Recently, I've been challenged by a certain four-legged, furry toddler called Whiskey (gratuitous photo op ??). Now, don't get me wrong, I love this new addition beyond measure, but he has challenged my patience and belief system more than any other dog before him.
Things that I had mastered with my other dogs meant nothing up against this clever, mischievous canine. His name suits him 100% and doses should be taken with caution! And what are the consequence of these persistent challenges - of facing the fact that I had to relearn what I thought I was in control of?
Self-doubt.
When you can't course-correct quickly and the knocks keep coming in rapid fashion (did I mention he's an enthusiastic chewer ????), that self-doubt can take root and grow - which is exactly the opposite of what you need to move forward.
Champions like Michael Phelps, Novak Djokovic, Katie Ledecky, Leon Marchand and other elite athletes who use a pre-performance routine (PPR's) such as set diets, mental health routines and visualization can achieve up to 31% improvement in performance. (Psychiatrist.com, June 2024).
My point is that we all have off days - weeks even. Some are bigger than others. Take Olympic athletes for example; their off days could cost them a chance at Olympic dreams and also future sponsors and/or careers in professional sports. So, it's no surprise to know that so many elite athletes, and now CEO's and business leaders, have turned to visualization and other regimes to prop-up their mental health and manage self-doubt. Why? Because these techniques work. And the same is true of preparing for any important conversation or negotiation. So join me today as I take you through my five road-tested techniques for tackling self-doubt and maintaining forward motion - just like the pros!
