Do you want to find ways to build more alignment, manage your energy effectively, and increase your motivation levels?
This course, taught by executive coach and Olympic Psychologist Jason Richardson, PsyD, will empower you to do all of these things and more. Jason will first walk through how you can shift your mindset to create an environment for success. He'll help you identify what's important to you, and what goals you're looking to achieve. Then he'll review how you can reduce your energy killers and swap them out with sources that can give you more energy. Jason will also provide methods for how you can commit to achieving your goals by building in consistency, finding your why, and placing your bets. Finally, he'll review how you can keep yourself motivated as you look to accomplish and achieve new things. After finishing this course, you will feel prepared to incorporate these habits, shift your mindset, and win every day.
You don’t stumble into consistent winning; it takes deliberate preparation that begins long before the stakes get high. In this module, you’ll build the foundational mindset for success by identifying where you’re aligned, reconnecting with what drives you, and assembling the internal and external networks that make going all in possible.
