This week on ‘It’s More Than Money’ Kye talks with Rich Diviney, a former Navy SEAL Commander and author of The Attributes – 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance.
Beneath obvious skills are hidden drivers of performance, surprising core attributes that we all possess — including cunning, adaptability, perseverance, courage, even narcissism. These attributes determine how resilient, situationally aware or how conscientious we are, ultimately, they can play a significant role in determining how successful we are in life.
We explore with Rich what these attributes are, how to identify ones that exist within you and how being aware of these can help you be at peak/optimal performance. Importantly, Rich explains that optimal performance is about doing the very best that you can in the moment—whatever that moment might be and whatever “best” looks like. It is the ability to do the best you can in any environment and the attributes you possess that will help you.
We talk about the difference between skills and attributes, how to overcome fear and humour as a super power in all that you do personally and in business. Rich also sheds some light on the Navy Seal Hell Week and what separates those who make it it to become a Navy Seal and those who don't
