- Self-Improvement
If you’re someone who wants to live as your best self, you should know that it requires intense, challenging, often scary experiences to discover what it takes to achieve this state. Today, I share a story that echoes this truth － one where a moment of facing death unleashed a renewed sense of leadership, purpose, and success in my guest, Peak Performance Coach Jeff Wickersham. And I’ll tell you; it’s pretty heavy and revealing. Our conversation uncovers the arduous choice Jeff was forced to make with his mother’s death, ultimately igniting his fire for life and giving him a newfound purpose. Join us as we sip The BALVENIE DOUBLEWOOD 12 with a SPLASH of water and dig into the insights you need to know to spark more purpose and passion in your own life.
Wise Words from this episode:
Consider the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do in your life each time you are faced with a difficult challenge. Remember: you overcame and made it through rough patches before － you can do it again.
Learning something without putting it into practice isn’t personal growth, it’s wasted time.
The real hero inside of us will never be unleashed until we face and embrace our most arduous struggles. What hero-making adversity have you faced that you’ve not given yourself enough credit for?
As humans we innately lie to ourselves in order to feel safe and comfortable, so whatever effort you think is your max, you can likely give another 50%.
Living by core standards is imperative for you to experience a high-performance life. Choose these standards through the identity of who you want to be each day versus doing so based on how you feel.
