Greatness is a matter of timing.
Executive and mental performance coach Brian Levenson has spent years
working with high performers in sports, business, and culture. And from
the field to the boardroom, he noticed something surprising. Talented
people were failing to reach their goals, not because they lacked the
necessary skills, but because they didn't understand the mental
processes that fueled them.
When it comes to high performance, talent isn't enough.
He began interviewing former CIA agents, world-class chefs, astronauts,
athletes, CEOs, and more to find a solution, and soon realized that
elite performers have one thing in common. They shift between
complementary mindsets, one for preparing effectively and one for
delivering when it counts. Only by practicing both mindsets do the best
of the best--such as swimmer Diana Nyad, performer Taylor Swift, and
legendary football coach Tom Coughlin--move seamlessly from drills to
game-changing plays and back again.
In Shift Your Mind, you'll learn nine key mental shifts to help you
think like a high performer:
- humble and arrogant
- work and play
- perfectionistic and adaptable
- analysis and instinct
- experimenting and trusting process
- uncomfortable and comfortable
- future and present
- fear and fearlessness
- selfish and selfless
With exercises, examples, and actionable tips, each chapter explores the
power of the shift through skills like visualization, mindfulness, and
self-talk.
