This MindEspresso is about the need and the purpose for #selfcompassion in your life. Recently an old friend (who I hadn’t talked to in some 10 years) took his own life. He was one of the most talented people I’d ever met, yet he never seemed to measure up to his own expectations. It made me reflect on one of the most profound insights I came across in my 5 years of podcast interviews with thought leaders: that self-compassion is a prerequisite for high performance and happiness. https://lnkd.in/etAsTZ3

Without self-compassion, you create anxiety, unneeded suffering and performance blocks. Lack of self-compassion can make you feel stuck and alone, prevent a healthy growth mindset, blind you to positive choices and sap you from motivations that move you forward. In a team setting, lack of self-compassion can cause cycles of self-pity and blame.

This MindEspresso on self-compassion looks at work by Dr. Andy Walshe, the former head of the Red Bull high-performance team, Kristen Neff, the author of Self-compassion, and Eckard Tolle, the author of the Power of Now.

MindEspresso: The Creator Zone

The secret to confidence and becoming a creator is to: 1. Operate with an abundance mentality and 2. Judge your worth by your internal values. If you live with a scarcity mentality you'll always be in a fearful state. If you live by other’s rules, you'll never feel in control. The key to living with confidence is to know that you can create a better world in alignment with your own values.

This MindEspresso is about why strategy fails and how to achieve 200% execution in 2021 by addressing the four strategy execution failure points: 1. Failure to Focus 2. Failure to Align 3. Failure to Energize 4. Failure to Track and Adjust.

This MindEspresso highlights how understanding our Human Needs can lead to greater fulfillment, contribution in the world and more “greenlights”. I also offer a controversial viewpoint on purpose.

This week’s Mind Espresso is about how to create memories that matter from the book The Power of Moments by Dan Heath and Chip Heath.
