High Performance Mindset | Learn from World-Class Leaders, Consultants, Athletes & Coaches about Mindset

In this week's podcast, Dr. Cindra shares the ABC method to better understand yourself. You can use the ABC method to increase your self-awareness and change your thoughts, emotions, and actions when needed. Consider what people or situations push your buttons. What can you do to stay in control in those situations? When you feel pressure or stress, you can pay attention to what led you to feel that way. Quote of the Week: "I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion." —Billie Jean King This Week's Power Phrase: "I master myself to reach a new level."

The World's Best choose courage instead of fear. They feel the fear, but don't let it keep them from doing what they want to, have to, or were designed to do. High performers know that when they feel fear, it means they are doing something important and meaningful. Quote of the Week: Tiamo de Vettori said it best, "Fear is the only thing in the world that gets smaller as you run towards it." This Week's Power Phrase: "I embrace my fear and choose courage."

In this episode, we discuss the difference between showing yourself self-compassion vs. being self-critical. Self-compassion is a practice we can work towards each day and there are numerous benefits. The practice of self-compassion is giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others. When you are kind to yourself, you can also be kind with others. Quote of the Week: "Learning to embrace yourself and your imperfections gives you the resilience needed to thrive." - Kristen Neff This Week's Power Phrase: "I am kind to myself. I know I am doing the best I can."

We can feel like a fraud or fear that someone will "find us out" despite real concrete evidence that we should be confident in our ability, our future, and ourselves. In this episode, we talk about The Imposter Syndrome and what you should do when you doubt yourself and your ability. Quote of the Week: Dr. Valerie Young said, "I think at the core of so much of these impostor feelings is these unrealistic, unsustainable expectations that we have for ourselves." This Week's Power Phrase: "I choose confidence today."

In this episode, we talk about the secret of thriving as a team and as a person. In general, we can thrive to experience the 3 to 1 ratio which predicts us thriving. And in the workplace, we should strive for more of a 6 to 1 ratio if we want to build a high-performing team. Dr. Cindra explains both ratios. Quote of the Week: "When you think positive, good things happen." – Matt Kemp This Week's Power Phrase: "I choose empowering emotions and a positive perspective today."

In this episode, we talk about the Power of Grit at an individual level and organization level. Grit can be developed at the organizational level of your business. To build a gritty team, start by selecting and hiring gritty people and developing the grit of the people you already have. Gritty organizations have the same traits as gritty people: they are clear about their goals, keep their purpose front and center, choose positive and empowering energy, are compassionate with one another and themselves, have a desire to work hard, and persevere despite adversity and setbacks. Quote of the Week: "Grit is having the courage to push through no matter what the obstacles are because it's worth it." Chris Morris This Week's Power Phrase: "I am gritty. I am passionate and have a clear vision of the life I am building."

We all have the need to matter. How does what you do help, inspire, and provide for others? We achieve our deepest satisfaction when we desire to make a difference in the world. When we understand and express our gifts in the interest and for the sake of others, we feel fully alive. In this episode, we talk about how to find that uniqueness. Quote of the Week: "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Mark Anthony This Week's Power Phrase: "I live with purpose and in my Ikigai each day."

High performers in sport, business, and life use pressure to be at their best. Awareness is the first step to reducing pressure. They use natural tools inside of them to see pressure as a privilege. They POP the Pressure. Quote of the Week: "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise." - Kobe Bryant This Week's Power Phrase: "I see pressure as a privilege. Pressure leads me to greatness."

You'll have more energy to sustain you and your goals over years and decades when you cultivate your grit. Success is about sustained performance over time, and cultivating your grit each day is necessary to do so. In this episode, Cindra shares what it means to have grit over gift. Quote of the Week: "Grit is sticking with your future day in, day out and not just for a week, not just for the month, but for years." - Angela Duckworth, Professor at University of Pennsylvania This Week's Power Phrase: "I am gritty. I am passionate and have a clear vision of the life I am building."

When you decide to protect yourself and not to take things personally, you avoid needless suffering. You cannot be hurt by others. Your anger, irritation, jealousy, frustration, and conflicts with others lessen. You are happier and at your best more often. Quote of the Week: "Quit worrying about what other people think and follow your heart." —Jack Canfield This Week's Power Phrase: "I don't take what other people do or say personally. I decide to protect my confidence and grit."

Self-compassion is a practice; it is not a switch we can just flip on. Self-compassion is a habit we form by practicing kindness in the moment many times throughout our day. When you are kind to yourself, then you can be kind with others. As the Dalai Lama said, "One must be compassionate to one's self before external compassion." Quote of the Week: "A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life." —Christopher K. Germer This Week's Power Phrase: "I am kind to myself. I am doing the best I can. I got it next time!"

We all experience automatic negative thoughts because our brain's role is to keep us safe, not to help us perform well or be happy. To reduce our automatic negative thinking, we first must notice our thoughts. An important part of reaching your greater potential is recognizing that you shouldn't believe everything you hear—you want to recognize the ANT, label the ANTs, and then question your ANT. Quote of the Week: Rick Hanson, PhD said: "Our brain is like Velcro for bad experiences and like Teflon for good ones." This Week's Power Phrase: "I am not my thoughts. I will not believe everything I think!"

Quote of the Week: "Changing your story is as simple as choosing better stories to tell yourself." Kindra Hall

Power Phrase of the Week: "I am not my thoughts. I will not believe everything I think!" Quote of the Week: "You are not your thoughts. You are the OBSERVER of your thoughts." Amit Ray

Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice that can sound scared, angry, or judgmental. We want to be aware of our inner critic to reduce it. We all have an inner critic inside of us.

This Week's Power Phrase: "I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic." This Week's Quote of the Week: "It is not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it is what you whisper to yourself that has the most power." Robert Kiyosoki

This week on the podcast, we talk about various ways to adopt a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. When we adopt a growth mindset, we see challenges as exciting and find optimistic ways of explaining adversity. A growth mindset has been linked to achievement, more happiness, healthier relationships, and a higher motivation. "Quote of the Week: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan Power Phrase of the Week: "When I get frustrated with my progress, I will remind myself I just haven't done it yet."

In this episode, we encourage you to think about what you really want in 2023. High performers set goals because it gives them direction and focus. They write their goals down. They follow through with their goals and keep them in mind during the year. They write down the steps to reach their goals, and then are flexible along the way. Power Phrase of the Week: "I am focused on my goals in 2023." Quote of the Week: "Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life." Les Brown

Angie Bastian, along with her husband, Dan, are the founders of Angie's BOOMCHICKAPOP, one of the most successful homegrown snack food stories in the 21st century. Angie and Dan Bastian were looking to put aside some money for their kids' college fund when they started a small kettle corn business out of the family's garage. They sold the popcorn at festivals and sporting events, eventually becoming the official popcorn of the Minnesota Vikings after delivering several free bags of popcorn to the players to eat while they watched film during training camp. Eventually, Angie retired from her work as a nurse practitioner and Dan from teaching history to run their company full-time. The ultimate game changer took place when Angie's Kettle Corn became BOOMCHICKAPOP, and the rebranding took place.
