In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with University of New Mexico Head Football Coach Jason Eck to explore what it truly takes to build belief inside a team. In his first season leading the Lobos, Coach Eck engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in college football—leading the program to nine wins, a bowl game appearance, and Mountain West Coach of the Year honors after being projected near the bottom of the conference. But behind the wins is something deeper. Coach Eck shares how leadership, culture, and mindset shape the foundation of a high-performing team. Drawing from more than two decades of coaching experience across Division II, FCS, and FBS football—including championship runs at Minnesota State and South Dakota State—he explains how leaders create environments where confidence grows and teams outperform expectations. Throughout the conversation, Eck discusses how belief is rebuilt in struggling programs, how players develop mental toughness for high-pressure moments, and why culture must become player-driven rather than coach-driven for lasting success. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence and culture aren't built overnight. They are created through daily standards, aligned leadership, and a mindset that prepares teams to perform when the stakes are highest. You'll Learn: • How Coach Eck helped players build real confidence after a turnaround season • What leaders can do to help teams handle pressure and rising expectations • Mental habits athletes use to stay composed in high-stakes moments • How leaders rebuild belief in teams that haven't experienced success • Leadership lessons from rebuilding multiple football programs Episode Resources & Links Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Follow University of New Mexico Football: (1) New Mexico Football (@UNMLoboFB) / X Follow Jason Eck on X: (1) Jason Eck (@Coach_Eck) / X Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Download our Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/

Quote of the Week: "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." — Ralph Waldo Emerson Why do we care so much about what other people think, and how is it impacting our confidence? In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff and Lisa talk about FOPO — the Fear of Other People's Opinions, a term coined by performance psychologist Michael Gervais. When we let outside voices guide our decisions, our confidence shrinks and we start playing small. You'll hear why comparison is one of the fastest confidence killers, how FOPO quietly shows up in everyday moments, and what high performers do differently to stay grounded in their purpose instead of approval. If you've ever hesitated to speak up, share an idea, or pursue an opportunity because of what others might think—this episode is for you.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Glen Guyton—futurist, leadership strategist, and author of The Art of Harmonious Trust—to explore why trust is not a soft leadership concept, but a measurable performance strategy. Glen's work sits at the intersection of trust, employee retention, and future-focused talent development. Drawing from his experience across military, nonprofit, and corporate systems, Glen explains why competitive pay, perks, and policies often fail to retain high performers—and what leaders must understand about trust if they want people to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest level. Throughout the conversation, Glen introduces the concept of harmonious trust and breaks down how it differs from traditional conversations about culture. He shares the patterns he's observed in organizations that retain the right people—not just retain people—and the critical role direct supervisors play in engagement and quiet quitting. He also connects retention to skills development, workforce disruption, and future-ready talent strategy. This episode is a powerful reminder that organizations don't lose people because of change—they lose people when trust erodes during change. Leaders who build trust intentionally don't just improve morale—they create sustainable high performance. You'll Learn: Why trust is a performance strategy—not just a leadership value The real reason high performers leave even when compensation is competitive What "harmonious trust" means and how to build it The connection between skills gaps and employee retention How supervisors directly influence engagement and quiet quitting Early warning signs that commitment is slipping One practical habit leaders can implement immediately to strengthen trust Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Glen Guyton: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Order The Art of Harmonious Trust: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Download our 2025 Confidence Crisis Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Ted Ma—leadership strategist, researcher, author, and keynote speaker—to explore what truly separates average leaders from exceptional ones. Earlier in his career, Ted built and led a sales organization of more than 6,000 people across North America. But through that experience, he began asking a deeper question: What actually makes leadership sustainable, impactful, and human? That curiosity led him to study mentorship, trust, confidence, and culture—and to develop the concept of Everyday Mentorship. Throughout the conversation, Ted explains why leadership isn't about titles or authority—it's about the small, daily behaviors that build trust, confidence, and performance over time. He breaks down the "DNA" of high-performing teams, why culture is a true competitive advantage, and the common misconceptions leaders have when trying to shift culture. Ted also shares research-backed insights on what drives engagement and retention, the mental barriers that limit leadership confidence, and practical ways leaders can begin building stronger cultures immediately. This episode is a powerful reminder that high performance doesn't happen by accident—it's built intentionally, one conversation and one courageous leadership decision at a time. You'll Learn: What Everyday Mentorship really means—and why it matters now more than ever The DNA of high-performing sales teams Why culture is a competitive advantage (not just a buzzword) The biggest misconception leaders have about changing culture Research insights on trust, confidence, and engagement The mental barriers that limit leadership growth One practical framework leaders can implement immediately Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Ted Ma: https://realtedma.com/ Download our 2025 National Confidence Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/
