Check out the key moments below;
- 1.04: Do you prefer to sing or dance?
- 1.35: What makes you great?
- Curiosity (that's the entry point), passion for understanding (secret story of the evolution), and what's your aspiration (in service of what)?
- 2.52: What's the secret sauce in your origin story?
- 5.29: The trigger question: WHY NOT? Is there another way? This will ignite your curiosity!
- 7.31: Flow state mindset when working with racing car drivers.
- Tennis reaction time is 0.5 seconds, in comparison to racing car drivers' who must react within 0.2 seconds.
- 12.01: Can business people access flow state? Yes, because when you take the speed away, the pressure remains and people respond to pressure in the following ways:
- 1) Walk away
- 2) Get angry
- 3) Blame circumstances or other people (trying to protect our self-esteem)
- 4) Choke (because we can't see the next step)
- Or 5) You can take the risk because you consider yourself a learner (love the challenge)
- 13.48: Do you believe in mental rehearsal? Yes, it's essential because:
- "You win before you win. You are going to be the best under pressure."
- "I don't need to believe, I have experience."
- "You win before you win. You are going to be the best under pressure."
- 15.53: What makes a great coach? (WMAGC)
- Discernment - diagnosis to help
- Vision - alignment and compelling
- Leadership - infuse positive emotion so that they trust the journey
- 18.15: My definition of Trust among individuals and in Teams is as follows:
Trust = Co3Re3
Trust is Co3Re3 = [Communication x Cooperation x Commitment] x [Reciprocity x Results x Rewards].- Trust evolves from one element to the other: Communication leads to Cooperation, which leads to Commitment… Reciprocity (trust but verify, keeping it fair) leads to Results and Rewards. The impact is exponential (to the cube).
- The alignment of these Co3Re3 factors makes Trust in Teams exponentially powerful. It allows people to create common languages that IGNITES high positive energy and pride to attain meaningful achievements.
- 21.07: Book: The Glass is Full and a Half - A Memoir of Transformation by Carlos Salum
- "We cannot be creative if we don't allow ourselves permission to play!" (Especially in humor)
- A peak performer is a flexible, versatile, creative, resilient, and situational thinker who designs extraordinary results.
- 27.56: In the ever-evolving coaching landscape, what disruptive idea do you have that will disrupt the way we coach in 2030?
- AI for collective ethical wisdom!
