If you isolate ONE THING about peak performers — the one thing that has put them at the pinnacle of career success, above anything and everything else, it is their inner game. Call it mental toughness, confidence, courage – it is the profound ability stay in control and triumph when facing problems at work.
The opposite of mental toughness is fear. If a person is not exhibiting peak performance at work, he has three common denominators, all driven by fear:
1. He is stressed. The average person is overwhelmed with different types of work stress – deadlines, fear of failure or rejection, pressure from others, or confusion about his priorities. He then procrastinates, works on the wrong things, or does the bare minimum.
2. He is communicating poorly. The two most common mistakes are a) passiveness – failing to address issues (leading to poor results) and b) aggressiveness – complaining and criticizing (leading to low trust).
3. He is de-motivated. Without a strong inner game to deal with daily challenges from clients, co-workers, and his personal life, the average person falls prey to episodes of low motivation. This creates low productivity and job dissatisfaction.
For the first time, there is a step-by-step formula for gaining the intangible mental toughness factor needed to conquer work challenges at lightening speed.
Those who possess this highly valuable, intangible mental toughness factor are prized for their results driven nature. Want to know what kind of performer grows his efficiency constantly, makes brilliant decisions that guarantees the success of projects, and leads others with assertiveness and trust? It’s someone who knows how to master fear at work using the intangible “mental toughness factor.”
Here’s what happened: There’s an athlete in Canada named Lisa Brown who was the best in her sport for about 24 years. She was the queen of performing in clutch situations, won several World Championships, and wound up in the Hall of Fame. You might think that Lisa led a charmed life, basking in the kind of money and fame that top athletes like Michael Jordan enjoy. No…that’s not what happened to Lisa.
Lisa’s sport was not well-known, and few females ever make a bona fide living in sport. So Lisa turned to her second career…that of teaching the intangible mental toughness factor hardly anybody understands–but that the best-of-the-best, world class athletes possess. Whether it was one-on-one coaching, seminars, or consulting, for 14 years Lisa helped people overcome their inner, emotional barriers to achieve peak performance.
You get the picture.
But now, Lisa has topped herself. Now, after 14 years, she has created a completely unique professional development program that has the potential to transform every person’s life…and…
“This Program Solves Every Performance Problem Including
Procrastination, De-motivation, Poor Communication, and Low Productivity”
Here was the original vision, the idea that came to Lisa: “Is there a mental toughness formula we can use to dismantle fear and solve virtually every work challenge?”
The Courage to Win® formula has been 14 years in the making. It has been developed, researched, and assessed in applied work with over 6,000 people. Two solid years were spent writing it. It was then revised 23 times and tested in over 1300 live seminars. When the dust settled, approximately $258,000 had been invested in research and development over a 14 year period. This formula addresses the root cause of fear and underachievement, and it is not available from any other source.
The Courage to Win® at Work: Mental Toughness for Peak Performance Seminar gives your employees the path for transforming their inner game to create superior results. Here is a glimpse of the teachings presented in this training program:
1. Erase Stress and De-motivation. How to escape the conventional ways most people handle fear and stress at work. Left to their own devices, people DO have customary ways for dealing with fear that keeps them trapped in a destructive cycle of de-motivation. Let everyone else be governed by these tendencies—but not you.
2. Become A Person of Action and Influence. Most people tremble in fear when they sense resistance from colleagues or staff. This is ALL due to two giant communications mistakes that need never occur. By avoiding these mistakes, you will find it easy to gain trust and cooperation from colleagues.
3. Superior T-I-M-E management. According to Robert Half International, most people work approximately 50% of the time. The rest of the time, they take coffee breaks, check their personal email, and chat. In the other 50% of the time, they work on what is fun to do, not what is hard and important. This module reveals how to use mental toughness to dramatically increase efficiency and personal productivity.
4. Performing Flawlessly Under Pressure. Performance anxiety blocks people from tackling the tasks needed to produce breakthroughs for your organization. This module gives you the know-how to shine in pressure-filled negotiations, presentations, or meetings.
5. Create Unparalleled Commitment to Results. This skill exists within EVERY results-driven person. Especially motivated performers commit to outcomes by mastering this core skill.
6. The Rare Relationship Mindset Genuine Leaders Possess. This mindset, in combination with the 10% harmony strategy, allows you to negotiate win-win outcomes and collaborations (rather than suffer the low trust that prevails in most cultures).
7. Eliminate perfectionism and self-criticism. Defensiveness, taking things personally, and struggling to make decisions are all due to an overdose of inner negativity. Learn why positive thinking is not enough to overcome this problem and what you really need to do to defeat it.
You can see that, without sounding trite, it is about working “smarter” – with an advanced inner game that moves you fast and furiously through your emotional barriers. Having taught these skills to employees of several top organizations in town, we’ve become absolutely convinced that there are few skills of comparable economic value.
