What if the secret to high performance lies not in achieving more but in shifting your mindset and narratives?
I recently had the privilege to join Todd Herman on The Upcoach Podcast, where Todd and I explored unique approaches that centers on empathy and understanding, and how to challenge your thought process and belief systems effectively. You will also hear about the power of the alter ego strategy and how it can be instrumental in sports and personal life.
We dove deep into focusing on narrative work and shifting the language around confidence, shedding light on the significance of understanding people’s definitions of confidence and the power of focusing on who you want to be rather than what you want to achieve.
Check out the audio of our episode above and I encourage you to consume Todd’s other episodes on your preferred streaming platform.
