    How To Build Consistency With High Performance | True Driven™ Podcast | Ep. 14

    It’s one thing to hit a high level of performance and achieve extraordinary results, it’s another thing to maintain that level. One-off success is nice, but consistent and even predictable success is what sets the very best apart from the mediocre masses.. If you are striving for your absolute personal best, and especially if you are driven to be THE best in your field of endeavor, you are a very rare breed. In a society that seems to celebrate and elevate mediocrity, it can be frustrating to push against the narrative. HOWEVER…True Drivens™ see this as an opportunity to stay true to themselves and capitalize on the void of leadership and excellence that seems to be getting bigger by the day. And I’ll share a simple yet powerful principle I learned and leverage every day as a Naval Aviator to help you hit your highest levels of performance consistently. In this episode of the True Driven™ Podcast, we tackle the challenge of consistent excellence and discuss: - The importance of pursuing your best (now more than ever) - How setting and maintaining high standards is a force multiplier for team/organizational excellence - The fallacy of perfectionism and how to grow from failure - How paying keeping a tally of wins and losses can pay huge dividends and bring results faster - The power of small, incremental improvement, and how it leads to rapid success - And more… Be sure to subscribe to “The True Driven™ Podcast” on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-driven-podcast/id1595991380 And on Spotify:https://jtdebolt.libsyn.com/spotify Also check out: Website: www.JTDeBolt.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jtdebolt Facebook: www.facebook.com/FlyWithJT #TrueDriven #Leadership #Servantleadership #Leadershipdevelopment

    The Difference Between Power, Authority, And TRUE Leadership |True Driven™ Podcast | Ep. 13

    One of the biggest growing–and dangerous–misconceptions in society is around the meaning of the word “leadership”. The term has gotten so bastardized, overused, misconstrued and attached inappropriately to so many egregious examples of the exact OPPOSITE of leadership, it’s no wonder people have begun to lose faith in the concept of it altogether. Just because someone is in a position of leadership does not define them as a Leader. It is incumbent upon all of us, the True Driven™ Leaders of the world, to hold people in leadership positions to high standards, and more importantly, demonstrate in our daily lives what it means to truly lead. In this episode of the True Driven™, we examine: - The difference between authority and influence - How experience and “tenure” don’t define leadership - The reasons it is critical for us to hold people in leadership positions accountable and to high standards - How competence and skill doesn’t mean the person can lead - The myth of confidence, and what type of confidence you need to be a better leader - The dangerous combination of high confidence and low competence and how to identify it - The importance of courage in leadership - Why compassion matters more in leadership than experience - And more… Be sure to subscribe to “The True Driven™ Podcast” on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-driven-podcast/id1595991380 And on Spotify:https://jtdebolt.libsyn.com/spotify Also check out: Website: www.JTDeBolt.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jtdebolt Facebook: www.facebook.com/FlyWithJT #TrueDriven #Leadership #Servantleadership #Leadershipdevelopment

  4. Failure, And The Power Of Self-Acceptance | True Driven™ Podcast | Ep12

    Failure, And The Power Of Self-Acceptance | True Driven™ Podcast | Ep12

    There are countless strategies for success, but few leave out a critical factor in every significant endeavor of excellence: RISK. The ability to take calculated and uncomfortable risks is not only a high-performance skill, but one that separates the exceptional few from the mediocre masses. But few are willing to face the brutal reality: risk sometimes ends in losing, but winning ALWAYS comes from risk. Few people are willing to take the risks necessary to advance their careers, their businesses, and their lives, but why? What causes otherwise smart, capable, people from backing down from their full potential? How come more people are winning the game of life? In this episode, we’ll search for answers and explore: - The real reason(s) some people aren’t cut out for success - The difference between excellent business leaders and curious wantrepreneurs- The difference between a calculated risk and a reckless gamble - The most important bet you can place on your own success - The (huge) difference between losing and being a “loser” - How taking risks can be one of the highest expressions of yourself - How winning doesn’t necessarily translate to success - When losing is more valuable (and profitable) than winning - And more… Results don’t come to the cowardly who resign to fear; results race thunderously toward the bold and courageous who dare to endeavor into the skies of uncertainty. It comes down to taking the risk, accepting the possibility (and if need be, reality) of failure, and having the grace to accept yourself and respect yourself for even having the courage to strive. And in the end, you’re either playing to win, or playing not to lose. Make sure you are playing to WIN.

