159: Lessons Learned from One of the World's Best

In this episode, Cindra talks with TJ and Lisa about the Winter Olympic Games using a world-class skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, as an example. Summary: High performers feel the fear, but don’t let it keep them from doing what they want to, have to, or designed to do.  They know it’s natural to have negativity – but they are aware of it and talk back to build their confidence. They don’t beat themselves up when they fail – but embrace the beauty of the emotions. Week’s Power Phrase: I keep a calm and clear mind. I tell myself anything is possible RIGHT NOW!
