    Apr 23 2024

    In this episode, we delve into the concept of being an ideal team player, exploring the three virtues of humility, hunger, and people smarts as outlined in Patrick Lencioni's book of the same name.

    We examine how these qualities extend beyond the workplace and into our daily lives, fostering better relationships and a more fulfilling existence.

    Finally, we discuss the role of insecurity as a barrier to embracing these virtues and the importance of seeking feedback for personal growth.

  • The Mindset Continuum, Levels of Leadership, Playing in Streams, & More
    Apr 16 2024

    This week, we're diving deep into one of our foundational frameworks, exploring what we've previously referred to as the "hierarchy of mindset" but are now reframing as the "mindset continuum."

    We unpack the reasoning behind this shift in terminology and take a closer look at the different stages that comprise this continuum, from the victim mindset to the pinnacle of mental fitness: the competitor mindset.

    Along the way, we'll offer practical insights and actionable strategies for recognizing where we currently reside on the continuum and how we can work towards cultivating a more resilient, growth-oriented perspective – one that empowers us to embrace challenges and adversity as opportunities for personal growth and evolution.
