Insight Thru Experience Podcast sof724stg

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. In this episode, we pulled some of the most pertinent feedback items we pulled from the Days 1-5 selection videos we posted earlier.
The intent behind this episode is to give the audience the five biggest takeaways that we garnered from the candidates to help increase the performance of not only future candidates here, but also across the military and civilian sectors as well.
Takeaways:
1. During problem-solving, leaders need to establish a proper planning structure, set clear intent, and get out of the way.
2. Sleep deprivation will be a huge obstacle during the process.
3. Use the Cognitive Performance Manual on our website to increase your cognitive capacity before you get here. (Link to manual below)
4. Build a strong "why" statement before you get here.
5. Get better at solving novel problems.
Runner UpTopics:
6. Footwear choices.
7. Physical prep advice.

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. This is the fifth and last episode where we hear from operator candidates as they proceed through our operator assessment and selection.
Day five finds the candidates back at the hotel after completing Phase III--the field phase. In this episode, the candidates discuss their final few events and how they performed. Many lessons are being delivered in their thoughts, and this should serve as a training guide for those coming behind them. Their insights from day five provide a great look inside the selection process for one of the nation's most elite units.
You will hear terms like "good side of the road", "under the streetlight", and "redline" in their comments. These are all terms and concepts that we use during the process to serve as guideposts for the candidates during selection.
Intent
I chose nine candidates at random to answer six questions each night before they went to bed down. The intent behind doing this was to give the listener a feel for what it's like to move through Phase II of our selection process and how to prepare effectively before you show up.

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. This is the fourth of five episodes where we hear from operator candidates as they proceed through our operator assessment and selection.
Please visit our YouTube channel and go to the comments section of this video to give these guys some appreciation for recording them. They sacrificed some sleep and mental bandwidth to record these for you.

Day four brings forth a host of insightful information coming from these nine guys as they were in the middle of Phase III (field phase). One of the main themes they discuss is how sleep deprivation is the largest variable affecting their ability to perform at peak levels. They also discuss how they are realizing that real problem-solving is often much different than what they are used to back in their normal worlds at their current units. Their insights from day four provide a great look inside the selection process for one of the nation's most elite units.

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. This is the third of five episodes where we hear from operator candidates as they proceed through our operator assessment and selection.
Day three is interesting. The guys were processing the feedback from day two and looking for any signs that they were performing better. Sometimes, our need for a win overshadows reality, and this was in full effect on day three for some of the guys. They didn't perform very well during their individual problem-solving event, but they processed it as an improvement from the day before. Regardless, their insight into day three is a great look inside the selection process for one of the nation's most elite units.
I chose ten candidates at random to answer six questions each night before they went to bed down. The intent behind doing this was to give the listener a feel for what it's like to move through Phase II of our selection process and how to prepare effectively before you show up.
