KEY TAKEAWAYS We spend more time in non-verbal communication so understanding sensory acuity is key. We are programmed from a very early age but we are able to continually able to pivot and change our thinking. If you want to instil new behaviours it’s about routines and repetition. Visualisation and having an end goal is vital but it all starts with basic foundations of what am I going to do today and how am I going to do it? We all want to be in control and feel important. Learning to give control away of the things you can give away control of is the key to creating freedom If we don’t give ourselves the ability to be organised, disciplined and get things done then we will never be able to do the things we want to do. Creating governance and clear structure and discipline is what allows you to maintain high performance. Recovery is a paradigm shift – you have to take time out to be more productive. Recovery is about doing something that helps you to regenerate and gives you energy. It could be as simple as taking a walk or being thoughtful for a few minutes. Its ultimately about loving what you do and having a passion for what you do. When you have a passion, you will have energy.
