Jan 07: Upping Your Game When It Matters Most with Dr. Dana Sinclair
Performance psychologist helps identify your performance style for work, home, and winning in life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! And, as always, thank you for joining us.
Today, we’re not talking about new year’s resolutions – which most of us have abandoned by January 15th anyway. But we are talking about about how you can learn to step up your performance, with Dr. Dana Sinclair – her book, Dialed In: Do Your Best When It Matters Most.
Dr. Sinclair says ” … motivation is overrated”, and we’ll find out why. We discuss how to identify our individual performance style, and the importance of planning. And we bust some of the most common myths and lousy advice.
Why is daydreaming important? Why does character beat out talent? How do you develop helpful habits and routines? How do they differ from superstitious rituals? And how do you overcome the fear of failure, and stop self-sabotaging We share all of that, too.