    Overcoming Apathy And Finding Purpose | True Driven™ Podcast | Ep.11

    Apathy is the slow death of the soul and the evisceration of excellence. Apathy is defined as lack of feeling or emotion : IMPASSIVENESS, and lack of interest or concern : INDIFFERENCE. Apathy is the malignant nature of life; the deterioration of vibrance and desire. Apathy is the symptom of resignation from a life of excellence and the consequence of subscribing to a message of fear, division, and conformity to mediocrity. If apathy is the disease, Leadership is the cure. In this episode we dive in and uncover: - What apathy is and how it destroys performance and potential - How apathy slowly and insidiously shows up in the everyday lives of high-performers - What all Leaders need to be aware of to keep apathy at bay and purpose at full power - The importance of being connected to your Big 4™ to find your way out of the darkness - How finding something bigger than you to work for in order to banish apathy forever - And more… Seeking “motivation” won’t save you. Finding purpose will. And leading yourself is the answer.

    The Case For Freedom | True Driven™ Podcast | Episode 9

    Every person on the planet wants) and needs Freedom. Every. Single. Person. And what is alarming and disturbing is the increasing number of people who are surrendering their freedoms–sometimes unknowingly, and sometimes overtly–in the name of “safety” and conformity. It’s almost like a page of a George Orwell book. But under the surface (and increasingly more out in the open) there are dark forces working around the clock to take your Freedoms away. Often referred to as the "power elite", they are working tirelessly to convince you that Freedom is “wrong” or “selfish” and that safety is supreme, and compliance is your duty. These people are evil, and they will stop at nothing to see their plan through. But what would cause such a small group of power elites to want to strip us of our Freedom? What are their motives? What do they want? We can only speculate, and we may never truly know. And while we’re at it, what causes perfectly intelligent and healthy people to consciously decide to surrender their Freedom to these nefarious few? How do so many fall for such a nebulous and dangerous agenda? The better question is, when will people WAKE UP to the truth? In this powerful and challenging episode of The True Driven™ Podcast, we will explore the power of Freedom, how it serves us ALL, and why NOW is the time to rise TOGETHER and defend our birthright of Freedom before it is too late. Because once it's gone, Freedom will be gone forever.

    What To Do In Uncertain Times | True Driven™ Podcast | Episode 8

    Let’s face it, we are in some of the most challenging times in recent history. It’s undisputable. Doesn’t matter what side of the political aisle you are on, who you voted for, your world views or your personal opinions, we are living in unprecedented times. Uncertain times. And while everyone else reacts from a place of fear and insecurity, Leaders cannot afford the luxury of panicking or looking around for someone else to stand up and lead. It is on us–you and me–right now. This is nothing new for us True Driven™ Leaders, though the circumstances may be more challenging than others we’ve previously faced. How do we respond (instead of react)? How do we show up? What do we need to focus on in order to keep a level head and our eyes on target? These questions and more are paramount to staying focused and disciplined and keeping our attention on the most important elements of our missions. In this episode of The True Driven™ Podcast, we discuss: - How to stay centered in a world that seems to be unraveling at the seams - The danger of the addiction to the need for certainty, and how it is destroying yoru Leadership - How to show up with poise and confidence when others panic and fold under pressure - How to manage our ego and our fears in order to stay focused on solutions - Where to place our attention when we get overwhelmed or frustrated - How to lead others (even when they’ve surrendered to fear and propaganda) *WARNING: If you are easily offended or deeply rooted in identity politics, you probably want to avoid this episode.
