You’re thinking about your work over the past week, or the last challenging conversation you had with your child or your parent, or maybe you’re thinking about the future and how to achieve your most audacious goals.You’re probably also thinking is, “Why do I keep making these same mistakes? Why is this so hard all the time? Why don’t I know what I want and how to get it?”These are great questions! And it totally makes sense to be asking them, because you know you can do better and you want to do better. So you decide to read that self-help book that’s been sitting on the shelf for months, probably even years. Better yet, you decide you’re going to buy the latest, most popular self-help book written by one of the top coaches in the world. That’ll do the trick. Really? You’ve been there before, and you’ve already done that… a few times. It didn’t stick. Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/07/27/better-clients-get-better-results/jglenos.com leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching

You find yourself in a heated discussion with a close colleague, a direct report, or maybe even your spouse or partner. You’ve been going back and forth about who is right and who is wrong. And it appears things are not going to get better any time soon.We’ve all been there, and it stinks.We want to settle things amicably. We want to keep the relationship trusting and healthy. And yet, we can’t quite let it go. We must prove our point. We must prove we are right!It’s a pretty sad condition we have put ourselves into. Battling with people who are supposed to be friends, our coworkers, our loved ones.Even though we know it’s stupid, we just can’t seem to let the other side win. We might be seen as weak, or incompetent, or scariest of all, that we might not know everything about certain topic.What is going on here? jglenos.comleadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #erformancecoaching

We all have something that we are really good at. Some of us are excellent innovators, others are fantastic connectors, and some are amazing producers.All of us have specific skills and strengths to do what we do and do it well. But what is your superpower? What is that one thing that you do better than anyone else? That thing you can’t easily describe, but you do it effortlessly when you’re in a crunch or in the zone. That gift, that talent, that quality that you bring to life and uniquely contribute to the rest of the world.And if you’re thinking you don’t have a superpower, you’d be wrong. You have one. You just have to claim it!#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #perfromancecoachingjglenos.com leadnsucceed.com

Have you ever wondered how you started the bad habits you currently have? Whether they are smoking, drinking, sweets and snacking, or doom-scrolling on social media, they all started innocently enough.

But after some time with them, you begin to realize, they are not moving you in the direction you desire. In fact, they may very well be moving you away from what you want and where you want to go.

You’ve probably tried to rid yourself of these nasty habits, but it’s hard. You just don’t have the willpower to try one more time. It’s too painful and it never ends the way you want it to. It just feels like one failure after another.

That might sound a bit dramatic, but it might also ring true in some instances.

So, what if I told you that you could break your bad habits without extreme doses of willpower, and without the excruciating experiences of loss, delay, or aversion?

Honey! Do you know what time my dentist appointment is?

No. It’s your appointment, not mine. Don’t you keep a calendar?

Well, no, not for everything. Just the important stuff.

And your dental health is not important?

Well, it is, but…

Sound familiar? I hope not, but many of us go through similar experiences daily. Maybe not with dental appointments, but as humans, we think we are smart enough to remember stuff. I mean, we only use 10% of our brains, right? We have TONS of space to fill it with this kind of stuff.

Except that we don’t.

You’re at the end of your day and you’re feeling pretty low energy. Not necessarily exhausted, but just run down and lackluster with your performance today. Sure, you completed that tough task, finished that punishing project, or successfully navigated that complicated conversation.

But at the end of the day, all you can think about is how you blew it in that meeting with your direct report. You could have said this, or you should have said that. It’s really gnawing away at you, and you can’t seem to let it go.

Why do we torture ourselves with these infuriating and demoralizing thoughts? Why do we focus so much on what we did wrong instead of what we did well?

I have a theory about this.

You’re traveling across Europe with a friend of yours, and you’re engaged in conversation about all the wonderful sights you’re seeing and the places you’re going next. But after a couple of minutes, you see your friend is playing on his phone. You decide to let it go and continue talking. Soon enough, your friend is back in the conversation, but he is clearly not up to speed on what you’ve brought to the conversation.

You’ve seen this happen before, and now you start to take it personally.

You’re pissed. You’re feeling disrespected, unappreciated, and neglected.

What’s going on here?

You’re about to step on stage to speak before five hundred people. You’re nervous. You’re sweating. You’re not feeling very confident in your ability to deliver to this many people from the bright lights of the stage. And so you pretend to be violently sick and rush off the stage hoping people will understand.

You blew it. You choked. You just didn’t have what it takes to close the deal. You lacked confidence.

People say that confidence is important and it empowers people to do things that others will not. They say that confidence provides the courage to muscle through and get things done that they, themselves, might otherwise not do.

These are false statements. Confidence if overrated.

How do I know this?

You’re thinking about doing something new or different. You want to start a new business, you want to produce a new program, you want to write a book, or you want to have that super difficult conversation with one of your employees or you partner.

Whatever it is you want to do, one thing is almost certain. Fear will pop up and show you all the ways you’re not going to be successful.

And then Fear will ask you to go for a ride. When you get in the car, where does Fear like to sit?
