As humans, our default is to focus on the uncontrollables. It is much easier to blame, complain, and make excuses than to take a close look in the mirror and examine ourselves and our actions. In this episode, Cindra talks about the foundation of performance – focusing on what you can control and how to do that.
Power Phrase of the Week: “I dominate the controllables.”
Quote of the Week: John Maxwell said, “Life is 10% of what happens to me, and 90% of how I react to it.”

Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”
Today on the podcast we explore the power of our thoughts. We all have automatic negative thoughts (or ANTS) and our ANTS can seem very real. We want to notice our ANTS and take a step back to diminish their power. You shouldn’t believe everything you think because your brain’s purpose is to keep you safe, watching for negativity.
Power Phrase this Week: “I level up my thoughts to level up my life.”
Knowing doesn’t create change; it’s the doing that creates change. You may know about why we have negativity as humans, but you must put it into action to see the results. In this episode, Cindra talks about how negativity isn’t always bad – it can help us make good decisions and protect us. But many times too much doesn’t serve it. Savoring is one way to train your mind to see the good and the possibilities.
Power Phrase of the Week: “I savor the good to combat my negativity bias.”
Quote of the Week: “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.” Willie Nelson

Quote of the Week: “You have the power to change your thoughts and your thoughts have the power to change your life.”— Ron Willingham
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.”
James Robilotta is a author, professional speaker, personal coach, and entrepreneur that's trained in stand-up and improv comedy.

He works with colleges, corporations, associations, and individuals with a focus on authentic leadership. He focuses on something other authors and speakers won’t touch: imperfection.
In 2015, he published his first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings. The concepts of authentic leadership and leading imperfectly are the driving forces behind conversations about giving/receiving feedback, rapport building, engagement, increased productivity, retention, promoting memorability, life balance, and more.

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.”
