The Difference That Makes The Difference: The Mindset of Peak Performance

Mindset sessions help individuals to become less vulnerable to external events.

From an individual perspective a deep dive into mindset results in less stress and more satisfaction in their role. From a company perspective it creates employees whose motivation is more consistent, driving higher levels of productivity and bottom-line results.

The key target of Mindset development can be summed up with one simple thought –"what would happen if your best day became your benchmark for your average day”.

This Keynote address will be used to introduce the topic and some core ideas and help to build engagement.

Key Concepts covered:

• Circles of Influence/Control/Concern
• Mindset vs Skillset
• The science of how to be more lucky
