes in improving personal productivity, focus, and decision-making strategies, as well as developing high performance cultures, teams, and executives emphasizing ownership and leadership.
